Above the knights are the barons, then the viscounts, earls, marquises, and the dukes who are as powerful as the gods.
As for the great gods, or the great existences, they are called kings, or great lords.
It is worth mentioning that there is an informal level between the dukes and the great lords called the grand dukes, which is a title that can only be obtained by the powerful gods with a godhood level of 19. Although it is not a status division, it is a title recognized by all nobles.
It is said that the current head of the Holy Light Family is a grand duke, and the family has three dukes in public, which is very powerful.
The military camp style of the Council of Nobles is very different from that of the Huaxia District. The status difference is very obvious, and many traditional customs of the ancient feudal aristocracy are preserved. For example, as soon as
he got off the car, a waiter came up to greet him. He couldn't help him take off his clothes because he didn't wear a shawl coat, but he also used a soft brush to help him sweep away the non-existent dust on his body. Whether
the movements are redundant or not is one thing, but the feeling is different.
It has to be said that in terms of enjoyment and style, the Council of Nobles ranks first among the four major forces. Normal people will not reject this kind of enjoyment.
Two handsome war horses with shiny black fur pulled a carriage that looked extremely luxurious in front of him. The waiter respectfully helped him get into the carriage. There was also a petite and beautiful girl kneeling in the carriage. As soon as he sat down, she came forward to serve him.
The girl's voice was soft and pleasant. Her every move revealed that she must have undergone rigorous training and provided meticulous service.
When he got off the carriage, he had arrived at the gate of a huge manor. Several waiters saw him and immediately came up to greet him, handed out the invitation letter, and a waiter personally led him into the manor.
This should still be in the military camp. There is absolutely no such place in the military camp of the Huaxia District, but this situation is very common within the sphere of influence of the Noble Council.
The banquet has not yet begun. Three white men are chatting attentively with a beautiful blonde girl in a goose yellow dress at the door. When they saw him coming, the three men just glanced at him and retracted their gaze, obviously not recognizing him.
However, the blonde girl's eyes lit up after she looked at him. She bowed slightly to the three people, then turned to Lin Xiao and said,
"Dear Sir Lin Xiao, you can call me Aishil. Nice to meet you."
He had to stop and look back at her pretty face. He had no impression of her in his mind and was sure that he had never seen her before. He was a little confused but did not show it. He bowed seriously and said,
"Nice to meet you, Miss Aishil."
The girl looked at him with her lively big eyes, covered her mouth and smiled,
"Sir Lin Xiao may not know me, that's normal, I have also seen you in the Wanxiang ruins before."
"Wanxiang ruins?"
Lin Xiao searched his memory carefully, but still did not recognize her. "It seems that Lord
Lin Xiao has not paid attention to me. It's normal. After all, you are so brilliant, how could you notice a tiny person like me."
Lin Xiao
was speechless in his heart but bowed with a serious expression: "I'm sorry for ignoring the beautiful Miss Aisher." The blonde girl covered her mouth and laughed like a silver bell: "Then I forgive Lord Lin Xiao." "I heard that Lord Lin Xiao defeated the evil intentions of the nightmare will in the newly discovered evil nightmare world some time ago. I'm very curious, I wonder if you can..." The blonde girl had a curious look like an inexperienced girl seeing her idol, which made Lin Xiao instantly alert, but also made the three people who had been chatting with the girl just now jealous. The three looked at each other, and one of the blonde men suddenly stepped forward to interrupt Lin Xiao and said loudly: "Do you know that it is very impolite to interrupt other people's conversation?" Lin Xiao glanced at them, clasped his fists to Miss Aisher and said: "It seems that I came at the wrong time. I'll go in first." After that, without waiting for the blonde girl to keep staying, he and the waiter entered the manor. When he disappeared into the door, the blonde girl's expression immediately fell, but when she looked back at the three men, her face instantly recovered with a bright smile and said: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I really admire the heroic spirit of His Excellency Lin Xiao. I heard that he is now ranked seventh on the Tianjiao Vice List. Of course, you are also very good, Jacques, I heard..." Lin Xiao behind him didn't hear it, but no matter what, he thought it was better to get out of it early. This girl seemed delicate and sweet, but he always felt that she was a green tea and didn't want to get along with her. Beautiful music echoed in the magnificent hall. Alec was talking to a man and a woman who looked like a couple. When they saw him come in, they apologized to the two and walked towards him, extending their hands from a distance. "Mr. Lin Xiao, please follow me. My master, Mr. Uther, is chatting with his friends upstairs. He told me that if Mr. Lin Xiao arrives, he will ask you to go up immediately." There were 20 to 30 young men and women with extraordinary temperaments in the hall. The age difference was not much. Whether they were chatting or playing, they all looked over at this time. More than 30 gazes with a hint of pressure fell on him at the same time. He nodded expressionlessly: "Please lead the way!" He smiled and nodded to the young men and women in the hall. When he went up the spiral staircase to the second floor, noisy discussions suddenly rang out in the hall: "Who can go to the second floor?" "I haven't seen him, but judging from his face, he should be from the Huaxia District. I'll look for him." "I see, Lin Xiao, who is from Huiyao No. 2 Middle School and ranked seventh on the Tianjiao Vice List. Well, he doesn't have a title yet."
