118: Ling Ge's little thoughts

Three boys stood in front of two girls, facing the surrounding figures. There was no surprise or panic on the faces of the five, only calmness.

“What a beautiful girl. If I’m not mistaken, her name should be Xun'er.”

Liu Mu’s gaze swept over the girl with a lotus-like Aura, and he was slightly startled, as if he had thought of something.

Last year, before he entered the Inner Academy, he heard that a very beautiful girl had arrived at the Academy.

“Lin Ge, what are you playing at?”

Bai Shan recognized the person in the crowd and questioned him with some displeasure.

Bringing people to rob him? Wasn’t he afraid of being reprimanded by his cousin afterwards?

“The Fire Energy Hunting Competition has rules. Since we’ve met, then I’m sorry, Bai Shan.”

Lin Ge smiled, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. “Everyone, be gentle with the girls later. Don’t leave a bad impression.”

“Too much nonsense! Everyone, attack, and finish this quickly. Remember, not a single one can escape.”

Xiao Yan turned his head and reminded Xun'er and the other four.

“Understood.”

The four nodded slightly, their bodies trembled, and powerful Dou Qi surged out fiercely.

It was precisely at the moment their Aura was released that the faces of Lin Ge and the other four suddenly changed.

Because they were horrified to discover that these five freshmen, just from their Aura, were much stronger than them.

“Damn it, we’ve hit a tough opponent this time!”

Lin Ge immediately reacted, realizing that these five were probably the top five of this year’s Inner Courtyard Selection Competition.

He waved his hand, preparing to signal the others to leave.

Last year, their Fire Energy was stolen by the older students. If their Fire Energy was stolen by freshmen again this year, then it would be utterly disgraceful!

However.

Before the words could even leave his mouth, Lin Ge saw a dark figure suddenly rush towards him. Catching a glimpse of the fist containing powerful Dou Qi, his pupils contracted.

Bang! Bang!

Before long, Lin Ge and the other four were sitting back-to-back on the ground, their gazes complex with a hint of gloom, as they looked at the few people surrounding them.

Xiao Yan looked down at them from above, asking several questions, such as the size of the forest and the specific use of Fire Energy in the Inner Academy.

After learning the importance of Fire Energy, Xiao Yan’s eyes flickered, and he pondered for a few seconds.

He put away the confiscated map and asked with a frown, “How many older students are participating in the Hunting Competition?”

“Also fifty people, five people per group, a total of ten groups,” Lin Ge replied.

“How strong are they? Are they all similar to you?” Xiao Yan continued to ask.

“Seven teams are similar to us, one team is stronger, and there are two remaining Black and White Guardians teams. They are not from the previous batch of older students; they have been in the Inner Academy longer, and their strength is even more formidable than ours.”

At this point, Lin Ge’s expression froze, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. “Wait, you’re asking all this, are you planning to rob us older students in return?”

Then, without waiting for Xiao Yan’s reply, Lin Ge shook his head to himself. “If you have that idea, I advise you to give it up, lest you do all the work for someone else.”

As a member of the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, Lin Ge naturally saw Lin Xiu’s name among the participants.

That guy was an absolute monster. Last year, he was already ridiculously strong, capable of contending with the Black and White Guardians.

Now, after spending a year in the Inner Academy and holding so much Fire Energy, who knew how strong he would become?

Lin Ge was displeased with Lin Xiu from the bottom of his heart. Although they hadn’t met, he could guess Lin Xiu’s thoughts.

Therefore, he didn’t want this batch of freshmen to steal the older students’ Fire Energy.

After all, older students couldn’t rob each other. This way, even if Lin Xiu stopped the freshmen, he would at most only get one or two hundred days of Fire Energy.

“What do you mean? Do you think we’re very weak?” Hu Jia’s temper was a bit fiery, and she questioned loudly.

Wu Hao didn’t speak, but his expression was a bit cold. Clearly, after being underestimated, he wasn’t in a good mood either.

This past year, in the Enforcement Team, in order to become stronger, he had almost become a killing machine. His clothes were often soaked with blood.

