After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 154 The Noob System
After the Qiongyuan Tower was climbed on all the continents, it slowly disappeared from everyone's sight. Lin Zhao stared at the spot where the Qiongyuan Tower disappeared, lost in thought.

Qu Shu asked, "What are your thoughts on Tianhuang choosing you?"

Lin Zhao asked Ning Wengui, "What are the usual rules for the Heavenly Phoenix Selection?"

Ning Wengui said, "It's a test of aptitude. The resource allocation is determined based on the aptitude score. That's why people from different factions sometimes prefer to choose those with lower strength but higher talent."

Lin Zhao understood.

No wonder the Continental Grand Competition starts from the Golden Core stage. After all, the initial manifestation of talent begins at the Golden Core stage, and the gap in talent at each subsequent stage will become increasingly larger. Only true geniuses can break through to the legendary Tribulation Transcending stage.

Lin Zhao said, "Then the remaining Yuan Yang Hui Golden Pills on our side are the candidates."

Ning Wengui said, "However, there is a limit to the number of people allowed; only three people are permitted to go to the Heavenly Phoenix Platform for testing."

Su Bai looked at Lei Yuanzi: "What do you think?"

Lei Yuanzi said, "Although Brother Zhou and I are both Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core cultivators, we both understand that with our qualifications, it would be difficult for us to surpass the scores of Mo Zun and Han Xuan in the Heavenly Phoenix Selection."

Zhou Delong nodded: "The team leader must go on stage. As for the remaining two candidates, Brother Lei and I both think Qu Shu and Su Ye are better choices."

Lin Zhao thought so too, but the fact that the South China Sea Academy would occupy two spots would greatly affect the flow of resources to the Tianhuang Continent, with more resources going to the South China Sea Academy.

She was just worrying about how to persuade the other two major powers, but unexpectedly they spoke up themselves.

Seemingly sensing that Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, Lei Yuanzi smiled helplessly and said, "Although we all want to fight for more benefits for our own forces, it's better to prioritize the overall situation at this time."

Only when the Heavenly Phoenix Continent obtains more resources can their respective forces benefit.

Having reached their current level of cultivation and status, Lei Yuanzi and Zhou Delong will not take the wrong stance on matters of principle.

Soon, the Heavenly Phoenix Platform, where the second round of the competition would take place, slowly came into view.

Mo Zun and Han Xuan said something, and Lin Zhao saw that the people who formed the four-way alliance had actually changed all their flags to the flags of the Peacock Continent.

Su Bai frowned: "What are they trying to do?"

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Zhao understood their thoughts: "They probably realized from the recent Qiongyuan Tower that going their own way would only lead to humiliation, so they plan to send all their manpower to the Peacock Continent to compete with us."

Of course, the main reason why the four-party alliance did not do this in the first level of the Qiongyuan Tower was that they wanted to increase the difficulty of the Qiongyuan Tower by using more opportunities to climb it. Unfortunately, this idea was ruined by Lin Zhao.

After understanding the idea behind the four-way alliance, Su Ye was disgusted by their numerous tricks and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this cheating? Does Tianhuangyuan allow it?"

Lin Zhao said, "It's obvious that Tianhuangyuan allows it. After all, who knew that the disciples from the other three continents would be so selfless as to support the Peacock Continent together?"

Even so, Lin Zhao understood that the other side's actions must have been premeditated. The higher-ups of the Four Continents were truly going to great lengths to defeat the Heavenly Phoenix Continent.

"Fortunately, the disciples of the South China Sea Academy have grown up this time." Lei Yuanzi said with relief, "Otherwise, we would not only have lost at the Qiongyuan Tower, but we would also have been crushed in the Tianhuang Selection."

Lin Zhao sighed, "More than that."

The four-party alliance has been constantly planning and scheming since entering Tianhuangyuan, and so far, they have only launched a counterattack once.

