The first round of the Spiritual Essence Gathering in the stone circle finally ended. After the five academies decided to give a spot to Su Yun Long, the rest of the people used a method that did not hurt their friendship: drawing lots.
Finally, the two people who drew lots stayed behind, the others did not complain and walked out of the stone circle, Su Yunlong ran to Lu Ping to express his gratitude.
The usher walked into the stone circle, all around were young students who had fallen to the ground, it looked quite tragic, but he was indifferent to it. Today's first round, he was extremely bored, so he ran to be the usher, but what he found in the end made him quite surprised.
There was no need to say anything about the top students from the Amaterasu College, he had already heard about them. Lu Ping and Su Tang were the biggest surprises, but their overwhelming strength made the first round lose its meaning, and became extremely boring.
But it was less hot-blooded struggle, but more calm thinking. In the face of such overwhelming strength, some people used their wisdom to find a way out, although there was no lack of regret.
The usher walked to the front of the unconscious teenager from the Wu Ding Academy, and with a little bit of effort, the teenager immediately woke up.
"Protest!" The teenager who had just woken up immediately shouted, it seemed that he had been holding these words in his mouth before he fainted.
"Protest invalid." The usher said.
The teenager was stunned, he saw who was standing in front of him, and looked around, he immediately knew that everything was over. His face was full of disappointment, but he did not forget to glare at Lu Ping.
"What's your name?" The usher asked.
"Clear Heart Academy, You Xin." The teenager said carelessly, his mood was obviously bad, and he did not want to talk to people.
The Clear Heart Academy was not a famous Academy, but the usher did not care about it, he did not even ask what Academy the other party came from.
"You are eliminated." The usher said.
"I know." The teenager was even more impatient, was it necessary to make a special announcement?
"But I appreciate you." The usher said.
"Who are you?" The teenager asked.
"My surname is Liang, my name is Liang Zheng." The usher said.
"I think I've heard this name before …" You Xin muttered to himself. However, it was clear that he was not the only one who had heard of this name. The many painful groans in the stone circle suddenly became much softer. Many people looked at You Xin with envy in their eyes.
You Xin had been eliminated and was no different from them. But now, they were actually looking at You Xin with envy. Just because Liang Zheng, who is in front of You Xin, said that he admires You Xin.
"Liang Zheng … Liang Zheng, that Liang Zheng?" You Xin finally put on a shocked expression.
"It's that Liang Zheng." Liang Zheng nodded.
Which Liang Zheng? Wei Qin's Liang Gu, the Liang Family's Liang Zheng. The Four Great Clans were so famous that almost everyone could recite the names of their clans backwards. Just like how countless people knew that the youngest daughter of the Qin family was called Qin Sang. Countless people also knew that the third son of the Liang family was called Liang Zheng. It was said that he was the most talented of the Liang family's bloodline inheritors. He had never entered any academy and only cultivated in the clan. He had strength that far surpassed his peers. Although he did not have any power in the clan or the Xuan Army Empire, no one would doubt his bright future.
But now, he said that he admired You Xin.
These ordinary student xiuzhe were participating in the Soul Point Assembly in order to show their strength. To win their future development and future. To be appreciated by the Four Great Clans was something that many people dreamed of.
You Xin, you were clearly the loser of the first test but you were appreciated by Liang Zheng. What did he do? Was it just a few cheers when he realized that there was no chance?
This included the two winners of the five academies, as well as Su Yun Long. Although they were the victors, they would rather use their victory in exchange for Liang Zheng's appreciation. Because they were very clear of their own strength. Even if they won the first test, they might not be able to go far. For a prominent power like the Four Great Clans, not to mention entering the Soul Point Board. Even if you could get into the top ten of the Soul Point Board, people might not even look at you. For You Xin to be able to receive such appreciation, it was a blessing that you had cultivated for several lifetimes. The result of the Soul Point Assembly was not important to him at all. He had already obtained the first class rewards that he could win in the Soul Point Assembly.
You Xin also realized this when he realized Liang Zheng's identity. He was at a loss as to what to do.
"Thank you … … thank you … …" He said emotionally. But other than that, he didn't know what else to say. Liang Zheng said he appreciated him, but did these words mean that he wanted to win him over? It couldn't be a simple compliment, right?
While he was surprised and happy, You Xin was worried because Liang Zheng's attitude was unclear. He wanted to confirm further, but he didn't know how to ask. Should he take the initiative and fight for this opportunity directly?
You Xin was still hesitating and nervous, but Liang Zheng had already given him a clear answer, "You will follow me to work in the future!"
"Ah?" You Xin opened his mouth wide. This time, he was completely relieved, completely at ease, and completely excited.
