Don’t Show the Son

   Chapter 227 Calculations

   In the first school ground, someone beat Zhang Xin in an upset, the news quickly spread to other school grounds.

   "True or false, there are such fierce people?"

   "It's really hidden!"

   "The master of the land level, Xiaobi was out in the first round. Who would believe it? The Zhang family has done too many bad things, and they have been retributed..."

  …

   The seeded player of the ground rank was eliminated by a mysterious rank, which caused a lot of heated discussion in the entire school field.

   In previous small and big competitions, this kind of thing has almost never happened.

   After watching Lin Xiu's test, the imperial concubine and Shuangshuang left the school grounds.

   Zhao Lingyin, Qin Wan and Xue Ning'er were still in the stands.

   In the subsequent competitions, it is very likely that they will encounter these powerhouses, and they need to understand the abilities and strengths of these people.

  Lin Xiu is also thinking, he is mainly thinking about what abilities he needs to acquire next.

  The water magic, he decided very early.

   Don't look at this ability among the five elements, it is soft and weak, the attack and defense are not very good, and it is restrained by ice, but this is only because the school field is not their home field.

  If it is at sea, or by a lake or a river, their power is infinite, and the restraint relationship between ice and water will no longer exist.

  The magic of water is not weak, but it only needs to be in a specific environment to exert its greatest power.

  Lin Xiu will definitely fly to the sea to practice frequently in the future, and he will feel more at ease when he obtains the magic of water, and at that time, he will be able to practice both water and thunder abilities at the same time.

  The second ability that Lin Xiu wanted to acquire was wind. Not to mention other things, it was very convenient for him to practice the magic of wind. High altitude and sea were the best places to practice.

   In addition, among the Five Elements ability, he still has the other technique of wood that he has not obtained.

Water, fire, metal, and earth are all there, but the lack of wood is a bit uncomfortable for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Moreover, in the forest, the magic of wood is more useful than any ability. After getting it, he There will be one more home.

Water, wood, and wind, these three heaven-level abilities can also bring him three times the speed of cultivation. His current cultivation speed is already thirteen times that of the foundation, and the sum is sixteen times. One year of cultivation , It is worth sixteen years for someone with the same talent as him, Lingyin and Princess Minghe have been practicing normally for eight years, and ice and fire have been practicing for four years.

   Under normal circumstances, there is a multiple relationship between the time required for promotion.

   If it takes fifteen years to go from the upper level of the Xuanjie to the lower level of the earth, then it will take 30 years to go from the lower level of the earth to the upper level of the earth, and it will take at least 60 years to go from the upper level of the earth to the heavenly level.

   This is summed up by predecessors through countless examples.

   In this way, he is expected to be promoted to the upper realm in the next two years.

   Up to six years, at the age of twenty-five, he will be promoted to the heavenly rank.

  At that time, when people called Zhao Lingjun, they had to use Lin Xiu's wife. Lin Xiu fantasized about it in his mind and was looking forward to that day.

  YY is over, we have to face the reality.

Water and wood are easy to obtain. There are many students with this ability in the Yishu Academy. At most, if you follow the idiot once, the wind will be a bit tricky. Song Yuzhang is not an ordinary person. It is very difficult to get close to him and directly acquire the ability. .

   I don't know if the little girl from Murong's family is here. She likes drinking so much, so she finds a chance to get her drunk, and then, hehe...

   Finally, there is another ability, Lin Xiu is not in a hurry to decide, he intends to look for it first.

   Next, several more competitions were held one after another.

Including two from the Song family, a son of the Duke of Wei, and two princes of the royal family, their abilities are not uncommon. One fire, one earth, two wood, and one practiced martial arts, and they were all very easy. defeated the opponent.

  Li Bozhang came on the court, and there was no surprise either.

   followed by four geniuses from other countries.

  The young man from the Western Regions can turn the ground under his feet into sand, and manipulate the sand to attack the enemy. Although his attack power is not to be underestimated, he has not caught Lin Xiu's eyes.

The man from the Promise Kingdom, who practiced martial arts and had no ability to specialize, was a strong man from Beimang, who seemed to be able to put himself into a state of beastly transformation. Whether it was speed or strength, there was a great improvement. Said, the same is tasteless.

   The last one is the one from Java. His ability is Thunder, and Lin Xiu already has it.

   At this point, all the geniuses on the ground level have finished the competition. Except for Zhang Xin, who was defeated by Lin Xiu, everyone else easily advanced to the next round.

