"A Hanlin scholar? It's actually this kid?"
Lin Xiao looked at the man in the light screen and smiled.
He was somewhat disappointed that there was no bloodshed in the last round of acting, but now that this was his enemy, it was time to draw blood!
Lin Xiao slowly got up, then leaped into the arena space where Hanlin was.
"Group A No. 1, Lin Xiao, come and fight!"
"Hanlin, do you dare to fight me to the death?"
Upon seeing that it was Lin Xiao, Hanlin's face instantly turned pale.
"I...I give up!"
Before Lin Xiao could react, Hanlin quickly admitted defeat, seemingly terrified of Lin Xiao.
This scene caused everyone who was expecting a major battle with Lin Xiao to change their expressions.
"Damn it! This kid's not being fair. I bet you lost, how can you just admit victory?"
"Damn it, why are you admitting defeat? Why are you admitting defeat? You could at least have hit me once and pretended to lose!"
“... ... ..”
In the square, complaints arose from the crowd.
Everyone was cursing Han Lin.
After admitting defeat, Hanlin quickly left the arena, and Lu Zixing also felt a change in the mark on his hand.
"Oh? Is admitting defeat acceptable?" Lin Xiao murmured.
It seems that next time someone tries to admit defeat, he'll give them a good beating and then take some cultivation resources along the way.
Lin Xiao made a decision in his heart and then left the arena space.
If he wants to continue, he'll have to wait until the next round.
... ... ..
At this moment, in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, Zhou Chen had a sullen face, his head lowered, and he remained silent.
Sitting beside him was the Great Zhou Emperor, whose face was equally gloomy.
"Your Highness, is this the good friend you spoke of, capable of handling things independently?"
"Surrendering before the fighting even begins? In my opinion, these are your cronies..."
The Emperor of Great Zhou spoke with a cold gaze.
Although he believed that the man named Hanlin was no match for Lin Xiao, there was a difference between admitting defeat outright and admitting defeat after a brief fight.
To admit defeat before even making a move is simply perfunctory, extremely perfunctory!
"Your Highness, the Great Zhou royal family has no need for useless people. You should know what to do!"
The Emperor of Great Zhou tapped his fingers lightly on the table and spoke calmly.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Chen finally spoke.
"Understood, Father!"
"Call me Your Majesty! This is the imperial court, not your home!" The Emperor of Great Zhou said coldly, his anger rising.
The reason for this attitude is that this foolish son has caused the Great Zhou Dynasty to offend a powerful force.
Zhou Chen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
A short while later, Zhou Chen disappeared.
The Emperor of Great Zhou looked at Zhou Chen as he left, his eyes filled with hesitation.
"Should we kill Chen'er to quell the anger of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion?"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou kept repeating it.
... ... ..
At this moment, Lin Xiao was looking at the light screen in the sky when he suddenly saw a figure in the square.
"Lin Fan? He actually made it to the third level too?"
"He's only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, is he going to be a dark horse?"
As Lin Xiao observed Lin Fan, a message appeared.
Name: Lin Fan
... ... ...
[Life Script: To find a treasure in the Great Zhou Dynasty's treasury that corresponds to Master Miaoyin's Devouring Demon Body, he must win the title of champion in the Hundred Sects Tournament!!!]
“... ... ..."
"Junior Brother Lin Fan, it seems we'll be rivals!"
Lin Xiao murmured.
Immediately afterwards, he looked behind him, trying to find Shi Miaoyin's figure.
A short while later, he actually spotted Shi Miaoyin's figure at the back of the crowd.
She sat quietly to the side, like a cold fairy descended from the heavens, exuding an icy aura.
It's practically a no-go zone.
"Um?"
Shi Miaoyin, who was in the distance, seemed to have noticed Lin Xiao's gaze. She suddenly looked up, a glint of black light flashing in her eyes, as if she were warning Lin Xiao.
If Lin Fan were by her side, she certainly wouldn't act this way, but Lin Fan isn't with her now.
"Interesting! Was he warned?" Lin Xiao muttered to himself, without looking away.
Instead, he continued to scrutinize Shi Miaoyin.
Name: Shi Miaoyin
... ... ...
[Life Script: Due to some flaws in the Devouring Demon Body, it needs a treasure from the Great Zhou Dynasty to suppress them. In order to obtain this treasure, assist Lin Fan in acquiring it!!!]
“... ... ..”
With a simple introduction, Lin Xiao understood their purpose.
However, the opportunity did not arise, presumably because they failed.
"It seems that even if I win, I will have to find the treasure that suppresses the Devouring Demon Body."
While Lin Xiao was pondering, his gaze remained fixed on her.
This made Shi Miaoyin unable to bear it any longer, and she directly transmitted her voice.
"Senior Brother Lin, please look away. I already have someone I like, your Junior Brother Lin! Lin Fan!"
He heard Shi Miaoyin's cold gaze echo in his mind.
Lin Xiao looked puzzled.
"If you're sick, go get treatment!"
Lin Xiao sent a telepathic message to Shi Miaoyin and then looked away.
