The moment the girl spoke, the tent fell into a dead silence. Everyone's eyes were frozen, staring at the girl standing beside Xiao Yan, who was smiling faintly. Just when they had not yet recovered from the shock Xiao Yan had brought, they were hit with another sledgehammer.
A six-star Dou Practitioner... sixteen years old. This kind of potential seemed to have surpassed the limits of an S-rank. This kind of talent was far stronger than that little demoness in the academy. You are reading this story at – http://xtruyen.vn
Seeing the silence in the tent, Xiao Yan gave a helpless bitter smile. Xun'er revealing the truth was also beyond his expectations. He was currently at the five-star level, but he didn't expect this young girl to be so terrifying, her potential already surpassing super S-rank. Even he was astonished by this abnormal cultivation speed.
Inside the tent, hearing Xun'er's words, Xiao Yu's eyes widened and her mouth hung open. She had never seen Xun'er make a move within the clan, so she didn't really know her strength. Moreover, Xun'er's identity was mysterious, and no one had ever told her about it. In her eyes, Xun'er was one of the people cultivated by the family, with excellent talent, but talent to this extent...
"...Alas, the little demoness in the academy finally has a rival." Shaking her head with a bitter smile, Xiao Yu muttered to herself.
In the corner, Luo Bo's nerves had also recovered. He stared at the girl in green, remembering his previous reckless behavior, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He secretly thought to himself that he was lucky he hadn't offended this young lady just now. However, they didn't know that their teasing of Xiao Yan had already caused Xun'er's impression of them to plummet to an extremely low level.
The tent was quiet for a long time. Everyone slowly recovered their senses, glancing at each other, feeling a chill in their hearts.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect to meet a super S-rank new student." Ruo Lin's shocked expression was reined in, and her eyes looked at Xun'er with a strange glint. After a while, she smiled indifferently and said, "This time, the most outstanding new student of Jia Nan Academy is probably you, Xun'er."
Hearing Teacher Ruo Lin's evaluation, Xun'er smiled, but to everyone's surprise, she shook her head.
"Huh?" Seeing Xun'er shake her head, Ruo Lin stared, asking in confusion, "Is there someone even more outstanding than you?"
"Yes, Teacher Ruo Lin." Xun'er nodded, her phoenix eyes looking slightly pale, appearing very lovely. "Compared to him, Xun'er is indeed nothing."
"Oh?" Her eyebrows furrowed. Sixteen years old, a six-star Dou Practitioner, yet in this person's eyes, she was nothing. Teacher Ruo Lin shook her head, not quite believing it in her heart, but still asked curiously, "Who is he?"
Hearing Xun'er say these words, Xiao Yan already felt uneasy. Sure enough, after Teacher Ruo Lin asked, a smile appeared in Xun'er's eyes, and she subtly glanced at Xiao Yan.
All eyes in the tent followed Xun'er's moving gaze and then shifted to Xiao Yan.
"Heh, Junior Sister Xun'er, his talent is decent, but compared to you, it's still far inferior," Luo Bo said with a laugh from the corner.
In fact, not only Luo Bo had this thought. Except for two or three people, everyone else looked at Xiao Yan with suspicious eyes. Although A-rank potential was already strong, Xun'er was super S-rank, with extremely high talent, so everyone was skeptical.
Xun'er looked at Luo Bo indifferently, her aloof demeanor not responding, which made Luo Bo, who was trying to build a relationship, feel a bit awkward.
Seeing Xun'er's face turned towards Xiao Yan, Instructor Ruo Lin frowned slightly and helplessly looked at Xiao Yan, asking, "Xiao Yan, is there anything else you're hiding?"
"Hey, Yu'er, what exactly are they doing? Is it really as the instructor said, that Xiao Yan is hiding something?" Beside Xiao Yu, several female students asked curiously.
Xiao Yu didn't answer, her willow-like eyebrows furrowed, and the emotions on her face subtly shifted. Hearing Xun'er's reminder, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan... three years ago, his strength hadn't increased, and his cultivation had regressed more and more.
