"Student, with your strength, I can admit you as an exception. There's no need to go through all those tedious procedures, and once you arrive at the academy, you'll receive the finest resources and training."
The woman's voice was gentle, and a smile remained on her lovely face, making others feel as though they were basking in a spring breeze. Her tone made it difficult to refuse her.
Yet Lin Feng shook his head and pointed inside. "There are several pretty good prospects in there. You can go take a look. As for me, I'm really not interested."
The commotion here had drawn the attention of many people. Lin Feng's reputation was simply too great in this place, so the attention he attracted went without saying. Moreover, the gentle and beautiful woman before him seemed to be a teacher from Jia Nan Academy, yet Lin Feng had refused her.
The disturbance here also caught the attention of the academy people by the tents.
Teachers and students from Jia Nan Academy curiously gathered around. The male teachers' gazes clearly carried a desire to please, along with other, more complicated feelings.
"What happened to Ruo Lin Instructor?"
Upon hearing the male teacher's words, Lin Feng's expression shifted slightly. This woman, gentle as water, was actually Ruo Lin Instructor.
And honestly, she really was incredibly feminine. Her gentle temperament and mature charm were especially captivating.
"Teacher Wang, this student possesses extraordinary strength. I wanted to recruit him into the academy, but he doesn't seem interested."
There was a trace of grievance in Ruo Lin Instructor's words. Her beautiful eyes looked toward Lin Feng as though he had done something terribly excessive.
When that male teacher heard this, he looked at Lin Feng, and his pupils suddenly contracted. "Hiss, there's actually such a gifted youth in a place like this."
Teacher Wang had not expected that the person Ruo Lin Instructor spoke of would be so powerful. Judging by his appearance, he was probably only eighteen or nineteen years old. Such talent had already surpassed S-rank.
Ruo Lin Instructor looked utterly disappointed. "What a pity. He isn't interested in our academy. He's only here to wait for his friends."
Those words, that tone, even made Lin Feng feel a little sorry for her. He himself felt that rejecting her like this was somewhat cruel. He should not have treated such a beautiful woman that way.
Lin Feng coughed and pointed at the tents behind them. "There's no need for you two to say anything more. My friends have already gone inside. Their talent is quite good as well, so don't waste any more time on me."
He currently had no intention of joining Jia Nan Academy. Besides, he never knew where the system would assign its missions next, so it was better for him to travel on his own. Though it was more arduous, what he gained could not compare to cultivating in the sheltered environment of an academy.
"Oh? Your friends went inside? Since they all wish to join Jia Nan Academy, don't you want to cultivate alongside them?"
Ruo Lin Instructor seemed unwilling to give up on a rare genius like Lin Feng and still intended to persuade him.
But Lin Feng had already made up his mind. At that moment, a delighted voice sounded from behind Ruo Lin Instructor. "Teacher!"
Following the voice, Lin Feng saw Xiao Yu rush into Ruo Lin Instructor's embrace on a pair of long legs, hugging that voluptuous body countless boys dreamed of.
"Yu'er, how was your holiday?"
When Ruo Lin Instructor saw her prized student, a gentle smile also appeared on her lovely face as she stroked the girl's silky hair.
"Hehe, it was pretty good." Xiao Yu gave a playful smile. "I brought some members of my clan over to register today. Their talent is all quite good."
Ruo Lin Instructor patted the girl on the shoulder. Only then did Xiao Yu rise from her embrace and notice Lin Feng standing opposite her. Her pretty face filled with delight, she hurriedly adjusted her clothes and asked, "Why are you here?"
There was anticipation in her voice.
Lin Feng smiled. "I came to wait for Xiao Yan. Once he's done, we'll be setting off."
Xiao Yu's lovely face filled with disappointment.
Ruo Lin Instructor and the other teachers beside her were somewhat surprised. "Yu'er, you know each other?"
Xiao Yu nodded. "Of course. He... he's my cousin."
Ruo Lin Instructor was slightly surprised. Then she glanced at Lin Feng with a smile. "How old is this cousin of yours?"
"Seventeen."
Hiss~
Teacher Wang and Ruo Lin Instructor were both startled. He was not even twenty, yet he had already reached such a level. That was truly terrifying.
Seeing that Ruo Lin Instructor and the others seemed very interested in Lin Feng, Xiao Yu asked curiously, "Teacher, what's going on?"
"Hehe, nothing. It's just that your cousin's talent is astonishing. I wanted to recruit him into the academy for cultivation, but he doesn't think much of our academy."
Ruo Lin Instructor's tone was exceptionally gentle, yet it faintly revealed a trace of grievance. Countless boys present immediately felt boundless sympathy for her. The way they looked at Lin Feng seemed to carry anger, as though he had committed some unforgivable atrocity.
Lin Feng looked awkward. Was this the charm of a beauty?
Look at those gazes. It was as though they wanted to tear him apart.
Xiao Yu shot Lin Feng a reproachful glance and said resentfully, "Hmph, he's very impressive, you know. He's a Dou Zhe Eight Star, and he's also a Tier 3 Alchemist. Of course he doesn't think much of our academy."
The other people from Wu Tan City were relatively calm. Those words no longer shocked them as much, since they had heard plenty about Lin Feng over the past few days and knew just how monstrous he was.
But Ruo Lin Instructor and the others could not remain calm. Their lovely faces were filled with shock. "Yu'er, what did you say?! He's also a Tier 3 Alchemist?"
Xiao Yu was not surprised by her teachers' reaction. After all, everyone who heard of Lin Feng's monstrous talent reacted the same way.
Xiao Yu merely nodded, and Ruo Lin Instructor immediately turned her gaze toward Lin Feng. Lin Feng promptly shook his head. "Ruo Lin Instructor, is it? Please, don't waste your time on me. Rather than spending time here, you'd be better off looking inside. The two people Xiao Yu brought in won't disappoint you."
Although one of them would soon be asking for leave.
Lin Feng silently added in his heart.
Perhaps seeing the determination in Lin Feng's heart, Ruo Lin Instructor still asked, "Student, do you truly not intend to join Jia Nan Academy?"
"Thank you for your kind offer, Ruo Lin Instructor, but I have my own matters to attend to. Even if I joined the academy, I wouldn't be able to cultivate there. So please, don't say anything more."
Ruo Lin Instructor shook her head, disappointment covering her lovely face. "Sigh, all right. What a pity. With such excellent talent, you would surely receive the best resources at the academy. Before long, you would certainly become a powerhouse in your own right."
"Forget it, forget it. Yu'er, take me to see the people you brought. I hope they can offer me a little comfort."
