Chapter 139: Other People's Child, Yu Tianlin
Yu Tianlin led Ning Rongrong toward the second checkpoint. Halfway there, Ning Rongrong suddenly asked, "Your name is Yu Tianlin, and you're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Even though she had assumed it was just a coincidence, she still could not help asking.
"You've heard of me?" Yu Tianlin turned back, a little surprised. He did not expect her to know his name.
But thinking about it, it made sense. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan paid attention to the younger generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Yu Tianlin had heard Ning Rongrong's name a few times from his grandfather, so it was only natural that Ning Rongrong had heard of him too.
"You really are from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?" This time, it was Ning Rongrong's turn to be shocked. "That legendary genius is you?"
"The legendary genius?" Yu Tianlin did not realize his reputation had become that dramatic. He said, "If the 'legendary genius' you mean is named Yu Tianlin, then yes, that's me."
After Yu Tianlin nodded, Ning Rongrong's gaze turned strange.
To her, Yu Tianlin was the classic "other people's child."
Whenever she wanted to slack off in cultivation, her father would bring up Yu Tianlin, talking about his achievements at Thunder Academy, his Spirit Power breakthroughs, and all sorts of things. Then he would sigh about the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, saying none of their younger generation could compare to Yu Tianlin. What would they do when he grew up?
It always forced Ning Rongrong to grit her teeth and keep going, and it also planted a deep curiosity in her heart.
"We're the same age, so how is this guy cultivating so fast?" Ning Rongrong's eyes were full of disbelief. "Yu Tianlin, I heard you reached level 28 on your 10th birthday. Is that true?"
Level 28 at 10 years old. Was cultivating Spirit Power as easy to him as eating and drinking?
She, Ning Rongrong, was the fastest cultivating disciple among the direct line of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Even so, she had not reached level 28 at 12.
Hearing her question, Yu Tianlin could not help smiling. "It's true."
It seemed the information circulating outside only went that far. His level 28 cultivation had been revealed at his 10th birthday banquet, and everything after that had been kept completely hidden.
Ning Rongrong did a quick calculation, then exclaimed, "At that pace, aren't you almost level 40 now? That's terrifying!"
Yu Tianlin only smiled and said nothing. In his heart, he calmly added, I've already passed level 40.
After chatting a bit, the two reached the location of the second assessment. Only then did Ning Rongrong realize that Yu Tianlin still did not know who she was, so she quickly introduced herself. "By the way, my name is Ning Rongrong. You should have heard of me by now."
"Ning Rongrong, the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan sect leader. I already had a rough idea." Yu Tianlin nodded. "Nice to meet you."
Then he saw Ning Rongrong about to join the line of 7 or 8 people and said, "You don't need to line up. If your Spirit Power is above level 25, you can skip this stage. Follow me."
With that, Yu Tianlin led Ning Rongrong to the front.
The teacher in charge of the second assessment looked older than Li Yusong. Yu Tianlin stepped forward and said, "Teacher Lu, her Spirit Power is above level 25, so I brought her here for you to test."
Yu Tianlin did not actually recognize him, but after a quick deduction, he guessed this person was Lu Qibin.
Shrek Academy only had 3 teachers besides the dean and vice dean. Excluding Li Yusong, whom Yu Tianlin already knew, the remaining 2 were Lu Qibin of the Control Department and Shao Xin of the Food Department. This teacher did not look like someone from the Food Department, so it had to be Lu Qibin.
"Test your Spirit Power." Lu Qibin frowned when he heard an unfamiliar teenager call him Teacher Lu, but he quickly remembered that this should be the person Old Li had arranged lodging for yesterday. He did not say much. He simply tossed the white crystal ball on the table toward Yu Tianlin.
This crystal ball could only test Spirit Power below level 30. Anything above that would make it explode.
Yu Tianlin did not try it. He received it and handed it straight to Ning Rongrong.
As Ning Rongrong infused her Spirit Power, the crystal ball released a bright white glow, showing level 27.
"Level 27?" Yu Tianlin was slightly surprised.
In the original story, Ning Rongrong was only level 26 when she entered the academy. How did she gain a level?
It looked like a butterfly effect.
Yu Tianlin had no idea that this was, in fact, related to him. Being used as the "other people's child" had forced Ning Rongrong to cultivate more diligently.
"Level 27, not bad." Lu Qibin showed a satisfied smile. "You can go straight to the fourth stage."
Then he turned to Yu Tianlin and said, "I heard from Old Li that your name is Yu Tianlin. Do you know where the fourth stage is? Take her there."
"Alright." Yu Tianlin nodded.
He led Ning Rongrong deeper into the academy under the envious stares of the applicants still waiting in line.
"As far as I know, the fourth stage is a practical assessment," Yu Tianlin said as they walked. "But you're a support type Spirit Master, so I don't know how they'll arrange you. You'll probably wait for the others who pass the first 3 stages, then team up for the practical test."
"The first stage was already so strict. The second and third stages will definitely be even harder." Ning Rongrong spoke with confidence. "Maybe nobody but me will pass. If I'm the only support type Spirit Master, there won't even be a need for a practical test. I should just pass directly."
"You're overthinking it." Yu Tianlin chuckled. "This time, at least 3 people will pass the first 3 stages."
Soon, they arrived at an open space, around 200 square meters. A middle aged man who looked about 50 was sitting in a chair, dozing off.
Immovable King, Zhao Wuji.
Yu Tianlin had heard his name inside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Zhao Wuji was infamous for offending Spirit Hall, and for successfully fighting his way out of their pursuit and suppression.
With a quiet sigh, Yu Tianlin led Ning Rongrong to Zhao Wuji's side, woke him, and explained that they were here for the fourth test.
Zhao Wuji looked pleasantly surprised at first, clearly itching to test her personally. But when he learned Ning Rongrong was only a support type Spirit Master, he immediately lost interest and waved his hand for the two of them to wait.