"Thank you!!" He said again, "I will do my best."
"Okay." Liang Zheng patted him, smiled, and then turned around. Wherever his gaze landed, there would be a burst of expectation. Everyone realized that Liang Zheng would not simply judge based on success or failure. So even if they failed, they still had the chance to be appreciated, right?
These youths still didn't know what You Xin had done to make Liang Zheng appreciate them. They were only hoping that this kind of luck would befall them. But in the end, all the expectant gazes could only watch as Liang Zheng walked away from them, towards where Lu Ping and the others were.
It was no surprise that Lu Ping, Su Tang, and the others' strength attracted attention. If they were appreciated, everyone's envy and jealousy would be built on the basis that they were convinced.
But right now, Su Yunlong was also at Lu Ping's side. When he saw Liang Zheng walking over, his heart pounded. He carefully paid attention to Liang Zheng's movements, and found that the other party's gaze swept over him a few times. But did it mean that he saw him in a different light, or that he thought he was unnecessary here? He didn't know. Of course, he hoped it was the former, so he waited carefully until Liang Zheng walked in front of them. His gaze fell on Su Yunlong.
"I have a question," he said.
Su Yunlong was nervous. He knew that this was a decisive question for him.
"Did you make this decision on the spur of the moment, or did you plan it from the beginning?" Liang Zheng asked.
Su Yunlong was stunned. This question made him immediately realize why Liang Zheng was paying attention to him. However, he needed to give an answer, and it wasn't that easy. Some of the students from the Five Definite Academies who heard this question also realized something, and they all paid attention to it.
"Tell me the truth." Faced with Su Yunlong's hesitation, Liang Zheng was more patient.
"From … from the beginning …" Su Yunlong answered with difficulty, and then he felt countless angry gazes. Everyone knew what he was looking forward to if he had such a plan from the beginning. And all of this was pointed out by Liang Zheng.
"So I can understand that from the beginning, you were hoping to borrow the other party's hand to kick out a large number of students from the Five Definite Academies, and you stood up at the last moment to negotiate and lead the few remaining students to fight for the last three chances." Liang Zheng said.
"Yes …" Su Yunlong didn't dare to look at the other Five Definite Academies' eyes.
"Why do you have this kind of confidence? Why do you dare to have such expectations from the beginning? "Liang Zheng said.
"Because … I understand them." Su Yunlong said.
"They are referring to the Five Definite Academies." Liang Zheng said.
"Yes."
"So after seeing the opponent's strength, you already knew that if this went on, it would definitely collapse, but you didn't try to stop it, because this was exactly what you wanted. Otherwise, with your strength, the chances of you standing in the Five Definite Academies to the end were not high." Liang Zheng said.
"Yes …"
Curses could be heard all around. Although the Five Definite Academies' students didn't show unity, and no one showed generosity of sacrificing themselves to help others, at least no one had the intention of deliberately scheming against their companions.
Everything was exposed. Su Yunlong didn't doubt what would happen if he returned to the Five Definite Academies. Even if he mysteriously disappeared from this continent, he wouldn't be too surprised.
But even so, he didn't want to miss the opportunity in front of him. Even if it was a bit despicable, it was an excellent way to survive at the time, and he successfully stood to the end because of it. He hoped that Liang Zheng would notice the correctness of his choice, but what Liang Zheng said next made him feel like he was falling into the abyss.
"What a good teammate!" Liang Zheng said.
Su Yunlong's face instantly paled. He couldn't explain this, and he only hoped that Liang Zheng could ignore this point. But now, listening to the other party's disdainful tone, Su Yunlong felt that he was finished. His dishonorable means were exposed, and he didn't get the recognition he expected. Next, would he still be able to walk out of this stone circle?
"But …" Liang Zheng said again, "Betraying teammates is also a very rare talent. You should follow me too!"
This turn of events made Su Yunlong extremely surprised. When the Five Definite Academies' students heard this, they showed extremely disappointed and resentful expressions. This guy who betrayed them actually got the recognition of the four major families. There was no justice in this world.
"Thank you! Thank you! "Su Yunlong was also a little incoherent like You Xin.
Liang Zheng ignored him, and his eyes turned to Lu Ping and Su Tang. These two not only showed their strength, but they also had unlimited potential. They were the ones that Liang Zheng really valued. Even Shujihira and the others, he wasn't in a hurry to win them over. He would wait to see their future performance.
"You guys come too!" He said to Lu Ping and Su Tang. His tone was very different from that of You Xin and Su Yunlong. This was the tone of an extremely sincere invitation.
However, Lu Ping and Su Tang didn't appreciate it. They looked at him together and asked, "Where to?"
