Although Jing Hongchen was somewhat weak-willed and worldly by nature, he was by no means a fool.
Xu Tianming's connections were extraordinarily complicated, and some of his affairs could never have been concealed from the two men before him.
Thus, he had no intention of hiding Xu Tianming's abilities.
"President Jing Hongchen, you mean Xu Tianming, correct?"
Sure enough, Xu Tianran's very first words confirmed Jing Hongchen's guess.
"I heard he just returned from the Star Dou Forest after hunting Soul Rings."
"A twelve-year-old Four-Ring Soul Ancestor—forget unprecedented in our Sun Moon Empire, even in Shrek Academy, only those so-called Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago could compare, right?"
A Four-Ring Soul Ancestor?
Remembering the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings beneath Xu Tianming's feet, Jing Hongchen's expression became somewhat strange.
It seemed that even Crown Prince Xu Tianran did not know Xu Tianming's true strength.
"What? Am I wrong?"
Noticing Jing Hongchen's strange expression, Xu Tianran could not help but furrow his brows.
"If Your Highness believes that Tianming is merely a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, then you are underestimating him somewhat."
Shaking his head, Jing Hongchen revealed an inscrutable smile.
"Please allow me to keep you in suspense, Your Highness. You will soon see his true strength."
Xu Tianran's self-restraint was indeed impressive. He did not mind Jing Hongchen's deliberate mystery and simply nodded with a smile.
"Since President Jing Hongchen says so, then I look forward to seeing exactly what outstanding performance my cousin will deliver."
"Please wait and see, Your Highness and Elder Kong."
A thoughtful look flashed through Kong Deming's eyes, but he did not say anything further.
There was more than one instrument in the square, and the tests for over a hundred students proceeded in an orderly fashion.
However, the results were somewhat disappointing.
