The old Giant Whale looked at him and smiled faintly. "Boy, aside from your Soul Power being passable, this old man really doesn't think much of the rest."
Bi Fan scratched his head with an awkward grin, feeling a little embarrassed. It sounded like there was no chance, but at least the old man hadn't rejected him outright.
