At night, in the open space outside Wutan City, inside one of the tents.
Lin Li was lying on the bed waiting for the arrival of midnight, while Wang Qing, who had just finished today's complicated enrollment work, came back from outside and went to his bed to rest.
"Enrollment work is really not something humans do." Wang Qing lamented.
"If you are not active in fishing, you have a problem with your thinking." Lin Li gave a speech on this matter.
"What I am responsible for is the passage specially set up for you small and powerful family dignitaries in Wutan City. Can you fish in that?" Wang Qing rolled his eyes, then realized a problem and asked: "By the way, how do you, a wild cultivator, Yu Nian, know about this passage?"
"Spend some money to buy some news." Lin Li said casually.
"This kind of news is also for sale. The powerful family members in Wutan City are really some clowns." Wang Qing shrugged and complained, "Yu Nian, do you know that something interesting happened to the Xiao family in Wutan City?" Something about?"
"What?" Lin Li was really interested in this. He had only been away for a long time, so why did something happen?
"I heard from some newly recruited Xiao family members that the academic tablet they placed in the family hall was stolen!
It made me laugh. How could someone steal this thing? Although it was not considered property at all, the head of the Xiao family thought this was a serious provocation. The other two major families in Wutan City deliberately sent people to humiliate him, so he became furious. !
Then the son of the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan, who has been in the limelight in Wutan City recently and turned from a genius to a waste, to a genius again, swore to his father that he would definitely make this insidious villain pay his price!
Anyway, as a bystander, I just think it’s so interesting, how could anyone be so stupid as to steal this thing..."
"..."
Lin Li blinked and looked at the test academic tablet he placed beside his bed.
Seeing that Lin Li did not respond to his words, Wang Qing glanced at Lin Li subconsciously, and then followed his line of sight and happened to see the stone tablet.
Different from Lin Li's perspective, in Wang Qing's field of vision, there was a huge word "Xiao" engraved on the back of the stone tablet.
The calligraphy brush moves like a dragon and a snake, very elegant.
"Why is there the word Xiao behind your academic test stone..." he asked.
"Well... that's it. I said that I never tell anyone my real name when I'm out and about. Now I can tell you that my name is actually Yu Xiao?" Lin Li touched his chin and said to Wang Qing sincerely.
Wang Qing: "..."
His expression looked unbelievable.
The tent suddenly became very quiet, and the whimpering wind could be heard outside.
I seem to be broken.
Damn it, did you just call the old guy stupid? Wouldn't this careless junior be so narrow-minded that he has already remembered his own grudge?
Wang Qing is still far inferior to Lin Li in terms of strength.
"Ahem." He coughed.
"Haha, just kidding.
In fact, I have long been dissatisfied with the Xiao family. The person who stole the stone tablet must be a chivalrous and courageous person who acts with justice! I can't stand what the Xiao family is doing. They are doing justice for heaven and giving a little precept! Be a hero! It's a hero! "
Wang Qing's change of tone was very sonorous and powerful.
Lin Li was so embarrassed by the praise: "It's not as good as you said, and there is no other purpose. It just needs a stone tablet. I think he placed it there for those who are destined to take it."
Wang Qing: "..."
Why is this man so proud?
God, those who are destined will take it.
"Go to sleep, I have to get up early to work tomorrow." Wang Qing felt sad when he thought of this.
"Okay, I went to sleep too, and I have to wake up naturally tomorrow.
Hiss - Not necessarily. If I set off at noon, I have to get up before noon. It's very hard, so I have to go to bed early. Lin Li also said sadly.
Wang Qing: "..."
"Oh, Yu Nian, if you treat study with this attitude, study will treat you with this attitude! This is the wise saying my tutor told me, just wait and suffer.
You may not realize the seriousness at this stage, but if you continue to be lazy like this, you will never become a "junior high school student"! "
Wang Qing taught earnestly and sincerely.
"What you say makes sense."
"Yeah, so I suggest you get up early with me, I'll go to work, and you..." Wang Qing laughed.
Lin Li yawned, interrupting Wang Qing's gratified voice: "So don't wake me up when you get up in the morning. I'm so angry that I can kill people in my sleep."
"..."
Wang Qing clenched his fists, mentally thinking about the possibility of suffocating Lin Li to death with a quilt in the middle of the night.
Because of the exhaustion of the day, Wang Qing fell asleep quickly, and arrived at midnight amid his gentle snoring.
The moment he received the message, Lin Li opened the system panel.
[Would you like to choose a quick time skip? 】
[Currently jumpable nodes: 1. The Gama Empire Volume King Conference is open. 】
The previous Xiao family coming-of-age ceremony had disappeared due to Lin Li's choice, and this was the only new option.
"No skipping."
This node has no practical effect on him. If task one is not completed, Lin Li may still participate, but now that it has been completed, there is no need to waste time.
It’s better to go to New Oriental to inquire about information related to Tiandao while waiting to increase your academic ability tomorrow.
Lin Li also closed his eyes and slept.
…
Christmas Eve.
The next day, in order to recharge his batteries, Lin Li woke up naturally. Wang Qing had already gone to enroll students. The first thing after getting up, Lin Li put his hand on the academic stone tablet next to him.
