BTTH: Thunder Emperor

BTTH-Chapter 14: Potential Grading

After saying that, Teacher Ruolin walked into the tent and sat down elegantly on the first stool. With a wave of her hand, a sheepskin scroll and a pen appeared in front of her. She looked at the freshmen who came in one after another. "Dear students, congratulations on passing the prediction. Now you have entered the gates of Canaan College. However, because the college needs to distinguish the potential values of students, I need to know your exact current strength."

"Eight-stage Dou Zhi Qi belongs to F-level potential value, which is the standard of Canaan College."

"Nine-stage Dou Zhi Qi belongs to E-level potential value."

"One-star Dou Zhe is D-level, two-star Dou Zhe is C-level, and so on. The highest level is S-level, five-star Dou Zhe. Of course, the age limit here is under 20 years old. Next, you will report your name, level, and age from left to right."

The people at the front reported their names and strengths one after another, but they were basically F and E levels, and the highest strength at present was only a one-star Dou Zhe.

While there was still a long time before his turn, Xiao Tian also woke up the system: "System check-in."

—

[Ding! Check-in at the Canaan College enrollment registration point. Obtain: Xuan-level advanced Dou skill: Lightning Shield; realm increased by one star.]

—

Xiao Tian's aura instantly reached that of a five-star Dou Shi. He received the dou skill Lightning Shield, and the scroll instantly turned into text and entered Xiao Tian's brain. He mastered the Lightning Shield immediately and reviewed the dou skill. This was mainly for defense. If he asked for leave to fight with Instructor Ruolin later, he would have a better chance of passing the test with this skill.

Soon it was the turn of the Xiao family members. "Xiao Ning, Dou Zhi Qi level nine, age eighteen." 

"Xiao Mei, Dou Zhi Qi level nine, age sixteen." "E-level."

Then it was Xiao Yan's turn: "Xiao Yan, four-star Dou Zhe, age sixteen." Ruolin was surprised for a moment: "A-level."

After Xiao Yan finished reporting, it was Xiao Tian's turn, but he was still immersed in his dou skills. Xun'er pulled Xiao Tian, who was distracted. "Brother Xiao Tian, it's your turn."

"Oh, so soon? Xiao Tian, five-star Dou Shi, age sixteen." Xiao Tian returned to his senses and reported directly.

Instructor Ruolin, who was preparing to record on the sheepskin scroll, stood up instantly. Her gentle face morphed into one of shock. She thought she had heard incorrectly and trembled slightly: "What realm?"

"Five-star Dou Shi."

As Xiao Tian's words fell again, there was a dead silence in the tent. Everyone opened their mouths and stared at Xiao Tian blankly.

"Fuck, why are you pinching me?"

"I'll pinch you to see if I'm dreaming or if this is real."

"Then why don't you pinch yourself?"

"I'm afraid of pain..." The silence in the room was broken by the conversation between the two people, and a burst of discussions erupted: "Is this still a human being?" "This is sixteen years old? Is there still law and justice?"

Rob and Gora, who were originally in the corner, shrank into a darker corner with cold sweat, fearing that Xiao Tian would notice them.

Teacher Ruolin's shock gradually faded, and she stared at Xiao Tian with a gleaming look in her eyes: "I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that I would meet a genius with potential far beyond S-level. It really surprises me."

The gazes of the crowd, especially from the girls, made Xiao Tian feel a bit uncomfortable. But for his own sake, he decided to report everything honestly. Besides, if he asked for leave later, he would probably have to fight, and it would be even more embarrassing if he hid it now and it was exposed later. He would be in trouble both inside and out.

"Next." While everyone was still shocked, Teacher Ruolin calmed down, sat back in her chair, and spoke.

Xiao Xun Er walked out with lotus steps: "Xiao Xun Er, six-star Dou Zhe, age sixteen."

Hearing that another S-level genius had come, everyone opened their mouths in surprise. There were two S-level beings at once. Because they had been shocked by Xiao Tian before, they were not as surprised now; their horizons had been broadened.

"Teacher Ruolin, I will send you another S-level genius." After Xiao Xun Er finished reporting, Teacher Ruolin, who was about to put away the parchment scroll, was drawn in by Xiao Tian's voice.

"Send me another genius? Who is it? Where is it?"

"Hey, over there." Xiao Tian raised his head slightly and gestured in the direction of Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan? Although he is outstanding, he has not reached the S-level standard." Ruolin looked at Xiao Yan and asked in confusion.

"Do you want me to speak for you?" Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Yan and whispered to him, "Xiao Yanzi, you must show your value before you can do what you want to do."

"Let me speak for myself!" Then Xiao Yan briefly discussed his own affairs. Everyone found out that Xiao Yan had cultivated to this level in a year, and their perceptions changed.

"If Xiao Tian hadn't said it, you, a genius, would have almost gotten away." Ruolin looked at the three geniuses standing in front of her and felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. She would be envied to death by other mentors when she returned.

"Teacher Ruolin, I plan to take a year off." Just when Ruolin was happy, Xiao Tian and Xiao Yan suddenly spoke at the same time.

"Are you kidding me? This is equivalent to one-third of your study time in the academy? The teacher cannot approve this for you, so please don't make it difficult for me." Ruolin was both amused and exasperated by the two.

"Teacher, I have to take this leave. I have important things to do, and nothing can change that. If I can't take leave, I can only withdraw. I will sign up again next year when enrollment starts." Xiao Tian looked at Ruolin helplessly. Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but his determined eyes expressed everything.

Teacher Ruolin looked at the two, who threatened to quit, and rubbed her forehead with a headache. She had finally gotten these geniuses, and she was reluctant to let them slip away from her grasp. After pondering for a while, the gentleness on Ruolin's face gradually faded, and she narrowed her eyes: "As long as either of you can survive twenty rounds in my hands, I will agree to the leave."

"Okay." Xiao Tian had already considered this possibility and agreed without hesitation. Xiao Yan also nodded with a dry smile.

"It's too cramped here; let's go to the square outside." After saying that, Teacher Ruolin walked to the square, touched her ring with her slender hand, and a long water-blue whip appeared in her hand. She said to the two of them, "Who will go first?"

"I'll go first; please show mercy to me later!" Xiao Tian stood up and said.

Teacher Ruolin did not speak but took the whip in her hand and waved it gracefully to indicate her readiness.

Xiao Tian glanced at Teacher Ruolin, then activated the Heavenly Thunder Halberd, and a long halberd appeared in his hand. He stood in front of Ruolin, tightly gripping the halberd. Ruolin looked at Xiao Tian's halberd: "Oh~ Is it a weapon made of pure lightning? It seems that you have a high level of mastery of lightning attributes."

After saying that, she shook her wrist, and the long whip drew a graceful arc in the air, attacking Xiao Tian with a sharp sound as it sliced through the air. Xiao Tian's eyes focused, and he added his own thunder-attributed Dou Zhi Qi to the halberd. Then he stabbed it out like lightning and struck the tip of the whip.
