"Haha! Brother Lin, I knew it was you. With you there helping the team out of trouble, it all made sense."
Thousand-Household Commander Lu laughed when he saw Lin Hao, then introduced him to Gao Yan beside him. "Commandant Gao, this is the Hexi Jieyuan, a true martial genius. He has Innate Divine Strength and has reached Force Gathering and Transforming Force. Even we couldn't necessarily take him down easily.
"He once launched a surprise attack and killed a Bliss Divine Envoy while another expert at Great Achievement in Transforming Force held the envoy in check. A truly outstanding young man. He'll certainly achieve a Golden Roll Listing in next year's Metropolitan Examination. If he spends another three years honing himself, he could even become Top Scholar."
Thousand-Household Commander Lu introduced Lin Hao with considerable pride, making even Commandant Gao's scrutinizing expression shift slightly.
Although he was an Embrace the Elixir expert, Commandant Gao had always been stationed in one region. He had never truly fought on the front lines and had yet to gather his own force!
Even though he was stronger now, he knew the young man would probably surpass him in the future-
"So accomplished at such a young age. Back then, I only qualified as an associate Presented Scholar. Provincial Examination Laureate Lin should at least become a Second-Class Presented Scholar this time, and might even contend for First-Class Presented Scholar."
Commandant Gao spoke with some emotion.
The members of the two teams who had followed Lin Hao over were not at all surprised by the praise from these two Embrace the Elixir experts!
Only praise like this matched what he had shown them earlier!
Hundred-household Commander He was also a Transforming Force expert, as were the three senior instructors from the White Dragon Martial Arts
