As the Grand Examination of the Academy gradually entered the knockout stage, the huge crystal wall outside Bailingshan began to display a faster and more intense fluctuation of points, revealing the intensity of the competition at this moment.

  Innumerable eyes converged on the crystal wall, bursting out with numerous exclamations and wails from time to time. Everyone was paying attention to the results of their own schools students.

  Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing were also paying attention to their own young master at the moment, and when they saw Li Luos points steadily increasing, they both smiled on their faces.

  "Its not like the Minister of Works is unreliable." Cai Wei lightly shook her flower-patterned silk fan, and said with a smile.

  "Its probably not yet encountered a strong enemy, as the knockout stage progresses, those who remain will be tough opponents, and only then can we see the true level." Yan Lingqin analyzed cautiously.

  Cai Weis eyebrows slightly nodded, her smile as bright as a flower: "But I believe the young master of the Shaofu will definitely be able to."

  "So confident?"

  "Because beauty is justice." Cai Wei said solemnly.

  "Bored." Yan Lingqing lightly adjusted her silver-rimmed glasses, too lazy to bother with her.

  ...

  In the dense forest.

  Ding!

  Three people surrounded a poor guy, and in his desperate gaze, the three people swiped all his points clean, then left with a flourish, leaving the poor guy in tears.

  "Our total score has reached 1,500 points."

  Li Luo took a look at the crystal plate in front of each of them, this 1,500 points was the result of their hard work for almost half a morning, and below that, was a group of greedy and unlucky fish.

  "But I feel like its getting harder and harder to catch anything." Zhao Kou said with some worry, earlier they had been fishing for an hour and only caught one unlucky fish.

  "Our reputation for fishing has spread far and wide," said Li Luo.

  This mornings fishing trip wasnt without its losses, some fish were extremely slippery and powerful, so they had lost a few in the process. Those who got away also spread the news of Li Luos fishing activities.

  So students in this class probably wont take the bait easily.

  "It was unrealistic to fish all the time, and as more and more people were eliminated, it would take a hard fight to get points again." Li Luo didnt care about this, after all, he hadnt really expected to fish all the time.

  Zhao Kuo and Yu Lang nodded in agreement, they also understood this point.

  Three people chatted idly, but their footsteps didnt stop. They continued to advance cautiously. As they moved forward, however, they suddenly found that a thin fog began to spread through the dense forest.

  The fog is rapidly becoming denser.

  Li Luos footsteps paused, his brow furrowed, and he said, "Somethings off, lets get out of here."

  The three of them immediately turned around and quickly retreated along the original road.

  After running for several minutes, Li Luo suddenly turned his head and found that Yu Lang and Zhao Kuo, who were following behind him, had disappeared without knowing when.

  Li Luo sank into thought for a few breaths, then searched around in the nearby bushes and finally saw some grey mushrooms, which were exactly the kind that kept spewing out mist.

  "Its a Morel mushroom."

  Li Luo felt a bit helpless, the fog spewed by the misty mushrooms could make people lose their sense of direction. Apparently, they had unknowingly stepped into an area filled with misty mushrooms.

  Yu Lang and Zhao Kuo must have lost their way while running and fell behind.

  "What a hassle."

  Li Luo lifted his foot and crushed the misty mushroom. Although this mist was troublesome, it should have a time limit. As long as he waited for the fog to disperse a bit, he should be able to find the two of them.

  At the same time, on the other side of the fog.

  Zhao Kuo and Yu Lang were walking together, they also found that Li Luo was lost, then they were a bit confused, looking at each other in dismay, and could only continue to move forward cautiously.

  After walking for a while, they heard footsteps coming from the front. Suddenly delighted, Zhao Kuo tentatively called out: "Luo Ge?"

  The footsteps grew clearer and clearer, and then a figure appeared in the two peoples line of sight. When they saw each other clearly, their faces changed slightly at the same time.

  It wasnt Li Luo, but someone he had met before.

  It was Lian Chong from Dongyuan Academy who had previously attempted to snatch their Gui Mian Guo!

  At this time, Lian Zhongs face was filled with a cold smile as he stared at the two of them and said, "Li Luo didnt wait for you, but instead ran into two little followers first."

  Zhao Kuo and Yu Lang fled separately without hesitation. The other side was waiting here, obviously well-prepared in advance, and their target should be Li Luo.

  However, just as they were about to make a move, two figures emerged from the direction of their escape route, perfectly blocking off their retreat.

  The other side actually had four more people.