"The first semester of junior high school starts in the last semester."
Looking at the content displayed on the stone tablet, Lin Li nodded with satisfaction.
The speed of skipping grades has not slowed down. At this rate, I will soon be able to return to a college degree.
By then I should be able to play with more flowery stuff.
Lin Li had too much unconventional knowledge.
But you have to find someone or a place to experiment.
Soon it was noon. Wang Qing returned to the tent to pack his things. At the same time, he looked at Lin Li and said:
"You come with me."
"Well, how do we get back? Is it a teleportation circle?" Lin Li nodded, stood up and asked.
He really wanted to experience it.
"Of course I flew back on the "Thunder". "
"Thunder and lightning?"
"Ha, you don't know anything about it, you will know when you come with me."
Outside the tent, many young people had gathered unknowingly.
Lin Li had never met most of them, but he also met a few Xiao family members. They were obviously students who were successfully selected in this recruitment.
Everyone looked at the sky with anticipation and excitement, waiting silently.
Lin Li immediately saw the "thunder and lightning". They flew from the sky and slowly landed in front of everyone. They were gryphons with blue wings. They were huge, but they had been put on saddles. They had obviously been Tamed by man.
Lin Li then remembered that there was a classic airplane shooting game called "Thunder", so it was reasonable to name the flying monster in this copy.
Following Wang Qing, he climbed onto the back of one of the griffins, and several familiar people were already sitting on it.
Ruolin and her three students - one more Xiao Yu.
"Hello, Senior Wang Qing, eh, this is..." Xiao Yu greeted the two of them and was a little overwhelmed when she saw Lin Li.
"He is Yu Nian and one of the students recruited in Wutan City this time. However, the situation is quite special and he is older. He is already twenty-four years old." Ruolin explained to Xiao Yu:
"The reason for the exceptional admission is that his own strength has far exceeded that of ordinary "third graders." My judgment of him is that even if his opponent is a "fifth grader," he can fight. "
"Hello, Senior Yu Nian." Xiao Yu opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, and said quickly after being stunned for half a second, "My name is Xiao Yu, and I am one of the teacher's students."
Lin Li hesitated for a while and nodded: "Hello, Xiao Yu."
"Senior Yu, are you also from Wutan City? I seem to have never heard of your reputation. Teacher Ruolin thinks so highly of you. You shouldn't be unknown. Is it because Xiao Yu is ignorant?" Xiao Yu was very worried. asked politely.
"I was a wild cultivator before, and I was always studying outside. I rarely returned to the city, otherwise I wouldn't have missed the previous enrollment." Lin Li still used this excuse.
"Oh." Xiao Yu nodded, and then said with a smile: "I am from the Xiao family. If you have nowhere to go after graduating from New Oriental, you can come to the Xiao family as a guest. We will definitely welcome you."
"Okay, I'll think about it." Lin Li nodded.
Xiao Yu didn't ask any more questions.
Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it was his face or his voice, Xiao Yu found nothing unusual.
But it's normal, given Xiao Linli's status, he has almost never spoken to Xiao Yu.
The griffin began to flap its wings, then rose up from the ground and soared into the sky. The floors of the house gradually became smaller. After passing through the clouds, the griffin's wings continued to beat faster and began to fly forward.
Ruolin opened the windshield on the griffin's back and turned to look at Lin Li:
"Yu Nian, after your batch enrolls, New Oriental School's inner court selection will begin. I will register you directly. With your strength, there shouldn't be a big problem.
Joining the inner courtyard, the "Fengtian Qi Training Kitchen" inside will have a qualitative change in the growth rate of your academic ability. Don't miss it. "
"The inner courtyard is actually the core of our New Oriental," Ruolin looked at Lin Li and introduced. After all, among the people on this griffon, he was the only one who didn't know any information. "There are only fifty people from the outer courtyard every year." Students can join.”
"Um."
Lin Li nodded.
But it was just a courtesy, he had no intention of participating.
The purpose of this trip was to go to New Oriental's library to check out books related to the Way of Heaven, and to memorize information about Zhongzhou, the core of the Xuepo Continent where the eight major families are located, which the Xiao family has not recorded at all.
After that, he can wait for his strength to recover and then go shopping in Zhongzhou.
To put it bluntly, New Oriental is just a springboard for itself.
…
After half a day's flight, the griffin slowly descended from the sky. The fog gradually passed through it, and the situation inside was revealed to Lin Li.
The outline of a staggeringly huge city slowly appeared in the mist.
Even though he was at a high altitude, he still could not fully take in the entire city. From this, he could see how huge the city was.
A group of griffons swarm outside the city's high walls. On top of the high walls, five golden characters are written boldly - City of the New Orient!
Because we know that at this time, there will be new students entering the school, and a large number of teachers and students are waiting at the door, and there are even banners:
"Welcome new students."
"I hope you have a wonderful time in New Oriental."
…
"Here you can help girls carry their luggage for free." - There is another one in the corner.
With one more phone card, Lin Limeng can go back to university and start school.
As everyone got off the gryphon, under the wide-open city gate, a team of middle-aged people headed by an old man slowly walked over.
