Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 104 Rejection
"Let's go, the last level."

After introducing the situation of the last level of the assessment, Shen Yi brought a few people to a small rooftop above.

When you arrived here, the three Zhuoshi people were already standing there.

Zhuoshi stood in the center, with Old Li and Cai Yueer on either side of him.

Seeing that Cai Yue'er and the others had ugly expressions on their faces, who knew what this disgusting old witch would come up with next.

After Shen Yi saluted the three people, he stood aside.

The white-haired old man standing in the center stroked his white hair and said in a deep voice: "Lin Xingyu, I see that you have performed very well. I am Zhuo Shi, and my name is Chi Long. Are you willing to become my disciple?"

Lin Xingyu originally wanted to hear his evaluation, but there was such an unexpected turn. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master Muye, the leader of the Body Sect. I will not accept anyone else as my master anymore."

After hearing Lin Xingyu's answer, Zhuoshi was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Wu Changkong. You raised these children under your nose, so how come they all have a master?

After hesitating for a moment, Zhuo Shi continued, "You don't have to leave the Body Sect, but you can also become my teacher. Would you be willing?"

"I'm sorry, Teacher Makino is very nice to me. If I do this, I'm afraid he will be sad. There's no need to do that." Lin Xingyu said without hesitation.

Hearing Lin Xingyu's two unhesitating rejections, the others were a little surprised. The first time was fine, but Zhuoshi had taken the initiative to lower his requirements the second time.

"Forget it. Muye has accepted a good disciple. If you don't want to, forget it. If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can come to me."

Zhuo Shi continued, "You've performed very well in every area. Your overall perspective, leadership, and combat effectiveness are all very good. Overall, I give you a perfect score."

Tang Wulin and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this result. How could there be such a huge difference in character among those with the same title?

"Tang Wulin, come forward!"

Zhuo Shi spoke again, and waited until Tang Wulin reached the front before continuing:

"Your talent for adaptability and overall perspective is excellent, and your special bloodline power is also very good. I give you a ten."

Upon hearing the result, Tang Wulin bowed, thanked him, and returned to the team.

"Xie Xie."

Xie Xie walked forward and after hearing the old man's evaluation, he finally got a score of seven.

Then there was Xu Xiaoyan. "He has excellent talent and astrological martial spirit. He has fully utilized his abilities every time. He has great potential. 9 points."

After Xu Xiaoyan thanked him, he happily retreated.

In the end, only Gu Yue had not received any points. At this time, Zhuoshi stopped talking and looked at Cai Yue'er.

"Gu Yue!"

Hearing Cai Yue'er's voice, Gu Yue frowned slightly and walked forward. Lin Xingyu also frowned. Gu Yue has already passed, you can't give her a negative score.

Seeing Gu Yue step forward obediently, Cai Yue'er felt a flicker of satisfaction in her heart, and snorted coldly, saying:
"Gu Yue is arrogant, contradicts his teachers, only cares about himself and not the team, has no sense of the overall situation, only cares about himself, and is selfish. His overall score is negative five points."

Cai Yue'er's malicious comments made several people gasp in surprise, and Gu Yue also suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man.

Zhuoshi and Mr. Li also looked at Cai Yue'er in some surprise. The comprehensive evaluation range is from zero to ten. It would be fine if you gave them a zero score to let them pass, but why did you suddenly give them a negative score?

Lin Xingyu looked at Cai Yueer in shock. You are really outrageous. You can even get negative points.

Seeing that the situation had become like this, Zhuoshi decided to cooperate reluctantly.

"Lin Xingyu, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan, the four of you have been accepted into the academy. As for Gu Yue, you can leave now."

Seeing how they performed at the ninth level, Cai Yue'er thought that since they were so humble in giving up even precious soul bones to each other, they would definitely plead for Gu Yue.

In this way, if there are a few more tests in the future, you will still have the final say.

Looking at the few people who were about to explode, Lin Xingyu stepped forward and said:
"Why? Gu Yue performed very well. No matter where she went, there was nothing wrong. In the end, her overall score was passing. Why did you deduct her points?"

Lin Xingyu's words resonated with Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie. Indeed, Gu Yue had always behaved very politely and did what she was supposed to do no matter where she was.

