Xiao Lin's expression was shocked. Looking at the striking number of 20, he fell into silence for a long time.

He believed that this data could not be fake, not to mention that he could tell the authenticity of such things by just a little checking, so there was absolutely no need for these people to deceive themselves in this matter.

I only have 20 years of life left!

He remembered very clearly that his life span was still 100 years before the exam. Although he died once in the last semester, he immediately purchased the primary life potion to replenish his life span.

After eliminating all the impossible answers, then the remaining speculations, no matter how incredible, must be the truth!

Xiao Lin actually vaguely thought that in the final decisive battle with the Sea Emperor Poseidon, when he was desperate and helpless, the mysterious existence from ancient times hidden deep in his heart helped him, allowing Xiao Lin to open up the mythical state through the combination of destruction and the double S-level talent, and to raise the strength of his whole body to a level comparable to the gold level.

However, this power needs a price. Although the voice did not explain clearly what the price was, and at that moment of indifference, Xiao Lin was not allowed to think and hesitate more. According to his initial thoughts and the sequelae of destruction, Xiao Lin felt that at best it would be overdrawn and power loss after use for a period of time.

However, he finally realized now that the price of the use of myth was actually his remaining life span, and it was a full 60 years!

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly and sighed. If you had to think about it carefully from the perspective of equal value, the price would be completely acceptable. After all, as a person of only a bronze level, he defeated the super wave ss in the earth's mythology. Such an amazing result would be enough.

Wang Shengming watched Xiao Lin's expression change constantly, and did not disturb him, but just waited quietly.

A few minutes later, Xiao Lin, who had almost figured out his clues, got up from the bed. His numb legs had almost recovered when he woke up. He looked at Wang Shengming and said, "Thank you for your treatment. I can't explain to you the reason for the reduction in lifespan. It's not that I don't believe you or deliberately deceive you. It's really about this matter. You don't have any authority to know. I think no one except the principal has the right to know."

Xiao Lin's tone was calm, but he seemed very firm.

It is difficult for him to explain myths or destruction to others, because it will definitely involve the dual S-level talent. The principal repeatedly warned him a long time ago that the fewer people know this secret, the better.

As everyone, not only Earthlings but Norma people envied the double S-level talents, but the people they possess were not the luckiest. This talent that was not one in billions brought a heavy burden. Thinking about the Ivan who died tragically at the hands of his own people in history, Xiao Lin could understand the principal's good intentions.

Xiao Lin is also confident. If he had been a freshman for 80 years, he would probably collapse. Even if he had been a junior life potion, the price of each bottle would be at least 1,000 redemption points, and a total of 8,000 redemption points. This price would cause the vast majority of freshmen to collapse.

But what Xiao Lin lacks the most is money. Although the latest life potion has not yet been released, he can only buy a few bottles at a high price after returning.

Xiao Lin's abacus was very good, but Wang Shengming seemed to know what he was thinking, shook his head and said, "We have injected you with the primary life potion during this period. Unfortunately, your life span has not been replenished."

Xiao Lin was as stupid as a wooden chicken.

"I know it's hard to accept, but we have tried various methods, including even using intermediate and advanced life potions. Unfortunately, although we did observe that the efficacy has been absorbed by you, we did not restore our life as expected."

"That's why I came here to ask you what kind of forbidden art you are using. According to my speculation, only those forbidden artifacts that cause permanent damage to the soul will invalidate the life potion. I think you should have learned relevant knowledge, and the life potion and the resurrection tower are only targeted at the non-soul level. If it involves the soul level, there is nothing we can do."

Of course, Xiao Lin could understand that the principal is still lying in that special ward because the toxicity in him is deeply rooted in the soul level and no life water can be saved. But who would have thought that it hasn't been long since then, and Xiao Lin would also face similar problems.

The cost of the mythical state is so great!

Xiao Lin suddenly thought of the sentence he saw in a book in the library's restricted area last time: Power is sacrifice, and only the power obtained by making enough sacrifice is the most powerful.

But this result is so big that it is unacceptable, which means that Xiao Lin may not have the chance to open the myth for the second time!

Wang Shengming finally got no answer from Xiao Lin. He left with disappointment and once again warned Xiao Lin not to leave here casually. In name, it was convenient to take care of himself at any time, but in fact it was already the meaning of surveillance. After all, the crime of using forbidden art is quite large in Shuguang Academy. Even if a minister-level person is found to be used, he will be taken away, let alone a mere squad leader.

Xiao Lin judged from the scenery outside the window that he should be in Shuguang Academy, and the location was probably the southernmost research institute, where ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Usually, even doctors and professors need to be authorized to enter. Now that he is locked up here, it is obvious that his personal freedom is restricted.

However, later that day, when Xiao Lin's door was pushed open again, after seeing the person coming, Xiao Lin's face was gloomy all day long before he calmed down slightly.

The people who came were the president and the 6th Army leader Yu Mei, both of Xiao Lin’s old acquaintances. Of course, they were all considered the principal’s confidants, so they naturally stood on Xiao Lin’s side unconditionally. When they appeared in front of them, Xiao Lin’s heart settled a little. He jumped up from the bed, moved his hands and feet, and smiled straightforwardly: “I knew you wouldn’t ignore me, so let’s go.”

