School flower's personal master

Chapter 12735

Just then, with a snap, the fishing line suddenly broke.

The sea splashed up several feet high, and the big fish that had been hooked escaped.

Li Jinwang looked at the empty fishing rod, his expression unchanged, and said calmly, "My three core disciples all died within ten days."

"If I were to invite other potential candidates, they would most likely also be doomed."

"More importantly, I don't trust them. They might be bribed by the Huan family and turn around and bite me."

He looked up, his eyes, one big and one small, both landing on Lin Yi, his gaze suddenly sharpening: "After thinking it over, you are the most reliable choice."

Lin Yi rubbed his fingertips against the fishing rod and said in a deep voice, "What are the rules of the competition?"

"The specific rules have not yet been finalized, but they are roughly similar to the final review test for the quota."

Li Jinwang rebaited the fish and cast his line into the water: "The biggest difference is the opponents. You will be facing the prized students of all the high-ranking members of the Divine Society. These people are all top aces in the open area of ​​the Divine Realm, and each of them has been tempered and refined."

Lin Yi smiled, his tone tinged with self-deprecation, but in reality, he was testing the waters: "Senior seems to have confidence in me."

"However, although I can defeat Deng Shentong despite being above my level, I am still a frog in a well in Tianjun. Compared to the aces in the open area of ​​the Divine Realm, I may not be good enough."

"Others might not dare to take the gamble."

This wasn't just him being self-deprecating; even a small place like Tianjun was full of hidden talents, and the top experts in the open area of ​​the Divine Realm would only be more numerous and formidable.

This doesn't mean he's invincible just because he defeated a few students from the Beast God Academy.

"I'm not sure either."

Li Jinwang frankly admitted, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "But I had no choice. Besides, no matter what means you used, being able to defeat Deng Shentong despite being above your station is already impressive enough, and you are qualified to take the stage."

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone turning cold: "I don't ask for much. You just need to win one match in the Grand Competition, but you must sign the Heavenly Dao Contract."

"If you meet the standard, all the rewards of the competition are yours, and the baptism spot is also yours. If you lose, all your cultivation will be destroyed, and you will have no one to blame but yourself."

Li Jinwang suddenly looked up, his large and small eyes fixed on Lin Yi, his aura fully unleashed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you dare to accept?"

The once calm sea suddenly surged with towering waves, roaring towards the two of them.

Even with Lin Yi's temperament, being in such a situation was like being on a small boat at sea, tossed about and about, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

He was secretly horrified.

The important figures of the Xuanwu Divine Society are indeed unfathomable.

Xu Longyin, unable to contain himself any longer, stepped forward and advised:

"Boss, how about we just forget about it? Although the benefits are huge, even if we don't take it, we can still get promoted steadily. It just takes a little more effort. There's no need to take such a catastrophic risk."

He paused, then added, "Even if we are targeted by the Huan family, the Divine Society is not limited to the Xuanwu family. It is not impossible to obtain promotion slots from other Divine Societies."

Prince Li Jin did not refute, but simply looked down at the buoys on the sea, his large and small eyes displaying different expressions.

His left eye scrutinized intently, while his right eye held a hint of amusement.

As the giant wave approached, he waited quietly for Lin Yi to make a decision, and the air seemed to freeze.

The next second, the giant wave suddenly collapsed.

Li Jinwang's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Lin Yi: "What do you mean?"

Just then, a loud footstep sound came, and a young man in brocade robes entered uninvited.

He was tall and imposing, yet his demeanor was somewhat flamboyant, and his eyes and brows exuded an air of spoiled arrogance.

The boy walked with a swaying gait, his eyes arrogant, his whole being exuding an air of self-righteousness that "I am the best in the world."

Prince Li Jin frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

This man is Shi Wan, the only son of his sister Li Ji. He is now a master of the Three-Zhang Dharma Aspect, which is not mediocre among his peers. However, his arrogant and self-righteous nature makes him dislike him.

Shi Wan's gaze swept across the fishing platform, and when it landed on Lin Yi, the arrogance in his eyes immediately turned into undisguised contempt and disgust.

It's as if they've seen something dirty, and they don't even bother to give it a second glance.

He rushed straight up to Prince Li Jin, his tone arrogant and disregarding everyone else: "Uncle! You're not really going to give the baptism spot to an outsider, are you? I'm your own nephew!"

Prince Li Jin glanced at him, his tone flat, revealing neither joy nor anger: "This matter is not settled yet."

"Why hasn't it been decided yet?"

Shi Wan got anxious, his voice suddenly rose, and he shouted with an air of self-righteousness: "Among our generation, I am the most suitable! Those good-for-nothings from the collateral branches are not even worthy of carrying my shoes, how can they compare to me?"

Li Jinwang's lips twitched, speechless.

This guy doesn't even have the surname Li, so he can't be considered a collateral relative of the Li family at all. He's at most a maternal relative, yet he dares to call himself a direct descendant.

He didn't say it outright, but he gave Shi Wan a cold glance, his eyes growing increasingly impatient.

Shi Wan, oblivious to his expression, shouted urgently, "It was already agreed upon! This spot should be mine!"

Prince Li Jin raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "When did I say that to you?"

He only considered the baptism quota in private and never granted it to anyone, let alone to a good-for-nothing like Shi Wan who was all talk and no action.

This is an absolutely core resource.

Shi Wan choked, then said stubbornly, "My mother told me! She said my uncle's baptism spot would be mine sooner or later, and that I should prepare well so as not to lose face!"

King Li Jin's face darkened, and his aura turned colder: "Insolence! Baptismal quotas are a core resource of our Xuanwu Divine Society. How can they be something you and your son can privately exchange and decide on your own?"

Overstepping one's bounds is a major taboo, no matter where you are.

Shi Wan was startled by his imposing manner, but quickly regained his composure. He glanced at Lin Yi with resentment in his eyes and inwardly cursed him.

This swindler must have bewitched my uncle!

My uncle is really senile. Instead of choosing his own nephew, he insists on trusting an outsider!

"Get out."

King Li Jin was too lazy to argue with him and coldly ordered him to leave.

Shi Wan stood rooted to the spot and shouted, "I won't leave! I can prove he's a fraud! He has no skills at all; he's just faking it!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Longyin immediately stepped forward, blocking Lin Yi's side, and said coldly, "You need to have evidence to back up your words. Aren't you afraid of losing face as a three-zhang Dharma Aspect expert by slandering people with empty words?"

Shi Wan scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain as if looking at an ant: "You, a mere lackey and lapdog, dare to speak to me?"

Before he finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged, and a three-zhang-tall Dharma image appeared behind him.

Shi Wan raised his hand and slapped Xu Longyin with ruthless force, leaving no room for retreat.

Xu Longyin's breath hitched.

Even if the opponent is a second-generation fraud, he is still a master of the Three-Zhang Dharma Aspect. With his current strength, he has no power to resist at all.

However, Lin Yi immediately stood in front of him.

Without any defensive movement, a simple glance was all it took for an unprecedentedly terrifying pressure to erupt! (End of Chapter)
