"Who is that? Why is the Great Elder personally accompanying him?"
"Judging by his age, he should be a student, right?"
"How is that possible? The last Inner Academy selection ended more than half a year ago. The students who were supposed to come arrived long ago. Why would he only come now?"
"Who knows? But if he can make the Great Elder accompany him, he must have some skill. I wonder if we'll be able to see him on the Strong Ranking in the future."
"I think that's unlikely. He's too young. He looks like he's only in his teens. Even if his talent is astonishing, I don't think he can compare to the people on the Strong Ranking."
"Speaking of talent, the strongest talents in the Inner Academy should be Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing, right? I heard those two are already Three-Star Dou Ling."
"Your information is out of date. They broke through to Four-Star Dou Ling the day before yesterday, one right after the other."
"Tsk, those two really are strong. I reckon in three years at most, both of them will be able to break through to Dou Wang."
"I heard they both have high-level Dou Techniques. I wonder if, when they reach the peak of Dou Ling, they'll be able to pull that one down."
"Don't even think about it. That one can smash a peak Dou Ling even without using Dou Techniques. Do you know whether she knows any Dou Techniques?"
Noisy discussions rang out one after another. Xiao Jin said helplessly, "Great Elder, let's stop here for today. If we keep walking around, I'm afraid I'll become the focus of the Inner Academy."
Su Qian chuckled. "You really are afraid of trouble. But you have a point. Let's stop here for today."
