Chapter 496

Zuo Zuo Shuning's face sank instantly, but she quickly adjusted her emotions.

She could accept apologizing to Li Yao,

but

thinking about having to apologize to that wild professional in cheap equipment,

a sense of unparalleled humiliation enveloped her.

But the current situation wouldn't allow her to refuse.

"Fine, where is he?"

"There."

Zuo Zuo Shuning looked in the direction of Li Yao's gaze.

With the help of several military professionals, the crowd cleared a path.

Everyone's gaze focused on a young man wearing tattered equipment with obvious injuries on his face.

Because the crowd dispersed, Kong Kong Jiamu noticed Li Yao on the high platform immediately.

His eyes were filled with surprise: "Big boss?!"

The next second,

he realized something was wrong.

Why was the big boss standing on the high platform?

That shouldn't be where Some Jingyu students stand, right?

That senior behind the big boss, I seem to have seen him on the Some Jingyu forum.

Seems to be the Dean of the Punishment Academy!?

Kong Kong Jiamu's pupils shrank.

Even if he was slow-witted, he vaguely sensed at this moment what the big boss's identity was.

Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, the following is even more exciting!

Zuo Zuo Shuning's voice rang out:

"Kong Kong Jiamu, I apologize to you on behalf of the Magic City Martial Academy, please forgive me."

Hearing someone call his name, Kong Kong Jiamu finally came back to his senses.

Noticing the three professionals behind the girl who spoke,

Kong Kong Jiamu knew what had happened.

The big boss was helping him vent his anger?

He was a bit flattered for a moment.

How did he deserve this?

He looked up at the big boss again.

Standing on the high platform like stars surrounding the moon, an aura of invincibility made people look up from the bottom of their hearts.

Big boss,

is he Li Yao?

"Hey, speak!"

"Didn't you see Goddess Zuo asking you?"

"What a waste of time."

Sounds of dissatisfaction came from beside him.

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore, bullying Goddess Zuo like this!"

As the third princess of the Zuo family,

with a beautiful face and strong strength, she naturally didn't lack admirers at the Magic City Martial Academy.

A professional in gorgeous clothes rushed directly onto the platform.

Looking at Li Yao on the high platform, he said loudly:

"Hey! You on the platform, I challenge you!"

"No matter what happened, as long as I win, it's all wiped clean, and you don't make things difficult for Zuo Shuning, how about that?!"

That person held a long sword, pointing directly at Li Yao on the high platform.

The surrounding people burst into cheers.

"Holy crap! Cool!"

"Really got guts, if I had the strength, I would have gone up too!"

"I've long been unable to stand this guy bullying a girl like this!"

*Bang!

The person hadn't arrived, but the sound did.

A red light flashed by.

*Boom!

The figure who was just high-spirited was blasted into a distant building by a silver mace, leaving a human-shaped hole.

*Clang! Ji Nie Yuan planted the mace on the ground and cursed:

"Damn it, I still wanted to have a good fight with that guy Zhang Zhang Yucheng!"

"Don't make me unable to participate in the Newcomer Competition!"

He looked up at the figure on the high platform.

"Chief General, I will pay for the building. This guy is just impulsive; he doesn't represent our Magic City Martial Academy!"

Hearing this,

the surrounding crowd realized something was wrong.

Chief General?

Wait!!

That person is Li Yao!?

Li Yao?

The one who has been making a huge stir recently,

first place in the contention battle,

crushing a group of Indian professionals in the Life-Force Pool dungeon,

punching through a magic insect queen with his own strength,

and killing a demigod to take first place in the border trial, Li Yao?

In an instant, the entire scene boiled over.

"Holy crap! So Li Yao looks like this?"

"Why the mosaic? I always thought our Chief General was too ugly to be seen!"

"Li Yao! I'm your fan!"

"Standing in front of so many big shots, I thought he was some heaven-defying young master. It's Li Yao! Then it's fine!"

"Li Yao, I want to have your children!"

"Li Yao, I'm your idol! Pfft! You're my fan!"

