Chapter 132: The Right Bet
Si’tu Luo gave them a brief explanation, then let everyone leave. This time, no one was left behind alone.
After the others left, the elderly man in white handed the plant inscription beast skin drawn by Yu Qing Qian to the elderly man in black.
“Eldest Brother, this girl’s plant inscription talent is as good as Feng Chen’s. We really made the right bet this time.” The elderly man rubbed his hands together and said with a sneaky smile.
The elderly man in black took the beast skin and looked at it, with a rare look of expectation in his eyes, “She’s very good.”
“More than just good. First time drawing a plant inscription and she not only filled up the flaw I deliberately left, but also constructed a class-5 pattern. She’s simply a genius among geniuses.” The elderly man in white became more and more satisfied with Yu Qing Qian.
As expected of the little girl he noticed at first sight. This also indirectly reflected that his vision was still as sharp and precise as ever.
Each plant inscription diagram was composed of multiple strokes, and the strokes were divided into ten levels according to the control of mental energy and perception. The worst was class-1 and the best was class-10.
The plant inscriptions drawn by ordinary Plant Inscription Masters could only reach class-5 at most. Those who could draw class-6 diagram would basically become advanced-level Plant Inscription Masters in the future.
Yu Qing Qian was able to draw a class-5 pattern on her first try, which meant that her potential was unlimited.
“I remember that when Feng Chen drew it for the first time, it was also a class-5 pattern right.” The elderly man in black said.
“Mm, that stinky brat’s one was also a class-5 pattern. But now he can draw class-8 patterns. If those old fellows from the Holy Academy knew, they’d definitely pester the stinky brat to leave as soon as possible.”
The elderly man in white paused, then pursed his lips, and said: “Yu Qing Qian, that damned girl, is just like that stinky brat Feng Chen. Even in the mental energy test, they both hid a part of their abilities, truly too humble.”
“The two of them have mature minds, calm temperaments, and high comprehension. It’s actually the most appropriate to go to a place like the Holy Academy where there are countless geniuses.” The elderly man in black sighed and said.
The Royal Academies in each region weren’t on the same level as the Holy Academy in terms of education, power, or cultivation resources.
When Si’tu Luo heard what the two said, he asked with some confusion: “Hasn’t Feng Chen been privately admitted to the Holy Academy on a special exception? It stands to reason that he can go directly to the Holy Academy to cultivate, but why is there no movement form him?”
The Holy Academy was one of the top institutes of higher learning in the Central Continent. It generally recruited people over the age of eighteen who had already started to cultivate as Spiritual Plant Masters. They were always selected from graduates of the Royal Academies in the various regions.
Of course, when encountering someone with extraordinary talent, the Holy Academy would make an exception and lower the age and requirements.
Feng Chen had been appointed by the Holy Academy at the beginning of the year. Although he was only sixteen years old, but he could go to the Holy Academy to cultivate in advance.
A peerless genius like Feng Chen could better realise his potential if he went to the Holy Academy. Although the Royal Academy wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t on the same level as the Holy Academy.
“If it’s not because he wants to spend more time to settle and lay a good foundation, then he should have some other reasons.” The elderly man in black pondered for a moment and said: “Feng Chen has a strong sense of independence, so don’t delve into this matter deeply.”
Be it Feng Chen’s background or qualifications, he was an absolute peak existence even in the Central Continent. It may be the most correct thing to simply follow the path he chose himself.
“Yeah! If that stinky brat suddenly leaves, I would feel reluctant too. It’d be better if he stayed for two more years.” The elderly man in white showed his love for Feng Chen without concealing it.
It was rare for him to meet a good seedling who was so talented in plant inscriptions. Suddenly being poached by others, he felt very uncomfortable.
“Now that Yu Qing Qian, Huo Li Ruo, Mu’rong Qing, and Xie Shu are here, Department Leader, you’ll have endless energy again.” Si’tu Luo said with a bit of gloating.
The elderly man in white smiled mischievously and reached out to pat Si’tu Luo, “You understand me, boy.”
Si’tu Luo’s mouth twitched. It’s not that I understand you. This is just me hoping you can divide your energy from just torturing us…
