At night, in the open space outside the city of Utan, inside one of the tents.

Lin Li was lying on the bed waiting for the arrival of zero o'clock, while Wang Qing, who had just finished today's complicated enrollment work, came back from outside and went to his bed to rest.

"Admissions is really not a human thing." Wang Qing sighed.

"I don't feel active in fishing, and I have problems with my thoughts." Lin Li spoke on the matter.

"I'm especially responsible for the passage specially set up for you powerful family magnates in Utan City, so can you catch fish!" Wang Qing rolled his eyes, then realized a problem and asked, "Anyway, you have been a wild cultivator for more than a year, how do you know about this passage?" ”

"News bought for some money." Lin Li casually broke it.

"This kind of news is also sold, you family magnates in Utan City are really some clowns." When Wang Qing heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and complained, "For more than a few years, do you know that there is an interesting thing happening in the Xiao family of your Utan City?" ”

"What?" Lin Li was really a little interested in this, he had only been away for a long time, why did something happen?

"I heard from a few Xiao family members who just recruited that the test tablet they put in the family hall was stolen!

Laugh at me, how could anyone steal this thing, although it is not any property at all, but the head of the Xiao family thinks that this is a serious provocation, and it is the other two major families in Utan City who deliberately sent people to humiliate him, so he was furious!

Then the son of the patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan, who has been in the limelight in your Utan City recently, has changed from a genius to a waste material, and has become a genius, swore to his father that he would definitely let this sinister villain pay his own price!

Anyway, as a bystander, I just think it's too funny, how can I really be stupid than stealing this thing......"

“……”

Lin Li blinked, looking at the test tablet he had placed on the bedside.

Seeing that Lin Li didn't respond to his words, Wang Qing subconsciously glanced at Lin Li, and then followed his line of sight, and happened to see the stone tablet as well.

Different from Lin Li's perspective, in Wang Qing's field of vision, behind the stone stele, coincidentally, is engraved with a huge word "Xiao".

The calligraphy pen walks the dragon and snake, very elegant.

"How can there be a Xiao character behind the stone tablet of your academic qualification......" he asked.

"Hmm...... That's the case, I said that I walk outside and never say my real name to the outside world, and 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: "......"

The expression didn't look very believable.

The tent suddenly became quiet, and the whimpering wind outside could be heard.

I seem to have broken the eucalyptus.

Oh no, did you just say that the old thing is stupid? This reluctant junior, he won't be careful and has already remembered his own grudges, right?

Wang Qing is now far inferior to Lin Li in terms of strength.

"Ahem." He coughed.

"Haha, just kidding.

In fact, I have long been unhappy with the Xiao family, the person who stole the stele must be a chivalrous and righteous person! I can't stand what the Xiao family is doing, and I am doing it for the heavens, and I am giving a little precept! It's a hero! It's HERO! ”

Wang Qing's style of speech changed very sonorously and powerfully.

Lin Li was embarrassed to be praised: "It's not as good as you said, and there is no other purpose, it just needs a stone tablet, and he puts it there, I think it should be the meaning of those who are destined to take it by themselves." ”

Wang Qing: "......"

How can this man really be proud?

God is destined to take it for himself.

"I'm sleeping, I'm going to get up early tomorrow to work." Wang Qing was very sad when he thought about it.

"Okay, I'm asleep too, and I'll have to wake up naturally tomorrow.

Hey—Not necessarily, if I had to leave at noon, I would have to get up before noon, and it would be hard to go to bed early. Lin Li also said sadly.

Wang Qing: "......"

"Oh, Yu Nian, if you treat learning with this attitude, learning will treat you with this attitude! This is the wise saying that my guru told me, you wait and suffer.

You may not realize the severity at this stage, but if you continue to be lazy like this, you will never reach the "junior high school student"! ”

Wang Qing taught bitterly.

"You have a point."

"Yes, so I suggest you get up early with me, I'll go to work, you ......" Wang Qing laughed.

Lin Li yawned and interrupted Wang Qing's relieved voice: "So don't wake me up when you get up in the morning, I have the gas to get up, I kill people in my dreams." ”

“……”

Wang Qing clenched his fists, thinking in his heart about the possibility of suffocating Lin Li with a quilt in the middle of the night.

Because of the fatigue of the day, Wang Qing fell asleep quickly, and arrived at zero o'clock in his gentle snoring.

The moment he received the message, Lin Li opened the system panel.

Do you want to choose a quick skip time? 】

[Currently jumpable nodes: 1. The Gamma Empire Volume King Conference is opened. 】

The previous Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony has disappeared because of Lin Li's choice, and this is the only option that has been added.

"Don't skip."

This node has no practical effect on himself, if task one is not completed, Lin Li may still participate, and now that it has been completed, there is no need to waste time.

While waiting for tomorrow to increase your academic ability, go to New Oriental to inquire about Tiandao-related information.

