Xiao Xiao was not a super rookie, but her fame exceeded most super rookies. This was because although she was ranked third in this year's graduation exam, she was ranked third in Beijing City. The value of her fame far exceeded that of a typical province's super rookies!
Furthermore, she was the only successor of the Battle Arena Corporation. She had a net worth of tens of billions and she was devastatingly beautiful. She could have used her background to be superior to others. She could have used her looks to garner the attention of others, but she used her strength to prove herself.
This formed a stark contrast with the prodigal and spoilt hedonistic second-generation hedonists in Beijing's high society.
In this era, Xiao Xiao, who was addressed as a "princess" by the masses, was clearly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And in today's first elimination round, Xiao Xiao was about to take the stage. Her opponent was not very famous, and his strength was in the lower middle of the 256 contestants. Hence, there was not much suspense in the battle. However, in order to catch a glimpse of the princess's elegance, the audience had arrived early, filling up the audience stands.
.....
Outside the contestants' resting area, three people had arrived at the entrance. They had encountered a problem that was not trivial.
"Sorry, please show your identification. Although there is indeed a freshman named 'Chen Lingcun' on the contestant registration form, it is unknown why there is no photo. If you do not have an identification card, we will not believe your words."
A few security guards blocked the entrance as a middle-aged man dressed in a suit said gently.
The silver-haired youth frowned slightly.
The red-haired woman beside the silver-haired youth stared at him and was about to say something when the silver-haired youth immediately glared at her. The red-haired woman grunted and bitterly shut her mouth.
The handsome silver-haired youth standing behind the silver-haired youth and the red-haired woman said softly, "Brother, why don't we just forfeit?"
The silver-haired youth shook his head and said, "No, you have to think of a way to increase your presence. Try your best to eliminate Bai …'s aura. This collective training between the two factions will give you an extremely high degree of exposure. It just so happens that you have not advanced to the Psionic Soul Realm after neglecting your cultivation for the past few years. This is practically a heaven-sent opportunity. It would be a pity to miss it."
The silver-haired youth shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "If I want to increase my fame, there are many ways. As long as …"
The silver-haired youth shook his head and laughed. "You do have a lot of wicked ideas, but most of them can't be put on the table. The right way is to train the two factions."
Upon hearing the conversation between the two, the suited man could not help but roll his eyes. He really wanted to ridicule them. The two sects' collective training wasn't something you could enter just because you wanted to. Fame wasn't something that could be increased just because you wanted to. First, you had to have the strength!
The silver-haired youth said helplessly, "Alright, you're my brother, you have the final say."
The silver-haired youth smiled faintly and looked at the suited man. He frowned and pondered.
The reason why there was no photo on the registration form was probably because the person who checked the photo had forgotten about it. This was the disadvantage of having a low presence, but there was no identification card at all. How could he show it?
Could it be that he had to rely on that layer of relationship?
The silver-haired youth glanced at the red-haired woman beside him. He had never liked to borrow the strength of others, let alone the red-haired woman beside him.
At this moment, the suited man's eyes suddenly lit up. He walked forward and said loudly, "Princess Xiao Xiao, this way please."
The trio turned their heads and saw a beautiful girl with long pink curly hair. She was dressed in a white long-sleeved top and white lace skirt. There was a large pink bowtie pinned to her chest as she walked towards the door.
The security guards made way, opening up a wide path for her.
Xiao Xiao nodded politely and turned her head to glance at the trio. Soon, she retracted her gaze and was about to walk into the lounge.
The silver-haired youth's eyes suddenly flashed a wise glint as he turned his head to the silver-haired youth and said with a chuckle, "It's time to show my true skills."
The silver-haired youth was slightly surprised as he shook his head and said with a laugh, "You have a solution?"
The silver-haired youth did not answer as he silently walked forward and said, "Princess Xiao Xiao, please wait!"
Xiao Xiao's footsteps came to a halt as she turned her head to take a glance. Slowly, she fixed her gaze on the silver-haired youth and said in puzzlement, "Oh?"
