Chapter 355

Possessing scouting abilities, and it's an SSS-grade skill.

Li Yao barely had to consider it.

The new summon slot opening at Level 30,

it had to be this one!

The monsters Li Yao killed on this trip were all high-level monsters between Level 30 and 40; he currently had no way to equip the loot he had obtained.

Therefore,

his primary goal now was to do everything in his power to break through the Level 30 barrier.

His combat power would certainly undergo a heaven-shaking change.

It's just that he didn't know

after reaching Level 30, would he have a chance of winning against those so-called True Name-grade monsters?

After counting the loot, Li Yao boarded the Dark-Wing Black Dragon and flew toward Sangyu City through the secret realm passage.

In less than ten minutes, he arrived in front of a giant teleportation array.

He stepped in, and the array activated.

After a bout of dizziness, Li Yao appeared inside the Shuyuan Martial Arts School.

Beside the array, only the Mayor of Sangyu City was waiting there.

Seeing Li Yao come out, Meng Meng Yanghai laughed loudly: "Yo, the top scholar is out?"

Li Yao bowed slightly and then asked, "Mayor, what is the meaning of this?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Meng Meng Yanghai patted Li Yao's shoulder hard. "You kid have really brought honor to our Sangyu City! A national top scholar! After so many years, Sangyu has finally produced another national top scholar!"

"I knew you could do it, hahaha!"

Seeing Li Yao still looking bewildered, Meng Meng Yanghai smiled and explained: "When you entered the secret realm passage, Xue Xue Jiulan announced the news that you were the top scholar!"

"Don't worry, Xue Xue Jiulan knows your temperament; currently, only the high-level officials of the Dragon Kingdom know this news."

"As for that live broadcast, the world only knows that the Dragon Kingdom's strongest prodigy is named Li Yao. As for your appearance, the Federation urgently blurred it afterward. Unless you're a close acquaintance, they won't recognize you, kid!"

"Live broadcast?"

"You didn't know?" Meng Meng Yanghai was puzzled.

Meng Meng Yanghai told Li Yao everything that had happened outside during the battle for the top spot.

"So, Mayor, you mean that class holders across the country could see me fighting that Ke'eryin?"

Three black lines appeared on Li Yao's forehead.

Those high-level Federation officials really kept up with the times; they even knew about something as youthful as live streaming.

"It's a shame to say, but Mr. Qian and the others only made the broadcast public when they saw you and Zhang Zhang Yucheng and the others gaining the upper hand, hoping to stir up the fighting spirit of young class holders across the country."

"I didn't expect that monster larva could evolve, and I didn't expect that the Named-grade monster was just a sacrificial offering brought out by the Titan race."

"If you hadn't stepped up, this broadcast might have become a huge joke!"

"Top prodigies from all over the country would have all sacrificed themselves during the broadcast."

"One can imagine what kind of turmoil that would have caused!"

"You flatter me, senior." Li Yao's expression remained calm as he said faintly, "Even without me, General Xue and the others would have sent reinforcements."

"Haha, you kid." Meng Meng Yanghai laughed. "Forget it, anyway, the rewards you deserve won't be shorted by those above, so I won't say any more."

Having said this, Meng Meng Yanghai seemed to think of something and changed the subject: "Xue Xue Jiulan has already told me about what happened in the secret realm passage. This matter is my fault; I didn't think it through."

"Now that the matter has passed, the Yan family and the others probably won't be able to jump around for many more days."

"So if there's anything you want, just tell me; consider it my compensation."

"This junior believes that the Mayor should go discuss it with General Xue."

Li Yao said calmly.

Senior Xue paid the remuneration to invite Mayor Meng Meng Yanghai to protect him personally.

Regardless of how the other party performed, it should be handled by Senior Xue.

He wasn't qualified to say things like "it's fine."

Seeing Meng Meng Yanghai about to speak again, Li Yao quickly said: "Mayor, if there's nothing urgent, I still need to return to Jiangzhou. I'm worried my family will be concerned about the live broadcast."

Meng Meng Yanghai also knew Li Yao was eager to return home. "In any case, rest assured, that live broadcast didn't actually expose your identity. As long as you don't want people to know, you can just come up with a name."

"Understood."

Li Yao nodded.

But,

why would he need to come up with a new name?

If the title of the number one prodigy could save him some trouble,

why not take it?

Li Yao didn't have the perverse hobby of playing the pig to eat the tiger just yet.
