13: Finish

Then, the teachers came to a realization.

They were puzzled before; they could understand Luo Jiang Academy sending someone to a small place like Linhai County, but it made no sense for the Azure Dragon Academy, a Holy Land of cultivation, to send someone there.

Until this moment, they realized Lin Tao had come for his own sister.

Jiang Peng felt the same; he looked at Lin Tao, then at Lin Yuhan, and said dumbfoundedly, "Is she your sister?"

"Your sister..."

"Your sister?"

Lin Tao: "Huh? Why are you cursing?"

Jiang Peng said, "I'm not cursing, I'm just surprised. Ask them yourself—do you and your sister look alike?"

Everyone looked closely. Lin Tao was big and brawny; standing next to Lin Yuhan, calling them Beauty and the Beast would be a compliment to Lin Tao.

Lin Tao got angry, "Genuine siblings, guaranteed."

"Then your parents were really biased."

"Jiang Peng, are you looking for a fight?"

Jiang Peng shrugged.

"Humph!"

Lin Tao snorted and turned to Xiao Weiqing, "Interested in joining Azure Dragon Academy? Even though you're not Level 4, with a Level 3 True Art, I can represent Azure Dragon Academy to specially recruit you."

"Scram, Lin Tao! Trying to steal my guy? Don't make us have a go at each other." Jiang Peng was furious; Lin Tao was acting like he didn't exist.

"Jiang Peng, you should know that Luo Jiang Academy is currently at the bottom of the Eight Great Academies. You have no advantage against Azure Dragon Academy."

Jiang Peng fell silent. It was an indisputable fact. Few on Planet Blue could compete with Azure Dragon Academy; even the top few of the Eight Great Academies couldn't, let alone Luo Jiang Academy.

"Forget it, let him choose for himself." Jiang Peng wanted to speak up to keep Xiao Weiqing, but after thinking it over, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Lin Yuhan also looked at Xiao Weiqing expectantly upon hearing this.

Lin Tao added, "Xiao Weiqing, let me tell you about Azure Dragon Academy; the outside world usually doesn't have access to this information."

"Thank you, Senior Lin, but there's no need. I already promised Senior Jiang that if I were lucky enough to obtain a decent Extraordinary Talent, I would join Luo Jiang Academy. A man is nothing without his word."

Jiang Peng's eyes lit up, thinking even more highly of Xiao Weiqing.

"Won't you hear me out? If you miss Azure Dragon Academy, you really miss out. The gap between Azure Dragon Academy and Luo Jiang Academy is even larger than the gap between Luo Jiang Academy and an ordinary Supernatural University," Lin Tao continued.

The recruitment teachers: "..."

They cursed inwardly. What a piece of work this Azure Dragon Academy was! Using such a comparison? How rude.

"Thank you, Senior Lin, but still no. It wouldn't be good if I listened; it might shake my Dao Heart."

Xiao Weiqing still shook his head, making a joke.

Lin Tao nodded, "Not bad, quite interesting."

He had invited him once for the sake of the True Art, and a second time for his sister—he could tell his sister's gaze toward Xiao Weiqing was unusual—but Lin Tao wouldn't invite him a third time.

Dozens of examinees nearby looked at the crowd centered around Xiao Weiqing with envy. The Awakening was over, and most of their fates were decided.

Circles had formed abruptly; they were no longer on the same level as those with Level 3 'Arts'.

The Awakening was nearing its end.

No more Level 3 Extraordinary Talents appeared among the remaining hundreds of examinees.

Even so.

Li Sheng was very satisfied. Compared to last year, this year was a bumper harvest.

There were eleven Level 3 Extraordinary Talents in total, with three Level 3 'Arts', not to mention Wei Lan and Lin Yuhan, who had a Level 4 'Art'.

He hardly dared to imagine the resources Luo Jiang Prefecture would give Linhai County next year. Awakening was truly a matter of heaven or Hell in a single thought—not just for the examinees, but for them as well.

"The year 2122, Linhai County, the Great Supernatural Exam has ended."

The wormhole in the sky began to slowly disappear, and all students started to gather.

Seeing the Awakening ceremony finish, Lin Tao said:

"Then, teachers, I'll take my leave."

"Little sister, let's go."

An aircraft shaped like a goose egg flew from the horizon and stopped a hundred meters away from the God-Bestowal Platform.

Lin Yuhan's beautiful eyes flickered as she said to Xiao Weiqing, "Until we meet again, if fate allows."

