After finishing the intelligence report on Spirit Controllers, Xu Xin looked at Xu Qing. She could basically confirm that his constant habit of appearing dazed was caused by the continuous release of his spiritual power.

"Sister Xin, what's wrong?" Xu Qing blinked his eyes as he noticed her staring at him.

Xu Xin smiled slightly. "Xiao Qing, are you able to see your own sea of consciousness?"

"Sea of consciousness? Do you mean my mind?" Xu Qing was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, your mind. Can you see something inside it?" Xu Xin asked.

Xu Qing nodded. "Mm, there is a glowing ball."

"Is that ball solid, and is it constantly dissipating?" Xu Xin continued to press.

"Yes, that's right. It keeps emitting a mist. Sister Xin, how did you know?" Xu Qing replied, looking at her with curiosity.

He clearly hadn't told anyone about this.

"I deduced it, of course. You'll understand once you read this yourself." Xu Xin patted his head and handed him the tablet.

Xu Qing took the tablet and began to read.

In a short while, he understood and realized what his situation was.

"So I'm a Spirit Controller," Xu Qing said in surprise, never expecting that he was the most powerful type of martial artist.

"That's right. Xiao Qing, you are a Spirit Controller, which is even rarer than an ordinary martial artist. Based on your current situation, your true strength should be two levels higher, which would be an Intermediate War General," Xu Xin said, feeling a bit emotional.

She truly hadn't expected Xu Qing to be the rarest type of martial artist. Now, his strength could be firmly classified at the Intermediate War General level.

A War General-level martial artist might not be much, but Xu Qing was only seventeen.

A seventeen-year-old War General—and an Intermediate one at that—carried a completely different significance. He undoubtedly had the potential to become a War God.

Or rather, as long as no accidents occurred, Xu Qing would definitely become a War God-level martial artist in the future.

Across the entire Earth, War God-level martial artists were neither too many nor too few, but there was no doubt that they were extremely powerful.

Take the Xu Family, for example; they spent over ten billion annually just to maintain good relations with those few War God powerhouses, and the Xu Family had to take the initiative to curry favor, keeping a low profile.

This showed just how highly sought after War God-level martial artists were on Earth.

War General and War God—a difference of one word, yet a world of difference.

"Intermediate War General, does that mean I can be considered a powerful martial artist now?" Xu Qing asked curiously.

"Mm, an Intermediate War General is already very powerful. And Xiao Qing, you are only seventeen; you will only become stronger in the future," Xu Xin nodded.

According to the information, Xu Qing's strength was still in a period of rapid growth because the spiritual power in his sea of consciousness had not yet been fully released.

"Sister Xin, does that mean I can become a martial artist and go kill monsters?" After realizing his own strength, Xu Qing became a bit curious about the outside world.

Xu Xin shook her head. "No. Xiao Qing, you are still young and don't understand the malice of the human heart. It's too dangerous to go out and kill monsters, and I'm worried."

"You can become a martial artist first, but we'll talk about killing monsters later. Besides, the college entrance exam is coming up soon. Don't you want to go to university with me?"

"I do! Then I won't go kill monsters," Xu Qing quickly changed his mind.

Xu Xin smiled with satisfaction. "That's good. Xiao Qing, let your strength be a secret between us for now. Don't tell anyone else, okay?"

She didn't want Xu Qing to be used by others; in her eyes, he was too innocent.

"Oh, I understand," Xu Qing nodded obediently.

And so, Xu Qing continued to go to school with Xu Xin, preparing for the upcoming college entrance exam.

A month passed by in a flash.

The college entrance exam lasted for three days, and the results would be out in just one week—very fast.

For Xu Qing, the exam was no different from his usual tests; he felt absolutely no pressure.

After the three days of exams ended, Xu Qing and Xu Xin waited at home for the results.

On the day the results were released, Xu Xin checked both her and Xu Qing's scores at home. She had scored 588, while Xu Qing had scored 600—not a point more, not a point less.

"Xiao Qing, don't you usually score 700? Why did you only get 600 this time?" Xu Xin asked him.

Xu Qing thought for a moment. "Doesn't this mean I can go to the same university as you, Sister Xin?"

Hearing this answer, Xu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why would he think that? Even if he scored 700, he could still go to the same university as her.

"You little fool, that's not how it works. Never mind, 600 is 600. We'll just apply to the same university," Xu Xin pinched his cheek. How could this younger brother of hers be so adorably silly?

Once the results were out, Xu Xin told the elders of the family.

Xu Xin's grandfather was the head of the Xu Family, her parents were senior executives in the family business, and her older brother also managed family assets.

Upon hearing Xu Xin's exam results, the whole family returned to celebrate with her.

"Xinxin scored 588, which is already above the first-tier cutoff. Xinxin, where do you want to go to university?" her mother asked with a smile during dinner.

"Jiangnan University, and Xiao Qing will come too," Xu Xin replied.

Hearing Xu Xin's answer, her mother glanced at Xu Qing, who was sitting there eating his food earnestly, and smiled. "That's fine. If Xiao Qing goes to the same university as you, Xinxin, you'll have a companion."

"Xiao Qing, you scored 600 this time. Is there anything you want? Just say it; as long as your uncle can do it, I'll promise you," Xu Xin's father said with a smile.

The Xu family loved Xu Qing by extension, and since Xu Qing was indeed very likable and had good grades, the whole family treated him very well.

Since Xu Qing was from a collateral branch of the Xu Family and his parents were no longer around, it was highly appropriate to groom him as a direct descendant, allowing him to become Xu Xin's right-hand man in the future.

Xu Qing was eating, but he looked up at Xu Xin's father and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xu, but there is no need. I don't really want anything."

"Haha, is that so? Very well then. Whenever you decide there is something you want, feel free to ask me at any time," Xu Xin's father replied with a smile.

"Xiao Qing, you can tell me as well," Xu Xin's older brother, Xu Gang, also spoke up.

Xu Gang was several years older than Xu Xin and currently managed the Xu Family's businesses, frequently interacting with people from other prominent families.

As for Xu Qing, because he had grown up alongside Xu Xin since they were children, Xu Gang had always treated him like a younger brother.

"Mn, thank you, Big Brother," Xu Qing nodded.

"Once Xiao Qing graduates from university, arrange for him to work together with Xinxin," the head of the Xu Family, who was sitting at the head of the table, finally spoke.

Once the old man had spoken, it was effectively an official recognition of Xu Qing's status as a direct descendant of the Xu Family.

"I understand, Father," Xu Xin's father replied with a smile.
