Xiao Yu's Curiosity

Instructor Ruo Lin, after dealing with Gao Xiang's matter, then looked towards Lin Ze.

"That unwritten rule, I neither support nor oppose it."

"Since you have the ability to resist this rule, you must also realize the benefits of strength."

"If you want to be free from more rules in the future, work hard to improve yourself, little one."

Instructor Ruo Lin said to Lin Ze with a smile.

Lin Ze nodded in understanding, his expression calm as he said.

"Instructor Ruo Lin is right."

This Instructor Ruo Lin truly lived up to her title as an instructor, showing a bit of tailored teaching.

Instructor Ruo Lin took a deep look at Lin Ze, a hint of satisfaction showing in her eyes. He had strength and talent, and knew when to advance and when to retreat.

Any instructor would greatly favor a student like this.

Instructor Ruo Lin's red lips curved into a smile, and she said to everyone.

"Alright, students, the outskirts of the plaza have only completed the initial test. Next, the academy needs to know your more specific strength and potential ratings to better guide your education."

"Before the age of twenty, reaching Dou Disciple Rank 8 is F-class, Dou Disciple Rank 9 is E-class, and so on. Every small increase in strength will raise the rating."

"Of course, you don't need to worry about having too low a potential rating, as passing the initial test means you can become a Jia Nan student."

"Although I hope your potential ratings are as high as possible, I will be very satisfied if you can reach C-class or B-class."

Instructor Ruo Lin took out the parchment and ink for registration and sat at the table, beckoning.

The surrounding new students obediently lined up.

At least the new students before Lin Ze had been tempered by the senior students and had indeed become much more obedient.

Lin Ze pulled Xiao Yi Xian to the end of the line.

Because according to the order of arrival, they were indeed the last to arrive.

Instructor Ruo Lin looked at Lin Ze's retreating back, the smile on her face becoming even gentler.

This little fellow was quite heartwarming.

"Mo Du, Dou Disciple Rank 9, eighteen years old."

"E-class."

"Ge Qing, Dou Disciple Rank 8, nineteen years old."

"F-rank."

Students in front of them lined up, reporting their specific strength and age.

Instructor Ruo Lin lowered her head to register, giving a potential score.

Lin Ze and Xiao Yi Xian arrived at the end of the line. Seeing who was at the end, Lin Ze's brow twitched slightly.

It was the young girl with the long, shapely legs from before.

Seeing Lin Ze actually come to the end of the line, the young girl also showed surprise.

After all, in her opinion, a new student like Lin Ze, who had defeated a senior student, should naturally be different from them, new students who were left out in the sun.

However, being able to voluntarily join the end of the line didn't seem like an arrogant personality?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the young girl's face, and she said to Lin Ze and Xiao Yi Xian.

"Hello, we'll be classmates from now on. Let's get acquainted. My name is Xiao Yu, from the Xiao Clan in Wutan City."

A smile appeared on Lin Ze's face. It really was Xiao Yu.

This way, Lin Ze could finally confirm the time.

It was about a year until Xiao Yan's talent recovered.

Lin Ze had no intention of actively interacting with Xiao Yan; he would let things take their course.

He possessed the Bronze Mirror, and the heights he could reach in the future were not limited to the Dou Qi Continent, so there was no need to cling to Xiao Yan.

"Hello, my name is Lin Ze, from Qingshan Town on the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

Seeing Lin Ze speak kindly, Xiao Yi Xian followed suit.

"Xiao Yu, hello, I'm Xiao Yi Xian, also from Qingshan Town."

Xiao Yi Xian said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, surprise appeared on Xiao Yu's face.

She had thought they were from nearby cities.

She didn't expect them to be from a remote town on the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"You are amazing. Coming from Qingshan Town and reaching this level, your talent is astonishing."

Xiao Yu said sincerely.

Coming from a remote town meant instability and a lack of quality cultivation resources.

Under such circumstances, they were still able to pass the Jia Nan Academy's admissions.

Clearly, both of them possessed considerable Talent.

With the shared status of being new students at the academy, the three quickly became familiar and conversed in low voices.

As the three of them talked, the line also moved forward slowly.

Xiao Yu listened to the voices ahead and said with some emotion.

"Jia Nan Academy's standards are quite high. I was in seclusion for a while and only managed to break through on this final day."

"I barely passed the academy's initial test, and this... This is still the lowest level of the academy's potential rating."

As Xiao Yu spoke, she glanced at Lin Ze, feeling a sense of frustration.

She had just barely met Jia Nan Academy's admission standards, yet Lin Ze could directly beat senior students as a new student and had even mastered a Xuan Tier Dou Technique.

She wondered what kind of fortunate encounters Lin Ze had to achieve such a feat.

She was, after all, the biological granddaughter of the Great Elder of the Xiao Clan, one of the three major clans in Wutan City. Yet, compared to Lin Ze, she was completely outshone.

Although she felt a great deal of frustration internally, Xiao Yu did not show it. Instead, she smiled and spoke softly with Xiao Yi Xian.

While she was very curious about Lin Ze, she felt too embarrassed as a girl to actively pester Lin Ze with questions.

Therefore, Xiao Yu chose to speak softly with Lin Ze's companion, Xiao Yi Xian, to build a good relationship.

Soon, it was Xiao Yu's turn. An unremarkable, lowest-tier F-rank.

However, Xiao Yi Xian, like Xiao Yu, caused Ruo Lin's eyebrows to twitch slightly.

She had thought that by following Lin Ze, she might be able to recruit another student with astonishing Talent.

Among the new students recruited on the final day, the most talented was an eighteen-year-old One Star Dou Practitioner with a D-rank potential.

Even so, Ruo Lin was quite satisfied.

To reach One Star Dou Practitioner at eighteen years old, such potential was enough to make Ruo Lin happy.

After all, the area she was responsible for recruiting from was merely a remote corner of the Jia Ma Empire. The only large city there relied on the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

It couldn't compare to other large cities in the Jia Ma Empire, let alone the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire.

However, due to Lin Ze's previous performance, Ruo Lin had high expectations for him.

Even with a Xuan Tier Dou Technique at his disposal, to crush Gao Xiang so decisively, his own realm was also crucial.

Ruo Lin's red lips curved slightly, her long eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes revealed curiosity and anticipation.

"Little one, it's your turn."

"Lin Ze, Three Star Dou Practitioner, seventeen years old."

Ruo Lin's red lips parted slightly, her eyes, as gentle as flowing water, gradually turned into a deep smile.

Everyone in the tent also cast surprised glances.

Those gazes carried envy and jealousy.

Instructor Ruo Lin's tone seemed to carry even more gentleness.

"Little one... Lin Ze, your Talent is very good. After you get to the academy, remain humble and not impatient, and strive to make good use of your Talent."

This woman seemed to be able to make one's body go soft with her gentle, watery voice.

"Thank you for your guidance, Instructor Ruo Lin."

"I haven't taught you anything yet. This is the last day of recruitment. You can go back and pack your things first if you want. Just gather here tomorrow."

Ruo Lin rolled her eyes slightly, stretched, and said with a smile.