Yu Mei laughed out loud, and the president couldn't help but thrust his gentle baby's face, and said helplessly: "You are really leisurely enough. I came here immediately as soon as I got the news. We have also inquired about Wang Shengming's specific situation. Haha, that guy is very resentful to you."

Yu Mei looked like she was not afraid of something big and laughed and said, "I heard that you used your lack of authority to push him back. Well, I've long been upset by those old-fashioned guys..."

The president immediately coughed twice to stop Yu Mei. The trend could not rise. He said meaningfully: "Professor Wang Shengming is also considering you. As for the reasons and methods you use forbidden techniques, I will not ask, but you should be low-key to the outside world. After all, some things are just something we know, and it is okay to conceal it for you in private, but if it is made public, it will only cause a handle."

"Is the situation in the New World not good?" Xiao Lin seemed to hear something implied. Now the acting new principal has just taken power. However, the old principal has been in power for so many years, and his confidants have naturally spread across almost every department. Of course, the acting principal is not a fuel-efficient lamp and will not let himself be underestimated. Xiao Lin can completely imagine the intrigue and various struggles in it.

The president did not continue on this topic because for Xiao Lin, there were more things to worry about. He said seriously: "This time I came to see you with Yu Mei, mainly to ask you for something. Do you still want to continue participating in the Academy Championship?"

"Academic Championship?" Xiao Lin was stunned. He remembered that the Championship should have been held at the end of this semester, and he remembered that he had been selected for the participation list. Did something happen again?

Yu Mei also curled her joking face a little and said, "We may not have made it clear to you before, and it was also unnecessary at that time. Every battle held in the Academy Championships was real swords and guns. Although everyone can choose to abstain at any time in the battle, in fact, those who dare to sign up will not care about life and death. After all, under the influence of the Resurrection Tower Law, they only lost some life value. Compared with the reward for winning the final victory, the cost of that little life water is simply not worth mentioning."

"I can tell you a data. In all the academy competitions held so far, the mortality rate is about 70%. There is another thing, because considering that the current situation in the new world is a bit complicated, after consultations between all parties and approval by the highest jury, the tournament should be ahead of schedule."

After a pause, the president added in an emphatic tone: "And I want to remind you that the final game will definitely be held in the New World. After all, the contestants have reached the level of at least the black iron level."

Only then did Xiao Lin understand their intention. Although death in the academy only lost 10 years of life, because they will be affected by all laws in the New World, death in the New World will lose 20 years of life, but now he only has the last 20 years left. If he dies, he will lose everything.

The president sighed: "What Captain Yu and I mean is that you should give up this competition. The Eternal Fruit is indeed a good reward, but compared to life, it is not worth mentioning."

Xiao Lin became silent. He didn't expect that it would be just a monthly exam, but it caused so much trouble, which even affected the next academy competition.

His biggest problem now is that his lifespan cannot be supplemented. Of course, Xiao Lin does not want to die, but he also has many reasons to participate in this championship.

After a long time, Xiao Lin suddenly raised his head and asked suddenly, "Where is Gu Xiaoyue?"

"Ha?" The president was stunned.

"Will Gu Xiaoyue participate in this competition?"

"Yes." The president frowned and understood what Xiao Lin meant.

"Oh, then I'll participate too." Xiao Lin's answer was also very plain, as if he had just decided to have a meal.

The room fell silent again. The president and Yu Mei were not surprised by the answer. The two looked at each other, as if they had guessed it long ago. After a while, Yu Mei covered her forehead and smiled bitterly: "Actually, before looking for you, we also looked for Gu Xiaoyue two days ago, hoping that he could give up this championship."

The president said: "Gu Xiaoyue's talent in spells is unimaginable. Although she is not the only one who has such talent in our entire colonial world, she is the only one who is willing to further his education in auxiliary spells. Let's put it this way, banning her from participating in the competition is an order issued directly from the acting principal."

"The acting principal also intervened?" Xiao Lin was very surprised.

Yu Mei couldn't help laughing and crying: "This kind of competition that is related to the highest honor of the college is originally a matter of the principal's responsibility, so he also interferes with it."

"Gu Xiaoyue definitely didn't agree." Xiao Lin asked again.

The president nodded, a little helpless: "When I handed the order to her, she said oh, and then tore the order to her."

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Lin laughed again. He could imagine Gu Xiaoyue's cold expression, probably saying that I received the order, but she did not intend to abide by it. The determination made by that stubborn woman could not be easily changed by anyone. He was a little looking forward to seeing the expression of the acting principal at this moment.

"It seems that even if we want you to dissuade Gu Xiaoyue, you won't agree?" The president of course also knew that Xiao Lin was the only person who was closer to Gu Xiaoyue.

"It's not that I won't agree, but that she will definitely not agree, even me." Xiao Lin couldn't explain that Gu Xiaoyue's sister was terminally ill, because of Gu Chengyun's suspicious bloodline and identity, he still sensitively didn't want too many people to know about some things.

"She will attend, so you will attend, too."

"That's right."

"Even if you don't have the chance to be resurrected."

"That's right."

Yu Mei spread her hands to the president: "I just said this kid would definitely not agree."

Seeing the president's headache, Xiao Lin felt a little relieved. No matter what, at least these people were really caring about themselves. He said carefully: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although I can't reveal anything, this exam made me understand more. I believe that even if I can't win this championship, at least self-protection and protection of Gu Xiaoyue is not a problem. I will not joke about my life, let alone Gu Xiaoyue's life."
