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

Chapter 166 Making a Request
Chen Xinyue, after all, was the next Holy Master carefully nurtured by the Yaochi Holy Land. She drew her sword, her movements swift and graceful, her cold blade flashing and slicing through the snow as she charged towards Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao raised his sword, feeling the power of Chen Xinyue's sword strike, and couldn't help but sigh that Chen Xinyue's sword strike was enough to threaten even a Golden Core cultivator below the Fifty Streams of Spirit.

Clearly, Chen Xinyue's initial proposal of this competition was not unfounded, but rather well-prepared.

Unfortunately, his spiritual foundation had already far surpassed fifty streams of spiritual energy.

To everyone else, Lin Zhao didn't use any spiritual techniques. She simply swung her sword lightly, just like when she was practicing swordsmanship, and accurately caught Chen Xinyue's long-prepared attack.

Lin Zhao's sword strike sent Chen Xinyue flying back dozens of meters before she regained her footing.

Once the impact on her body had completely dissipated, the light in her eyes also dimmed completely.

"I will give you what I promised." Chen Xinyue used her sword as a crutch to support herself as she slowly stood up.

"In addition, I will also advise Master to hand over the elders and disciples of Shen Yuhan's lineage in the Holy Land to the South China Sea Academy," Chen Xinyue said.

After she said this, the elder in charge of Yaochi Holy Land showed his disapproval: "Young Master, the elders and disciples of Shen Yuhan's lineage account for almost a third of Yaochi Holy Land's current manpower. Once we hand them over, we will really fall out of the ranks of the four holy lands."

It is now completely blocked by the South China Sea Academy, and it is only by relying on its remaining resources that it can barely be listed among the four holy lands.

Chen Xinyue curled her lips: "Given the current situation, wasn't this just a matter of time? Once these cancerous growths are removed, Yaochi Holy Land will be cleaner."

Although the elder still disagreed, she understood that Chen Xinyue, as the young master with the talent to open the Yanghui Gate, would inevitably take over the position of Yaochi Holy Master in the future, so her words had almost determined the future situation.

Lin Zhao could understand Chen Xinyue's courage to undergo bone-scraping treatment. With such a young master in Yaochi Holy Land, it wouldn't be difficult for her to rise again.

"I will go to Yaochi Holy Land to retrieve it after I have finished dealing with matters at the academy."

Upon hearing this, Han Yan added, "I'll go with you."

Although the Yaochi Holy Land was sealed off, Lin Zhao was going there alone. Who knew if someone inside might be desperate and try something rash?

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao thanked Han Yan, saying, "Thank you, teacher."

Han Yan patted her shoulder, and even with her usually cold personality, she had a hint of joy on her face: "You are a great contributor to the academy this time, so I think the academy will invest more in you. Also, you can enter the inner academy after reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage."

When the topic of entering the inner courtyard came up, Lin Zhao looked a little embarrassed, but she didn't say anything.

After parting ways with the other forces on the Tianhuang Continent, Han Yan led her team back to the main gate of the South China Sea Academy. In the distance, she saw a large, dark group of people waiting at the gate.

Han Yan turned to Lin Zhao and said, "We've been waiting for you."

Lin Zhao looked into the distance, then lifted his foot, taking a step back even though he was walking forward.

"I'll enter the academy through the side gate."

Jin Ya grabbed her arm and said, "What are you doing? Isn't it more fun with lots of people? Come on, let's go together."

It has to be said that, apart from Han Yan, only Jin Ya could keep Lin Zhao in check in this team.

……

When Lin Zhao emerged from the crowd looking pale and sickly, I was completely numb.

She never imagined that these students from the foreign language department had gone so far as to collect even a single strand of her hair.

Shaking his hands, which were a little sore from signing autographs, Lin Zhao, Qu Shu, Zou Zihan, and the others followed Han Yan to the conference room of the academy's senior management.

As they pushed open the door and entered, Vice Dean Mo Ya, who was at the head of the group, turned her head and looked at Lin Zhao. She smiled and said, "It seems that our great hero has already met his fan club?"

