Soul Devouring Sword Master

On the stands, looking at the black-robed boy standing in the center, Li Ruolan held her chin with one hand, her beautiful eyes flickering, revealing a trace of admiration and appreciation. It has only been a year since we last met, and this guy has grown to this point.

It seems that my investment back then was very correct. Li Ruolan smiled slightly, and the smile was like fireworks blooming, as if the earth was eclipsed, and many young people around her looked at them with burning eyes and swallowed their saliva.

Fang Chen, who was standing aside, had an extremely gloomy face, holding his breath in his heart, unable to vent.

In the direction of the Sword-asking Academy, countless disciples looked at Lin Xiao on the square, their eyes were burning, their hearts were surging, and many people's faces were shining with excitement and admiration. They have already regarded Lin Xiao as an idol and a goal to catch up with in the future.

At the age of seventeen, he topped the list of pride. Not only in the Sword-asking Academy, but also in the entire Star Empire, this is unprecedented. This can be called a legend, a legend that has been widely spread by future generations.

Even some talented disciples of Wenjian Academy, who were at the top of the inner courtyard list, were always arrogant and proud. They admired and respected Lin Xiao in their hearts.

It was because Lin Xiao did what none of them could do, which was a miracle.

Outside the square, countless eyes fell on Lin Xiao. This 17-year-old black-robed boy, from being ignored in the first exam to emerging in the re-examination, was domineering and strong, and finally showed his edge and won the championship in one fell swoop, accomplishing what many people dared not think of.

Even in the hearts of many people, Lin Xiao was regarded as the first talent in the history of the Star Empire.

However, many people looked at Nangong Jian with a trace of contempt.

If it weren't for Nangong Shi's bias, the top spot would only belong to Lin Xiao. Nangong Jian got the top spot by relying on the Nangong family, while Lin Xiao relied entirely on his own strength.

In the hearts of many people, Lin Xiao is the real top spot.

Feeling the strange looks from the people around him, Nangong Jian's face looked very ugly. Although he was very eager to get the top spot, he still wanted to fight for it with his own strength, not to get this position by some means like this.

When Nangong Shi announced that he and Lin Xiao were tied for first place, Nangong Jian was also confused. Obviously, the Nangong family did not ask for his opinion and made a decision for him. This was not Nangong Jian's original intention.

But Nangong Shi was the dean of the Royal Academy, and the entire Nangong family followed his lead. Nangong Jian had no choice but to agree, so from beginning to end, he had nothing to do.

If possible, he would rather be the second place in an upright manner than to get the so-called top spot by improper means.

However, many things were not up to him. Even if he was the first talent of the Nangong family, he had to obey the arrangements of the family and put the interests of the family first.

Nangong Jian knew that the reason why Nangong Shi would rather bear the pressure from the outside world and fight for the title of first place for him was to let him get in touch with the elder of the Leiyu Sect.

If he could become the disciple of that elder, with the help of the power of the Thunder Prison Sect, he could easily destroy the Sword Questioning Academy and the Spiritual Pill Pavilion. Then, the Nangong family could dominate the Star Empire.

This is the future plan of the Nangong family, and Nangong Jian can only accept the arrangement.

With this, the competition for this year's Pride List came to an end.

This year's Pride List competition has seen the emergence of many outstanding talents, which can be said to be the most competitive in the history of the Pride List.

Among them, the most talked about is the black-robed teenager who entered the Pride List as a dark horse, and then made a strong counterattack all the way to the top of the list.

Whether it is the famous Nangong Three Heroes or the talented teenager of the Bai family, they all lost to Lin Xiao, adding a bit of legendary color.

Since then, the name of Lin Xiao has been known to everyone in the entire Star Empire, and it is also the goal that many young men and women strive for in their cultivation.

Even some shops selling elixirs hang Lin Xiao's portrait at the door, claiming that Lin Xiao's cultivation level increased greatly after taking the pills here, so that he could win the first place on the Pride List.

There are countless farces like this, which also reflect that Lin Xiao's popularity in the Star Empire is so high that he has even completely surpassed Nangong Jian.

This is the charm of the Pride List. As long as you have enough strength and talent, it is completely possible to make a splash and become famous in one fell swoop.

Lin Xiao is such an example. Yes, everything he has done and everything he has gained is exactly what countless young men and women in the entire Star Empire hope to happen to themselves.

After winning the first place on the Pride List, Lin Xiao was directly carried to the restaurant by the disciples of the Sword Questioning Academy. He got drunk and was thrown into the air by them in a daze, up and down, again and again. The dizzy and dreamy feeling made him unforgettable for a lifetime.

Dean Zhang Jing, as well as other vice deans and elders, sat aside drinking and chatting. Watching these young people tossing around, they all showed a trace of relief on their faces.

Once upon a time, they were just like these guys, love to play, free and unrestrained, and uninhibited. They will never forget those passionate days.

Even now, they have passed the age of burning blood, when they see these vigorous faces, the blood in their bodies can't help but boil up, as if they have returned to their youth.

These vigorous guys are the pillars of the future of Wenjian Academy. Zhang Jing picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all, his eyes shining, and his duty is to protect these children's growth and Wenjian Academy!
