"Lin Shuguang?"
"How was that possible? How could he be so strong?"
Wei Xinlong's heart shook violently as he stared at Lin Shuguang's back in disbelief.
"Young Master Wei, are you all right?" The other scions of prominent families approached to fawn over him. Knowing they had no chance of securing a good ranking, they hoped to win some favor by showing concern.
Unfortunately, Wei Xinlong merely snorted coldly, showing no intention of acknowledging them, and charged out again.
His cold eyes locked onto Lin Shuguang's back as he swiftly gave chase.
He was determined to claim a place in the top three!
"Wei Xinlong, how about we join forces?" A clear, cool female voice rang out beside him.
The two sprinted shoulder to shoulder.
Wei Xinlong glanced over and saw that it was Xu Wen of the Demon Capital's Xu Family. His expression softened, but his reply remained stiff. "No need!"
Xu Wen glanced at the three figures ahead and told Wei Xinlong in a low voice, "First place is definitely Gu Yingxiong's, but we can fight for second and third! Fighting may be forbidden during the assessment, but if we charge together, Meng Shenzhou definitely won't be able to withstand us. And that fellow from your Huai City will certainly be driven back too! Don't you want to get into the top three?"
Wei Xinlong stared darkly at Lin Shuguang's back and replied coldly, "Fine!"
Xu Wen smiled, blood energy surging through her.
Responding to Wei Xinlong from a distance, she joined him in breaking through the crowd. Their rolling waves of force were so tremendous that the weaker participants were sent flying on the spot.
Chu Xiongtian deftly hid among the crowd. Rather than resisting Wei Xinlong and Xu Wen's joint charge, he shrewdly trailed behind them.
