Suddenly, a burst of disdainful hisses rang out from all around. Everyone clearly looked down on people like Li Zhenghao who surrendered without a fight.
If it had been anyone else, it would have been understandable for them to do so when facing an opponent who was much stronger than them and whom they could not handle at all.
However, Li Zhenghao was the number one genius of the Li family, which was ranked fourth among the aristocratic families. By surrendering, it could be said that the Li Family had lost all face.
Most importantly, he himself had reached the Immortal Demi-Immortal level. Among the younger generation, this kind of strength could be considered very valiant.
Even if he was no match for Xiao Haokong, he would definitely be able to put up a good fight.
What if he was lucky enough to defeat Xiao Haokong?
To be honest, given their strength, it was quite possible for them to do so!
But he didn't even try and directly chose to surrender, which was really shocking.
At that moment, Patriarch Li, who was standing in the distance, had an incomparably gloomy look in his eyes. Even his beard was trembling.
Clearly, he was really infuriated by his disappointing son.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Xiao Haokong. His gloomy gaze seemed to turn into a sharp sword that shot straight at Xiao Haokong.
Although he felt that his son was disappointing, Xiao Haokong was the culprit who had humiliated the Li family this time.
To be honest, he really wanted to kill Xiao Haokong right now to avenge the humiliation he had suffered today.
Unfortunately, this wasn't their territory. If he wanted to make a move, not only would the Yin-Yang Academy not agree to it, even the Xiao family would not let him have his way so easily.
"Patriarch Xiao, your son is much more powerful than you."
Although he couldn't make a move, he still dared to say sarcastic and sarcastic words. "However, Xiao Family Head, you have to be careful. If a genius wants to show off too much, it might not be a good thing."
Don't look down on his son for not being able to live up to expectations, but he was a real ruthless character. From the fact that he dared to compete with the Gu family for Dao-Seeking Mountain's resources, it could be seen that he was not someone who would compromise so easily.
Although Xiao Luoping had many tricks up his sleeve and looked arrogant, he was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. However, he was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Back at the Guo Family, they had wanted to join forces to deal with Guo Yingzhuo. But when Tao Nianyan came, he immediately lost his temper. In the end, he could only sneak away from the scene like a mouse.
Although the current patriarch of the Li family wasn't Tao Nianyan, the Li family wasn't someone to be trifled with.
In the face of Patriarch Li's undisguised threat, he could only smile awkwardly. He wanted to find a good rebuttal, but he didn't know what to say.
Xiao Haokong, on the other hand, reacted quickly. As soon as the man said those words, he retorted, "Uncle Li, Haokong believes that there is nothing to praise about a student surpassing his master. As the saying goes, like father, like son. If Haokong's talent is recognized by Uncle Li, then my father didn't raise me in vain. As for the matter of being too rigid and easy to break, Uncle Li didn't need to worry about it. I'm confident that I can protect myself. "
Patriarch Li's face turned ashen. Although Xiao Haokong's words sounded respectful, he could completely understand the meaning behind them.
The first sentence was clearly mocking his son, Li Zhenghao, for being a good-for-nothing.
The second sentence was also telling him that even if he wanted to attack, he, Xiao Haokong, had the means to protect himself.
"Nephew Xiao, even I can't help but admire your methods and ability."
Patriarch Li could only say, "Since you have the ability to protect yourself, I can rest assured. After all, there are too many dangers out there. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. In any case, when you go out in the future, you have to be more vigilant. After all, there are too many people in this world who are jealous of geniuses! "
After saying that, he looked at his son, Li Zhenghao.
Li Zhenghao had already walked to his side. His head was lowered like a child who had made a mistake. He didn't dare to say a word. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly!
"Raise your head!"
To be honest, when he saw his son standing next to him in such a cowardly manner, he was infuriated. "You're a seven-foot man, but you're acting like a stray dog. Where's your sense of propriety?"
Li Zhenghao shuddered and hurriedly said, "Father! I know I was wrong! "
Patriarch Li said loudly, "Since a man lives in this world, how can he not make mistakes? What's the point of feeling remorseful now? It's better to remember this lesson so that you don't make the same mistake again! It's not scary for a man to make mistakes, but it's scary to keep falling at the same place! This failure will serve as a lesson to you! In the future, you'll have to rely on your own ability to get back at me! "
He was indeed worthy of being the patriarch of a family. The spirit he displayed at such a time was indeed admirable.
It was also because of his words that the Li family's reputation was greatly restored.
"If you want to teach someone a lesson, go back and do it!"
Di Ruolin's indifferent voice was heard again. "The competition is still going on. I don't want your nonsense to interfere with the progress of our competition!"
"Yes! Lord Di! "
Even Patriarch Li had to answer carefully when faced with Di Ruolin's scolding, not daring to show the slightest bit of disobedience.
Di Ruolin lightly waved his hand and then said, "Alright, the competition will continue. Next group! "
… …
The rest of the competition was not very interesting.
Although the younger generation of the Guo family had performed quite well in the rainforest. Moreover, their improvement was also very big. But compared to the others, their starting point was still not good. Coupled with the muddle-headed life they had before, it was already destined that if they wanted to catch up, it would not be something that could be achieved with just a few days of hard work.
Although they did not want to see such a scene, in the end, the Guo family, with the exception of Guo Yongyi and Guo Yongdao, were all eliminated.
At this time, the crowd finally realized that Di Ruolin had not only picked Qin Yi to skip the first round, but also to let the competition continue until there were only a dozen or so people left.
Only at this time, the crowd finally realized that Di Ruolin had not only picked Qin Yi to skip the first round.
As for the previous battles, those with discerning eyes could see that these were just Di Ruolin's means to eliminate those who could not enter the institute.