The immense effort he put in also brought very obvious rewards; his strength had greatly increased.

At least, compared to the Realm of Su Xiao, Leng Bai, and others last year, he was much higher.

Originally, Wu Hao could have directly entered the Inner Academy, but thinking that he still had a contest with Lin Xiu that hadn’t been completed, he decided to participate in the Inner Courtyard Selection Competition.

Bai Shan watched with cold eyes, his shoulders twitching several times, as if he had an urge to attack.

Xiao Xun'er’s expression was also a bit off.

She could not care if her strength was questioned, but her Xiao Yan Gege’s strength could not be questioned!

“Hu Jia, let him speak properly.” Xiao Yan waved his hand, his calm gaze fixed on the other party, making Lin Ge feel a little unnerved.

“That’s right, your strength is indeed very strong, but that’s only limited to the Outer Academy.

This time, the captains of the two Black and White Guardians teams are Sha Tie and Luo Hou respectively. The former is at the Peak of a Nine-Star Great Dou Shi, and the latter is even a One-Star Dou Ling. How can you fight them?”

After changing his mind, Lin Ge began to earnestly persuade them, just to prevent Lin Xiu from gaining an advantage.

He described in detail the strength of the Black and White Guardians that he knew.

Finally, Lin Ge did not forget to remind them, “Compared to the Black and White Guardians, you should be more wary of an older student from the previous batch, a person named Lin Xiu.”

As he said this, his gaze flickered towards Wu Hao and Bai Shan, especially lingering on Bai Shan for a while longer.

Xiao Yan noticed this scene and felt the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it before.

He then saw Bai Shan’s expression change drastically, though it only took one or two seconds for him to compose himself.

“Last year, Lin Xiu alone defeated the five members of the White Fiends Team. You should know that at that time, Lin Xiu was only a Two-Star Great Fighter, while his opponent was Han Yue, a One-Star Dou Ling!”

Lin Ge continued to emphasize, “I advise you to give up this idea, otherwise, the Fire Energy you collect in the end will definitely fall into Lin Xiu’s hands!”

“A Two-Star Great Fighter defeating a One-Star Dou Ling? Are you sure you’re not joking?!”

Hu Jia’s beautiful eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. She had some impression of Lin Xiu; she had lost two Profound Rank Combat Skills to him back then.

Afterward, her maternal grandfather had nagged her for quite some time.

After her strength increased this year, Hu Jia had always been thinking of settling the score with Lin Xiu.

But what did she hear now?

Lin Xiu could fight a Dou Ling last year, and she was only a Five-Star Great Fighter now. She almost actively sent treasures to Lin Xiu again.

“Who is this Lin Xiu? Which Sect or Imperial Family does his Family belong to?”

Xiao Yan’s gaze sought confirmation, and he looked towards Xun'er.

Having only recently arrived at the Academy, Xiao Yan didn’t know much about many things.

Suddenly hearing about such a person, he couldn’t help but feel a little shocked.

This Lin Xiu was even more formidable than himself!

“Teacher, does that Lin Xiu also have someone like you behind him?”

Xiao Yan asked in his heart again.

“I don’t know.”

Yao Lao hesitated for a moment before replying.

He was wondering if this Lin Xiu was the same Lin Xiu from the auction house.

In one year, breaking through from a Two-Star Great Fighter to a Dou Wang, even Canaan Academy wouldn’t have the conditions to cultivate that, right?

Perhaps he would have an answer once he met the person... He had traveled the continent for many years and didn’t seem to have heard of any Dou Di Family with the surname Lin.

Xiao Xun'er recalled and recounted her experiences from leaving Wutan City, encountering Lin Xiu, and everything that happened along the way.

Finally, she tilted her head in thought for a moment, “Xiao Yan Gege, perhaps he used some secret method to enhance his strength in the end. You know, if I wanted to, I would also have a chance to accomplish it.”

“Yes, I know.”

Xiao Yan remembered that in Wutan City, when Xun'er ambushed and killed the Alchemist of the Gale Family in the middle of the night, she had displayed the strength of a Great Fighter.

At that time, Xun'er was only a Fighter.
