Chapter 4322 — Genius Huang Xiaotao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao was so outstanding; it was only natural that other women should be drawn to him. Besides, back in the mundane world she had already grown used to sharing him with the other women. Even one more now did not seem so very hard to accept. The one thing Wang Xinyan truly cared about at this moment was how to avoid prying eyes and meet Wei Zhao in private.
In the field, watched by Wei Zhao, Huang Xiaotao slowly walked up to the testing stele. After exhaling a breath of turbid air, she placed her hand upon the stele, circulated her cultivation method, and channeled her true qi into it.
The testing stele responded almost at once. Just as with Wei Zhao's test moments before, a wisp of fiery red appeared upon the stele—at first glance, the mark of a single fire-attribute spirit root.
Yet on closer inspection, one would find that Huang Xiaotao's wisp of fiery red differed in essence from Wei Zhao's. Hers flickered and swayed ceaselessly, like a flame set in open air.
"Could this be..." The academy staff exchanged glances, every one of them wearing a look of disbelief.
And at this moment, there was no need for them to make any announcement at all. The moment the assembled academy bigwigs on the platform saw this, their eyes lit up—so much so that both Academy Head Ling Yuanqing and Vice Head Wei Hebei rose from their seats at the same time!
Two people had already been admitted, yet neither Chu Muqing's three-attribute spirit root nor the hedgehog-haired youth's four-attribute spirit root had drawn so much as a flicker of delight from those two titans of the Opening Mountain stage. Even when Wei Hebei finally took the hedgehog-haired youth as a disciple, he had agonized and hesitated for a while before making the decision—and it had been nothing more than an insignificant nominal disciple at that.
But now, seeing Huang Xiaotao's spirit root attributes, even these two titans of the Opening Mountain stage could no longer keep their seats!
"A dual fire-and-wind spirit root!" The academy staff were stunned for a long while before one of them finally cried out, unable to contain their delight.
Before the words had died away, an uproar swept the whole field. Even Chu Muqing and the hedgehog-haired youth, already admitted, wore faces full of astonishment!
The wind attribute—that was a standard exotic spirit root, rare enough in itself. And on top of that, Huang Xiaotao possessed a fire-attribute spirit root as well. An aptitude like this could already be called the aptitude of a genius among geniuses!
"Are you willing to join Morning Star Academy and become my personal disciple?" Ling Yuanqing and Wei Hebei spoke almost in unison, and only after the words were out did they realize what had happened. They could not help exchanging a wry smile—these two titans of the Opening Mountain stage had both set their eyes on Huang Xiaotao at the same moment!
There was no help for it. Someone with such aptitude was simply too rare. If they let Huang Xiaotao slip away, they might never in their lives find another genius possessing both fire- and wind-attribute spirit roots.
