New mission: The Battle of the Prodigies

Qi Tian was stunned, standing still and coughing slightly. Bai Mou's palm strike just now had caused him significant harm.

Lin Yanran, who had just managed to calm her emotions, was once again disturbed by that sudden remark.

The gentle breeze came at just the right moment, rustling a few strands of her hair, barely concealing a blush.

She snapped, "Get over here!"

Lin Xiao reluctantly walked over. He was now somewhat nostalgic for his dilapidated room.

Lin Yanran turned and walked to a secluded spot, then stopped.

Lin Xiao stood silently like a student who had made a mistake, a hint of grievance on his face, just waiting to be scolded.

His appearance made Lin Yanran infuriated, her chest heaving up and down non-stop.

Why do I look like the bad guy now?

Who was at a disadvantage in the end?

"Lin Xiao, you truly surprise me. Three days have passed, and you've changed remarkably!"

"Director Lin, you flatter me. Your student merely dares not slack off."

Looking at Lin Xiao's current honest appearance, Lin Yanran felt a slight urge to laugh.

"Alright, stop pretending. I called you here for something."

"Director Lin, please speak freely. As long as your student can do it, I will do my best!"

Lin Xiao continued to display an honest demeanor, respectful of his teacher, simple and sincere.

"I heard you came here for a mission this time. Since the mission is complete, when do you plan to return?"

Lin Yanran had already adjusted her posture. With her Peak sixth-Rank strength, she was an unattainable figure in the eyes of ordinary people!

"Your student plans to return tomorrow," Lin Xiao truthfully replied. He had indeed planned to go back tomorrow, as this mission had taken longer than he expected.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yanran suddenly faced Lin Xiao, her beautiful eyes fixed on his face, making Lin Xiao feel a little embarrassed.

"I have a mission here. If you can complete it, I'll reward you with five thousand points!"

Five thousand!

Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised; this reward was not just big, it was extremely big!

One must know that the mission he had taken on only offered five hundred points, and even then, an accident occurred midway, almost costing him his life!

Five thousand points... "Director Lin, your student would like to know what kind of mission you are referring to?"

If it was very dangerous, then Lin Xiao might just... "Don't worry, this mission will be very simple for you!"

Lin Yanran thought of something, and her large, beautiful eyes curved slightly.

"In two days, the Heavenly Pride Hegemony Contest will be held by the Prodigy Training Camps from the four regions: southeast, northwest. I need you to win the title!"

"If you succeed, in addition to the rewards given to you by the camp, I will personally reward you with another five thousand points!"

"I only have one request!"

"A young person should have the arrogance of a young person!"

"I want you to absolutely crush your way to the Peak!"

"How about it? Can you do it?"

Lin Xiao listened quietly.

That's it?

When he first heard the reward was five thousand points, it startled him, and he thought it would be some extremely dangerous mission.

But it turned out to be just participating in a competition and getting first place?

"That's all?"

He still asked with some uncertainty, as if saying, 'Is that it?'

Lin Yanran didn't know why, but she just felt that Lin Xiao was very annoying right now, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Lin Xiao's observation was very keen, and he immediately raised his hands, not giving the other party a chance to speak.

"This mission, your student accepts!"

"Please rest assured, leader, I guarantee completion of the mission!"

Lin Yanran's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she forcefully swallowed them back, glaring fiercely at Lin Xiao.

Then, both sides fell into silence again.

In this environment, Lin Xiao felt like a day was a year. He couldn't leave, nor could he stay.

His thoughts had already begun to wander.

Suddenly, Lin Yanran said out of the blue,

"Am I scary?"

"Ah, no, no, Director Lin is powerful and gentle with others..."

Lin Xiao immediately expressed his stance, while fiercely criticizing himself internally!

He quickly stated that he would resolutely complete this mission and then left the place.

Lin Xiao sprinted all the way to Li Daoran's office in the police department before stopping.

"Phew! As expected of a Peak sixth-Rank expert, the silent pressure is indeed strong!"

Lin Xiao sighed slightly.

"System, open personal panel!"

"Ding, personal panel has been opened."

Cultivation Points: 54"

Seeing only a pathetic two-digit number of Cultivation Points, Lin Xiao's mood suddenly soured.

"Last life I worked for capitalists, this life I work for the System!"

"Am I destined to be a laborer?"

Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, wondering if he was complaining to heaven.

On the battlefield, Lin Yanran and Qi Tian had already left. Both had expended a lot in this battle. Lin Yanran aside, Qi Tian had truly endured a palm strike from a seventh-Rank Martial Artist.

Pinned firmly to the ground, his injuries were severe.

Li Daoran systematically arranged all the work, and Wang Tianming implemented each task.

This calamity in Fuzhou was considered over.

Inside the office,

"Hahaha, Brother Lin Xiao, this time we really owe it to you!" Li Daoran's face was full of smiles. He was very glad that Lin Xiao had voluntarily stayed behind.

"brother li, what are you saying? As Awakened Ones, we naturally guard the myriad lights of homes!"

Lin Xiao also sincerely looked at Li Daoran, whom he had only known for a few days.

Adversity reveals true friendship, let alone between life and death.

Li Daoran had selflessly blocked an attack for him, and he himself had truly died once.

This kindness, he would never forget!

"Next, Brother Lin Xiao, do you have any plans?"

Li Daoran liked the young man in front of him more and more.

"brother li, I might need to stay here for another day or two."

The Heavenly Pride Hegemony Contest would start in two days. Lin Yanran would then take Lin Xiao with her, so they wouldn't return to the Prodigy Training Camp.

"Great, Brother Lin. Consider this place your home. Stay as long as you like!"

Li Daoran clapped his hands, immediately summoning staff to arrange everything for Lin Xiao perfectly.

"Brother Lin, if you need anything, just tell your elder brother."

"Then many thanks, brother li."
