Chapter 25: Similar Things
The elder strode in from outside the courtyard and approached Ye Fei to examine her closely.
Ye Fei took a step back and bowed to the Grand Elder: "Greetings, Grand Elder. My name is Ye Fei, and the young man behind me is Li. We came to Lingfeng Academy together."
The First Elder pondered for a moment, his deep gaze falling on Ye Fei's face: "Surname Ye? Could it be that you come from the Ye clan, one of the eight great families?"
“Exactly.” Ye Fei smiled and met the First Elder’s gaze.
"Wait, you said your name is Ye Fei... Your name sounds familiar." The First Elder murmured, then looked at Huang Rongyu, "Rongyu, don't you feel like you've heard this name somewhere before?"
Before Huang Rongyu could reply, Ye Fei said righteously, "The Grand Elder must have heard my name from others. After all... I used to be the infamous Third Miss of the Ye Clan, a good-for-nothing with dual spiritual roots but unable to cultivate spiritual energy."
The First Elder frowned slightly upon hearing this, his face showing displeasure: "You're saying you're that useless Third Miss who can't cultivate spiritual energy? You dare to enter Lingfeng Academy if you can't cultivate? Is the Ye family playing with the reputation of Lingfeng Academy?"
Ye Fei shook her head: "The reason I was able to come to Lingfeng Academy today and submit my admission letter to you is naturally because I passed the family trial."
"If the Grand Elder does not believe me, he may allow me to take the entrance test."
Without hesitation, the elder took out a crystal ball from the storage ring on his finger: "In that case, you two take turns placing your hands on the crystal ball and concentrating your spirit to unleash your spiritual energy."
Ye Fei took the crystal ball and glanced at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan raised his eyes and said calmly, "You go first."
Ye Fei nodded, holding the crystal ball in one hand and placing the other hand above it. She closed her eyes and slowly activated the wood spirit root in her lower abdomen.
Strands of wood-elemental spiritual energy emanated from the girl. At the same time, she opened her spiritual space, and her abundant spiritual power intertwined with the wood-elemental spiritual energy. The transparent crystal ball in her hand turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The elder stroked his white beard and gazed at Ye Fei's profile for a long time. Just then, he heard a rustling sound behind him. He turned around and saw that the plants outside the courtyard were spreading rapidly toward Ye Fei!
Li Yuan stared at Ye Fei, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"W-What is this?!"
The Grand Elder's face was filled with shock. This little girl's wood-type spiritual energy could actually attract the plants that the Dean planted before his seclusion?!
Huang Rongyu was also surprised. He closed his eyes and sensed for a few seconds, then raised the corners of his lips: "So that's how it is."
"Rong Yu, what did you see?" the Grand Elder quickly asked.
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, Miss Ye's wood-elemental spiritual energy is mixed with a very rich spiritual power," Huang Rongyu replied. "If I'm not mistaken, she should also be born with full spiritual power, and be of the same kind as me."
"He actually possesses innate full spiritual power!" The Grand Elder clapped his hands excitedly. "I never imagined that our Spirit Wind Academy could produce another genius besides you, someone with dual spiritual roots and innate full spiritual power!"
Huang Rongyu smiled without saying a word, her gentle gaze falling on Ye Fei, a fleeting glint in her eyes.
Ye Fei opened her eyes and found herself surrounded by countless strange plants. She was a little stunned: What happened?
The elder coughed lightly, slightly suppressing the elation on his face: "Ahem! Girl, I have a question for you. Do you know that you have a dual spiritual root constitution and an innate full spiritual power constitution?"
“I understand.” Ye Fei nodded and said, “After I advanced to the second level of spiritual master when I was ten years old, I was no longer able to condense spiritual energy. A few days ago, I unexpectedly obtained some opportunities, which allowed me to cultivate spiritual energy again and open my spiritual space for the first time.”
