That was right—this was the aura and vitality of an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist!
The real deal!
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Wasn't he Lowest Grade talent? How did he become an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist?"
"That has to be fake. An Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist in the second year of high school... that clearly requires at least General Rank talent. How could he be Lowest Grade?!"
"Something's not right! Su Zhan was obviously a Beginner Quasi-Martial Artist before. How did he suddenly become advanced?"
"..."
The students exploded into an uproar.
If this had happened to anyone else, the students would not have reacted so strongly.
Wasn't it just an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist?
It was not as though they had never seen one before.
But the outrageous part was that Su Zhan was a second-year high school student—their classmate!
They spent every day with Su Zhan.
They all knew he had only been a Beginner Quasi-Martial Artist.
And he had not even stood out much among those at the same level.
Yet in the blink of an eye,
he had somehow become an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist?
What in the world was this?!
One had to know that among the entire second-year students, even the geniuses with General Rank talent were only Intermediate Grade Quasi-Martial Artists, still one step away from becoming Advanced Quasi-Martial Artists... What was more, they had the support of great Lineages, famous teachers, pills, cultivation methods, and countless cultivation resources.
Even under those circumstances, they had failed to reach the level of Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist.
Yet Su Zhan had overtaken them all in one leap!
And they were supposed to believe that talent was Lowest Grade?
Who was he trying to fool?
Even the homeroom teacher found it hard to believe, his face filled with shock.
Still, he had seen the world before. He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his inner turmoil. "Su Zhan, you've already become an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist. By all reasoning, you should have at least General Rank talent."
"You can joke around, but don't take it too far... I'll add your name to the Martial Sciences list, and I'll actively help you apply to the Elite Class as well. With your talent, getting into the Elite Class will be no problem at all. Rest assured about that!"
Clearly, the homeroom teacher had taken Su Zhan's claim of having Lowest Grade talent as a joke.
"People don't even believe the truth these days..."
Su Zhan shook his head and looked at his classmates. "Who has a Talent Testing Instrument?"
"I do!" One student pulled a Talent Testing Instrument from his backpack and tossed it directly to Su Zhan.
Su Zhan raised a hand and caught it.
Then he plucked out a strand of hair and placed it into the testing slot.
To put it bluntly, talent testing was genetic testing.
"Beep."
A soft sound rang out.
The words "Lowest Grade" appeared glaringly on the screen.
"Well? You believe I wasn't lying to you now, right?"
Su Zhan swept his gaze across the room and raised an eyebrow.
Looking at him, those who knew it said he was Lowest Grade; those who did not would have thought he had awakened some General Rank or Commander Rank talent...
At that moment, the entire classroom fell silent as a graveyard.
The students looked at one another, every pair of eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.
"You... this... Lowest Grade... How is that possible?!"
The homeroom teacher completely lost his composure. His eyes widened, and his face was full of horror.
His worldview had suffered an unprecedented impact.
Lowest Grade talent.
For an ordinary person, it meant that becoming an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist in this lifetime would be nearly impossible... Yet Su Zhan had not only done it, but had done so while still a second-year high school student!
How could that not shock him?
"Su Zhan, you... how did you do this?"
Though the homeroom teacher tried his best to remain calm, the slight tremor in his voice betrayed him.
"I don't know either. I just kept training, and somehow I broke through."
Su Zhan said breezily.
The less clearly he explained something like this, the more beneficial it was for him.
Sure enough.
After hearing that, the homeroom teacher and students were so bewildered that they could not even come up with a plausible guess... Come on, that was Lowest Grade talent.
Even if powerful magnates, descendants of strong cultivators, and wealthy clans behind someone piled on expensive pills and cultivation resources with all their might, they still might not be able to produce an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist while that person was in their second year of high school!
Right now, only two words remained in their minds: utterly absurd. Nothing but utterly absurd!
At the same time, their understanding of Su Zhan became blurred.
You said Su Zhan was a useless good-for-nothing?
Could a useless good-for-nothing become an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist in their second year of high school?
You said Su Zhan was a monstrous genius?
What monstrous genius had fucking Lowest Grade talent?
"Teacher Ren, with my talent, I can enter the Elite Class, right?" Su Zhan asked.
"Of course there's no problem!"
The homeroom teacher immediately perked up. "Based on the fact that you're an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist alone, there will absolutely be a place for you in the Elite Class! I can guarantee it!"
Though he did not know exactly what had happened to Su Zhan,
as long as Su Zhan continued growing stronger at this pace, reaching the Martial General level would be more than easy!
If one of his own students became a Martial General level expert... one could imagine how much glory he would gain from it!
Naturally, the homeroom teacher attached exceptional importance to Su Zhan and directly gave him his guarantee.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Ren."
Su Zhan said, "I have something to do, so I'm leaving."
"If you have something to do, hurry and take care of it. Leave this to me!"
The homeroom teacher sent Su Zhan away with a broad smile.
As the students watched Su Zhan's departing figure, they felt nothing but envy. As for jealousy and hatred?
Before an existence they could not even hope to glimpse the back of, they simply could not summon any jealousy or hatred!
"Holy shit! Explosive news! Class Four of the second year actually produced an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist!"
"My goodness, no way, right? This Su Zhan actually has Lowest Grade talent? This isn't a joke?"
"It has to be fake! Can someone with Lowest Grade talent become an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist in their second year of high school? Is that even possible? If he really is Lowest Grade, you can use my head as a ball!"
"What does Lowest Grade even mean? Reaching Intermediate Grade Quasi-Martial Artist in this lifetime would already be incredible. Becoming an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist is difficult enough—this news is obviously fake!"
"Becoming an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist in the second year of high school—this guy Su Zhan is about to soar into the heavens in one bound!"
"One of the four slots is about to be reserved again!"
"..."
The school's circle was small.
What happened one moment could spread throughout the entire campus the next.
All the students exploded into an uproar.
An Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist in the second year of high school was already shocking enough.
Lowest Grade talent was an even greater challenge to the limits of their nerves. Everyone discussed it heatedly, and the topic's popularity soared madly... In no time, Su Zhan became famous throughout the school, with the news even gradually spreading outward!
"Su Zhan has already become an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist?!"
"And he actually has... Lowest Grade talent?!"
Naturally, Lin Jinyu was no exception to news that the entire school knew.
When she learned that Su Zhan had become an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist, she was startled and found it difficult to remain composed. She was utterly amazed by the speed of Su Zhan's advancement and breakthroughs... After all, it had only been ten days since Su Zhan broke through to Intermediate Grade Quasi-Martial Artist!
Ten days.
Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist.
That was not just a little faster than her.
But before she could recover from the shock, she suddenly learned that Su Zhan actually had Lowest Grade talent... Lin Jinyu could no longer hold herself back, and rare horror appeared on her lovely face.
She could accept Su Zhan becoming an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist.
But she found it impossible to accept that Su Zhan had Lowest Grade talent!
Those two extremes, as unrelated as wind and horse, completely shattered her worldview and rewrote everything she knew!
