Chapter 241: Don ‘t Reveal Your True Strength Too Easily, Otherwise You Will Attract Danger

As the internal selection reached the captain battle stage, Wang Xiao was automatically teleported to the secret realm again.

It was the same rectangular arena, but the opponent opposite him was clearly not on the same level as before. Based on the dense energy aura on his body, he was at least a level four lord.

However, this person had clearly fought his way over obediently. Although the energy aura on his body was still dense, he was sweating profusely and panting. It was obvious that he was already quite tired.

When Wang Xiao appeared here, the other party had already started a battle.

First, ten gold level one [Skeleton Archers] were divided into two rows and stood at the front. Then, two gold level two [Elven Knights] stopped behind the [Skeleton Archers] and waited for an opportunity.

Finally, there were four peak level three gold [Goblin Commanders]. Although their movement speed was slow, they formed a circle with their backs facing each other. Their burly figures were like a wall that protected the other party’s flag tightly.

Seeing this arrangement, Wang Xiao could not help but nod in his heart. Although the number and level of the soldiers in Zhexi were not outstanding, they were very suitable for this flag capture battle according to their respective characteristics.

After knowing his limits, Wang Xiao cupped his hands opposite him. “My name is Wang Xiao. I’m from Year 2 Class B... You should be a senior, right?”

‘Year 2 Class A, Zhao Lei.”

The student opposite him cupped his hands and returned the greeting. He sized up Wang Xiao and continued, “I heard that you’re very powerful and have always wanted to fight you. I didn’t expect to have a chance so soon.”

“Senior, you’re too kind!”

Wang Xiao chuckled and then revealed an apologetic expression. “However, I might have to disappoint you.”

Zhao Lei was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“You look very tired. Have you been fighting until now?”

Wang Xiao asked in return. Without waiting for Zhao Lei to speak, he continued, “The rules of this selection are that there’s no rest and you can’t replenish your strength. Due to some special reasons, I’ve just rested for more than an hour. This is not very fair to you.”

Zhao Lei did not know why Wang Xiao could rest, but he did not care. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “There’s no fairness on the battlefield. Stop talking nonsense! Quickly summon your soldiers!”

“I won’t. ”

Wang Xiao shook his head and suddenly raised his leg to kick down his flag. Then, he was forcefully kicked out of the secret realm because of the foul.

From the beginning, Wang Xiao’s goal was only to obtain a spot and represent the Yuheng Academy to participate in the academy ranking assessment. As for being the captain, he was not interested at all.

The bird that sticks out gets shot.

Wang Xiao did not care about becoming the target of everyone’s focus fire, but the situation he was in now was complicated. It was better to keep a low profile.

However, to Wang Xiao’s surprise, just as he retreated from the secret realm, the teleportation door emitted another buzzing sound. Then, a beautiful figure appeared beside him.

“Zhou Xiruo?”

Wang Xiao recognized the other party and immediately revealed a strange smile. “You’re finally eliminated?”

Hearing Wang Xiao’s teasing, Zhou Xiruo frowned slightly. “What are you talking about? Shouldn’t you praise me for being powerful and for being able to last until now?”

Wang Xiao sneered when he heard this. “Who was stronger? Yi Han or you?” Hearing this, Zhou Xiruo immediately revealed a surprised expression. “How did von know that Vi Han and T were assigned to the same match?”

“I guessed.”

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows and brought Zhou Xiruo far away. At the same time, he roughly explained his guess about the “loophole”.

After a pause, Wang Xiao looked at Zhou Xiruo and said firmly, “If I’m not wrong, this method should be suggested by Yi Han.”

“In exchange for a spot, you have to voluntarily forfeit after the selection to enter the captain battle. That’s why you don’t have any traces of battle on you.”

“Wang Xiao, you’re simply godly! ”

Zhou Xiruo could not help but give Wang Xiao a thumbs up, but she quickly revealed a disappointed expression. “I thought this method was very good and wanted to see your reaction. I didn’t expect you to have already thought of it!”

Wang Xiao laughed and said helplessly, “Actually, I just thought of it. If I had Imown that I could obtain the spot without doing anything, I wouldn’t have spent so much effort!”

Zhou Xiruo suddenly became interested when she heard this. “You said that you didn’t discover this loophole previously. Then did you fight your way through?”

“Yes... I guess so?”

Wang Xiao smiled strangely and did not explain further. He brought Zhou Xiruo to look for Tian Gang.

When the two of them arrived at the class director’s office, Tian Gang was looking out of the window in a daze. He frowned slightly and was thinking about something.

Wang Xiao tried to shout a few times. Tian Gang finally came back to his senses and was slightly stunned when he saw the two of them. “What’s the matter?”

Wang Xiao nodded with a smug expression. “We obtained the qualifications to participate in the academy’s ranking assessment, so we came to tell you.” Tian Gang replied with an “oh” and said expressionlessly, “Congratulations.”

Seeing Tian Gang’s reaction, Wang Xiao could not help but feel a little strange.

This was because before coming to look for Tian Gang, Wang Xiao had specially looked at the name list. Among the ten people who participated in the captain battle in the end, eight of them were students from Class A of various grades. He and Zhou Xiruo were the only two students who weren’t from Class

As the class director of the two of them, this matter would undoubtedly bring him glory. It was fine if he was not in high spirits now, but what was with his half-dead appearance?

Puzzled, Wang Xiao simply asked, “Teacher Tian, you don’t look too good... Did something happen?”

“It’s fine.”

Tian Gang waved his hand coldly. “You guys can go back.”

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other. They both knew that Tian Gang must have encountered some difficulty, but since the other party did not want to say anything, they could not ask further. They agreed and prepared to leave.

“Wait a minute!”

Tian Gang suddenly stopped the two of them and probed with a complicated expression, “You were once my brother’s classmates. What do you think of him?”

Hearing this question, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo instantly came to a realization.

They all knew that Tian Qiang had joined the Crimson Star. Thinking of Tian Gang’s dejected appearance previously, he had most likely already received the military’s notice!

After coming to a realization, the two of them began to feel troubled again because they did not know how to answer this question.

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo really could not open their mouths to say anything good about Tian Qiang. However, if they said that the other party was not good, wouldn’t that be equivalent to rubbing salt on Tian Gang’s wound?

In the blink of an eye, a few minutes passed. The two of them still had not thought of what to say. However, seeing their hesitant expressions, Tian Gang seemed to understand something.

“You guys can go back.”

Tian Gang sighed and waved his hand. “The academy’s ranking assessment is in three days. At that time, you have to come to the academy first before setting off together. Remember not to be late..”
