Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Bare Provocation

A while later, Bai Paoyi appeared.

After his appearance, he steadily walked towards the Generals’ Platform and stepped onto it. His eyes slowly swept over the baby soldiers, and although his face remained expressionless, he secretly nodded in his heart, thinking, "Not bad, not all these baby soldiers are merely cannon fodder!"

Everyone was watching Bai Paoyi, standing erect.

In that moment, all present seemed to possess a bit of a military aura.

"Next, I have an announcement!" At this moment, Bai Paoyi spoke in a deep voice.

His voice wasn’t very loud, but because it contained a hint of subtle energy, everyone clearly heard him.

Upon hearing Bai Paoyi’s words, everyone widened their eyes in anticipation.

At the same time, they were all very curious about what Bai Paoyi was going to announce next.

Bai Paoyi’s eyes slowly swept over everyone again, and he said in a deep voice: "I plan to select an Ace Team from among our squads!"

"Ace Team?"

Everyone was startled!

At the same time, they all wondered, what benefits would being chosen as the Ace Team bring?

Seemingly aware of everyone’s thoughts, Bai Paoyi continued, "Once you become the Ace Team, you will be allowed to cultivate in the Royal Academy’s Dragon Washing Pool once!"

"What?"

Most people were taken aback by Bai Paoyi’s words.

The Dragon Washing Pool of the Royal Academy was a treasure. Beneath it lay a Dragon Eye, and by using the pool, one could continuously absorb Dragon Qi and slowly refine it.

Even outstanding disciples of the Royal Academy might not get a chance to use the Dragon Washing Pool.

But...

To be allowed into the Dragon Washing Pool as the Ace Team?

Many were now filled with anticipation.

Of course, they knew that becoming the Ace Team was extremely difficult.

Even Lin Fan was surprised at this moment.

He had gathered information about the Royal Academy during these days and naturally recognized the extraordinariness of the Dragon Washing Pool.

"If I could enter the Dragon Washing Pool, perhaps, my cultivation could break through again and reach the Supreme Realm of Earth Profound," Lin Fan thought, equally filled with anticipation.

At this moment, Lin Fan had made up his mind, no matter how difficult it was to become the Ace Team, he must strive for it.

"Deputy General, come out!" While everyone was still in shock and filled with anticipation, Bai Paoyi suddenly called out.

Then, a Deputy General walked out.

Bai Paoyi loudly said: "Those who want to participate in the Ace Team assessment can register with Deputy General Li!"

Deputy General Li loudly announced, "I’ll give everyone two hours to register. Those who are interested in joining the Ace Team, come here to register!"

After saying that, Deputy General Li walked aside.

Many people followed Deputy General Li to register shortly after.

After all, the temptation of the Dragon Washing Pool was too great. Many people, even knowing there wasn’t much hope, decided to give it their all.

Lin Fan and others remained standing quietly.

Scar Face asked Lin Fan, "Captain, what should we do? Should we..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, just looking at Lin Fan, believing Lin Fan understood what he meant.

Lin Fan softly said, "Let’s register in a while!"

Scar Face replied, "But... Captain, to become the Ace Team is too difficult. Even if we register, the chances of success are very small; we could say, almost none!"

The other team members also nodded.

These noble children, though immensely proud, were not arrogant enough to believe they could compete for the Ace Team, quite frankly lacking the confidence.

"Heh heh!"

Lin Fan just chuckled casually, saying, "It’s no problem, how will we know what we’re capable of without trying? Besides, I’m here too, right? If we succeed, we could cultivate in the Dragon Washing Pool once; don’t you all want this opportunity as well?"

Once they thought of the Dragon Washing Pool, everyone became excited and anticipate.

At the same time, firm expressions appeared on everyone’s faces, even those who had been extremely hesitant before, had now decided in their hearts to fight desperately.

"Hey hey!"

At this moment, a strange voice rang out, filled with a disdainful sneer, "This useless dandy squadron of yours, do you also plan to register for the Ace Team selection?"

As the speaker spoke, a squad of twenty-one people walked towards them. The captain was a tall, skinny youth with a very gloomy expression, especially his nose, which resembled that of an Eagle nose, making him quite uncomfortable to look at.

