Chapter 158: Public Opinion Attack?

“Who do you think he’ll choose in this situation?” Yao Shi’er smiled confidently.

“I can’t believe it! Old woman, you have no sense of fair play!” Hearing Yao Shi’er’s words, Yan Zhantian instantly exploded. His face was full of indignation, and he was just short of attacking Yao Shi’er.

Yao Shi’er’s expression turned cold, and her gentle gaze instantly became murderous. “What did you call me?”

“Cough… I was wrong.” Seeing Yao Shier’s sudden change in demeanor, Yan Zhantian trembled and lowered his head like a quail.

Although the battle prowess of the Archmage and the Fire God were similar on the surface, in reality, Yan Zhantian’s strength was far inferior to Yao Shi’er’s.

However, Yao Shi’er had a relatively mild temper. Except for when dealing with monsters, she had never displayed her strength in front of others.

Watching Yan Zhantian’s reaction, Yao Shier snorted coldly. “Hmph, 1 don’t have time to argue with you. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

“Well, it’s a pity that such a good disciple can only belong to you.” Yan Zhantian said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Yao Shi’er glanced at Yan Zhantian and said, “The final decision still rests in Mo Xiao’s hands.”

“He’s a solo cultivator, and if we’re talking about suitability, you’re more suitable to be his master than I am.” Yan Zhantian said with a hint of melancholy. “Sigh, I don’t even have a disciple, and now you want to compete with me. Sigh…”

“Then pray that Mo Xiao can successfully pass the 30th level. Maybe he has extraordinary talent and can really make it?” Yao Shier said and then fell silent, leaving Yan Zhantian muttering to himself.

At this moment, in Examination Room 1.

[Congratulations on defeating the Level 60 boss, Dark Night Wolf King! You’ve gained 200,000 experience points!]

[Congratulations on obtaining Dark Night Wolf Fang X2]

[Congratulations on obtaining Dark Night Wolf Claw x4]

Looking at the system information in front of him, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow. “Just this little for a Level 60 boss? It’s worse than the monsters outside…”

“Hey, is there any staff here? I’ve already killed the boss. Can I leave now?”

“Sorry, there seems to be a problem with the system. Please wait, we’ll fix it soon!”

Hearing Mo Xiao’s words, the staff members panicked.

In their original plan, Mo Xiao was supposed to die in this assessment.

After all, in their eyes, these candidates, no matter how high their levels were, were only Level 20, and even a Level 35 elite monster could easily torment them.

They couldn’t have anticipated that Mo Xiao would be able to kill a Level 60 boss in one shot!

“City Lord! What should we do?” At this moment, a helper next to Chu Feng looked at the information in front of him and said anxiously, “Mo Xiao is still locked inside the exam room. What should we do? Should we release more monsters, or should we let him out?”

Hearing the helper’s words, Chu Feng’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. “With two War Gods watching here, how can we keep him locked inside? Let him out.”

“Then what should we do? Let him get first place?” the assistant asked with a frown.

“…” Chu Feng fell silent for a moment and then said, “Let’s release the news that we made a mistake and that the monster Mo Xiao faced was just a Level 1 mutant.”

“A Level 1 monster? But they couldn’t detect the level of that boss, and no one would believe this, right?” the assistant said worriedly.

Listening to this, Chu Feng fell into silence again. “Just say that the monster has a talent skill that can shield everyone’s detection abilities.”

“What… What’s the point of that?” the assistant asked in confusion.

“It may not be of great use, but the power of public opinion is terrifying.” Chu Feng sneered. “In the end, it depends on the situation in the Heaven-reaching Tower. The results of the first two assessments don’t matter. As long as we can manipulate public opinion and affect his mentality, it’s enough.”

Twenty minutes later.

A light flashed outside the examination hall, and Mo Xiao instantly appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as Mo Xiao was transported out, he noticed that everyone’s gaze was suddenly focused on him.

However, their looks were not the astonishment and disbelief he had expected, but rather full of disdain and contempt.

Mo Xiao slowly raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on here?”

“Tsk! It’s just a system bug, and you encountered a Level 1 trash mob! What’s there to be proud of!”

“That’s right, that’s right! The City Lord shouldn’t have let Mo Xiao clear the exam! He should have made him redo it!”

“No! This kind of person who exploits loopholes has no right to continue the assessment!”

Listening to the criticism from the people around him, Mo Xiao was completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

“Are you talking about me?” Mo Xiao looked at the group of people beside him, furrowing his brow slightly, and had some suspicions in his heart.

“Of course! Mo Xiao, right? I advise you to give up this assessment directly! Otherwise, we won’t be polite to you!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Either withdraw or accept our punishment!”

Mo Xiao looked at the group of retarded examinees in front of him and sighed helplessly.

“Junior Brother, how is it? Do you need my help?” Just then, Su Jin’er appeared behind Mo Xiao at some point in time.

“I don’t need help. I just want to know what happened.” Mo Xiao smiled. “It’s too noisy here. Let’s find a quiet place.”

As soon as Mo Xiao finished speaking, he instantly disappeared.

In an instant, he appeared in midair. “Let’s go first.”

“Blink? When did you get such a skill?” Su Jin’er was stunned for a moment when she saw this. Then, she disappeared with Mo Xiao and teleported to his side. “What do you mean? Where are we going?”

“What Yan Zhantian said last time was actually quite right. The sky is a good place.” As Mo Xiao spoke, a gust of wind rose from under his feet and brought him into the air.

“So, Chu Feng and the others released the news and told everyone that I was fighting a level 1 monster?” Mo Xiao asked with a strange expression.

“Yes, they’re more jealous than rational now. They’ve never thought about it at all. Even if it’s a level 1 monster, it’s impossible to deal such damage without powerful attributes.” Su Jin’er shrugged and felt a little helpless.

“So, Senior Sister, what do you think Chu Feng is trying to do?” Mo Xiao asked.

Su Jin’er shook her head and said, “I don’t know. His retarded operation won’t affect anything. Perhaps it’s to let everyone scold you.

“Unfortunately, he doesn’t know that my junior brother’s skin is as thick as a city wall.. This little verbal impact can’t affect you at all-“
