Chapter 1203

And Hong Ling.

This girl had actually become much stronger.

"Oh, right."

"The teacher replaced her with three epic-grade pieces of equipment."

"Hmm? Why don't I see Shang Zijin and Qin Xuehou?"

Shi Kangshun, who was nearby, heard Li Yao's muttering and explained with a smile: "I don't know about Qin Xuehou, but Shang Zijin went to clear a Purgatory-level dungeon with her brother, so she gave up on this year's Newcomer Competition."

"So that's how it is," Li Yao nodded.

Thinking about it, that made sense.

The strength of these two was actually in an awkward position.

If Shang Zijin came to compete, she would likely place between 20th and 30th.

For the massive Shang family,

as long as she couldn't reach the top ten, the rewards were negligible.

It was better to go clear a Purgatory-level dungeon.

Qin Xuehou's situation was likely similar.

As for Xiao Na,

having cleared so many dungeons with him, her level should be sufficient.

But if Xiao Na were to compete,

not to mention that she was only an A-tier practitioner,

just based on her actual combat ability, even if she were SS-tier, it would be hard to say if she could even pass the preliminary round!

"Speaking of which, after the Newcomer Competition ends, Xiao Na and Xue Jiuling should be returning from their studies, right?"

Li Yao actually hadn't figured out yet

how he was going to persuade the two of them to give up exploring the Abyss.

The competition began.

"Li Yao, this practitioner seems to be a Beast Tamer, right? Perhaps they have some similarities with your Summoner class."

Li Yao was also happy to chat with this old man.

The other party spoke in a slow, measured way, giving one a very relaxed feeling.

Li Yao felt he had been handled.

There is a saying:

'When a conversation with someone is very comfortable, it means they might be a level higher than you.'

While chatting, Lin Lao suddenly said nonchalantly:

"By the way, have you looked at the Abyss Bestiary recently?" ===== CHAPTER 1205 =====
