C13 – A True Genius
The room was shrouded in silence.
It took over ten seconds before soone couldn’t resist whispering.
“He’s incredible!”
That remark shattered the silence, sparking a flurry of excitent among the crowd.
“He actually pulled off the challenge!”
“What was that skill? It’s insanely powerful!”
“Superior grade difficulty! I never imagined I’d see soone conquer it with my own eyes!”
A stream of exclamations followed.
Everyone was engulfed in profound amazent.
Until today, they couldn’t have fathod anyone passing the superior grade test, especially not an eighteen-year-old high school student.
It was beyond belief!
Qin Ai gazed at Xie Yang on the screen, dumbfounded. It took him a while to exhale deeply.
“I didn’t expect it to turn out this way.”
Shui Zhongzhen, standing next to him, was equally unable to conceal his astonishnt.
Both were esteed silver Beastmasters, seasoned and worldly.
They had encountered nurous young Beastmasters with exceptional gifts.
Ordinary prodigies no longer amazed them.
Yet, they had never before seen a prodigy like Xie Yang.
At just eighteen, Xie Yang had already conquered the superior grade Apprentice Assessnt. They had never before witnessed soone of such formidable strength and talent.
“He’s a true prodigy,” Qin Ai remarked, his tone laced with awe.
“What a sha he’s still a student. Otherwise, I’d recruit him to our Beastmaster Association branch in a heartbeat. Missing out on a talent like him now, I might never get the chance again.”
Shui Zhongzhen nodded in agreent.
Having seen Xie Yang’s prowess, his previous skepticism had vanished, replaced by sheer admiration.
For a mont, he was filled with a sense of regret for the talent that might slip away.
Alas, Xie Yang was set on attending the Beastmaster Academy, making it impossible for him to join the Beastmaster Association.
Once Bai Tian and the other two girls snapped out of their initial shock, they were swept up in a wave of elation.
The trio embraced, hopping around in a frenzy of excitent.
“Xie is too amazing! To tackle the superior grade difficulty!”
“I’ve made up my mind! Xie Yang is my idol from now on!”
Bai Tian watched her two close friends with a beaming smile. Their excited cheers filled the air, mirroring the imnse joy in her heart.
Up until this morning, she had assud Xie Yang was simply accompanying her to the Beastmaster Association. The thought of him participating in the Apprentice Assessnt, let alone conquering the superior grade challenge, had never crossed her mind. The scene unfolding before her seed almost dreamlike.
She looked up at Xie on the screen, her eyes gleaming with bright light.
Unaware of the excitent outside, Xie Yang was engrossed in the System Panel before him. Following his triumph, a reward was promptly bestowed upon him. A wave of invisible yet palpable energy instantly shrouded him, leaving him feeling invigorated—a sensation reminiscent of rging with a Soul Crystal.
Revisiting the System Panel, he noted a significant boost—his soul attribute had surged by five points. And this was rely the start.
A warm surge erged in his abdon, transforming into a vibrant life force that coursed through his body, refining and fortifying him hundreds of tis over in a fleeting mont. As the sensation faded, Xie Yang’s physical attribute had risen by three points.
Xie Yang’s stats were now as follows:
Physical Strength: 5.0 / Soul Strength: 7.8
Level: Apprentice
Soul Power: 780/780
Soul Technique: None
Pet: Ice Crystal Soul
Achievent Points: 3
A smile flickered across his face as he absorbed the figures on his personal panel. Normally, enhancing Soul Strength was a daunting task. Beyond the use of precious treasures for tempering, Soul Strength typically grew through diligent, gradual cultivation.
The Beastmaster Association’s official data indicated that apprentice Beastmasters usually had a Soul Strength ranging from 2 to 5. Only a select few who passed the higher-level assessnts could reach a Soul Strength of about 6 after consuming substantial treasures.
With a Soul Strength of 7.8, Xie Yang’s abilities soared beyond the norm. He eclipsed his peers and could even hold his own against so Bronze Beastmasters with lower Soul Strength. His physical prowess was exceptional too, surpassing that of the Bronze Beastmasters.
Please select the pet you wish to enhance with additional Growth Points!
A chanical voice jolted Xie Yang awake.
He then recalled that one of the rewards from the baptism was a ‘30% Growth Point increase for a specified pet beast.’
Without hesitation, Xie Yang chose the Ice Crystal Soul, his only pet beast.
In an instant, the Ice Crystal Soul shimred with a brilliant light.
Na: Ice Crystal Soul
Type: Ice
Level: Third Rank, First Layer
Growth Point: 84%
Skills: Ice Awl, Ice Breathing, Extre Ice Chain
This was part of the Queen’s Route. Its next evolutionary form was the snow girl, requiring the following conditions: 100% Growth Point, 20 Middle Rank Ice Elent Essences, and 1 Heart of Ice.
“It’s advanced to the third rank!”
Xie Yang was ecstatic.
The power difference between a second-rank and a third-rank pet beast was incomparable.
A third-rank, first-layer pet beast could easily take on four or five second-rank, ninth-layer pet beasts.
The disparity in their strength was imnse.
Undoubtedly, this enhancent had significantly boosted his power.
“Truly, a superior grade baptism yields a remarkable increase in strength!”
“And it’s even granted
the ability to place a second pet beast!”
For a Beastmaster to expand their roster of contracted beasts, the sole path was to clear the Beastmaster qualification exam and receive the baptism from the Stone Tablet of Origin.
There was no alternative.
Moreover, they had to secure at least a higher-level baptism.
Many Beastmasters would delay their assessnt until they felt confident in their strength, only then facing the more challenging levels of the exam.
It’s important to note that there are restrictions on the level of pet a Beastmaster can contract in the second pet slot—the maximum level cannot exceed the third rank.
“It looks like I’ll need to make ti to visit the pet store and find a suitable pet to contract.”
Xie Yang mused.
As the baptism concluded, a prompt announcing the achievent completion popped up.
Apprentice Beastmasters: You have passed the Apprentice Beastmaster Assessnt and completed your first baptism. You’ve earned an achievent, along with 200 achievent points and a Soul Crystal x1 (completed, reward pending collection).
Xie Yang promptly claid his reward.
As soon as he completed the task, his vision blurred unexpectedly.
Regaining his bearings, he opened his eyes to discover he had returned to the real world.
“Brother!”
Barely on his feet, Bai Tian rushed over with joy and wrapped her arms around his.
Moo Shuqin and Zou Xinrui approached, their eyes filled with admiration as they gazed at him.
All around, people turned their attention his way.
Expressions of shock, envy, and awe painted their faces.
In that mont, Xie Yang was the center of everyone’s attention.