Lin Li also closed his eyes and slept.

……

Christmas Eve.

The next day, in order to recuperate, Lin Li really woke up naturally, Wang Qing had already gone to enroll, and the first thing after getting up, Lin Li put his hand on the stone tablet next to him to test his academic qualifications.

"The first semester of junior high school started."

Looking at the content displayed on the stone tablet, Lin Li nodded with satisfaction.

The speed of skipping grades has not decreased, and at this rate, I will soon be able to recover to my college degree.

I should be able to play more flowers.

There is too much unconventional knowledge in Lin Li's hands.

But you'll have to find someone or a place to experiment with it.

Soon it was noon, Wang Qing returned to the tent to pack his things, and at the same time looked at Lin Li and said:

"You come with me."

"Well, how do we go back? Is it a teleportation circle? Lin Li nodded, got up and asked.

He'd love to experience it.

"Of course, I flew back in the Thunderbolt."

"Thunderbolt?"

"Ha, I haven't seen it, you can come with me to find out."

Outside the tent, many young people had gathered unconsciously.

Most of Lin Li had never seen them, but they also met a few Xiao family members, obviously the students who were successfully selected for this enrollment.

Everyone looked at the sky with anticipation and excitement, and waited silently.

Lin immediately saw the "thunder and lightning", they flew from the sky and slowly landed in front of everyone, they were griffins with blue wings, huge in size, but they had been saddled, and they had obviously been tamed by people.

Lin Li then remembered that there was a classic airplane shooting game called "Thunderbolt", which was used to name the flying monster of this copy, which was also reasonable.

Follow Wang Qing onto the back of one of the griffins, and there were already a few familiar people sitting on it.

Ruolin and her three students - one more Xiao Yu.

"Hello Senior Wang Qing, eh, this is ......" Xiao Yu greeted the two, and was a little overwhelmed when he saw Lin Li.

"He is more than one of the students recruited in Utan City this time, but the situation is relatively special, he is older, and 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 surpassed that of the ordinary "third grade", and my judgment of him is that even if the opponent is the "fifth grade", he can fight."

"Hello, Senior Yu Nian." Xiao Yu's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, and he was stunned for half a second before he hurriedly said, "My name is Xiao Yu, and I am one of the teacher's students. ”

Lin Li hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Hello, Xiao Yu." ”

"Senior Yu, are you also from Utan City? I don't seem to have heard of your prestige, Teacher Ruolin has such a high opinion of you, you shouldn't be unknown, is it Xiao Yu who is lonely and unheard? Xiao Yu asked very politely.

"I used to be a wild cultivator, and I have been learning knowledge outside, and I rarely go back to the city, otherwise I wouldn't have missed the previous enrollment." Lin Li still uses 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 anything more.

Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether it was his face or his voice, Xiao Yu didn't find anything abnormal.

But it's normal, Xiao Linli's identity has hardly spoken to Xiao Yu.

The griffin began to flap its wings, then rose from the ground into the sky, and the floors of the house gradually became smaller, and after passing through the clouds, the griffon's wings flapped at an accelerated pace and began to fly forward.

Ruolin opened the wind shield on the griffin's back, then turned her head to look at Lin Li:

"Yu Nian, after your batch of students are enrolled, the inner courtyard selection competition of New Oriental School will start at that time, and I will directly sign you up, with your strength, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Join the inner courtyard, the "Burning Sky Qi Kitchen" inside, has a qualitative change in the growth rate of your academic ability, you must not 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 griffin, he was the only one who didn't know any information, "Only fifty students from the outer courtyard can join every year." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Li nodded.

But just as a courtesy, he didn't plan to participate.

The purpose of this trip is to go to New Oriental's library to check the books related to the Heavenly Dao, and then recite the information related to Zhongzhou, the core place of the Xuepo Continent where the eight major families are located, which is not recorded by the Xiao family at all.

After that, you can wait for your strength to recover, and then go to Zhongzhou for a walk.

To put it bluntly, New Oriental is just a springboard for itself.

……

After half a day of flying, the griffin slowly descended from the sky, and the fog was gradually passed through, revealing the situation inside in front of Lin Li's eyes.

The staggering outline of a city slowly appeared in the mist.

Even if you are in the sky, you still can't fully capture the whole city, so you can see how huge the area of this city is.

The griffons flock outside the high walls of the city, and on the high walls, there are five golden characters written - New Oriental City!

Because I 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 all have a great time at New Oriental."

……

"You can help girls carry their luggage for free." - There's another one in the corner.

If you have another phone card, you can let Lin Limeng go back to college.

As everyone got down from the griffin, under the wide open city gate, a middle-aged team led by an old man slowly walked over.

"These are ......" Seeing that the people around him stopped moving, Lin Li stopped moving forward, and asked the people around him in a low voice.

