Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

boom!

The mental pressure emanating from the mythical dimension made all the grandmasters present gasp for breath, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Even Chang'e, who had always been aloof, slowly opened her eyes at this moment, and the jade rabbit in her arms exuded a chill that could freeze one's soul.

Although he didn't say anything, his attitude was clear.

Two colorful mythical creatures are putting pressure on each other at the same time!

Real hammer!

This is absolutely a mythological setup!

We're on the first layer, while they're in the atmosphere!

Lei Zhen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth, almost choking himself.

Gu Qinghe silently put away the stack of data reports, pushed up his glasses, and his eyes became deep. He had already conceived a million-word ancient secret in his mind.

"Since it concerns Lin Xiao's life or death, then we were blind and narrow-minded."

Qian Duoduo slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing what was happening, and the fat on his face trembled.

"I knew it! How could a peerless genius like Brother Lin choose randomly!"

The masters instantly completed their self-defense strategy for Dihua.

Huayang Wuhan University, which used to be like a garbage dump.

At this moment, in their minds, it had become a mysterious holy land hiding an unparalleled opportunity, and even the yin energy of the mass grave had become proof of the "land for raising dragons".

This is the logic of the strong.

If something seems silly, but the person doing it is very capable, then there must be a deeper meaning behind it!

Bai Potian watched this scene, his lips twitching.

He knows these old buddies too well; they've clearly been completely fooled!

But things have come to this point, and this is the best way out. We can't really fight these two mythical creatures, can we?

"Cough cough."

Qin Weiguo cleared his throat, breaking the deadlock.

"In that case, the decision to volunteer is settled."

His gaze swept over the crowd, and his tone became more serious than ever before.

"This matter is classified as SSS-level top secret! It is only to be known by those present here and must not be leaked to avoid attracting the attention of foreign forces!"

"in addition……"

Qin Weiguo looked at Lin Xiao with a complex expression, the kind of look one would give someone looking at a national treasure.

"While we will not interfere with your choice, the Ministry of Education will conduct a thorough review of Huayang Wuhan University's qualifications."

"We'll find ways to secretly allocate resources to you; we absolutely won't let you go hungry. We'll provide manpower and funding as needed!"

"Thank you, Minister!" Lin Xiao was overjoyed, her heart filled with happiness.

This is a real, tangible benefit! This is a huge win!

"Alright, meeting adjourned."

Qin Weiguo waved his hand, looking utterly exhausted.

"Lin Xiao stays. The rest of you... go do whatever you need to do."

All the masters stood up.

As Ye Guyun passed by Lin Xiao, he patted him heavily on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Young friend Lin, please visit the Ye family sometime. My good-for-nothing son still needs your guidance. Just say the word, and the Ye family's Sword Tomb will be open to you!"

Xing Zhantian, Zhang Zhiwei, and others also bid farewell, thus concluding this bond of kinship.

Soon, only Qin Weiguo, Lei Zhen, Gu Qinghe, and Qian Duoduo, the core leaders, remained in the conference room.

Qin Weiguo rubbed his temples and called his secretary.

"Arrange a hotel for Lin Xiao, the best one, a presidential suite! Top security, not even a fly is allowed in. His family is gone, we can't let him sleep on the streets."

"Yes."

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to make a run for it with Daji and Chang'e.

This act is exhausting; I need to go back and lie down as soon as possible, and while I'm at it, think about how to fool them...

Oh no, I mean, appease these two old ladies.

However, just as he stepped out of the conference room...

A voice as steady as a mountain suddenly rang out behind him, carrying a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Lin Xiao, please wait a moment."

Lin Xiao paused, his back tensed instantly, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

The speaker was none other than [someone else].

It was none other than Bai Potian, the military war god who had remained silent but suppressed the entire atmosphere.

Lin Xiao stiffly turned around, looked at the middle-aged man in silver armor with an imposing presence, and gave a dry laugh.

"General Bai...is there anything else you wish to instruct me on?"

Bai Potian didn't speak, but simply stared at Lin Xiao with his eyes that had seen through life and death, his gaze as deep as two black holes.

At that moment, Lin Xiao felt like a rabbit being targeted by a dragon, with all his secrets exposed.

That old guy...

Could it be that they saw through my lie?

The air in the corridor was incredibly heavy.

Lin Xiao stiffly turned around and met Bai Potian's eyes, which had seen life and death countless times.

The Dragon Kingdom's military god's gaze was devoid of any emotion, like two boning knives scraping across Lin Xiao's body.

Oh no, this is bad.

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and goosebumps instantly rose on his back.

This old fox is a top-tier ruthless person who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Has he already seen through my lies...?

"General Bai..."

Lin Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, his brain working at lightning speed, preparing to fabricate a second reason to cover it up.

However, before he could even speak...

That large, calloused hand patted heavily on his shoulder.

"Bang!"

The slap was so powerful that Lin Xiao felt half of his body go numb instantly, and his knees buckled, almost causing him to kneel down on the spot.

"Well played!"

Bai Potian suddenly grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, a hint of appreciation appearing on his face.

Lin Xiao was stunned, three question marks appearing on his forehead.

"what?"

"I said, you shattered my brat's pride in the dungeon, well done!"

Bai Potian's loud voice made the motion-sensor lights in the corridor flicker.

"Bai Qi, that kid, has had a smooth life since he was a child. He has good talent and a good family background, so he has been praised to the skies and doesn't know his own limitations."

"I've wanted to beat him up for a long time, but his mother is too protective of her son, so I can't bring myself to do it."

"Your score in the beginner dungeon was more than ten times his, which helped me figure things out!"

Bai Potian's eyes gleamed, and his tone was firm and resolute.

"A true strong person isn't someone who's never lost, but someone who can accept defeat! You've shown him what it means to be outmatched. I'll remember this favor!"

Lin Xiao blinked, and his tense muscles instantly relaxed.

So they were talking about Bai Qi! That scared me to death.

"General, you flatter me."

Lin Xiao immediately seized the opportunity, standing ramrod straight with a humble expression.

"Bai Qi is exceptionally talented; my victory was only by a narrow margin, purely due to luck."

"Alright, stop with the empty pleasantries."

Bai Potian snorted and waved his hand impatiently.

He rummaged in his inner pocket for a while, pulled out a heavy black gold token, and stuffed it into Lin Xiao's hand without saying a word.

The token felt cool to the touch. The front was engraved with a powerful "North" character, while the back had a complex encrypted number.

"Take it!" (Liu Huaqiang's voice)
