Judge Academy was very strong, but their strength was not only because of some SS-rank talent holders like Lilith. Their strength lay in their overall power, and their advantages were quite absolute. That was why in recent years, the other academies felt deeply helpless when facing Judge Academy.

Judge Academy might not be as strong this time around, but in the end, the last tournament was practically single-handedly won by Lilith. This year, Judge Academy did not have an SS-rank talent holder, but comparatively, their overall strength had increased.

Before coming, Yu Mei sternly warned them. In terms of overall strength, Judge Academy this year could be said to be the strongest in history!

After watching Liliths vicious performances, the monitors could not help but feel relieved despite their shock. All of them felt fortunate that they came a year later, so they did not have to meet someone crazy like that.

Yet, Yu Mei told them that Judge Academy this year was even stronger than Liliths year!

The warning had even caused some of the more pessimistic students to lose hope, but Yu Mei still had to remind them beforehand. It was still better than them being affected during the tournament itself.

No matter if it was the president or Yu Mei, they did not voice the other meaning to the words, but everyone could more or less feel it, which was that they had no hope of winning this match. It was fine, no matter what the results ended up being. They could at least gain some experience in battle; that was the most important. After all, they were usually only exposed to the level of monthly examinations, and truly strong opponents were actually very rare.

With that reasoning, Xiao Lin believed that Gu Xiaoyue would actually be able to understand his reasoning. Using any standard measures left them with very low chances of winning. Even if Xiao Lin himself did not want to accept it, he wanted to believe in Yu Meis judgement. Without using Myth, it would be hard for him to hold off so many of them alone.

Martins medicinal study talent is really shocking. I actually dont have absolute confidence that I can beat him, but among the thirteen of us, only I can somewhat compete with him. Gu Xiaoyue, I know youre anxious, but our opponents arent someone you can defeat with anxiety, Xiao Lin said patiently.

Im sorry. Gu Xiaoyue only lost control whenever her sister was concerned, but she quickly returned to that cold and calm woman. She adjusted some of the errant hair on her forehead before nodding and apologizing.

Xiao Lin took in a deep breath, unable to say what he wanted to. He could absolutely understand Gu Xiaoyue; the woman only had less than two years left, and she had yet to find any effective solutions to this date. Gu Xiaoyue had only been concerned about her own sister the whole time, and he had no way of persuading her to do anything. Just like he said earlier, Xiao Lin wanted to help that cheerful and active girl as well.

How about this? I promise you that I will definitely help you obtain the Eternal Fruit from this tournament, so before that, leave everything to me! Xiao Lin said gently.

Gu Xiaoyue fell silent and looked away subtly, but she could not hide her reddened eyes. Even though Xiao Lins confidence did not seem to be grounded in anything, Gu Xiaoyue chose to give him the benefit of the doubt and place her faith in him.

The next morning, everyone got out of their beds and gathered in the public lounge outside the dormitories. Even though that day should usually be used to adjust and adapt themselves to the new environment instead of doing anything forceful, everyone was full of vigor for the upcoming match. They planned on undergoing last minute training.

When everyone gathered, Xiao Lin said as the leader, Cheng Ming will be in charge of the training today. The training hall has been provided by Judge Academy. Everyone should focus on recovery training, so dont do anything heavy. The tournament officially starts tomorrow. Injuries can be treated quickly, but stamina cant be replenished.

Youre not going? Class Eights Sheng Guo asked strangely.

Cheng Ming and Chen Dao were not surprised since Xiao Lin had notified them last night, but the others were still confused, and Han Manman could not help but snidely say, Are you giving up?

Xiao Lin did not want to argue and he smiled as he said, Im not going precisely because I dont want to give up. Oh, I forgot to tell all of you, Im planning on staying in the dormitory to revise my medicinal studies knowledge. Based on the arrangements, this time, my opponent is the youngest medicinal studies genius, Martin.

Oh, Im taking the medicinal studies course as well, but I remember that you havent been attending it since the first class, someone suddenly thought of something and mumbled out.

Thats right, so I need to properly revise it today, Xiao Lin said seriously.

Everyones mouths twitched.

No matter what, Xiao Lin had absolute authority as the leader. The others were dismissed while feeling like they were assured to lose. After that, Xiao Lin found that beautiful golden-haired woman again. He asked for a large pile of medicinal study books, actually planning on hiding in his room and studying earnestly.

The woman in charge looked at Xiao Lin with a strange expression. She understood Mandarin, so she understood everything Xiao Lin and the others had said before. The woman brought all the books to Xiao Lins room, but she could not resist saying, The tournament prohibits any tools or substances that could affect the fairness of the matches.

Huh? What do you mean? Xiao Lins was about to shut the door.

The golden-haired woman probably felt like Xiao Lin was deliberately acting dumb and stared at him before explaning, You might not have looked at the rules clearly since its your first tournament. Based on the rules, any special medicines or tools are prohibited from being used during the course of the tournament. I know some medicines can increase your memory temporarily, but regretfully, these are all not allowed to be used.

Xiao Lin paused for a moment, finally understanding what that woman was saying. He did not know how to react, but he was too lazy to explain as well, Alright. Thanks for your reminder. Good bye.

Bam!

The door was shut.
