Soul Devouring Sword Master

Lin Xiao touched his nose. Facing many murderous eyes, he looked helpless. He couldn't help but sigh that Murong Shi's popularity was really high. When Murong Shi saw Lin Xiao's embarrassment, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly, her beautiful eyes shining like stars.

Soon, all the points were counted.

Nangong He had an extra ranking in his hand. When he saw the top ten rankings, he was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down and waved his hand, and the waves blocking the square dissipated.

At this time, Nangong He stood in the center of the square, and behind him were more than 400 young men and women.

Outside the square, everyone's eyes were focused immediately, eager to know the ranking of the preliminary exam. After all, many people bet a lot of spirit stones.

"The ranking of this preliminary exam is now announced as follows."

"First, the top ten rankings."

"Tenth place, River College, Zhang Yao."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a warm cheer in the stands where the River students were.

"Ninth place, Bai Family, Bai Yunfei."

Cheers rang out from the direction of the Bai family.

"Eighth place, Wenjian Academy, Lin Dan"

When Lin Xiao's name was heard, the crowd was silent, because many people had never heard of this name.

"Lin Xiao, do you know who he is? Why haven't you heard of him?"

"I don't know either, is he a student from Wenjian Academy?"

"Wow, this is actually a dark horse, but unfortunately, I didn't bet on it, what a pity!"

Amid the discussion, Chen Fan widened his eyes, looking incredible, and after a while, he suddenly shouted, "I bet on it, I bet on it, haha..."

Chen Fan's sudden shouting made many people around him look at him with strange faces. Chen Fan coughed dryly, seeming a little embarrassed, but his face still couldn't hide the excitement.

He bet on it, and he had an unexpected success. With a payout of 1 to 400, he only bet on one medium-grade spirit stone, but he would get 400 medium-grade spirit stones, which was definitely a big profit.

At this moment, Chen Fan was so happy that he wanted to run up to the stage and hug Lin Xiao and kiss him. He was so excited!

In the stands, Lan Yan'er was also shocked, covering her mouth with her jade hands, "This guy is ranked eighth, so amazing."

On the side, Lan Ruobing was also quite shocked, but after the shock, she looked at Lan Yan'er beside her and sighed in her heart. She originally thought that Lin Xiao and Lan Yan'er were a good match and wanted to match them up. Now it seems that Lan Yan'er has been completely left behind by Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao's growth rate is too fast!

On the side of the Sword-asking Academy, many disciples were also confused, because there seemed to be no such name on the inner courtyard list. If it was a dark horse, it would be too dark, without any signs.

"Lin Xiao, have you heard of this name?"

The dean of the Sword-asking Academy, Zhang Jing asked.

"Never heard of it,"

A vice-president shook his head, "This person doesn't seem to be on the inner courtyard list, but he actually got the eighth place in the preliminary exam, which is really rare. This is probably unprecedented in the history of the Sword-asking Academy."

"It seems that this should be a dark horse. On the last Pride List, I remember a disciple who ranked after the 50th on the inner courtyard list also made it into the top ten of the preliminary exam, but this Lin Xiao seems to be even more amazing, and his name is not even on the inner courtyard list."

"Anyway, this is a good thing for my Sword-asking Academy. After returning, I will directly promote him to a core disciple and focus on training him."

Zhang Jing smiled lightly, with a bit of joy on his face. Every year on the Pride List, there will be some dark horses emerging, perhaps because they have obtained some kind of adventure or awakened their talents. This is a very normal thing, but dark horses like Lin Xiao are rare. Of course, this is definitely a good thing for the Sword-asking Academy.

In the back row, when Bai Feng heard Lin Xiao's name appear in the top ten, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of surprise. He originally thought that Lin Xiao could rank in the top 100 and enter the re-examination, which was already very good and in line with his expectations. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao directly won the eighth place, which really made him overjoyed.

"Quiet,"

Nangong He waved his hand to suppress the noise around him, and then continued,

"Seventh place, Cangfeng College, Li Mu."

"Sixth place, Wenjian College, Xiao Fan."

"Fifth place, Royal College, Nangong Yun."

"Fourth place, Wenjian College, Chen Wang."

"Third place, Wenjian College, Liu Feng."

"Second place, Royal College, Nangong Jian."

"First place, Royal Family, Murong Shi."

The rankings at the back were relatively normal, and the top few were also the favorites to win the championship that the outside world had been discussing.

However, many people thought that the first place would be Nangong Jian, but they didn't expect it to be Murong Shi.

When Murong Wu heard that Murong Shi was the top of the preliminary exam, he was overjoyed and excited. Murong Shi's existence gave the declining royal family hope of rising.

On the other hand, after hearing the ranking, Nangong Jian's face was extremely ugly. Originally, the top spot should have been his, but unfortunately, the Xuanling Realm Demon Pill was snatched away by Murong Shi.

If it weren't for a son who was meddling in other people's business, he could have completely snatched the Demon Pill back. Nangong Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his cold eyes swept towards Lin Xiao, with murderous intent.
