Chapter 88 Difficulties

Early in the morning, after lunch, many freshmen gathered in the central square.

Soon, several deans and tutors walked up to the platform and began to summarize the freshman assessment. Then, Qingmu Dean Mu Lin introduced the situation of Wenjian College, and the other deans also made speeches in turn.

It was about an hour before it ended, and then the rewards for this qualifying competition were distributed.

"First, the top ten of this competition, please invite the seventh to tenth place, Wang Zijian, Dugu Ming, Nie... to the stage to receive the rewards." A tutor announced loudly on the stage.

Soon, several teenagers walked out of the crowd, and in the envious eyes of the crowd, they walked up to the platform, and several deans personally distributed the rewards.

Looking at the envious expressions on the faces of many freshmen below the stage, these teenagers couldn't help but raise their chests, showing a bit of pride and joy on their faces.

This is really an honor, an honor earned by their own strength!

"Please invite the fourth to sixth place..."

Soon, the rewards for the fourth to sixth place were distributed.

"Next, the top three of our qualifying rounds, third place, Xiao Chuan, second place, Lan Yan'er, first place, Lin——"

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, a cold shout suddenly interrupted.

Instantly, the whole audience fell silent.

Everyone looked at the person who was speaking. The man stood on the high platform, with a strong body, sharp eyes, and a cold face.

Dugu Hong!

Several deans and tutors looked at Dugu Hong in confusion, not understanding what he was going to do.

The freshmen in the audience also looked at each other and whispered, not knowing why Dugu Hong suddenly interrupted the award ceremony.

"Dugu Hong, what do you mean?" Xu Yan looked at Dugu Hong and frowned.

At this time, Lin Xiao in the crowd suddenly frowned, and he felt a bad omen.

Sure enough, Dugu Hong glanced at the crowd and said coldly, "I have objections to the ranking of this qualifying competition!"

Hearing this, the other deans and tutors all frowned, and the freshmen below were also puzzled and whispered.

"Silence, silence!" Dean Di Ling raised his hands, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Dean Dugu, since you have objections to the qualifying competition, you may as well speak directly, but you must give a reasonable reason, otherwise, you will interrupt the award ceremony without reason, even if you are the dean of the external college, you will be punished according to the regulations." Dean Di Ling said.

Dugu Hong's face was calm, and he said calmly, "That's natural."

Then he said, "I generally agree with the ranking of this qualifying competition, but there is one ranking that I think is problematic."

"May I ask Dean Dugu who it is?"

"It's the first place in this qualifying competition, Lin Dan." Dugu Hong's voice resounded throughout the square, and everyone heard it clearly.

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the audience, and many freshmen began to discuss in low voices.

The several deans on the high platform also looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

At this time, Lin Xiao also frowned, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and glanced at Dugu Hong on the stage. As he expected, this old man was targeting him.

"Everyone knows that the highest score record in the history of our Sword-asking Academy's ranking competition is only about 2,000 points, but Lin Xiao has surpassed this record by more than 900 points. Don't you think there is a problem?"

On the side, Xu Yan smiled coldly, "Dean Dugu, high scores can only show that the students are strong and use tactics properly. I don't think there is any problem, and I believe everyone thinks so too."

"That may not be the case," Dugu Hong suddenly changed the subject, "In this ranking competition, a total of ten people from my Dugu family died in the Forest of Demonic Qi, including the main lineage Dugu Ba, and Lin Xiao's score is so high that it can be concluded that he must have killed the children of my Dugu family and taken away their banners, so he can get such a high score."

"To get points, he harmed his fellow disciples. I want to ask everyone here, is this kind of person worthy of being the first?" Dugu Hong said coldly.

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the audience, and everyone was talking about it.

"Is that so? No wonder Lin Xiao got such a high score. It turns out that he killed the people of the Dugu family and stole their banner."

"I didn't expect Lin Xiao to be this kind of person. He could even harm his fellow disciples. Dean Dugu is right. He doesn't deserve to be the first. He should be kicked out of the academy directly."

"I don't think so. Words are not enough. This kind of thing needs evidence. Anyway, I don't believe it. The people of the Dugu family are all tough guys. Everyone is ranked in the top 100 in terms of strength. How could Lin Xiao kill so many people in the Dugu family by himself?"

"Who knows about this kind of thing? Everyone depends on their strength. Everyone has their own ulterior motives to get more points. Who among the top 100 people got the points completely by themselves?"

Many freshmen talked about it, and each had his own opinion. Some thought that Lin Xiao should be disqualified, while others thought that Lin Xiao was right.
