Lin Feiyu felt humiliated. This time, he charged towards Xiaoying with all his might.
Xiaoying clearly felt that Lin Feiyu's strength was growing. To be precise, Lin Feiyu had a treasure on him that could boost his strength instantaneously.
After the boost, Lin Feiyu's speed reached its peak. His movements were too fast for the naked eye to follow.
Xiaoying also quickened her pace and confronted Lin Feiyu head - on. The battle between the human and the spirit pet dazzled the onlookers.
"How did their speed suddenly become so fast?" Some ordinary students could no longer see their movements clearly.
Apart from the elders and teachers, most of the students could not make out their actions. They could only see the after - images of their hands clashing. It was hard to tell who was getting the upper hand.
"Yeah, I can't see clearly either."
"I remember Lin Feiyu wasn't this strong before. How did he suddenly become so powerful?"
"Maybe he leveled up?"
"But there's no news saying he leveled up."
"The Lin family must have known about this competition in advance. After all, there's a Lin family member serving as an elder in our academy."
"You're right. It's not surprising for a family like theirs to get the news and prepare in advance."
"Given Lin Feiyu's situation, this must not be an ordinary competition."
"If it's not an ordinary competition, it must be for a spot in the special class."
Generally speaking, the goal of students in the inner academy was to enter the special class. Only the special class could make them fight so hard. So when they saw this situation, they immediately guessed it was related to the special class.
"Did the Lin family secretly help Lin Feiyu level up so he could enter the special class?"
"Sure. So this new student, Feng Yuqin, might just be a filler..."
Bang!
As the voice faded, everyone thought it was Xiaoying who was sent flying. However, what happened next left them stunned.
Xiaoying was standing firmly on the competition stage, but Lin Feiyu was nowhere to be seen. They looked towards the edge of the stage and saw Lin Feiyu lying there, a look of confusion on his face.
Apparently, Lin Feiyu himself didn't expect that he had lost.
Yes, he lost.
There was a barrier around the competition stage, but there was also an edge area inside the barrier, below the stage. If a contestant was knocked down and couldn't get up or fell into this edge area, they lost.
This left everyone speechless. Even Lin Tianlong, sitting in the spectator stand, was a bit slow to react. After all, the Lin family had invested so much in Lin Feiyu. They thought he was sure to win this time. But unexpectedly, Lin Feiyu had lost.
He... had actually lost.
"Yeah! Aqin won, haha..." Zhao Yuanyuan laughed heartily.
"Aqin is amazing... and the spirit pet is even more amazing, haha..." Dong Yaxian was as happy as a child.
"impossible..." Lin Feiyu came to his senses, got up from the ground, and pointed at Xiaoying angrily. "I didn't lose. He cheated."
Lin Tianlong: "..."
Others might not be able to see clearly, but how could he not? But what could he do?
Just as he was thinking about how to help Lin Feiyu, Kou Chengzhi spoke up. His eyes fell on Lin Tianlong, with a half - smiling expression on his face. "Elder Lin, you've been watching the competition. Do you think Feng Yuqin's spirit pet cheated?"
If Kou Chengzhi hadn't asked this question, Lin Tianlong might have tried to make excuses earlier. But when he met Kou Chengzhi's gaze, Lin Tianlong knew that if he did, not only Lin Feiyu but also he would be in trouble.
So, hating Lin Feiyu for his incompetence, Lin Tianlong gritted his teeth and said word by word, "No! It! Didn't!"
Kou Chengzhi didn't want any more trouble, so he directly announced, "The top five in this competition are Feng Yuqin, Zhao Yuanyuan, Dong Yaxian, Shi Zhenxiang, and He Tianyu..."
Judging from the competition time and strength, these five were the fastest.
"My God, they're all new students." The senior students in the inner academy found it hard to accept.
"Yeah, we've been training here for two or three years, but we're not as good as a new student?"
Since they were all new students, Kou Chengzhi had arranged opponents whose strength was not too different from theirs. And the senior students with similar strength were usually not those who had been in the academy for a long time, because the strength gap would be too large and the competition would be impossible. This arrangement was to see the explosive power of the new students.
In fact, except for Shi Zhenxiang and He Tianyu, Kou Chengzhi was quite satisfied with Feng Yuqin and the other two. Feng Yuqin's spirit pet was so powerful, so he believed Feng Yuqin couldn't be too bad. And Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian had also made great progress. Their progress was different from that of Shi Zhenxiang and the others. The former had truly improved their strength, while the latter won with the help of family treasures. There was still a gap between them.
However, since they had won, the five spots that had been discussed before still had to be given out.
Just when everyone found it hard to accept, the news that Kou Chengzhi announced next made it even more difficult for them to accept.
"Regarding this competition, our academy has decided to give five spots in the special class." As soon as Kou Chengzhi finished speaking, the crowd erupted.
Some students couldn't help asking, "So these five new students will enter the special class?"
"That's right." Kou Chengzhi nodded.
"But this is so unfair." Some students began to protest.
"Yeah, other students didn't get any special treatment when they entered the academy. Why do they?"
The academy had definitely considered such doubts.
"Because Feng Yuqin entered the academy by passing the trials. When she passed the trials, she activated many things that others couldn't. So these are what she earned with her own ability."
"But there's no such rule in the academy, right?" As soon as this was said, Kou Chengzhi's eyes turned stern.
"Are you sure?" Kou Chengzhi said coldly. "What class are you in? You haven't even memorized the academy rules?"
The student who was pointed out by Kou Chengzhi turned pale. He knew that if Kou Chengzhi said so, there must be such a rule in the academy regulations. And the others had quietly checked the academy rules in their jade tokens with their spiritual sense. Sure enough, they saw that if a student entered the academy by passing the trials, they were eligible to compete for a spot in the special class. There were many ways described in detail. If they directly refused the treasures, they could directly enter the special class. If they didn't refuse the treasures, they could also choose to compete or pass other levels. In short, if a student entered the academy by passing the trials and activated the bonus questions or broke someone's record, there were many benefits.
They didn't enter the academy by passing the trials, so they had never read the introduction about the trials in the academy regulations.
