Huangfu Ming was just as astounded.
Back when he assessed and approved Lin Jin's entrance into the Friar Association, he did not anticipate the beast appraiser to turn out to be this prodigious.
Honestly speaking, he regretted his decision slightly.
Should he have taken Lin Jin in back then?
But after thinking twice, Huangfu Ming had his principles he remained loyal to, and that was, he required his students to focus all their attention on cultivation. He did not tolerate half-heartedness in his students, which he was still doubtful that Lin Jin could pull off.
Hence, as amazed by Lin Jin's blood contract realm level he was, Huangfu Ming had to uphold his rules.
Besides this, Huangfu Ming had other doubts.
He was worried that he wouldn't be able to teach someone like Lin Jin.
And so, him coming over was just to confirm the truth in the invigilating elders' statements.
