“Did you hear that? My Xiaoge said his spirit root is a... Ah? Xiaoge, are you messing with me?” Xiao Liuzi had been so confident that he couldn't stop himself, blurting out half the sentence before he realized what was happening.

Laughter erupted from the crowd, and Xiao Liuzi's face flushed red. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to disappear into.

However, Chen Xiao didn't care about the others' mockery. He just wanted to register and leave as soon as possible, not wanting to waste time here, so he turned to the receiving disciple and asked, "Excuse me, am I registered? Can I leave?"

The receiving disciple's admiration for Chen Xiao had vanished. After Chen Xiao admitted that he had a first-grade spirit root, he felt like he had been played. In an instant, he became unpleasant.

He looked at Chen Xiao with disgust and contempt. When he heard Chen Xiao's question, he said rudely, "Get out! Trash with a first-grade spirit root wants to participate in the assessment? If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to live. I'd just kill myself!"

Hearing the receiving disciple's impolite words, Chen Xiao's expression changed. He said angrily, "I've never heard that the Martial Academy's assessment has requirements for spirit roots."

"Damn it, I say there is, so there is. If you don't get out, I don't mind helping you on your way." As he spoke, the receiving disciple began to rub his fists, making it clear that he would attack if Chen Xiao didn't leave.

"Chen Xiao, is that really you!" Just then, a melodious voice rang out, and a beautiful figure walked out of the mountain gate.

Wang Hao felt that the voice was familiar. He turned around and his heart skipped a beat. "How does this trash know Miss Lan?"

The newcomer was none other than Lan Qin'er. When she confirmed that the person standing at the registration desk was indeed Chen Xiao, her steps became lighter, and she walked towards Chen Xiao like a little bird.

Like Wang Hao, the receiving disciple was also stunned. "This... isn't this Miss Lan? Does she know this first-grade spirit root trash?"

Seeing Miss Lan's surprised appearance, it seemed that they were not only acquaintances, but also had a good relationship. Thinking of this, he cried inwardly, "This is terrible!"

"I didn't expect it to really be you! You... are you here to register?" Lan Qin'er came to Chen Xiao with a joyful smile.

But when she thought of Chen Xiao coming to register for the Tian Feng Martial Academy's assessment, she felt it was a little unbelievable. After all, with Chen Xiao's array talisman skills, why would he need to participate in the assessment? Such a young four-star array talisman master, the Martial Academy should be begging him to come.

Chen Xiao was also happy to see Lan Qin'er. He smiled heartily and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Hehe, of course you'll meet me, because I'm also a disciple of the Martial Academy! I'll be your senior sister from now on!" Lan Qin'er said with a smile. Although she didn't know why Chen Xiao had to participate in this assessment, Lan Qin'er believed that with Chen Xiao's abilities, passing the assessment was naturally a piece of cake.

Hearing this, Chen Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid I don't have the fortune to be your junior brother. My spirit root is only first-grade, and I'm not even qualified to register."

"What?" Lan Qin'er suspected that she had heard wrong. She didn't expect Chen Xiao to be so outstanding but only have a first-grade spirit root.

However, she quickly understood the key point. So what if he had a first-grade spirit root? People with fourth-grade and fifth-grade spirit roots were as common as carp crossing the river in the Tian Feng Martial Academy, but none of them could draw enchanted talismans. Although spirit roots represented a person's talent to a certain extent, they were not everything.

Moreover, she heard the implication in Chen Xiao's words. Lan Qin'er was also the daughter of a great general, and although she was still young, she was also very shrewd. After understanding, she immediately pointed the finger at the receiving disciple: "Since when did four-star array talisman masters not qualify to participate in the Tian Feng Martial Academy's assessment? If Chen Xiao doesn't even have the qualification to register, then what qualification do you have to stay in the Martial Academy?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in disbelief.

"What? This kid is a four-star array talisman master?"

"You're kidding, how could there be such a young four-star array talisman master in this world."

"Who is this kid? Even Miss Lan is helping him speak."

There were many people in the crowd who knew Lan Qin'er. Although they didn't believe that Chen Xiao was a four-star array talisman master, they were envious of Chen Xiao when they saw Lan Qin'er's enthusiastic attitude towards Chen Xiao.

The receiving disciple was also dumbfounded. What he was worried about had happened. Miss Lan and this kid really had a close relationship. He just wanted to poke out his own eyes. He couldn't even recognize Miss Lan's friends. What was the point of keeping them?

The reason why he was so afraid of Lan Qin'er was not only because of Lan Qin'er's family background, but also because Lan Qin'er herself was extremely talented. There were only three people in the entire Martial Academy who had sixth-grade spirit roots, and Lan Qin'er was one of them. Lan Qin'er also cultivated very diligently. At just sixteen years old, she already had a Body Tempering sixth level cultivation.

What was even more amazing was that Lan Qin'er was not only highly cultivated, but also very sweet-looking, coupled with her cheerful personality. Countless young talents in the Martial Academy regarded her as their dream lover, including some descendants of high-ranking officials and powerful people, as well as martial artists with top-notch cultivation talents.

It could be said that offending Lan Qin'er was equivalent to offending most of the disciples of the Martial Academy. This was a fatal blow to him, who had neglected cultivation after entering the Martial Academy and instead devoted himself to managing interpersonal relationships.

Therefore, facing Lan Qin'er's questioning, the receiving disciple's face was ashen, and he didn't even consider what the concept of a four-star array talisman master in Lan Qin'er's words meant. If he realized that he had just offended such a young four-star array talisman master, then he would probably want to die.

"I, I..." At this time, he was already frightened, stammering and unable to say a complete sentence.

Lan Qin'er didn't expect that her words would scare this person half to death. She turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Chen Xiao apologetically, extremely playful and cute. Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile at her cute appearance.

However, Wang Hao, who was standing behind the receiving disciple, was now completely stunned. The words "four-star array talisman master" that Lan Qin'er said kept echoing in his mind.

"Could it be that Chen Xiao, this trash, is actually a four-star array talisman master? How is this possible? I know exactly how much he weighs. But if not, then with Miss Lan's status, how could she say such big words for the sake of a mere Chen Xiao?"

Wang Hao's heart was now in a mess, but no matter what, he didn't believe that Chen Xiao was a four-star array talisman master, so he shouted loudly: "Miss Lan, you must have been deceived by this trash's sweet words. He and I are both from Qingyuan City, but he is definitely just a first-grade spirit root trash."
