The Heavenly Mandate Cult has reappeared!
"It's been a long time since I've been home!"
In a car, Lin Xiao sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
Unconsciously, three months had passed since he left.
The Prodigy Training Camp had officially ended.
Instructor Kuang had specially arranged a car to send him home. Sitting in the car now, Lin Xiao truly felt a bit homesick.
Pingan District.
No. 3 Middle School.
Today, the school was very lively. Many students gathered at the entrance, and some even climbed onto the walls.
Because just yesterday, an announcement was broadcast over the school's intercom: Lin Xiao was back!
All the students couldn't stay calm.
Lin Xiao!
He was the Prodigy of their No. 3 Middle School, the king of prodigies who dominated the entire Heavenly Pride Hegemony Contest!
He was back!
This was monumental news.
The entire school, from top to bottom, inside and out, became exceptionally excited.
All the students had arrived early to wait at the school entrance for the god-like young man to appear.
Many beautiful girls had even started meticulously dressing up since last night, showcasing their most beautiful selves.
At this moment, in the principal's office, besides Principal Chu of No. 3 Middle School, there were a few other figures.
They were Principal Li of No. 1 Middle School, Principal Wu of No. 2 Middle School, and District Chief Ma of Pingan District.
They were chatting and laughing.
"Old man Chu, you really stepped in dog shit! How could you encounter a peerless Genius like Lin Xiao!"
Principal Wu was very envious. He also wished he could meet such a student; it was like his ancestors had smoked from their graves.
No, it was probably more than just smoking; they had caught fire!
Principal Chu's smile hadn't stopped all this time, and he had even smiled out crow's feet.
Principal Li on the side also chimed in. Originally, their No. 1 Middle School in Pingan District had the highest teacher and student resources, as well as the highest annual promotion rate.
But this year, old man Chu had discovered a Triple S-rank Genius, so it was only a matter of time before No. 3 Middle School surpassed them.
Ordinary people might not understand, but as high-ranking officials of the entire district, they had a certain concept.
A Triple S-rank Awakened One, as long as no accidents occurred midway, would surely become a pillar of the entire Dragon Nation in the future. Such a great figure standing at the Peak was something they had never dared to imagine before.
"Principal Chu, has Lin Xiao said when he will arrive?" District Chief Ma was also eager to meet this young Prodigy again.
"He should be here soon..."
Suddenly,
A thunderous cheer erupted from outside.
They exchanged smiles; speak of the devil, and he shall appear!
Lin Xiao was back!
Lin Xiao was bewildered at this moment. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the school entrance surrounded by people, and the walls were covered with banners.
All of them were welcoming him.
"Welcome home, Lin Xiao, Prodigy of No. 3 Middle School!" And so on... Looking at the students cheering for him, Lin Xiao also smiled slightly.
At this moment, a slightly plump young man struggled to make his way out of the crowded group. He immediately jogged forward.
"Hahaha, Grandfather! My dear Grandfather, you're back! Are you tired? Do you want me to give you a back rub!"
Lin Xiao's mouth twitched. He was still a child; where did this grandson come from!
"Wang Ye, be serious!" After speaking, he suddenly noticed that his best friend had lost a lot of weight.
"Did you lose weight? Why did you get so thin?"
This young man was Wang Ye.
He hooked one arm around Lin Xiao's arm and used the other to clear a path through the packed crowd in front.
"Move aside, all of you, move aside! Don't you see my Grandfather needs to get through?"
"Quickly make a path! If you delay my Grandfather's business, no one can bear the responsibility!"
The other students frowned. It was that fat guy!
On weekdays, he always boasted in school that he was Lin Xiao's biological grandson, showing off everywhere. They didn't expect him to actually have a relationship with Lin Xiao!
However, no one stepped forward at this time. An incredibly wide passage immediately appeared, and all the students consciously stood on both sides.
Lin Xiao, thus, was 'supported' by Wang Ye into the campus under everyone's adoration.
The two talked for a long time, and Lin Xiao finally understood why Wang Ye had lost so much weight.
It turned out that in the special training class, their instructor truly didn't treat them as humans. In these three months, he had lost nearly seventy jin!
"Lin Xiao, come to my house for dinner when you're free! My old man at home keeps nagging me about it!"
Lin Xiao smiled and didn't refuse, saying he would definitely visit his uncle when he had time.
Then, he was called over by the principal.
"Look, who's here!"
As soon as he entered, he heard the principal's undisguisedly excited tone.
"Hello, District Chief Ma, hello, Principal, hello, two leaders!"
Lin Xiao greeted them one by one.
"As expected of the Prodigy of my Pingan District, truly a young hero!" District Chief Ma's laughter was like a rainbow.