Cai Yue'er sneered and said, "I am an elder of the Sea God Pavilion. I am the one who will judge who passes and who fails the assessment. If you are not strong enough, don't ask for explanation in front of me. If you want an explanation, wait until you become a Titled Douluo."

"If you guys were stronger than me, then everything you said would be right. Now that you are weaker than me, everything I say is right."

This argument, which emphasized strength alone, left Xu Xiaoyan and the others stunned. The underlying logic of society was laid bare, without any veil or warmth.

Lin Xingyu nodded: "Since you don't allow Gu Yue to enroll, then I won't go either. After all, we are a team."

Hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Gu Yue looked at him with some surprise. When she was in Class Zero, she had always been ambiguous with the others. She didn't expect that the captain would be the first to stand up at this time.

Lin Xingyu turned to look at the remaining people and said, "After seeing what happened here, who of you is willing to stay? Who is willing to go together?"

Lin Xingyu said this sincerely. After all, they have been together for more than three years. If he doesn't show some love at this time, the relationship between them will be very fragile, almost like it's made of plastic.

Moreover, he never expected that this old witch could create a negative score to disgust and torture them. Even though he had prepared himself mentally long ago, he couldn't hold it back at this time.

Several people came together.

Xu Xiaoyan walked over and hugged Gu Yue, then took Gu Yue's hand and said indignantly, "Captain, I'm leaving too. I didn't go to the Tianding Xingkong Soul Master Academy even though they offered me so many favorable conditions. I just wanted to be with everyone. I'm definitely leaving with everyone."

Xie Xie smiled and said, "There's no justice here, and they don't value us. How much can we learn if we stay here? Back then, at Donghai College, because the school valued us, we received treatment that even schools two levels better than Donghai College couldn't give us. Given our situation, if we went to other colleges, we might get better treatment than here."

Tang Wulin then said, "I'm coming too. We all came here together. Since the school was so unfair to Gu Yue today, maybe it will be our turn tomorrow." Seeing that everyone unanimously rejected Shrek Academy, Lin Xingyu instantly felt at ease. As long as he had a unified understanding internally and everyone could follow his footsteps, the rest would be easy.

Lin Xingyu said to Shen Yi, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, for troubling you today. We'll be leaving first."

After Lin Xingyu finished speaking, he planned to take a few people out.

Seeing this scene, Zhuoshi winked at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi said helplessly: "Wait a minute, this is your teacher Wu's teacher. Come and salute this teacher."

A few people reluctantly bowed to Zhuoshi.

Zhuo Shi couldn't help but say, "When you encounter something, use your brain more and be flexible. Think about why you are here. Don't always think about confrontation. Learn to beg. Don't be a fool and don't be stubborn."

At this point, Zhuo Shi couldn't help but glance at Cai Yue'er. Cai Yue'er was deliberately trying to irritate Gu Yue, making things difficult for these children. He was wrong not to stop her and even agreed to it.

He just hoped that he could give these kids a way out, that Cai Yue'er would step down quickly, and that the matter could be put behind them.

At the same time, Zhuo Shi was also full of complaints towards Cai Yue'er. "If you want to accept a disciple, let her in!"

There will be plenty of time to spend together in the future. No matter you appeal to their emotions, reason with them, or even tempt them with benefits, it's all fine. Aren't there plenty of ways? Why do you have to make things difficult for them now?

Lin Xingyu continued to imitate Wu Zhangkong's cold tone and said, "I'm sorry, I heard that nothing can be repeated for the first time or the second time, but never for the third time. We've already endured it twice, and this is the third time, so we'll leave first."

"Captain, something is wrong." Xie Xie said in a low voice.

As for what Cai Yue'er and Zhuoshi said, Tang Wulin had little experience, and Xu Xiaoyan was too well protected by her family. Xie Xie had already come to his senses and understood what the other party was hinting at.

Gu Yue also understood. Although she seldom interacted with others, after hearing what Xie Xie said, she immediately understood what tricks these people in front of her were playing.

After Lin Xingyu said goodbye to Shen Yi and Zhuoshi, he turned around and prepared to walk out, and the others followed suit.

