One More Monstrous Than the Last!

Inside the tent, the seniors of Jia Nan Academy maintained order, directing the new students to line up in an orderly fashion.

However, everyone's gaze drifted, intentionally or otherwise, toward the back of the line.

As someone capable of cleanly and decisively insta-killing a three-star Dou Practitioner, just how strong was Xiao Ze?

This was a major question hanging over all their heads!

Seeing that the potential registration had begun, Xiao Yu was pulled aside by her close friends to sit and relax.

After all, with Xiao Ze and the others needing to wait in line, Xiao Yu felt a bit out of place among them.

"Tell me, Yu'er, what exactly is your cousin's strength? To be able to insta-kill Luo De like that, could he be on par with the Little Enchantress?"

Xueni couldn't help but ask.

The look she cast toward Xiao Ze was filled with flickers of curiosity and admiration.

With such formidable strength and a handsome appearance, how could one not be fond of him?

The other pretty girls also grabbed Xiao Yu's hands, pestering her with coquettish inquiries.

Xiao Yu knitted her willow-leaf brows. Recalling Xiao Ze's low-key personality, she pondered for a moment before giving an answer.

"I can only say that compared to my cousin, the Little Enchantress is far inferior!"

Xiao Yu's words made the pretty girls even more restless with curiosity.

Unable to satisfy their inquisitiveness, they continued to pester Xiao Yu.

They were desperate to know Xiao Ze's specific strength!

"Lin Xuan, seventeen years old, eighth stage of Dou Qi."

Ruolin held a brush in her delicate hand, quickly writing the corresponding information on the scroll, her red lips parting as she spoke.

"Grade F."

The young girl let out a sigh of relief, bowed slightly to Ruolin, and turned to wait on the other side.

The registration proceeded methodically, and the line moved slowly.

Due to the earlier conflict, Lei Luo stayed in front of Xiao Ze, chatting with him from time to time.

He was not from Wutan City, but had come from another city to attend the recruitment ceremony in Wutan City.

In that city, he was considered a top-tier genius.

The earlier conflict had made him realize that there is always someone better, and a mountain higher than the one you are standing on.

Of course, Luo De, who had defeated him using external force, did not count.

The one who truly represented the saying that there is always someone better was Xiao Ze!

The exchange between the two wasn't particularly enthusiastic.

They were merely discussing the different customs between their two cities.

Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian stood to the side, hand in hand, whispering to each other.

Before long, it was finally their turn; Lei Luo was next.

Excluding Xiao Ze and his two companions, Lei Luo was likely the most talented among this batch of new students!

Lei Luo arrived at the table and proudly reported his information.

"Lei Luo, seventeen years old, three-star Dou Practitioner!"

Lei Luo's words immediately sparked hushed discussions throughout the tent!

Since Lei Luo had been able to suppress Luo De earlier, those in the tent had already made their guesses.

But hearing it confirmed still left them shocked: a seventeen-year-old three-star Dou Practitioner!

A pleasant surprise appeared on Ruolin's face as she quickly wrote the information on the scroll.

"It seems this recruitment trip of mine is full of surprises; so many excellent seedlings. Grade B!"

After speaking, Ruolin cast an expectant gaze toward the final three.

"What about you three? Who will go first?"

These three little ones were not very old, yet they all met the recruitment requirements; it was just unclear what their specific strength was.

The three of them exchanged glances, and Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward, smiling as she said, "Let me go first."

"Xiao Yi Xian, age twelve, strength three-star Dou Practitioner."

Having wandered since she was young, Xiao Yi Xian didn't actually know her own age. Remembering that Xiao Ze seemed to be twelve, she simply reported that number.

"Hiss!"

"Is that for real? A twelve-year-old three-star Dou Practitioner!"

"My god, even the academy's Little Enchantress can't compare to that, right!"

Extremely heated discussions erupted all around.

Ruolin also looked at Xiao Yi Xian in surprise.

