A global zombie apocalypse has occurred, and you say the Taoist sequence is useless?

"So, I can completely meet the requirements for advancing to a higher level with both spiritual energy and physical strength at level 5!"

Xu Yi stroked his chin, deep in thought.

However, this is far from achieving Xu Yi's goal.

Psionic energy is like water, and the physical body is like bronze; these are merely the minimum requirements for advancing to higher levels.

Further up, there are psionic energy like marrow and psionic energy like mercury!

The flesh is as precious as gold, the flesh is as precious as jade!

The stronger one's spiritual energy and physical body are, the higher one's strength and potential will be after advancing to the 7th rank.

On the overall ranking of intermediate-level students, Lu Yinghan from Taiyue Academy was able to kill flying zombies as easily as eating and drinking while at the sixth level.

Xu Yi suspected that this person possessed at least spiritual energy as abundant as his marrow and a body as solid as gold!

Otherwise, the gap between the 6th and 7th orders is extremely large.

This is something that ordinary sequence users simply cannot overcome!

Given my own advantages, I should at least be stronger than him.

Cultivate to the point where your spiritual energy is like mercury, your physical body is like jade, or even higher!

After determining the goal for the next stage, Xu Yi stopped thinking and immediately prepared to enter a state of cultivation.

But just then, a message came through the communicator.

"No way, Lao Xu! It's not easy for us to get together! Besides, it's not just us; Teacher Lin Shuang also needs to see you!"

It was a message from Wang Qiang.

"Teacher Lin Shuang?"

Xu Yi was slightly taken aback, and then the communicator rang again.

"Xu Yi, do you have time? Let's talk in person."

The sender was Lin Shuang.

"Okay, Teacher Lin, I'll go to your office." Xu Yi replied immediately.

However, Lin Shuang quickly replied, "No need, just come to the hot pot restaurant on campus."

Xu Yi was somewhat puzzled.

It seems Lin Shuang is with Wang Qiang and Qian Jinyan?

After tidying himself up, he quickly walked out of the courtyard and arrived at the hot pot restaurant on campus.

Xu Yi was taken aback when he entered the private room.

Not only Wang Qiang, Qian Jinyan, and Lin Shuang were there.

There was another person, Wang He.

Judging from her aura, she has also advanced to level 3.

Upon seeing Xu Yi, Wang He was momentarily at a loss and simply buryed his head in the sand like an ostrich.

"Hello, Teacher Lin. Wang He is here too. It's been a long time."

Xu Yi wasn't embarrassed at all and took the initiative to greet him.

During the Four Prefectures Test, after Wang He took the initiative to tell him about the Black Zombie Coffin Room, he stopped caring about the previous matters.

He was, after all, the senior disciple of the Dragon Tiger Sect. How could he possibly argue with a little girl?

"Old Xu, why are you so late! Were you trying to stand us up?"

Wang Qiang immediately exclaimed, "Quick, sit down! We have to drink our fill today!"

"I just came back from the front lines and came here with Xiaohe for a meal. We happened to run into Wang Qiang and Qian Jinyan, so we all sat at the same table."

Lin Shuang was dressed in casual clothes, her hair was rolled up, and her sleeves were rolled up high. She sat in front of the hot pot looking like she was ready to make a big splash.

Upon seeing Xu Yi, she immediately smiled and said, "I heard you were coming. I happen to have a task for you."

"Teacher Lin, what kind of mission is it?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

"No rush, sit down first! Let's eat first!"

Lin Shuang, however, made Xu Yi sit down without saying a word, and then called the waiter to bring the dishes.

Xu Yi also sat down, right next to Wang He.

The hot pot boiled, and the five of them immediately started eating, their mouths greasy with oil.

To Xu Yi's surprise, Lin Shuang ate the most, her chopsticks never stopped.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Lin Shuang is at level 8, and her physique is far superior to that of the students.

It's normal to eat more.

Xu Yi also enjoyed the meal very much.

He has been working almost non-stop for the past few months.

This hot pot meal was quite relaxing.

"Um... Xu Yi, don't take what happened before to heart. I was out of my mind back then."

Halfway through the meal, Wang He suddenly whispered to Xu Yi, then cautiously said:

"You don't hold a grudge against me anymore, do you?"