The entire scene was like a fanatical star-chasing event.

Regardless of age or gender, everyone was fanatical!

As for the challenger who was blasted away by Ji Nie Yuan, he had long been forgotten by everyone!

"By the way, since she was asked to apologize by Li Yao, this girl must have made some irreparable mistake, right?"

"That's right, if you're wrong, you have to admit it!"

"Who is she putting on that pitiful look for?"

"Don't say! I was almost fooled by this little girl!"

"Look at this boy named Kong Kong Jiamu, how pitiful he is, his face is full of wounds. I guess this girl was bullying people with power!"

"That's right! Apologize quickly!"

The tone changed sharply, and the group of people who were just helping Zuo Zuo Shuning speak instantly pointed their spears at Zuo Zuo Shuning.

Zuo Zuo Shuning had never seen such a scene.

Her head was buzzing.

It wasn't until the professional behind her pulled her that she managed to pull herself together.

This kind of scene,

Li Yao was also a bit shocked.

He never expected that he would be so popular.

He didn't want to waste time either, and said loudly:

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

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

"Thank you, big boss!"

"It's fine," Li Yao shook his head, feeling a bit of 'hate that iron doesn't become steel.'

The three professionals standing behind Zuo Zuo Shuning

were all A-level professionals!

There was no need for Hong Ling to step in at all.

Kong 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 Newcomer Competition, you are a Some Jingyu student. If anything happens, Some Jingyu stands behind you!"

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

"Yes!"

Kong Kong Jiamu nodded heavily.

His eyes were red.

He knew very well that the 'situation' the big boss mentioned

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

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

Now he is a Some Jingyu student!

He is no longer a 'wild professional' without an academy!

No one can bully him at will!

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

A hoarse voice sounded from behind.

"It seems that student Li Yao thinks highly of this one."

Li Yao turned his head. The people behind him had been introduced to him by his teacher before.

It could be said that they were all people who sat on equal footing with his teacher at Some Jingyu.

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

He was a bit old, estimated to be over sixty.

A top-tier sixth-rank professional, not much weaker than his teacher.

Li Yao said respectfully:

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

Being able to wear a set of tattered 'disposable' equipment and kill his way to level 39 in a dungeon all by himself!

Kong Kong Jiamu might not even know it himself,

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

One could see his talent!

Even if he was only an S-level professional, his upper limit wouldn't be weaker than an average SS-level.

If his family background were better, he might be another figure of Ji Nie Yuan and Zhang Zhang Yucheng's caliber.

Li Yao deliberately added:

"This guy was just recruited by my teacher from outside. Before today, he hadn't studied in the academy system. There might be some things he doesn't understand. I'll trouble you seniors to be more patient."

"Oh?"

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

With such cheap equipment, he could reach the requirements for the Newcomer Competition.

And Li Yao mentioned it like this.

This kid didn't even have the backing of an academy?

His gold content had increased by another notch!

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

Seeing Dean Shi's gaze flickering,

Li Yao knew his goal had been achieved.

At this time,

several top-tier professionals descended from the sky and took their seats in the best spectator area next to the platform.

The scene was still full of passion.

Li Yao raised his hand.

Everyone at the scene knew Li Yao was going to speak,

so they immediately quieted down.

Shi Shi Kangshun couldn't help but click his tongue as he watched this scene.

This prestige was not simple.

"Since everyone is here, the Newcomer 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 newcomer professionals nationwide who have reached level 40. The first round is divided into four groups, with 109 people in each group, fighting on the four platforms respectively!"

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

"Each platform only has ten spots. The lottery begins 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 not dragging things out! It's refreshing!

In an instant, the big screen began to spin rapidly.

It stopped after a few breaths.

Li Yao had a tablet in his hand

that could share with the big screen below.

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

"In the other three groups, any group could easily get into the top ten to advance to the next round."

"But in the second group he is in, Ji Nie Yuan and Kujo Mise are both there, along with several SS-level noble professionals whose aura is not weak."

"The competition for the top ten is going to be very fierce!"
