Chapter 174 Weakness and Ignorance Are Never Obstacles to Survival, Arrogance Is

Revealing one's true identity, this proposal can indeed reduce others' hostility towards Mu Lin.

After all, the young Mu Ai would be jealous of other teenagers of the same age.

But if Mu Lin was just an eleven or twelve-year-old child, others wouldn't be like this.

At the same time, Mu Lin doing this will also make the girls affected by the rumors less hostile to him.

——Not everyone knows that their reputation is affected because of Chu Lingluo’s mother’s fight with some noble ladies.

In the eyes of some girls and their suitors, the previous rumors were probably spread by Mu Lin himself in order to take advantage of them.

Thinking like this, they were extremely angry with Mu Lin.

However, they would be angry with Mu Lin, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, and felt that he was taking advantage of them.

But if Mu Lin was only eleven or twelve years old, they would not think so.

At the same time, Mu Lin at such an age will make the rumors of the past few days a complete joke. At that time, the rumors are likely to become like this:

"Hey, have you heard about the rumors from the past few days? The one about eight or nine noble girls competing for their husbands."

"I heard that, I always feel that the rumor is not necessarily false?"

"Do you believe such outrageous rumors?"

"Why don't you believe it? Let me tell you, there are many outrageous things in the world..."

"But it is said that the protagonist of that rumor is only eleven years old."

"???"

"...Eleven years old! How did such outrageous rumors spread?"

It is certain that no matter how determined the conspiracy theorist is, he will not think that the previous rumors are true after learning that Mu Lin's true identity is only eleven years old.

However, in the end, Mu Lin did not do this - he felt it was not necessary.

"Ignore them. If we want to get a good ranking in this joint examination, no matter whether they are hostile or not, others will be our opponents."

"Since I have to do it sooner or later, I don't need to care about their opinions and attitudes towards me."

The Lord didn't care, Mu Lin, who had such an idea, didn't notice anything. After he made such a decision, the wish light in the sea of ​​his consciousness suddenly shined brightly.

[Wish Power Heart Lamp Proficiency +331]

This light shone on Mu Lin's soul, making Mu Lin's soul more condensed.

But at the same time, Mu Lin's soul's expression also became a little cold and arrogant, with a hint of arrogance that could not be concealed.

It can only be said that as the first of the seven deadly sins, arrogance is not so easy to control.

In fact, this kind of emotion will not only affect individuals, but also affect the survival of a group of people - ignorance and weakness are never obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

…

The pride in his heart made Mu Lin not care about other people's opinions. Therefore, Mu Lin did not make any move, but silently waited for the start of the game.

On the other side, the elders of the demon fox and shark clan were giving their last instructions before the game to the fox girls and shark girls they had trained.

"Remember, getting the best ranking in this assessment is not our main purpose, nor is it what we can do. But this does not mean that you can relax. If you don't have enough ability, no matter how beautiful you are, You are just a vase. The strong among humans will never pay attention to such a vase, and you cannot help your tribe. Therefore, after you enter the Tower of Heavenly Fantasy, you must go all out and show your abilities."

"I understand, elder, we will work hard!"

Due to the changes in the world, there are quite a lot of alien races arriving this time. In addition to the demon foxes, sharks, and the feathered people who came from very high and far away, there are also alien Qi practitioners from the One-Eyed Tribe, the Stone Man Tribe, and the Tree Man Tribe. .

At the same time, they are different from the Demon Fox and Yuren clan.

The latter may have made up their mind to let humans see how powerful they are, so that humans can cooperate with them as equals, or even look up to them (Feathered People), or they are ready to rely on humans (Fox Clan) .

But small tribes such as the Dumu tribe and the Stoneman tribe who live in remote places in the wilderness are wandering around.

They are willing to cooperate with humans, but they are also afraid that humans will collapse too quickly, unable to help them, or getting themselves implicated.

Uncertain about paying attention, they finally chose to sit back and watch.

That is, from this assessment, we will see the strength and potential of human teenagers.

If there is a decline in the crisis, then break away from the human race, or take a bite of flesh when the human race collapses.

If humans are strong, then we will follow past practices and cooperate with humans.

With this idea in mind, in order to find out the strength of human beings, the alien race sent many geniuses.

At the same time, the attitude of the aliens and the intelligence obtained from high places also made Yuzhou's senior officials attach great importance to this assessment.

There is no way to ignore it. Although humans are strong, they cannot ignore other ethnic groups.

Moreover, the Daling Dynasty itself is about to face a natural disaster. In this case, if it encounters the resistance of the vassal tribe, even humans will suffer great losses.

