When Li Luo once again basked in the warm sunlight, standing at the Holy Mystical Star Academy, he gazed at that enormous Synergy Tree, as if having a kind of disorienting and otherworldly illusion.
Only after experiencing the darkness, oppression and killing intent of the dark cave can one understand how much this peaceful atmosphere is worth cherishing.
It's not just Li Luo who feels this way, many of the students around him who also emerged from the dark cave are closing their eyes and enjoying the soothing atmosphere.
"All ethnic groups living on the land of Daxia should actually thank the Holy Xuanxing Academy." Li Luo turned his head and said to Jiang Qing'e beside him.
He had no idea that the Holy Mystical Academy was actually suppressing this dark cave, and every year they would pay a heavy price in fresh lives to eliminate those aliens.
In a sense, the Holy Xuan Star Academy can be considered as the guardian of Dashan, while the Dashan Imperial Court is more like just a ruler.
So Li Luo felt that Xuanxue Academy was worthy of its lofty status in Daxia.
Jiang Qing'e was quite in agreement with this, regardless of whether the Holy Xuan Xing Academy had other reasons for doing so. At the very least, they were willing to expend such enormous resources and many excellent students and even instructors to suppress the Dark Caverns, preventing those twisted and terrifying alien creatures from bursting into their world. This alone was enough to make the people of Daxia remember.
As the two of them were talking, students kept coming out one after another from a wooden door that had been opened, and there were many who were not from the same base as Li Luo.
Apparently, the disciples of those other strongholds also gradually completed their purification tasks and began to exit the dark cave.
The square suddenly became lively with a throng of people.
However, no one has left yet, and instead, there are many instructors around maintaining order and prohibiting students from leaving. This is because every time they leave the dark cave, all students will undergo a check.
Pollution detection.
Some students may be unknowingly infected with evil thoughts in the dark cave due to prolonged battles against monsters, and if this is not discovered early, the evil thoughts will have a deeper impact on them, leading to some serious consequences.
So every time you leave a dark cave, pollution detection is an indispensable step.
As the two Zixiao instructors' bodies rose into the air, in the next instant, it was as if there was a dazzling light bursting forth in mid-air, transforming into a vast expanse of energy beams that shone down.
These energy rays fell on the body, with a cool feeling, and as if also having a condensing effect, which made many students' tense spirits gradually relax at this time.
And it was under this physical and mental relaxation that some hidden things ran out.
Ah!
A scream rang out, and some eyes turned to see that there was a student who was struggling with a faint black aura on his face, which made his expression gradually twisted and ferocious.
This is being contaminated by evil intentions.
But just as this sudden change occurred, a mentor's figure flashed out like lightning, quickly subduing the student and forcibly taking him away from the square.
This kind of pollution is usually not too severe, it just takes some time to purify, I suppose that student will have to spend the next half month in the purification room.
After the first polluter appeared, several students were found one after another, but they did not cause any disturbance and were all pacified.
Until the last two Violet Star instructors descended from the sky and dispersed the energy beams, this inspection was considered over.
Many students felt relieved.
Li Luo also let out a sigh of relief, but immediately he found that Jiang Qing'e's expression seemed to have become more solemn at this time, and asked: "Isn't it over yet?"
Jiang Qing'e fell silent for a moment, then said, "Just watch."
Under Li Luo's somewhat puzzled gaze, the two purple radiance instructors looked around the room with equally solemn expressions and said in a deep voice: "This purification task is hard on everyone."
"We are relieved that you have returned safely, but...not everyone has come back, and some students were forever buried in the dark cave."
The hustle and bustle in the square suddenly disappeared, all the young faces of the students became heavy, some people even showed sadness, because among the disappeared students, there were familiar people.
Perhaps a month ago, they were still together, drinking and talking happily, looking forward to the future.
But now, those faces can no longer be seen.
In the square, there was a low sobbing sound.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
The two purple instructors' voices sounded again, and this time they recited names, which were the students who died in the dark cave.
"Er Xing Yuan, Chen Zhen."
"Er Xing Yuan, Liu Ming Er."
"Samsung Institute, Mongchi."
“......”
Every time a name is called out, two purple radiance instructors would fly out with a small amount of light from their sleeves. It was an emerald green leaf, the size of a palm, and upon closer inspection, it had a person's name engraved on it - those were the names of the students who died in the dark cave.
One by one, the leaves flew out and finally floated towards the Xiangli tree. On the Xiangli tree, there were branches stretching out, and these leaves fell on them, firmly clinging to them, swaying gently in the wind.
At this moment, Li Luo finally understood that the exceptionally green tree leaf belt was actually a representation of the students who had made sacrifices for the Holy Xuan Star Academy during the purification of the dark cave.
It can be imagined that over the years, Shengxuan Xuefu has paid a great price in order to suppress the Dark Abyss.
As the last leaf flew onto the Xiangli tree, two Zihui instructors bowed their heads slightly, and a calm, low voice sounded.
"My heart is fearless."
"May we live forever."
Many tender faces also became solemn at this time, and voices rose one after another.
"My heart is fearless!"
"Long live our generation!"
Li Luo looked up at the unusually lush green leaves of the Xiangli tree and fell silent for a moment, then asked Jiang Qing'e: "Why didn't the Academy invite other powerful people from Daxia to suppress the Dark Cave? Wouldn't that reduce some losses?"
Jiang Qing'e said calmly, "Firstly, those who can enter the Sacred Profound Star Academy are considered to be among the most outstanding of the younger generation in Dashu. Their strength and potential may not necessarily be inferior to those from other places in Dashu."
Moreover, although these disciples are young, their nature is relatively purer, and although it can't be said that they have no evil intentions, compared to those external strongmen who have experienced deceit and slaughter, the probability of being polluted in the dark cave is slightly lower.
"The mentor told me privately that in the past, Shengxuan Xuefu also sent out for help at critical moments and invited some external strongmen to come over. However, although these strongmen were indeed stronger than the students, when they encountered aliens, their evil intentions were easily triggered, and as a result, extremely deep evil intention seeds were planted, ultimately leading to even greater trouble."
"So, the academic institution has always been cautious about inviting external strong helpers."
Li Luo furrowed his brow. It turned out that there was such a secret, no wonder the Academy would rather pay the price every year to purify the dark cave than seek external help.
Of course, most importantly, the situation should still be under the control of the academic institution, so there is no need for that.
As for casualties... although it's a bit cruel, they are inevitable in the end.
Li Luo gazed at some students with sad faces and let out a soft sigh.
"Suddenly, I really want Saint Xuan Star Academy to get that 'Dragon Bone Holy Cup'."
With the Holy Grail, at least for four years, the Shengxuan Xing Academy will no longer have to worry about student casualties. Although in a sense, the academy that lost the Holy Grail will face a situation where students are injured or killed, Li Luo is not a saint after all, and he doesn't have the ability to take care of so many things. What he wants is just to make the atmosphere of this Shengxuan Xing Academy a little better.