Hearing the exclamations of those around her, Xiao Yi Xian released a slight trace of her Dou Qi.

Now, they had no choice but to believe it!

Because based on simple perception alone, Xiao Yi Xian's Dou Qi was perhaps even stronger than what Lei Luo had displayed earlier!

As a Dou Grandmaster, Ruolin could naturally tell at a glance that Xiao Yi Xian was not lying.

Her heart was even more astonished; she had not expected these three little ones to give her such a huge surprise the moment they arrived!

And this was before it was even the turn of Xiao Ze, whose strength left even her unable to fathom!

Xiao Yi Xian stepped aside, and Xiao Xun'er moved with graceful steps, the young girl's ethereal voice echoing within the tent.

"Xiao Xun'er, twelve years old, six-star Dou Practitioner!"

In an instant, the tent, which had been restless due to Xiao Yi Xian's strength, fell into dead silence!

Every gaze was cast toward that slender, graceful figure.

There was nothing in their eyes but shock and horror!

When twelve years old was linked with a six-star Dou Practitioner, it represented a terrifying potential that transcended the academy's potential grading system!

Ruolin's fingers holding the pen stiffened slightly, and she looked up in surprise, her eyes filled with shock as she gazed at Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Xun'er did not hesitate, releasing a slight trace of her Dou Qi to let Ruolin verify it.

"I never expected that I would truly strike gold during this recruitment!"

"A potential that transcends S-rank! It is likely a record as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns in the history of the academy!"

"If nothing goes wrong, you should be the student with the most potential in this year's recruitment for Jia Nan Academy!"

Ruolin said excitedly, but Xiao Xun'er shook her head gently and laughed delicately.

"Instructor Ruolin should wait until Brother Xiao Ze finishes registering before drawing any conclusions."

Instantly, the curiosity of everyone in the tent was raised to the extreme.

To make someone with potential beyond S-rank like Xiao Xun'er speak with such confidence, just what was Xiao Ze's strength?

Xiao Ze stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xiao Ze, twelve years old. As for my strength, I ask that Instructor Ruolin investigate it personally."

Xiao Ze placed his hand on the table, drawing a wave of confusion from the crowd.

Xueni even shook Xiao Yu's body repeatedly, acting spoiled.

"Good Yu'er, good Yu'er, hurry and tell me Xiao Ze's true strength."

"How can your family have so many monsters? First, there was a Xiao Xun'er with potential beyond S-rank, and now here comes another Xiao Ze!"

Xiao Yu gave a dry laugh and did not speak.

Because she herself did not know Xiao Ze's true strength!

When she had returned earlier, Xiao Ze's strength was at the nine-star Dou Practitioner level.

All information since then had been based on hearsay and had not been verified.

On the other side, Ruolin, sitting before the table, immediately understood Xiao Ze's intention.

Is it the case that the tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind?

"You little one certainly have a lot on your mind. I would like to see if you are truly being mysterious for no reason."

Immediately, amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of countless male students, Ruolin extended her fair, slender hand and placed it on Xiao Ze's palm.

She slowly closed her eyes and began to sense Xiao Ze's strength; Xiao Ze did not stop Ruolin's probe.

Carrying her curiosity, Ruolin began to explore Xiao Ze's strength.

The meridians are quite tough... Water-attribute Dou Qi... same as mine... Dou Qi intensity... hmm, same as mine... same as mine!!!

BOOM!

Ruolin stood up abruptly, not even noticing that the table had toppled to the ground.

She looked at Xiao Ze with shock in her eyes, as if he were a monster wearing human skin!

Everyone was stunned by Ruolin's incredibly exaggerated reaction.

What kind of strength could make Instructor Ruolin lose her composure like this?

"No wonder! No wonder I couldn't see through your strike earlier!"

Ruolin muttered to herself, while the surrounding students were dying to know.

Instructor Ruolin, please don't be a riddle-maker at a time like this.

What exactly is his strength? Just tell us!

Everyone was itching with impatience!
