Time passed by, and another five minutes had very quickly elapsed. This time, a lot of the people from Cangzhou University were much like Ye Xuan as they waited—very eager and expectant.
Ye Xuan had already known, through the discussions of some of the surrounding students, that the Beast Tamer bound to the Blight Butterfly was An Xue. She was a junior at Cangzhou University. When she was enrolled, her cultivation was already at Silver Level.
Three years has since gone by, and she was already a Gold Level Beast Tamer. A lot of people also estimated that she was not too far from becoming a Platinum Level Beast Tamer.
Such Talent was no less inferior to what Ye Xuan had seen online about Zhongzhou University senior Feng Xiangming, who was bound to a four-star Platinum Dragon Blood Peacock.
Whoosh!
As the crowd waited, a rather graceful and elegant figure suddenly stepped out of the Spirit Pagoda. This figure was An Xue.
She had been the last of the wave of students who had entered the Spirit Pagoda.
Ye Xuan looked at the time: six minutes and three seconds.
According to Cangzhou University’s track record, this time was more than sufficient for An Xue to snag a score of 91 points. What this meant to say was that, in the history of all the Spirit Pagoda rankings, An Xue was more than able to place second with three other people.
She was secondary only to the monster who placed first. As for the monster who placed first, it had already been decades since they appeared in this world.
Now, they had already become a Challenger-level Beast Tamer whose name was known throughout the whole of Cerulean Planet. He wondered what sort of reward a score of 91 points would merit.
Ye Xuan was expectant.
He was an apprentice-level Beast Tamer.
Of all apprentice-level Beast Tamers, he was aware that few of them would be a match for him.
“91 points with a timing of six minutes and three seconds, An Xue is amazing!”
At the same time as An Xue walked out of the Spirit Pagoda, a lot of the Cangzhou University students were cheering for her. An Xue’s power signified that Cangzhou University would be able to achieve greater result in the Hundred Academy Leagues of the future; she was the hope that Cangzhou University would improve. Lin Shiru, who was standing beside Ye Xuan, eyed him.
Whether it was Cangzhou University or Zhongzhou University, or even other of the top-ranking universities, this generation’s students were all geniuses in their own right. In comparison to that, Ye Xuan had been born a little later than all of them, even though he was a genius himself. By the time Ye Xuan could participate in the Hundred Academy League, these geniuses would unfortunately have already graduated from their respective universities.
Of course, this was a good thing for Jiangzhou University.
Whoosh!
Another wave of 100 students stepped into the Spirit Pagoda accompanied by the cheers of the other Cangzhou University students.
Ye Xuan’s heart slowly calmed as he watched the next few waves of Cangzhou University students step into the Spirit Pagoda, one after the other. He stood there quietly.
Using the Beast Editor, he looked at the different beasts around him with great interest. Once in a while, he was surprised. He waited just like this, and an hour had very quickly passed.
After such a long time had passed, barely a few Cangzhou University students were left.
On top of that, most of them were students from the high school affiliated to Cangzhou University.
“We don’t have a lot of Year 1 and Year 2 students, so it seems very likely that we’ll have to step into the Spirit Pagoda with that person with Jiangzhou University.”
Under such circumstances, a lot of the remaining Year 1 and Year 2 students lifted their heads to look at Ye Xuan. They were from different schools, so there was bound to be conflict after.
This conflict was one where they fought for themselves but also the reputation of their respective schools.
“Don’t worry, our school has Xu Canchan and Song Jia, there’s no way we’ll lose to this one,” one of the students from Cangzhou University’s affiliated high school very sincerely declared.
The Xu Canchan and Song Jia they so mentioned were the most outstanding of the Beast Tamers of the affiliated high school.
Ye Xuan heard the sounds of them discussing from far away, but he smiled and said nothing. Of course, he had also seen who Xu Canchan and Song Jia were. The two of them did not seem like ordinary people.
There was an enormous gold Buddha following behind Xu Canchan.
The Buddha was more than three meters tall and its entire body was resplendent. It was difficult to tell what it had been made of that afforded it such mobility. Especially its eyes of deep gold, one that sucked you in if you stared into them.
Just one look and anyone could tell that it was no ordinary thing.
Gigantic Buddha of Metal and Stone (☆☆☆☆☆)
Grade: Top-Level Apprentice
Abilities: Sturdy Buddha Body; Buddha Eyes; Stele-Splitting Buddha Strike
Ye Xuan took a look and immediately evaluated the nature of the Gigantic Buddha of Metal and Stone. This gigantic Buddha was, unsurprisingly, a five-star grade and top-level apprentice beast. The three abilities were also five-star grade.
This greatly intrigued Ye Xuan and he wonder how the Tyrannosaurus, which owned six five-star grade abilities, would fare against this. As for Song Jia, there was a gigantic, green-skinned monitor lizard beside her.
The monitor lizard was five or six meters long and there were innumerable meat buns of all sizes growing on its body. It had a forked tongue like a snake and it was swallowing constantly. Ye Xuan also evaluated the nature of this giant monitor lizard.
It was also a five-star grade, apprentice level beast.
This was the Toxic Emerald Tree Monitor King. It had an incomparable toxin, and there were few beasts on the same level that could survive its bite.
Of course, the Toxic Emerald Tree Monitor King had great limitations as well. If it ran into unique lifeforms such as the Tyrannosaurus or the Gigantic Buddha of Metal and Stone, its toxin would not be very effective.
“Vice Dean Lin.” Xu Younian, who had been walking for quite a while, walked over from the distance at this time. He looked at Lin Shiru and said, “This training at the Spirit Pagoda is about to end, you can let your student enter with my last batch.”
“Alright.”
Lin Shiru nodded, and then signaled to Ye Xuan with a tilt of her head, “Go on.”
Ye Xuan said nothing.
He only nodded slightly. And then, together with the last wave of students from the affiliated high school, he walked through the black doors of the Spirit Pagoda that lay wide open.
Doong!
As the space warped and made waves, Ye Xuan felt himself suddenly disappear from where he stood when he walked into the Spirit Pagoda. He appeared in the middle of a room made of black stone.
“Please carry out the evaluation of the Beast Tamer’s Aptness Level.”
As soon as he appeared here, an aged voice suddenly rang out in the space. Following which, there was a translucent white orb of light then appeared beside him. Ye Xuan let his gaze fall upon this orb of light.
A message immediately appeared in his heart.
He knew he had to hold this orb of light in his hand, so it would carry out the evaluation of his Beast Tamer Aptness Level.
“Evaluation my Beast Tamer Aptness Level?”
Ye Xuan was a little hesitant, so he reached a hand out and grabbed the white globe. He thought about this issue quite a bit. He knew he would be unable to complete the trials if he did not go through with this evaluation.
If that happened, there was no way he could explain any of this to Lin Shiru who had paid such a huge price to bring him here to this place.
Doong!
As Ye Xuan grabbed the white orb of light in his hand, the orb immediately quaked.
It sent a message right to his heart.
“Dark Iron, Bronze, Silver… Challenger, Legend, Monarch…???”
As the message ran its course, it tapered off into a series of question marks.
“What the hell?”
Ye Xuan was shocked. While he was still shocked, Lin Shiru and the rest of the instructors and students of Cangzhou University who were waiting outside realized something.
They all noticed something about the looming and magnificent Spirit Pagoda that cannot be felled.
Not long after Ye Xuan and the wave of students walked in, it had actually trembled slightly.