Moreover, in the past year, Xiao Yan had risen from three stages of Dou Qi to a four-star Dou Zhe. This terrifying cultivation speed was something even Xun'er couldn't match.
Recalling Xiao Yan's current strength, Xiao Yu couldn't help but gasp. Only now did she realize how terrifying the young man she used to tease was.
"There's nothing to hide. Everyone in Wu Tan City knows a little about my situation." Being stared at by everyone, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then smiled and said.
"Tell me? As a student at the academy, you must let the academy know your potential and value so that the academy knows how to cultivate you, and this is also beneficial to you." Instructor Ruo Lin put down her pen, looked at the young man, and spoke softly, in a way that truly made it difficult for a man to refuse.
"Let me tell it. Brother Xiao Yan doesn't like to talk about the past." Xiao Yan's expression was a little hesitant, then he looked at Xun'er and smiled, motioning for Xun'er to speak.
"Ah, ah, that's good too." Instructor Ruo Lin smiled, her gaze fixed on Xun'er. Xun'er was handling this matter for Xiao Yan, and with Ruo Lin's experience, she naturally detected some clues. Xun'er's actions were undoubtedly a bit proud. In her heart, she didn't want anyone to insult or ridicule Xiao Yan.
"This boy truly has quite a bit of luck with women." Instructor Ruo Lin's charming eyes subtly glanced at Xiao Yan, and she chuckled softly to herself.
Having reached this point, Xiao Yan also nodded helplessly.
Seeing Xiao Yan nod, Xun'er smiled faintly, furrowed her brows as she sorted through her memories, then slowly smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Yan began cultivating Dou Qi at the age of four."
Hearing this first sentence, Ruo Lin nodded slightly. The initial stages of Dou Qi cultivation were the most difficult. Cultivating at four years old was neither early nor late.
"At ten years old, he reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi."
Xun'er said softly, which shocked everyone in the tent. The initial stages of Dou Qi cultivation were very difficult. Generally speaking, even if one started cultivating Dou Qi at four years old and had good talent, it would still take until thirteen or fourteen years old to reach the ninth stage of Dou Qi. To reach the ninth stage of Dou Qi at ten years old, that speed was somewhat frightening.
"At eleven years old, he advanced to Dou Zhe." Hearing these words, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Yan, with a somewhat strange look in their eyes. Eleven years old... a Dou Zhe, this was unheard of even in Jia Nan Academy.
Sitting above, Instructor Ruo Lin's eyes lit up as if a flash of light had streaked across them.
"En... continue." At this point, Xun'er covered her small mouth and said softly, "From twelve to fifteen years old... Brother Xiao Yan regressed from a Dou Zhe... to the third stage of Dou Qi."
"Ugh..." Hearing this, no one in the tent spoke, and most faces froze.
"Regressed to the third stage of Dou Qi?"
This sentence caused everyone's expressions to change dramatically. Instructor Ruo Lin's face showed a hint of surprise. This story made her feel as if she were listening to an ancient tale.
Covering her crimson lips with her hand, after a moment, Instructor Ruo Lin recovered from her strange mood, then immediately asked, "So what happened next?"
"After that, after three years of empty cultivation, Brother Xiao Yan recovered his talent. After turning fifteen, in just one year, he went from three stages of Dou Qi to now a four-star Dou Zhe." Xun Er's small mouth curved into a slight smile as she mused, "So, if we consider Brother Xiao Yan's current strength, it's only based on nearly one year of cultivation. Whereas Xun Er has cultivated for sixteen years. Who is stronger, who is weaker, goes without saying."
"Hiss..."
As soon as Xun Er finished speaking, gasps continuously echoed through the tent. All eyes focused on Xiao Yan; such cultivation could only be described with one word: terrifying.
In the corner, Luo Bo and Gua La fiercely swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a hint of fear flashing across their faces.
Closing her eyes, Instructor Ruo Lin let out a slight breath, her gentle face turning towards the young man. "I didn't expect you to be such a terrifying young man. If Xun Er hadn't said anything, you really would have gotten away with it this time."