Because of this, Yuzhou's senior officials want those vassal ethnic groups to quiet down.

"The aliens fear power but not virtue. They must be beaten painfully, so that they will know that even if humans encounter disaster, it is still easy to deal with them. Only in this way can they be made to surrender quietly!"

With this idea, Yuzhou's senior officials hope that in this assessment, the human genius will be able to completely defeat the alien genius, destroy them, and break their mentality.

And this attitude was clearly conveyed by them.

Of course, they conveyed the news to the mountain chief of Yuhu Taoist Temple.

As for the mountain chief, he only informed the geniuses of Yuhu Taoist Academy.

Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, but arrogance is - as the first of the seven deadly sins, this concept of arrogance is not only shared by Mu Lin who has practiced the Will Power Heart Lamp, but also by the mountain chief of Yuhu Taoist Temple.

In his opinion, only his own students are capable of completing the task, and others are insignificant.

With this thought in mind, he did not continue to convey the order at all.

Even though the old man guarding the Weiguang Lei Pond had seen the power of Mu Lin and reported it to the mountain chief, the mountain chief still did not change his mind.

On the other hand, he did have the idea of ​​recruiting Mu Lin into Yuhu Taoist Temple, but the way he recruited him was not the way the old man expected to use resources to throw at him:

"With pure resources, it is difficult to recruit Mu Lin into the Taoist Temple, let alone use them. Don't worry, I know you want to say that the Taoist Temple has a lot of resources. Our Yuhu Taoist Temple does have a lot of resources, but the talents we want to cultivate, and the talents we want to There are so many people to recruit, and we can’t afford to use all our resources to recruit them.”

"Although Anping Dao Palace and Longyou Dao Palace have fewer resources than us, they also have fewer talents and can be trained one-on-one. Therefore, using resources to forcefully attack is a bad move."

"Compared with resources, I hope to use Dao Palace students to attract them... Dragons do not live with snakes. As long as our Dao Palace students are strong enough, and then publicize and say that the geniuses gather to compete with each other, then we can attract them. Those talented people who are highly motivated will come over automatically.”

This statement did not convince the old man guarding the thunder pool.

Thinking of Mu Lin's lofty and noble character and the possibility of transforming into a dragon body, he said excitedly:

"Shan Chief, your method is indeed very reasonable for ordinary geniuses. And even if ordinary geniuses don't come, it will have no impact on our Dao Palace, but Mu Lin is different!"

"Why is it different? Could it be that he can still affect the status of our Dao Palace? Hahaha..."

The one who spoke was the deputy mountain chief Ji Guan next to him. He controlled the financial power of the Dao Palace and was somewhat unwilling to devote so many resources. Therefore, his tone was a bit unfriendly, and he even used the Dao Palace to tease him.

At the same time, in Ji Guan's view, after saying this, the elder guarding Leichi would have nothing to say, but something he did not expect happened:

"Yes, Mu Lin is an extremely talented person and a monster. In my opinion, his talent is no worse than Xue Ying's, or even stronger. Such a talented person can really shake the supreme status of our Dao Palace in the Southeast Region with just one person. ”

"..."

"..."

Such words made the mountain chief and deputy mountain chief stunned, but then, instead of agreeing with the old man's words, they became suspicious.

"Elder Huo, that Mu Lin can't be your nephew."

"you!"

These words made Manager Huo furious. Looking at the mountain chief and deputy mountain chief, his eyes were a little red.

After a while, he waved his sleeves angrily and said, "Okay, since you think Mu Lin is irrelevant, I don't care, as long as you don't regret it then!"

Seeing Elder Huo slamming the door and leaving, and thinking of his angry look, the headmaster of Yuhu Taoist Academy became a little suspicious.

"Is Mu Lin really a genius?"

Just as he was thinking this, Ji Guan next to him shook his head: "Shan Chief, our Yuhu Taoist Temple is supported by the Yuqing Sect. It is completely impossible to shake the position of our Yuhu Taoist Temple with one person's power. It’s just a joke.”

"As for Elder Huo, I think he was so excited because he discovered that Mu Lin's talent matched Lei Chi's and that he could become his disciple. That's why he was so excited about enrolling Mu Lin in Yuhu Taoist Academy."

"It's just that the Lei Pond only trains the body, and the experience there does not represent all the strength and talent."

These words convinced the mountain chief.

"You are right, the status of our Yuhu Dao Palace cannot be shaken by just one or two people."

"Moreover, even if his talent is really outstanding, we can recruit him later. There is no rush now."
