Gong Liansheng nodded lightly upon hearing this, but the spark of interest in his eyes faded just as quickly, replaced by a trace of regret.
For several consecutive years, the North District had ranked last in the entrance examinations. Very few candidates from the North District managed to enter Western Mansion, and those who did rarely stood out.
The candidate before him was strong, yes. But being from the North District meant his prospects were still uncertain.
There was no need to place too much expectation on him.
The more one expected, the greater the disappointment tended to be.
Gong Liansheng had seen too many promising seedlings fail to grow under the harsh reality of Western Mansion.
Even if this Ryan possessed Spirit Realm strength or higher, that alone was not enough.
After all, the entrance examination was never a one-man show.
