The crowd only realized how fast Firey had been moving up when they heard the first person. They would need more time to light up the first level. Even the faster ones wouldn’t be able to light up two levels so quickly.

However, Firey had already lit up the first three levels, which demonstrated how talented she was.

“I don’t think Frost could move up this fast.”

“Frost took longer, but she doesn’t need to take that long!”

“I’m sure she can be faster than this girl if she wants to!”

“Even so, you still have to admit the girl’s extremely talented!”

They heard an emotionless voice while they were still talking. The person didn’t mean to sound cold. She was born this way.

Frost had arrived at the scene, dressed in black from head to toe. She was the person the others had been talking about.

“It’s true. It took me longer to get through the levels.” Frost was a pretty woman, but her aura reminded others of an iceberg.

“Who’s inside?” she asked with a frown.

No one answered as if they were afraid of talking to her. They didn’t even dare look her in the eye. Wherever Frost turned, the people in that spot shuddered, filling a chill run down their spines.

“Sir, she’s Frost. She and I are both core members of Elixir School. She was born in a snowy area not far from the Freezing Land, and that cold energy is nascent to her. The principal happened to travel through that region, so she brought her back,” Vin explained to Himmel Soan in a respectful tone.

Having sensed the terrifying pressure, she knew Himmel Soan had to be someone important. The principal must know he was here. Since she let this man walk around freely, it meant he was her friend or guest.

As the leading student of Elixir School, Vin had to entertain such an important man. She couldn’t give her the cold shoulder.

Himmel Soan nodded and looked at Frost. It was true. He had sensed the cold energy in her.

Meanwhile, Frost was also looking in his direction. Their eyes met.

Frost was surprised. This was the first time that someone didn’t react to her gaze and that someone was an ordinary man. She found it strange.

She then spotted Vin by Himmel Soan’s side, so she walked up to them.

“Vin, who’s this? Who’s in the tower?” Frost asked coldly.

Vin frowned and ignored her. Although they were both leading students, they hadn’t had much interaction. They hadn’t even exchanged more than a few words.

Frost’s indifferent tone made Vin uncomfortable.

“I don’t have an obligation to answer you,” Vin snorted and looked away.

Frost’s expression changed a little. She didn’t mean to sound so cold. It was supposed to be a mild tone, but when she spoke, she sounded indifferent.

She wanted to apologize, but she couldn’t say the words. It was as if she was meant to be so cold and distant.

“I’m just an ordinary man. There’s nothing curious about me. My daughter is in the tower. Is there any problem?” Himmel Soan answered the questions instead.

He could tell Frost didn’t mean to sound that way; it was just her nature. He didn’t mind her tone.

“I see.” Frost left. She was curious about what was going on, but staying here would only make other people uncomfortable. She would rather leave.

The others let out a breath of relief when Frost was gone.

Vin was also relieved. She was glad that Himmel Soan wasn’t upset by Frost’s attitude. Otherwise, she couldn’t predict what would happen.

“I’m sorry, Sir. Frost is always like that. She naturally sounds cold, so if she made you uncomfortable, I’d like to apologize to you on her behalf. I’m sorry!” Vin bowed at Himmel Soan again.

Himmel Soan waved her off. “I can see it. Her natural energy is affecting her personality.

“But that natural energy isn’t exactly a bad thing. At least, it’ll be easier for her to make cultivation achievements.”

Vin nodded.

Himmel Soan was right. Frost had amazing talent in cultivation. Although she and Frost were both leading students, she was far less capable than her.

“Look! Level five has lit up!” someone shouted.

The crowd looked at the tower and forgot about Frost. Yes, the fifth level had lit up!

Another round of discussion was started. Everybody wondered how far Firey would go.

Fifteen minutes passed, and the next two levels also lit up.

“OMG! She’s so talented! Calling her a genius is an understatement!”

“This is her first time, and she’s already reached level seven. I can’t imagine what she will achieve in the future!”

“That’s right. I’m still curious, though. Is seven her limit? I don’t think so!”

“If she lights up level eight, does that mean she’s one of the most talented people in Stelladom?”

“She lit up seven levels in her first try. Given time, she’ll become a great master! She’s already one of the most talented people I’ve seen!”

“What if she lights up level nine?”

“Then she’ll be as talented as you-know-who of the Tzi family.”

People quieted down when that person was mentioned. Were they going to have another crazy genius?

Firey seemed to be fulfilling her promise. She really was going to light up all nine levels!

No one thought she was joking anymore.
