27: Chapter 27 The Hidden Genius Li Xuewei

Han Ming came out of the Cultivate room, feeling exceptionally refreshed.

Wind-Thunder Palm was mastered, its power far exceeding expectations.

The palm print left on the bluestone required at least the strength of a Martial Master to achieve.

Yet he was only a One-Star Martial Artist.

"Is this the power of a Profound Rank High Grade Martial Skill?" Han Ming muttered to himself, the smile at the corners of his mouth impossible to suppress.

Returning to the classroom, those few female students surrounded him again.

"Han Ming, you've finally returned! Where were we just now?"

"Go, go, go, don't you need to Cultivate? I'm not lecturing today."

After Han Ming waved his hand to dismiss the few disappointed-looking female students, he walked straight up to Wang Chong and said:

"Wang Chong, help me look someone up."

Wang Chong immediately perked up: "Young Master Han, tell me, who are we looking for?"

"Li Xuewei, she's from our school, I don't know which class exactly. Help me ask around."

"Li Xuewei? The name sounds unfamiliar, she shouldn't be anyone significant. Young Master Han, why are you looking for her?"

Wang Chong scratched his head and asked in confusion.

Han Ming glanced at him: "Just do as I say, why so much nonsense?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Chong nodded quickly, patting his chest to guarantee, "Young Master Han, rest assured, at most an hour, I will definitely find out for you!"

Han Ming nodded and turned to walk out of the classroom.

Wang Chong's efficiency was indeed high.

Less than an hour later, he returned with the news.

"Young Master Han, I found it!" Wang Chong panted as he ran to Han Ming, "Li Xuewei, Grade 12 Class 6, blood qi value of 137, D-Rank Talent, ranked in the middle to lower tier in her class, her parents are both ordinary Martial Artists."

Han Ming nodded.

A blood qi of 137 was indeed very ordinary.

It wouldn't even rank in a bottom-tier school like Third Martial Arts High School.

But Han Ming knew that this seemingly ordinary girl hid a Treasure Trove within her.

In the original story, on the day of the martial arts college entrance exam, Li Xuewei accidentally awakened a special Physique, the Mystic Ice Spirit Body.

Once this Physique was awakened, her speed to Cultivate would skyrocket by more than tenfold.

On the day of the exam, she Breakthrough directly from over a hundred in blood qi to an Eight-Star Martial Apprentice, and was immediately spotted by a mentor from Modu Martial Arts University who took her as a Disciple.

Modu Martial Arts University was one of the top martial arts universities in the Alliance.

It was said that several vice-principals were powerhouses at the Martial Venerable level, and the principal was an existence at the Martial Saint level.

Students graduating from Modu Martial Arts University, even the worst, had the strength of a Great Martial Master, while the outstanding ones could even reach the Martial King Realm.

If he could take advantage of the fact that she hadn't awakened yet and bind her...

The corners of Han Ming's mouth curled up slightly.

This was something he had remembered in the past two days; he had almost forgotten about the hidden Genius, Li Xuewei.

"Let's go, to Class 6."

In the Class 6 classroom, Li Xuewei was sitting in the last row reading a book.

She was delicate and pretty, with a simple ponytail, wearing a school uniform that had washed out to a pale color.

Among a group of bright and fashionable classmates, she seemed particularly inconspicuous.

A blood qi of 137, D-Rank Talent, ranked in the middle to lower tier in the class.

"Li Xuewei, someone is looking for you outside!"

A classmate at the door shouted, their tone carrying a hint of gossip.

Li Xuewei raised her head and looked toward the door, following the sound.

But when she saw the person standing at the door, she froze.

She hadn't expected the person coming to find her to be him.

Could there be a mistake?

Was he not looking for her?

Han Ming!

He was now the talk of the school; formerly a playboy, now a Genius.

Li Xuewei's heart rate suddenly accelerated.

"He... why is he looking for me?"

Other students in the class also noticed Han Ming at the door, and the room immediately erupted into chaos.

"Holy crap! Why is Han Ming here?"

"He's looking for Li Xuewei? Do they know each other?"

"Li Xuewei is so ordinary, what could Han Ming want with her?"

"Who knows, maybe..."

The discussions rose and fell, all sorts of guesses flying everywhere.

Li Xuewei blushed, stood up flustered, and walked to the door with her head lowered, not daring to look directly at Han Ming, nervously whispering:

"Han... Student Han Ming, are you looking for me?"

Han Ming looked her over.

To tell the truth, Li Xuewei was indeed quite pretty, delicate and charming; in his past life, she would count as a little beauty.

But in the martial arts world, strength was the foundation.

