"...It's not me, but my situation is similar to my friend's."

Qiao Yu hesitated for a moment, but still admitted it.

After all, he was completely making a friend out of thin air, and Wan Lihao would know the truth as soon as he investigated.

"Hiss!"

Wan Lihao gasped, his teeth aching instantly.

Level 21 with over two thousand attribute points? What kind of monster is this kid?

How many attribute points did I have at level 21? I don't think I even had a thousand.

"Teacher Wan, I understand the principle now, so how can I unleash the true power of two thousand attribute points?" Qiao Yu asked.

"It's simple."

Wan Lihao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"From now on, don't continue to increase your attribute points, but level up as quickly as possible! Integrate your own power, instead of just increasing the power of your weapon! Soon you will be able to unleash the true power of two thousand attribute points."

Leveling up?

Qiao Yu frowned slightly. The brave heart of a mage was his biggest trump card. Not increasing attribute points and instead focusing on leveling up was completely putting the cart before the horse.

Seeing Qiao Yu's disappointment, Wan Lihao comforted him.

"Don't look so gloomy, it's not a bad thing."

"If you encounter someone with similar attribute points and a higher level, you will naturally find it difficult to win. But if you encounter someone with lower attribute points than you? You don't even need to use skills, just a slap will end the fight."

"At least as far as I know, no one in the inner world has broken through two thousand attribute points at the intermediate level. Even Principal Ji wasn't this outrageous at the intermediate level."

"Just try your best to level up..."

As Wan Lihao spoke, Qiao Yu's eyes slowly lit up. He realized that his thinking had reached a dead end.

So what if fighting above his level was difficult? If two thousand attribute points couldn't beat a higher level, he would raise it to four thousand, and if four thousand couldn't beat it, he would raise it to six thousand. Quantitative change would eventually lead to qualitative change.

Moreover, Qiao Yu also realized that Bai Ze's pressure and Zuo You's matter had made him too eager for quick success.

An intermediate level 21 couldn't beat a higher level and he actually felt it was unreasonable.

Now that he thought about it, if he really could beat them, it would only mean that Hei Ji, that high level, was weak.

"Thank you, Teacher Wan! I understand now!" Qiao Yu thanked him.

"Okay, I'm glad you understand."

Just as Qiao Yu was about to leave, Wan Lihao suddenly stopped him.

"Wait!"

"What's wrong, Teacher Wan? Is there anything else?" Qiao Yu asked in confusion.

"Since your total attribute points have exceeded two thousand, you must participate in this Global College Inner World Combat Competition." Wan Lihao narrowed his eyes slightly, "This can be considered bringing glory to the school."

"Combat Competition? Isn't that for senior students in their third and fourth years?"

Qiao Yu suddenly remembered that a fellow villager named Long Xiang had asked him to participate before, but he didn't go...

"Yes, in fact, some outstanding freshmen and sophomores also participate. The combat competition is divided into team competitions and individual competitions."

"The school team for the team competition has already been selected and trained for a period of time. It's not appropriate to arrange for you to join temporarily. If you want to participate, you can form your own team and consider it as a way to broaden your horizons."

Wan Lihao paused for a moment and continued.

"I mainly want you to participate in the individual competition. With two thousand attribute points, I believe you will be able to achieve a very good ranking in the individual competition!"

"Are there any benefits?" Qiao Yu asked weakly.

Bang!

The next second, an iron fist landed on Qiao Yu's head, almost caving in his skull.

"You want benefits for bringing glory to the school? If you achieve a good ranking, the inner world official will naturally have rewards."

Wan Lihao curled his lips.

"I'll give you two choices. One, go through the exclusive dungeon, obtain the qualification to participate in the combat competition and register! Two, fight me."

Qiao Yu was silent for a moment and asked.

"Teacher Wan, isn't your second option the same as asking me to die?"

"Yes."

Qiao Yu: "..."

Forget it, just consider it as repaying kindness.

Qiao Yu smiled wryly. After all, since entering Kyoto University, both Ji Pingyang and Wan Lihao had helped him a lot.

Without them, he wouldn't be where he was today.

Although it felt like it would be troublesome, Qiao Yu decided to participate in this so-called combat competition.

But before that, he had to solve one thing first.

...

"Is this information reliable?"

Qiao Yu asked Shi Shaorong.

"Reliable! I made an appointment with that Lin Lang to meet in the Endless Forest at eight o'clock tonight, he will come! I've already accepted your Staff of Wisdom, would I sell you fake information?"

Shi Shaorong still had that aloof, unapproachable look.

"I'm asking you, is this information reliable?" Qiao Yu asked.

Shi Shaorong raised her head, her expression changed slightly, "Qiao Yu, are you trying to pick a fight? Believe it or not!"

"I would definitely believe it if your information is reliable." Qiao Yu smiled, walking to Shi Shaorong's side as he spoke, "But what if it's unreliable?"

Shi Shaorong: "If it's unreliable, you can do whatever you want, are you satisfied?"

"Okay! I've recorded everything!" Qiao Yu smiled kindly, "If your information kills me, this recording will spread throughout the inner world, and you won't be able to survive either."

It never hurts to be cautious, Qiao Yu had been schemed by Bai Ze so much that he was traumatized.

"Whatever, I've delivered the message. After Lin Lang appears tonight, the rest has nothing to do with me." Shi Shaorong's tone was indifferent.

"Eight o'clock, Endless Forest..." Qiao Yu muttered to himself.

He had to make all the preparations. If he didn't catch Lin Lang this time, finding him again would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

The dark night slowly swallowed the setting sun, and stars dotted the night sky.

Qiao Yu hid in the canopy of a large tree that took three people to encircle, quietly watching below.

He suddenly remembered that the last time he hid in a tree was when Qin Ke and Tang Hao were dating in Ghost Mountain.

If it weren't for Tang Hao, he would have already been successfully possessed by Tang Wumou...

Just as Qiao Yu was lost in thought, a figure wearing a large black robe quietly appeared opposite Shi Shaorong below.

"Very good, I'm glad you can see things clearly. Trust me, after joining Bai Ze, you will have a new perspective on the entire world."

"Thank you." Shi Shaorong smiled faintly, "It's my honor to join Bai Ze."

"Well, come with me, I'll show you the true face of this world!" The man in the black robe turned around with satisfaction.

Then he heard a loud shout from behind.

"Ice Wall Prison!"
