Chapter 106 Elimination of Zhao Jixing

Following the instructions given by Han Yan on the Tian Tong Mirror, Lin Zhao found his residence, a small courtyard that looked very elegant.

In the center of the courtyard stands a locust tree as thick as a person's outstretched arms, with clusters of locust blossoms swaying gently in the wind, bringing a delicate fragrance.

"Sister Zhao Zhao." Ming Yue walked out from another room in the courtyard.

Lin Zhao asked with delight, "Will we live together?"

Mingyue nodded and said, "It was arranged by Teacher Hanyan. Besides me, there was Qu Shu and a boy I don't know. Teacher Hanyan said we would participate in the Continental Grand Competition together."

Disciples who can participate in the Mainland Grand Competition with them?

Lin Zhao asked, "Are they Zhao Jixing and Ji Xiao?"

“It wasn’t them.” Mingyue walked to Lin Zhao’s side. “I heard from Brother Qu Shu that it was a very handsome boy.”

A very handsome boy? A name popped into Lin Zhao's mind.

As if in response to her wishes, the handsome young man with a high ponytail opened the door and greeted her, but seemed not to see Mingyue standing to the side.

Lin Zhao nodded as a greeting. Hearing the commotion, Mingyue asked Lin Zhao curiously, "Does Sister Zhao Zhao know him?"

Lin Zhao didn't hide anything, and she was also curious about Su Ye's identity. "We completed that mission together before. But even if he's a master at the early Golden Core stage, it's not suitable for us to participate in the Continental Grand Competition together, is it?"

Wasn't it said that apart from the top five freshmen of this year, all the other candidates were experts in the Golden Core stage from the outer academy?

As far as she knew, there were no fewer than a hundred Golden Core cultivators at the outer courtyard of the South China Sea Academy.

"I heard he was also a freshman this year, but he didn't participate in the freshman competition, so he was one of the top five freshmen."

Lin Zhao said, "So that means one of us can't go?"

Mingyue nodded: "Probably me? After all, I can't compare to Brother Qu Shu, let alone the others."

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment: "Let's see how the rules are for selection. If possible, it would be better if our team had more people for the five freshman spots."

The past few days back at the academy were a rare period of peace for Lin Zhao since her break with Cloud Peak. During these days, she continuously consolidated her cultivation, repeatedly practicing the first two levels of the Heavenly Phoenix Steps that she had already mastered. After gaining a clearer understanding of her own strength, the message on the Heavenly Mirror arrived as scheduled.

"Let us and Su Ye, the six of us, go to Arena Number Ten." After exchanging information, Lin Zhao and Ming Yue immediately guessed what the school meant.

Mingyue took it all in stride. This year's freshmen at the South China Sea Academy were the strongest in a thousand years. Even though she hadn't made it into the Continental Grand Competition, it was only a slight regret.

She's only fifteen; she'll have plenty of opportunities in the future.

"Since they've called us over, there must be an opportunity to take action," Lin Zhao reassured her. "Let's go take a look first."

When the two arrived at arena number ten, they saw that Qu Shu and the others had been standing there for who knows how long.

"You've arrived so quickly, Prince Zhao. Your teacher has been waiting for you," Zhao Jixing said with a sarcastic smile. Lin Zhao glanced at him. Ever since Zhao Jixing made contact with the senior student, he had been constantly causing trouble and stirring up trouble. Her silence did not mean she had no objections; she simply lacked a legitimate opportunity to deal with him.

Han Yan also disapproved of Zhao Jixing's personality, but as a teacher, she couldn't make things difficult for a talented student, so she simply said, "Now that everyone's here, let's get down to business."

Zhao Jixing swallowed back the words he wanted to say, and could only stare at Lin Zhao with the coldness of a venomous snake.

Han Yan said, "You all know why I called you here, right? This year's freshmen have a total of five spots to participate in the Continental Grand Competition. Originally, the top five from the freshmen competition were the five of you, but this year there is actually another freshman, Su Ye. Su Ye's cultivation level is currently at the Golden Core stage, so there has been a dispute. The academy's idea is for the six of you to compete again to determine the top five."

Zhao Jixing was the first to speak up: "What kind of competition is this? Can't we just let the weakest fighter get out?"

Han Yan said coldly, "How you compete is your business. Now this arena is yours, and you are only allowed to have one-on-one duels."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared, and before anyone could react, a blue shadow had already flung Zhao Jixing away.

By the time the others reacted, Zhao Jixing had already crashed heavily onto the stone pillar of the arena, vomiting blood and completely losing his fighting ability.

"Now the one with the lowest combat strength has come out." Lin Zhao wiped his hands, met Zhao Jixing's resentful and fearful gaze, and said with a smile.

Looking at this scene, Ji Xiao said, "Your ruthless methods are somewhat contrary to the principles that your Lin family has always advocated."

The Lin family has always maintained a reputation for fighting evil and upholding justice, as well as for benevolence and charity, but Lin Zhao's actions are surprisingly ruthless.

"I've only learned a few superficial things from your Ji family." Lin Zhao turned around, his eyes gleaming. "If you also want to try, Lin Zhao will gladly oblige."

Ji Xiao's lips twitched. He couldn't even see Lin Zhao's move clearly just now, so how could he still be Lin Zhao's opponent?
"Enjoy your time while you can. Once Wan Tang returns, your fleeting glory in this deposed phoenix will come to an end."

Lin Zhao replied bluntly, "I should be returning that line to your Ji family. After the Continental Grand Competition, I will go and retrieve what is mine. Your Ji family's Blood Phoenix should take note."

Ji Xiao sneered, seemingly mocking Lin Zhao's boastful words.

After all, even Lin Zhao now is no match for the Blood Phoenix of the Ji family.

Han Yan stepped onto the stage, handed Zhao Jixing to the disciple accompanying him, and told him to go to the alchemy department to heal his injuries. Then she said, "The continental competition will be held in about half a month. Three days later, there will be a meeting of the younger generation of Tianhuang Continent. At that time, you will meet the leading figure of our academy's outer court, who will lead the negotiations with other forces on the continent."

Lin Zhao carefully pondered Han Yan's meaning, and upon returning, he went on a buying spree of spiritual herbs and foods at the Tian Tong Mirror.

When it is uncertain whether the competition will be held in a populated environment, all preparations must be made.

Over the course of three days, Lin Zhao took Mingyue and Qushu to buy a lot of things, almost filling their respective spatial rings to the brim.

Three days passed in a flash, and on the day of the negotiation, Lin Zhao and the others, following Han Yan's guidance, met the top student of this year's Foreign Languages ​​Department.

He was a very amiable-looking young man. He wasn't particularly handsome, but his demeanor was very pleasant, which was quite different from the approachable person Zhao Jixing had pretended to be.

"These must be the top five freshmen, right? The younger generation is truly surpassing the older one." The young man said with a smile, "I am honored that the academy thinks highly of me and has appointed me as the captain of this year's continental competition. Let me first introduce myself to all my fellow students. My name is Zou Zihan, and I am at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage."