After   's competition, Lin Xiu didn't watch it anymore, he started to search for prey on other school grounds.

   In a short period of time, Lin Xiu has seen many abilities that he has never seen before.

  Someone can summon a cloud of fog around, trap the opponent, and hide in the fog to make a surprise attack.

  Some people can hypnotize their opponents from the air and win without fighting. The magic of magic also has this ability.

   There are people who can control the opponent's actions like a puppet, and Lin Xiu can do the same through his mind and mental control.

  The rest of the people have normal abilities, most of them are the five elements, strength, golden body, petrification, etc. These abilities are easy to practice, and have good formidable power. They have always been the most mainstream abilities.

  Lin Xiu turned around, but didn't find any ability to be tempted, and walked back to the first school field.

   He sat between Ning'er and Qin Wan, next to Qin Wan was Lingyin, and to Ning'er's right was Qianye Rin, they were more beautiful than the competition on the field.

  The attention of many people is not on the competition at all, but on them.

   After watching two more games, Zhao Lingyin said: "The next test is not very interesting, let's go back."

   Ning'er and Qin Wan had the same meaning, so Lin Xiu stood up and walked with them outside the school.

   Wait until they walked out of the school grounds, above the stands, and began to whisper.

   "This boy, how is the relationship between women?"

   "If he's like this, does Miss Zhao leave it alone?"

   "Miss Zhao still gave him a concubine. I really don't know what she thought."

"The people around him are really more beautiful than the other. I heard that the daughter of the Xue family, and Qin Wan of the Yishu Academy, have an unclear relationship with him, which is really enviable... "

  …

   In front of the stand, a figure walked up to the Zhang brothers and said to Zhang Xin, "It's really a pity. With your strength, if you don't meet him, next year's competition will definitely be on the list of the best."

   Zhang Xin glanced at him and said, "The skills are not as good as others, there is nothing to say."

  The Prince of Changping shook his head and said: "This prince thinks that things are not so simple. It is too coincidental that so many people have encountered him."

  The Prince of Changping County sighed a few words and then left. Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Ren and asked, "Does the Prince of Changping County have a grudge against that Lin Xiu?"

Zhang Ren smiled and said: "The revenge of taking his wife is not shared. He has liked the Zhao family since he was a child. He has been rejected more than a dozen times. Several times, he was also rejected. When he was in the Yishu Academy, he also pursued Qin Wan, but he didn't succeed..."

   Zhang Yi thought of the scene where Lin Xiu was surrounded by all the girls, and the Prince of Changping, and couldn't help but said, "How pitiful..."

Zhang Ren changed his voice and said again: "But he is right, this matter is indeed too coincidental, let someone go to the Department of Different Techniques to check, if it is a coincidence, there is nothing to say, if someone deliberately targets Zhang Ren Home, we must make them pay the price..."

   Soon, the three brothers also got up and left the school grounds.

   Not long after, a man in the Zhang residence walked into the yard and said to Zhang Ren, "Master Hui, my subordinates have checked, and the one drawn by Lin Xiu is indeed not the Fifth Young Master."

   Zhang Ren's eyes narrowed and he said, "Could it be that someone is really designing Zhang's house?"

  The man said: "Not really. The fifth son was drawn by Princess Minghe. The fifth son's supernatural skills restrained Princess Minghe, and his cultivation base was also higher than Princess Minghe, so Lin Xiu exchanged with her..."

   Zhang Ren did not expect that this matter even involved Princess Minghe.

   Could it be said that the person who designed the Zhang family was the royal family and His Majesty?

   His Majesty has been dissatisfied with the Zhang family for a long time, could it be to suppress the Zhang family?

  The top ten on the Tianjiao list is of great significance to the imperial court. It is closely related to the allocation of cultivation resources, and it is also related to Daxia's right to speak in the next few years.

   To be able to enter the top 100 of the Tianjiao list, although it has no impact on the overall situation, but in the next three years, more cultivation resources can be obtained. Zhang Xin stopped at the small ratio, and only the Zhang family lost.

  Lin Xiu is His Majesty's confidant, so there is a high possibility.

  …

   In the imperial study, Emperor Xia, who was reviewing the memorial, sneezed inexplicably. Zhu Jin walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, there is an interesting thing happening on the school grounds."

   To say that the person who knows him best in the world is Zhu Jin besides Concubine Shu. What he said must be of interest to him. Emperor Xia put down his memorial and asked, "What's the matter?"

  Zhu Jin said with a smile: "Zhang Xin from the Zhang family met Lin Xiu in the first match, was defeated by Lin Xiu and was eliminated."

