C448 Preliminaries Start
Today, all the new disciples had come to the main peak of the academy. Of course, other than them, there were also many older disciples.
Altogether, there were nearly a thousand people.
Although the academy did not want to watch any battles, these people were, after all, disciples of various professors. In addition, there were many good seedlings among these people, so the instructors had basically all come to the scene.
Even the dean, who was extremely mysterious to new disciples like them, had appeared in the plaza.
The dean was an old man with a head full of white hair and a beard.
He had an imposing expression, and when he stood in front of the crowd of disciples, the scene immediately became absolutely silent. Even if no one introduced him, the new disciples would be able to tell that he was the dean of the academy with a single glance.
When the dean's hawk-like eyes swept across the disciples, Lin Long realized that his gaze had obviously stayed on the disciple for the time of two breaths.
The time was so short that it seemed to be unintentional, but Lin Long's powerful spiritual will had told him that the dean had noticed him.
Presumably, it was because he knew how to refine that medicinal liquid. Lin Long, who was thinking like this, did not take it to heart.
After all, other than being able to refine the solution, he did not display too much talent.
After saying some encouraging words to the disciples, the dean announced that the preliminaries had begun.
The difficulty of the preliminaries was very low, because the pills they refined were only second grade.
With such difficulty, it was impossible to enter the last sixty places of the Pavilion of Announcements.
Therefore, this preliminary round was just a test for new disciples. It had nothing to do with entering the Pavilion of Announcements.
Medicinal Pills of this difficulty did not pose a challenge to Lin Long at all. However, he did not display such an eye-catching appearance, just an ordinary appearance.
He had pretended to fail twice, and only after quite a few people had refined it did he succeed.
This sort of result could be considered the upper and middle rankings. It was completely possible for them to enter the final semifinals.
Two hours later, the preliminaries were over. Then, the list of participants to enter the semifinals was announced.
During this process, those who did not perform well just now were naturally in a state of panic.
In the end, the result was as Lin Long had planned, he had entered the final round of the semifinals.
He also noticed that Murong Xue and Mo Tian had also entered the final round of the semifinals.
Murong Xue was one of the top two hundred names on the list. It should not be difficult for her to make it to the preliminaries.
As for Mo Tian, he was a far cry from the others. At the end of the line, he was on the verge of being eliminated.
This was completely outside of Lin Long's expectations. Because he had come into contact with Mo Tian before, he knew that Mo Tian shouldn't be that bad.
Something must be wrong with the refining process, Lin Long thought.
After announcing the list, the instructor at the front also let the disciples leave.
Originally, Lin Long wanted to turn around and head back, but after thinking about it, he hadn't seen Mo Tian for a long time. Furthermore, something must have happened to Mo Tian just now, and since Mo Tian wasn't too far away from him, he walked towards him.
However, before he could even reach Mo Tian, he was stopped by a few unfriendly looking people.
"Mo Tian, you're so bold. You actually dared to refine it better than laozi, causing laozi's reputation to be ruined. Say, are you looking down on my Senior Martial Brother Wu?" A youth with a relatively large stature arrived in front of Mo Tian in a vicious manner.
"Senior Martial Brother Wu, it's a misunderstanding. I didn't think that I would succeed just now, but who knew that I would succeed so easily." Mo Tian chuckled.
What did he mean by 'his hand slipped'? It was clearly on purpose.
Hearing this, Senior Martial Brother Wu was instantly angered, "Mo Tian, do you want to drink a forfeit if you refuse the toast?"
With that, Senior Martial Brother Wu raised his fist towards Mo Tian Shi.
However, his arm was immediately grabbed by the person beside him.
"Senior Brother Wu, don't be angry." Senior Martial Brother Wu lowered his fist after hearing that. However, his pair of eyes were still glaring furiously at Mo Tian. If eyes could kill, then Mo Tian would probably break into several pieces.
"Mo Tian, with your strength, you definitely won't be able to enter the final 60. How about this, you give this opportunity to Senior-apprentice Brother Wu to take a walk around the semifinals. In the future, we Seniors Wu and the others will not forget your kindness." That Senior Martial Brother Wu said.
"Mo Tian, this is something easy for us seniors to talk about. We don't have to bother about what happened earlier."
"Of course, if you don't know what's good for you and still refuse to give the chance to Senior Brother Wu, then don't blame us for being impolite."
You know who Senior Brother Wu is, right? He's the cousin of the academy's number one genius, Yang Jian, if you offend Senior Brother Wu, it's equivalent to offending Yang Jian. Yang Jian is the young master of the Yang family, the strongest family nearby.
The others also followed suit. Some disguised themselves as white and some as black. In short, they wanted Mo Tian to give the opportunity to Senior Martial Brother Wu.
The academy didn't give any chances to explain. The reason why these people said that was because Senior Martial Brother Wu's grade just so happened to be two hundred and one. Once Mo Tian gave up participating in the semifinals, this Senior Martial Brother Wu would be able to participate.
Hearing the flattery of these people, Senior Martial Brother Wu proudly raised his head as if he were the emperor himself.
"Seniors, you are too enthusiastic." Mo Tian said at this time.
After hearing Mo Tian's words, they thought that Mo Tian had been suppressed by them to the point of agreeing.
One of them immediately nodded proudly, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, a wise man knows his place."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Tian added, "Unfortunately, Junior Brother, I don't want to give the opportunity to Senior Brother Wu."
"You're courting death!"
Senior apprentice brother Mo and a few others immediately got angry and surrounded Mo Tian with a "huu la" sound. It seemed as though they would immediately teach Mo Tian a lesson.
"What are you guys doing? This is the academy." Mo Tian frowned and quickly replied.
The reason why he dared to reject them was because this was an academy, so they wouldn't dare to act rashly.

"So what if you're in the academy? Who dares to stop me?" Senior Martial Brother Wu said with a dark expression.
Normally, they were used to bullying others. The people they bullied didn't even dare to say anything, so naturally, they were even more arrogant.
Of course, they were also people with brains. They would never provoke powerful figures, only people like Mo Tian who looked like small fries.
In addition, since this place happened to be at the edge of the plaza, there weren't many people who noticed them. Thus, they were naturally not afraid of threatening Mo Tian in front of them.
Turning his head to glance at the side, Mo Tian's expression turned ugly. This was because a few people who saw this scene immediately turned around and left, as though they were afraid of entangling themselves in trouble.
"Kid, you still haven't figured it out?" Seeing how Mo Tian was looking for help, senior apprentice brother Mo got even angrier, and directly punched towards Mo Tian Shi.
With a "pa" sound, the fist he raised up high was firmly grabbed by someone.
Turning around, he saw someone he didn't know. Senior Martial Brother Wu's face immediately darkened as he asked, "Who are you?"
Although he asked this question, in his heart, he had already decided to teach this arrogant person a lesson, making him regret his actions today.
To someone he did not know, it was definitely not a lot of energy, so he naturally did not put them in his eyes.
Senior brother Wu, opposing Mo Tian's eyes lit up, because the one holding onto Senior brother Wu's arm was none other than Lin Long.
Earlier, he did not notice Lin Long at the side, but he did not expect Lin Long to appear just like that.
