Chapter 254: Doesn’t Matter

Seeing that Qin Fen was speechless, Lin Xuan smiled and didn’t say anything else. There were many resources in Taixia Country. In Lin Xuan’s opinion, becoming an official member of the Sky-patrolling Alliance was like joining the ranks of chess players who had to share the resources in Taixia Country. The advantage was that it was stable and durable, but the amount was limited.

As for that unknown secret unit, it specialized in causing trouble in foreign countries. Namely, fighting for the enemy’s resources outside Taixia Country. It might be very dangerous or even life-threatening.

This was only a tentative idea for Lin Xuan. There was still an entire year before his national high school tournament came. In this one year’s time, no one knew what would happen. Perhaps, he would directly break through to earth-rank?

In just over an hour, the sky fighter jet returned to the Imperial City. Then it transformed into a sky bus and returned directly to Di Yi.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan and the others returned quietly. There wasn’t any grand welcome party as they had imagined, nor was there any grand welcome ceremony. It was as if Qin Fen’s reputation as the Dragon of Taixia and second in the Wind and Cloud wasn’t important.

“Why is there no one to welcome them?”

To be honest, Lin Xuan was a bit disappointed. In his previous life, the school would definitely boast about such good results. At the very least, the principal would definitely organize a large group of students to come and welcome the return of the heroes, as well as the outstanding alumni who would donate money back to the school.

At that time, Lin Xuan felt that all of this was just an act and some formality. However, today, he never expected that he would feel a little disappointed because there was no such ostentation.

In the end, he was still young, and he loved vanity. That was fine as well. In any case, it wasn’t about him. If he didn’t have it, then so be it. He could be considered to have made mental preparations a year earlier.

“A welcome what? Don’t be ridiculous. It’s not like we got first place. If we didn’t get first in everything, it means we failed.”

Qin Fen sighed a bit. He had risen from nothing and swept all the way with his D-grade talent. He fought his way all the way to the finals of the internal school team selection tournament and the league tournament. He even won this year’s dragon of Taixia Country, unfortunately, he still lost at the last step. He couldn’t carry back the trophy without regrets.

It would be a lie to say that he didn’t regret it. However, he really did his best. It could only be said that his skills were inferior to others.

Grade 12 was a new starting point. After that, they would chase after the rankings on the profound list or even the earth list. Zhang Ningtian was very powerful; however, he was not weak either. Sooner or later, there would be a battle for the rankings!

“Fine, I thought this result was not bad!”

Lin Xuan felt a bit helpless. He had not imagined that this society was more realistic than he imagined. They only recognized the first place!

“The reason why the top 9 universities in Taixia Country are called the top 9 universities in Taixia Country is that these 9 high schools have all won first place in the league tournament. Do you think that those who once stood on the highest point would be complacent because they have climbed up the hillside?”

Su Tian got off the sky bus and looked at the school stele in the square as she said with a complex look, “Good luck. I hope you can bring me good news next year. It’s been a few years since Di Yi won first place in the league tournament!”

“Alright, then I’ll go and do my best. Goodbye.”

Lin Xuan ran into Di Yi’s campus in a flash. It was late spring and early summer. The trees had grown tall and green. However, these trees did not have much to do with the season. The stronger the person was, the more luxuriant their trees grew.

Walking across the 100-meter-long road in front of the school, the small pond in front of the tower was full of lotus leaves. The entire pond had a lot of fish in it. From time to time, small fish would jump out of the water.

He originally wanted to go directly to the Di Yi training hall to cultivate, but the principal called him over.

The door of the principal’s office was half-closed. Lin Xuan gently pushed it open and poked his head out. When he saw that the principal was looking at something on the computer, he even let out a silly laugh.

“Oh!” As if he had noticed Lin Xuan’s arrival, he coughed. “You’re here. Why aren’t you coming in? Do you need me to invite you in?”

“Haha, I thought I walked in on something personal. So I waited.”

Lin Xuan had a look of understanding on his face, which confused the principal. However, as expected of the principal of Di Yi. He often spent time with young people, so there was no generation gap at all. He immediately understood the hidden content behind his wretched smile.

“Heh, you brat, what are you thinking about? I’m watching the second-year high school team’s online award ceremony. What are you thinking of? Focus on your studies instead!”

The principal said unhappily.

“I’ve asked you to come over for a few things. Let’s talk about business first. This year’s tournament has ended. Next year, it’ll be your turn. When the new students start their semester in September, there will be a handover ceremony. Heh, to be honest, although there aren’t many strong captains, there will always be one or two in ten years. However, this is the first time we gained two strong captains in a row!

“Other than the handover ceremony, don’t forget about your graduation hunt. The school team is different from ordinary students. The third-years of high school are about to enter their internship period, so there is no time to deal with the graduation hunt. You’ll be busy with the tournament in your second year of high school, so you only have half a year of free time. I have already sent you the information about the Sea of Chongsou!

“Now that everything is over. This is an earth-rank demon king, the deep-sea whale’s fat, and a tranquil candle. It’s a gift from the Overlord. This is the thunder dao extracted from a thunder ore. It can be used for enchantment or body refining, the Overlord’s gift in return, and this… this too… oh and this…”

The principal took out a large pile of items and piled them on the table. He spread his hands and said, “It’s all yours. Do as you see fit with it! Oh right, they also wanted me to send a message that you’re welcome to drink with them!”

Lin Xuan was really shocked.

Looking at the table full of high-grade materials, he wiped away the tears at the corner of his mouth and stored them all in his personal space, “Oh, I’m too young to drink, but when I’m eighteen,

The principal looked at him with a smile. “You now have enough materials for your mystic rank cultivation. Work hard!”

“Thank you, I will!”

“Wait, there’s one last thing. Although Zhenyue has already contracted a second subdued beast at the end of June, Zhenxing still doesn’t have one. Moreover, your earth realm heart has been in place for so long. It’s time to put it to good use!”

The principal smiled and winked at him.

Lin Xuan nodded as well. If the principal hadn’t mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it. “Alright, I will!”
