The girl’s light and agile voice brought a deathly silence to the tent. Everyone’s gazes were fixed on the green-clad girl standing next to Xiao Yan, who was smiling calmly. They had not yet recovered from the shock that Xiao Yan had brought them, only to be hit by an even heavier blow to their heads. A six-star Fighter… at sixteen years old… This potential value seemed to have surpassed the S-class boundary. This talent was simply more formidable than that of the demonic woman in the academy!
Looking around the silent tent, Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Xuner’s reported data also surprised him. He had originally predicted that Xuner should be around the five-star level, but he never expected that this girl would be so terrifying. Her potential value had actually surpassed the S-class boundary. This monstrous cultivation speed made even him feel astonished.
In the tent, upon hearing Xuner’s words, Xiao Yu was equally dumbfounded. In the clan, she had never seen Xuner display her strength, so she was unaware of her true power. Moreover, no one had ever told her about Xuner’s mysterious identity. In her eyes, Xuner was just a young member of the Xiao family with excellent talent, but she never imagined that this excellence reached such an extent…
“… This time, that demonic woman in the academy has finally met her match.” Smiling bitterly and shaking her head, Xiao Yu muttered suddenly.
In a corner of the tent, Luo Bu and Ge Lian stared at the green-clad girl with shock and fear. Recalling their previous provocation, they felt a cold sweat break out. They were secretly grateful that they hadn’t truly offended this beautiful girl.
However, they did not know that in provoking Xiao Yan, their impression in Xuner’s heart had plummeted to the lowest point.
The silence in the tent lasted for a long time before everyone gradually regained their composure. Glancing at each other, they all felt a sense of unease.
“Tsk, I didn’t expect to meet a new student with a potential value surpassing the S-class. Haha, it seems my luck is really good.” The shock on Ruo Lin’s face slowly faded as she stared at Xuner with eyes full of amazement.
After a moment, she smiled sweetly, “This time, the most outstanding new student in Jia Nan Academy is probably Xuner.”
Hearing Ruo Lin’s evaluation, Xuner smiled but unexpectedly shook her head.
“Uh…” Surprised by Xuner’s actions, Ruo Lin blinked in confusion and hesitantly asked, “Could there be someone even more outstanding than you?”
“Yes, Ruo Lin teacher.” Xuner nodded crisply, her bright eyes curving into a crescent, making her look extremely cute. “Compared to him, Xuner is nothing.”
“Oh?” Ruo Lin’s eyebrows raised imperceptibly. Six-star Fighter at sixteen years old, and yet this person thinks it’s nothing? Ruo Lin shook her head. Although she was incredibly skeptical, she still asked with curiosity, “Who is he?”
Hearing Xuner’s words, Xiao Yan, who was standing beside her, felt a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, after Ruo Lin asked, Xuner turned her pretty face and gazed at Xiao Yan with sparkling, mischievous eyes.
The gaze of the people in the tent followed Xuner’s, eventually settling on Xiao Yan, who was helplessly spreading his hands.
Following Xuner’s gaze, Ruo Lin paused and then smiled, “Xuner, Xiao Yan’s talent is indeed extraordinary. With an A-class potential value, he can already rank in the top hundred of the new students in Jia Nan Academy. However… it seems that he is not as strong as you.”
“Heh, that’s right, Junior Sister Xuner. His talent is indeed good, but compared to you, it’s far inferior,” Luo Bu chimed in with a bright smile from the corner.
Not only Luo Bu, but everyone in the tent, except for a few, cast suspicious glances at Xiao Yan. After all, although A-class potential is also strong, Xuner’s almost S-class potential was absurdly powerful. There was still a gap that could not be easily crossed.
Glancing indifferently at Luo Bu, Xuner showed no interest in responding. Her cold demeanor made Luo Bu, who wanted to get closer, feel a bit awkward.
Seeing Xuner staring at Xiao Yan, Ruo Lin’s brow furrowed slightly. She then transferred her thoughtful gaze to Xiao Yan, who was looking helpless, and smiled softly, “Could it be that Xiao Yan is hiding something else?”
“Hey, Yuer, what are they up to? Could it be like the teacher said, that Xiao Yan is hiding something?” Seeing the scene in the tent, the girls beside Xiao Yu asked curiously.