Principal Chu on the side waved his hand and introduced, "Lin Xiao, these two are Principal Li of No. 1 Middle School and Principal Wu of No. 2 Middle School!"
The two principals also praised the young Prodigy, saying it was indeed so!
"Oh, right! Lin Xiao, this is the agreement we made earlier! You have exceeded the target, and this is the reward I promised you!"
Principal Chu took out a card and handed it to Lin Xiao!
Lin Xiao was delighted; 30 million yuan had arrived!
At the same time, Principal Chu looked at District Chief Ma and the other two principals, constantly winking.
District Chief Ma was the first to speak, "Lin Xiao, you are the Prodigy of my Pingan District, and you have brought such honor to our district. On behalf of Pingan District, I present you with a 30 million yuan Cultivation fund, hoping it can assist you!"
He also took out a card.
Lin Xiao accepted it again, expressing his utmost gratitude, his face full of joy!
Principal Li and Principal Wu exchanged glances, shaking their heads as they looked at old man Chu, thinking he was truly an old schemer!
The two also stepped forward and each handed Lin Xiao 10 million yuan as a welcome gift.
Lin Xiao accepted them with a smile, showing no hint of politeness.
This trip yielded 80 million yuan; it had to be the principal!
He secretly gave the principal an affirming look, it was a sure thing!
After a brief chat, District Chief Ma and the two principals took their leave. Lin Xiao, at Principal Chu's signal, stayed behind for a while.
"Good kid! Truly, a few days apart feel like three autumns!" As a high school principal, old man Chu himself possessed considerable strength; he was also a Martial Artist at the Early Stage of the Sixth-rank.
Seeing him again this time, he vaguely sensed a powerful energy from Lin Xiao, quite astonishing, which greatly surprised him!
He was filled with emotion, truly getting old; the waves behind push the waves in front!
"Principal, you flatter me. This student indeed learned a lot this time!" Lin Xiao respected Principal Chu from the bottom of his heart.
"What are your plans next?"
Given Lin Xiao's current strength level, continuing in the first year of high school was no longer appropriate. The entire No. 3 Middle School, including the teachers, probably couldn't teach him anything anymore.
Lin Xiao thought about it. He had actually considered this question on his way here.
"Principal, may I ask if it's possible to skip grades and participate in the College Entrance Examination?"
Indeed, with his current abilities, he couldn't learn anything more in high school. Only by entering the highest academies and accessing a broader platform could he grow rapidly.
Moreover, this year's College Entrance Examination was coming soon!
Principal Chu was not surprised; instead, he smiled meaningfully.
"You little rascal, is it your good luck, or just a coincidence!"
"The Ministry of Education of the Dragon Nation recently released an important announcement regarding this year's College Entrance Examination!"
Lin Xiao listened very carefully.
"Non-third-year students of the current session, anyone with Fourth-rank strength may participate in this national College Entrance Examination, with an age limit under twenty years old!"
After speaking, Principal Chu looked at him quietly. He felt a great trend!
This was too coincidental; such a thing would never have happened in the past. Did circumstances create heroes?
Lin Xiao was somewhat excited after hearing this. This meant he could participate in this College Entrance Examination.
All his conditions were perfectly met. Subsequently, his eyes looked at Principal Chu with anticipation.
"Have you thought it through?"
"This student has thought it through!"
"Good! I will help you apply for registration. For the time being, you can arrange your own schedule; you don't need to come to school anymore!"
"Thank you, Principal!"
Before he left, Principal Chu said meaningfully,
"Lin Xiao, you must not be careless. This national College Entrance Examination is not simple!"
Lin Xiao nodded in agreement. He would never underestimate anyone, at least not until he was invincible!
After bidding farewell to the principal, Lin Xiao walked on his way home.
He still lived in that dilapidated house, somewhat remote from the school, and had never had a chance to move to a new home.
The pedestrians on the roadside became increasingly sparse.
Lin Xiao walked and then suddenly stopped.
At this moment, there were no figures on either side of the road, only the rustling wind. In this hot summer, there was even a sense of desolation.
Lin Xiao stood still, his gaze calmly sweeping around. His eyes had long detected something amiss.
"No need to hide, come out!"
"Heh, truly worthy of being the king of prodigies. I told you all, in front of such a figure, don't engage in these despicable tricks; it's embarrassing!"
Ten mysterious figures dressed in white robes appeared before Lin Xiao.
"Hello, Lin Xiao. First time meeting you, let me briefly introduce myself..."
"I thought it was some rats who couldn't see the light of day. Turns out it's the scum of Heavens Mandate Cult!"
Lin Xiao smiled, a rather chilling smile!
