Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 606 Attitude
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

Tongtian College, 9th Campus, Student Union Office.

"Who can tell me what's going on with this Xu Yang?"

A young man with long hair, feminine appearance, elegant and handsome, threw the file in his hand on the table, glanced at everyone, and spoke in a low tone, but there was still a heavy sense of pressure.

"Isn't it said that he is a newcomer who doesn't even have any talent?"

"Why, in just seven months, has he made it into the top ten of the rookie list?"

"Who can give me a reasonable explanation?"

The man clapped his hands and looked at everyone coldly, making the atmosphere even more heavy.

Most of the people were silent about this. Only a woman in plain clothes spoke calmly, "There shouldn't be any problem with the talent statistics. Although Zhang Yan is very close to him now, she would never dare to tamper with this matter at the beginning, and there is no reason to tamper with this matter!"

After hearing this, the man's expression relaxed a little: "That means he is really a newcomer with no talent. The reason why he was able to succeed is because he later awakened his talent or got some opportunity?"

"That should be the case."

The woman nodded and continued, "It is said that he is a solo fighter. His personal strength is very outstanding. Coupled with some coincidences, it is reasonable that he has become stronger and bigger like a snowball."

"Within reason?"

As soon as the words fell, a sneer was heard, and someone questioned: "There are many lords who play solo, how many can stand out, and how many can make it into the top ten of the rookie list? Not to mention that he has no talent, even if he has relevant talent and even draws rare territories, such development is beyond common sense."

The woman turned her eyes and found that the person who spoke was also a woman. There was a bit of sarcasm and mockery in her words, and it seemed that she was not on good terms with her.

However, the woman's expression remained unchanged, and she only asked in return: "So?"

“So there’s something wrong here!”

The other party was straightforward and stood up directly: "I have investigated. This person is an orphan. His parents were only second-level lords when they were alive. They were ordinary lords who were not on the ranking list. They did not leave any treasures after their death, let alone the family power. If he had not been raised by the academy, he would not have lived to this day."

"Besides that, before he entered the Tower of Babel, his performance in all the academy courses, including martial arts courses, was mediocre and did not meet the standards for solo play at all."

"But after entering the Tower of Babel, he seemed to have found his feet. He ranked in the top 9,000 on the rookie list right after the safety period ended. He then performed brilliantly in the battle to attack and defend Zhang Yan's territory. It can be said that he single-handedly helped Zhang Yan defend the territory."

"After helping Zhang Yan defend the territory, his ranking on the rookie list jumped rapidly again, and then he entered a month of safe time. This shows that he successfully captured a territory and killed the enemy lord."

"After this safe period ended, his ranking on the rookie list had reached over 3,000, which attracted the attack of the Lord of the Demon Abyss. Then, four months later, his ranking jumped from over 3,000 to over 80, and then from over 80 to the current top ten."

"What does this mean?"

The man glanced at the woman, then turned to the young man and said, "This means that he not only defeated the attack of the Demon Abyss Lord, but also gained a lot of benefits from it. That's why his ranking has increased so rapidly."

"I have investigated. During the period when his ranking rose sharply, a total of five lords on the Demon Abyss First-Class Reputation List dropped off the list. It was obviously the result of being killed and their territories occupied by others."

"We have confirmed that two of them were killed by the first and second place winners on the rookie list. The forces behind them have also made publicity, but we still don't know who killed the remaining three lords."

"In addition, during this period, Zhang Yan also sold a large number of items in the Tower of Babel, including captive soldiers, weapons and equipment, and even heroes. The origins of these spoils are enough to confirm a fact."

The man's words sank, and he said in a firm tone: "The three Demon Abyss Lords who fell off the list were caused by Xu Yang."

"So, here comes the problem!"

"How did he do that?"

"God-level talent?"

"Rare territory?"

"Or a strong civilization?"

"What kind of opportunity could allow an orphan without a father or mother, a family or clan, no talent, and not outstanding in academics to soar into the top ten of the rookie list and the top five thousand of the reputation list?"

These words hit the nail on the head, and everyone frowned when they heard them.

Only the plain-dressed woman remained calm: "The Tower of Babel is a collection of miracles. Talent and background determine the starting point, but not the end point. He is lucky to have this opportunity."

"It is indeed his luck!"

The other party heard this, but did not buy it: "But don't forget, our Tongtian Academy is not doing charity. He is an orphan whose parents have both passed away. He relied on the support and protection of the academy to survive to this day and to have what he has today. But now he plans to cross the river and burn the bridge to start his own business!"

“Burning bridges?”

"Start your own business?"

The plain-dressed woman turned her gaze and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Does this need to be said?"