Given the opponent's endless tricks, Lin Zhao was genuinely worried that Tianhuang might not let him take the stage this time.

Fortunately, there shouldn't be too many problems if Ning Wengui takes the stage, right?
Lin Zhao thought uncertainly.

Lin Zhao looked at Ning Wengui: "After we go up to the Heavenly Phoenix Platform, safety should be our top priority."

Ning Wengui nodded.

Each continent planted its flag on the platform in front of it. Based on the flags planted, about thirty high platforms slowly rose up. On each platform was a towering stone pillar, and on the stone pillar were carved different divine birds according to the characteristics of each continent.

Smoke swirled around the stone pillar, and the phantom of a divine phoenix danced gracefully amidst the seven-colored glow of the sunset. Lin Zhao, observing this scene that had appeared in just a few breaths, exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being chosen by the Heavenly Phoenix."

Ning Wengui gave Zhou Delong some instructions, then rode his sword up to the platform. Following him, Qu Shu and Su Ye also flew up to the platform on their swords.

Ning Wengui landed on the platform, looked at the stone pillar in front of him, and slowly walked forward.

Su Ye and Qu Shu did not follow immediately.

Qu Shu glanced calmly at Su Ye, who had been watching him, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Su, are you curious about me?"

Su Ye maintained her distance from him and said, "I was just wondering who you are, that even my grandfather told me not to offend you."

If Qu Shu is merely a holy son of Penglai Holy Land, there's no reason why the elders of the South China Sea Academy would be so wary of him.

Qu Shudao said, "I also have elders in my family who are high-ranking officials at Nanhai College."

Su Ye raised an eyebrow. Although she didn't believe it, she didn't ask any further questions and followed Ning Wengui's footsteps.

Qu Shu looked at his back, pondered for a moment, looked around, and then sighed.

"Host, host, please don't block me..."

As soon as he re-established contact with the system, he heard a somewhat listless voice from the system, and Qu Shu subconsciously wanted to block it again.

"Host! You've broken the seal!"

The system keenly sensed Qu Shu's behavior and immediately asked with delight, "Is there anything I can do to help you?! Tell me!"

Qu Shu said, "Check if there are any abnormalities in the surrounding area."

System: "...Host, is it possible that this is a romance system and doesn't offer the features that only post-apocalyptic survival systems provide?"

Qu Shu said "Oh," and then said, "Goodbye."

"Wait!" the system screamed. "I'm requesting permission from my superiors! Host, calm down!"

Qu Shu asked in confusion, "Why haven't I seen you apply to your superiors before?"

The system smugly declared, "Because this plane has completely stabilized and the female lead has successfully given back, my superiors have granted me some minor privileges. So, host, as long as the female lead becomes even stronger, we can also earn points!"

Qu Shu couldn't stand seeing the guy who was sabotaging her so happy, so she reminded him, "But Lin Zhao already knows about you. She'll probably come back to deal with you and me as soon as she has a spare moment."

Upon hearing this, the system exclaimed in alarm, "Don't say that! I'm not like those bad systems! I only graduated from system school less than two years ago; I'm a pure system!"

Qu Shu: "..."

Now I finally understand why this guy is such a jerk.

The system waited dejectedly for the results of its application to its superiors, only to discover with dismay that it had not achieved any results since it began performing tasks. All the points it had accumulated in its previous life had been spent on the host's rebirth, and it still owed the mainframe a considerable amount.

Now that they've finally managed to accumulate some savings, it's all thanks to the female protagonist of this world who managed to get herself together.

"There probably isn't another romance system as pathetic as me, right?" The heroine-conquering system sighed sadly, "It actually has to rely on being carried by the person it's trying to conquer."

After receiving the permissions granted by the system, Qu Shu asked thoughtfully, "Are you really the Heroine Conquest System?"

The system said, "That's right, all my tasks revolve around serving the female lead, but I can't be bound to her..."

After confirming the system's functions, Qu Shu once again silenced its self-talk.
