Lin Yaotian!
The name Lin Xiao was etched into the minds of many young people.
This nationwide broadcast made everyone recognize him.
Some of his personal information was also leaked by interested parties, and everyone praised him even more after seeing it.
Everyone thought this young man would be a Peerless Prodigy hidden by some wealthy Noble Family.
But the reality was that he came from an ordinary family, and his parents had both died in an accident!
Some even exclaimed, "A son should be like Lin Xiao!"
At this moment, their children began to retort, "Old Fellow, do you want to be buried prematurely?"
The process was unexpected, but the outcome was destined; these children all had a Perfection childhood.
The significance of this competition went far beyond that.
Because of Ji Xiangnan, many important figures in the Imperial Capital paid attention to this year's competition, and the young man Lin Xiao had completely entered their field of vision.
Director Lin of the Meteorological Bureau sat in her office, a smile playing on her lips: "I told you a long time ago, don't blame me for not reminding you."
The room was empty, and it was unclear who she was talking to.
In a simple room, an Old Fellow was constantly flipping through documents when someone suddenly knocked and entered, delivering a message.
The Old Fellow nodded after reading it, continuing to flip through the documents in his hand. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one dared to speculate too much.
Because he was the Chief of the Dragon Nation in this era!
Reactions from all sides were strong, especially from the Deans of Students of the five major universities!
After the results of the competition were announced, the five deans of the academies simultaneously approached Lin Xiao, each of them a little flushed.
Clearly, they had been in heated arguments during this time.
Zheng Guoqing spoke first: "Lin Xiao, this is your reward for being first in this Heavenly Pride Hegemony Contest!"
He took out a Storage Ring from his hand.
"Inside is an S-rank Martial Skill, ten Awakening Stones, and we have also transferred ten million in prize money to your personal account."
The rewards were incredibly generous!
Just an S-rank Martial Skill was hard to come by on the market... What were Awakening Stones for? They must be good things, and ten million, that's real cash!
Lin Xiao felt a little surprised.
The other four, however, had dark expressions, clearly not expecting this Old Fellow to be so shameless, as they had agreed to speak together!
Lin Xiao received the Storage Ring with both hands, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
Then, looking at the five important figures in front of him, he asked in confusion: "Excuse me, leaders, is there anything else?"
"Uh, Lin Xiao, it's like this," Cai Rongguang of Dawn University spoke decisively.
"Haha, speaking of which, we are quite fated! Lin Xiao, do you know the origin of the dawn tower in the Prodigy Training Camp you are in?"
"This student does not know!"
"I am from Dawn University, and we both have the word 'Dawn.' This dawn tower was built by our school!" He said with a proud look.
This scene made the others secretly curse him as an old geezer, always showing off!
Lin Xiao expressed shock but was still a little confused.
"Leader..."
"My name is Cai Rongguang, no need to call me leader, just call me Instructor Cai!"
"Old Fellow Cai, you're going too far!" The others couldn't hold back. He's already calling himself an instructor? What, do you want to just kidnap him like this? Do you think they don't exist?
Then the five of them spoke one after another.
Lin Xiao also understood the intentions of the several leaders; their goal was to hope that he would consider their university more when applying for college.
"Sirs... uh... Instructors, this student hasn't thought that far yet. This student has received your kind intentions, and will definitely consider them carefully."
Lin Xiao really hadn't thought that much; he had only been in his first year of high school for less than half a year.
The instructors expressed understanding; their early contact this time was only to leave a good impression.
At this moment, Li Long of Military Martial University suddenly said, "Kid, you're very good, I have high hopes for you!"
After saying that, he even winked at Lin Xiao, which made Lin Xiao very confused, and even a little flustered!
The other contestants also received their due rewards, and the competition concluded successfully.
After bidding farewell to the instructors, Lin Xiao was preparing to return to the Prodigy Training Camp with Instructor Kuang's group, but was suddenly stopped by a woman halfway.
This person was Lin Yanran.
During the competition, she had been secretly watching from somewhere, and clearly, Lin Xiao's performance made her very satisfied.
"Going back?"
Lin Xiao dared not look up, "Yes."
"Come with me first!"
"Uh... student..."
"Hmm?"
"Alright!"
Just like that, Lin Xiao was once again taken away by Lin Yanran, while Instructor Kuang had already led the other students away in an orderly fashion. He had already received the message and was not planning to wait for that kid Lin Xiao!
Bing Qinru still asked him in confusion.
"Instructor Kuang, isn't Lin Xiao coming back with us?"
Instructor Kuang smiled faintly: "No need, that kid's treatment is much better than ours!"
"Ah?"
...At this moment, Lin Xiao was once again carried in the air by Lin Yanran, just as he had been when he arrived. He had originally wanted to experience the embrace of an angel again.
However, this time he was unsuccessful, being stopped by Lin Yanran.
She also inexplicably asked a question.
"You and Bing Qinru seem to have a good relationship?"
This left the old bachelor, who had lived two lives, at a loss for how to answer, so he could only tell the truth.
"It's alright, that girl only seems cold on the outside, but she's actually very innocent on the inside."
"Oh, you know her quite well!"
"Uh... Director Lin, where are we going?"
"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky, kid. I'm taking you to see someone!"
At this point,
There was no further conversation between them on the way. Lin Xiao felt an inexplicable chill, unsure if it was due to the high speed or the cold wind assailing him.
Not long after,
The two arrived in front of a house.
Lin Yanran pointed to the house, gesturing for Lin Xiao to enter.
Lin Xiao stood still and looked around, which made Lin Yanran furious: "What, are you worried I'll harm you?"
Her face was calm, but the tone of her voice made Lin Xiao feel a little uneasy.
Without further hesitation, Lin Xiao walked in.
"Hmph! Men are all useless!" Lin Yanran stood outside, complaining to the air, looking somewhat cute.
Inside the house,
After Lin Xiao entered, he found the place to be very ordinary, just a common person's house, with a stove, a bed, a broom, and an Old Fellow.
Hmm? An Old Fellow?
Lin Xiao looked at the Old Fellow warming himself by the stove with some uncertainty, because in his perception, there was no one there, but his eyes clearly saw an Old Fellow sitting there.
"You're here? Make yourself at home." The Old Fellow did not turn around, pointing to a wooden stool beside him, gesturing for Lin Xiao to sit down.
Lin Xiao slowly walked forward and sat down.
The room became quiet again.
An Old Fellow and a young man sat quietly in front of the stove, everything looking so ordinary.
It wasn't until the stove burned out that the Old Fellow slowly withdrew his hands and turned to look at Lin Xiao.
What kind of eyes were those? Turbid yet clear, dim yet extremely brilliant.
"I've kept you waiting for a long time, wasting a lot of my time, an Old Fellow's."
"Not at all, this student has benefited greatly!" Lin Xiao shook his head, saying very earnestly.
"Oh?" The Old Fellow became interested and asked.
"Since this student stepped in, I've noticed that everything in this space is ordinary, and as for you, Old Fellow, if I may be so bold, you are a truly great figure. For someone as earth-shattering as you to remain so, returning to the ordinary, this is teaching this student to always maintain their original heart, not to be troubled by external things!"
Lin Xiao explained in detail; he was truly speaking from the heart.
"Hahaha, as expected of the king of prodigies!" The Old Fellow laughed after hearing this; he was indeed very surprised.
"Then, do you want to know who I am?" The Old Fellow pointed to himself.
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment: "Thank you for thinking highly of this student. May I be so bold as to ask who you are, esteemed elder?"
"My name is Lin Yaotian!"
