Bai Tong had an exceptionally keen sense of detecting auras.
On Ye Ling, Bai Tong sensed something different.
Compared to other classes, the students walking at the very end of the class were almost invariably worried about whether they could pass the first assessment.
But Ye Ling was different. Walking at the very end clearly indicated a lack of strength.
Yet, he exuded a powerful confidence.
Bai Tong could clearly sense Ye Ling’s confidence.
It wasn’t feigned; it was genuine.
A student ranked last in the class, still so confident in such a situation.
This… was interesting.
He didn’t know the core reason behind Ye Ling’s confidence, but Ye Ling indeed made Bai Tong see him in a different light.
“I wonder, what is your reliance? I’m really curious.”
Bai Tong thought to himself.
His curiosity about Ye Ling grew significantly.
Next to him, Lu Feng, the representative of Azure Dragon Spirit Tamer Academy, noticed Bai Tong’s unusual behavior.
So, Lu Feng curiously asked.
“Teacher Bai, you seem to be very interested in a certain student.”
Hearing this, Bai Tong openly admitted it.
He pointed at Ye Ling, who was about to enter the Secret Realm.
“I’m a bit interested in this student. Why is someone ranked last in the class so calm and composed?”
“Is he naturally like this, or does he have some reliance? I’m really curious.”
Following Bai Tong’s direction, Lu Feng saw Ye Ling’s somewhat sturdy back.
Although not very strong, it radiated immense confidence.
Even Lu Feng could feel it.
Frowning slightly, Lu Feng also became a bit interested in why the last-ranked student in the class was so confident.
They were heading to a First Rank Secret Realm, where high-level demons could reach the First Rank Ninth or Tenth Level.
For a student ranked last, their strength would be at most First Rank Second or Third Level.
In the Secret Realm, if lucky, they could pass the assessment.
But if unlucky, they might die on the spot.
Some demons were incredibly fast, killing students before they could even react, leaving no chance for teleportation.
Bai Tong and Lu Feng’s conversation was not concealed, naturally attracting the interest of Hong Xiu, the representative of Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy, and Huo Ling, the representative of Black Tortoise Spirit Tamer Academy.
Both of them turned their attention to Ye Ling.
“I don’t know why he’s so confident, but I have a good feeling about him,” Huo Ling said, leaning back in her chair.
A Spirit Tamer must learn to be confident.
When facing demons, if you lack confidence, you’ve already lost seventy percent of the battle.
Of course, this confidence should not be arrogance.
Facing demons with arrogance almost certainly leads to death.
Hong Xiu nodded slightly but showed little interest in Ye Ling.
“Unfortunately, our Vermilion Bird Academy only recruits female students. He’s a male, so he’s destined to have no connection with us.”
Indeed, among the four top Spirit Tamer Academies, Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy was the most unique.
Unlike Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise Spirit Tamer Academies, Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy had only recruited female students since its inception.
No exceptions.
The reason for this was unknown to everyone except the first headmaster who founded the academy.
Unfortunately, the first headmaster had long passed away.
However, every subsequent headmaster strictly adhered to this rule, and no one dared to defy it.
Thus, Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy was a paradise for men, as it was filled with women.
But unfortunately, from the headmaster to the teachers, from the teachers to the students, there wasn’t a single man; all were women.
Therefore, Hong Xiu would only consider female students for recruitment.
She wouldn’t consider any male students.
This was why Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy had the fewest students among the four top Spirit Tamer Academies.
Because they rejected many potential male students.
This naturally benefited the other three Spirit Tamer Academies.
Back to Ye Ling, he finally encountered it.
Looking at the Secret Realm passage ahead, a trace of excitement flashed in Ye Ling’s eyes.
Without any hesitation, he stepped in.
To other students, this might be an assessment, but to Ye Ling, it was nothing.
It was merely a place for him to level up and gather evolution materials.
After stepping into the passage, Ye Ling found a long corridor ahead.
At the end of the corridor was a bright light, clearly the exit.
Outside was the location of this assessment, the First Rank Secret Realm.
