The teachers who were acting as judges to ensure the correct use of the languages sprang up with a smack on the table. Some of the students might have never heard of the languages rolling off Yun Jian’s tongue but the teachers were more experienced. They might not be able to understand certain foreign languages but they knew which language it was.
Needless to say, what came out of Yun Jian’s mouth was actual, discernible foreign languages! The girl had even spoken over ten of them! D-di she… Had she been learning them since she was in her mother’s womb?
A female teacher at the judging panel stood up in shock holding the table. Her astounded gaze on Yun Jian was obvious to everyone there.
“Ms.—Ms. Lin Dan…” a male teacher called the female teacher when he saw her standing up.
The female teacher addressed as Ms. Lin Dan went to Yun Jian after she got up with big, round, widened eyes as if they could see through everything.
Coming to Yun Jian, Ms. Lin Dan looked at her and asked in disbelief, “You… You really know more than ten foreign languages?”
Everyone there was dumbstruck when they heard the teacher.
Ms. Lin Dan was the foreign language teacher of the highest level in Foreign Languages High School. To date, she has mastered five foreign languages and held significant status among the teachers in Zhe Province.
“Mn,” Yun Jian replied the teacher with a faint hum before shifting her eyes to Ji Xuetang who was trembling in shock.
All this while, there were only cases of Yun Jian challenging others. Never would there be cases of others challenging her. Hence, Yun Jian was not afraid of exposing herself nor was she scared of being suspected.
She looked up, fixing a straight stare at Ji Xuetang, and clapped back at her like how Ji Xuetang had challenged her just now. “Still going on with the competition? Pick any language all around the world. I’ll be glad to play along.”
Yun Jian blinked innocently like she was thoroughly harmless after she spoke and smiled.
“Right, I forgot to tell you. Other than knowing a couple of foreign languages, I know some of the countries’ dialects as well. What do you think? Let’s compete on that? I think we can still go 100 rounds on it.”
If one must ask why Yun Jian knew so many foreign languages, it was because she had gone all over the world in her previous life as Slaying God. The missions she was on and the targets of her assassination were notable figures across the globe.
To kill them, she had to sneak in and blend herself in; to do that, she had to first learn the local language.
Yun Jian learned fast and precisely. She could basically master the simplest conversations of a country within the shortest duration. Nevertheless, she could only talk in most of the languages she picked up other than languages like English or Chinese that were used more widely. If she had to write in those foreign languages, her level would probably only allow her to write a few words.
Yun Jian’s provoking words made the audience laugh heartily. Soon, discussions and comments bubbled in the venue again.
“Haha, this is exciting. This girl knows over ten foreign languages!”
“It’s amazing! I thought that Ji Xuetang was the foreign languages genius—the best student in Longmen City, but there’s always someone better! Now that this girl is known… Foreign languages prodigy Ji Xuetang you say? Please, she isn’t worth mentioning next to this girl!”
“Yeah! Ji Xuetang’s my schoolmate. Back when she got titled the foreign languages prodigy, you should see how she preened. It’s like she’s unbeatable in this world. Hah, let’s see how she’s going to boast now!”
