Chapter 261: Wan Ming, Xia Lian, Pei Jiu (Seeking Monthly Votes)

At the villa entrance, three figures walked in slowly.

Each of them wore a special long robe of a different color.

Jiang Tao leaned to Lin Qi's side and said: "Lin Lin Qi Ge, I just heard Guo Heng say that every Ten Academies genius's school uniform is specially customized, and one piece starts at 100,000 Xia Nation coins."

Lin Qi shook his head. Truly luxurious. The school uniform he wore only cost nearly a few hundred yuan.

Soon, his gaze locked onto one of the three. This person was burly, had a simple and honest round face, and wore a special red school uniform.

He was Han Zhen, who lost to him in the final of the National Freshman Competition, and also the bottom-ranked genius among the Ten Academies.

He came with a man and a woman, chatting with Wan Ming while carrying gifts.

Han Zhen saw the others inside and asked curiously: "Old Wan, who are these people?"

Wan Ming explained: "They are all fellow villagers from Cang Province that I invited. It's more lively with more people."

Then Han Zhen saw a familiar figure, and his face stiffened instantly.

"Lin Qi!"

The beautiful girl next to him saw Lin Qi, her eyes lit up, and she smiled instantly, walking up to greet him:

"Hello!"

"Lin Qi, I watched your battle with Han Zhen. You are very impressive. You practiced a minor divine ability without awakening a special ability."

Lin Qi looked at the girl in front of him, who had a pair of phoenix eyes, delicate features, and a petite figure.

She wore a green special long robe, and her whole body exuded a vigorous life aura.

Another genius from the Ten Academies!

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Xia Lian!"

Xia Lian smiled and reached out her fair little hand.

After shaking hands with her, Lin Qi smiled at Han and said: "Han Zhen, we meet again!"

Han Zhen gave a dry laugh: "Yeah, what a coincidence!"

At this time, the last boy also walked over. Han Zhen and the girl automatically stepped aside.

He had soft features, a tall and slender figure, superior proportions, and wore a cyan long robe, but had a majestic air.

His eyes were bright, and he smiled and said: "Lin Qi, I have long wanted to meet you."

"Let me introduce myself, Tenth Academy, Pei Jiu, from the Imperial Capital."

After speaking, he reached out his hand sincerely.

Lin Qi had to admit that this Pei Jiu had an extraordinary air and was very easy to make people feel good about.

And their Ten Academies geniuses had a very good attitude, and there was no situation of being higher than others.

The most critical thing was that the other party exuded a rich mental fluctuation, which was a large margin stronger than Shen Zhenzhen, the Ten Academies genius he saw last time.

"Hello!"

Lin Qi reached out and shook hands with him.

In a short moment, he had already met four geniuses from the Ten Academies.

Next, Pei Jiu walked toward others to shake hands separately, and his attitude was so good that the people from the Vault of Heaven Sixth Academy were flattered.

After greeting, everyone continued to chat and eat.

At this time, Han Zhen walked to Lin Qi's side, pretended to pick up the black chocolate on the plate next to him, and said in a low voice:

"Lin Qi, don't think it's over just because you defeated me in the National Freshman Competition."

"If we fight again now, you definitely won't win." After speaking, he chewed the chocolate hard and walked toward the distance.

Lin Qi shook his head, and Jiang Tao leaned over again at this time. He looked at Pei Jiu not far away and said in a low voice:

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, I just heard Guo Heng say that Pei Jiu is actually the second-ranked genius in the Ten Academies. Besides the SS-level genius, he is the strongest existence."

"Pei Jiu, from the Imperial Capital, it is said that he is ranked ninth in the family, so he is called Pei Jiu."

"His mother is truly amazing, giving birth to nine children. He was ordinary since childhood, and his talent was not as good as his eight older brothers and sisters."

"But I didn't expect him to awaken a special ability—Mental Reader—in his third year of high school, rising up in one day and surpassing countless geniuses."

"After entering Vault of Heaven Martial University, he is also the strongest master besides the SS-level genius."

"I didn't expect the attitude to be so good!"

Lin Qi was also quite surprised. Pei Jiu's strength was so strong.

He asked Dean Liu yesterday and knew a lot of information. The Ten Academies geniuses also had competition and rankings internally. Simply put, there were the God-Refining Tower and Disaster Beast Trial Tower rankings.

There were also their own internal competitions. Like the other nine major academies, they also needed to participate in the Disaster Beast Hunting Competition and individual competitions.

Finally, a comprehensive ranking was made based on the two competitions, and Han Zhen was the well-known bottom one.

And Wan Ming, who held the birthday banquet now, was ranked in the middle, which was the sixth existence.

Now he knew another one, Pei Jiu, who was ranked second.

"Wan Ming, happy birthday!"

Next, several Ten Academies geniuses arrived one after another to send blessings, but they just put down their gifts and turned away.

Lin Qi keenly noticed that they chose to leave directly after seeing them and other people from the Vault of Heaven Sixth Academy.

This point made Wan Ming, the host of the birthday, quite embarrassed.

"Student Lin Qi, we meet again!"

A familiar face appeared in Lin Qi's sight, Shen Zhenzhen, a genius who awakened a special ability, with delicate features and a cold temperament.

!

"Hello!" Lin Qi responded with a smile.

"Lin Qi, you are really amazing to be able to comprehend a minor divine ability. Can you tell me how you did it?"

Lin Qi shook his head and said: "I just practiced it suddenly."

Shen Zhenzhen: ……

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb your party."

After chatting for two sentences, Shen Zhenzhen turned and left with a smile. Until she got into her electric car, her face changed:

"This Lin Qi is really lucky to have practiced a minor divine ability."

"But even without being a Mental Reader, he won't be my opponent."

……

In the living room, after Shen Zhenzhen left.

Xia Lian leaned over and whispered:

"Lin Qi, you have to be careful of this guy Shen Zhenzhen. She is scheming and is best at one set on the surface and another behind her back."

"I once heard her speak ill of you in the class."

"You can ask Brother Nine about this. It's not my slander."

Lin Qi frowned. There was such a thing. He already believed half of it in his heart. With Pei Jiu as a witness, the probability of lying together was not high.

Maybe this Shen Zhenzhen really had such a personality, which made him vigilant.

Ten minutes later.

Nearly twenty people sat at two tables and ate together.

Ten Ten Academies geniuses sent birthday gifts, and only four stayed.

Besides Han Zhen, Xia Lian, and Pei Jiu, there was also a girl named Lan Yue.

"Classmates!"

Wan Ming stood up and said:

"Today is my birthday. The reason for holding a birthday banquet is mainly because staying in the Ten Academies is too deserted, and there are no people."

"I like to be lively and make friends. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

Then everyone cut the cake and ate the cake together, completing the whole process.

"I wish you all eat well and drink well!"

"Good!"

"Clap clap clap!!"

Amidst the applause, everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Among them, Han Zhen and others mingled with everyone.

……

The entire banquet lasted until 10 PM before ending, and everyone dispersed with unfinished business.

Lin Qi also added the contact information of several Ten Academies geniuses, and the relationship was much closer.

At the villa entrance, just as Lin Qi was about to leave, Wan Ming suddenly leaned over.
