"Black-rank disciple?"
Lin Shen had just reported to the academy today, so he was a new student.
But how could a new student be a Black-rank disciple?
Tao wondered if he had heard it correctly.
"Yes, he's a Black-rank disciple!"
Kou Ming chuckled, clearly very satisfied with Tao's astonishment.
"Junior Brother Lin defeated the senior students in the guided battle and performed exceptionally well. Master Si personally ordered him to be promoted to a Black-rank disciple!"
Tao was immediately filled with deep veneration. When he looked at Lin Shen again, his expression was already fawning and solicitous.
The genius that Master Si valued would definitely have a bright future. He couldn't be neglected!
"Nice to meet you. My name is Tao Zongbao. You can call me Old Tao!"
"Nice to meet you. Just call me Lin Shen." Lin Shen cupped his hands.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kou Ming went straight to the point.
