An Ordinary Level Eighteen

"Hello, everyone. My name is Ning Rongrong. I'm six years old, my martial soul is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, my Soul Power is level nine, and I'm from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

My father is merely the ordinary sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Rongrong gave a sweet smile.

Silence!

Utter silence!

Even Liu Fangfang, who had seen countless children of great noble families, wore a blank expression.

Even the Duke's legitimate son was completely overshadowed before Ning Rongrong, the legitimate daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master.

Everyone in the class stared dumbfoundedly at Ning Rongrong, who wore a sweet smile.

Though they were still young, who had not heard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

They had never imagined that the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would actually be their classmate!

Lin Tianyi also looked at Ning Rongrong in some surprise. She had actually studied at the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Soul Master Academy when she was little.

What surprised him even more was that, by such a coincidence, he was in the same class as Ning Rongrong.

Seeing the stunned, dumbfounded reactions around her, Ning Rongrong's smile grew even brighter, revealing two rows of neat, pearly little teeth.

She's fucking here to crush noobs... Lin Tianyi silently complained.

He turned to look at Lin Xianxian beside him and found her happily savoring the little cake in her hands, taking tiny bites. Her adorable, doll-like face was filled with contentment.

Ever since Lin Xianxian had tasted delicious food for the first time over a month ago, she had awakened her inner super foodie. That plump little mouth of hers had hardly stopped moving.

Who knew whether Lin Xianxian's tiny stomach was bottomless? No matter how much she ate, it never seemed enough.

If they had not become Soul Masters and received one gold coin each month, Lin Tianyi's poor family would not have been able to afford feeding this super foodie.

Noticing Lin Tianyi's gaze, Lin Xianxian became a little wary. She silently hugged the bag of little cakes in her arms tighter and quietly moved farther away from him.

But then she remembered that he was her husband. Reluctantly, she took out two little cakes from the bag with one small hand and offered them to Lin Tianyi, saying in a guilty, timid voice, "Th-this is all that's left."

Lin Tianyi's mouth twitched. "I'm not hungry. You eat them."

Delighted light sparkled in Lin Xianxian's clear, big eyes. She wolfed down the little cakes one after another, happier than could be.

Having recovered from her shock, Teacher Liu Fangfang raised a hand to gesture for Ning Rongrong, who was proudly lifting her delicate little chin, to sit down.

Then she indicated for the next student to introduce themselves.

This student was clearly far less proud than the previous ones had been during their introductions.

One student after another introduced themselves, until it was finally Lin Tianyi's turn.

As the most simply dressed child in the class, Liu Fangfang worried that Lin Tianyi might feel inferior. She smiled encouragingly at him, signaling that he should not be afraid.

Noticing Liu Fangfang's encouraging gaze, Lin Tianyi was speechless. She was treating me like a child and coaxing me.

Lin Tianyi stood up and introduced himself openly and confidently.

"My name is Lin Tianyi. I'm six years old. My family background cannot compare to any of my classmates here. My father is merely an ordinary farmer from a rural village..."

The moment those words came out, the entire room erupted.

Everyone in the class widened their eyes and looked at Lin Tianyi in shock. They clearly had not expected a commoner to have slipped in among them.

Liu Fangfang also stared at Lin Tianyi in astonishment. She had thought that the child the headmaster had personally placed in Class One would be from some reclusive family, but he turned out to be merely the child of an ordinary farming household.

Ning Rongrong also looked at Lin Tianyi in surprise, unable to understand why someone of commoner birth could enter this class.

I knew they'd react like this, as if asking why I'm even here... Lin Tianyi thought helplessly.

Having come to her senses, Liu Fangfang worried that Lin Tianyi might feel inferior and hurriedly encouraged him, "It's all right, Tianyi. What matters in the academy is the individual. It has nothing to do with family background, so don't overthink it."

This teacher's actually pretty nice. She doesn't look down on me at all... Lin Tianyi was somewhat surprised.