Lin Zhao smiled wryly and bowed to the several high-ranking members of the academy. He then led his disciples to sit in the empty seats reserved for them.

Once they were seated, Mo Ya raised her hand.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business," Xiao Yuantian said, getting straight to the point. "Based on your performance in the Continental Grand Competition, the academy has decided to reward you for your contributions."

Although Lin Zhao didn't know what the academy would give, he couldn't help but feel a little excited after noticing that Qu Shu beside him was interlacing his fingers with great interest.

"Why don't we let the students participating in the competition go to the Treasure Pavilion and choose what they want?" the white-browed elder suggested with a smile. Mo Ya nodded approvingly: "Apart from Lin Zhao, Qu Shu, Su Ye, Zou Zihan, Ji Xiao, and Ming Yue, all other disciples can go to the Treasure Pavilion and choose one treasure they want. As for the six of you, you can tell us what you want, and the academy will do its best to fulfill your request within its capabilities."

Zou Zihan looked around and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony, Vice Dean. I've wanted Master's white jade chess set for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuantian glared fiercely at the disciple.

Mo Ya was surprised that Zou Zihan would make such a request, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Director Xiao, the academy will compensate you for your losses."

Xiao Yuantian reluctantly nodded, not forgetting to mutter a curse at Zou Zihan: "You brat."

Su Ye couldn't think of anything he wanted for the time being. His grandfather was a respected elder of the academy, and he could get whatever the academy had. He really didn't need to make any requests.

"If you can't think of anything, you can keep it for now and bring it up later when you do."

Everyone present knew Su Ye's identity perfectly well, Mo Ya said with a smile.

Su Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Xiao and Ming Yue were alright; after a brief moment of thought, they each asked for a treasure suitable for their cultivation.

Qu Shu, however, had a clear objective: "I've heard that the academy has an ancient tree from Cangshan Mountain that can completely conceal one's aura. I, a junior, would like a small piece of it."

The expressions on the faces of all the senior executives changed upon hearing this request.

Vice Dean Mo Ya remained silent for a long time before finally smiling and sighing, "As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. He asked for one of the academy's most precious treasures right off the bat."

The ancient trees of Cangshan are sacred relics left over from ancient times. They can completely conceal the user's aura and can also be made into pills that allow the user to freely control any aura on their body without being limited by strength.

Don't think this ability is useless. For some rare and exotic beasts, the ancient trees of Cangshan Mountain are their life-saving treasures.

If there is any chance that they will not reveal their true forms in public, even a powerful immortal would find it difficult to detect their identities.

But this sacred object is non-renewable; once used, it's gone.

It's safe to say that only the South China Sea Academy in the entire Tianhuang Continent has something similar.

“But since the promise has been made, Elder Bai, you should take the child to retrieve it,” Vice Dean Mo Ya said, shaking her head.

After Qu Shu left, everyone's eyes were on Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao said, "The academy has already taken great care of me, so I shouldn't be making any requests..."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Xiao Yuantian interrupted her. "The academy supports you because you have potential. You have now proven to us that our choice was correct. You earned this opportunity yourself, not because the academy gave it to you."

Lin Zhao scratched his head: "Then I'll just say it directly? I want to take another two-year leave after entering the inner courtyard."

This request was quite surprising, and the expressions of the higher-ups changed.

Only Vice Dean Mo Ya smiled faintly: "Everyone, since the rewards that should be given have been given, you may leave on your own. Lin Zhao, you stay."

Lin Zhao nodded.

After most of the others had left, leaving only a few high-ranking officials and Lin Zhao in the venue, Vice Dean Mo Ya said, "You want to go to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, right?"

Lin Zhao's expression turned serious: "I must reclaim my Phoenix Fortune before my battle with the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable."

Xiao Yuantian frowned: "Do you know that even if you enter the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, your strength is only in the middle range among the younger generation, while Ji Wantang is one of the top geniuses of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent."

In other words, they are people on two different levels.

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "When I first entered the Continental Grand Competition, I was just at the bottom of the list."

Who can predict the future?

Although the chapter number was written incorrectly, I still updated it.
