97: Zhang team recruits people, and talents emerge in large numbers

At Great Wall Academy, Li Mingxuan and Qin Tian were currently sitting in a corner next to the freshman plaza.

Not far in front of them, Zhao Qianjun was continuously saying something to the passing freshmen.

It was just that most people seemed startled by his enthusiasm, waving their hands in refusal before fleeing.

"Brother Xuan, you don't think the three of us will have to withdraw from the National College Competition because we can't recruit anyone, do you?"

Qin Tian said with a hint of disbelief. Li Mingxuan, who was beside him, also looked somewhat shocked, his finger trembling slightly as he pointed at Zhao Qianjun in the distance.

"Qianjun is recruiting people like this?"

They saw Zhao Qianjun in the distance wearing a vest, constantly flexing his muscles. On his chest were four large characters "Team Recruitment", and his chest muscles even occasionally rippled with his movements!

Li Mingxuan never expected Zhao Qianjun to recruit people like this. This was only possible within the academy; if they were outside, he would surely be arrested by the Martial Security Bureau.

The scene was too much; he couldn't bear to watch. If he were approached like that, he would also run.

"A few days ago, the Wind and Thunder Stones you gave us, Brother Xuan, were greatly beneficial, so for a while, we forgot the time while cultivating."

Qin Tian also had a look of guilt. Li Mingxuan sighed and patted his shoulder.

"It's alright. With your and Qianjun's current strength, you can aim for the top ten. So, as long as we gather enough people and get some practice in, we might still have a chance."

After returning from Fenglei Valley, Li Mingxuan gave each of them a not-so-small metallic stone containing the energy of the Wind and Thunder Pool, and then he entered cultivation.

Finally, in the last moments, he used up all the Wind and Thunder Stones, and his strength received a qualitative improvement, reaching the Peak of the Martial Warrior Realm.

Zhao Qianjun and Qin Tian also reached the sixth level of the Martial Warrior Realm. Although they had just broken through, they were genuinely at the Peak of the mid-stage Martial Warrior Realm.

With the strength of the three of them, passing the academy's assessment was not difficult. The most important thing now was to gather enough participants.

At this moment, Zhao Qianjun excitedly brought back two people. What was surprising was that these two were twins, indistinguishable just by their appearance.

"The Shao brothers?"

Qin Tian showed a look of surprise, but seeing the confusion in Li Mingxuan's eyes, he quietly began to explain.

"Brother Xuan, these Shao brothers are not simple. Their minds are connected, and they are skilled in the art of assassination, so when they join forces, few people are their opponents."

Even Chu He, who was previously in the top ten of the freshman rankings, lost to these two. However, during the academy rankings, it was all one-on-one duels, which is why these two didn't make the list."

Li Mingxuan showed a look of realization. If that was truly the case, then these two brothers could be considered buried talents.

"Brother Xuan!"

As Zhao Qianjun brought the two closer, the Shao brothers actually took the initiative to greet Li Mingxuan.

"Hello!"

Li Mingxuan was also taken aback for a moment, but seeing their enthusiasm, he quickly returned the greeting, "With your strength, you shouldn't have trouble finding a team, right? You could even create your own team to participate in the selection."

The National College Competition is a competition for first-year students. Hundreds of academies across the country can each send one team.

However, the eight major academies can send three teams. There's no helping it; the resources and student quality of the eight major academies are incomparable to other academies.

Within the academy, students form their own teams, and then three teams are selected within the academy itself to ensure fairness.

Looking at the participating teams from various academies in previous years, those who can be selected are definitely figures from the top ten freshmen of each academy.

Since these Shao brothers could defeat someone in the top ten, they had the strength to contend, which is why Li Mingxuan asked such a question.

Shao Hu grinned upon hearing this, "Brother Xuan, there's a reason why we aren't forming a team ourselves.

First is strength; even if we form our own team, the chances of winning are slim. Second is status.

If we join other teams, they are all people from influential families. They are also insincere towards us brothers, and the disdain and contempt on some people's faces make us nauseous."

"So, my brother and I plan to join Brother Xuan's team. After all, Brother Xuan is considered a role model for those of us without background."

Shao Hu continued, their coordination was like one person speaking, even their vocal tones were exactly the same.

Li Mingxuan nodded upon hearing this, "Alright, our team happens to be short on people. If you join, we'll only need two more."

"Brother Xuan, my brother and I have one more condition!"

Shao Long spoke again. As soon as he said this, Qin Tian and Zhao Qianjun's expressions darkened. The powerful aura emanating from them made the Shao brothers' faces change.

"You guys..."

Shao Long wanted to say something else, but Shao Hu directly interrupted him, "Don't get agitated, we don't have conditions anymore, we just have a question."

Li Mingxuan patted their shoulders. Only then did Qin Tian and Zhao Qianjun withdraw their aura.

"Say whatever you need to say. Since we're on the same team, let's be clear about everything."

"No need, Brother Xuan, we..."

Shao Hu quickly shook his head, but Qin Tian spoke up, "Brother Xuan said to say whatever you need to say. Do you have some ulterior motive?"

"Alright, we're not afraid of Brother Xuan laughing at us, but my brother and I did have some other ideas at first."

Shao Hu sighed before slowly beginning to explain, "Although Brother Xuan is strong, we didn't initially think that my brother and I were weak."

So, after joining, we wanted to have a match with Brother Xuan. If we won, we would take forty percent of the rewards obtained after participating in the competition."

If we lost, we would follow Brother Xuan's arrangements. Now it seems there's no need to compete."

The Shao brothers smiled bitterly. The two of them were only at the fifth level of Martial Warrior. Even facing Qin Tian and Zhao Qianjun individually, it would be difficult for them to win.

If it was two against two, at most they could fight fiercely without falling behind. As for Li Mingxuan, whom the two of them looked up to, there was even less to say.

As if afraid Li Mingxuan would have a grudge against them, Shao Long spoke again, "Brother Xuan, you also know that we don't have Family influence. All resources can only be earned by ourselves, so..."

He stopped at the appropriate moment. Some things only needed to be hinted at.

Li Mingxuan's expression remained unchanged, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If I really couldn't win against you, then it would be reasonable for you to take the larger share."

"After all, it's about getting what we each need. However, my goal is very high. I hope you can keep up!"

After speaking, he unleashed his aura. The two Shao brothers were greatly shaken in their hearts, "Brother Xuan, you, you..."

"As long as you understand, following Brother Xuan doesn't mean you won't have a chance to participate."

Qin Tian reminded the two in a cold voice. The Shao brothers nodded repeatedly. They never expected Li Mingxuan to have surpassed them by so much.

What was laughable was that they had previously dared to challenge him. They truly didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

"Alright, we still need two more people. Let's go find someone."

"Um, Brother Xuan, we do know two people whose strength is sufficient and who haven't joined a team yet. Do you want to give it a try?"

Shao Hu asked tentatively. Li Mingxuan and the other two's eyes lit up. Knowing their strength and still daring to recommend them indicated that those two might truly be capable.

"Who?"

"Crazy Student Ye Wuji, and the commoner goddess Liu Ruyan!"
