Chapter 102: The Most Frightening One

  The girl's gentle voice made the inside of the tent a dead silence, everyone's eyes were staring blankly at the blue-clothed girl standing beside Xiao Yan with a faint smile, who had just not yet awakened from the shock brought by Xiao Yan before, but was again hit hard on the head by an even heavier hammer.

  Six-star warrior... sixteen years old... This potential value seems to have already exceeded the limits of S-level, this talent is simply stronger than that witch in the academy by a fraction!

  He glanced at the silent tent, and Xiao Yan shook his head with a bitter smile. The actual data reported by Xun Er also exceeded his expectations. He had originally predicted that Xun Er would be around five-star level, but he didn't expect this girl to be so terrifying, her potential value actually surpassing S-level. This kind of abnormal cultivation speed made even him feel somewhat astonished.

  In the tent, hearing Xun Er's words, Xiao Yu was also stunned. In her family, she had never seen Xun Er take action, so she didn't know her strength either. Moreover, no one had ever told her about Xun Er's mysterious identity. In her eyes, Xun Er was just a young generation in the Xiao family with excellent talent, but she had never thought that this excellence would be to such an extent...

  "...That woman in the academy has finally met her match." Xiao Yu muttered to himself with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

  In the corner of the tent, Luo Bu and Ge Ruo stared at the green-clothed girl with a frightened expression on their faces. They thought of their previous bullying behavior and suddenly felt a chill run down their spines. In their hearts, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief that they hadn't really offended this beautiful girl earlier.

  However, fortunately for them, they did not know that at the time of provoking Xiao Yan, their impression in Xun Er's heart had suddenly reached the lowest point.

  The silence inside the tent lasted for a long time before everyone slowly came back to their senses. They exchanged glances with each other, all feeling somewhat heart-pounding.

  "Hmm, unexpected. I didn't think I'd encounter a new student with potential surpassing S-level. Hehe, looks like I'm really lucky." The shock on her face slowly subsided, and Yu Lin's eyes shone with an unusual light as she stared at Xun Er. After a moment, she smiled sweetly and said: "This time, among the new students of Jianan Academy... the most outstanding one is probably none other than Xun Er."

  When heard Yolanda's comment, Xun'er smiled slightly and unexpectedly shook her head.

  "Uh..." Yu Rou's actions left her stunned, and Ruo Lin blinked in confusion, hesitantly asking: "Could there be someone even more outstanding than you?"

  "Yes, Master Yulin." Xun'er nodded crisply, her autumn water eyes curving into a shallow crescent moon. She looked extremely cute: "Compared to him, Xun'er really doesn't count as anything."

  "Oh?" Her eyebrows rose slightly, becoming a six-star fighter at the age of sixteen was nothing in that person's eyes? Instructor Ruo Lin shook her head, although she didn't believe it, but still asked with some curiosity: "Who is he?"

  Xun Er's words made Xiao Yan feel uneasy, and indeed, after Yu Lin asked, Xun Er turned her head away with a smile. Her eyes sparkled with amusement as she gazed at Xiao Yan.

  The eyes in the tent moved with Xun Er's line of sight, and then all stopped on Xiao Yan who was helplessly spreading his hands.

  Looking in the direction of Xun Er's gaze, Ru Lin smiled and said: "Xun Er, Xiao Yan's innate talent is indeed extraordinary. His A-level potential value has already allowed him to rank among the top 100 new students at Jian Nan Academy. However...this seems to be no match for your strength."

  "Hey. That's right, Xun'er junior sister. His talent is pretty good, but compared to you, it still falls short." Lu Bo said with a bright smile from the corner.

  It's not just Luo Bu who has this idea, but almost everyone in the tent, except for a few people, is casting suspicious glances at Xiao Yan. After all, although A-level potential is very strong, Xun Er's talent, which has almost surpassed the S-level boundary, is even more powerful and absurd. There is still an unbridgeable gap between the two.

  Xun'er glanced at Luobo with a faint smile, but she was too lazy to bother with him. Her cold demeanor made Luobo, who had intended to build a relationship with her, feel somewhat embarrassed.

  Looking at Xun Er staring at Xiao Yan's actions, Ruolin Master slightly frowned, with a thoughtful gaze, shifted to Xiao Yan who had a helpless expression on his face, and softly laughed: "Could it be that Xiao Yan is still hiding something?"

  "Hey, Yu'er, what are they actually doing? Is it true that Xiao Yan is still hiding something, just like the instructor said?" The girls beside Xiao Yu in the tent asked curiously as they watched the scene.

  Xiao Yu did not respond, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and the emotions on her cheeks changed subtly. It wasn't until Xun Er mentioned this that she suddenly remembered, Xiao Yan... seemed to have had a three-year period of stagnant cultivation, during which his strength, due to some strange factors, not only failed to improve but instead declined further and further.

