Chapter 253

"Go ahead."

"I actually have a presumptuous request."

Xue Xue Jiulan's eyes lit up.

She snatched a bag of melon seeds from Xue Xue Jiuling's hand,

sat on the ground, and started watching the show.

Here it comes, here it comes!

The good show is here!

"I have a presumptuous request!"

Hong Ling was dressed in a black night-walking suit, her slender figure showing well-proportioned muscle lines.

She stood in the middle of the crowd, standing out with just a glance.

Her exquisite face was filled with the high spirits of youth!

She scanned the freshmen around her, and then, her sharp gaze pointed straight at Li Yao.

"Everyone says Li Yao is the number one genius."

"I think a large part of us freshmen have never seen Li Yao make a move."

"Why don't we let Li Yao show me before the next batch goes in?"

"How does the Dragon Country's number one genius kill enemies?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the scene fell silent.

Some freshmen looked at Hong Ling eagerly.

Youthful passion, everyone is a genius!

If you're not convinced, you're not convinced; they all took Hong Ling as an example!

Challenging the number one genius, just thinking about it made their blood boil!

There were also some freshmen who didn't think highly of Hong Ling.

They had watched those two livestreams.

The title of number one genius wasn't just blown out of proportion!

It was Li Yao fighting one against a thousand, slashing his way through with sword after sword!

The combat power Hong Ling displayed was still a big gap away from Li Yao's!

Although opinions differed, without exception,

everyone present, including the academy mentors and leaders,

turned their heads to look at Li Yao.

Seeing this scene,

Li Yao covered his head and muttered in a low voice: "I knew it."

"Ahem!" That mentor stood out at the right time and coughed twice.

"Classmate Hong Ling, this trial has no hard requirements. Whether Li Yao is willing or not depends on himself; we have no right to demand it of him."

"Oh?" Hong Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Yao, "Then, would this national top scholar, the Dragon Country's number one genius, be willing to show this young lady?"

There were quite a few freshmen who wanted to see what kind of strength the national top scholar, who was blown up to be god-like, actually had.

Now that someone had taken the lead, they all followed suit and jeered:

"Yeah, show us!"

"You've been sitting up there for so long, you must be tired of sitting. Why not stretch your muscles!"

"Number one in the Dragon Country, since you hold this title, you must face challenges. Big shot Hong Ling has already said so, you can't just endure it, right?"

"I suggest you don't make a move, lest your score be lower than Hong Ling's, and your title as number one in the Dragon Country won't be guaranteed!"

Listening to the voices around him,

Hong Ling also chuckled.

She actually had some ulterior motives in doing this.

She was arrogant, but not stupid at all!

Li Yao could be recognized by so many people,

and even those top-tier geniuses who were on par with her valued Li Yao highly.

This meant

Li Yao couldn't be someone who didn't live up to his reputation!

This was why

so many mentors knew she was going to challenge Li Yao,

yet she waited until now, after getting full marks in martial arts, to make things difficult for Li Yao.

Anyway, she had already gotten full marks.

Even if Li Yao got full marks, he wouldn't be higher than her!

If it got out,

everyone would say that she, Hong Ling, was not weaker than Li Yao!

The key is

she had personally experienced the difficulty of getting full marks on Hongwu Mountain.

What if,

what if Li Yao didn't perform well and didn't get full marks?

Then, sorry,

you, Li Yao, are just not as good as me, Hong Ling!

It can be said

that this is an open conspiracy.

Li Yao is in a high position, and she is the challenger.

By setting this trap, Li Yao is destined to fail!

Hong Ling had a confident smile on her face, staring at Li Yao playfully.

I want to see

how you are going to deal with this!

She was originally a top-tier martial arts genius; when she was an A-rank professional, she had already achieved advanced weapon skills.

Now she has the SS-rank job Hunter.

She asks herself,

she is not weaker than anyone of the same age!

Even Li Yao shouldn't think about stepping on her head!

