233: Chapter 233 S-Talent Extreme Cold Domain

The entire testing plaza was shrouded in this terrifying wind pressure.

Dean of Academic Affairs in the front row felt his breath hitch as the roster in his hand was snatched away by the gale and slapped hard against his face.

Professor Wang's teacup fell to the ground with a "crack," shattering into pieces.

But he couldn't care less about his broken purple clay teapot.

He widened his eyes, staring intently at the line of golden characters appearing on the crystal stele.

[Talent Level: A+]

[Attribute: Wind Spirit (Mutated Elemental Type)]

[Evaluation: Darling of the Wind, a natural speed king!]

Dead silence.

The previously noisy plaza fell into a deathly silence at this moment.

Everyone stood with their mouths agape, staring blankly at the young girl on the stage enveloped in cyan light.

A+ Rank Talent!

And it was the extremely rare mutated Wind Spirit!

At Kyoto University, while S-Rank Talents exist, they are extremely rare, with only a dozen or so in each batch.

A-rank Talent is already considered the average level at Kyoto University.

And A+ rank is definitely considered an excellent level, the kind that ordinary instructors fight over.

Is this what Dean of Academic Affairs called trash?

If an A+ Talent is trash, then who isn't?

"This... how is this possible?"

The fat on Dean of Academic Affairs's face trembled violently.

He felt as if his face had been slapped hard by that soaring cyan light, burning with pain.

He had just been swearing that the equipment's sensitivity was high and could detect impurities.

But instead, she directly measured an A+!

"The equipment must be broken! It must be!"

Dean of Academic Affairs shouted incoherently, trying to salvage even a shred of face.

However, his voice seemed so pale and powerless amidst the still-howling wind.

Chu Yaoyao slowly retracted her hand.

The wind elements filling the sky dissipated instantly, as if they had never appeared.

She clapped her hands, looked at the dazed Dean of Academic Affairs, and revealed a sweet smile.

"Teacher, this grade is a pass, right? I shouldn't need to drop out, right?"

This blow was precise and fatal.

Below the stage, Professor Wang stood up abruptly.

The shock in his eyes had turned into fanaticism.

"Wind Spirit Body! It's actually a perfect Wind Spirit Body!"

"I want this student!"

"Don't anyone fight me for her! My copy of the 'Wind Control Art' happens to be missing a successor!"

Professor Wang completely ignored what Dean of Academic Affairs had just said, wishing he could rush up right now and snatch Chu Yaoyao back to his academy.

Meanwhile, in the corner of the plaza.

Qian Duoduo looked at the off-the-charts point data in his hand, his eyes squinting into slits from smiling.

"I'm rich, I'm rich!"

"Those who bet on her being trash are all wiped out!"

"This wave from Brother Fan is absolutely insane, he's winning big!"

Below the stage, the students who lost their points were ashen-faced, wailing everywhere.

But more people turned their gazes toward the other two who had yet to take the stage.

Since even this cutest-looking little girl was an A+ Rank Talent.

Then the remaining two...

Dean of Academic Affairs clearly realized this too.

He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to calm down.

"Don't... don't get cocky!"

"It was just luck! Wind types are prone to creating phenomena anyway!"

"Next! I don't believe everyone is a genius!"

Dean of Academic Affairs's voice was trembling, but he had no way out.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingxue slowly raised her head.

She didn't speak, just stepped onto the high platform with her long legs.

As she walked, the temperature of the surrounding air began to plummet at a terrifying speed.

Su Qingxue walked very slowly.

But with every step she took, a thin layer of frost would condense on the stone steps beneath her feet.

It wasn't ordinary ice, but a deep blue crystalline shape that refracted chilling rays under the sunlight.

If Chu Yaoyao's storm just now was wild and ostentatious.

Then what Su Qingxue was displaying right now was a kind of extreme restraint and suppression.

It was like an iceberg about to erupt.

The noise in the plaza had disappeared completely at some point.

Everyone unconsciously wrapped their clothes tighter around themselves.

It was clearly an early autumn afternoon with bright sunshine, yet they felt as if they had suddenly fallen into a deep winter ice hole.

That kind of cold didn't just affect the skin; it drilled directly into the gaps of their bones, freezing the flow of their blood.

"So... so cold..."

A student in the front row couldn't help but shiver, the breath he exhaled turning into a white mist.

Dean of Academic Affairs was the closest and felt it the most deeply.

Looking at Su Qingxue approaching step by step, he felt that what was walking towards him was not a female student, but an Ice Queen who had walked out of the extreme northern ice plains.

The aura of a superior made him, a Dean of Academic Affairs who had lived in comfort in an administrative position for many years, feel an urge to kneel and worship.

"You... what do you want?"

Dean of Academic Affairs's teeth chattered, unable to even speak a complete sentence properly.

Su Qingxue ignored him completely.

Her gaze remained calm as water, as if there was nothing in this world worthy of her attention except for that testing crystal stele.