"The first is the dean of the outer courtyard of our New Oriental School, the dean of the ear soul, who has reached the end of the "second semester of high school" and is a half-step "sophomore" strong person, you should have heard of our New Oriental vocational high school path, but the dean of the ear is a real "high school student"!

The latter are the deans of the outer courtyard......"

While standing in place and waiting, Ruolin was briefing all the new students on the situation.

"Later, the dean will give a speech, and everyone will listen carefully."

There was a gasp around them, after all, for them, "high school students" are absolutely difficult to touch, but today, they are in front of their eyes, and they even have to communicate with themselves.

"Welcome to your new class.

You defeated your peers and got the ticket to New Oriental, and you have finally had a decent harvest after studying hard!

The young you have chosen New Oriental, and New Oriental has also chosen the youthful you!

You are the fresh blood of New Oriental and one of the most important components of New Oriental!

……”

The old man glanced around, smiled kindly, and spoke passionately in his welcome.

Everyone looked up at the old man very seriously and felt a surge of enthusiasm.

Except for one person.

Not only did he not feel his blood boiling, but he felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

Bristling.

His eyes widened suddenly, and he subconsciously lowered his head immediately, without any visual collision with the old man.

Because of this voice, he was familiar - the man in black.

There is no difference, the timbre of the old man is exactly the same.

Then he realized that he would look very abrupt by doing so, and quickly raised his head, changed his eyes to enthusiasm, and stared at the ear and soul like everyone else.

The eyes of the ear and soul, the only part of the man in black that day was exposed, can also coincide perfectly.

The ear soul was still stating his welcome speech as a freshman, but Lin Li couldn't hear what he was saying at all, because his brain was brainstorming.

New Oriental seems to be right, it may not be simply a springboard, here, you may be able to get more information.

In the original book, Canaan Academy and the Soul Clan's Soul Hall did not have any cooperative relationship, and they were even rivals.

And now, these God's perspective information is meaningless, because the dean of the outer courtyard has actually become a soul clan in the dungeon.

I'm afraid it's not called an ear soul, but a soul ear.

This is obviously the system's tampering with the copy, New Oriental has been infiltrated by the soul clan, and he can't trust any teacher here.

But for what purpose?

The reason why he killed himself and Lailuo was because the two of them broke the cognitive barrier and triggered the Heavenly Dao's peep at Lailuo, and the ear soul immediately rushed to Utan City from the border of the empire where New East was located and killed the two.

Very efficient.

After thinking about the purpose of the soul clan with the goal of "destroying all those who break the cognitive barrier", Lin Li thought that the logic seemed to be clear.

Since the Soul Clan is so skilled in dealing with people who break the cognitive barrier, it proves that this copy, I'm afraid that there are aborigines who can take the initiative to break it?

The man in black once said, "If you can do this step in this kindergarten stage, you will be in trouble for the future", which is similar to the words of strangling geniuses.

Will there be more and more 'geniuses' who can break this barrier by relying on their own opinions?

Isn't it faster and more convenient to establish a New Oriental School and accommodate talents?

Oh no, I'm in a concentration camp!

An idea of grass suddenly popped into Lin Li's mind.

Earlier, the welcome of the ear soul had reached the climax of the end, and he poured academic power into his voice and said loudly:

"Today you are the fragrance of peach and plum, tomorrow you are the pillars of New Oriental, "youth is my teacher, I am a young friend", let us learn from each other, promote each other, and work hard for the rise of New Oriental! ”

This kind of remark always feels a little ironic in Lin Li's ears at this moment.

"Okay, I'll take a look at the strength of your batch." Ear Soul smiled and nodded, then said.

"Yes, yes, "Kindergarten", "Kindergarten", "Preschool", "Preschool", ......" Earsoul's gaze swept over everyone he hadn't seen, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Until the forest stands.

"Huh? How can there still be an "illiterate"? The ear soul's gaze locked on Lin Li, "And it doesn't seem like a child." ”

The people around him subconsciously let go of their bodies, and opened a path between the ears and souls and the sight of Lin Li.

Lin Li: "......"

How did you score two goals?

"Report to the dean," Ruolin stepped forward and said, "This is one of the freshmen I recruited in Utan City, Yu Nian, age 24, but his own strength has reached the end of the second semester of the third year, and his talent meets the requirements, and he is not "illiterate". ”

】

"Oh, really? For more than a few years, is there any magic weapon on your body that hides 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's like being a clip, it sounds completely different from usual, isn't it?

Wait, Wang Qing realized a possibility!

- In order to win the favor of the dean of the outer courtyard for more than a few years, he is pretending to be tender now, right? The dean is not as good as Longyang!

It's disgusting!

Old thing, damn it.

——What Wang Qing didn't know was that Lin Li's inner thoughts, at this moment, reached a perfect agreement with him.

It's just that the old thing in Lin Li's heart is the dean who smiled kindly in front of him.

"Old thing, damn it."