"Sister Shang Zijin, do you think Young Master Li will agree?" Qin Qin Yue leaned over to Shang Shang Zijin and asked with a frown.

"Hard to say," Shang Shang Zijin shook her head gently.

"Hmph," Qin Qin Yue snorted with dissatisfaction, "I don't like that Hong Ling!"

"Isn't she forcing Young Master Li by doing this?"

"Yeah, she is forcing Li Yao," Shang Shang Zijin nodded, saying indifferently.

After a few breaths,

Shang Shang Zijin turned her head and saw that Qin Qin Yue still had a sulky expression.

She couldn't help but pat Qin Qin Yue's head and comfort her with a smile: "Don't worry, that Young Master Li of yours is far from as simple as you imagine."

On the other side,

"Dean, will Hong Ling's actions have any impact on Li Yao?"

Xue Xue Jiuling asked with concern.

She had already guessed Hong Ling's thoughts.

No matter how you look at the current situation, it's unfavorable for Li Yao!

"Impact? What impact could there be?"

Xue Xue Jiulan showed the same expression as Shang Shang Zijin, continuing to eat melon seeds indifferently.

"That girl Hong Ling is a bit wishful thinking."

"In the professional world, strength is respected."

"In the face of absolute strength, any cleverness is useless."

"She set this trap, thinking she had Li Yao cornered."

Xue Xue Jiulan shook her head, feeling that this good show wasn't as interesting as she had imagined.

It didn't bring any pressure to that kid Li Yao at all!

"In reality, the one who is cornered is herself."

"If Li Yao doesn't go in, no one will say anything about him. There are so many people who have watched the livestream, someone will naturally speak up for him."

"And once Li Yao goes in,"

"everyone will see the gap between Hong Ling and a truly top-tier genius."

"All her previous performances and all her glory will vanish into thin air, and she will become just like everyone else!"

"Because,"

"all the freshmen in the entire Dragon Country this year actually only fall into two categories."

"Li Yao in one category,"

"everyone else in the other."

Just then,

a deep voice sounded from afar.

"Li Yao, I remember your contribution is still two thousand three hundred away from the deputy team leader level, right?"

"Is this guy here to join the fun too?"

Xue Xue Jiulan remained sitting on the ground, muttering.

And when those mentors heard this voice,

they immediately sat up straight, and the whispering decreased significantly.

"Vice Dean of the Penalty Academy, Cang Cang Wuqi, why is he here?"

Some Jingyu has three major academies:

War Academy, Spirit Communication Academy, Penalty Academy.

Among them, the War Academy has Xue Xue Jiulan, with the strongest top-tier strength.

But because Xue Xue Jiulan works part-time as a Great General of the Nation, she is not in Some Jingyu most of the time.

In terms of comprehensive strength,

the Penalty Academy is the best in Some Jingyu!

Cang Cang Wuqi is the existence in the Penalty Academy who is under one person and above ten thousand.

A top-tier six-turn professional!

Li Yao looked at this white-haired middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared.

He didn't know who the other party was,

but still nodded gently, which was considered humble toward a senior.

The white-haired middle-aged man Cang Cang Wuqi grinned.

"Now I am issuing a contribution mission that only you, Li Yao, can accept."

"The contribution is two thousand three hundred."

"How about it?"

"Do you dare to accept it?"

Li Yao looked at him, neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly:

"Senior, tell me about it."

"I'll see if I want to accept it."

"Hiss!"

The surrounding mentors gasped.

This was the first time someone had dared to speak to Cang Cang Wuqi like this!

Cang Cang Wuqi looked at Li Yao and found him more and more pleasing to the eye.

He glanced at Xue Xue Jiulan next to him,

his eyes filled with regret.

I really want to snatch him over to be my student!

Unfortunately, I can't beat her.

"The mission is:"

"Go to Hongwu Mountain alone, and kill all the monsters within half an incense stick of time."

"If you fail, two thousand of your contributions will be deducted."
