"Less than a hundred people." Dai Yueheng replied calmly.

"There are sixty-seven people." Ma Xiaotao clenched her fists, and a hint of pain flashed in her eyes.

As a disciple of the dean of the martial arts department, she is much more sensitive to the replacement of disciples in the inner courtyard than Dai Yueheng.

Sixty-seven people? !

Huo Yunche and the other eight were all shocked.

Although they had already been exposed by Elder Xuan on the night of the reserve team selection, the death rate in the inner courtyard was extremely high, but

After thousands of years of accumulation,

And under the current default rule that high-level soul masters can survive for one or two hundred years,

There are only sixty-seven students left in the inner academy where students pass the exam every year?

How could this not shock them? !

"Have all the seniors left?" Jiang Nannan asked unbearably.

Leave, not graduate.

The hearts of the eight people in the reserve team suddenly sank. Although they had long heard about the extremely high death rate in the inner courtyard from Mr. Xuan, they still couldn't help but feel dumb when faced with it.

Mr. Xuan shook his head, nodded again and said, "You are right, he did leave."

He paused and seemed to be murmuring in memories:

"Except for a few disciples who successfully graduated from the inner courtyard and left the academy and became the 'big shots' in the area, most of the inner courtyard disciples left before they could graduate. They left the academy for which they fought and fought. Protect the world."

"In fact, there are not a few disciples from the Outer Academy who have successfully qualified for promotion to the Inner Academy. However, 70% of them will reject the invitation from the Inner Academy after careful consideration and choose to graduate directly from the Outer Academy."

"Because the inner courtyard, as I once told you, is not a paradise for soul masters, but a life-threatening lock that steps into hell."

"In the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, after thousands of years of precipitation, the most attractive thing inside is nothing more than the word inheritance. But neither the rich collection of books, nor the unreserved teaching, nor anything else can erase it. What will be destroyed is the heavy and endless responsibility they are about to shoulder."

"In other words, it is for the ideals of the academy."

"In other words, it is for the peace of the mainland."

"Those students who, after careful consideration, decided to give up the opportunity to further their studies in the inner academy, thought they could not bear the responsibility and left after swearing to keep it secret."

"And those children who entered the inner courtyard but failed to truly graduate will forever die in the battle that they knew well about the dangers, but devoted themselves to it without hesitation."

Speaking of this, Elder Xuan's voice was obviously filled with sadness, and the Shrek Seven Devils, who knew the inside story, couldn't help but have red eyes.

Who among them has never faced the departure of a companion? The helpless and helpless feeling of helplessly watching your partner's life disappear is really terrible.

However, no one regretted their choice.

"The college respects any choice made by all students."

"But what I want to say is that all students who choose to enter the inner courtyard for further study are heroes."

"Not only a hero of the academy, but also a hero of Douluo Continent."

A hero?

Huo Yunche lowered his eyelids and suppressed the restlessness in his eyes. Unlike Huo Yuhao and the others, who were still in shock, Huo Yunche was no stranger to the word hero. He was even familiar with it, and this familiarity was so familiar that even hearing it made him feel sick to his stomach.

I think of the time when I was framed in that small square because of the word "hero". I didn't dare to make any mistakes, walked alone, and lived a lonely and melancholy life.

Huo Yunche opened his eyes, his eyes wandering endlessly.

Dad, what was your original mood to become a "hero" in people's eyes?

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel nervous when he noticed that his sister suddenly radiated a coldness and sorrow hidden under the slight vibration, which seemed to be stained by the mud.

He seemed to see the little guy licking his wounds alone in the dark that he had seen back then.

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, and held Huo Yunche's right hand hanging by his side without leaving a trace. His fingertips lightly tapped the slightly cold back of her hand. The warm comfort made Huo Yunche's restless heart instantly calm. down.

She smiled slightly and held Huo Yuhao's generous palm.

The little actions of the brother and sister could not escape Mr. A warm smile with no hint of teasing.

"What cannot be denied is that from the time you became a disciple of the reserve team, you have already stepped into the inner courtyard.

Although I asked you once before the night when the reserve team was established, I have to confirm again whether you are really willing to take on the responsibilities that belong to the inner court before actually taking you into this mission.

If you don't want to, I will arrange for Wang Yan to take you directly to the competition site.

After the game, you will still enjoy all the rights of the reserve team, and the college will still give you the opportunity to consider it. You will not make a new decision on whether to join the inner college until the day of the graduation assessment of the outer college.

But now, just like those students who chose to leave after graduating from the outer academy, they only need to swear to keep it secret.

So, can you give me your answer? "

Huo Yunche felt the warmth in his slightly clenched palms, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that the word "hero" is not scary anymore.

The eight people looked back at each other almost at the same time, then took a step forward in tacit understanding, stood shoulder to shoulder, and answered in unison with infinite courage and determination: "Yes!"

As expected of the children I brought out single-handedly, none of them flinched. Even the first-grade children were able to make such a determination.

A somewhat gratified smile appeared on Mr. Xuan's face, and then his eyes darkened. This time, I must guard them!

"Now, I entrust the secrets of the inner court to your hands." He nodded and said solemnly, "When every inner court disciple makes a decision, we will tell us the names of the responsibilities and pressures they will bear in the future. It’s called—supervision.”

Old Xuan's expression became heavy and serious again.

"What we want to monitor is not all injustice on the mainland."

"It's the evil soul masters who have gradually evolved into evil soul masters or groups, or the malignant events that the country cannot supervise or is unwilling to supervise."

"All in all, the vast majority are thankless so-called 'heroic' incidents."
