"Teacher, you're asking as if I'm not already fourteen. I'm not a toddler; isn't it normal to understand these things?" Lu Yunxiao shrugged, his tone calm.
"Oh? Is that so? Since that's the case, does our little genius have a crush on anyone?" Teacher Ruo Ling asked with a playful smile.
"What's this? Teacher Ruo Ling still interested in my personal affairs?" Lu Yunxiao didn't answer directly; instead, he squinted and countered.
"Teacher's just concerned. I thought if you didn't have someone in mind, I could introduce you to someone. We have plenty of beauties here at the Jia Nan Academy." Teacher Ruo Ling said with a smile.
"Thanks for the kind offer, but that won't be necessary. If there's someone I like, I'll pursue her myself," Lu Yunxiao said calmly.
"I see. That's a pity," Teacher Ruo Ling shook her head, a look of regret on her face.
Lu Yunxiao pursed his lips, not saying more. In just a few exchanges, he noticed that although Teacher Ruo Ling was gentle, her words were quite sharp.
Her tactics were subtle, playing the role of the mastermind.
Indeed, experienced women like her were worldly-wise and not as easily shy as young girls.
Not every woman was as innocent as Yun Yun. Despite being around the same age as Teacher Ruo Ling, Yun Yun was more conservative in her heart.
Yun Yun was pure and kind-hearted, dedicated in matters of the heart. Thinking back to the breathtaking figure he had seen, Lu Yunxiao's mind was a bit dazed. Her charm was truly immense; it had been several days, yet her image lingered in his mind, never fading away.
"Someday, you'll be mine, and that day isn't too far," Lu Yunxiao silently resolved. He was determined to win Yun Yun over. In this life and the last, after so many years, she was the first woman he had yearned for so deeply.
"Since the host wants to be with Yun Yun, then strive to improve yourself. Strength is the fundamental key," the system suddenly spoke.
"Of course, I'll try to accelerate my growth as much as I can," Lu Yunxiao affirmed, his expression resolute. His determination to become stronger had never wavered.
In a world like Battle Through The Heavens, strength was the foundation of everything. Even if one obtained something, without strength, it couldn't be preserved. Ultimately, it would be lost.
He understood this principle from the very beginning.
With a slight focus, Lu Yunxiao glanced at Teacher Ruo Ling beside him. His gaze then shifted to the door where a group of new students had just arrived.
Teacher Ruo Ling diverted her gaze from Lu Yunxiao and looked at the incoming new students.
Lu Yunxiao joined the group of new students. There weren't many of them, totaling no more than twenty.
Recalling the long queue he had seen in the morning, Lu Yunxiao shook his head. Those were mostly people just joining for the fun; very few could pass the test.
Teacher Ruo Ling glanced over them again. Her clear eyes blinked softly, and she smiled gently, "Hello, congratulations on passing the test and officially entering the Jia Nan Academy. However, as the school needs to differentiate students by their potential, I now need to know your exact strengths."
"Eight-stage Dou Zhi Qi belongs to F rank potential, which is the minimum standard for Jia Nan Academy's enrollment."
"Nine-stage Dou Zhi Qi is E rank potential."
"One-star Dou Zhe, D rank, and so on. The highest rank is a Five-star Dou Zhe, which is S rank."
"In the past ten years of Jia Nan Academy's enrollment history, there has been only one person who reached S-rank. That little genius girl joined the academy not long ago and has become a prominent figure in the academy."
Pausing there, Teacher Ruo Ling looked at Lu Yunxiao, smiling as she continued, "Initially, I didn't expect to encounter such a monstrous student with S rank potential. But today, meeting you, I feel a glimmer of hope again. Little genius, do you think you can reach S rank?"
"Teacher, you'll find out soon enough," Lu Yunxiao shrugged, smiling.
"Well, looking at you, you seem quite confident," Teacher Ruo Ling's gaze flashed slightly. Lu Yunxiao's calm demeanor made her certain; it seemed highly likely they had encountered an S rank prodigy today.
"Maybe," Lu Yunxiao said calmly.
"Hehe, what an interesting little genius you are," Teacher Ruo Ling chuckled. With a wave of her hand, a green parchment scroll and ink brush appeared.
"Alright, let's begin. Start from the left and state your name, rank, and age," Teacher Ruo Ling said with a smile.
As she spoke, the student at the front left reported their data.
"Lin Feng, Eight-stage Dou Zhi Qi, nineteen years old."
"F rank," Teacher Ruo Ling noted down the data and marked it with an F.
"Li Hang, Eight-stage Dou Zhi Qi, nineteen years old."
"F rank."
"Zhao De, Nine-stage Dou Zhi Qi, nineteen years old."
"E rank!"
...
Numerous students reported their data, most of them at the E and F ranks, all around nineteen years old.
Only one student reached D-rank, which made Teacher Ruo Ling briefly happy. After all, in a small place like Rock Desert City, having a D-rank student was already impressive.
As for B and A ranks, there were none.
After more than ten students reported their data, almost everyone's gaze focused on Lu Yunxiao, who hadn't reported his data yet.
Being able to easily defeat a Four-star Dou Zhe like Zhang Yuan indicated that Lu Yunxiao had at least the strength of a Four-star Dou Zhe, meaning he should be evaluated as an A-rank at least.
Moreover, there was a possibility he could be an S-rank, as winning so effortlessly against a Five-star Dou Zhe was also reasonable.
However, until Lu Yunxiao announced his strength, everyone's thoughts were mere speculation, and they were all curious about Lu Yunxiao's true strength.
"Little genius, it's your turn. It's time for you to reveal your secret," Teacher Ruo Ling looked at Lu Yunxiao, smiling gently.
At her words, Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly. He glanced around at the curious crowd and calmly spoke, "Lu Yunxiao, Six-star Dou Zhe, fourteen years old!"
As soon as the words fell, the tent fell into a deathly silence. Teacher Ruo Ling, who was preparing to record with a pen, froze, and a look of shock appeared on her pretty face.
Others also couldn't help but slightly open their mouths, staring blankly at Lu Yunxiao.
"A Six-star Dou Zhe, surpassing S-rank potential, one rank higher than the little genius girl, and only fourteen years old."
Teacher Ruo Ling struggled to speak, but her eyes were filled with hard-to-hide excitement. This time, she had truly struck gold.
"Teacher, you're asking as if I'm not already fourteen. I'm not a toddler; isn't it normal to understand these things?" Lu Yunxiao shrugged, his tone calm.
"Oh? Is that so? Since that's the case, does our little genius have a crush on anyone?" Teacher Ruo Ling asked with a playful smile.