"Tianyi, continue your introduction. Students, please be quiet," Liu Fangfang said.

The noisy classroom fell silent, but everyone's gaze upon Lin Tianyi had changed.

They had already looked down on Lin Tianyi because his clothes were plain and shabby, utterly unlike their gorgeous clothing and accessories—as different as heaven and earth.

Now that they learned Lin Tianyi was merely the child of a lowly ordinary farmer, their contempt and disdain were written openly across their faces without the slightest attempt at concealment.

As children of great nobles who were at least Marquises, they were incomparably arrogant. If they were outside, a lowly farmer's son like Lin Tianyi would not even be qualified to kneel and polish their shoes!

Their status and standing far surpassed Lin Tianyi's, so they naturally felt superior, as though they stood above others and could look down upon Lin Tianyi, who came from an ordinary farming family!

Ignoring the gazes around him, Lin Tianyi continued his introduction.

"My martial soul is the Dragon's Roar Sword, and my Soul Power is merely an ordinary level eighteen."

Silence!

Utter silence!

The entire room was deathly quiet. A pin drop could be heard.

The arrogant noble children all widened their eyes. The contempt, disdain, and arrogance in their eyes vanished completely.

They stared dumbfoundedly at Lin Tianyi in shock.

What?

What had he just said?

Level eighteen Soul Power?! And he called it merely an ordinary level eighteen?!

Had they eaten too much this morning and become so stuffed that they were hearing things?!

A six-year-old with Soul Power at level eighteen—I must be dreaming!

He was lying! This lowly farmer's son had to be lying!!

Everyone's minds went blank, filled only with question marks and intense doubt.

Even the proud Ning Rongrong had widened her eyes, her little mouth slightly open as she stared blankly at Lin Tianyi in shock.

He had to be bragging, right? How could such a monster possibly exist in this world!

But if it were true, wouldn't he be my perfect future other half!

The rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect surfaced in Ning Rongrong's mind. The spouse of every sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had to be a powerful battle-type Soul Master.

Liu Fangfang was dumbstruck, standing stiffly and motionlessly on the podium as if she had been turned to stone.

She had no idea what was going on around her. Her mind was completely blank.

Only after a long, long while did Liu Fangfang come back to her senses. Looking at Lin Tianyi, she said in disbelief, "Tianyi, it's not that I don't believe you, but you're only six. Level eighteen Soul Power is just too... too..."

Very quickly, Liu Fangfang could no longer speak.

The doubt in the eyes of those children who had questioned him vanished, replaced by profound shock and stupefaction.

Reflected in their eyes was a purple Soul Ring, circling Lin Tianyi's small body.

It was so dazzling! So breathtaking! So unbelievable!

A purple First Soul Ring!

A... a thousand-year First Soul Ring!!

Heavens! Was he even human?!

Wasn't the First Soul Ring supposed to be only around four hundred years at most? What was this?!

Everyone, including Liu Fangfang and Ning Rongrong, was dumbfounded.

Their basic understanding had been utterly shattered by the purple Soul Ring circling Lin Tianyi.

The silence lingered in the spacious classroom for a long, long time.

By the time everyone came to their senses and finally accepted that Lin Tianyi was six years old, possessed level eighteen Soul Power, and had a thousand-year First Soul Ring—

This time, the way everyone looked at Lin Tianyi no longer carried any hint of superiority. All that remained was deep shock and horror.

Ning Rongrong's gaze toward Lin Tianyi, meanwhile, gleamed with a strange light.

Lin Tianyi was handsome, and his talent was so astonishingly terrifying. He was simply her most perfect other half!

Since she would have to find a powerful battle-type Soul Master in the future, absolutely no one could compare to Lin Tianyi.

This had nothing to do with love. Their conditions were simply an exceptionally perfect match.

However, Ning Rongrong did not say it outright. Instead, she planned to observe him for a while and see what his character and conduct were like.

She did not think Lin Tianyi would refuse in the slightest, because she was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! The future sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

No one would ever be willing to reject her!!
