Ling Ao's Discernment

Ling Ao led Ling Fei out of the Administration Building and headed towards the college gate.

"Patriarch, are we just going to let this go like this?" Ling Fei said in a low voice, his face showing reluctance. "Although Yuan Shouzhen has a very high status in the cultivation world, you are already Ascended Immortal. Why should you give him this face?"

"Don't underestimate him." Ling Ao sighed, "Old Yuan's foundation is unparalleled in the entire cultivation world. Back then, his feat of challenging the Feather Transformation Realm with his Peak talent shocked the world. If it weren't for that incident later... let's not talk about it. In short, many people believed that if he had successfully Feather Transformation, the title of the number one person in the world would probably have changed hands."

"But didn't he still fail in the end?" Ling Fei frowned. "And it's said that he's now a cripple."

Ling Ao shook his head. "No one but himself can say for sure how much of Old Yuan's power he has left. Moreover, over the years, the connections and treasures he has accumulated are unmatched by others... If Su Manchen said she could purify Ling Xin's corruption, I certainly wouldn't believe it. But since these words came from Yuan Shouzhen's mouth, it's worth a try."

"We'll know the final result in three months. If we can really purify Ling Xin's pollution, it will be a good thing for us..."

As he spoke, Ling Ao raised an eyebrow and looked diagonally ahead.

A young man Village Chief walking towards them, passing by them and heading towards the Administration Building.

"What's wrong?" Ling Fei asked, puzzled. The young man seemed unremarkable, nothing special.

The future is promising, but only in the future. The cultivation world has never lacked talented young people, but very few can truly reach the Peak or even Feather Transformation. Such a seedling is not worthy of more attention from an immortal.

Luo Jun turned around and, seemingly casually, glanced at the two people walking towards the school gate, then immediately shifted his attention elsewhere as if nothing had happened...

The fact that the island lord praised his talent surprised Ling Fei, who then said, "Ningdong Academy, with its Martial World background, attracts Young Talent from all over the country. Perhaps he's a rising star from some Great Family..."

It's like weightlifting. Even if both lift 100 kilograms, you can tell the difference in skill level by whether their movements are standard and clean, whether their bodies tremble, and so on.

"This..." Ling Fei also knew that different physical conditions could lead to subtle differences in walking posture.

"Ding! The event 'Undetected True Level' was successfully completed. Event Difficulty: 62 points, Severity Coefficient: 9x, Final Experience Value: 558!"

"That's precisely why something's wrong." Ling Ao narrowed his eyes. "There's not a trace of qi on him, but the way he walks demonstrates extremely strong power and coordination."

Ling Ao nodded. "I wouldn't dare say it's any higher, but this kid's strength is probably more than a hundred times that of an ordinary person..."

"I'm sure he didn't use any internal energy..." Ling Ao shook his head. "Moreover, his Inner Breath is very smooth, and the level of assistance he provides is not high. I estimate that his Acquired Potential is at least fifty or sixty times that of an ordinary person. If he is a student, this talent is astonishing."

"Which teacher from the academy is this? I've never seen him before?" Ling Ao asked, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"A teacher? He can't be that young. This kid doesn't even look twenty; he should be a student." Ling Fei asked curiously, "Is there anything special about him? He doesn't even have any internal energy; I can't tell his cultivation level..."

Ling Ao turned around and continued walking out of the school with Ling Fei.

However, walking is a very simple sport, and if someone's physical fitness is several times that of an average person, the difference is basically imperceptible. At least with Ling Fei's eyesight, he couldn't tell whether someone's physical fitness was five or ten times that of an average person just by their gait.

"A hundred times?!" Ling Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be Hidden Qi?"

"Master, what have you noticed?"

Ling Ao nodded and exclaimed, "I wonder whose junior this is; he has a bright future ahead of him..."

But Ling Ao is different. He is an immortal in the Ascension Realm. Although he is not like the immortals of the Insight Faction who can see the level of a person's realm or even the category of their abilities at a glance, these subtle differences that ordinary people cannot perceive still cannot escape his eyes.

"Phew..." Luo Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

"That man next to Ling Fei is terrifying... Was that chill he released just now...?"

Just now, feeling an unusual chill emanating from the Administration Building, Luo Jun focused his attention on the direction of the principal's office.

This time was different from the last. Only a few students, including Luo Jun, sensed it. Although the chill was far more bone-chilling than before, it was extremely restrained and suppressed to a very small area. Only those who were sufficiently perceptive could sense it.

This kind of tactic shows that the person who came this time is definitely a big shot far more powerful than Ling Fei!

However, the chill dissipated not long afterward. The other students, with their keen senses, assumed that the other party had simply withdrawn their oppressive aura and, while surprised, didn't pay much attention. Only Luo Jun noticed the subtle difference.

That chill was pierced by another sharp aura! Although that aura was not as vast and heavy as the chill, it was extremely sharp, like a nail piercing into the principal's office, forcing the owner of the chill to restrain his aura.

More importantly, that nail had a familiar smell!

Master?

Luo Jun took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately decided not to call his Master. He didn't know what kind of opponent his Master was facing, and he was afraid of distracting him, but he was also worried, so he decided to go and see for himself.

This is, after all, the Ningdong campus, and the Administration Building is full of experts. No matter who the other party is, they wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous here...

Even if things really come to a head, he's already at his Peak, and if his Master is in danger, he can lend a helping hand.

He refused to believe that there was anyone that even a prestigious institution like Ningdong Academy couldn't handle.

However, the man he had just passed made Luo Jun realize that he had been too naive.

The mere scrutiny from him made Luo Jun feel like a hare being watched by a tiger; if the tiger got hungry, a single swipe of its paw would mean certain death for Luo Jun...

The bone-chilling cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, made him activate the Dice of Heavenly Secrets almost without hesitation...

Although the final judgment was successful, Luo Jun knew that since he had caught his attention, he must have seen something unusual about him.

Successful, but not entirely successful; insightful, but not entirely insightful...

Since encountering Yuan Qi, he has faced countless opponents, but whether he was initially weak or gradually grew stronger, he had never experienced such a feeling of despair and helplessness...

This man is not on the same level as anyone or anything else we've encountered before... not even the creatures we've met!

Who exactly is this person... the true Peak? No... even "Night's" record can be mistaken for his Peak; even if there's a gap, it shouldn't be this obvious.

Feather Transformation!

This is definitely a celestial being in the Ascension Realm!

Beside him was Ling Fei, the only other member of the Ling Family at the Ascension Realm, and that was Ling Ao, the island lord of Lingyun Island!

Why would such an important person come to the academy?

Luo Jun shook his head; these weren't things he should worry about... He looked up at the Administration Building in front of him; the aura that had seemed to Master had subsided and was no longer noticeable. Unsure what had happened, Luo Jun was a little worried. He gritted his teeth, walked through the main entrance, went up the stairs, and made his way to the principal's Reception Room room...

I raised my hand and knocked lightly. The door wasn't closed, and the force of the knock pushed it open.

Inside the room, there were two familiar figures. One was Dean Su Manchen, and the other... that familiar Mediterranean, it really was Master!

You're finally back!!

Luo Jun was about to go in when he suddenly noticed that his Master's hand was touching Dean Su's face, their behavior very intimate... Both of them had heard his knocking and turned to look at the door.

Forehead...

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

"Sorry to bother you..."

Luo Jun closed the door and left...
