The Teaching Elder guessed that Tian Lin was hiding his true abilities because of Elder Xue's influence as a Nascent Soul expert.
The other students, however, didn't have as many thoughts and scheming as the Teaching Elder. Someone couldn't help but say:
"Rumor has it that junior brother Tian came from a background of Huahua Lang, so his foundation is inevitably weak. I reckon not only does he lack accomplishments in Array Formation but he probably won't achieve anything remarkable in Alchemy Dao either."
This wasn't to belittle Tian Lin, but to state his actual situation.
Indeed, Tian Lin, who stood within the circle on the right, just stood there foolishly, without any intention to arrange an array.
The Teaching Elder outside the circle was both angry and amused. If Elder Xue weren't there, he would certainly have fiercely scolded Tian Lin.
