“Indeed, Ye Ling, all the effort I’ve put into you has been worth it.”
This time, Hong Xiu felt an unprecedented sense of relief for the decision she had made earlier.
Luckily, Vermilion Bird Academy had fewer students compared to other academies. If it were like the others, the resources they could allocate might not even match up.
It would have been impossible to secure Ye Ling.
Now, the facts proved that Hong Xiu’s decision was correct.
Ye Ling becoming stronger would naturally benefit the academy even more.
The Federation allocates resources to each academy based on their ranking in the grand competition.
Among the four major academies, Vermilion Bird Academy had always been in a middling position, sometimes even at the bottom.
This was mainly because they had far fewer students compared to other academies.
Even though they had some outstanding students, they still fell short compared to the others.
After all, Vermilion Bird Academy used to only recruit female students, which excluded many talented males from joining.
Now, even before reaching the academy, Ye Ling had already broken through to become a Second Rank Spirit Tamer. By the time of the next grand competition, he might shine even brighter.
Of course, the next grand competition was still far off, but Hong Xiu already felt a certain level of confidence.
“Teacher Hong, if there’s nothing else, we’ll go have breakfast first.”
Ye Ling pointed to the table nearby.
Nodding slightly, Hong Xiu quickly replied.
“Alright, you two go have breakfast. After you’re done, you can choose to train in the airship’s training room or rest as you wish.
For the next few days, just make sure to go through the student handbook.”
Yun Yi, who was standing by, raised her hand high.
“Teacher Hong, don’t worry, we’ll finish reading the student handbook as soon as possible.”
With that, Yun Yi and Ye Ling walked over to the table.
While Ye Ling and Yun Yi were having breakfast, Hong Xiu and Li Yuehai had already left the dining hall, one heading to her room and the other to the control room.
“Ye Ling, you’re amazing. Teacher Hong seems very pleased with your performance. I wish I could be like you someday.”
Yun Yi said enviously as she took small bites of her breakfast.
Standing next to Ye Ling in front of the teachers, all her brilliance seemed to be overshadowed.
Back in Skyshine City, she was considered a genius girl, but compared to Ye Ling, the gap was too obvious.
One could even say there was no comparison at all.
Hearing Yun Yi’s words, Ye Ling smiled.
“Your strength is already quite good. There’s no need to always compare yourself to me; it doesn’t make sense.”
What else could he say? After all, he had a system. If ordinary people could easily catch up to him, wouldn’t that be embarrassing for the system?
Poking at the food on her plate with chopsticks, Yun Yi asked curiously.
“Why can’t I compare myself to you? Aren’t you a student just like me?”
“Uh…”
Faced with this question, Ye Ling really didn’t know how to answer.
Shrugging helplessly, Ye Ling smiled and replied.
“Alright then, just do your best. I’ll be waiting for you on the path ahead.”
Hearing Ye Ling’s response, Yun Yi sighed deeply.
“Sigh!”
“You’re already at the Second Rank. By the time I reach the Second Rank, who knows what level you’ll be at.”
Indeed, you can never guess a woman’s thoughts. Guessing leads to nothing.
Alright, seeing Yun Yi’s sighing expression, Ye Ling decisively chose to remain silent.
“Roar!”
At this moment, a low growl was heard from the side.
It turned out to be the Frost Giant Bear, who had finished eating but still seemed unsatisfied.
“Big Bear, are you still hungry? My goodness… how can you eat so much? You don’t usually eat this much.”
Yun Yi, who could sense the Frost Giant Bear’s thoughts, naturally knew what it wanted.
Having such a gluttonous pet, Yun Yi felt quite helpless.
If it weren’t for her well-off family, she wouldn’t be able to afford raising the Frost Giant Bear.
Helplessly, Yun Yi went to get another serving of food for the Frost Giant Bear.
Compared to the voracious Frost Giant Bear, Feng Jiu was eating very little on the table.
In fact, what Feng Jiu ate wasn’t even enough to fill the Frost Giant Bear’s teeth.
As for Blood Phantom, being a zombie, she didn’t need to eat at all.
After getting another serving of food for the Frost Giant Bear, Yun Yi glanced at Feng Jiu, who had only eaten a little, then looked at the massive Frost Giant Bear beside her. Suddenly, she felt mentally exhausted.
The Frost Giant Bear looked aggrieved. Was it its fault? It was Yun Yi, its owner, who was to blame.
During the battle last night, the Frost Giant Bear had exhausted almost all its energy. Returning to the Spiritual Pet Seal, it had only rested a bit to recover its strength.
Its stomach was already empty, so naturally, it ate a lot this morning.