"These are..." Seeing everyone around him stop moving, Lin Li stopped moving forward and asked the people around him in a low voice.
"The leader is the dean of the outer college of our New Oriental School, the dean of the ear and soul. His academic qualifications have reached the end of the first semester of high school. He is a half-step "sophomore" strong man. You should have heard of our New Oriental vocational high school path, but Dean Er is a real "high school student"!
The ones behind are the deans of the outer courtyard..."
While standing there waiting, Ruolin was introducing the situation to all the freshmen.
"The dean will give a speech later, everyone should listen carefully."
There were gasps from around them. After all, for them, "high school students" were the top figures that were absolutely untouchable, but today, they were right in front of them, and they even had to communicate with themselves.
“Welcome to your new class.
You defeated your peers and got admission tickets to New Oriental. Your hard study finally paid off!
You young people chose New Oriental, and New Oriental also chose you young people!
You are the fresh blood of New Oriental and one of its most important components!
…”
The old man glanced around, with a kind smile, and spoke a passionate welcome.
Everyone looked up at the old man very seriously and felt their blood boiling.
Except one person.
Not only did he not feel his blood boiling, but he felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Li.
His eyes suddenly widened at this moment, and he immediately lowered his head subconsciously, avoiding any visual collision with the old man.
Because this voice was very familiar to him - the man in black.
There is no difference, the old timbre is exactly the same.
Then he realized that doing so would appear very abrupt, so he quickly raised his head and put on a pair of passionate eyes, staring intently at his ears and soul like everyone else.
Erhun's eyes, the only part of the man in black that was exposed that day, also overlapped perfectly.
Erhun was still stating his welcome speech to the new students, but Lin Li couldn't hear what he was saying at all because his brain was brainstorming.
It seems that New Oriental is right. It may not just be a springboard. Here, I may be able to get more information.
In the original work, Canaan College and the Soul Clan Soul Palace do not have any cooperative relationship, and are even considered enemies.
But now, this God's perspective information is meaningless, because the dean of the outer courtyard actually turned into a soul tribesman in the copy.
I'm afraid it's not called Ear Soul, but Hun Er.
This is obviously the system's tampering with the copy. New Oriental has been infiltrated by the Soul Clan, and I can't trust any teacher here.
But to what purpose?
The reason why he and Lai Lu were killed was because the two broke the cognitive barrier and triggered the Heavenly Dao to peep at Lai Lu. Erhun immediately rushed to Wutan City from the border of the empire where New Oriental is located and killed Lai Lu. Two people.
high efficiency.
After starting to think about the soul clan's purpose of "eliminating all those who break cognitive barriers", Lin Li thought that the logic seemed to be clear.
Since the soul race is so skilled at dealing with people who break cognitive barriers, does it prove that this copy is probably broken by aborigines?
The man in black once said, "If you can do this at this kindergarten stage, if you leave it until later, there will be endless troubles", which is similar to killing genius.
Then will there be more and more 'geniuses' who can rely on their own insights to break this barrier as time goes by?
Is it faster and more convenient to build a New Oriental school and recruit talents?
Damn it, I am going to a concentration camp!
An idea suddenly popped into Lin Li's mind.
In the front, Erhun's welcome has reached its climax. He poured academic power into his voice and said loudly:
"Today you are the fragrance of peaches and plums, and tomorrow you will be the pillars of New Oriental. "Youth is my teacher, and I am your friend." Let us learn from each other, promote each other, and work hard for the rise of New Oriental!"
This kind of words always felt a bit ironic to Lin Li's ears at this moment.
"Okay, let me take a look at the strength of this batch of you." Erhun nodded with a smile and then said.
"Not bad, not bad, "big class", "big class", "middle class", "pre-school"..." Erhun's eyes swept over everyone he had never seen before, and nodded happily.
Until Lin Li.
"Eh? Why is there still an "illiterate"? Erhun's eyes were locked on Lin Li, "And he doesn't seem like a child." "
The people around him subconsciously stepped aside, and a path opened between Erhun and Lin Li's line of sight.
Lin Li: "..."
Why did he score twice?
"Report to the dean," Ruolin stepped forward and said, "This is one of the freshmen I recruited in Wutan City. Yu Nian is 24 years old, but his strength has reached the end of the second semester of the third grade, and his talent meets the requirements. , not "illiterate". "
】
"Oh, really? Yu Nian, does that mean you have some kind of magic weapon that covers your academic ability?"
"Yes."
Lin Li finally spoke, nodded and said.
Wang Qing frowned slightly.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
He always felt that Yu Nian's voice when he said these two words was so strange.
It sounds like it's being used as a clamp. It sounds completely different from usual, isn't it?
Wait, Wang Qing realized a possibility!
——Isn't Yu Nian pretending to be young just to win the favor of the dean of the outer courtyard? The dean is not as good as Long Yang!
How disgusting!
Damn it, old thing.
——What Wang Qing didn't know was that Lin Li's inner thoughts were perfectly consistent with his at this moment.
But the old thing in Lin Li's heart was the kindly smiling dean in front of him.
"Old guy, damn it."
