Lin Xuan and the two sisters had not seen each other for some time. A few days ago, Lin Xuan was busy with his transformations. After he succeeded, he then became busy improving his strength. In the past ten days or so, Lin Xuan did not show up for any classes.
The last time they came, they brought dinner with them. It should be his turn to return the favor. Coincidentally, he still had some money after selling the poisonous centipede.
He bought a few delicious meals for the three of them. In the end, he even bought some food for their familiars.
There was a thick wool carpet in the living room. He placed the low table in the middle, adjusted the temperature of the room, and finally placed the dishes on the table.
It felt like a gathering.
The two sisters came quickly.
“You’re here. Come in. Please.”
Lin Xuan waved his hand and invited the two of them into the house.
“It smells so good.”
The lively Lin Zhenxing sniffed carefully. A strong fragrance came from the house and she could not help but exclaim her excitement.
When they sat down, they chatted as they ate.
He cut off a piece of crispy roasted lamb and put it into his mouth. He picked up a bottle of green spirit fruit juice and took a small sip. He let out a comfortable sigh. “So, what is this about the school team recruiting?”
Lin Xuan didn’t know what the school team recruiting was. After all, it was his first time going to such a top school in his life…
......
Lin Zhenyue picked up a piece of spicy rabbit. However, she didn’t expect that Lin Xuan would order an extremely over-the-top spicy rabbit. At this moment, she was crying as she kept fanning her mouth with her hands. After hearing Lin Xuan’s question, she looked at her younger sister who was busy eating, then forced a bitter smile, “It’s for the National Senior High School League. The National League… do you know what that is?”
Lin Xuan nodded. The National League was a senior high school league organized by Taixia Country. All the senior high school students across Taixia Country could participate in it. Each year, there would be a single champion and a team champion. The moment they win, the school that the student attends would receive the resources of the Ministry of Education!
So far, only nine high schools had won the championship. These nine high schools were also known as the top nine schools in Taixia Country!
“It’s too late to recruit new students. It’s been three months since the school started…”
Lin Xuan frowned. Did they really care about recruiting new students at this time?
“It’s normal that you don’t understand. Actually, it’s always been like this. The cultivation of ability users is not something that happens overnight. From the Day of Awakening to the recruitment of the school team, two to three months have passed. People with talent, high perseverance, and amazing ability have begun to stand out. Many people have also confirmed their teammates.”
Lin Zhenxing swallowed a mouthful of roasted lamb contentedly. After that, she took another sip of fruit juice.
“Therefore, it’s recommended to select the members of the school team at this moment. It’s also the tradition of the top nine universities.”
Lin Xuan nodded. Although the National Leagues were the competitive stage of all the high schools in Taixia country, only the top nine universities would have a higher chance of winning the championship!
“So, how does it go?”
Lin Xuan knew nothing about it. On the contrary, the Lin sisters had a grandpa who was the principal. They had been watching the match every year since they started school. Therefore, they knew clearly what to do before the match.
Lin Zhenyue slowly spoke.
“The official selection is to wait until the beginning of the next semester. There will be an arena battle. That will determine who will be the next captain of the individual team and the main force of the school team. It’s still too far away for now to tell.
“First, what we need to do is to increase our strength. Before the end of the winter vacation, we have to rise to the peak of the yellow rank. We can not lag behind in terms of physical strength. Then, we have to increase our bloodline, cultivation method, occupation, skill level, and magic patterns!
“Then, there are the selection conditions that have to be met. The school team is divided into individual and team members. At the beginning of December, the school will announce the Dragon, Tiger, Wind, and Cloud ranking boards. The Dragon and Tiger ranking boards record individual skills and the Wing and Cloud ranking board records the team’s skills. If you want to be on the ranking board, it’s very simple. You need to kill a black-rank monster and provide a battle video!
“Once you are on the two ranking boards, you can skip the second half of the year’s auditions and directly compete for the position of team leader and main force.
“In addition, the winter vacation assignment for the first high school’s rocket class is to explore a yellow-tier dungeon. This isn’t considered a necessary task for the school team to recruit new members, but it’s a necessary condition for you to pass the next semester!”
Lin Xuan’s entire body was numb!
A black-rank wild monster?!
Yellow-tier dungeon exploration?!
For Lin Xuan, these two things were simple. However, it might be so for the rest of his classmates! Those with a talent lower than an S+ rank would have a hard time clearing these missions.
Lin Xuan, who previously did fight an almost mystic rank Earth Dragon had an exceptionally hard time. There was a certain level of danger when it came to working as a team to defeat a monster.
Lin Zhenyue saw that Lin Xuan had stopped eating the meat and frowned as she pondered. She was a little puzzled. “What are you thinking about?”
“Black ranks are quite strong. Why is the school system like this?!”
“Uh… What are you comparing them with?”
“The Earth Dragon in the real dungeon!”
“Have you ever thought about how much giant dragon bloodline in the Earth Dragon’s body was taken? If a mystic rank monster does not have a powerful bloodline, they might not be that strong honestly.”
Lin Zhenyue shook her head. Back then, although the Earth Dagon had fallen in rank, its actual strength had not fallen. Lin Xuan being able to kill it was the only thing that shocked them.
“To us humans, the mystic rank monsters are not difficult to kill. An expert who reached the peak of the yellow rank can easily kill ordinary mystic-rank monsters.”
Lin Xuan suddenly felt a little more confident with his capabilities. Previously, he had killed an Earth Dragon in a real-life instance dungeon, and he had even killed one that was above his level. Now, his cultivation method had reached the pinnacle of the yellow-rank, and his talent specialty had broken through to the mystic-rank. The two bloodlines had also completed the transformation, and he also had the heaven-rank magic.
Although his strength had doubled, he was still keeping a low profile!
In addition, the skill system had been preliminarily constructed. If they wanted to fight, they could fight, and if they wanted to escape, they could escape.
