Tang Xiao’sthat with these measures Jin Tao could reach ninth rank?”

Lan Jue fixed his pupil with a stare “Interesting response”

“Man…” Tang Xiao al out like a bandit If you had a et soive it a shot, no ers To reach the very pinnacle of human ability! Dumb-Mutt sure as hell is a lucky one”

Lan Jue’s response came in quiet, earnest tones “What I require from you is simple; don’t let him surpass you If you do, it’ll prove to me you don’t have what it take to be ht, that’s all for you today We’ll begin to will officially commence We’ll find somewhere else to er suitable”

“Yes, Professor” Tang Xiao rose, letting his respectful answer serve as goodbye
