"Yan Zi, you're already Level 47?"
Seeing Dugu Yan's annual performance summary, Ye Lingling's face showed some emotion.
Dugu Yan nodded: "Yes, Teacher used immortal grade herbs to refine my body, and combined with the Cultivation Technique I practice and my Physique, plus the Nine-Section Jade for refining poison, my spirit power has improved quite well. But the other students are not far behind me; everyone is already in their forties."
"All in their forties?! I remember just over a year ago, they were only Level 30..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's pretty face was filled with surprise: "They... are all Spirit Ancestors now?!"
Although Ye Lingling had prepared herself for a slight gap between herself and the other students after joining Heart of Fire Academy, she hadn't expected the gap to be this large.
A year ago, their spirit power was several levels lower than hers.
Yet, in just one year, not only did their spirit power surpass hers, but they directly advanced to Intermediate Spirit Ancestor, breaking through more than ten levels!
What kind of opportunity had she missed a year ago?
Ye Lingling felt some regret for her ignorance back then.
If she had joined Heart of Fire Academy a year ago, what would have happened?
Moreover, winning the Spirit Master's Competition was only the first major stage of teaching?
In other academies, achieving a good ranking in the Spirit Master's Competition already qualified one for graduation.
As if seeing through Ye Lingling's thoughts, Dugu Yan comforted her: "Lingling, it's alright. Since Teacher has accepted you as a Disciple, he must have already tailored a cultivation plan for you. As long as you train according to what Teacher teaches, you will catch up to us very quickly."
"Yes, I will work hard."
Ye Lingling bit her lip. The Nine Heart Sea Spirit was unmatched on the continent, and when she was at the Royal Academy, she was like a star surrounded by the moon. This was the first time she experienced feeling like the tail end.
"You're dismissed. The rest of the time is free activity."
"Lingling, come with me." After settling the matters for the other six students, Xin looked at Ye Lingling and said.
"Lingling, go ahead." Dugu Yan smiled faintly.
"Ling Xiao Qi, focus on learning with Teacher, no daydreaming!"
"The competition is about to start, we can't lose, so let's cheer up!" Ning Rongrong also cheered on Ye Lingling.
She had encouraging intentions, but what she feared more was probably the 'milkmaid' style of support.
Teacher, as another support, you can't give your favoritism to the super healer—Nine Heart Sea!
I, Nine Treasure Golden Glazed Body Pagoda, I am tanky, I am more durable, more effective, more resilient!
Come at me!
