Beyond SSS-Level!

Beyond SSS-Level!

The woman looked much older than Xiao Yu and the others, around twenty-four or twenty-five. Her figure was shapely, her skin crystal-clear as jade and smooth as silk, and she radiated an alluring aura.

At the sight of her, the male students nearby wore feverish expressions, their eyes following her every move.

"Instructor Ruo Lin, you're finally here! I missed you so much, Yu'er!"

When she saw the woman in green, Xiao Yu's face lit up. She immediately ran over, wrapped her arms around the woman's, and shook them playfully.

The woman in green, known as Instructor Ruo Lin, stroked Xiao Yu's hair and asked with a fond smile:

"Your vacation must have been wonderful, right?"

A blush spread across Xiao Yu's face. She nodded. "Of course it was!"

Instructor Ruo Lin smiled, then turned her gaze to Xiao Tian, her eyes glinting with curiosity.

"Yu'er, is he someone you brought along?"

At her words, Xiao Yu's face instantly flushed. She replied:

"Instructor Ruo Lin, he's mine!"

Instructor Ruo Lin smiled gently. Her gaze lingered on Xiao Tian for a moment before she addressed everyone:

"Congratulations, everyone. You've all passed Jia Nan Academy's preliminary test. Now, follow me to have your potential values assessed!"

With that, Instructor Ruo Lin walked gracefully in one direction. The group hurried after her, and Xiao Yu dragged Xiao Tian along by force.

In the middle of a vast, open plaza stood a circular stone platform.

Instructor Ruo Lin stood before the platform and waved her slender hand. Light flashed from the Storage Ring on her finger, and a green parchment scroll, along with brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, appeared atop the platform.

"Welcome to Jia Nan Academy, new students. I'll now assess your exact strength and determine your potential values!"

"Eight-stage Fighting Qi corresponds to F-class potential!"

"Nine-stage Fighting Qi corresponds to E-class potential!"

"One-star Fighter corresponds to D-class potential!"

"And so on. The highest level is an SSS-level, Seven-star Dou Zhe. Of course, there are age limits as well: those at the Fighting Qi stage must be no older than eighteen, while those at the Dou Zhe stage must be no older than twenty!"

"In all these years, we've only had one new student with S-class potential: the Little Demoness. Her talent is truly extraordinary. I don't expect any of you to have S-class potential. I'll be more than satisfied if most of you reach C-class!"

"All right, let's begin the test!"

As she spoke, Instructor Ruo Lin swept her gaze over each new student, a faint smile playing on her lips.

The rules were simple. Everyone just had to place a hand on the Red Crystal Ball again. Once it measured their strength, the instructor would record the result.

Besides Xun'er and the others, there were more than a dozen other young men and women among this year's new students.

"Ye Kai, nine-stage Fighting Qi, E-class!"

"Fan Tong, eight-stage Fighting Qi, F-class!"

As Instructor Ruo Lin continued announcing the results, one name after another left her lips.

Before long, it was the Xiao Family's turn.

"Xiao Mei, eight-stage Fighting Qi, F-class!"

"Xiao Ning, nine-stage Fighting Qi, E-class!"

"Xiao Xun'er, Five-star... Five-star Dou Zhe, S-class!"

When Xun'er's potential was revealed, Instructor Ruo Lin's voice suddenly changed, filled with shock and disbelief.

Everyone turned to look at Xun'er at once. They were all stunned, their faces frozen in disbelief.

S-class—she actually had S-class potential!

But they clearly remembered that during the preliminary test with Rob, Xun'er had only been a One-star Fighter. How had she become a Five-star Dou Zhe by the second test?

These questions swirled in everyone's minds, leaving them baffled.

They had no idea that Xun'er had concealed her true level with a secret technique to keep a low profile.

"I can't believe she's already a Five-star Dou Zhe at such a young age. What a monster!"

"Exactly! With S-class potential, she's bound to achieve extraordinary things!"

"Speaking of which, I just remembered that when Senior Ge Ci provoked them earlier, I saw Xiao Xun'er looking ready to step in. I couldn't figure out why at the time, but now I see she really had the strength to do it!"

"That's right! Even if Xiao Tian hadn't stepped in, Xun'er could have taught that arrogant Senior Ge Ci a lesson!"

Students whispered among themselves across the plaza, looking at Xun'er with astonishment and admiration.

Xun'er stood where she was, her clear, beautiful eyes resting only on Xiao Tian. Her expression was serene, her lips curved in a gentle smile.

As if sensing the tender gaze on him, Xiao Tian looked up at Xun'er and smiled before walking over casually.

But after only two steps, Xiao Yu grabbed him and dragged him in front of Instructor Ruo Lin. Pushing him forward, she snapped:

"You damn fool, it's your turn! Get over there and take the test!"

Xiao Yu shoved Xiao Tian right up to the circular platform.

Everyone's attention shifted to him. They wanted to see his potential value, after all, Xiao Tian had just defeated Senior Ge Ci, a Four-star Dou Zhe.

Instructor Ruo Lin's gaze also fell on Xiao Tian, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

She had personally witnessed him defeat Ge Ci. His performance had amazed and impressed her, and she had even begun to think that he might be the most talented new student in this group.

Under everyone's eager stares, Xiao Tian could only feel helpless.

He hadn't planned to enter Jia Nan Academy at all. He had only stepped in because he couldn't stand watching Xun'er and the others get bullied!

He gave a wry smile, deciding to satisfy everyone's curiosity. Then he placed his hand on the Red Crystal Ball.

The Red Crystal Ball was crafted in a remarkable way, far more advanced than the Proving Magic Stone Tablet at the Xiao Family. According to what he'd heard, all one had to do was place a hand on it; there was no need to channel Dou Qi, and it could measure any level of strength.

"Vooom~~~"

The moment Xiao Tian's hand touched the Red Crystal Ball, the entire sphere burst into brilliant, dazzling light. The light blotted out the sky and covered the whole plaza!

At the sight, everyone's eyes widened as they held their breath and stared at the reading on the crystal ball.

When they saw that it displayed "Hundred Million Stage Fighting Qi," they all gasped in shock, left speechless.

"Hundred Million Stage Fighting Qi? H-how is that possible?"

"Am I seeing things? Can Fighting Qi really be cultivated to a hundred million stages?"

"Guys, do you even understand how terrifying this is? He's a monster, an absolute monster!"

Amid a chorus of exclamations, everyone stood frozen, staring blankly at the crystal ball.

"Instructor Ruo Lin, what potential level is a hundred million stages of Fighting Qi?" After a long, stunned silence, someone finally came to their senses and asked.

By then, Instructor Ruo Lin was already dumbfounded. She had never heard of anyone cultivating Fighting Qi to a hundred million stages. This completely overturned everything she knew about Fighting Qi!

"Brother Xiao Tian really does have a hundred million stages of Fighting Qi!"

Seeing everyone's stunned, disbelieving expressions, Xun'er's delicate face took on a hint of pride. She smiled as she confirmed it.

Hearing Xun'er's clear voice, Instructor Ruo Lin finally snapped out of her daze. The corner of her mouth twitched as she spoke with a tremble:

"With a hundred million stages of Fighting Qi, his potential value must be beyond SSS-level!"

The moment she said that, the entire plaza erupted!

Potential beyond SSS-level!

Just... how heaven-defying was that?

"I can't believe this batch of new students has not only an S-class genius, but also such a terrifying talent hidden among them. I've struck gold! If I bring him back to Jia Nan Academy, he'll shake the entire school!" Instructor Ruo Lin thought excitedly, her face flushed with delight.
