“Him

Hearing Xu Junrou’s words, Wang Xiao’s first reaction was disbelief.

It was not that Wang Xiao looked down on Gao Lixuan, but his figure was really too thin and weak. The energy aura on his body was not thick either. He might not even be a level three lord yet.

How could such a person get the academy head to specially set a rule for him in the fiercely competitive Yuheng Academy?

Seeing Wang Xiao’s suspicion, Yi Han’s expression changed. “Idol, what Xiao Rou said is true.”

“When we first entered the academy, Brother Xuan looked quite ordinary. Moreover, he was often late or even skipped class, so he was often criticized by the teachers.”

“After that, he made a bet with the teacher. If he can get first place in the final exam, he won’t have to come to class in the future.”

Hearing this, Wang Xiao could not help but be interested. “What happened after that?”

“Then Brother Xuan won.”

It was unknown if Yi Han was crying or smiling as he said helplessly, “Ever since then, Brother Xuan has often not come to class. However, he always gets first place in every exam, causing the students in his class to feel very pressured. ”

“After awakening his talent, Brother Xuan became even more lazy. Originally, he could still come two to three days a week, but later on, we simply did not see him more than a few times a month. The academy head felt that this could not go on, so he talked to Brother Xuan once. After that, they set up the academy trial.’

Wang Xiao looked at Yi Han with a subtle expression and suddenly did not know what to say. This story sounded like there were loopholes everywhere, but he knew that Yi Han would not lie to him.

After a long silence, Wang Xiao came back to his senses and asked, “What’s his lord talent?”

“That’s the strangest thing.”

Xu Junrou continued from the side, “Originally, the lord talent awakened in the Awakening Tower was publicized on the spot. However, when Brother Xuan went in to awaken, there was actually a malfunction in the Awakening Tower.”

“Therefore, only a few people in the Awakening Tower knew about his lord talent. Later on, we also asked, but Brother Xuan said that the academy head had ordered him to keep quiet and not mention it to anyone.”

“There’s such a thing?”

Wang Xiao revealed a shocked expression. The malfunction of the Awakening Tower was already very strange, and the academy head who had always wanted to compete with Kai Yang actually personally ordered Gao Lixuan to keep his lord talent a secret.

There was definitely something wrong with this abnormality, let alone two abnormal things stacked together.

“In the beginning, it was because of this that we decided to build a good relationship with Brother Xuan.”

Xu Junrou continued to explain, “You also know that I have a mission to protect Yi Han, and the unknown lord’s talent might be a threat to him. However, after interacting with him for a long time, we realized that Brother Xuan is quite a good person.”

At the end of the sentence, Xu Junrou’s tone suddenly became clear. Yi Han also chuckled, looking very sincere.

Only then did Wang Xiao remember that when he first saw Gao Lixuan, the two of them called him “Brother Xuan” from the bottom of their hearts. They did not seem to be teasing the other party at all.

“Perhaps I really underestimated him…” Wang Xiao muttered thoughtfully.

At this moment, Gao Lixuan walked out of the academy again. When he saw the three of them casually greet each other, he yawned and walked back.

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads with a bitter smile before returning to the academy.

Not long after Wang Xiao entered the classroom, Zhou Xiruo followed him in. She was here to find Wang Xiao to explore the secret realm, but when she saw him sitting upright, she tactfully did not speak.

Not long after, the class bell rang. Tian Gang walked in with the lesson plan. After looking at Wang Xiao meaningfully, he began to talk about today’s class.

Because Wang Xiao had disrupted yesterday’s class, the content today was the same as yesterday. Zhou Xiruo listened to half of the class in fear and heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that Wang Xiao had no intention of causing trouble again.

After class, the two of them went to the [ancient arena] with Tian Gang. The flag seizing battle today lasted for three rounds, but under that unfair rule, Wang Xiao was unsurprisingly completely defeated.

In the following days, Wang Xiao’s life was very regular. He attended classes, trained, and wrote his battle comprehension. Tian Gang also took his battle comprehension every time and threw them into the trash can in front of Wang Xiao.

However, as time passed, the rules of training every afternoon kept changing.

Three days later, the number of soldiers Wang Xiao could use was still limited to three, but the quality limit had changed from bronze level three to silver level one. However, what changed with it was that the quality and number of soldiers Tian Gang sent also increased.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Wang Xiao could already use level two gold soldiers, but the lowest level among his mutated beasts was level three gold, so he could only borrow Zhou Xiruo’s soldiers.

For this reason, Zhou Xiruo even spent a huge sum of money to buy three level two gold soldiers. In the end, they still did not win a single battle after three flag seizing battles.

However, although Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo did not win, they had also grown much stronger than before.

Especially in the last week, Wang Xiao only used three ordinary gold level two soldiers to fight Tian Gang’s 100 peak silver level level three soldiers. Almost every round was dragged on for too long, so Tian Gang announced a draw and took the initiative to stop.

After announcing a draw in the last flag capture battle, Tian Gang waved his hand and dispersed his soldiers. He looked at Wang Xiao from afar and instructed, “Your performance today was not bad. Go back and write 30,000 words of battle comprehension for me.”

“30,000?”

Wang Xiao frowned. “I didn’t provoke you today, right? Why did you add another 20,000?”

“I’m not happy because I didn’t beat you today.”

Tian Gang casually made up a reason, then he thought of something and continued, “The academy’s ranking assessment is about to begin. Before that, the academy has an internal qualifier, so the training will stop for a few days. You guys rest well.”

Hearing the academy ranking assessment, Wang Xiao realized that a month had passed. In this moment of daze, Tian Gang had already crushed the key and left.

“He’s really fast!”

Wang Xiao spat angrily and looked at Zhou Xiruo helplessly. “Call back your soldiers. It’s time for us to return.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Xiruo agreed but did not move. Instead, she looked at Wang Xiao and asked, “What do you think?”

“What do you mean?”

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought of something and revealed a look of realization. “You’re talking about the academy’s ranking assessment? Didn’t Teacher Chen Xue tell you not to go easy? Then take it seriously! ”

“I’m not asking about this. I’m asking about Teacher Tian.”

Zhou Xiruo explained with a hint of worry on her face. “You told me that the battle comprehension you submitted would be thrown away every time. I know you must be quite angry, but not only did you not cause trouble, you even focused on class and actively trained—”

At this point, Zhou Xiruo paused slightly. She held Wang Xiao’s face and asked seriously, “This is unlike you. I know you won’t swallow this anger.. What exactly are you planning?”
