Principal Zhao’s expression turned ugly when he heard Alliance Leader Li’s words.
However, the other party was a vassal of the National Alliance after all. As a city-level principal, he couldn’t afford to offend him.
“This... didn’t you say that the National Alliance would send people to recruit? It’s not good to change people at the last minute, right?” Principal Zhao said cautiously.
Although the Northern Expedition Alliance was very powerful, it was still inferior to the National Alliance. Principal Zhao still wanted to fight for Ren Qi.
After all, the difference between entering the National Alliance and entering the Northern Expedition Alliance was quite big.
Before Alliance Leader Li said anything, the students who had just been recruited behind him spoke one after another.
“What do you mean? Are you looking down on our Northern Expedition Alliance?”
“A trash who has awakened a Tier 3 succubus should already consider himself lucky to be able to enter our Northern Expedition Alliance. This can be considered the luck he has accumulated for eight lifetimes.”
“That’s right. In my opinion, there’s no need for Alliance Leader Li to personally recruit this kind of guy who relied on luck to become a scouting flower. It’s fine to just inform him.”
“Tch, if it wasn’t because this assessment was special and the succubus’ charm had a very powerful effect, he probably wouldn’t even be able to pass the normal-level assessment.”
“Hmph! If I had a succubus soldier, I would also be able to become a scouting flower. However, I would rather not have this scouting flower if I had to get a succubus soldier. What’s the use of recruiting a useless trash with no combat strength?”
This time, Ren Qi used a Tier 3 succubus to quickly clear the Nightmare-level assessment. Naturally, it shocked most people, but it also caused some people to be jealous.
After all, the soldiers they had awakened were all above Tier 4. However, not to mention scouting flower, they didn’t even make it into the South Sky Rankings’ top 10.
Naturally, they were unconvinced by Ren Qi’s results. One after another, they looked down on Ren Qi’s achievements, acting like it was no big deal.
“That’s right, teacher. It has already been proven that tier 3 succubus troops are useless. The last one who awakened succubus troops is still in the flesh business.”
“People like him who rely on luck to obtain a scouting flower are simply not worth the effort to recruit.”
“The further he grows, the weaker the battle strength of the succubus will be compared to other troops. It’s useless to the Alliance.”
“From the moment he awakened the succubus recruitment pool, this guy was destined to be a waste.”
“So, this so-called scouting flower is just a complete sham.”
“I suggest not to waste too much time on him. It’s better to recruit more people from the top of the South Sky Rankings.”
Su Haowei, who had just been accepted as a disciple by Alliance Leader Li, also said harshly. His mouth was full of disdain for Ren Qi.
“You! Why are your words so vicious?” Li Dongyang couldn’t help but ask.
He took a step forward. Li Dongyang directly said in anger, “What is luck? Ren Qi was always the top student in our school’s mock exam every year. In this exam, he relied on his knowledge of the spider demon cave and his bold and careful operation to achieve such a good result.”
“What right do you have to deny Ren Qi’s hard work with just one sentence? What right do you have to say that Ren Qi is trash?”
Hearing this, Su Haowei’s face turned red.
However, he had just taken Alliance Leader Li as his teacher. Coupled with the fact that he had reached the top ten on the South Sky Rankings, he naturally didn’t want to lose face.
“Humph! No matter how much nonsense he spits, the Tier 3 succubus he awakened is trash. Otherwise, why wouldn’t the people from the National Alliance come? Because they don’t like it!”
“A lord has to resist against the monsters, not just pass the exam. When the time comes, will he charm those monsters to win?”
“His scouting is just a joke!”
“You!” Li Dongyang was so angry that he wanted to punch Su Haowei twice.
“Hm? What? You want to attack my student?” Alliance Leader Li looked at Li Dongyang’s expression and raised his eyebrows.
Li Dongyang facial expression went stiff. His whole body felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave.
Alliance Leader Li was a Tier 7 lord and was extremely terrifying.
After becoming a Tier 5 lord, the strength of the army would be reflected back to the lords themselves. Moreover, the lords could also increase their own strength by eating demonic meat. Although its absorption power was less than 1/10,000 of that of the army, over time, Alliance Leader Li had still become very strong.
Principal Zhao hurriedly tried to smooth things over, “It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. If anyone has something to say, then let’s talk it out.”
Just when Principal Zhao was about to say a few words of entreaty, the office door opened and Ren Qi calmly walked in.
“Trash? Joke? You’re not even the champion or the second ranker. Yet you dare to spout so much nonsense about me, who’s ranked third!”
Ren Qi’s gaze landed on Su Haowei. His expression was calm, but he was sharp.
Su Haowei subconsciously lowered his head, then noticed his actions and angrily said, “I am Su Haowei from the top ten of the South Sky Rankings. The awakened unit is a Tier 6 scarlet flame luan[1]. As for your Tier 3 succubus? In front of me, it’s trash! Just trash!”?(1: The luan is a mythological bird in East Asian mythology.)
“A trash? A waste? Let me ask you then. If you had awakened a Tier 3 succubus, would you dare to choose the Nightmare difficulty?” Ren Qi indifferently asked.
Su Haowei was stunned for a moment. His face turned red, but he couldn’t say anything.
If he awakened a Tier 3 succubus, he would probably lie flat on the ground. He wouldn’t even dare to think about the Nightmare level.
Ren Qi said disdainfully, “Then let me ask you again. You awakened a Tier 6 scarlet flame luan. What difficulty did you choose?”
Su Haowei’s face changed, and he stammered, “H-Hard... difficulty.”
Ren Qi coldly said, “You only dared to choose Hard difficulty after awakening a Tier 6 soldier, but you still have the face to insult me when I had a Tier 3 soldier and yet dared to choose a Nightmare difficulty? You really are shameless!”
“You!” Su Haowei almost suffered internal injuries, and he angrily said, “That’s just because this assessment was beneficial to the succubus.”
“If it were a different exam, you wouldn’t even know how your Tier 3 succubus died.”
“Humph! No matter what you say, a Tier 3 succubus is a waste. Your scouting flower is a joke as well!”
Ren Qi’s eyes slightly narrowed. Looking at Su Haowei in front of him, he said, “Good! If you say that I’m a joke, then do you dare to fight with me in the secret realm? Let’s see whether you, with your Tier 6 unit, are better than me – a person with a Tier 3 unit.”
Hearing this, Su Haowei was stunned for a moment, then he directly sneered. “Are you crazy? A Tier 3 succubus actually wants to challenge me? You’re just courting death.”
“I’m afraid that your succubus will turn into ashes the moment it touches my scarlet flame luan. The soldiers that you have accumulated for two days will be gone. At that time, there won’t be a place for you to cry.”
Before the Lord’s Space materialized, the accumulation of soldiers was very important.
After all, after a Lord’s Space materialized, the recruitment process would require energy crystals. and energy crystals were much harder to obtain than demonic meat. Even one less recruitment might affect their survival after the Lord’s Space materialized.
Ren Qi looked at Su Haowei and indifferently said, “Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you dare to accept my challenge? If I can’t take you down within ten minutes, then you win!”
