Both of them were vice principals of the academy and had handled matters together for so many years. Both of them were sly foxes, so how could Huo Xing not understand the hidden meaning behind Ren Huo's words!

If this were to be handled according to the rules set by the academy, not only would Lin Xi not have the qualifications to participate in the Academy's student competition, he would even be expelled from the academy. In that case, Lin Xi would be executed by the Holy Mother, and the agreement they had made would be annulled.

If Lin Xi was allowed to do something beyond the law, the students of the academy would definitely not be satisfied. More seriously, the academy would be difficult to manage now, and it would even affect the reputation of the academy ? All of a sudden, Elder Huo did not know what to choose!

Bu Ling and Ren Huo looked at each other with a smile that was not a smile. Bu Ling then chuckled, "Brother Huo, in my opinion, how about I help you take on the risk of becoming my disciple?" As he spoke, he pointed to Lin Xi, who was beside Elder Huo.

Old man Huo waved his hand and said, "We can discuss this matter after the academy students' competition. Don't forget that the Holy Mother is going to watch the competition herself today!" As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Xi from the corner of his eyes.

Ren Huo and Bu Ling nodded as well. With a thought, Bu Ling released the Soul Thread binding the cultivators and said, "Leave a soul imprint here. We'll have a good chat after the competition ends. Don't forget to bring Zhuang Xiujie along when the time comes!" As he said that, he held a bright piece of jade in his hand.

The people of Zhuang Wu were no longer as energetic as they were back then. They all hung their heads like eggplants, walking in succession to Bu Ling. They first bowed respectfully, then left behind a soul imprint. They only dared to leave after Bu Ling had nodded.

After everyone left, Bu Ling narrowed his eyes and said to Lin Xi, "Do you want to be my disciple?" What's so good about following that old man? I can help you break through to the first stage of Soul Refinement ? "

Old man Huo stared at Bu Ling impatiently. Then, he confidently said, "Lin Xi won't be your disciple. I've already made a move!"

It was true that Lin Xi would not become Bu Ling's disciple, not because she had already entered the Qi Cultivation Institute, but because she did not believe that Bu Ling was merely helping him improve his own strength. If it was a last resort, Lin Xi would have fallen into Old Man Huo's trap.

Ren Huo then said, "Is his fragile appearance worth your fight for? Wait until the competition before making a good choice! "

Bu Ling nodded and then said in a low voice, "Let's go together this time. After more than a decade, the three of us will be busy with our own matters. It's rare for us to meet each other before the competition begins."

The three of them smiled with slight embarrassment. Then, each of them activated their martial arts, and their figures disappeared from where they stood. The crowded places all left, leaving behind only Lin Xi.

Lin Xi followed closely behind the three vice principals as they flew towards the martial arena. Lin Xi was looking forward to what kind of genius she would meet. Other than that, Lin Xi was also a little worried, because her soul power was rising rapidly. Lin Xi knew that she was going to break through the state of mind and become one with discouragement.

It would be a good thing if it was at any other time, but right now, he didn't know anything about advancement, and he was going to face a long competition. Therefore, Lin Xi could only watch silently and try her best to suppress it.

When Lin Xi crossed the small hill, he found that the other half of the hill had been cut off by someone. Under the cliff, the steps were filled with students wearing three-colored school uniforms. The three colors were clearly separated.

Elder Huo, Bu Ling, and Ren Huo were standing on an observation stage above the students. Ren Huo used his high-pitched voice to introduce to the students the matters that they should pay attention to in the Yan Guan Academy competition.

There was a giant pentagram on the opposite side of the stands, with a towering pentagram stone pillar in the middle. On each of the five corners of the pentagram, there was a tall, round stone platform.

Lin Xi didn't pay too much attention to this. She landed at the edge of the Qi Training Academy by herself. Just as she was about to sit down, someone shouted at Lin Xi, "You, a new student, smug!? "To the end!"

Lin Xi only calmly looked at the little cultivator, then said nothing and left as well. When that student saw a new student being even more arrogant than him, he wanted to get up and teach this arrogant brat a lesson.

Three hollow soul needles suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The three soul needles were emitting a dense amount of soul force. The originally angry expression of this student immediately froze.

He immediately put on a stiff smile and sat down firmly. Then, he turned his head and fixed his eyes on the martial arena, not daring to continue watching Lin Xi's actions.

Lin Xi sneered in her heart. In this world, strength was the most important thing!

"Clang!" There was the sound of metal striking metal, and then Lin Xi heard Old Man Huo's voice, which was filled with spiritual energy, say, "The comprehensive competition for the 387th Academy Students' competition has begun! The first stage of the competition will be a draw and a fight! "

"All the participants will be in the front row, and they will be able to place their soul imprints onto the soul tablets. They will be waiting for the draw to begin!" Elder Huo continued.

Lin Xi stood up and walked to the front. She casually took out a small translucent jade piece that had been prepared. With a thought, a trace of soul force was transferred into the small jade piece. After the soul imprint had been planted, Lin Xi took the small jade and sat back down in her seat.

Very soon, the small piece of jade in Lin Xi's hand heated up slightly. When Lin Xi looked down, he saw a geographical location: a five-pointed star with a red circle marked on it.

At this moment, Elder Huo continued, "The red position on the spirit tablet in your hands is the position of your martial arena this time. When you guys arrive at your own stage, you will naturally know who your opponent is ? All five arenas began to compete at the same time. Only when one fell off the stage or voluntarily admitted defeat would the other side obtain victory! I wish everyone good luck! "

After Old Huo had finished speaking, the stands were filled with the buzz of voices. Lin Xi did not hesitate and directly walked slowly towards his own martial arena. The other cultivators also went to their respective arenas.

The Academy's competition had already begun, but the Holy Maiden who was the focus of everyone's attention still had not arrived.
