Soul Devouring Sword Master

On the high platform, Xu Yan frowned and said, "Dean Dugu, this kind of thing requires evidence. You, Lin Xiao, killed someone from your Dugu family. What evidence do you have?"

"Hmph, I found several bodies of Dugu family members in the Demonic Forest yesterday. All their storage rings were gone. They must have been taken away by someone."

On the side, Lan Ruobing said coldly, "That may not be done by Lin Xiao. Maybe it was someone else, or it could be killed by a monster. Someone else happened to pass by and took the storage ring."

"More than 2,900 points. I would like to ask everyone here, is it possible that he found it by himself? He must have killed many fellow disciples and took away their points. It must be like this." Dugu Hong said in a deep voice.

Lan Ruobing glanced at Dugu Hong coldly, "Dean Dugu, it is impossible to make a decision based on your words alone. Without evidence, everything is just your own subjective conjecture."

"That's right, Dean Dugu, you have no evidence to prove that Lin Xiao killed someone from the Dugu family. No matter how much you have, it's useless." Xu Yan said in a deep voice.

"Okay, in that case, I question Lin Xiao's ranking in the qualifying round and ask for an investigation. I am the dean and have the power to do so." Dugu Hong suddenly said.

Hearing this, the deans all frowned.

According to the rules of the academy, the deans and tutors have the right to question the ranking in the qualifying round, but more than half of the tutors and deans must agree to do so.

But Dugu Hong is the dean of the external academy and has the right to decide half of the votes with one vote, that is, Dugu Hong's one vote is equivalent to the votes of half of the deans and tutors.

In addition, Dugu Hong is the dean of the King Kong Academy. With this vote, basically no one can object to all the decisions he makes.

Xu Yan frowned deeply. If Lin Xiao's ranking is really investigated as Dugu Hong said, Lin Xiao will not be considered the first place in the qualifying round for the time being, and the corresponding reward will not be given to him.

Moreover, no one knows how long it will take to investigate such a matter. With Dugu Hong's scheming, he will definitely procrastinate and delay the investigation on the grounds that the investigation is unsuccessful. The results may not be announced for a month, two months, or even half a year, and Lin Xiao will definitely not get the reward.

This Dugu Hong, relying on his position as the dean of the external college, abuses his power for personal gain and uses such despicable means to deal with a freshman. It is really shameless, Xu Yan gritted his teeth and felt unfair for Lin Xiao.

On the other side, Lan Ruobing also frowned and was about to speak when a voice suddenly came out.

"As the chief dean of the outer courtyard, you have gone to great lengths to target a new disciple. Isn't that too narrow-minded?"

A cold voice came, and then a figure walked out of the crowd calmly. It was Lin Dan

"How dare you!" Dugu Hong looked at Lin Xiao coldly, "Lin Xiao, you have no respect for your elders. You dare to talk to me like this. Everyone, you have all seen that Lin Xiao is so bad. I think my Dugu family's children must have been killed by him."

"Dean Dugu, if you want to target me, just be direct. Don't beat around the bush with these useless things," Lin Xiao said indifferently, "Well, what do you want me to do to recognize my ranking!"

Hearing this, the freshmen in the audience exclaimed. They didn't expect Lin Xiao to dare to say this in front of Dugu Hong. You know, Dugu Hong is the chief dean of the outer courtyard, with great power, and Lin Xiao is just a freshman.

But on second thought, Lin Xiao was the first in this qualifying competition, and he also broke the record of Wenjian Academy. He was the first freshman at present, and he would definitely be the focus of the academy in the future. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely become the backbone of the academy in the future. He dared to do this because he had the confidence.

Now, all the focus was on Dugu Hong and Lin Xiao. These new disciples looked like they were watching a good show. One was the dean of the outer courtyard, and the other was the first freshman. What kind of sparks could they create when they confronted each other? It was really interesting!

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Dugu Hong smiled coldly in his heart. What he said just now was to force Lin Xiao out. Sure enough, Lin Xiao fell into the trap.

Young people are still young people after all.

Dugu Hong raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Okay, since you are like this, I will give you a chance to prove yourself, Liu Gang!"

As soon as the voice fell, a young man in his twenties rushed onto the high platform.

"Dean." Liu Gang saluted respectfully.

Dugu Hong nodded and glanced at Lin Xiao, "Liu Gang is a disciple of my Vajra Academy, with the combat power of the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Lin Xiao, if you can take on Liu Gang's three moves and prove your own strength, I will recognize your first place in the qualifying round."

"What do you think? Do you dare?" Dugu Hong said coldly, looking at Lin Xiao provocatively, obviously deliberately provoking Lin Dan

"How can this be! It's not fair at all," Xu Yan suddenly said, "Lin Xiao is just a freshman. Asking him to fight with an old disciple, isn't this bullying?"

On the other side, Lan Ruobing also said, "This Liu Gang is an old disciple of your Vajra Academy. He has been a student for at least two years. You asked him to fight with Lin Xiao, which is clearly bullying."

Dugu Hong smiled faintly, "That may not be the case. The first freshman in the history of the Sword-asking Academy has the strength to fight across levels. As the newcomer king, Lin Xiao naturally has to meet this condition, otherwise, he is not worthy of the first place in the qualifying round!"

Dugu Hong looked at Lin Xiao again, "What do you think, Lin Xiao, do you accept this challenge? Didn't you ask me to give you a chance? This is the chance. If you don't have confidence in your own strength, then go back and wait for the investigation."
