Chapter 1684: There is No Guarantee

Wei Xu looked up at the red fog that had spread over the Lava Mountain Range. He nodded lightly and explained, “This is because there is molten lava flowing everywhere in the depths of the Lava Mountain Range. This red fog appears at the start of every month.”

“But no need to worry. You only need to wait it out for a night. You can leave tomorrow morning once the fog clears up.”

After saying this, Mentor Wei Xu specially examined those teams trailing behind Fairy Huanghe.

Everybody was in extremely poor condition.

Fairy Huanghe’s team in particular had agreed on leaving this hellish Lava Mountain Range by today. They had a conviction that they would be able to make it to Wengka City before dusk for a good rest.

But the result!

When their hopes were dashed, their energies also plummeted.

Adding on their worries, anxiety, and uncertainty toward the future, Fairy Huanghe’s team members were in extremely bad shape.

As their leader, Fairy Huanghe naturally knew that her team members were in poor condition.

But how could she look after them when she could barely save herself?

Beginning in the afternoon, Fairy Huanghe had also run out of water. Running out of water in this scorching environment meant that she was one step closer to death.

Afterall, cultivators merely had better endurance than other people. Even great spiritual cultivators were unable to completely abstain from food.

Wei Xu questioned solemnly, “What do you teams say? Are you leaving together with them, or continuing with the entrance exam mission?”

“If we persist until the end, would it guarantee our entry into the academy?” One student suddenly spoke up while licking his parched lips.

Wei Xu looked at him coolly and shook his head. “There is no guarantee.”

The truth was, Apex Academy admitted no more than three students every year. The academy had always been focused on cultivating elite students.

Even if they had many students, it was not useful if they all had disparate aptitudes.

The students that would remain at Apex Academy must be the three most outstanding students of this crop. There was no doubt about it.

When that student heard his merciless words, his face promptly turned green from anger.

Since it couldn’t guarantee their admission, then who would want to continue tormenting themselves?

If they were to continue with this, they would lose their lives before they could even enter the academy. Ha! Who could accept this!

This whatever Apex Academy was nameless and did not have the repute of the Four Great Academies after all. No one was willing to spend so much time and even risk their life for a possible fruitless outcome.

Even though it was only the second night since they had entered the Lava Mountain Range, it felt like they had been wallowing in two to three years of agony!

A good many teams behind Fairy Huanghe were clamoring about leaving the mountain at once. They did not want to have any more dealings with Apex Academy in this lifetime.

Mentor Wei Xu merely nodded lightly upon hearing this. He did not even try to persuade them to stay.

Stay if you want, leave if you wish. It was just this attitude.

This caused those students that had achieved nothing even after struggling so much to be crestfallen.. The crowd, which had originally been agitated from the lack of water, immediately became irritable.