   Huang Xia was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is it such a coincidence, I remember that his ability is water, as long as he doesn't meet Lin Xiu, there will be no problem with the promotion..."

   Zhu Jin said: "It's just such a coincidence, but the old slave checked and found that Zhang Xin was actually the princess. In order to let the princess advance, Lin Xiu took the initiative to exchange with the princess."

   Huang Xia said: "He is not bad to Minghe, it is worth noting that I am so good to him."

   In fact, at the beginning, he wanted to betroth Lin Xiu Xu to Ming He, but Lin Xiu was very resistant to this, and Ming He did not agree, so he had no choice but to give up.

   Later, when he learned that they were together, they could speed up each other's practice, and he still regretted not insisting on it.

   But the twisted melon is not sweet, neither of them agree, and he has no choice.

   Zhang Xin was eliminated. Although it was beyond his expectations, it had nothing to do with the overall situation. The only loss was the Zhang family. Sure enough, Lin Xiu’s work made him feel comfortable, but he quickly thought of a problem.

   He looked at Zhu Jin and asked, "You said that this matter has something to do with Ming He and Lin Xiu. Would the Zhang family think that I deliberately arranged this?"

   Zhu Jin murmured, "No way..."

   Emperor Xia looked at him and asked, "If you were the Zhang family, would you think so?"

   Zhu Jin thought about it carefully and said honestly, "Yes."

  …

   Early the next morning, Lin Xiu saw the concubine and the pet, and when she came out of Changchun Palace, Princess Minghe was already waiting for her outside.

  Today is the day of the second round of draws.

   In the first competition last night, out of the 800 people, 400 people were eliminated, and 400 people advanced. In the second competition, another 200 people will be eliminated.

   From the third game, no one will be eliminated.

   The following competitions are just rough rankings of everyone, and through rankings, the order of appearances at the time of the competition is determined.

Among the   xuan rank, Princess Minghe is almost invincible. In the first match yesterday, she naturally advanced easily.

   As long as she wins one more game, she will be able to lock the seat of the big game.

When he came to the Department of Different Techniques, before the lottery, Lin Xiu asked him specifically. An official told him that 14 of the 18 rank seeds had already been drawn by others. very small.

   The remaining four, one from the Song family, one from the Wuji Kingdom, and two princes of the royal family.

   Princess Minghe immediately felt relieved when she heard it. This time she decided to draw it herself. She put her hand into the box, took out a wooden sign, and looked at it impatiently.

   Then her expression froze.

  Lin Xiu looked at her stunned expression and felt a little unbelievable in her heart.

No way?

   Is her luck really so bad?

   Hit again?

   He glanced at the sign and saw a number written on it.

Thirteen.

  Lin Xiu was a little speechless.

   He recalled that Zhang Xin was eliminated by him yesterday, and the number of people behind will move up one place, number 13, which should be the royal family's Prince of Jiangning.

   His ability is wood, and Princess Minghe beat him a little, but in terms of magic, fire is not as absolute as ice and water, and it is a big difference, and she has no chance of winning.

   Lin Xiu comforted her and said, "It's okay, I'll change with you later."

   This is not a violation of the rules, and the official of the Department of Different Techniques did not say anything, holding a wooden box and coming to Lin Xiu.

The moment    stretched out his hand, Lin Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at this person.

   Just now, he noticed the fluctuation of the power of space.

   has two spatial abilities, and he is very sensitive to spatial fluctuations. Although the fluctuations just now were weak, they were indeed spatial fluctuations. Someone used the spatial power.

   and Lin Xiu looked at each other, the official's eyes flashed with emptiness, and his expression still pretended to be calm.

  Lin Xiu smiled slightly, still put his hand into the box, and took out a wooden sign.

   Princess Minghe couldn't wait to look over, and the look of anticipation on her pretty face solidified the next moment.

  The wooden sign in Lin Xiu's hand has the number twelve written on it.

   Princess Minghe was drawn to the King of Jiangning.

  Lin Xiu drew the Prince of Changping County.

   Their abilities, one is wood and the other is earth, after the exchange, the chance of Princess Minghe winning is even slimmer, that is to say, in any case, she will be eliminated in the next round and lose the qualification of the big competition.

  Lin Xiu looked at the wooden sign in his hand.

   He and Princess Minghe had bad luck.

   There were only four land steps left, and they were chosen two by them.

   It's just that Princess Minghe was drawn based on her strength.

  Someone is plotting against him.
