Teacher Su Luo was held back by the guards who came as fast as they could. However, she stayed still in her place while looking at the board before her. Lin Xiao's name quickly passed the sixth and then… the seventh…
With that one move, he had officially become the first in the entire first batch.
Even Prince Lin Hong and Princess Lan Xiao Yue had only passed the sixth not long ago and they were still quite far from the seventh unless they made their breakthrough. But from the way it looked like, they would not make it until several months at the very least.
It's over.
Teacher Su Luo knew that she wouldn't be able to run away anymore.
While the teacher was in despair, the students were all excited. That day, the name Lin Xiao swept the academy as the new powerhouse who was so powerful that he managed to cross rank and defeated the one at a rank higher than him.
"Damn! That new prince is actually so powerful!"
"Hearing his story of how he used to live in countryside makes it hard to believe that he can be so powerful!"
"True. How did he get so many resources to cultivate to such heights?"
"I think he fought a live and death's battle and got a lot of benefits?" One of them tried to guess but the others ignored him.
Little did he know that it was really the truth.
For nearly a year's time, Lin Xiao and the others kept on challenging those who were at the rank stronger than them in a life and death's arena. They won a lot of money and experience even though they have been brushing against death for so many times during that time.
The rich experience they had allowed them to get used to various type of attacks and let them reacted at the shortest time possible.
Lin Xiao originally wanted to pass the eight stage too, but since he already had the qualification to enter the third floor of Book Pavilion, he stopped. It was already good enough for him.
When Lin Xiao walked out of the tower once more, he noticed that a lot of people were staring at him. Everyone was looking at him with heated gaze. Their gaze was a bit… disturbing.
As a youth, Lin Xiao had to admit that their gazes were a bit intimidating. But at the same time, he had already seen the gaze of so many people during the life and death's arena. Though, at that time, he was mostly focused on fighting and naturally will not pay much attention to others around him.
'You have to get used to this. In the future, you'll meet with a lot of people and stand at the very top.' Lin Hu felt that it was interesting Lin Xiao felt bothered with those people referred him when he was used to them mocking him.
Lin Xiao nodded his head faintly. When those villagers mocked him for his poor comprehension and ability, he could easily ignore them. When many people were doubting his capabilities, he could also ignore them.
It was easy.
But when he saw a lot of people looking at him as if he was a fresh meat that could be devoured at any time, he felt a bit loss.
"Number one of the entire new student batch." Princess Lan Yi Hua nodded her head and looked at Lin Xiao teasingly. "It seems that I will need to work hard to match with your current status."
Lin Xiao let out a strained smile when he looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua. She was clearly much smarter than him and their power was more or less the same. It wouldn't be easy for him if she decided to stand firm and reveal her geniuses too.

But what's actually make someone a genius?
Capable of fighting those at higher stage, advancing at rapid speed, or able to comprehend so many skills so easily?
'Not all geniuses will showcase their power to let others see them.'
Lin Xiao passed a glance in the direction of the older students. His lips curled up to form a smile. In the future… he would make sure that he could defeat them soundly and told everyone his real power.
But for now… it was enough to be the first in his batch.
"Well, since he's already at the first place, can we also make our move?" Lin Yun asked with a frown.
"You're already at Golden Core Stage. If you can't pass the seventh stage, it'll be weirder."
"Well, true enough."
With that, both Lin Yun and Fan Ling passed the seventh stage, putting them at the second and third position. This made many others baffled because they just realized that those near Lin Xiao had all progressed so quickly that it was insane.
Did they found a treasure trove?
That was the only thing they could think when they saw how fast these people advanced.
With the first, second, and third all belonged to Lin Xiao and his friends, they were famous overnight. Many people were waiting for them to make another earthshattering news but none of those happened.
Princess Lan Yi Hua glanced at Lin Xiao, who stood stiffly and let out a faint laugh. "Not used with the attention."
"You can say it like that." Lin Xiao scratched the back of his head. If they were only mocking him, he could easily ignore them and showed hostility. But if they were instead looking at him with reverence… he was not sure how he should act.
Princess Lan Yi Hua giggled. She passed a look at the tower.
In fact, Princess Lan Yi Hua could already defeat the seventh floor too, but she didn't do it because she had to keep low profile for a bit longer.
…
Tower floors' ranking in case you forget:
1-3 for Body Training
4-6 for Foundation Establishment
7-9 for Golden Core Stage Rank 1
10-15 for Golden Core Stage Rank 2