"So it's him. Then he is qualified to go to the second floor."
"But there are several strong men upstairs who are also ranked on the vice-list of geniuses or the peerless list. Especially those masters who are ranked at the top of the peerless list by their strength may not submit to him. They will definitely challenge him when the time comes. I don't know if there is
a chance. There is a chance. There are several people from the Ivy League. If you have the courage to challenge, they will definitely want to defeat him in public."
"Then there will be a good show to watch."
Going up to the second floor, the waiter took Lin Xiao to a luxurious room similar to a conference room. There were a total of seven extraordinary men and women talking in it. A handsome young man with dazzling golden hair stood up to greet him and said from a distance:
"Is it classmate Lin Xiao? I am Uther! Welcome."
The young man has a very peculiar temperament. People feel that what he says is very sincere, which makes people want to get close to him. Talking to people gives people a feeling like spring breeze.
Uther, who was in the same class as Senior Chu Mo, was now a freshman. He was already a demigod, ranked 33rd on the Tianjiao Main Potential List. His strength was definitely stronger than Lin Xiao's current strength, after all, he was already one level stronger than a demigod.
But he was definitely not much stronger, after all, he had just been promoted to a demigod, and he had at least a legendary great Naga lord in the tens and a mythical hero who could cross levels and kill ordinary demigods. If they really fought to the end, both sides would lose, and if they could win, it would be a miserable victory.
However, Uther himself certainly didn't know that although he respected Lin Xiao, he treated him as a senior to a junior.
Lin Xiao didn't mind too much, after all, Uther's etiquette was impeccable, and he didn't look at him with such naked malicious eyes as others.
After welcoming him, Uther introduced the others one by one, and he also got to know the identities of the other six people present, four men and two women, except Uther.
As he expected, these six people were all super elites at the same level as him, either on the Tianjiao Vice List or the Tianjiao Main List, and at the very least, they were also strong people who ranked high on the Peerless Vice List.
Although the Peerless List is one level lower than the Tianjiao List, it does not mean that they are necessarily weaker than the Tianjiao List.
You should know that the conditions for being on the Peerless List are equally harsh. Compared with the Tianjiao List, you can rely on outstanding talent and potential to be on the list. The Peerless List is purely based on actual combat ability. There are many
masters whose actual combat power is not inferior to that of the Tianjiao List players but whose potential is insufficient. Most of these powerful people with super actual combat power are very dissatisfied with their failure to be on the list. They especially look down on those who are on the list based on their potential. They are very keen to challenge the super elites on the Tianjiao Vice List.
If the Peerless List of the lower level fails to challenge the Tianjiao List, no one will say anything. Once successful, their reputation will increase greatly. It is equivalent to stepping on the Tianjiao List players to become famous without any consequences. Naturally, they are very enthusiastic. Therefore, since Lin Xiao came in, he saw two people inside who looked eager to try. It seemed that they wanted to take action as soon as the introduction was finished.
Obviously, this is the possible challenge that the class teacher said.
As expected, as soon as Uther finished the challenge, the two men stood up impatiently. The strong-looking man on the left stretched out his sturdy hand and said,
"My name is Bigsas. I'm glad to meet Mr. Lin Xiao. I want to challenge you!"
It was obvious that the other one was a little annoyed that he was a step slower.
The others all looked very interested and seemed to be very happy to see this scene.
This is also normal. Seeing is believing. They are all top elites who are extremely conceited and confident in their own strength. When facing other elites of the same level, they will definitely not recognize their strength before seeing it with their own eyes. Just like Lin Xiao, whether he met Luo Shuang or other top elites before, he was recognized only after a fight.
