16 Attracting Attention (1/2)

Inside the cultivation building, within a large monitoring room, a holographic screen was displaying the scenes inside the Illusory Martial Pagoda. Everything the students did in there could clearly be seen.

Feng Lin's head teacher, along with a group of other teachers, were waiting here. In front of them was a rich-looking old man, and they were all staring at the holographic screen. This old man was none other than the headmaster of the school.

”Mhm!” Zhuang Ziming from the 3rd class isn't bad. His vitality stats is 2.5 and if he continues to grow, he would be able to enter the gifted class once he ascends to the peak of the Illusory Martial Pagoda.”

The head teacher of the 3rd class stood at the side and agreed with a laugh, ”This Zhuang Ziming's background is extremely ordinary, but he works very hard in cultivation and possesses great potential!”

The headmaster nodded. After that, his gaze turned to another male student displayed on the screen.

”Chang Yu from the 18th class is also showcasing a domineering performance. His vitality stats at 2.1 might be a little low, but he can already fight spectacularly with the combat master of the 20th level!”

The other teachers also nodded as they agreed.

These combat masters of the Illusory Martial Pagoda were simulated using models of actual martial artists in Interstellar History. Their combat prowess was undoubtedly at the peak of their respective levels.

Hence, it would clearly be very difficult for these students, who grew up in a greenhouse like a school, to win against them in combat.

Although this student had a vitality stats that was 0,1 more than the combat master, being able to fight to this extent meant that his talent could still be considered slightly above average.

”Mhm, this Fang Yun from the 31st class isn't bad. The gene he awakened should be the Meteor Gene and it's considered a high-tier basic gene. If he can find the correct path of gene evolution, he should be able to evolve it smoothly into the Constellation Gene, and it wouldn't be a farfetched dream for him to think about becoming a true interstellar cultivator.” The headmaster praised as he watched another student. He then turned to a middle-aged man beside him, ”You have taught him well.”

”Headmaster is right. The Constellation Gene is an extremely rare and powerful gene among primeval genes. If he can evolve his gene to that, he would truly be extremely fortunate, and his future would be boundless.” The head teacher of the 31st class had a gratified smile on his face.

….

As the headmaster of a school, he was considered an interstellar cultivator at the elite-level. His judgment was naturally extremely accurate, and any casual comments made by him caused all the head teachers to spout praises non-stop.

If the geniuses of their respective classes were commented upon, those head teachers responsible for them would all have smiles on their face, feeling honor and glory.

As for the female head teacher of the 17th class, her expression was as strict as ever. However, there was an unsightly look on her face now, as the headmaster didn't even comment on a single student from the 17th class.

The 17th class in the whole cohort was considered average, and they didn't have as many geniuses as the other classes. Zhao Kai was the only student with vitality stats that exceeded 2.0.

He might be a genius in the 17th class, but he seemed incomparably average in the perspective of the entire school.

However, this Zhao Kai was famous for not being proficient in combat. He, who has a vitality of 2.2, was actually still stuck at the 18th-level. He had 0.4 more vitality compared to his opponent, but the fight was still so difficult for him. It was so pathetic that one almost couldn't bear to watch.

She gritted her teeth and felt resentful for the fact that Zhao Kai had failed to meet her expectations.

People in the same profession would always be competitive. The other head teachers noticed her predicament, and all of them glanced at her with smiles that were not smiles, causing her to feel even more infuriated.

”The third-senior year student Feng Lin, jumped levels in battle!” At this moment, a robotic voice rang out, alerting everyone.

”What? Another genius that can jump levels in battle has appeared?”

”Who? Who is it? Which class is this genius from?”

”He's able to defeat a combat master on the same level as him. This student is considered heaven-defying!”

…...

A burst of exclamations sounded out.

The instant a genius capable of jumping levels in battle appeared, a huge commotion would surely follow. These teachers found it hard to hide their surprise.

Jumping levels to battle? How can this be possible?

Combat masters weren't ordinary people; they were experts at the very peak of their respective levels. Who would have such combat prowess that they could jump levels and defeat the combat masters in the Illusory Martial Pagoda?

A person who could do so could simply be considered a monster. Which class was he or she from?

Could it be someone from the 3rd class who was known for the fast cultivation speed? Or was it someone from the 18th class who was known for the domineering combat prowess…?

Everyone had some names in their mind and different opinions.

A name then flashed on the screen - Feng Lin.

However, the head teachers all had blank looks on their faces as they couldn't recall if there was such a genius in their class.

Where could this monster be coming from? For a period of time, Feng Lin's identity caused many to feel extreme curiosity.

The female head teacher of the 17th class mumbled to herself, ”Could it be him?” For some reason, Feng Lin appeared in her mind. However, this should be impossible. His vitality stats had only broken through recently, how could his combat prowess be so strong?

One must know that these students could all be considered as flowers in the greenhouses; their combat prowess shouldn't match with their vitality stats. How could anyone possibly be able to jump levels and fight against the combat masters in the pagoda?

The female head teacher of the 17th class furrowed her brows. Could there be another student named Feng Lin in the other classes?

Amidst the discussions by the teachers, the headmaster laughed, ”Seems like a genius has appeared in my school. Let me take a look at who he is.”

To a headmaster, It was natural that the more geniuses his school had, the happier he would be.

He activated his authority as the headmaster and commanded the monitoring devices to zoom in onto one person.

Upon seeing the student, the head teacher of the 17th class let out a gasp of surprise, ”It's really him?!”

”Eh? You recognize this student?” The other teachers curiously looked over.

The female head teacher had a look of amazement on her face. However, she soon regained her calm and smiled at the other teachers, yet she couldn't suppress that secret delight in her eyes. ”He's none other than the second-ranked student, Feng Lin, of my class.”

”Ah, so he is from your class?” The others exchanged glances and had fascinating expressions.

Who would have thought that an average class like the 17th class would produce a genius that could jump levels to battle? If this scene wasn't shown to them personally, they would rather believe that pigs could fly.

Before so many people, the female head teacher naturally wouldn't make a fool out of herself. She suppressed her amazement and had smiles on her face while silently wondering on how did Feng Lin accomplish this.

The other head teachers turned their attention back on to the screen. This newly emerged genius took all their attention away.

”His vitality stats is only at 1.5, but he has broken through to the 16th-level. It is true that he jumped levels, but his vitality stats is simply too low!” When he saw Feng Lin's performance, the headmaster's eyes flashed with a bright light. However, he soon sighed with sorrow.

The other teachers also started to laugh mockingly at the female head teacher of the 17th class.

”He has such low vitality stats. Seems like he had spent all his effort on his martial arts, losing sight of what is truly important, stressing the incidental rather than the fundamental!”

”Seems like he has no way to ascend to the peak of the pagoda and won't be able to enter the gifted class.”

”What a pity. If he put all his heart into cultivation, he might really be able to become a genius. Sadly, no one guided him and he has wasted time on the wrong path, placing all his efforts in martial arts.”

….

He was originally a genius but had already embarked on the wrong path. This caused the other head teachers to sigh with relief. It seemed like this student wouldn't pose a threat to the students of their own classes.

The female head teacher gritted her teeth silently.

At this moment, the headmaster had already found the video records and was spectating it.

”What? He has never entered the Illusory Martial Pagoda before and started from the first level?”

”What a fast breakthrough speed!”
