Soul Devouring Sword Master

In the stands, the eyes of major colleges and families were all focused on the center of the square, discussing what the rankings would be this time.

The direction of the Royal Academy was discussed by Dean Nangong Shi, as well as several other vice-presidents and elders.

"In this ranking, Nangong Jian and Nangong Yun are both strong contenders for the top three, especially Nangong Jian, who has a good chance of winning the top spot."

A vice-dean stroked his beard and smiled, obviously very confident in Nangong Jian and others.

"Yes, in addition, there are some other students who also hope to be on the pride list, or even the top ten. It's really exciting."

The other vice-dean also laughed.

"This time, our Royal Academy must surpass Wenjian Academy on the pride list, especially in the top ten seats, which is related to the quota to compete for the Canglan List."

Nangong Shiwei said slightly, obviously attaching great importance to this. The more people who enter the top ten seats, the more likely they are to be on the Canglan Ranking a year later. By then, with the help of the power of those super sects, it will be easy to dominate the entire star empire. .

At that time, even Wenjian Academy and Lingdan Pavilion had to surrender, otherwise, they would be dead.

On the other side of the stands, many senior officials of Wenjian Academy were also discussing.

"How many students from Wenjian Academy do you think can be on the pride list this time?"

Zhang Jing smiled lightly.

"Dean, one-third of the 100 people who passed the preliminary examination are students of my Wenjian Academy. If nothing else happens, Wenjian Academy must have the most number of people on the pride list."

A vice-dean laughed.

"Yes, among the thirty-six people on the pride list, I-Wenjian Academy definitely has the most, especially Liu Feng, Chen Wang and Xiao Fan, who are very hopeful to enter the top ten, or even compete for the top three. "

Another vice president said.

"What do you think of Lin Xiao?"

Zhang Jing suddenly asked. It was not that he paid much attention to Lin Xiao, but that he thought of this dark horse on a whim and asked casually.

"I checked the information about Lin Xiao. He has a good talent, but his cultivation level is too low. If you give him a few more years, he will definitely shine on the next pride list. But this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so. It’s a big deal.”

"I think so. It's great that Lin Xiao can reach this point, but I'm afraid that's all. If he can be in the top ten of the pride list, it will definitely be considered a miracle, but the probability of this is too high."

In the row behind, Bai Feng fell into deep thought after hearing what the deans were discussing. To be honest, from a superficial analysis, Lin Xiao's chances of being in the top ten of the pride list are indeed slim, but he always has a way. The feeling of not getting up, always feels that everything will not be so simple.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, Bai Feng shook his head and smiled, he will know the result soon.

At this time, a figure slowly walked onto the square. This person was dressed in a yellow robe and looked quite capable. His eyes were as deep as the sea and as sharp as a knife, making people afraid to look directly at him.

It was none other than the president of the Royal Academy and the imperial master, Nangong Shi.

The moment Nangong Shi appeared, the noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if they were shocked by his aura.

"Nangong Shi!"

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed with an edge. According to his adoptive father, his biological father Chu Feng was hunted down back then. Nangong Shi was involved in it and might know his father's current situation.

Nangong Shi walked slowly, with his hands behind his back. He was extremely calm, but it gave people an invisible sense of oppression, permeating the air like a tide. If someone was not firm-minded, he would probably fall to his knees on the spot.

"Nangong Shi's strength ranks among the top three in the Star Empire."

Lin Xiao whispered in his heart, "The two ancestors of the Dugu family are at the third level of the Xuanling Realm. They are already so terrifying. Nangong Shi's strength is still above them."

With his current strength, in Nangong Shi's eyes, he is probably no more than an ant. It is simply unrealistic to get news about his father from him.

However, Lin Xiao believes in his potential. Along the way, in more than a year, he has accomplished so many things that others thought were impossible, which also gave him a lot of confidence.

He believed that as long as he was given some time, he would surpass Nangong Shi sooner or later, and by then, he might be able to learn the whereabouts of his father.

"This re-examination of the pride list will take the form of a group duel. One hundred contestants will be divided into thirty-three groups. The first round will be in the form of a round-robin battle. The winner will get three points, the loser will get zero points, and each player will get a tie. Score one point, and the team with the most points in each group will advance to the 36th spot on the pride list.”

"The remaining sixty-seven people will compete in the second round, in the form of a one-on-one duel. The last three people left can obtain the other three places of the thirty-six seats."

This is done to ensure fairness as much as possible and avoid missing out. Even if you are unlucky and are drawn into a group with a particularly strong person, you will still have a chance to compete for the remaining seats after being eliminated.

"Now, according to the rankings in the preliminary examination, come to me to draw lots."

Nangong Shi said quietly.
