After Jian Ying finished explaining what happened, You Xiao was stunned speechless.
Fang Xiu had hunted down all those Celestial Net Illusionary Serpent Lions almost single-handedly.
That was nearly a hundred Level 40 Demon Beasts!
"Wait, did you just say that Fang Xiu is only Level 27?"
Just then, You Xiao, still in shock, realized the crucial point.
It seemed Jian Ying had just said that Fang Xiu was only Level 27.
People like them, who had reached Level 40, couldn’t even defeat thirty Celestial Net Illusionary Serpent Lions on their own, let alone nearly a hundred!
But Fang Xiu actually did it?
Honestly, You Xiao found it hard to believe.
But he still had some trust in Jian Ying’s words.
If it were Du Wan and the others who had said it, You Xiao might not have believed them at all.
But Jian Ying had a high standing here. He had to seriously consider that what she said might be true—that Fang Xiu had really accomplished it.
"Is what they said true?"
You Xiao looked at Fang Xiu and asked directly.
Then he stared intently at him.
"I guess so, if that’s what they said."
Fang Xiu wasn’t trying to show off.
He was more concerned about the mention of other people from before.
After he spoke, Jian Ying and the others fell silent, and You Xiao had immediately changed the subject.
It was all a bit strange.
But since Jian Ying and the others weren’t talking, Fang Xiu didn’t feel it was his place to ask directly.
’Maybe it’s something I’m not supposed to know yet.’
"Seriously, I find it hard to believe. You’re just too young. But I trust Sister Jian, so... can you let me see for myself?"
You Xiao spoke again.
This time, his words piqued Fang Xiu’s interest.
"See? How?"
Fang Xiu asked.
"Sister Jian mentioned it earlier. My ability is Perception. I can sense not only Demon Beasts, but people too. I can sense how much Energy a person has, and even get a glimpse of their future."
You Xiao was very confident in his own ability.
Perception!
Whether it was Demon Beasts or people.
He could perceive certain special things about them.
"The future? Isn’t that a Prophet’s job?"
Fang Xiu countered.
"Well, I don’t perceive future events or see fortunes and misfortunes. To be more precise, I see a person’s potential."
You Xiao thought for a moment and said.
"Potential?"
Fang Xiu was a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected there to be such an ability.
He nodded. "Alright, then take a look."
"My apologies in advance, then."
You Xiao smiled faintly, then looked at Fang Xiu and barked, "Eyes Open!"
Instantly, his eyes began to glow with a white light.
"Peer!"
He spoke again.
He used a second Skill.
From his eyes, a beam of light shone directly onto Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed slightly. He had the illusion of being seen through completely.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
"This..."
The light dissipated. You Xiao stared at Fang Xiu, his face a mask of shock.
He was in utter disbelief.
"What’s wrong? What did you see?"
Seeing this, Fan Gang, who was standing to the side, asked curiously.
"N-Nothing... Fang Xiu is a true prodigy."
You Xiao shook his head.
He didn’t say anything more.
This made everyone who knew him feel a bit puzzled.
This wasn’t like You Xiao at all. He would normally say whatever was on his mind, no matter who he was looking at.
He would even mock those with little potential.
But everyone was used to it.
They just hadn’t expected him to react this way when looking at Fang Xiu. It was obvious he had seen something.
"Playing mysterious, are we?"
Du Wan said with a sigh.
"No, Fang Xiu’s potential is limitless. My ability isn’t enough to see through it, that’s all."
You Xiao explained.
But only he knew the truth. When he was peering into Fang Xiu’s potential, he felt as if he had fallen into a whirlpool, his body and consciousness completely sucked in.
He almost couldn’t get back.
Fortunately, he cut off the peering in time and barely managed to escape.
But the feeling still left his heart pounding with fear.
You Xiao had never experienced anything like this from anyone before.
"Awesome! Fang Xiu, although Xiaohai looks a bit unreliable, his ability is still quite powerful. You’re the first person he’s ever said that about."
Fan Gang chimed in from the side.
"Mm, thank you."
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
He was well aware of his own potential.
His SSS Level Talent was enough for him to surpass countless others.
And his Profession as a Sacrificial Master brought him infinite possibilities.
Since he started using Sacrifice, the things he had obtained and the abilities he had gained had already allowed him to surpass countless peers and countless experts of the same Level.
This was what gave him infinite possibilities. This was what "limitless potential" truly meant.
"Fang Xiu is an SSS Level Talent Awakener. His abilities are naturally powerful, and his potential is naturally high."
At this moment, Jian Ying also spoke up. "Everyone go back and rest. Today’s battle was tiring enough. We’ll hold a welcome party for Fang Xiu tonight."
"There’s a welcome party?"
Fang Xiu hadn’t expected that.
When he first arrived, he felt that everyone was quite cold.
’Perhaps they just felt there was no need to waste time that could be spent hunting Demon Beasts.’
He hadn’t thought there would be a welcome party.
"It’s a simple get-together, a chance to get to know each other. If you need anything in the future, you can contact each other."
Jian Ying explained briefly.
Fang Xiu also nodded slightly.
’They probably can’t hold a formal welcome gala out here anyway.’
"I’d like to go for a walk and get familiar with the area."
