There was a dead silence in the square.

Everyone stared at the blazing figure in the ring, and they were in a dream for a while, unable to speak for a while.

The teacher who was still the referee was the first to react, glanced at Cheng Yue, who had a dull look, shook his head secretly in his heart, and then raised his voice:

"Lin Ze wins!"

This sentence was like thunder on the ground, and everyone was blown up at once, and in an instant, countless exclamations converged into a rolling wave, which swept through the square in the blink of an eye.

"Win?"

"How is that possible!?"

"Even a fourth-order spirit magician is not an opponent!"

"It's incredible!"

The discussions came and went, and even the ring could be heard clearly, but Lin Ze was unconscious, slowly put down the soul knife, lifted the Rising Sun and Red Lotus armor, and turned to leave the ring.

"Really won!"

Until Lin Ze returned to his seat, Chen Muzhen still couldn't believe that Lin Ze had actually defeated Cheng Yue, who was a fourth-order spiritual magician.

"And the last one. Lin Ze shrugged.

said so, but the result was already doomed, even Cheng Yue was defeated at his hands, how could Cui Jianping, who was a third-order spiritual magician, be his opponent.

As expected, a moment later, the referee announced that Cui Jianping had abstained, and Lin Ze won the final victory and took the top position.

Scattered cheers rang out in the square.

The vast majority of the students present either belonged to the traditional faction or the reform faction, and they thought that the chief would eventually be born between the two factions, but they didn't expect to kill a Lin Ze in the horizontal field, defeated Cheng Yue and Cui Jianping, who were promised expectations, and got the position of chief, and more importantly, the official position of the commander of the city guard represented behind the position of chief.

What I thought was in the bag, but in the end, it fell to his family, and if it was anyone, I am afraid that the mood is not much better at the moment.

In particular, the traditionalists are the most unwilling, and the reasons are self-evident.

In the corner of the square, Cui Jianping sighed, his face was full of gloom, he had already made up his mind that he would retreat and cultivate after he went back, and he must break through to the fourth level as soon as possible, so that he would have the strength to resist Shang Cheng Yue in the future.

As for Lin Ze, he has no heart for confrontation, this kind of genius is destined to be unattainable.

Fortunately, Lin Ze has always remained neutral and does not participate in any faction, but he is not afraid of conflict with him.

Not long after the game ended, Su Xi found Lin Ze, praised and encouraged him with a smile, and then left under the guard of everyone.

"The big competition of the dignified academy, the chief didn't even have a reward, only a few words of praise. ”

Lin Ze shook his head and secretly scolded.

However, in the next second, a message suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.

Congratulations to player 'Raven' for achieving the achievement 'Academy Chief' and earning 20 points

He was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That's pretty much it.

When he came back to his senses, Lin Ze found that many people around him were looking at him and talking to each other, so he simply turned around and left with Chen Muzhen.

Along the way, Chen Muzhen was excitedly recounting Lin Ze's performance in the battle, as if he had become a little fan girl, while Lin Ze seemed much calmer, occasionally chuckling in response.

After separating from Chen Muzhen at the door, Lin Ze went straight back to the Shu family's mansion, and as soon as he came to the bedroom, he saw Yin Qing and Mingxi waiting at the door.

Seeing Lin Ze coming, the two girls hurriedly greeted him, bowed, and smiled in unison: "Congratulations to Your Highness!"

Lin Ze was slightly stunned: "Do you know the result of the big competition?"

"The head of the family sent someone to wait at the academy, and as soon as Dabi had the result, he rushed back to report it, and now the good news has spread throughout the mansion. Yin Qing explained, his eyes shining with admiration, "Everyone knows that His Highness has won the position of chief of the academy. ”

Lin Ze suddenly realized.

Mingxi continued: "The head of the family has instructed the two of us to wait here, and when His Highness returns, he will tell you to meet in the study. ”

"I see. Lin Ze bowed slightly, and didn't go into the bedroom, but simply turned around and walked towards the study.

Dozens of meters away from the study, he smelled a mouth-watering fragrance.

When I came to the study, I saw Shu Song fiddling with pastries again.

It's also strange to say, as the head of the family, and the head of the superior aristocratic family, but every time Lin Ze sees Shu Song, the latter is either reading a book or fiddling with food, like a lady who has nothing to do is more than the head of the family, basically I haven't seen her handling affairs, but the Shu family is managed by her in an orderly manner, not to mention that it is becoming more and more prosperous, but at least there is no trend of decline, which makes Lin Ze puzzled.

However, he had no intention of delving.

No matter what, Shu Song still loves him very much, and almost responds to his requests.

Hearing the footsteps, Shu Song turned his head and saw that it was Lin Ze, a bright smile immediately bloomed on his face, and he beckoned to him.

"Just in time, Ozawa, this is a pastry I made myself, congratulations on winning the top position of the academy competition, how about you taste it?"

