Stunningly beautiful young lady

Upon entering the tower, they faced their challenge, and then the first floor of the Trial Tower returned to the number 500, and the entrance to the Trial Tower closed again.

As these fifty people entered the Trial Tower, the queue moved forward considerably, although more disciples continued to arrive, so the queue didn't seem to have shortened much.

"Wow, three more disciples have gone to the second level!"

The group was initially focused on the number 500 on the first level, wondering when the next group of failed challengers would emerge and when it would be their turn.

But when they looked up, they were surprised to find that the numbers on the second floor had changed.

"Can you guess how many of the twenty people on the second floor are freshmen from our year?"

Since everyone was already queuing up anyway, they started discussing it again.

However, everyone spoke in a relatively low voice, unlike the loud voices of Su Ning and Li Songyong. People who were a little further away could only hear some whispering.

However, once the discussion started, the surrounding disciples began to think and talk, and the word spread from one to five, and from five to ten to the back.

"Probably not. What freshman could be that good? This is only their first time trying out the challenge."

Several disciples shook their heads as they looked at the number twenty.

This is the Trial Tower, not some child's plaything. How could a new disciple possibly reach the second level right away?

Although some of the new disciples are indeed quite strong, the Trial Tower in this academy is not so easy to pass. Otherwise, why would so many people fail today?

"These should all be returning students. It's already quite impressive that the new students can get past the first hurdle."

After hearing the discussion, the older students who arrived a little later in line immediately chimed in.

"Exactly. How can freshmen expect to make it to the second stage on their first try? What about the face of us seniors?"

Several new disciples have joined Hu Na's side, and these are the ones who arrived later.

There were four men and four women, three of whom had only recently started currying favor with her, so they all talked more in front of her, acting as Hu Na's mouthpieces, hoping to show off their abilities.

They hoped that once Senior Sister Hu Na finished refining the pills, they could gain more convenience, obtain first-hand resources as soon as possible, and find a powerful figure to rely on.

(However, their wishful thinking backfired, because they later regretted it immensely...)

“Your words are problematic. We are all from the same college and should unite and help each other. How can you say such things? Wouldn’t that hurt the feelings of our juniors?”

"Moreover, those who can come to the Spirit Master Academy are naturally outstanding individuals; otherwise, how could they possibly enter the academy?"

"Moreover, each challenge requires not only strength, but also a bit of luck."

Seeing that her little followers' words displeased the surrounding disciples, Hu Na immediately adopted the demeanor of a senior sister.

"Senior sister is right. We have come to the Spirit Warrior Academy after overcoming many challenges. We are certainly not some snakes, birds, fish, insects, or rotten fish and shrimp."

They were indeed angry after hearing what was said, but since these were all senior students, they didn't argue with them, though they were still very dissatisfied.

After hearing what Senior Sister Hu Na said, they felt calmer and more at ease.

"Some of them might have just gotten lucky, maybe they got in by chance!"

However, some of Hu Na's followers, lacking common sense, still failed to understand the underlying meaning and continued to belittle and look down on the freshmen.

That's how it felt to these freshmen, anyway.

Hearing the senior student belittle them again, Hu Na was about to burst out with resentment and was about to retort when she spoke up again.

"Qianda, shut up! You're wrong. Apologize to your juniors!"

Hu Na spoke in a rather serious tone, but although she was reprimanding her little follower, she only pretended to be angry on the surface.

Moreover, she could have told the little follower to shut up before he finished speaking, but she didn't. Instead, she let him finish speaking so she could move on to the next step.

After hearing his senior sister's words, and seeing the slightly reproachful and amused expressions on the faces of his companions, Qianda reluctantly spoke with a stern face:

"I'm sorry, juniors, I shouldn't have spoken like that."

After saying that, he stood at the very back of the crowd, trying to make himself less noticeable.

At that moment, no one else had come to line up, so moving to the very back of the queue was actually just being at the very back of the line.

The expressions on the faces of the new disciples softened a bit after hearing this, but they didn't respond.

They were just discussing and watching Hu Na, the senior sister who was speaking up for them, because this senior sister seemed to be quite different from the rumors.

"Senior Sister Hu Na is a really nice person. How could she possibly compete with that Xiao Yasi for medicinal herbs?"

"Exactly, there are also rumors that she slandered Su Qing, which is simply impossible."

These people are incredibly opportunistic; they don't know the whole story and just make wild guesses based on a few words from others.

Upon hearing this, Hu Na finally smiled with satisfaction. These past few days, wherever she went, some ignorant disciples would point and whisper about her.

However, it is forbidden to harm disciples in the academy, and as a senior student, she was even more embarrassed to compete with them, so she came up with this idea.

She had accused Xiao Yasi of stealing her medicinal herbs during a previous mission, but unexpectedly, someone later testified that Xiao Yasi had picked the herbs herself.

This incident has caused a small group of people to view her with prejudice, so now she needs to find a way to remove those prejudices.

Furthermore, after they emerged from the ancient tomb, the fact that two female disciples testified against Su Qing led some people to bring up the topic of her.

She kept the matter very secret at the time, and no one came forward or testified that she had seen the person who stole the jade pendant when she came out of the ancient tomb. She only communicated and met with the person who stole the jade pendant. It is really unknown who spread the news.

Or perhaps someone is making wild guesses and directing the blame onto her.

Later in class, she spoke with the person who had secretly placed the jade pendant. She repeatedly assured him that she would not reveal any information. This person also had something on her, so naturally, he wouldn't dare to lie to Hu Na.

Although these people guessed correctly, without witnesses or physical evidence, she should pretend she didn't know anything and absolutely cannot admit it.

After the topic was interrupted, the atmosphere became much quieter, and no one continued to discuss it for a long time.

It wasn't until the Trial Tower issued its announcement that the topic of discussion returned to this.