Others referred to this squad’s captain as "Eagle Nose."

"Hmph!"

Scar Face’s expression turned extremely cold when he saw Eagle Nose, and he asked coldly, "Eagle Nose, what are you here for?"

"Ha ha!"

Eagle Nose burst into laughter and said, "I came to watch your joke, haha. I say Scar Face, you really have become more and more useless, haven’t you? Didn’t you boast before that no one could be your captain? What now? Can’t you even defeat such a young kid? In the end, you let a young kid become your captain? I must say, Scar Face, you are truly incompetent!"

Eagle Nose’s tone was not polite at all.

At the same time, as he spoke, his eyes directly looked over at Lin Fan, with undisguised contempt, treating Lin Fan as if he were trash.

Lin Fan stood there quietly all along, as if he hadn’t seen the other’s insult.

But seeing Lin Fan like this, Eagle Nose thought he was scared, and immediately burst into laughter again.

As for the people brought by Eagle Nose, seeing him laughing, they also started laughing.

Scar Face was immediately enraged to the extreme. He was eager to rush over and fight Eagle Nose, but he knew the strength of Eagle Nose was formidable and he was no match, so he dared not go over.

At the same time, Scar Face looked over at Lin Fan, hoping that Lin Fan would take action. Scar Face believed that Lin Fan could take down Eagle Nose in just a few minutes.

However...

What made Scar Face extremely helpless was that Lin Fan still stood there quietly without any intention of making a move.

A sense of disappointment rose in Scar Face’s heart.

"Ha ha!"

A while later, after another burst of laughter, Eagle Nose said to Scar Face, "Scar Face, your captain seems like a total coward. I’ve provoked him so much, yet he still doesn’t dare to step forward? Truly pathetic!"

"Bastard!"

Scar Face shouted loudly, "Eagle Nose, you just wait, I will make your life miserable!"

Eagle Nose sneered and said, "You don’t need to wait, you can find trouble with me today."

Scar Face wanted to say something more, but before he could speak, Lin Fan’s calm voice sounded, "Scar Face, you go. There’s an annoying dog of Eagle Nose here. You handle him first!"

"What?"

After hearing Lin Fan’s words, Eagle Nose was instantly enraged to the extreme, as if he was about to explode, but he held it back, thinking to himself, "I’ll teach this kid a lesson later!"

As for Scar Face, after hearing Lin Fan’s words, he hesitated for a moment, knowing he was no match for Eagle Nose and did not dare to step forward, but since it was Lin Fan’s command, he had no choice but to step forward and say, "Eagle Nose, come on, let’s fight three hundred rounds!"

"Fine, I’ll teach you a lesson first, then your pathetic captain, heh heh!"

Eagle Nose also charged forward.

Just as Eagle Nose and Scar Face were about to fight...

At this moment, a cold voice rang out, "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that it was Vice General Li approaching.

"You two squads, do you think brawling here looks glorious? If you’re really capable, sign up for the Ace Team, if you can make it into the Ace Team, then I’ll consider you formidable!" Vice General Li said coldly.

Eagle Nose quickly said, "Deputy General, our squad is indeed planning to sign up for the selection of the Ace Team!"

"Good!"

Vice General Li quickly recorded the information of Eagle Nose’s squad.

Eagle Nose then looked over at Lin Fan with a provocative gaze, sneered, and said, "Your squad, do you dare to sign up for the Ace Team selection? After all, you are all just pampered nobodies, each of you weak beyond measure, not daring to challenge, ha ha!"

"A bunch of cowards!"

Eagle Nose added.

After hearing Eagle Nose’s words, Scar Face and the others were extremely angry but, with Vice General Li right there, they dared not act out.

However, Lin Fan, this guy, remained very calm, stepping forward to speak to Vice General Li, "Vice General Li, please register our squad!"

"Good!"

Vice General Li quickly completed the registration.

At this point, the registration was complete, so Vice General Li quickly departed. The evaluation for the Ace Team would be in three days.

"Ha ha!"

At this time, Eagle Nose burst into laughter again, arrogantly saying, "You guys, wait and see how you’ll lose face, ha ha!"

"Let’s go!"

After saying this, Eagle Nose led his squad and prepared to leave.
