Chapter 11: Ning Tian, Wu Feng
Undoubtedly, the two girls who were processing their applications turned their heads at the sound.
Bei Bei's old face flushed. He quickly pulled Tang Ya, stepped half a pace forward, and apologized gently,
"Excuse us, junior sisters. Xiao Ya is a bit blunt by nature, she means no harm."
The two girls, drawn by Tang Ya's exclamation, were indeed exceptionally beautiful, with vastly different temperaments, yet both could be described as peerless beauties.
The one on the left was tall and slender, with long, platinum-blonde hair that seemed to shimmer with moonlight. Her features were exquisitely delicate, her skin as fair as snow, and her clear eyes were like the finest glazed tiles, pure and translucent.
Facing Bei Bei's apology, she shook her head slightly, revealing a polite, faint smile, and her voice was soft and pleasant,
"Senior, please don't mind it. It's alright."
The one on the right had fiery red, wavy long hair. Her figure was astonishingly curvaceous, and her tight-fitting outfit outlined an agile, explosive physique.
Her face was equally beautiful, but it carried a wild, untamed cold allure.
Her expression was rather indifferent. She merely glanced at Tang Ya and Bei Bei with her sharp eyes, not uttering a sound.
Platinum-blonde hair, gentle and noble; fiery red hair, cold and striking... Could it be Ning Tian and Wu Feng of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?
Lin Xuan's gaze swept over them. Combining their features with his memories from the original work, he immediately made a judgment.
At this moment, the girl with platinum-blonde hair had already handed her recommendation letter to the senior in charge of registration.
The envelope was quite special; it wasn't ordinary paper, and nine different subtle glows faintly flowed across its surface, clearly indicating its extraordinary origin.
"Nine-Colored Flowing Light... Is it the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?!"
Bei Bei whispered softly.
As the most renowned support system Sect on the continent, the recommendation letters of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's core disciples were naturally unique.
The senior in charge of registration evidently recognized it as well. His attitude became more serious, and after careful verification, he began to register the two of them.
After Ning Tian finished registering, she and Wu Feng did not leave immediately. Instead, they stepped back slightly and turned to Tang Ya and the others, introducing themselves proactively,
"Hello, seniors. My name is Ning Tian, and this is Wu Feng. We are new students this year."
"Hello, Junior Sister Ning Tian! Hello, Junior Sister Wu Feng!"
Tang Ya immediately regained her liveliness, responding enthusiastically with a bright smile on her face,
"My name is Tang Ya, this is Bei Bei, oh, and this is Yu Hao. We are all from the Tang Sect! Speaking of which, the Tang Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School have deep roots; ten thousand years ago, the two families were the closest comrades-in-arms. You could say we're all one family!"
Hearing Tang Ya's enthusiastic words, almost akin to 'claiming kinship,' Lin Xuan kept his eyes downcast and his expression as calm as possible.
He suddenly understood how Bei Bei felt when he apologized for Tang Ya earlier.
Awkward, truly awkward.
Bei Bei was clearly also a bit embarrassed. He lightly coughed, trying to change the subject.
Ning Tian, however, had excellent self-restraint. Hearing this, she merely smiled politely, not picking up on the 'one family' remark, and said gently,
"The Tang Sect has a long and revered history. Are you seniors also here to register for enrollment? We won't bother you then."
As she spoke, she gracefully turned sideways, indicating that it was Lin Xuan's turn.
Bei Bei quickly pushed Huo Yuhao, "Yu Hao, you go first."
Huo Yuhao nodded, somewhat nervously stepping forward.
On the other side, Wu Feng frowned, seeing that Ning Tian had no intention of leaving immediately, and whispered,
"Young Master, what's wrong? Aren't we leaving? What's so interesting about these people?"
Ning Tian gently shook her head, her voice still soft,
"Wu Feng, I told you, just call me Ning Tian when we're outside."
She paused, her gaze subtly drifting towards Lin Xuan, who was quietly waiting nearby with a calm expression, but she said nothing.
As for why she stayed... her intuition told her that the black-haired young man was somewhat unusual.
Besides the world's number one support system Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was most renowned for its unparalleled ability to 'Identify Treasures.'
After Ning Fengzhi ten thousand years ago, this 'treasure' no longer solely referred to wealth but also included 'talent.'
As the heir to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Tian's discernment was even sharper.
Although Lin Xuan merely stood there quietly, his Soul Power restrained, and his attire ordinary, the indescribable calm demeanor about him, and his unfathomably deep eyes, made an unusual feeling rise in Ning Tian's heart.
