"Shiwu is right," Yi Yunfei spoke first. "If we didn't know, we could have passed by in ignorance. But now that we know the truth here, even if it is just a guess, we must seek the real answer. We must save whoever we can. Look at the people below. They are no longer human. This place is cruel. They are neither human nor ghost. If we can heal this plane, even without karmic merit, I feel it is worth it."
"I agree," Gu Jun said. "We are healers. As Shiwu said, a healer’s instinct is to use medical skills. Since we have this ability, why not try? If we don’t try, I feel we betray our instinct as healers."
"I don’t know what to say," Jian Feiyan said. "But since Shiwu said this, she must have thought about it a lot. I stand with Shiwu."
"I also want to try to heal this world. Not for karmic merit, but for my heart. 'Human nature is good at birth.' What good words. I don’t want to see it become 'Human nature is evil at birth' in the future," Ouyang Tianyun said.
"Since that is so, let’s try," Lei Danfeng agreed.
Liu Qirong also said, "Let’s try."
"Let’s try," everyone else expressed.
"Let’s try." Three words. Easy to say, but hard to do. Everyone knew this, but no one retreated. Perhaps it was because Zhu Yanyi said they were all healers.
"In that case," the Medical Elder and Martial Elder looked at each other. "You try. At worst, we return with no results."
"It is rare for you children to be so united. We elders and teachers will not stop you. Go ahead and try," the Martial Elder agreed with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles. For the first time, they felt that making a decision could make their body and mind so happy.
Zhu Yanyi smiled too. She didn’t expect things to go this far.
"So, what do we do next?" Yi Yunfei looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Shiwu, you tell us?"
"Next, we must participate in the small competition. Isn’t that why we came here?" Zhu Yanyi smiled playfully. "But this time, we will fight hard. They in the Shangmo Plane like to fight, so we will use that fighting spirit. We will suppress them heavily. First, we must destroy their belief in demonic strength. Then we can change other things. So this small competition is very important for our next plan. Therefore, senior brothers, sisters, junior brothers, and sisters, you will have to work hard."
"(⊙o⊙)…" Lei Danfeng said slowly. "In all these years, I haven’t seriously participated in a competition. Every time, I just got a rank that was okay. It seems this time, we must use all our strength."
"I think if we seventeen can get first place and go back, we can blackmail the Dean," Jian Feiyan said irresponsibly.
Even though the Medical Elder and Martial Elder were there, she still said this boldly. Jian Feiyan was very excited about blackmailing the Dean.
"Cough, cough." Yi Yunfei coughed twice. "Second Sister, you cannot speak like that. You must leave some face for the Dean."
"Okay, leave some face. Everyone don’t tell anyone," Jian Feiyan looked at the Medical Elder and Martial Elder, then spoke pleasingly.
"You bunch of scoundrels. You want to scheme against me as soon as you leave," the Medical Elder said. It turned out he had opened the communication token without anyone knowing. So everyone’s discussion had been heard by Xi Muzheng.
"Oh my god, Dean, if you are going to speak, can’t you tell us first? Luckily we are in a private room, or else you would have scared a group of people," Jian Feiyan said. She never thought she was wrong.
Xi Muzheng snorted. "I am too lazy to talk to you. But since you children have decided, go do it boldly. Remember to bring back first place." Then Xi Muzheng cut off the communication.
Everyone looked at each other. Mi Xiao said slowly, "Did the Dean hear us and get scared?"
"Ninth Brother, don’t talk nonsense. The Dean is Ancestor Dongxu. How could he be scared so easily? It’s fine. Let’s pretend he doesn’t know. Anyway, I only heard one sentence: do it boldly," Lei Danfeng said with a grin.
"Then let’s do it boldly. So for this small competition, we must prepare well." As for what to prepare, everyone knew clearly.
Since Zhu Yanyi said they were healers and using medicine was the most normal thing for healers, they had become obsessed with using medicine to solve problems. So for this small competition, they decided to use medicine first, and keep other methods for later.
Seeing them discuss enthusiastically, the Medical Elder and Martial Elder silently turned away. Forget it. The children’s enthusiasm is so high. How could they bear to stop them? Forget it. It is just a trip anyway. Let them play happily.
It has to be said that the teachers and students of the Sage Academy are all like this. They are very good at finding excuses.
After walking around outside, the teachers and students of the Sage Academy entered a strange state.
They rarely went out. They walked around in their rooms or courtyards. Of course, they did not cultivate. This situation was not only seen by the teachers and students of the Shangmo Academy, but also by the teachers and students of the other three academies that arrived later.
But they knew that the teachers and students of the Sage Academy were always casual and strange. So not going out was understandable. Some even guessed that they were hiding in their rooms to sleep.
The day of the competition was approaching. The day before the competition, the Shangmo Academy came to notify them. They would hold a welcome party for the arrival of the four academies. The date was the day before the competition. So the Medical Elder and Martial Elder led the seventeen students slowly to the place for the welcome party.
The party was held in the grand hall of the Shangmo Academy.
The students of the Shangmo Academy exceeded ten thousand. The grand hall was also very large. This welcome banquet before the five-school small competition was held here. It used buffet-style dining. Most of the food on the tables contained spiritual energy or primal energy.
"Ninth Brother, do you want this spiritual chicken leg?" Gu Jun asked Mi Xiao.
"Yes." Mi Xiao was a typical foodie. She would never miss good food. The taste of this spiritual chicken leg was quite good.
Zhu Yanyi poured a cup of spiritual tea, picked a few spiritual fruits, took a portion of pastries, and came over.
