Chapter 130

"Qin Qin Xuejun's younger sister?"

"How come I've never heard of her?" Li Yao asked, puzzled.

That guy Qin Qin Xuehou was just like someone with nothing better to do.

No matter where he went, he could always see the other party.

Yet he had never heard that the other party had a younger sister who was an SSS-rank professional.

"That's because as soon as Qin Qin Xuejun changed her class, she was protected by the joint efforts of the Federation's top brass and the Qin family."

Shang Shang Zijin clicked her tongue and said enviously, "She's been raised like a treasure since she was little; I only found out about it recently, too."

"I also heard," Shang Shang Zijin looked toward Qin Qin Xuehou's side and said with a dark, mischievous smile, "that the relationship between the Qin siblings isn't very good. It seems that because that girl Qin Qin Xuejun was protected too well, her personality has some flaws."

Shang Shang Yana wrinkled her delicate nose and tugged at Shang Shang Zijin's sleeve: "Why are you still bad-mouthing people behind their backs!"

Shang Shang Zijin turned back and pinched Shang Shang Yana's nose, "You little green tea, what kind of bad-mouthing is this? This is common knowledge."

"That girl had only been back at the Qin family for a few days before she turned the place upside down. Even Qin Qin Xuehou couldn't stand her temper, which is why he left Linbei and is wandering around everywhere."

Li Yao ignored the two sisters' idle chatter and suddenly looked into the distance.

"Something is coming."

"It's the people from the various martial arts academies," Shang Shang Zijin said, looking in the direction Li Yao was watching.

It was also at this moment.

A roar of engines came from the distance.

On the edge of the horizon, dozens of small flying ships of various types appeared, and in the blink of an eye, they docked on the deck of the flying ship where Li Yao was currently located.

Immediately afterward, numerous professionals dressed in various outfits disembarked from the flying ships.

Li Yao could sense that the pressure this group of people brought him far exceeded that of the level 45 monster from just a moment ago; they were all at least Fourth-Turn professionals.

After this group of professionals disembarked from the flying ships,

most of them had acquaintances among the examinees on-site and quickly began chatting with them.

Being able to participate in the Top Ten Battle, looking across the entire country, they were all among the top batch of examinees.

Just like how Xue Xue Jiulan had mentioned looking for Li Yao,

these mentors responsible for recruitment from the various martial arts academies had also met with their preferred examinees in advance.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked toward Li Yao.

"This must be young friend Li Yao, right?" He walked up to Li Yao and said politely.

Li Yao looked at him with confusion.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Chu Chu Jiquan, the recruitment officer for Saint Forest Academy."

"Young friend Li Yao, you shouldn't have a preferred academy yet, right?"

"Our Saint Forest Academy would be very happy to have you. As long as you come to our academy, we can provide you with a minimum of 30,000 points in subsidy funds every year, and you can choose any mentor you like from the academy. Whichever one you take a liking to, you can directly become their apprentice."

Chu Chu Jiquan said with great confidence.

With such benefits, plus the reputation of Saint Forest Academy, he believed no professional could refuse.

This could be seen from the expressions on the faces of Shang Shang Zijin and Shang Shang Yana.

Shang Shang Zijin's target academy was Saint Forest Academy.

But even though she was an SS-rank professional, she could only enjoy the first benefit Chu Chu Jiquan had proposed.

To choose a mentor, she would still need to pass the mentor's approval.

Shang Shang Zijin even wanted to accept on Li Yao's behalf at this moment, but once she thought of Li Yao's relationship with General Xue, she stopped herself abruptly.

"Sorry, I already have a preferred academy."

Li Yao said indifferently.

Since he had already promised Senior Xue, no matter how generous the conditions the other party proposed, it had nothing to do with him.

Besides, this condition only allowed him to choose freely among the mentors; it didn't say he could choose a dean-level figure.

Even if he could choose a dean-level figure, he figured they wouldn't be as powerful as Senior Xue.

After all,

there were so many dean-level figures across the four major martial arts academies, but there were only four Nation-Protecting Generals.

"Having a preferred academy doesn't mean you can't change your mind," Chu Chu Jiquan said, continuing to persuade him, feeling both incredulous and unwilling that Li Yao would refuse:

"Looking at the four major martial arts academies, the benefits we at Saint Forest offer are absolutely one of a kind!"

"Sorry," Li Yao didn't want to waste any more breath on the other party, "I've already talked with the people from Some Jingyu Martial Arts Academy. If you really want me to join your academy, go find their people."

"Talked with whom? I'll go ask."

Chu Chu Jiquan was curious; could someone have moved faster than their Saint Forest Academy?

Li Yao pointed behind Chu Chu Jiquan.

Just as the heads of the various martial arts academies arrived, Xue Xue Jiulan appeared on the deck once again.

Just as she was about to announce the rules for the battle, she saw Li Yao pointing at her.

This kid doesn't want to live anymore, does he?

Then she saw Chu Chu Jiquan next to Li Yao and immediately understood what had happened.

She immediately glared fiercely at Chu Chu Jiquan and mouthed, "This kid is someone I've set my sights on, you Saint Forest people can go stay wherever it's cool!"

After speaking, Xue Xue Jiulan gave Li Yao a thumbs up.

You kid are not bad, standing your ground!

That's it, keep it up!

Chu Chu Jiquan was startled by Xue Xue Jiulan's gaze and said cautiously, "The person you mentioned is General Xue?"

Li Yao nodded.

"Excuse me."

After saying that, Chu Chu Jiquan left the place without looking back.

About a few minutes later,

Xue Xue Jiulan stood at the very front and coughed twice.

The heads of the various martial arts academies noticed Xue Xue Jiulan, so they bid farewell to the examinees they had their eyes on and walked toward the interior of the flying ship.

On the way,

Chu Chu Jiquan walked to the side of an elderly man who was over half a century old but quite dignified.

"Elder, Li Yao refused."

"Refused? Didn't you tell him about the benefits we at Saint Forest promised?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

"We were one step too slow; he had already talked with the people from Some Jingyu."

"Xue Xue Jiulan?"

Chu Chu Jiquan nodded silently.

The old man snorted coldly, his cloudy eyes narrowing slightly.

Saint Forest Academy had set their sights on seven people this trip; the other six all agreed to enter Saint Forest Martial Academy, yet the Summoner he thought would be the easiest to handle had refused Saint Forest Academy.

Since that's the case, then don't even think about touching the top spot this year, Li Yao.

A flash of eagerness crossed the old man's eyes.

That item can only belong to a professional from my Saint Forest Academy!

The old man said coldly: "Everything that needed to be explained has been explained, right?"

"Yes."

"I have secretly given the guidance talismans to five of them. They will be able to rendezvous shortly after they go down. If they group up, even if they encounter professionals like Zhang Zhang Yucheng, they won't be defeated. There should be a spot for them in the top ten."

The old man said with dissatisfaction: "What about the other one?"

Chu Chu Jiquan quickly explained: "Shang Shang Zijin's relationship with Li Yao seems quite good, so I was worried it wouldn't be appropriate to give it to her."

"Elder, actually I think Li Yao doesn't need our attention. These examinees have already discussed prioritizing his elimination. What we really need to pay attention to are those few."

"Perhaps we won't even need to take action; Li Yao might be eliminated as soon as he goes down!"

The old man nodded: "In any case, let them rendezvous first."

"The Top Ten Battle has never been a competition of fighting alone."

As the professionals from the various martial arts academies entered the cabin, the examinees on-site also quieted down all at once.

The examinees all showed faint signs of excitement as they saw General Xue appear.

The Top Ten Battle.