"Until we meet again."

Then Lin Tao took Lin Yuhan, stepped out, crossed a hundred meters in one stride, and entered the aircraft.

"Wow!"

"A superman!"

The newly awakened quasi-supernatural students marveled.

"Tsk, show-off."

Jiang Peng didn't care.

"Teachers, I'm leaving too."

With a wave of his hand, the sword behind his back flew out instantly and stopped in front of him. Then he pulled Wei Lan onto the Flying Sword.

"Heavens, this one is even more ridiculous."

"A Flying Sword?"

"Damn, a cultivator!"

"So cool, sword-kinesis flight!"

Jiang Peng was satisfied with the reaction. "Xiao Weiqing, Zhang Dawei, I'll pick you up at school tomorrow morning."

After speaking, he stepped onto the Flying Sword and took Wei Lan into an aircraft. It looked basically the same as Lin Tao's but was a bit smaller.

In the sky.

Lin Tao's aircraft hadn't flown away yet.

Two figures watched the scene below through the window.

"Show-off."

Lin Tao said resentfully.

He knew Jiang Peng's strength well. Don't look at how it was only a few hundred meters; sword-kinesis flight was definitely not easy, especially when carrying someone.

One must know that Jiang Peng's Extraordinary Talent was a 'Technique', not an 'Art', nor was it Telekinesis.

"Little sister, do you like that Xiao Weiqing?"

Hearing Lin Tao's question.

Lin Yuhan withdrew her gaze and said frankly, "I wouldn't say I like him, but I have some good feelings. In these three years, he's the only one I could really talk to."

Lin Tao nodded. Pity; in high school, such sentiments often came to nothing.

Thinking back to those years, he was also a dashing young man who charmed thousands of girls. Now, sigh... He rubbed his bald head. Best not to mention it, best not to mention it... On the other side.

Jiang Peng took Wei Lan into the aircraft.

"Wei Lan, quick, get down, get down, I can't take it anymore."

Wei Lan jumped down with a smile, "Why show off if you can't handle it?"

Jiang Peng panted slightly, put away his Flying Sword, and lay on the sofa. "Hmph, can't let that brute show me up."

"Cousin, are we going to Luo Jiang Academy tomorrow?"

Jiang Peng said seriously, "Yes, the Eight Great Academies don't have holidays. We need to hurry. I'll help with your matter, don't worry. Once we're at the academy, Cultivate well and do whatever you like."

Wei Lan gave a sweet smile, "It's fine, I've been very happy lately."

Jiang Peng looked at the girl's face, not knowing if she was being sincere. "Sigh..."

"Wei Lan, tell me honestly, do you like Xiao Weiqing?"

"Yes."

"What do you like about him? You've only known him for a few days, right?"

"He's good-looking."

Jiang Peng: "..."

"Hee-hee, and also I feel he's special, a feeling I can't put into words."

"A pity. If only he had a Level 6 Extraordinary Talent." Jiang Peng shook his head, tossing such delusions aside. A Level 6 Art—hardly a few appeared in the entire Great Xia in a year.

On the God-Bestowal Platform.

Examinees gathered one after another, most of them looking despondent, like prisoners who had been sentenced.

Students from Class 12 of Linhai No. 2 Middle School finished gathering and entered the suspended train, preparing to return.

Xiao Weiqing and Zhang Dawei became the center of Class 12, surrounded by everyone.

Zhang Dawei was showing off his newly acquired Extraordinary Talent.

He took out a bottle of water and controlled the flow; several water spheres spun between his palms and the air without falling.

"Xiao Weiqing, where's your Samadhi True Fire? Show it to us."

Xiao Weiqing shook his head and declined, "The space is too small; playing with fire isn't a good idea."

"What about Yan Hao? Didn't he get a Level 2 'Spirit', Telekinesis?"

Xiao Weiqing unhesitatingly pulled Yan Hao out to take the heat.

A classmate laughed, "Over there."

Yan Hao was lying on a seat, his face pale, looking like he was about to pass out.

"What happened to him?"

"What else?"

"Showing off."

It turned out Yan Hao was so happy he went crazy after getting Telekinesis and immediately used his unskilled Object Control. But reality was reality; with just a few bottles of water, in less than a few seconds, he almost drained his Mental Energy.

Xiao Weiqing shook his head helplessly. In fact, he also couldn't wait to find a place with no one around to try it out; he was just suppressing the urge.
