"Orlando of Grade 12 Class 4, please come to the awakening platform!"
As the teacher in front of the stage announced his name, a male student walked up to the platform under the gaze of many of his classmates.
A dazzling blue light rose from under the male student's feet, marking the beginning of the Beast-Taming Ceremony.
Then, everyone saw a huge crimson plant slowly appearing behind Li Tie. The first step of the awakening ceremony was to transform into a beast tamer.
This red plant looked similar to a Venus flytrap, but was too large in size. The pair of leaf pods that looked like bloody mouths at the top alone were three or four meters long!
The teacher next to the awakening platform looked at the information board in his hand, and the results of this student's awakening ceremony were revealed one by one.
"Orlando of Grade 12 Class 4, Grade C beast taming talent, with an exclusive plant-based beast taming ability. Silver-Level Red Blood Beast Taming Grass!"
As the dazzling light of the awakening stone disappeared, Li Tie's face was first stunned on the platform, then he couldn't help but show an excited expression!
The white-haired old man who heard the results of the ceremony also flashed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. For a beast tamer in a small city, a silver-grade beast was already considered strong enough.
This was definitely the beginning of this year's awakening ceremony!
…
"Next! Bell from Class 7 of Grade 12, please come up to the platform!"
Upon hearing this, Bell stepped onto the awakening platform with a slightly nervous expression.
As the various instruments were adjusted, the staff indicated that the awakening ceremony could begin.
The next moment.
A dazzling light shone under Bell's feet. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, hoping for a combat-type profession. In his heart, he silently prayed, "I hope I can get an S-rank beast taming talent!"
The faculty member looked at the information board as usual, but when he saw the value displayed on it, he was stunned.
He even hesitated to believe his own eyes until he repeatedly confirmed it. With a trembling voice, he shouted, "Bell from Class 7 of Grade 12, your Beast Taming Talent is…
"S-rank!"
As soon as he said this…
A student in the audience exclaimed, "Oh my god! S-rank beast taming talent?! Only a few dozen people in the whole league have it!"
"It must be a mistake with the instruments. There has never been an S-rank Beast Taming Talent in our Northern Territory Alliance before!"
"Yeah, I think there must have been a mistake in that segment!"
The students below the stage had different expressions on their faces. Some of them were extremely shocked, while others had expressions of disbelief. They all questioned the authenticity of the ceremony results.
Others below the stage were shocked beyond belief. Even the white-haired elder, Golan, had a change in expression, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
It was no wonder that everyone reacted so strongly. An S-rank beast taming talent was an extremely rare talent.
Throughout the entire history of the Alliance Kingdom, only a handful of people possessed such a talent, all of whom were outstanding figures of their time.
"If Bell really has an S-rank beast taming talent, will his exclusive beast be one of the three legendary mythical beasts?!"
"Could it be a dragon-type beast? And it has to be the kind with a diamond-level bloodline talent, an incredibly powerful true dragon-type Beast!"
"That's too small of a scale! For such an exceptional beast taming talent, the exclusive beast at the very least should be an immortal-level one!"
"Wow! If that's the case, the title of the strongest beast tamer in the Northern Territory will likely change hands!"
At this point, everyone began to speculate about Bell's exclusive beast. In the past, the idea of having one of the three legendary mythical beasts as an exclusive beast was something people could only dream of.
But now, they might very well witness the birth of a legend with their own eyes, causing many students to become excited!
Just as everyone was discussing non-stop, the beast transformation officially began!
Instantly, the entire field fell silent. Even Golan, who had seen many storms, held his breath!
For a moment, all eyes were on Bell on the awakening platform!
"Dong!"
A loud noise came from the formation on the awakening platform, and a yellow beam of light illuminated Bell's entire body, revealing an indescribable object slowly emerging behind him.
"Eh! What… what's this yellow thing?"
Just then…
Someone reached out and pointed to the blob-shaped object enveloped in the dim beam of light behind Bell.
"Is the beam of light for beast transformation yellow? Could it be a gold-level beast? That doesn't make sense…"
"Yeah, for an S-rank genius's exclusive beast, it should at least be platinum-rank…"
…
"Bell from Grade 12 Class 7. His exclusive beast is the Strange Bronze-Level Slime…"
After repeated confirmations by the faculty, the type of Bell's exclusive beast was finally announced.
"…"
The entire field fell silent, and everyone looked at the faculty member with question marks on their faces.
And for good reason.
Among the countless types of beasts, it was hard to find one weaker than Slime.
If dragon-type beasts were the ceiling of beast power, then the status of Slime was undoubtedly as low as the floor, weak to the extreme!
With the addition of a bronze-level bloodline talent, it was undoubtedly even lower than the floor, belonging to the basement…
"I personally set up the formation for this Awakening Ceremony. There can be no mistake! But this child's situation…"
Golan was the first to react amidst the stunned emotions, and with just a sway of his body, he appeared next to the faculty member on the awakening platform and whispered a few words in their ear.
The faculty member nodded in agreement and loudly announced to the crowd, "Due to data errors in the awakening instrument, Bell's beast talent has been downgraded to F-level!"
The crowd was first stunned, then a look of understanding appeared on their faces.
"I knew it. How could such a genius be born in our small town? It turns out the instrument was wrong…"
"Yeah… it's a shame. If this student were really an S-class genius, we could have basked in some glory as classmates, and had some material to brag about in the future. It's a shame…"
""Well, not necessarily. Compared to the upper limit, this Zhang student may not be good, but can't we compare to the lower limit! F-level beast talent, plus the bronze-level Slime, I'd like to call him the weakest beast tamer in history!"
"Hey! You know what, the weakest beast talent paired with the worst beast, it's really a match made in heaven! I'm sure these students will go far and wide! He has successfully refreshed the lower limit of beast tamer strength!"
At this point, the crowd clearly had a different attitude, going from praising to disparaging and ridiculing.
