"He took an incredible amount of damage," another instructor noted, replaying a slow-motion clip of Lucian being slammed through a rock formation by Boris. "The [Celestial Adamantine Body] must have a high damage reduction percentage. And his pain tolerance… or perhaps his regeneration negates the sensation of pain to a degree."
The red-haired instructor pressed on, "With this level of power… he might actually be able to contend with our elite students, the ones in the Sky Ravager class or even the Void Walker initiates. Perhaps not the top tiers yet, but he's already leagues above any other newcomer we've ever scouted."
A wave of nods and assenting murmurs went through the assembled instructors. The initial shock was giving way to a dawning realization of the sheer scale of Lucian's potential. He wasn't just a promising recruit; he was a phenomenon, a potential game-changer.