After repeated setbacks, Wang He was completely different from the arrogant person he was when he first enrolled; he was practically a different person.

"It's nothing," Xu Yi said with a smile, shaking his head. "It was just a small conflict in the Qiushan Zombie Domain, I'd already forgotten about it!"

"Uh..." Wang He blinked.

I forgot you explained it so clearly!

Lin Shuang smiled as she looked at the two of them.

She organized this dinner party partly so that her student could resolve the grudge between Xu Yi and the other person.

After all, Xu Yi is the absolute leader of the new generation, and Wang He is very likely to work under him in the future.

What does it mean if I have a constant rift with my boss?

After Wang He apologized, he gradually became more lively.

She could occasionally chime in on Wang Qiang and Xu Yi's conversation.

After she had almost finished eating, Lin Shuang wiped her mouth and smiled at Xu Yi:

"I heard you're already the top student in the whole school? Becoming the top student in your freshman year is absolutely unprecedented!"

"Uh...it's all because of my senior brothers and sisters flattering me," Xu Yi said with shame.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Lin Shuang's expression slightly changed, and she spoke:

"As is customary, at the end of each academic year, the official organization holds a selection process involving 100 universities! Only outstanding freshmen from each institution can participate, and a total of 1,000 outstanding freshmen will be selected to receive additional reward resources!"

"Selection from 100 schools?"

Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded.

"The university wants me to participate? Sure, no problem!"

He would love to participate in such an occasion!

The official organization issues one reward, and then Longhu Academy issues another one upon your return!

Only a fool wouldn't go!

But when Xu Yi said this, Lin Shuang looked at him with a strange expression.

"Teacher Lin, what's wrong?" Xu Yi scratched his head.

"Well... I won't trouble you with the competition."

Lin Shuang remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

She was completely losing her composure.

You little rascal, you're addicted to frying fish, aren't you!

Those outstanding freshmen from second- or third-rate universities are mostly only at level 2, and whether they have level 3 is unknown!

You, a character capable of overpowering level 6 players, are trying to compete with these greenhorns for reward slots?

Have you no shame?!

You have the nerve to do it, and even Dragon Tiger Academy would feel embarrassed!

Worried that Xu Yi might still want to insist, she added:

"Besides, these rewards are all low-level resources, so they're useless to you."

"Oh, okay, then I won't go." Xu Yi nodded.

The rewards are just low-level resources, so why bother going?

"Can we go?"

Wang Qiang, standing to the side, exclaimed excitedly.

If Lao Xu doesn't go, wouldn't that be him ruling as king?

"Third-level students from the four universities cannot participate; you already have enough resources."

Lin Shuang glanced at him, "If you want to go, you can be a staff member!"

"Well... okay."

Wang Qiang immediately lowered his head.

What a great opportunity, what a pity!

Beside him, Qian Jinyan spoke up with some curiosity:

"Teacher Lin, isn't there still some time before the end of the school year? Why are we already starting the selection process for the top 100 schools?"

"I'm not quite sure either."

Lin Shuang shook her head. "Logically speaking, the selection of the top 100 schools should be held a few months later each year. I don't know why it was brought forward this year, and in such a rushed manner."

Xu Yi's eyes flickered.

A few months later?

By then, the great battle will have already begun!

Where is the time to let these freshmen participate in the selection process?

Moreover, the authorities probably want to distribute resources in advance so that these new students can grow up faster.

Advancing from Tier 2 to Tier 3 already signifies considerable combat power!

Xu Yi looked at Lin Shuang and asked curiously:

"Since you're not asking me to participate, then who are you looking for?"

"I'll let you be a judge!"

Lin Shuang said, "As is customary, the four major universities send ten senior students each year to serve as judges and select elites. Naturally, the senior brother will take the lead in this matter."

I originally wanted to find Hou Fan, but he said that you've become Senior Brother Longhu's senior brother. So, the role of judge naturally falls to you.

"I see."

Xu Yi then realized that he regretted it.

If I had known, I would have let Hou Fan be the senior brother for a few more days!

Being a judge isn't all about putting in the effort; it's not a good thing!

However, since this was his first mission as the senior disciple, he couldn't refuse, so he immediately asked:

When will the selection process take place?

"Just two days from now!"
