Ning closed his eyes and waited for the night to pass. He had his divine sense in the forest at all times to make sure the students weren't in trouble at all times.
Thankfully, the weaker beasts were coming back. The stronger beasts were always hesitant to come so near to the outside lest they get targeted by some strong individual.
A few of the students had begun the taming process about 3 hours after he had left the forest.
"Oh, she got lucky. That's not a bad beast at all."
"Ah, he knows that technique, huh? Not bad. Works quite well for him."
"Ahh, no, idiot. That's the herbivore version. Why is he trying to lure them with meat?"
He had fun looking through the different students trying to tame the beasts. He was waiting for the students to finish taming it all when something entered his range of divine sense.
Normally, thanks to a skill of his, his divine sense could reach out to about 3 kilometers around him, which was 3 times as wide as a normal Nascent Soul 1st Realm cultivator's divine sense.
Since he was focusing on the students, he had been sending it all in front of him, so he could see up to 6 kilometers in front of him right now.
'What's that?' he thought when he saw sensed the things walk inside his divine sense. 'Are those men?'
As they walked a bit inward, Ning could see that they were in fact men. The men sensed his divine sense on them and sent out their own divine sense, but theirs old went as far a kilometer or two, so they couldn't see anyone.
They didn't have the skill to focus on a single area to increase their range of divine sense like Ning did. The men were starting to get flustered.
Suddenly, something appeared in their senses out of nowhere. As they looked, a young man with the cultivation base of what looked like a Golden Core realm walked out from beyond the bushes.
Ning had teleported there to see who these men really were. When he did see them, he was a little surprised. From what he could see, every single one of these people had the same face.
'What's going on? They are clearly different people. Did they eat some pills?' Ning wondered. However, that didn't matter to him much.
"Gentlemen. My students are taking an exam behind here. If you would be so kind to either go around from here or fly up high. Thanks," Ning said to the men.
The men looked around at each other, a little confused. Just then, one of them saw the robe and badges on Ning's and whispered something directly to them using their Divine sense.
The other people looked at Ning would some sense of urgency as well.
Ning on the other hand frowned. Thanks to his superior divine sense, he caught the message being transferred between the men.
"So what if I am a teacher from the Academy? Does that have something to do with you people?" Ning asked seriously. He had lived enough to realize something wrong was going to happen due to these people.
The men realized they had been caught and immediately shouted, "Capture him!"
One of the men jumped at him and tried to catch him with his arms. Since he thought that Ning was a Golden Core cultivator, he didn't expect him to be able to dodge.
However, the reality was different. Ning directly caught the face of the man and held him tight, not letting him move at all.
"Who are you, people? What do you want with the academy?" Ning asked.
"Let go of him!" the men shouted and came close to attack Ning. They no longer seemed interested in capturing and tried to actually kill him.
One person sent out a red attack, another one punched at him, the next one brought out a sword and slashed, another one used a spear.
All of the attacks landed on Ning at the same time. However, none of it did a single scratch worth of damage.
Ning looked at all of them directly in their eyes and saw nothing but fear. "You really did well sealing your fate like this," he said with a demonic smile.
Suddenly, aura flared from him, showing his true cultivation base to the people.
The fear in their eyes got stronger when that happened. "Monster!" one of them shouted.
"Doesn't matter what you call me. All you guys need to do right now is die."
He crushed the man's face he was holding and with the same hand caught the nascent soul of the man before crushing it too. The other four men immediately jumped up and flew in four different directions, choosing to abandon whatever they were doing.
Ning simply shook his head and disappeared. He appeared in front of the man with the spear that was flying away and caught him by the neck. Without hesitation, he crushed his neck and took the spear from his hand before slicing the nascent soul in two as well.
Suddenly, blue light started glowing from the spear as he channeled his Qi into it. He looked to the side towards where the other person was flying away and immediately tossed the spear.
The spear flew away with incredible speed through the night and accurately hit the naval area of one of the men flying away and killed both him and the nascent soul in a single attack.
Ning then teleported over to another area and used a claw technique to shred one of the flying men into pieces. Finally, only the man with the sword was remaining.
Ning teleported next to him and stopped him by catching his head.
"ARRGGHH! Let go of me, you bastard!" the man started to shout and slash at Ning, but nothing fazed Ning. He didn't let him go at all.
"I will ask you this one time. Who are you? And Why are you here?" Ning said with a serious voice.
