When he looked at here, Lin Beichen didn’t go through the rest one by one.
Anyway, they were all losers who couldn’t compare with him. There was no need to remember their names.
They didn’t deserve it.
However, he had to exclaim that Royal National Junior College was really freaking strong.
In the first 12 places, it took eight. They were so badass that they seemed a little intimidating.
He especially looked for rankings of Mu Xinyue, Wu Xiaofang, and Yue Hongxiang.
They respectively were 67th, 91st, and 92nd.
Mu Xinyue was one of the geniuses who stunned the special observer Li Qingxuan. However, she turned out to only be ranked 67th in the entire Cloudy Dream City. Lin Beichen had to exclaim that there were always going to be more brilliant people, wider skies, experts of the experts, and higher mountains.
At that time, people had already surrounded the stone tablet.
Such a detailed release of the rankings, for young students who deemed themselves prodigies, nearly were deadly tempting.
“Who’s Lin Beichen?”
Suddenly, an ear-piercing voice rang and said, “Out of the crowd.”
Instantly, all eyes were on the person talking.
They saw a medium-height student with a long face and yellow hair. He looked arrogant and was scanning around with harsh and ferocious eyes. He was apparently looking for Lin Beichen.
He did not seem to harbor good intentions.
Lin Beichen did not plan to walk out of the crowd.
If he would walk out of the crowd every time people called his name, wouldn’t he look very embarrassing then?
“Anyway, I didn’t do this because I’m a coward.”
However, it was just at that moment—
“It’s him.”
Wu Xiaofang’s voice rang, his finger pointing at Lin Beichen.
Holy cow.
Lin Beichen turned to look at Wu Xiaofang.
“You dog. As a traitor, you’re behaving too naturally and too explicitly.”
The latter sneered, looking pleased.
“I can’t beat you, but that doesn’t I can’t deal with you.
“I can ‘murder you with a borrowed knife’.”
The long-faced and yellow-haired youth walked to Lin Beichen. His eyes were like bone-scraping knives, sweeping Lin Beichen’s body and face. He said, “You? A little boy? Do you deserve to rank higher than me, Ji Wushuang?”
Ji Wushuang, men’s, 13th of the individual rankings, from Fifth Provincial College, top one of the college’s competition.
He thought, with his grades, he could enter the top 10 of the rankings for sure this time. Nevertheless, he got outside the top 12. He couldn’t afford to offend geniuses from the Royal National Junior College, the First, Second, and Fourth Colleges. However, he could still mess with a college severely-declined like the Third College.
Furthermore, the entire Cloudy Dream City knew about the Mansion of Heaven-fighting Marquis’s being destroyed.
The black sheep hadn’t been a marquis’s heir long ago. He was just a rat on the street anyone could bully.
Ji Wushuang ferociously stared at Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen thought about it, and calmly said, “How do you think I’ll deserve it then?”
“When you take a fist from me.”
Ji Wushuang sneered, raised his hand, and struck out a fist.
Boom!
There was a sound of air explosion, like a howl.
It was extremely fast.
Off guard, Lin Beichen lifted his hand to ward off the blow.
Bang.
He was sent back, staggering away for five to six meters.
This was the defect in Lin Beichen’s current martial arts.
Except the swordsmanship, he couldn’t really do well in any other aspect.
“Haha. Vulnerable.”
Ji Wushuang laughed out loud. “You can’t even take my one blow, and do you deserve…”
It was before he finished his words.
Lin Beichen drew his sword.
Clang!
The sword of morals was released.
“You’ve angered me.”
Lin Beichen said, “You struck first.”
“So what if I’ve struck first?”
Ji Wushuang had hit his target and only thought Lin Beichen was very frail, so he became more confident.
Lin Beichen said, “Then, I’ll have to… convince you with morals.”
Swoosh!
The long sword flew out of the scabbard.
The sneer on Ji Wushuang’s face instantly froze.
The sword light flashed.
Before he could figure what was happening, the long sword in Lin Beichen’s hand had already reached his throat.
Lin Beichen flatly said, “If not for the rule that you can’t hurt students in the camp, now, you would’ve already been a dead man.”
“You…” Ji Wushuang looked gloomy and unwillingly said, “You Lin boy, I was bare-handed just now and let you got the advantage. If you dare, we’ll exchange a few swordsmanship moves once again.”
Lin Beichen stepped back and withdrew the sword.
Ji Wushuang drew the long sword at his waist, sneered, and said, “Come on, I…”
Swoosh!
Lin Beichen’s sword once again reached his throat.
The watching geniuses from all the colleges all cried out.
The sword was so fast.
Many people didn’t really see how the sword was struck out, yet Ji Wushuang had lost.
If it were a life and death duel, Ji Wushuang would already have died twice.
Many genius students felt shocked in the heart.
The genius ranked 12th on the list mastered swordsmanship and should be taken seriously.
Wu Xiaofang’s heart was even thumping.
He didn’t know if it’s an illusion, but he thought Lin Beichen had become much stronger than he was on the day of the college finals.
This kind of progress speed was too terrifying, wasn’t it?
Lin Beichen was like an emotionless killer and he said even in a cockier and more disdainful tone. “With your swordsmanship, do you deserve to rank behind me?”
Ji Wushuang felt both embarrassed and angry.
Never in his dreams did he expect Lin Beichen’s swordsmanship to be so strong.
It was in the distance.
A graceful figure saw the scene. A strange light flashed crossed the beautiful eyes.
Some top geniuses from the Royal National Junior College fixed their eyes on Lin Beichen. Some looked astounded, some scorned, while some remained as calm as water.
At that time, the bell in the camp suddenly rang rapidly.
“Line up.”
A thunderous shout exploded in the west of the small square.
All the students felt their ears buzzing.
They looked in the direction of the shout. They saw a war-god-like officer clad in shining armor and hanging a long sword at his waist. He stood under a big flag. The person who shouted was him.
Everyone quickly ran to the huge flag.
Guided by the leading teachers, 100 students soon formed nine lines of various lengths.
The Third College had the fewest people, only four.
Lin Beichen stood in the front of the line.
“I’ll introduce him to you. This is Chen Jian’nan, captain of Cloudy Dream City army ‘Cloudy Dream Guards’.” Li Qingxuan also walked under the big flag. Through the amplification of the Mystery Energy, his voice clearly rang through the entire camp, saying, “From today to the end of the qualifying match, Captain Chen and his soldiers will protect the entire camp. I hope you’ll show good cooperation for the work of Cloudy Dream Guards.”
The overwhelming officer stepped forward and said in a loud voice word by word. “My name is Chen Jian’nan, a second grade warrior expert. Please remember, we won’t interfere with your exams. But, there are absolute rules in the camp and you should follow them unconditionally. Any resistance to our soldiers will be deemed as violations of rules, and you’ll be disqualified. Understand?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Wow, a second grade warrior expert. A powerhouse.”
Students replied in various ways.
Chen Jian’nan frowned and didn’t say anything further. He retreated into his line.