  And in just a year and a half, Xiao Yan seemed to have jumped from the Three-Stage Battle Qi to the Four-Star Warrior, with a terrifying cultivation speed that even Xun Er couldn't match.

  Recalling these things that were almost forgotten due to Xiao Yan's current strength, Xiao Yu slowly took a deep breath. Only now did she clearly understand just how terrifying the young man who usually liked to infuriate her until she was hopping mad really was...

  "It's not like it's a secret, my business, almost everyone in Wutian City knows something about it." Under the gaze of the crowd, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment before shrugging his shoulders and smiling indifferently.

  "Can you tell the instructor about it? Let the college clearly understand each student's potential value, which is beneficial for future cultivation. In this way, there is no harm to you."

  Gently putting down the brush, Instructor Yulin's jade-like hand supported her fragrant cheek, smiling brightly as she gazed at the slender and handsome young man below, her gentle voice was almost impossible for any man to resist.

  "Let me say it, Brother Xiao Yan doesn't like to mention the past." Xun'er smiled with a knowing glint in her eye as she gazed at Xiao Yan's slightly hesitant expression.

  "Hehe, okay." Tutor Youlin smiled and nodded slightly, her gaze at Xun'er had a few hints of interest. With Xun'er always protecting Xiao Yan like this, it was natural for Youlin to see some clues from her experience.

  Xun Er's actions now are undoubtedly showing off the thing she is most proud of in her heart, this thing that she carefully protects, does not allow anyone to have any bit of tarnish.

  "This little guy really has a lot of good fortune." With a lazy glance at Xiao Yan, Master Yu Lin smiled to herself.

  At this point, Xiao Yan could only helplessly nod his head.

  Xiao Yan nodded, and Xun'er smiled sweetly, slightly furrowing her brow as she sorted through her memories before slowly smiling: "Brother Xiao Yan started cultivating at the age of four."

  Listening to this first sentence, Yu Lin nodded slightly. The initial stage of Dou Zhan's aura is the most difficult to cultivate. Starting at four years old doesn't count as too early or too late.

  "The Ninth Stage of the Tenth Year's Fighting Spirit."

  The soft voice that followed made the people in the tent tremble, and the difficulty of cultivating the initial stage of Dou Qi was a well-known fact on the Dou Qi continent. Generally speaking, at the age of four, those with good talent would only reach the ninth stage of Dou Qi around fifteen years old. Those who were even more exceptional might reach it at thirteen or fourteen. But to reach the ninth stage of Dou Qi at just ten years old was a speed that was somewhat frightening.

  Eleven years old, promoted to a Dou Zhe. Upon hearing this, the crowd's gaze towards Xiao Yan became slightly strange, an eleven-year-old Dou Zhe... even in the Jian Nan Academy, there was no one who could compare.

  First and foremost, with Xun Er's words, Yu Lin Master's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a strange color flashed in her beautiful eyes.

  "Hmm...next..." At this point, Xun'er pursed her small mouth and said softly: "From twelve to fifteen years old, Brother Xiao Yan's cultivation dropped from a fighter...to third-grade Qi."

  "Hmm..." At the words, the whispers in the tent suddenly stopped, and most people's faces froze in shock.

  "Has the aura of the Three-Sectioned Staff returned?"

  This was almost a reversal of the situation, leaving Jolene's beautiful face with an expression of some astonishment. This turn of events made her feel as if she were listening to a story.

  With her jade hand covering her red lips, it was a good moment before Tutor Yu Lin came back to herself from this strange situation, and then asked: "What happened next?"

  Later, after spending three years in the hollow period of cultivation, Xiao Yan's brother regained his stunning talent. After the age of 15, within a year and a half, he rose from third-grade Dou Zhe to his current four-star Dou Zhe.

  With a slight smile, Xun Er said: "So now, Xiao Yan's strength is just the result of his one-and-a-half-year cultivation, while I have cultivated for sixteen years. Who is stronger or weaker can be seen at a glance."

  "Hiss..."

  As soon as Xun Er's words fell, the sound of inhaling cold air rose from within the tent, and the gazes that shot towards Xiao Yan were filled with astonishment at this terrifying innate talent.

  Luo Bu and Guan Yu, standing in the corner, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at each other, and saw a hint of horror and shock in each other's eyes.

  She narrowed her eyes, and Tutor Yu Lin slowly exhaled, then gently opened them again. Her beautiful eyes stared at the young man below, and she said softly: "I didn't expect that you, this silent little guy, would be the most terrifying one. If it weren't for Xun Er speaking up, you would have really escaped this time."
