"Look, Lin Hao is there."

"Then why are we running? We can find out the result by asking him first."

Halfway through, those people noticed Lin Hao who was walking towards them, and immediately surrounded him one by one.

"Lin Hao, have you really reached the first place in the ranking stone of the Illusion Killing Platform?"

"We just received news, is this true?"

…

For a moment, many noisy sounds bombarded Lin Hao's eardrums.

"You'll know for yourself if you go and see for yourself."

Faced with so many people coming, Lin Hao was also feeling overwhelmed.

So after he left behind a few words, he immediately used the Dragon Steps to quickly shuttle through the crowd and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Tsk, you're gone so quickly, I guess the news is probably fake."

"It's more than 80%, definitely 100%. Look, he doesn't even have the courage to face it."

"Yes, let's go check it out now."

Seeing Lin Hao suddenly run away, the students became even more suspicious, and most of them showed contempt on their faces.

They did not disperse immediately, but continued to run towards the Phantom Killing Platform.

Obviously, they were upset because they didn't see the truth of the matter.

Just like that, in the narrow path on the mountain, a long stream of people densely advanced towards the Fantasy Killing Platform.

When arriving at the destination, countless eyes were almost simultaneously directed towards the huge green stone wall.

"First place...Lin Hao!"

They stared blankly at the two large red characters at the top of the ranking stone, and suddenly, they could hear the sound of gasps.

All those who rushed to the Fantasy Killing Platform were stunned at this moment!

The two words "Lin Hao" on the ranking stone were so dazzling that they attracted everyone's attention.

The expressions on their faces suddenly changed from initial doubt to a look of intense shock.

Soon, some academic instructors who heard the news also rushed here out of curiosity.

When seeing this result, no one was surprised.

Two years ago, Yan Chen's performance on the Fantasy Killing Arena was enough to shock the world.

But now, Lin Hao has directly surpassed Yan Chen and taken the top spot!

You should know that the scores recorded on this ranking stone are not those of this year’s Tianyan Academy students.

These are the names of all the students from the opening of the school to the present.

In other words, Lin Hao's comprehensive combat power test in the Fantasy Killing Arena completely surpassed all previous students in the academy.

Such brilliance has completely refreshed an era!

"This boy is indeed a hidden dragon."

In the crowd, Teacher Wu Chi's eyes flickered. He felt that having Lin Hao as his student was the most glorious thing in his life.

After all, if Lin Hao becomes a saint and a god in martial arts in the future, he, as his mentor, will be able to brag about it.

You see, that strong man named Lin Hao was once a student I taught.

Just thinking about saying this in person makes me feel very proud.

"Old Wu, you have found a treasure this time."

A bald teacher next to him said with envy: "Based on Lin Hao's performance in the Illusion Killing Stage, you, as the class teacher, will definitely receive a reward."

"Haha, this is all because Lin Hao is diligent and studious. I am just giving him a hand."

Wu Chi looked modest, but the smile on his face couldn't be concealed.

"Next month will be the grade competition assessment for the academy. I don't know how Lin Hao will perform. I'm really looking forward to it."

The bald instructor glanced at Wu Chi and said meaningfully: "Although Lin Hao's overall combat power is extremely good, he is still not the top in terms of cultivation among his peers."

Hearing this, Wu Chi nodded and immediately said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. I believe in Lin Hao's ability. This kid can always bring me unexpected surprises."

"Oh? Really?"

The bald instructor smiled and said, "Li Changfeng in our class, although he only has high-level talent, seems to have had some kind of adventure, and his cultivation is not inferior to that of the ultimate talent."

"Moreover, he has already broken through to the fifth-level warrior a while ago. Not to mention the first-year students, even the second-year students probably have few who can compete with him."

When Wu Chi heard the name 'Li Changfeng', his eyes darkened slightly.

It seems that if Lin Hao meets this person in the grade competition next month, it will obviously be a bit tricky.

"No, I will spend a lot of money in this month to help Lin Hao!"

Wu Chi pondered in his heart, stopped talking to the bald mentor, and turned around and left.

…

At this time, Lin Hao had already returned to the dormitory.

No one knew where Qin Yu and Lei Meng had gone, and the dormitory was empty.

"Recently, Raymond has been almost led astray by Qin Yu."

Lin Hao shook his head and smiled secretly.

Because he discovered that Raymond, a naive young man from the mountains, had now begun to learn a few tricks to pick up girls and had even hooked up with a pure and beautiful girl from the class next door.

As for whether he had sex or not, Lin Hao was not so nosy as to ask.

On the contrary, Qin Yu was encouraging Raymond all day long to take the first step boldly, as he would feel absolutely great after tasting the forbidden fruit.

While daydreaming, Lin Hao walked into the dormitory.

whoosh——!

However, when he stepped into the room, the storage ring on his finger suddenly flashed.

Immediately afterwards, a sound transmission note suddenly flew out on its own and quickly burned.

Lin Hao's expression was slightly stern, and he immediately listened attentively to the next message.

"Mission: assassinate Ma Shuoliang."

"The identity of the prey: the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a third-rank official."

"Recent activity location: Three days later, at the residence of Grand Commandant Wang in the west of the city, to attend the Winter Sun Season Banquet."

"Reward: 50 million."

…

Zi Ye's cold voice rang clearly in Lin Hao's mind.

After nearly four months, the mission finally arrived.

After listening to the mission information, Lin Hao immediately became alert.

For the past four months, he has been receiving a fixed salary of only 40 million.

Unexpectedly, this mission would be worth 50 million. For Lin Hao, it was like a spring breeze.

"The prey's activity location three days later will be at the residence of General Wang."

Lin Hao muttered to himself in a low voice, and couldn't help but think of the banquet that Yan Fengjun had invited him to attend before, which happened to be there.

It seems that this time, even if it is the Hongmen Banquet, I have to go.

There was a hint of coldness on Lin Hao's lips, but there was no fear at all in his heart.

Moreover, he discovered that the targets of Yan Wang's recent assassination attempts seemed to be officials in the court.

In this situation, in addition to finding evidence of treason and rebellion.

There is another possibility, which is a major purge of factions in the court to pave the way for the next new king to ascend the throne.

Otherwise, once the old king passes away and the new king is unable to control the power of the court, the end result will only be the destruction of the country.

This is also the bloody storm that always occurs when the royal power changes in every dynasty.

As he was guessing, Lin Hao secretly shook his head, feeling that he had unknowingly gotten tangled up in the muddy waters of the royal power struggle...
