Chapter 7: The Inner Martial Art Academy

As Wu Hao and his fellow new students passed the entrance exam and entered the Inner Martial Art Academy, they were met with an aura of thick Qi that surrounded the area. It was as if they had entered a different world, where the air hummed with energy and the sky seemed to glow with a mystical light.

The place was bustling with activity, as students were either cultivating their Qi or engaging in fierce battles to test their strength. Each student was a master of their own craft, with a unique style that set them apart from the rest.

As they made their way through the crowds, Wu Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement coursing through his veins. This was what he had trained for his whole life - to become a true martial arts master, and to hone his skills alongside the best of the best.

Looking around, Wu Hao noticed a grand statue perched atop the academy. It depicted a man with a star in his hand and an air of superiority around him. It was said that the statue held a massive amount of pure Qi, which made the surrounding area perfect for cultivation.

But as they entered, the new students were met with suspicious glances from some of the other students who had been there for a while. They were discussing the recent incident that had rocked the academy, and some speculated that one of the new students might have been involved.

Student A said in surprise, "Isn't that the group of new students? I heard that one of them might have been involved in the incident that happened recently."

Student B chimed in, "I don't believe it. How could an acolyte interfere in a battle between two Sages? It's like two different levels of power."

Student C added, "I heard that the acolyte had an expert guarding him. He must be someone of great importance to have such protection."

Amidst the whispers, Wu Hao noticed three students who stood out from the rest. Yun Zi, Yan Jie, and Zhang Wei emanated a powerful aura that seemed to rival even Wu Hao's impressive Qi. These three students were clearly the cream of the crop, and Wu Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement at the prospect of training alongside them.

Suddenly, an old figure appeared before them. He was an imposing figure, with a strong and tough body that belied his years. He had a shock of long black hair and piercing black eyes, and he wore a white robe with a black stripe down the middle.

The old man's gaze swept over the new students, but it lingered on Wu Hao. He walked over to the young man with a strange smile on his face and said, "You have an impressive physical body and Qi. Have you been training for a long time?"

Wu Hao replied, "Yes, I have been training since I was a child. I have always dreamed of becoming a martial arts master and I believe that this academy is the perfect place to achieve that goal."

The old man nodded and said, "You have come to the right place. The Inner Martial Art Academy is renowned for producing some of the best martial arts masters in the world. But be warned, the competition here is fierce. You will need to work hard and stay focused if you want to succeed."

"I'll do my best." Wu Hao said in determination.

"Good. From now on you will officially become a student of this academy. You all can called this old Master Lou" The old men said with a smile on his face before turning his eye on Jing beside Wu Hao. "This young lady…"

Master Lou eye on Jing for a while, thinking and then he look at her again then he secretly send a weak wave of wind energy to Jing. Jing notice the energy that sent to her and know the intension of Master Lou to test her strength because he must observe her and can't she thought her true strength due to she has a high rank and only people above sage level can see through her strength as far as she know that the academy currently there is only director and other great elder of the academy is rumored to be a saint.

Jing has no choice but to play along and she act ask she didn't notice the wave and intend in letting it hit her.

Pinggggg!

Jing act as the wave force her to walk back a few step. All student jaw drop in a surprised of the sudden attack of Master Lou and looked at him in confuse. Among the them there is 3 figure afar from the area that hold a strong aura that is even higher and denser than all student around.

"What happened why did Master suddenly attack the new comer?" Yun Zi a beautiful women wore a pink uniform with a pair of pruple eye and a beacutiful black hair said in a surprise.

"It's strange that i cannot see through this new comer." Zhang Wei a fine looking men said in a curious expression before looking at Yun Zi behind him.

"Maybe she is the one that relate to the incident recently" Yun Zi think for a while before she said. "Brother Ling Jie you must know if she is the one or not right you were the one who observe the battle that time."

The men in black and white uniform meditate under a big tree between them open his eye and observe for a while before turning his head to the 2 his expression change into serious expression his eyebow become stern.

"What happened senior if she the one director was looking for?" Yun Zi curiously asked.

"She…. She…. She isn't the one i saw that day." Ling Jie said in a serious tone before turning into a joke. "Haha, how can it be the person i saw that day was a men but i couldn't see his face clearly due to far range but i can guarantee that she isn't the one relate to the incident."

"Humpppp! I thought there is something serious it turn out that you are joking with us." Yun Zi said in a little angry face but it turn out to be cute.

And so the 3 continues to observe the situation.

"This young lady i can't sense your qi what happened to you?" Master Lou said in curious and looking at Jing. "I am a grandmaster level and i am responsible for taking care of the new comer but it strange that i can't sense your qi and it would be hard to classify you to the group."

In this academy they classify the cultivator in different group base on their strength and ability and eventually the top 10 strongest students on the top ranked in the end of the years will get a chance to cultivate inside the hidden realm inside the status of the school where one might find the secret techniques and other treasures there. Legend has it that the first ever cultivator that become a god create this realm and seal in this Academy and inside the realm there is unlimit amount of martial art knowledge that he gather all his life time before advancing into a divine.

Jing smiled calmly and replied, "I apologize, Master Lou. I have been practicing a unique technique that allows me to conceal my Qi. It's a technique that only the highest level of practitioners can master."

Master Lou looked at Jing skeptically but nodded in understanding, "Very well, I will take your word for it. But it will be hard to classify you into a group without knowing your true strength. I will have to observe you closely in the future."

Jing nodded respectfully, "Thank you, Master Lou. I will do my best to prove my worth."

Master Lou smiled and said, "I have no doubt that you will. Now, let me introduce you to the rest of the academy."

With that, Master Lou led the new students on a tour of the academy, introducing them to the various masters and students. Jing was relieved that she had managed to avoid suspicion, but she knew that she would have to be careful in the future.

As they continued their tour, Wu Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for the masters and students at the academy. Each one was a true martial arts master, with a level of skill and expertise that he had never seen before.

He knew that he had a long way to go before he could reach their level, but he was determined to work hard and learn everything he could from the masters at the academy.

And with that thought in mind, he continued his journey, ready to take on any challenge that came his way, and to become the best martial arts master he could be. Then suddenly he remembered tye ring Master Li left him to deliver to Master Liu Feng back then before Wu Hao able to asked Master Lou about him. Yun Zi, Ling Jie, and Zhang Wei approached the group.
