Chapter 501: Chapter 501 Another World

"Squeak~~"

However, Little Gold seemed a bit reluctant and communicated through Origin Force to Wyatt Barnes, "Brother Wyatt, if you can’t go out... doesn’t that mean I won’t have any meat to eat?"

"You little rascal, always thinking about food... Don’t worry, we’ll go out once a month and I’ll let you eat till you’re full!"

Wyatt replied to Little Gold through Origin Force with an air of irritation.

Hearing Little Gold’s squeak, the middle-aged man simply turned his head to look at Little Gold with surprise. He then turned back and continued to walk forward.

Meanwhile, the looks that Titus Season and Jaxson Hawkins gave Little Gold contained a mix of fear and apprehension.

Even though Little Gold hadn’t demonstrated any strength in their presence, the mere aftereffect of its shriek was enough to unsettle their ’enslaved beasts’...

It could be imagined that this was definitely not an ordinary pet rat.

It’s very likely a ’Demon Beast’!

Along the way, Wyatt noticed that there were hardly any structures within the ’Dragon Phoenix Academy’, just a vast empty space.

Soon, under the lead of the middle-aged man, the trio arrived at a pitted and uneven area. This place was full of stagnant water, with garbage strewn about in many places, emitting a harsh stench that was hard to bear.

"This stinks."

Jaxson Hawkins couldn’t help but pinch his nose, his complexion turning somewhat unpleasant.

Originally, in his view,

The Dragon Phoenix Academy, being a school set up by the Royal Family of the Green Forest Royal Country, should have a decent environment even if it was set up hastily.

However, reality proved him wrong, terribly wrong.

"Hmm?"

Wyatt’s keen eyes caught sight of several dilapidated tents scattered around the uneven terrain.

These tents were full of damage, worn and tattered. If it rained, they could hardly provide any shelter.

Moreover, there were quite a few people outside these tents, watching them curiously.

Most of these people were young men, with a few young women among them.

They all had one thing in common.

From their appearances, none of them were over thirty-five years old.

"Is this really the living quarters for students of the ’Dragon Phoenix Academy’?"

A sense of foreboding arose in Wyatt Barnes’s heart.

At this time, both Titus Season and Jaxson Hawkins realized it too, their faces turned pale.

They all grew up in affluent families with the proverbial golden spoon in their mouths. They had never lived in a place like this before. Let them stay in such a dilapidated place-- it was downright torture.

"From now on, this is where you’ll be living... find a tent at will."

The middle-aged man turned around and glanced at the trio lightly before turning around and leaving.

Now, only Wyatt, Titus, and Jaxson were left, exchanging glances.

"We have to live in this hellhole for a year?"

Jaxson Hawkins’s mouth twitched, his eyebrows furrowed, and his face turned incredibly unpleasant.

Titus Season’s expression was no better.

Only Wyatt appeared calm.

To him, the conditions here were not too bad.

In his previous life as a special force and mercenary, he had often been subjected to various harsh conditions, with many places being hundreds or thousands of times worse than this.

Thus, even if the environment here was really poor, he did not complain.

Only through enduring hardships can one rise above others!

"New arrivals?"

Just then, a slightly hoarse voice came from a distance.

The trio looked toward the source of the sound.

Just one glance was enough for them to see a building similar to a watchtower standing in the distance on this uneven terrain, with an exquisite little house on top.

Compared with this standing exquisite little house, the tattered tents around the uneven terrain simply looked like the dwellings of beggars.

Immediately, both Titus Season and Jaxson Hawkins were green with envy, their eyes fixed on the exquisite little house.

Although this house was nowhere near as good as the ones they lived in at home, compared to these tattered tents, it was simply ’heaven’.

Only Wyatt’s gaze fell on the figure standing in front of the exquisite house.

It was an old man in grey, with a rigid face and a hint of fierceness in his eyebrows...

"I’m Vice Dean Millon Pond of Dragon Phoenix Academy, you can call me ’Vice Dean Pond’."

The old man in grey spoke indifferently.

"Vice Dean Pond!"

Upon hearing that the old man was the Vice Dean of the Dragon Phoenix Academy, the trio was taken aback and quickly greeted him in respect.

Titus Season and Jaxson Hawkins bowed.

As for Wyatt, he just nodded.

This scene made the old man take a few more glances at Wyatt.

"As soon as you enter ’Dragon Phoenix Academy’, you must abide by the academy’s rules!"

The old man scanned the trio indifferently and slowly said, "I suppose you were already informed of the ’rules’ you need to follow at the Dragon Phoenix Academy during this year... Now, I will tell you two more rules!"

