Silence.
An awkward silence lasted for a good ten seconds or more.
The first to react wasn't just anyone—it was Chairman Wang, the very man who, just moments ago, had been sternly pressuring Gu Yuexi to hand over her treasure!
The expression on his face changed several times, the shifts visible to the naked eye.
Finally, he slapped his thigh and burst out laughing. "Excellent! Truly excellent! What a successful absorption! A hero emerges from the youth! Gu's temperament, her boldness, her decisiveness! It's truly extraordinary!"
"Now that she's absorbed the Spiritual Crystal, she has a chance at reaching King-level in the future! Her potential is limitless! Our Sui Ming Province has produced a dragon! Hahaha!"
The crowd of students below: "..."
"That's right, that's right! Chairman Wang is absolutely correct!"