Lin Ze couldn't resist his aunt's kindness, so he had to pick up a small and delicate pastry and taste it, and it tasted really good.

While watching Lin Ze taste the pastry, Shu Song said with a smile: "Now that you have the position of the chief of the academy, it won't be long before the palace will issue an inauguration order to let you succeed to the position of commander of the city guards, and you will be busy at that time." ”

"Speaking of which. ”

Swallowing the pastry, Lin Ze picked up the second piece and asked at the same time, "Aunt Shu, can you introduce a few experienced officers to me?"

Shu Song raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood: "You want to install henchmen into the army?"

"That's right. Lin Ze nodded.

According to the establishment of the city guard army, there are 4,000 people under the command of the commander of the first army, the scale is not small, there is no experience in commanding the army, and if he is not familiar with the interpersonal relations in the army, if he wants to completely take over the entire army, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, Lin Ze does not want to waste time on the overall planning and integration of the army, so he made up his mind at the beginning, and asked Shu Song to transfer a few middle-level officers from other armies to help him.

The Shu family has a close relationship with him, both prosperity and loss, with their help, Lin Ze does not have to worry about being deceived or set up by the people below.

"That's fine. Shu Song nodded and agreed.

The Shu family is a big aristocratic family, full of talents, and it is still a bit powerful in the army, and it is not difficult to transfer a few officers with outstanding ability.

"Thank you, Aunt Shu!"

"What is the politeness of your own family. Shu Song glanced at him with disgust, and then his face became slightly serious, "When you finish integrating the army, are you going to apply to go out to kill the horn clan?"

In addition to guarding the outer court, the city guards were also tasked with killing and cleaning up the horned tribes within a radius of several miles from the royal court, and every once in a while, the city guards would send a commander army out to carry out the clean-up mission.

"That's right. Lin Ze nodded.

Ever since he discovered that there was a series of achievements in killing the Horn Clan, he went to the arena almost every few days to apply for actual combat and kill the Horn Clan, and over a period of time, the number of Horn Clan kills has reached more than 800, which is only a small cut away from the goal of 1,000.

However, with the subsequent achievement of 'Horned Slayer IV', the conditions for achieving it increased dramatically to 10,000 Horned Clan, and the best way to achieve this achievement is to go outside the royal court and kill the Horned Clan by killing the Horned Clan imprisoned in the arena alone.

"Although I don't know why you are so obsessed with killing the Horn Clan, but there are many dangers outside the royal court, and the Horn Clan is not just a threat, you must not be impatient and rash, you must be fully prepared before going outside. Shu Song instructed.

"Don't worry, Aunt Shu, I know. Lin Ze smiled and nodded in response.

The inner courtyard, inside a lavish mansion.

The carved vermilion door was open, Cheng Yue lowered his head, carefully stepped over the threshold, and his steps involuntarily lightened a little.

There was a slight sound behind him, and the beautiful maid waiting outside the door had closed the wooden door.

The silence descended on the entire study, and it was only after a deep and majestic voice broke the silence.

"You lost. ”

The words were flat, but Cheng Yue's body trembled suddenly, his head lowered deeper and deeper, and he said with difficulty: "My subordinates should be damned, I have lived up to His Highness's expectations!"

"I didn't expect my younger brother, who didn't learn or know, to have such strength and talent, but I underestimated him. The voice ignored Cheng Yue, but muttered to himself, "Obviously, I have been taking a wise attitude to protect myself for more than 20 years, why it has suddenly changed now, it is really incomprehensible." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Yue plucked up his courage and said respectfully: "Your Highness, my subordinates asked the Second Highness about this matter before, and the Second Highness said at that time that he planned to join the army in order to kill the Jiao Clan. ”

"Do you believe this reason?"

Cheng Yue's expression was suffocated, and in his heart, he didn't believe in such a clumsy excuse.

It's just that other than that, he really can't figure out why Lin Ze suddenly changed his previous way of doing things out of the way, and began to practice spiritual arts and get involved in the army.

If you want to say that Lin Ze is interested in the throne, it is also unlikely, the forces behind him are only the Shu family in the final analysis, and the difference between them and His Royal Highness and the eldest princess is not a star and a half, and the development gap of more than 20 years is not something that can be caught up overnight.

As for the talent for excellence?

The struggle for the throne can never be determined by individual force!

"It seems that my brother's mind is so deep that it is impossible to guess. The voice paused, and continued, "The official position of the commander of the city guard army is not small, after he becomes the commander of the city guard army, you try to win him over, you can succeed best, if you fail, you must not let him fall to Lin Yan's side!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Cheng Yue replied heavily.

A similar conversation took place in the same inner courtyard, another lavish mansion.

Dabi is over, but the turmoil caused by it has not stopped.

Lin Ze's victory in the chief position not only caused an uproar in the academy, but also caused a lot of impact outside the academy.

But these effects are like undercurrents in a dark river, hidden by a calm surface that is not easily noticeable.
