A person's name is like a tree's shadow.
Lin Xiao noticed that their mentality changed instantly after Wu Zhonglin announced his name. They used to be a little arrogant, but it all disappeared in front of him.
"I'm so envious!"
It can be imagined that this feeling would be very refreshing. He also wanted to be like this, but his current strength is still one step away from that.
Even if his real strength and potential are barely enough, even if Dongfang Piaoxue and Li Xiushen and others know that he is very powerful, but he is still one step away from being ranked on the Tianjiao Vice List. In their hearts, he is still at the same level as them, not like Wu Zhonglin and senior Chu Mo who are on another level.
"I must work hard this time, at least I have to get a secret treasure!"
Lin Xiao secretly made up his mind.
Representatives of the affiliated middle schools of the five super universities have arrived one by one. Compared with the War Throne, which has Wu Zhonglin, the other three super universities do not have any Tianjiao who can be ranked on the Tianjiao Vice List.
It's not that there are no such super elites, but there are no such elites who are ranked in the second grade of high school. Not only them, but also some higher education institutions may have them in the third grade of high school. After all, there are 36 quotas, and it is impossible for all of them to be in the 12 super universities.
For players in the Divine Domain like them, everything is based on strength. As soon as the five teams gathered, the students who were traveling with Wu Zhonglin immediately felt the change in the atmosphere. One of them smiled and stood up and suggested:
"We have 65 people here now, and there are 35 quotas. With our strength, it is not a problem to grab the first place under the leadership of classmate Wu Zhonglin. The remaining four teams can be recommended by us, such as Gulong, Xingluo, Fengmo and other higher education institutions. They have certain strengths and will not be a drag if they join us."
"This..."
Dongfang Piaoxue and Li Xiushen looked at each other, gave each other a look, and turned to look at Lin Xiao and said:
"Lin Xiao, what do you think?"
Everyone's eyes looked over. Lin Xiao was stunned and cursed the two for being cunning and directly pushed the pot over.
However, he couldn't pass the buck like the other two did. The two of them could use their lack of strength as an excuse to pass the buck, but as the first on the first half of the year's list, he defeated the two of them personally and was recognized as the strongest in the grade. He had to take the blame and couldn't pass it off.
The contestants from the four super schools all looked at Lin Xiao with interest. They were all curious that the number one in Huiyao was this person who looked neither handsome nor conspicuous. To be honest, if Dongfang Piaoxue and Li Xiushen hadn't said it, they wouldn't have recognized that the number one in Huiyao looked so ordinary.
Well, compared to other descendants of true gods from noble families, he really wasn't handsome.
It was also the first time for Lin Xiao to be a representative, and he was representing Huiyao. To be honest, he was a little nervous. He took a deep breath to suppress all kinds of distracting thoughts in his heart, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice:
"I don't think this classmate's recommendation is to my liking."
As soon as he finished speaking, he could feel dozens of eyes becoming sharper. Even Dongfang Piaoxue and Li Xiushen were full of surprise. They didn't expect that he was usually quiet and low-key, but he was so sharp when he spoke.
"Good fellow, they rejected it directly."
The students from Mingluo, Shennu and Shengjing all looked like they had nothing to do with it and watched the show. Anyway, among the five families, only War Throne's strength was not much different from Huiyao. Although the other three families were also super schools, their hard power was much worse, so they couldn't compete.
Of course, if they really wanted to compete, they could compete for a few places, but there were still three families here. If they really wanted to compete for a place, they would have to compete for three places.
So they tacitly didn't have this idea and just watched the show.
At this time, Lin Xiao continued:
"If we really continue to compete in this situation, it will be endless. If it is deadlocked, the school leaders watching outside will also have opinions, so I won't be empty. I suggest that these four extra places be given to Huiyao for two and to Wu's War Throne for two. How about it?"
Everyone thought about it, and many nodded secretly.
But the War Throne student who had spoken just now said with a half-smile:
"What about the students from Mingluo, Shennu and Shengjing? They are all from one of the twelve super academies, and all the places are divided among our two families. They..."
"Who are you?"
Lin Xiao frowned, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he said with disdain:
"Student Wu and I are talking, and you have no right to speak. Or are you qualified to represent other students from War Throne to make trouble?"
The man's face turned gloomy before he finished speaking, and when he finished speaking, it became even gloomier as water, and said coldly:
"Who are you, you..."
"I am Lin Xiao, the number one on the Huiyao High School Sophomore Ranking. I can represent all the Huiyao students present. Can you?"
Lin Xiao interrupted the other party without hesitation, with contempt in his eyes:
"If you are not convinced, you can challenge me. If you win, the four places will be yours. I said it."
The tone was firm, and more than a dozen students from Huiyao were surprised, but no one refuted. Shen Yuexin in the crowd heard it and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, with bright eyes.
