Hearing Gao Lixuan call out the word “Wang Xiao”, everyone present was stunned.
The smile on “Xu Junrou’s” face instantly froze, but it immediately returned to normal. “Brother Xuan, what are you talking about? Wang Xiao didn’t come today.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Gao Lixuan sneered and pointed at an empty space beside him. “If you’re Xu
Junrou… Come, make a mechanical device for me to see.”
“Xu Junrou’s expression froze and she subconsciously looked at Zhou Xiruo.
The latter hurriedly waved her hand when she saw this. “I didn’t say it!” “Then why is your verification method identical?”
Wang Xiao asked in return, but he also knew that Zhou Xiruo would not betray him. After hesitating for a moment with a complicated expression, he finally raised his hand and took off the [Nirvana Mask].
Seeing that the valiant Xu Junrou had really transformed into Wang Xiao, everyone immediately revealed disbelief.
Only Gao Lixuan asked coldly with a dark expression, “Why did you do this? What did you do to Xu Junrou?”
“She’s fine. She should still be in the car.”
Wang Xiao pursed his lips and replied softly, “I’m not completely confident yet, so I can’t explain too much to you. However, please believe me. I’m doing this for your own good. I definitely don’t have any ill intentions.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xiruo silently walked to Wang Xiao’s side. However, she did not say a word and only looked at everyone sincerely with him.
The members of the Yuheng Academy looked at each other before finally landing their gazes on Gao Lixuan.
Actually, they believed Wang Xiao, but the current situation was really too strange.
Wang Xiao clearly had the qualifications to participate in the academy’s ranking assessment, but he gave up on it himself. After Xu Junrou replaced him, he pretended to be Xu Junrou and sneaked in. Even a fool would not believe that he was not planning anything.
“I did it for their safety.”
Wang Xiao said in a low voice with a serious expression, “If my premonition is true, this place will become very dangerous. They are too weak. If they stay here, they will only die.”
Gao Lixuan’s pupils constricted. “What danger?”
“I can’t say because I’m not completely confident yet.”
Wang Xiao repeated what he had just said. He paused and looked at Gao Lixuan before asking seriously, “How is it, Brother Xuan? Do you believe me?”
This time, Gao Lixuan did not speak. He only narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Xiao, his eyes flickering as he pondered about something.
Assessment secret realm, lava venue.
With a swing of the [Holy Giant Knight], the few silver level two [Lava Slimes] were instantly swept away.
With a thought, Han Bufan recalled his soldiers and asked Fang Tianyu casually, “Captain, there seems to be a huge battle in the wasteland. Do you want to go over and take a look?”
“How many times have I told you? Don’t call me Captain.”
Fang Tianyu sighed and replied helplessly. Perhaps it was because the surroundings were too hot, her fair cheeks had also turned red.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Fang Tianyu opened the interface again and took a look. “We just eliminated the team ranked fourth. Including the mutated beasts we killed, we’ve already obtained 3,500 points. Do you think this is a huge advantage?”
The nine members looked at each other for a moment before Lin Dong said, “I think it’s only a small advantage. As long as we eliminate a team in the top five and casually kill a few mutated beasts, we’ll catch up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.
Yang Fan thought for a moment and said, “Actually, even if we don’t find the top five teams, as long as we eliminate the last four teams, we can still exceed our points.”
“That’s right.”
As Han Bufan spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the wasteland field. “The commotion over there just now was not small. It was at least a chaotic battle between three teams… I feel that we might not even be able to enter the top three now!”
Hearing this, Tang Hengshan immediately became excited. “No! Kaiyang Academy has been first place for so many years. This honor definitely can’t be buried in our hands! Let’s go find the other teams now!”
“That’s right! We have to take action!”
“I wonder how many people have been eliminated now. If we don’t take action now, we probably won’t even be able to find them!”
“In any case, I don’t want to kill mutated beasts anymore. I wasted so much time only to obtain a few hundred points. Others can easily catch up after eliminating one person!”
Looking at the team members who expressed that they wanted to take the initiative to attack, Fang Tianyu revealed a difficult expression. “But if we take the initiative to find other teams now, our strength will be exposed.”
Hearing this, everyone, who was still full of fighting spirit just now, instantly turned into frosted eggplants.
After a few seconds, a team member asked, “Captain, I know Wang Xiao is very powerful, but he’s no longer a student of the Kaiyang Academy…”
Fang Tianyu vaguely felt that the person was referring to something else. She frowned and asked in a low voice, “What do you want to say?”
That person hesitated for a moment before saying softly, “I just feel that we’ve been fooled by him?”
“He said that something will happen in the academy’s ranking assessment this time, but something happened in the lord competition last time and now with the academy’s ranking assessment this time… Isn’t it too coincidental?”
As soon as he finished speaking, another person echoed, “In my opinion, this is most likely his plan. Although he said that he wants us to hide our strength, it’s actually to drag us here so that he can secretly surpass us.”
Fang Tianyu’s heart stirred when she heard this, but in the end, she still shook her head. “Impossible. Wang Xiao is not such a person. Don’t spout nonsense.”
“Actually… it’s hard to say.”
Tang Hengshan said faintly with a strange expression, “It’s not been a day or two since Yuheng Academy wants to surpass our Kaiyang Academy. I know Wang Xiao isn’t such a person, but he’s Yuheng’s student now. He has no choice but to lower his head!”
“Well…
Fang Tianyu immediately revealed a hesitant expression because she also began to feel that the situation was not right. It was only because she trusted Wang Xiao that she insisted on following Wang Xiao’s plan.
However, now that everyone had analyzed it like this, the trust in Fang Tianyu’s heart could not help but waver. Moreover, Wang Xiao, who had never done business at a loss, suddenly spent a large sum of money to help them increase their strength. This behavior was also very suspicious.
Thinking of this, Fang Tianyu’s heart became even more uncertain.
At this moment, Yang Fan suddenly raised his hand. “I just thought of a compromise.”
Everyone looked at him when they heard this. Yang Fan thought for a moment and said, “We can send a few people to secretly find Wang Xiao and see what he’s doing. If he’s crazily harvesting points, we can basically confirm that he’s lying to us..”
