Battle Through the Heavens: Invincible by winning the lottery, with godlike comprehension from the s

Chapter 102 A lackluster selection competition; top five spots! [Please continue reading]

"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony." Hu Qian reached out and took the five-patterned purple-gold card from Xiao Lei's hand, and his attitude immediately became amiable again.

"Of course," Xiao Lei said with a slight smile.

For him, gold coins were just numbers; they were basically useless and he didn't really care about losing them.

"What a snobbish face!" Hu Jia, standing to the side, muttered under her breath, pursing her lips at Hu Qian.

Hu Gan's noodles twitched slightly, and he glared at Hu Jia fiercely, but he didn't say anything.

"Hehe, Dean, then I'll head to the stands first," Xiao Lei said with amusement, looking at the grandfather and grandson.

"Okay, go ahead," Hu Qian nodded slightly and said.

Xiao Lei immediately stopped talking and looked up at the shy and smiling girl in blue in the stands. A warm feeling welled up in his heart. With a slight flap of his battle qi wings, he instantly flew to the place where Class 2 of the Yellow Rank was located.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Xiao Lei said softly, ignoring the intense gazes around him as he looked at the beautiful young woman standing gracefully before him.

Raising her pretty face, Xun'er stared at that handsome face that was slightly more mature than a year ago. Suddenly, a stunningly beautiful smile appeared on her cheeks, and then she did something that left everyone in the room dumbfounded.

The girl, who had never acted beyond friendship with any man in the academy, opened her arms slightly and threw herself into that long-lost warm embrace, greedily inhaling that familiar scent.

At the same time, it also seemed to be a declaration of sovereignty to the group of female students in the square.

As the girl in green threw herself into Xiao Lei's arms, the entire square fell silent. Faintly, the sounds of countless young men and women breaking their hearts seemed to echo through the air.

When Ruolin, the instructor, and Xiao Yu, who were standing next to Xun'er, saw that the usually reserved girl would make such a bold move in public, they were all astonished.

"How did Xiao Xun'er become so bold? Is it all for that man?"

Hu Jia's eyebrows shot up. If Hu Qian hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have rushed forward and forcibly separated the two who were so inseparable.

Although Hu Jia had become more pleasing to Xiao Lei after what had happened, it didn't mean she was willing to give Xun'er up to her.

Faced with the girl who took the initiative to embrace him, Xiao Lei naturally did not back down at all. He tightly wrapped his arms around her slender waist and lowered his head to gently smell the girl's fragrant hair.

Just then, the system reward message rang in Xiao Lei's mind once again.

[Ding! You touched Gu Xun'er and gained the Xuan-rank high-level soul skill Soul Intimidation!]

[Note: Using this skill will suppress all living beings within its range; those with a significant difference in soul realm can even be directly turned into idiots!]

Soul Intimidation, this skill is somewhat similar to Dragon's Might, but its effect doesn't seem particularly outstanding.

Upon hearing the system's introduction in his mind, Xiao Lei's heart stirred slightly, and he thought to himself.

"Ahem..." The two embraced for almost a minute before Ruolin, the instructor, finally couldn't stand the intense gazes coming from all around and coughed lightly.

Hearing the cough, Xun'er, who was nestled in Xiao Lei's arms like a little bird, finally snapped out of her initial happiness and excitement at seeing the person she had been longing for.

A captivating blush spread across her delicate face, and she quickly broke free from Xiao Lei's embrace, shrinking behind Instructor Ruolin like a mimosa.

Seeing Xun'er's shy appearance, Xiao Lei smiled, then looked at Instructor Ruolin beside him and greeted her, "Instructor Ruolin."

"You still remember that I am your mentor?" Mentor Ruolin glanced at Xiao Lei and said indifferently.

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Of course I remember. I registered with Instructor Ruolin back in Wutan City."

"Hmph, at least you made it to the inner court selection competition this time, so I won't hold it against you," Instructor Ruolin sneered.

Xiao Lei quickly replied, "Instructor Ruolin is truly magnanimous."

"You smooth talker," Ruolin sneered, then said, "Where's your cousin Xiao Yan? Why didn't he come with you? His vacation is over too."

"Ahem, Xiao Yan's matter is not yet resolved. Instructor Ruolin, don't worry, he will definitely be able to make it to the Inner Academy Selection Competition next year, and he will even win the championship."

Xiao Lei coughed lightly and said, "Think about it, if I win the championship this year and Xiao Yan wins the championship next year, they will both be students you recruited. You will also feel proud, won't you?"

"That's easy to say," Instructor Ruolin snorted, "Let's talk about it after this selection competition is over."

Next, Xiao Lei sat in the stands with Xun'er and watched the selection competition proceed.

The selection competition lasted for three days.

However, Xiao Lei did not continue to participate in the competition. Instead, he reserved a spot to enter the inner academy, and the other students had no objections to this.

After all, Xiao Lei is a genuine Dou Wang powerhouse!

The three-day inner court selection competition quickly came to an end, and the top fifty were finally determined, qualifying them to enter the inner court of Canaan Academy.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Among them, Xiao Lei is undoubtedly the champion.

Because the top five in the inner court selection competition received additional rewards, a competition was held for the top five.

Ultimately, the top five were Xiao Lei, Xiao Xun'er, Qing Lin, Hu Jia, and a male student named Song Hao.

Qinglin was able to participate in the competition because Xiao Lei found mentor Ruolin and communicated with Vice Dean Huqian.

After some discussion, Qing Lin was ultimately chosen to replace Xiao Yan in the competition.

Qinglin cultivates a level-three cultivation technique and can also absorb the energy of magical beasts to improve himself. His improvement speed is very fast, and he has already reached the cultivation level of a three-star Grand Dou Master.

Moreover, her Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil ability could also affect humans, ultimately leading her to a fifth-place finish.

"Let's go, the competition is over. Now let's wait for the inner academy's notification," Xiao Lei said to Xun'er and Qing Lin after the final day of the selection competition.

"Hmm," Xun'er and Qinglin nodded in response, and then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the three of them left the noisy square together.

After leaving the square, the three of them walked slowly along the forest path of the academy.

"Brother Xiao Lei, can you tell me about Qing Lin?" After a moment of silence, Xiao Xun'er suddenly raised her head, blinked at Xiao Lei, and asked.

"Ahem," Xiao Lei coughed somewhat guiltily, then said, "I encountered Qinglin when I was training in the Tagor Desert..."

Immediately, Xiao Lei briefly recounted Qing Lin's background and experiences along the way to Xun'er.

"So that's how it is," Xun'er's eyes softened again after listening to Xiao Lei's explanation, and she became much closer to Qing Lin, pulling Qing Lin aside to chat quietly about girls' private matters.

Xiao Lei silently followed behind the two women, his thoughts wandering. His guilt wasn't because of Qing Lin, but because of Qing Lin, he thought of Queen Medusa and the two women, Ya Fei.

Once Xun'er finds out about their affair, she's likely to be caught in a chaotic mess...