  And looking at the crystal badge on their chest, they are all from Dongyuan Academy.

  "Well fight it out with them!" Zhao Kuangs eyes gleamed with ferocity.

  Ke Yu Lang hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Surrender, surrender, we surrender!"

  He sneered, his mouth curling up in ridicule: "People from Nanfeng Academy are so spineless?"

  Zhao Kuang roared: "Yu Lang, what are you doing?! Do you think they will spare your life if you surrender?!"

  "Zhao Kuo, they are targeting Li Luo, it has nothing much to do with us," Yu Lang said.

  "Damn it, youre trash!"

  Zhao Kuangs face was filled with rage, and he threw a fierce punch that came crashing down.

  Yu Lang hastily dodged and his face also looked somewhat unsightly, saying: "Youve gone too far, we really arent Li Luos younger brothers."

  He immediately looked at Lian Chong with a playful expression and said, "Brother, let me off this time."

  Lian Chong smiled and said: "Didnt you tell me before that you were as close as brothers with Li Luosheng?"

  Yu Lang awkwardly said: "Just kidding, that was just a figure of speech. If youre willing to let me off the hook this one last time, I can help you find Li Luo. He had previously established a special contact method with us."

  Zhao Kuangs eyes were about to split, and he rushed over crazily, wanting to hammer Yu Lang to death, but was intercepted by two students from Dongyuan Academy.

  Her eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at Yu Lang: "Do you think Ill believe you?"

  Yu Langs eyes were brimming with tears as he said, "If you had inquired about it, you would have known that Li Luo and I actually have a deep-seated grudge between us. During the pre-examination at Nanfeng Academy, his methods were ruthless and vicious, leaving me severely injured, bedridden for many days. Even now, on rainy days like today, my body still aches secretly."

  "Previously, I also unfortunately met those two and was coerced into joining their team."

  There was a student from Dongyuan Academy who whispered to Yu Langs ear: "Ive heard of this person, hes notorious in Nanfeng Academy for being ruthless when it comes to money. He would stop at nothing to make a profit. During the preliminary exams at Nanfeng Academy, Li Luo indeed beat him up badly. I heard from my friend who was also at Nanfeng Academy that Li Luo had beaten him so badly that he was bleeding all over the place, and those who saw it were moved to tears."

  Lian Chong furrowed his brow, and then at this time, he heard Yu Langs voice again: "Actually, I had hinted to you before."

  "What does it imply?"

  Yu Lang revealed a subtle smile: "Ill let you add money... as long as you add money, I can help you."

  Lian Chong was stunned, Yu Lang had indeed said those words at the time, but how could he have believed them? But now that he thought about it again, combining it with the rumors about Yu Lang, could this really be a hint?

  If it is like this, this guy really has no shame.

  He leaned back with his arms crossed over his chest and said faintly, "If you can really bring Li Luo here, I might let you off the hook."

  No matter whether this guy is telling the truth or lying, as long as he can bring Li Luo over, its all good.

  Yu Lang was overjoyed and said, "No problem!"

  "This Zhao Kuang is extremely close to Li Luo, we can use him as a hostage. Once we lure Li Luo over, we can use him as leverage and make Li Luo hesitant to act." He immediately followed up with another clever idea.

  Lian Chong heard this and couldnt help but stare at Yu Lang for a moment, saying: "Youre also quite skilled at selling out your teammates, arent you?"

  Yu Lang revealed an awkward smile.

  "Yu Lang, you wont die a good death! You just wait, I wont let you off!" Zhao Kou bellowed furiously.

  "Tie him up and gag his mouth." Jian Chong waved his hand.

  Four students from Dongyuan Academy rushed forward and tied up Zhao Kuo.

  Lian Chong arrived at Yu Langs side, then a sword was placed horizontally on the latters neck. He smiled and said: "Now use your contact method to find Li Luo for me."

  "If he doesnt come, you can be eliminated directly."

  Yu Lang patted his chest and put on a serious face.

  "Older brother, dont worry, that Li Luo will definitely fall for it. When you catch him later, be sure to slap his face hard! Ive been resentful of his stunning looks for a long time!"

  Lian Chong heard this and touched his own rough and ordinary face, then suddenly thought of something and anger and hatred surged up in his eyes.

  Because he also hates this kind of pretty boy who relies on his face to eat!

  Yu Langs words hit him right in the heart.

  Losing a fight is okay, but a handsome guy must die! And someone as handsome as Li Luo, even more so, must be hacked to pieces a thousand times!