She walked to the crystal stele.

Her hands, as perfect as pieces of art, were slowly raised.

She didn't cause the roar of heaven and earth phenomena like Chu Yaoyao.

Su Qingxue just gently placed her palm against the black surface of the stele.

"Crack."

A crisp cracking sound was particularly jarring in the silent plaza.

Immediately after.

A terrifying chill, indescribable in words, erupted instantly with Su Qingxue's palm as the center!

"Boom!"

This wasn't the sound of an explosion, but the compression sound made when the air was instantly frozen.

The ten-meter-tall testing crystal stele, the moment it touched Su Qingxue's true energy, didn't even have time to react before it turned into a giant ice sculpture!

The scale light beam that should have been displayed was now completely replaced by a dazzling ice-blue light.

The light was too intense, too fierce!

It even outshone the sun overhead!

But this was only the beginning.

The ice-blue light didn't stop at the crystal stele.

It seemed to have a life of its own, spreading crazily along the ground.

The testing platform...

Dean of Academic Affairs's desk...

The front-row professors' seats...

Even the ground of the entire plaza!

In just three seconds.

With the testing platform as the center, everything within a five-hundred-meter radius was covered by a thick layer of solid ice!

The originally black testing plaza instantly turned into a crystal-clear ice and snow world!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

The high-strength testing crystal stele, claimed to be a decommissioned item from the military, was now covered in dense cracks on its surface.

It seemed unable to withstand this terrifying power, emitting a groaning sound of being overwhelmed.

And on the stele body that was about to shatter, a line of characters radiating a piercing chill slowly appeared.

[Talent Level: S]

[Attribute: Extreme Cold Domain]

S-Rank!

And an S-Rank that had awakened a Domain!

The entire venue fell into a silence even more thorough than before.

If A+ Rank is a genius, then S-Rank is a monster; among Kyoto University students, only those in the top 50 of the rankings could reach S-Rank Talent.

Moreover, what Su Qingxue displayed was not just talent, but solid combat power.

Look at Dean of Academic Affairs, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture, maintaining an expression of terror.

Although he wasn't frozen to death directly, his whole body was stiff, his eyebrows and beard covered in ice shards, and even his eyeballs couldn't move.

If Su Qingxue had really intended to kill, Dean of Academic Affairs would already be a corpse.

Professor Wang was no longer shocked, but terrified.

He stood up from his chair, trembling, only to find his pants frozen to the chair.

"Rip!"

He didn't care that his pants were torn, rushing directly to the edge of the testing platform, yet he didn't dare to get too close.

"S-Rank... it's actually an S-Rank Extreme Cold Domain!"

"This kind of talent is a rare genius even among the direct descendants of the top families in Kyoto!"

"Lin Fan... where on earth did Lin Fan dig up such a monster?!"

Professor Wang's voice was shaking.

He suddenly realized how ridiculous and stupid his previous behavior of mocking Lin Fan for recruiting trash was.

Where is this trash?

This is clearly a future Valkyrie!

The old professors from the Ancient Martial Arts Academy looked at Su Qingxue at this moment like hungry wolves seeing a peerless delicacy.

"Quick! Call the Dean!"

"No matter the cost, we must poach her to our academy!"

"Tell the Dean, as long as she's willing to come, offer any scholarship! Use any resources!"

The plaza was in chaos.

And Su Qingxue, who was at the center of the storm, slowly retracted her hand.

With her movement, the suffocating chill around her subsided slightly.

She didn't even glance at Dean of Academic Affairs, who was frozen like a dog, but turned around, her gaze passing through the crowd and landing precisely on the rooftop of a teaching building in the distance.

There, a figure in casual clothes was leaning against the railing, holding a pair of binoculars.

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Su Qingxue's stunningly beautiful face, which was usually covered in frost all year round.

This smile.

It was as if the ice and snow melted, and a hundred flowers bloomed.

The boys on the plaza who were originally shivering from the cold felt their hearts skip a beat the moment they saw this smile.

"Holy crap! The Iceberg Goddess smiled!"

"So beautiful! I can't take it, I'm falling for her!"

"Who is she looking at? Who is so lucky?"

Following Su Qingxue's gaze, everyone looked in that direction.

When they saw that familiar figure, their originally adoring eyes instantly turned into despair and jealousy.

Lin Fan.

It's Lin Fan again!

This damn Shrewd Merchant, not only monopolized their points, but now he wants to monopolize their goddess too?!

On the rooftop.

Lin Fan put down the binoculars, looked at the gaze cast by Su Qingxue, and helplessly rubbed his nose.

"This girl, making such a big scene, she isn't even afraid of tearing down the school."

Lin Fan was complaining, but the smile in the corners of his eyes couldn't be hidden.

S-Rank Extreme Cold Domain.

This was the terrifying ability Su Qingxue evolved only after using the ice-type blind box he provided.

It could be said that Su Qingxue's current strength was completely piled up with money.

But this money was well spent!
