The first time was a long time ago, but the students were busy.

Early in the morning, after lunch, many freshmen gathered in the central square.

Soon, several deans and tutors walked up to the platform and began to summarize the freshman assessment. Then, Qingmu Dean Mu Lin introduced the situation of Wenjian College, and the other deans also made speeches in turn.

It was over after about an hour, and then the rewards for this qualifying competition were distributed.

"First, the top ten of this competition, please invite the seventh to tenth place, Wang Zijian, Dugu Ming, Nie Tian... to the stage to receive the rewards." A tutor announced loudly on the stage.

Soon, several teenagers walked out of the crowd, and in the envious eyes of everyone, they walked up to the platform, and the rewards were distributed by several deans in person.

Looking at the envious expressions on the faces of many freshmen below the stage, these young men couldn't help but straighten their chests, showing a bit of pride and joy on their faces.

This is really an honor, an honor earned by their own strength!

"Please welcome the fourth to sixth place..."

Soon, the rewards for the fourth to sixth place were distributed.

"Next, it's the top three of our qualifying round. The third place is Xiao Chuan, the second place is Lan Yan'er, and the first place is Lin——"

"Wait!"

At this moment, a cold shout suddenly interrupted.

Suddenly, the whole audience was silent.

Everyone looked at the person who was speaking. The man stood on the high platform, with a strong body, a sharp gaze, and a cold face.

Dugu Hong!

Several deans and tutors looked at Dugu Hong in confusion, not understanding what he was going to do.

The freshmen below the stage also looked at each other and whispered, not knowing why Dugu Hong suddenly interrupted the award ceremony.

"Dugu Hong, what do you mean?" Xu Yan looked at Dugu Hong and frowned.

At this time, Lin Xiao in the crowd suddenly frowned, and he felt a bad premonition.

As expected, Dugu Hong glanced at the crowd and said coldly, "I have objections to the ranking of this qualifying competition!"

Upon hearing this, the other deans and tutors all frowned, and the freshmen below were also puzzled and whispered.

"Silence, silence!" Dean Di Ling raised his hands, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Dean Dugu, since you have an opinion on the qualifying competition, you might as well say it directly, but you have to give a reasonable reason, otherwise, you will be punished according to the regulations for interrupting the award ceremony without reason, even if you are the dean of the external college." Dean Di Ling said.

Dugu Hong's face was calm, and he said calmly, "Of course."

Then he added, "I generally agree with the ranking of this qualifying competition, but I think there is a problem with the ranking of one person."

"May I ask who Dean Dugu is talking about?"

"It's the first place in this qualifying competition, Lin Xiao." Dugu Hong's voice resounded throughout the square, and everyone heard it clearly.

As soon as this remark came out, there was a commotion in the audience, and many freshmen whispered.

The several deans on the high platform also looked at each other with confusion.

At this time, Lin Xiao also frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Dugu Hong on the stage. As expected, this old man was targeting him.

"Everyone knows that the highest score record in the history of our Sword-asking Academy's ranking competition is only about 2,000 points, but Lin Xiao has surpassed this record by more than 900 points. Don't you think there is a problem?"

On the side, Xu Yan smiled coldly, "Dean Dugu, high scores can only mean that the students are strong and use tactics properly. I don't think there is any problem, and I believe everyone thinks so too."

"That may not be the case," Dugu Hong suddenly changed the subject, "In this ranking competition, a total of ten people from my Dugu family died in the Forest of Demonic Qi, including the main line genius Dugu Ba, and Lin Xiao's score is so high that it can be concluded that he must have killed the children of my Dugu family and taken away their banners, so he can get such a high score."

"In order to get points, he harmed his fellow disciples. I want to ask everyone here, is this kind of person worthy of being the first?" Dugu Hong said coldly.

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the audience and discussions.

"Is that so? No wonder Lin Xiao got such a high score. It turns out that he killed the people of the Dugu family and stole their banner."

"I didn't expect Lin Xiao to be this kind of person. He would even do such a thing as harming his fellow disciples. Dean Dugu is right. He doesn't deserve to be the first. He should be kicked out of the academy directly."

"I don't think so. There is no evidence for his words.

This kind of thing requires evidence. Anyway, I don't believe it. The people of the Dugu family are all tough guys. Every one of them is ranked in the top 100 in terms of strength. How could Lin Xiao kill so many people in the Dugu family by himself? "

"Who can tell the truth about this kind of thing? It's all based on strength. In order to get more points, everyone has their own ulterior motives. Among the top 100 people, who got the points completely by themselves?"

Many freshmen talked about it, and each had his own opinion. Some thought that Lin Xiao should be disqualified, while others thought that Lin Xiao was right.