Seeing this scene, Zhuoshi and Cai Yueer were a little panicked. "You stubborn guys, I don't believe that none of you understood. Don't you know how to do what you should do?" Zhuoshi shouted loudly.

Cai Yue'er suppressed her panic and said, "If they want to leave, let them go. Shrek Academy doesn't lack such people."

Seeing that the performance was about to collapse, Cai Yue'er was still adding fuel to the fire, so Zhuoshi immediately used his mental power to transmit a message.

"Stop talking and think about how to solve this later. Three times and still getting negative points! That's really a bit too much."

After Cai Yue'er calmed down, she didn't say anything else. If Gu Yue hadn't left, she would still have a chance in the future. But if he really left, she would have no chance at all.

Besides, these students were sent by Wu Changkong. If they were really angered and left, the academy would lose a few monsters, and Zhuo Shi would probably have a grudge against me in the future.

Watching a few people slowly walking down from this small rooftop.

"Wait a moment, kids. I have something to say." This is what Mr. Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said by using his soul power.

Lin Xingyu smiled and said to them, "Actually, there's one thing I haven't told you yet. I have a secondary professional teacher named Zhenhua. After we get out, no matter which college we go to, I can find a way for us."

Hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up: "Is it the legendary master craftsman?"

"Correct."

"That's settled! No matter which academy we go to, we can get the best treatment!" Tang Wulin suddenly felt excited. Although there was a strong voice in his heart telling him that this academy was the most suitable for him and he must stay here, he hesitated for a moment, and seeing that several people were about to leave, he decided to go together.

"How about going to Mingdu?" Xu Xiaoyan said with his eyes lighting up.

Hearing several people blatantly discussing which college to go to in the future, Cai Yue'er was completely panicked and looked at her two colleagues for help.

Seeing this, Shen Yi said softly, "For my sake, please stop and listen to what the teacher has to say."

Lin Xingyu and the other three stopped and said, "Seniors, do you have any instructions?"

Hearing that they were already addressing each other as seniors, Zhuo Shi sighed and said, "The academy was inconsiderate this time. They lowered your scores mainly because they saw that you were all the best students in this class, and they wanted to see your potential."

After hearing the apologies from several people, Lin Xingyu did not follow through and did not even offer any compensation. Isn't that too insincere?
Lin Xingyu shook his head and said, "Should geniuses be targeted? We just want a fair environment. Everyone has pride and will never be a monkey for others."

The world is silent for a moment.

After receiving Cai Yue'er's gaze, Elder Li sighed inwardly and said in a rather gentle tone, "We were inconsiderate of the children. Everyone makes mistakes. It's a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them."

As he spoke, Elder Li winked at Cai Yue'er frantically. After watching her expression change several times, he finally spoke: "This time, my expectations of you were too high. Gu Yue should have been a perfect score."

Hearing that Cai Yue'er didn't even say a word of apology, Lin Xingyu suddenly felt a little unhappy. What a condescending attitude.

"Okay, since Mr. Cai has said so, let's just leave it at that," Shen Yi advised.

Seeing that everyone except Lin Xingyu and Gu Yue had relaxed their expressions, Zhuoshi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at Lin Xingyu, breathing his last breath. He didn't expect that this little guy was Zhenhua's disciple. Muye was nothing, Zhenhua's network of contacts was quite wide.

Zhenhua is quite popular wherever he goes. If Zhenhua knew about this, Shrek would not be afraid, but things would be very troublesome, especially since Zhenhua's frequency of Tianduan has been increasing rapidly in recent years. It seems that even Super Douluo has the hope of obtaining a four-character battle armor.

Who doesn't want a four-character battle armor? You should know that you can use a four-character battle armor when you become a Titled Douluo, but most Super Douluos still have three-character battle armor. Occasionally, there are one or two people who have four-character battle armor. From this, you can see how precious the Tianduan metal is.

Sometimes if we have a bad relationship with him, I am afraid that many colleagues will blame the three of us when we return.

Lin Xingyu looked at the three of them and said, "Gu Yue's ten points are what she deserves. She even deserves the twenty points before that. And then there's the mental damage she suffered from playing tricks on us. Can this be solved by giving her another point?"
