It is said that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. This kind of courage can be quite strange sometimes. Maybe it really is just a matter of intimidating the opponent with this kind of recklessness?

Xie Li said that she wasn't good at fighting, but she was bold and took the initiative, which intimidated her opponents.

The more Chen Lian thought about it, the more sense it made, and her eyes couldn't help but sparkle.

Standing to the side, Zhang Siyuan was speechless at her optimism or perhaps just naivety.

"Did you know that Xie Li petitioned to start the Encyclopedia King challenge ahead of schedule, and the difficulty will be adjusted upwards?"

Chen Lian was a little confused: "Huh? There are different levels of difficulty?"

Zhang Siyuan sighed: "Of course there are different levels. Xie Ziyuan is attempting level A, which is the highest level applicable to high school students. However, Xie Li is forced to activate it, and since you are a team of two, the difficulty level is increased to level S."

"No one has ever tried this level since the company was founded. By the way, Xie Ziyuan hasn't tried it either."

Chen Lian was dumbfounded.

Zhang Siyuan glanced at Xie Li and found that the other party looked very calm, as if he was not surprised at all.

Zhang Siyuan: "You know the difficulty is going to increase, right?"

Xie Li wondered if she was very confident.

Chen Lian said listlessly, "Even if she knows what use it is, it's not entirely a bad thing when you think about it carefully. If the difficulty increases, then if we die, we all die together!"

She refused to believe that the other two groups could be so talented as to make a name for themselves.

If we're going to lose face, let's all lose face together.

Xie Li: "...No, can you at least have a little bit of faith in me?"

Chen Lian rolled her eyes at her and refused to answer the question.

She had been studying with Xie Li for the past few days and had witnessed firsthand Xie Li's study methods: he did things haphazardly, flipping through books as if it were just for fun.

Typical behavior of a poor student.

Instead, Zhang Siyuan glanced at Xie Li thoughtfully, then waved his hand, "Well then, I wish you a resounding victory and all your wishes come true!"

——

Not long after Xie Li transferred back to the international class, the news had spread far and wide.

Jiang Yifan didn't expect Xie Li to be so troublesome. It's only been a few days, is he really that impatient?

Or has she given up and increased the difficulty by an order of magnitude so that everyone dies at roughly the same level?

But that's fine too, because this gives him even more legitimate reason to incite the students against Xie Li and force her to leave the international class completely.

Jiang Baili was also very angry. The resources she could get were limited, and Xie Li suddenly increased the difficulty, making her advantage instantly less obvious.

Even Xie Ziyuan's information is not very useful for reference anymore.

She never does anything without certainty. In the past, she always got preferential treatment in exams because of Xie Yunqiu's connections. This time, she was completely clueless and felt like killing Xie Li.

Seeing Xie Li return, she stood up abruptly. "Xie Li, can you please stop being so self-righteous?"

Although Jiang Baili had suffered a minor setback in her previous slanderous remarks, she had always maintained a cool and aloof image, and people were quite surprised to see her so openly display such a change of attitude.

Xie Li slightly raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Baili.

Jiang Baili felt even more irritated. Why was she always able to maintain such a calm and composed expression after causing trouble?

"I can't control if you offend Teacher Wen, but please don't drag others down with you!"

Jiang Baili was emotionally unstable, her heart pounding rapidly. "You're so confident because you can't get into the top class anyway, but I'm different. I'm going to get into the top class!"
