Upon Ya Ling's remark, all the teachers' gazes were concentrated on her, their looks filled with the same incredulity as one would cast towards an imbecile.
Ge Lanxue's face flushed red and then turned pale; she could not fathom how her clan leader cousin had managed to raise such a daughter. How could Ya Ning, pure as jade and exceptionally clever, have such a sister?
Master Yipiao remained unangered, continuing to speak gently, "The path of magic practice differs for everyone; the existence of grade differences is not absolute. Cross-tier battles are not uncommon, and there have been many instances where the lower-tiered have triumphed over the higher-tiered. The difference within the same grade but different ranks are even more negligible, and it's quite normal for a lower rank to defeat a higher rank."
It must be said, Master Yipiao's demeanor was truly that of an admirable figure, providing a well-reasoned and calm explanation in response to Ya Ling's challenge.