Without strength, no one cared about a pretty face.

"Come out with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

After Han Ming finished speaking, he turned and left.

Li Xuewei froze for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

Behind them, the discussions among the Class 6 students grew even louder.

"Could Han Ming have taken a fancy to Li Xuewei?"

"No way, right? Didn't he used to like Su Wanning?"

"Who knows, men, it's normal for them to change their hearts quickly."

"Li Xuewei is lucky this time. Although the Han Family is only a third-rate Family, to her, they are already out of reach."

Li Xuewei followed behind Han Ming, listening to these discussions, her face turning even redder.

She was both nervous and expectant inside.

"Why is Han Ming looking for me? Could it be that he really..."

She secretly glanced at Han Ming's back, her heart beating even faster.

Han Ming didn't care about the surrounding discussions and took Li Xuewei to an empty corner at the edge of the playground.

It was very quiet here, with no one else around.

Li Xuewei stood in front of Han Ming, her hands twisting together uneasily, head lowered, not daring to look at him.

"Student Han Ming, is there something you need me for?"

Han Ming looked at her and got straight to the point: "Li Xuewei, I want to take you as a Disciple."

Li Xuewei suddenly raised her head, thinking she had misheard.

"Wh... what?"

"I said, I want to take you as a Disciple. As long as you are willing to apprentice under me, I can pass on the Yellow Rank High Grade Movement Skill, Wind Shadow Step, that I Cultivate, and also give you twenty rank 2 blood vitality pill."

Han Ming repeated it once more.

Li Xuewei was completely stunned.

Take a Disciple?

Han Ming wanted to take her as a Disciple?

Everyone was the same age, and right now Han Ming was only a Martial Apprentice!

On what grounds could he take a Disciple?

And she was only a D-Rank Ice Talent, an ordinary person with a blood qi value of over a hundred; why did Han Ming want to take her as a Disciple?

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Li Xuewei's mind.

"Student Han Ming, you... you aren't joking, are you?"

Li Xuewei came back to her senses and asked, looking at Han Ming in confusion.

A Yellow Rank High Grade movement skill was extremely precious; even ten million might not be enough to buy one.

Just by apprenticing, Han Ming would pass it on to her?

For a moment, Li Xuewei felt a bit chaotic inside; she had thought Han Ming liked her!

She hadn't expected that he actually wanted to take her as a Disciple.

Did he have some strange hobby?

Thinking of this, she gave Han Ming a strange look.

"I never joke. This is the Yellow Rank High Grade Martial Skill, 'Wind Shadow Step', and also twenty rank 2 blood vitality pill."

"As long as you apprentice under me, these things will be yours."

Han Ming didn't know what Li Xuewei was thinking; he pulled a hand-copied Martial Skill manual and a porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed them to Li Xuewei, saying.

Li Xuewei looked at the Martial Skill and Medicinal Pills Han Ming handed over, standing frozen in place, her mind buzzing.

Yellow Rank High Grade Martial Skill.

Twenty rank 2 blood vitality pill.

These two things added together were worth at least ten million.

It was enough for an ordinary Family's Martial Artist to use for several years.

And Han Ming's requirement was just to apprentice under him?

She had seen Han Ming use Wind Shadow Step during the competition, and it was indeed very powerful.

She was tempted, but—

"Student Han Ming, this... this is too valuable, I cannot accept it."

Li Xuewei took a step back and waved her hands repeatedly.

Although her Family background was ordinary, she knew that pies didn't fall from the sky.

Han Ming was suddenly so good to her; there must be some motive.

Han Ming saw her hesitation, smiled, and said: "Rest assured, I don't have any other meaning. I just feel that you have potential and want to give you a hand."

"Potential? I'm a D-Rank Talent, my blood qi is only 137, what potential could I have?"

Li Xuewei saw the sincerity in Han Ming's eyes and gave a bitter smile.

"I say you have it, so you have it. Believe me, your talent is far more than D-Rank."

Han Ming looked into Li Xuewei's eyes and said with certainty.

There was no help for it; who told this girl not to get it?

She wasn't even tempted by a Yellow Rank High Grade Martial Skill; he couldn't exactly force her to kowtow and apprentice!

His strength was still too low!

He had absolutely no persuasive power.

Li Xuewei raised her head and met Han Ming's serious eyes.

His gaze was very calm, without teasing, without mockery, only a kind of certainty that made one inexplicably convinced.

A strange feeling surged in her heart.

From childhood to now, no one had ever said such things to her.

Thus, as if possessed, she nodded and said: "Okay, I am willing to apprentice under you. I will definitely work hard to Cultivate and not let you down."