Xiao Yu did not answer, her delicate brows furrowed, and her expression slightly changed. When Xuner mentioned this, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan had once experienced a three-year period of stagnation in his cultivation. During those three years, due to some strange factors, his strength not only failed to improve but kept declining.
Moreover, in the past year and a half, Xiao Yan seemed to have leaped from the third stage of Dou Qi to a four-star Fighter. If truly compared, this horrifying cultivation speed was even beyond Xuner’s.
Recalling these things, which had almost been forgotten due to Xiao Yan’s current strength, Xiao Yu took a deep breath. Only now did she realize how terrifying the young man who often infuriated her really was…
“It’s not really hidden; most of the people in Wu Tan City know about my situation.” Under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Yan remained silent for a while before shrugging indifferently and smiling.
“Can you tell the teacher? It’s beneficial for the academy to clearly understand each student’s potential value for future cultivation. This won’t harm you,” Ruo Lin said, putting down her ink pen and supporting her chin with a smile, gazing at the slender and handsome youth below. Her gentle voice made it hard for any man to refuse.
“Let me tell it, Brother Xiao Yan doesn’t like to talk about the past,” Xuner, understanding Xiao Yan’s hesitation, offered with a smile.
“Haha, that’s fine too,” Ruo Lin nodded, her gaze on Xuner revealing a hint of interest. From her experience, she could see some clues in Xuner’s protective attitude towards Xiao Yan. Xuner’s actions now were like showing off her proudest possession, something she carefully protected, allowing no one to tarnish it.
“This little guy really has quite a lot of good fortune,” Ruo Lin thought, lazily glancing at Xiao Yan and smiling inwardly.
At this point, Xiao Yan could only nod helplessly.
Seeing Xiao Yan’s nod, Xuner smiled sweetly and organized her memories, then began, “Brother Xiao Yan started cultivating at the age of four.”
Listening to the first sentence, Ruo Lin nodded. The initial stage of Dou Qi was the hardest to cultivate, and starting at the age of four was neither too early nor too late.
“At ten, he reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi.” Xuner’s next words made everyone in the tent shudder. The difficulty of cultivating the initial stage of Dou Qi was universally acknowledged. Generally, if one starts cultivating at the age of four, it would take around fifteen years to reach the ninth stage. Someone reaching the ninth stage at ten was quite shocking.
“At eleven, he advanced to a Fighter.”
Upon hearing this, the gazes of the crowd towards Xiao Yan became somewhat strange. An eleven-year-old Fighter… this was unmatched even in Jia Nan Academy.
Ruo Lin’s eyes grew brighter with Xuner’s words, and her beautiful eyes flashed with amazement.
“Uh… next…”
Reaching this point, Xuner pursed her lips and said softly, “From twelve to fifteen, Brother Xiao Yan dropped from a Fighter back to the third stage of Dou Qi.”
“Uh…” The whispers in the tent stopped abruptly, and most faces froze in astonishment.
“Back to the third stage of Dou Qi?” These words, almost a complete reversal, left Ruo Lin stunned. This dramatic turn of events made her feel like she was listening to a story.
Covering her mouth with her hand, Ruo Lin took a moment to recover from the bizarre situation before asking, “What happened later?”
“Later, after a three-year period of cultivation stagnation, Brother Xiao Yan regained his extraordinary talent. In the year and a half after he turned fifteen, he advanced from the third stage of Dou Qi to a four-star Fighter.”
Xuner’s lips curled up in a smile, “So, Brother Xiao Yan’s current strength is just the result of a year and a half of cultivation, while Xuner has been cultivating for sixteen years. Who is stronger, it’s clear at a glance.”
“Whew…” As Xuner finished speaking, gasps of shock filled the tent. Gazes towards Xiao Yan were filled with awe at his terrifying talent.
Luo Bu and Ge Lian, in the corner, swallowed hard and looked at each other, both seeing the same fear and astonishment in each other’s eyes.
Narrowing her eyes, Ruo Lin exhaled slowly, then opened her eyes and gazed at the young man below, saying gently, “I didn’t expect that this silent little guy would be the most terrifying. If Xuner hadn’t spoken, you would have slipped through this time.”