The other party smiled coldly: "He is now clearly aiming to challenge the Rookie King and even the Rookie Ranking and the Double Champion. The academy has already negotiated with various forces. This year's Double Champion will be obtained by our Tongtian Academy. The academy has made a lot of investment for this. Where does he put the academy by doing this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they were agreed by everyone around.

"Not bad!"

"The academy has already negotiated with various forces for this year's double champion. His actions will not only embarrass the academy, but will also break the unspoken rules of the major forces. After that, everyone will fight for the Rookie King and the double champion, which will cause bloodshed and damage the collective strength of our Babel Tower lords."

"In the past, all the major forces used every possible means to compete for the rankings, which not only resulted in the deaths of many potential newcomers, but also nearly provoked a war between the major forces, which simply weakened the power of our Lord of the Tower of Babel and allowed the Ten Thousand Demons to profit."

"The major forces have learned from their mistakes and set the rules of this list to avoid the occurrence of things that would make their relatives sad and their enemies happy. Now he rushes forward brazenly. How should we deal with this? Should we give him the double champion spot of our Tongtian Academy, or break the rules and engage in that bloody competition for the list again?"

"If he knew how to repay a favor, that would be fine. It's not that we can't give him this spot, but he clearly has a rebellious heart. We contacted him through Zhang Yan and wanted to discuss the double champion spot and reward distribution, but he ignored us. What does this mean?"

"There are many outstanding newcomers in our school this year. There is even a core seed who has awakened a god-level talent in the main campus. He has been designated as the Rookie of the Year. The school has invested a lot of resources in him to prepare for the double championship. If his good fortune is ruined..."

"The double champion's reward includes a talent improvement. Unless he also awakens a god-level talent, it would be a waste to give him this reward."

"He alone has brought embarrassment to our Ninth Campus and even the entire college. Isn't this considered as having ulterior motives?"

Everyone talked at once and soon the situation became clear.

The plain-dressed woman frowned upon hearing this and looked at the young man in the center: "Raising the orphans of the Death Lord is a strategic system personally established by the dean, and it is also an important foundation of our Tongtian Academy."

"Now that we finally have a newcomer who can become a role model for this system, if we suppress him, then the credibility and reputation of the academy will be completely destroyed. By then, students from all schools will be alienated, and we will not only be saddled with a bad reputation, but also become enemies with such a talented newcomer..."

"No one wants to suppress him!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone: "The academy wants to communicate with each other and ask him to give up the rewards of the Rookie King and Double Champion. The academy will compensate him in other ways. But now he is not willing to communicate at all. It is obvious that he wants to set up a new school."

"Yes, if we really want to suppress him, how can a new lord like him turn things around?"

"It's not that we don't give him a chance, it's that he doesn't give himself room!" "He's only at the first level now, but he dares to pull a classmate like Zhang Yan to form a small group. In the future, won't he carve out a mountain to establish himself as the king and completely split from our college?"

"These people who don't care about the overall situation, have wolfish ambitions, and are ungrateful should be dealt with as soon as possible."

"I suggest you just take action and knock him off the list. It's a waste of time to talk so much."

"..."

Everyone was talking, and their attitudes were very clear.

Seeing this, the woman in plain clothes could only keep silent.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the young man in the center.

Facing everyone's gaze, the man remained silent for a long time before responding: "Go call Zhang Yan and talk to him again. If he is willing to accept the academy's compensation and give up the title of Rookie King, then this matter will be over. Otherwise..."

The man turned his gaze towards the plain-dressed woman before he finished speaking, "An Ran, you are responsible for this matter!"

"..."

The woman was silent for a while, and finally nodded and agreed: "I'll do my best."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

……

On the other side, in the Lord’s world, in the Yellow Turban Parade Ground.

"drink!!!"

With a shout and full of momentum, Lu Qiling flew down and slashed at Xu Yang with the halberd in her hand. Hua Mulan on the other side also took advantage of the situation to attack from both sides. The two heroic girls, one on the left and one on the right, one up and one below, cooperated very well.

However, Xu Yang's long stick was like a spirit snake or a mad dragon, hitting the gap and hitting Lu Qiling's chest and abdomen, knocking her away. Then he turned the stick and swept it across to hold down Hua Mulan's spear, forcing her to half-kneel on the ground, her face pale and her breathing becoming increasingly disordered.

"what!"

Xu Yang smiled, put away his long stick, looked at Hua Mulan who was half-kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Lu Qiling who had reorganized her formation on the other side: "Come again!"

Lu Qiling gritted her teeth and said nothing more. She came running over with her painted halberd in her hand and stood with Xu Yang again. Hua Mulan also stood up and joined the battle. The sounds of spears and sticks clashing were endless, and the training ground was filled with the chaotic figures of the three.

This went on for who knows how long...