As the silver-haired youth walked forward, the security guards acutely reached out their hands to block him. The silver-haired youth stopped about three meters away from Xiao Xiao and said softly, "Hello, my name is Chen Lingcun. I'm Shi Xiaobai's friend!"
When Xiao Xiao heard the three words "Shi Xiaobai", her breathing immediately stagnated. She was obviously not unfamiliar with the name. The encounter in the virtual world was still fresh in her mind. At the final moment, he had told her his name and stabbed her in the heart. It was difficult for her to forget it.
After meeting Shi Xiaobai, she truly understood that there was always someone better out there. She had been desperately cultivating over the past few days, hoping that she could be selected for the two sects' collective training. If she could meet the little pervert who had once carried her while running, she did not want to be left behind by him.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard the name from a stranger she met. She immediately felt as though she had been in an illusion for a lifetime.
"How did you know … that I know Shi Xiaobai?"
Xiao Xiao exhaled. During the virtual competition incident, the identity of "IChooseDogLeading" had always been a mystery. It was as though no one other than her knew that Shi Xiaobai was "IChooseDogLeading". And the only interaction she had with Shi Xiaobai was that incident in the virtual world. Then, how did the person in front of her know that she knew Shi Xiaobai, and how did he say the words "I'm Shi Xiaobai's friend"?
Chen Lingcun smiled and said, "Xiaobai once mentioned you."
This sentence was obviously a lie. Chen Lingcun had unintentionally seen the news that sank into the ocean. From the news' description, he had wisely guessed that Shi Xiaobai was "IChooseDogLeading". However, he did not know what Xiao Xiao's relationship with Shi Xiaobai was, nor did he know if Xiao Xiao knew that "IChooseDogLeading"'s name was Shi Xiaobai.
Hence, he directly said that he knew Shi Xiaobai. It was to prevent himself from saying a bunch of bullshit and Xiao Xiao asking him who Shi Xiaobai was. That would be embarrassing.
Now, from the looks of it, his luck was not bad. Xiao Xiao indeed knew Shi Xiaobai, and it seemed like their relationship was pretty good?
When Xiao Xiao heard Chen Lingcun's words, her eyes lit up slightly. She opened her mouth as though she wanted to say something but stopped. Moments later, she said bashfully, "What … did he say?"
When Chen Lingcun saw Xiao Xiao's performance, he was slightly surprised. From the looks of it, their relationship was not just pretty good?
Chen Lingcun immediately mimicked Shi Xiaobai's tone and said, "This King will eventually save the world, what more a mortal princess?"
Xiao Xiao burst into laughter. This sentence made her recall the various conversations she had with Shi Xiaobai in the virtual world. His expression when he spoke was still vivid in her mind.
This sentence was indeed Shi Xiaobai's style. For the silver-haired youth in front of her to know this, it appeared that his relationship with Shi Xiaobai was not shallow.
At this moment, Chen Lingcun suddenly said, "Alright, I won't disturb you any further. In fact, I'm also a rookie participating in the selection. Let's talk again if there's a chance in the future."
When Xiao Xiao heard this, she hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "Alright!"
Although she wanted to know more about Shi Xiaobai from Chen Lingcun, it was not appropriate for her to ask too much on their first meeting. It would be too abrupt.
Xiao Xiao turned around and walked into the resting area.
Chen Lingcun also turned around in a deadpan manner, as though he was prepared to leave.
The suited man hurriedly went forward and said, "Since you know Princess Xiao Xiao, you are definitely not an impostor. Please come in."
Chen Lingcun's back was facing the suited man as he winked at the silver-haired youth.
The silver-haired youth shook his head and said with a laugh, "Haven't I owed Shi Xiaobai enough? Now, I want to add to it? "
Chen Lingcun shrugged his shoulders and said, "After owing ten million, would he care if he owes another thousand?"
The silver-haired youth could not help but laugh. What Chen Lingcun said made a lot of sense. He was rendered speechless.