"If I win, all four places will go to me. Do you dare?"
He pointed at the man with a domineering attitude.
"This is a good deal!"
Xia Yu was lying in a certain space, waiting for several beautiful girls to serve him. Seeing this scene, he nodded in praise.
This scene also fell into the eyes of countless people who were paying attention to them. Some praised him, while others shook their heads and expressed disappointment to the classmate of the War Throne.
In the void, Yi Lai from the War Throne choked and dared not answer.
He really didn't dare.
Although his strength was ranked in the top three among the second-year students of War Throne Affiliated Middle School, he was not qualified to make a decision when there was Wu Zhonglin, a great god who was ranked on the second-rank list of Tianjiao in his class.
However, he had to fight back when he was treated so arrogantly in public, otherwise he would not be able to accept the comments of his classmates and the contempt of his teachers.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Lai put a hand on his shoulder. This palm seemed to have magical power, which extinguished his anger and all the courage he had just raised. He showed a difficult expression and shouted:
"Wu Zhonglin."
"You are not his opponent."
The black-haired boy spoke in a gentle tone and patted Yi Lai's shoulder gently. It was amazing that his anger slowly subsided, and he heard the boy's gentle voice:
"His strength is almost catching up with me, you are not his opponent."
As soon as the voice fell, the whole audience was shocked, and almost everyone, including the little aunt, showed a shocked expression.
"Fuck, is he that strong?"
They didn't dare to believe it, but they had to believe it, because both the analogy target and the speaker were the same person, and they had no choice but to believe it.
Yi Lai was even more dumbfounded. He mumbled something in his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He still didn't believe it, but a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
Wu Zhonglin comforted his companions with a few words, turned around and walked to Lin Xiao and said:
"I didn't expect that you have grown so fast in strength after half a year. Let's have a chance to spar."
If it were someone else, they would definitely not dare to agree. Wouldn't this be asking for trouble? But Lin Xiao nodded without fear:
"Okay, I will go home after the midterm exam. Let's spar then?"
In fact, he was also looking forward to it. He had worked hard for so long, but how far was he from this real prodigy who could be ranked on the vice list of prodigies in the first year of high school.
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
The two smiled at each other and returned to their own teams. Li Xiushen was the first to come up and whispered:
"Lin Xiao, tell me honestly how much effort you put in the last duel?"
He didn't say anything, but just stretched out his five fingers and compared.
"Half?"
"Almost."
He looked suspicious and didn't seem to believe it.
He and Wu Zhonglin came forward, and the result was decided, two places for each of Huiyao and War Throne.
Just a few places, no one cares, it doesn't matter, no one makes trouble, even if all are given to one family, they won't care, but if someone cares and someone wants to fight, they have to fight, under the eyes of hundreds of millions of viewers, this is not just two places, but the face of two super schools, they must not give in.
Fortunately, the result is not bad now, there is no loss, by the way, a severe scolding of the opponent, and a little advantage.
As for the internal allocation later, Lin Xiao was not polite, directly asked for a place, and sent a message to someone.
In another corner of the void, Lin Xu and five classmates stood together and chatted in a low voice, looking from time to time at the only beautiful girl in the team with hair as crystal as jade and emitting a faint green light of life, and occasionally looked up at the chief of Dark Moon who was discussing the order and the level with representatives of more than a dozen higher education institutions.
As the saying goes, the temple is small and the demons are strong, and the pond is shallow and there are many turtles.
Without a strong enough team or strong person to stabilize the situation, each team had various ideas and fought for a leading position and status, but there was no result until now.
Lin Xu felt very bored. When everyone was about the same, there was no point in fighting for these things. It would be better to work together to enter the ruins as soon as possible. What's the point of fighting for these now?
But his words were not taken seriously. Although he had the opportunity to join the Dark Moon team to enter the Wanxiang Ruins, he was not the strongest and had no say. He could only follow the team.
While chatting, he suddenly received a message and glanced at it. The next second, he opened his mouth in shock, and a smile appeared on his face, which became more and more intense, and soon he laughed out loud.
Several companions looked over, and one of them asked:
"Lin Xu, what are you doing..."
He laughed and said:
"We don't need to fight, my nephew's team has a position, let us go."
"Your nephew? Which school is he from?"
"Huiyao!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. The beautiful girl with hair as crystal as jade and emitting a faint green light of life was also a little surprised. She asked softly:
"Is your nephew Huiyao's? Can he make the decision?"
Facing the object of his admiration, Lin Xu nodded seriously:
"Yes, he is now number one on the Huiyao Middle School's list, and he can make the decision."
"Wow, number one on the list, doesn't that mean he is the number one person in this year's Huiyao Middle School? That's quite impressive. Lin Xu, you actually have such an impressive relative, why didn't you tell me before?"
Everyone said something, and he clearly felt the change in everyone's attitude.