As he spoke, a sharp look appeared in the old man’s previously cloudy eyes, and he said sternly, "Firstly, in our Dragon Phoenix Academy, different people enjoy different treatments! These tents around you are the dwellings currently assigned to you by the academy. You are not allowed to change them at will. Otherwise, the academy will expel you one by one!"

Not allowed to change at will?

Wyatt Barnes’s eyebrow raised slightly, he could understand the meaning in the old man’s words.

If it wasn’t for this rule, the students of Dragon Phoenix Academy, after setting up residency here, would definitely be eager to leave the Academy to purchase various things to improve their living conditions...

After all, those recommended to Dragon Phoenix Academy are the finest young talent from all over the Royal Country.

All of these people, within their respective factions, are all gems of their generation, when have they ever endured such hardship?

And now, with this rule established, it eliminates everyone’s desire to change their living conditions.

The old man’s words came through, Titus Season and Jaxson Hawkins looked at each other, bitterness on their faces.

They had just raised similar thoughts, only to be directly vetoed by the ’Dragon Phoenix Academy’s’ rules.

"What a stupid rule!"

Both of them couldn’t help but curse in their hearts.

"Vice Dean Pond, what does your statement about ’different people, enjoying different treatments’ mean?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"You’ll know soon enough..."

The old man didn’t explain further, and continued, "Second, students in the Dragon Phoenix Academy may fight, but not wound or permanently impair others! Otherwise, they will be expelled from the Academy."

Wyatt Barnes did not find this surprising.

Dragon Phoenix Academy has the responsibility to protect the safety of any young talent recommended to the Academy.

"Now, each of you go find an unoccupied tent to live in."

After the old man finished speaking, he ignored Wyatt Barnes and the others.

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and walked away to find an unoccupied tent.

The tents that are now left are even more ragged than the others...

The good ones have already been taken by others.

"I never thought ’Imperial Family’ would think this way... putting us in such a broken place! If they’re short of money, I could completely pay for my own place."

Jaxson Hawkins’s tone carried a full load of complaints.

"All this, perhaps, has some purpose."

Titus Seasons’s eyebrows knitted together as he speculated.

"What purpose could it possibly have."

Jaxson Hawkins scoffed.

In a short while, Wyatt Barnes and the others found their own tents - three tents, not far from each other.

The tents were very small, opening them revealed many cockroaches and their droppings, the sight alone was nauseating, unbearable.

"Damn! What is this place... can people even live here?"

Jaxson Hawkins’s face quickly changed as he closed the tent again after opening it.

At this time, many more people came, each choosing their own tents, their faces all looked rather unsightly, many couldn’t help but complain.

"Mealtime!"

A loud voice suddenly rang out.

Several middle-aged men came forth, bearing large bowls, atop them lay rice so thin it was barely noticeable, as well as a moldy steamed bun...

"A bowl of rice soup, and a steamed bun?"

Wyatt Barnes took his food, looking utterly stunned.

This won’t even get them full, how could they train?

"I tolerated living in such a terrible place, but this... is this edible?"

An angry Jaxson Hawkins finally exploded, throwing down the rice soup and moldy bun from his hand onto the ground.

Titus Season’s brows also furrowed; he had never eaten such food from childhood until now.

Though Wyatt Barnes felt somewhat incredulous, he didn’t find anything wrong, perhaps the Dragon Phoenix Academy was testing them.

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to start eating, a group of middle-aged men appeared before them. They too were bringing food.

However, their dishes were filled with fragrant rice and a variety of mouth-watering dishes and fine wines...

"Humph! This is more like it."

Jaxson Hawkins and Titus Season relaxed when they saw the food; their faces softened.

However, they were dumbfounded soon.

They saw the middle-aged men carrying the feast, walking straight past their area, heading inward.

In there, there was a large gate, leading to another area.

"This food isn’t for us?"

The color drained from Jaxson Hawkins’s face; he stepped forward, blocking one of the middle-aged men carrying the feast. He demanded, "What is the meaning of this? We get rice soup and moldy buns to eat, while others get fine wines and dishes?"

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man eyed Jaxson Hawkins dismissively and said, "If you’re capable, you could replace them! As long as you make it into the ’Inner Hall,’ you naturally can enjoy the same treatment."

After speaking, the middle-aged man ignored Jaxson Hawkins, passed through the gate, and entered the other area.

Inner Hall?

The words of the middle-aged man left everyone, including Wyatt Barnes, Jaxson Hawkins, and Titus Season, completely clueless.

Quickly, Wyatt Barnes and the rest couldn’t restrain themselves and followed in the middle-aged men’s path.

Behind the gate, what appeared before them was like a completely different world.
