Chapter 1193

Zuo Shuning had never seen such a scene.

Her head was buzzing.

It was only when the practitioner behind her pulled her that she managed to pull herself together.

Such a scene—

Li Yao was also a bit startled.

He never expected that he would be so popular.

Not wanting to waste time, he said loudly:

"Kong Jiamu, don't just stand there."

"Ah?" Kong Jiamu heard his name and hurriedly said, "Sorry, I was a bit distracted. I'm fine, the matter is over."

"Thank you, Big Boss!"

"It's nothing." Li Yao shook his head, feeling a bit of "hate that iron doesn't become steel."

The three practitioners standing behind Zuo Shuning

were all A-tier professionals!

There was absolutely no need for Hong Ling to help.

Kong Jiamu could have solved them by himself.

In the final analysis, he was just too afraid of being bullied!

"Did you forget what your Senior Xue told you?"

"Participating in the Freshman Competition, you are a Jingyu student. Whatever happens, Jingyu stands behind you!"

"Next time you encounter this situation, if you still have wounds on your face, don't be a practitioner anymore!"

"Yes!"

Kong Jiamu nodded heavily,

his eyes turning red.

He knew very well that the "this situation" the Big Boss spoke of

was not just being beaten by Magic Martial Academy practitioners this time,

but also being kicked out of the team in the 【Evil Land】 dungeon.

Now he was a Jingyu student!

No longer a "wild practitioner" without an academy!

No one could bully him at will!

"Alright, return to the team," Li Yao said indifferently.

A hoarse voice sounded from behind:

"It seems Student Li Yao thinks highly of this one."

Li Yao turned back; the few people behind him had been introduced to him by his teacher before.

It could be said that they were all figures in Jingyu who sat on equal footing with his teacher.

The person who spoke was the Dean of the Penalty Academy, Shi Kangshun,

who was somewhat aged, estimated to be over sixty.

A top Tier Six practitioner, not much weaker than his teacher.

Li Yao said respectfully:

"Dean Shi, this junior does indeed think highly of him."

Being able to kill his way to level 39 in a dungeon all by himself while wearing tattered "disposable" equipment!

Kong Jiamu might not even know it himself,

but his spellcasting technique, without anyone teaching him, had already reached at least the master level!

One could see his talent!

Even if he were only an S-tier professional, his upper limit would not be weaker than an average SS-tier.

If his family background were better, he might have been another figure of Ji Yuan or Zhang Yucheng's caliber.

Li Yao deliberately added:

"This guy was just recruited from outside by my teacher. Before today, he hadn't learned in the academy system, so there might be some things he doesn't understand. I trouble you seniors to give him more patience."

"Oh?"

Shi Kangshun had taught for so many years and could naturally see Kong Jiamu's extraordinariness.

To reach the Freshman Competition participation requirement with such cheap equipment—

and Li Yao mentioned him like this?

This kid didn't even have academy support?

His gold content had just increased by another notch!

Shi Kangshun himself was a magic-type practitioner, and he already had the intention to take him as a disciple.

Seeing the Dean's gaze shifting,

Li Yao knew his goal had been achieved.

At this time,

several top practitioners descended from the sky and took their seats in the best viewing area next to the platform.

The scene was still passionate.

Li Yao raised his hand,

and everyone at the scene knew Li Yao was going to speak,

so they immediately quieted down.

Shi Kangshun looked at this scene and couldn't help but click his tongue.

This prestige was not simple.

"Since everyone is here, the Freshman Competition begins now," Li Yao's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

A huge electronic screen appeared in the lower area of the high platform.

"There are 436 new practitioners nationwide who have reached level 40. The first round is divided into four groups, 109 people in each group, fighting on the four platforms respectively!"

"Those who 'survive' to the end advance to the next round."

"Each platform only has ten spots. The draw starts now!"

A question popped up in everyone's mind:

It really just started?

No pre-match entertainment program?

Leader speeches?

Good heavens!

Having a young person host is different; it's just not dragging things out! It's just refreshing!

In an instant, the big screen spun rapidly.

After a few breaths, it stopped.

436 practitioners appeared on four separate lists.

Li Yao had a tablet in his hand

that could share with the big screen below.

"Kong Jiamu's luck is not very good."

"Any of the other three groups could easily take the top ten to advance to the next round."

"Only in the second group he's in, Ji Yuan and Jiutiao Meise are both there, along with several SS-tier noble practitioners with strong auras."

"The competition for the top ten is very fierce!" ===== CHAPTER 1195 =====
