How could a mere third-rank Awakened possibly receive such attention from a Seventh-rank Grandmaster?!
Ji Yunxi didn't think Qin Tianlong, the Seventh-rank Grandmaster, was a fool who would simply hand over a Sacred Ice Spring Entrance Ticket of immeasurable value.
In other words, there had to be something fishy going on!
To solve the mystery weighing on her mind, Ji Yunxi casually asked another question: "What year are you in at school?"
Asking that was basically the same as asking his age.
That was because students couldn't retake the martial arts college entrance exam.
Eighteen-year-olds were in their senior year of high school, and nineteen-year-olds were freshmen in college...
The ages were fixed.
"Freshman year."
Lu Yuan replied.
Lu Yuan knew Ji Yunxi was asking his age from a different angle,
but there was no harm in telling her how old he was, so he answered.
It would have been one thing if Lu Yuan hadn't answered,
but his reply left even Ji Yunxi, an Awakened who had reached the fifth-rank middle stage at the age of just twenty-four, wide-eyed and visibly shaken.
That was because Ji Yunxi herself hadn't become a third-rank Awakened until her sophomore year of college, when she was twenty.
This young man before her had done it a year earlier than she had.
A year earlier might not sound like much.
But look at it another way:
In less than a year, he had gone from an Awakened to a third-rank Awakened.
Didn't that sound terrifying?!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Ji Yunxi stop, Lu Yuan couldn't help asking.
After all, he was counting on her to show him the way.
"Ahem, n-no... I'm fine."
Ji Yunxi came back to her senses, coughed softly, and waved her hand.
