The argument was quite loud, and everyone standing under the college gate noticed what was happening, especially Dean Guo, who was there to wait for Xu Yuehuai to finish the assessment so he could leave with his people.
Ding He frowned and scolded, "Yu'er, how can you still not understand! Senior Shi Zhi said that he was never our senior brother. The senior brother is Jin Nan. Get that straight! He has never studied anything in the sect. He became our senior brother only because he owed our master a favor!"
Jin Nan clenched his fists and placed them at his sides. He had been shrouded in darkness, but seeing Ding He's approval of him, he suddenly understood something.
The crowd was buzzing with gossip about the three of them. Ding He felt ashamed and refused to speak to Yu Er any longer.
"Look at them, the person in question hasn't even spoken yet, but they're already arguing about right and wrong."
"That's normal. Isn't this the kind of method these weak, small sects use to try and rise to the top?"
"They also said they knew Shi Zhiyu and Xu Yuehuai, who were the top two in this competition. If they really knew these two big shots, how could they not be amazing?"
Ji Yuanchi couldn't stand anyone slandering Xu Yuehuai. She walked to Yu Er's side. She was dressed gently, especially with the two braids on her head, which made her look playful and cute. But at this moment, Ji Yuanchi's eyes were intimidating, and her tone was several degrees colder than usual. "This... young lady, if you have any dissatisfaction with Miss Xu, you can fight me."
Yu Er was still angry and didn't understand what she meant. "Why? And who are you?"
"If you can't beat me, and then say anything bad about Miss Xu again, don't blame the Pu family for taking action against you. If I hear it, I will issue a kill order against you." Ji Yuanchi spoke calmly and slowly, exuding an aura of unapproachability.
Yu Er's pupils trembled slightly.
The Pu family! It's actually the Pu family!
Yu Er's eyes were filled with resentment, but what could she do? She was no match for the Pu family.
Dean Guo and the others also came down. He had heard about this from others. He looked at the pillar of light, put some spiritual energy into it, and found that the pillar of light had not changed. "This pillar of light is broken. Let's get a new one."
Ji Yuanchi returned to Xu Yuehuai's side, and once again became that innocent and adorable little rabbit.
A warm feeling welled up in Xu Yuehuai's heart. This was one of the few people who had shown her kindness since she came to this world. Xu Yuehuai felt that most of this kindness was because he was her savior.
The disciple in charge immediately took out an identical one from his spatial ring. Seeing this, Dean Guo tried it himself first. The light of the spiritual energy pillar went straight to the top. After testing the pillar and finding no problems, he said to Xu Yuehuai, "Alright, try it again."
Those around him exclaimed, "No wonder he's the dean! His talent level is maxed out!"
"I've long heard that Dean Guo is a rare genius alchemist, and today I've finally witnessed it for myself."
Following the same procedure as before, Xu Yuehuai placed her hand on it again and infused it with spiritual energy. Only a faint light flashed across the spiritual energy pillar, and then nothing else appeared.
Xu Yuehuai lowered her hand and looked at it with some doubt. Surely she couldn't be so bad as to have no talent at all? But she didn't feel that her cultivation was that difficult!
Dean Guo frowned in confusion. He placed his hand on the pillar again and channeled spiritual energy into it, but the pillar of spiritual energy did not react at all.
The disciple in charge of registration had been watching this side. Seeing this, he asked in confusion, "Eh? What's going on? It was working fine just now, why did it break as soon as Xu Yuehuai used it?"
"Yeah, what exactly happened? Could it be that Xu Yuehuai's talent is too low and he took the opportunity to launch an attack while injecting spiritual power, causing the spiritual power pillar to break?" the person standing next to that person guessed.
Dean Guo sneered and said, "This spiritual energy pillar, let alone her, even if I came, would not be an easy thing to destroy."
Dean Guo suddenly guessed something and asked the man to bring out another spirit pillar. He first tested it to see if it was broken, and then asked Xu Yuehuai to come over. It still didn't light up. He tested it again and found that his was also not lit up.
After trying this several times, Xu Yuehuai was getting numb. Dean Guo finally stopped, but he couldn't hide his excitement. "Great! Great! Little Xu! You have to promise me first! You can't go back on your word and become my apprentice!"
Xu Yuehuai didn't understand, but she nodded nonetheless.
Those around him looked at Dean Guo with confusion.
Dean Guo faced the crowd, looking up at those who were looking up at him, and cleared his throat, saying, "Xu Yuehuai's talent value is beyond talent!"
"What does Dean Guo mean by this? I've never heard of any super talent before?"
"I don't know. His behavior just now was also strange. Xu Yuehuai can never detect it, yet he was still speaking up for Xu Yuehuai. Could there be something between the two of them?"
"I advise you not to talk nonsense. Dean Guo is backed by the Guo family, and Dean Guo himself is a person of high moral character. How could he do such a despicable thing!"
After a pause, Dean Guo continued to explain, "The reason why Xu couldn't be tested despite so many attempts is because her talent is too high, causing the spiritual energy pillar to shatter and break before it could even display its power."
"Really? She's that amazing?!"
"Judging from Dean Guo's demeanor, this doesn't seem like a hoax!" The crowd below murmured amongst themselves.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanchi was happy for Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai never expected that she would almost start to doubt her own abilities.
Now that the problem was solved, Xu Yuehuai moved on to test the next one.
Xu Yuehuai's spiritual power suddenly surged to become the highest among those present. "Did you all see that? She's incredibly powerful! No wonder she's won consecutive championships!"
"He's a genius, one in a century! How could I possibly be worthy of witnessing such a sight!"
The scene erupted in excitement.
Xu Yuehuai passed both tests, so according to the rules, she could choose not to participate in the third test. Therefore, when Quan Cang asked her, she went directly into Qingcheng Academy.
Ji Yuanchi was no exception. She was behind Xu Yuehuai. Her spiritual power and talent were not bad. If she were to release them normally, she would definitely be a shocking presence. But coincidentally, an even more monstrous Xu Yuehuai appeared in front of her, making Ji Yuanchi seem ordinary for a moment.
"Miss Ji seems alright, but compared to Xu Yuehuai, she's still a bit lacking."