Her intuition rarely erred, and even if she misjudged this time, it would only be a few minutes' delay.
Hearing this, Wu Feng followed Ning Tian's gaze to Lin Xuan.
The young man was tall and straight, with an exceptionally handsome face. Even to her critical eye, his appearance was flawless.
But it was this outstanding appearance, coupled with Ning Tian's inexplicable attention, that instantly set off alarm bells in Wu Feng's heart. Her face involuntarily darkened, and her gaze towards Lin Xuan became undisguisedly cold and hostile.
Lin Xuan slightly frowned, sensing Wu Feng's hostile gaze, and felt a bit displeased.
What's wrong with this Wu Feng? I haven't even said a single word to her master, so why is she staring at me like a chicken feather? Did she take the wrong medicine?
He was already annoyed about not encountering Electrolux, and now he was inexplicably being glared at. The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the angrier he got.
He slightly turned his head, meeting Wu Feng's icy gaze, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, that cold glint seemed to materialize, transforming into a silver slash that silently 'cut' through Wu Feng's body in an instant.
Wu Feng, who was staring intently at Lin Xuan, was caught off guard. She felt an indescribably terrifying chill instantly seize her heart.
It was as if she was being stared at by an invisible fierce beast, or as if a cold, sharp blade hung above her brow!
She let out a muffled groan, her face slightly pale, and her feet uncontrollably 'thump-thumped' backward two steps before she steadied herself.
When she looked at Lin Xuan again, she saw that he had already turned his head back to face forward, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
"Wu Feng, what's wrong?" Ning Tian noticed her abnormality and asked with concern.
Wu Feng's expression changed. How was she supposed to answer? Say that she was scared away by a glance from the other party? That would be too humiliating, and besides, no one would probably believe it.
For the sake of her pride, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to appear calm,
"N-nothing, I just... I just didn't stand steady for a moment."
Ning Tian glanced thoughtfully at Lin Xuan, who remained calm and composed, and asked no further questions.
Just then, Huo Yuhao's test was over.
The senior in charge of registration announced the result: "Eleven levels of Soul Power." His voice was calm, but it still drew varied gazes from some of the new students nearby.
Huo Yuhao lowered his head, silently accepted his registration certificate and dormitory key, and retreated to the side.
"Lin Xuan, it's your turn."
Bei Bei's voice rang out.
Lin Xuan collected his thoughts, no longer paying attention to Wu Feng, and stepped forward.
When he stood before the registration desk, almost everyone's eyes around him involuntarily converged on him.
"Thank you, seniors."
Lin Xuan smiled as he handed over his recommendation letter. His gentle smile, coupled with his exceptionally handsome appearance, frequently drew the attention of the senior sister opposite him.
"No trouble, no trouble at all!"
A second-year female student stepped forward and quickly snatched the recommendation letter, immediately opening it to read.
A moment later, the female student, having obtained the initial information, nodded in satisfaction, then took out a crystal ball for testing Soul Power.
"Junior Lin Xuan, this crystal ball's testing limit is thirty levels. This means that as long as half of the crystal ball lights up, it's considered passing."
Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, placing his hand on the crystal ball. His Soul Power surged into it, and in an instant, the crystal ball glowed brightly, shining extraordinarily like a diamond.
"F-filled up?" The female student was dumbfounded.
"Wait, this is a thirty-level crystal ball, which means..." Bei Bei muttered softly.
"Thirty levels?! No! It's at least thirty levels!" Tang Ya suddenly exclaimed.
"He's actually a Soul Elder..."
Wu Feng couldn't help but murmur softly as she looked at Lin Xuan's profile. She hadn't expected his Soul Power level to be so high; he was actually a Soul Elder at eleven years old, just like Ning Tian.
"Wu Feng, let's go."
Ning Tian, who had been quietly observing, saw a flicker of unusual brilliance in her eyes the moment the crystal ball fully lit up, then turned around without hesitation.
She had just arrived at Shrek and already encountered a genius... He seemed to come from an ordinary background, not a disciple of other Sects or forces... Over thirty levels of Soul Power at eleven years old indicates that his Martial Soul quality is also not low. To cultivate to such a degree without sufficient resource allocation, perhaps his Martial Soul quality is even above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... In just a short while, Ning Tian had already analyzed a lot of information about Lin Xuan from his appearance.
This was a capability that the disciples of their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had to cultivate from a young age. After all, as a support system Sect, they only had one path to possessing powerful combat strength.
Invest in, win over, and cultivate external geniuses.
And now, this young man named Lin Xuan, from every angle, perfectly met the criteria for a 'potential stock,' perhaps even a'super potential stock.'