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, Lu Qiling turned over and landed on the ground, but she still couldn't help but bend her knees and lean on the ground, gasping for breath. Hua Mulan, who was standing next to her, was also sweating profusely, her hair disheveled, and she could no longer bear the heavy burden.

Only Xu Yang remained normal, without showing any sign of weakness, and only praised the two, "Not bad, you have made a lot of progress."

After saying that, he threw the stick in his hand onto the weapons rack on the training ground.

"Battle sparring complete!"

"Mulan gained 10000 experience points!"

"Lv Qiling gained 10000 experience points!"

"Mulan's martial arts skills have been upgraded by one level!"

"Lv Qiling's strong attack skill has been upgraded by one level!"

"Mulan's favorability with you has increased to 220 points!"

"Lv Qiling's favorability with you has increased to 180 points!"

"The favorability between Hua Mulan and Lu Qiling has increased to 60 points."

"Thanks to your guidance and training, Mulan's physical attribute is +1!"

"Thanks to your guidance and training, Lu Qiling's physical attribute +1, and the unparalleled attribute +10!"

"..."

The prompt of the Tower of Babel sounded, and Xu Yang also stepped forward to help the two women who were almost at their limit.

More than three months have passed since the siege.

In the past three months, Xu Yang has done a lot of things, the first of which was to help Zhang Yan and Feng Cheng regain their territory.

Needless to say, his current combat power is, if not invincible among the first-level, at the very top. The two Demon Abyss lords who occupied their territories were not even on the list. Facing their counterattack, he could not resist at all and quickly abandoned their territories and fled in defeat.

After helping the two to retake their territories, he continued his conquest and expansion. He took out the counterattack order and general attack order obtained from killing the lord, and successfully seized two territories, one from the Black Lotus Lord Jin Ling who was killed by him last time, and the other from Adams who failed to escape during the siege.

Killing a lord outside the territory will not allow you to directly obtain the opponent's territory, because there is a high probability that there are soldiers and heroes stationed in the opponent's territory. Only by attacking with the obtained battle order (general attack) can you seize the opponent's territory.

Because the lord had died, the process of seizing the territory was very easy. Afterwards, Xu Yang joined forces with Feng Cheng and Zhang Yan to capture the territories of the two "house thieves" so that they would also have room for development.

In this way, Xu Yang obtained two more territory treasure chests, which opened up a large amount of resources and two territory fragments, allowing his territory world to be further expanded.

Unfortunately, there were only resources and territory fragments, and no high-quality items or equipment were dropped.

This is understandable. After all, his current combat effectiveness is too strong, while the opponent has lost its lord and elite troops. The combat effectiveness of the territory has been greatly reduced, and the quality of the spoils will naturally be greatly reduced.

But it doesn't matter. Xu Yang's current physical attribute has reached the top. Unless he advances and breaks through, no amount of equipment can improve it. The most he can do is arm the hero, which is about the same.

Resources and territory fragments are different. Relying on the resources in his hands and the further expanded territory, Xu Yang started a vigorous "large-scale military training" plan, constructing various buildings, recruiting various soldiers, and the territory construction is in full swing. His reputation value is also growing rapidly. Today, he has made it into the top ten of the rookie list.

Apart from building the territory and training soldiers, Xu Yang spent the rest of his time either cooking with Wu Zhi in the tavern or sparring with Hua Mulan and Lu Qiling in the parade grounds.

During the three months of continuous training, the two of them improved a lot of their attributes and skills, and Lu Qiling even caught up in level. Now all three of them are level ten, reaching the limit of their level.

As the level increases, the favorability also increases. Although no new combination skills appear, the relationship between the three people becomes closer.

It is worth mentioning that the effect of favorability is not only between lords and heroes, but also between heroes. Therefore, after three months of sparring, the favorability of Hua Mulan and Lu Qiling has also increased a lot, and there is even hope of generating combined stunts.

No, it’s not a hope, it’s a sure thing!

After all, both of them are daughters of generals, they have excellent compatibility and strong complementarity, so it is only a matter of time before they create combined special skills.

Hero compatibility is also a science. The lord must clearly understand the compatibility of the heroes and then match them to maximize the hero's effect. Otherwise... you can imagine the scene and consequences of the combination of Wu Dalang and Ximen Qing.

This is not a game. Heroes can not only betray their lords, but also backstab their colleagues. There are countless heroes who are hostile to each other and even fight each other because of their incompatibility. If the lord does not know how to control and reconcile, internal strife is only a matter of time.

Fortunately, Xu Yang is very lucky. He has three heroes under his command. The two heroines have compatible personalities. Wu Da stays in the tavern and doesn't care about worldly affairs. The few ordinary heroes recruited later have no sense of existence at all. Let alone internal strife, they can't even quarrel. At most, it's just... competing for favor?