Lin Xiao himself was also very interested in this. It happened that his strength had skyrocketed after returning from the evil nightmare world this time. He had not officially fought with anyone yet. It was a good opportunity to see how much stronger he was now than the super elites of the same level.
He was confident that he was stronger than the elites of the same level, but he had no idea how much stronger he was.
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly in the expectant eyes of everyone, stretched out his hand to hold Bigsas's hand and shook it:
"Okay, I just want to see the strength of His Excellency Bigsas."
At this time, Uther said:
"This is within the scope of the fortress's internal network, you can communicate with the virtual battlefield challenge at any time."
He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Bigsas grinned, and a phantom like a soul soared into the sky and disappeared. The same was true for the others around him. This was because they had communicated with the virtual battlefield and projected.
"It's been a long time since I entered the virtual battlefield!"
Lin Xiao's mind moved, and a projection merged into the void and appeared again in a void. There was a metal platform under his feet, and several other people stood on a platform and looked at the two of them with interest.
In the void not far away, there were many platforms with blurry figures standing on them. They were other soldiers or college students in the fortress who were connected to the internal network.
Bigsas opened his arms and took a deep breath. He stretched out his hands and pressed his forehead and wiped it back. A canopy of flames spewed out from the top of his head and turned into several fire dragons to spread out in all directions. The pupils of the flames were shining, and the whole person's temperament changed dramatically in an instant. The voice full of the majesty of the divine creature sounded:
"Sir Lin Xiao, please!"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly. As he took a deep breath, the void behind his head quickly shrank inward. Circles of invisible twisted central magic cube phantoms slowly floated up and down. Indescribable dazzling crystal light gushed out from the gaps in the magic cube. Everyone felt and sensed that their eyes were distorted and could not look directly at the moment the magic cube appeared.
Everyone looked at each other with a trace of horror in their hearts.
Uther's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at another man who was also on the Tianjiao list not far away with great surprise. A surprised voice sounded in his ears:
"This feeling?"
Uther replied:
"Yes, his divinity level has surpassed that level. It's too unexpected."
"It seems that this student's real strength is stronger than the legend."
"I'm very interested!"
The expressions of everyone present became serious, and the eyes they looked at Lin Xiao were more approving than before.
From the perspective of the power of performance, Bigas looked more gorgeous, but to the other masters present, Lin Xiao's performance made them feel more powerful.
This abnormality is a manifestation of the strength of personal divinity. The stronger the personal divinity, the more dazzling the abnormality, and the greater the pressure on people.
In the past, when they were just in the first year of high school, most of them had no abnormalities, and only a small number of elites had a small number of abnormalities. Now in the third year of high school, any one of them can show a gorgeous abnormality that amazes the first-year juniors.
Of course, this does not mean that the more gorgeous the abnormality, the stronger it is. This is the case in most cases, but there are also a few abnormalities that seem inconspicuous but are very powerful.
For example, the abnormality of Lin Xiao showing the magic cube behind his head is not as exaggerated as Bigas, but the pressure it exerts on everyone present is stronger than Bigas.
However, this did not affect Bigas, but made him more eager to fight.
He was famous for his actual combat skills and ranked 13th on the peerless list. His divinity level was too low to be on the second list of the prodigies. He had long expected that his divinity level would not be as good as Lin Xiao's.
"So what if the divinity is strong? This is the kind of prodigy I kill!"
The experience of defeating a player on the second list of the prodigies made him eager to fight, and he said loudly:
"Your divinity is the strongest I have ever seen in the same grade. I hope your strength is also so strong."
Lin Xiao clasped his fists and bowed:
"I believe I will not let you down!"
As he said that, his figure sank into the vortex, and when he appeared again, he was in front of a huge virtual plane.
Bigsas' figure appeared out of thin air on the other side of the plane, and at the same time, beams of light fell from the dome of the virtual plane, turning into Uther and others.
The challenge plane is no different from the previous one, except that the plane area is larger than the one he has seen before.
Lin Xiao directly chose random. Now his family has no shortcomings. Whether it is a big Naga or a small Naga, they have already jumped out of the scope of fishmen. Whether it is water or not has little impact on him, and he does not need to worry about whether the enemy will choose an advantageous terrain.
But Bigsas also chose randomly. At their level, single combat is all random by default. If you choose terrain and other conditions that suit you, even if you win, it will not be recognized.
PS: I went to the mountains to worship my ancestors on May Day. I was exhausted. I barely wrote 4,000 words. I really want to ask for leave, but I asked for leave once a few days ago.
