Passed the Assessment

"Mr. Nong? Please come in."

Ye Xuan invited Nong Lejia inside.

Ye Xuan had heard of this man before and instantly knew who he was by his distinctive appearnce.

After all, there were very few Beast Tamers who were bald.

It was said that this person had been admitted to Jiangzhou University six years ago. He had returned to Yunhai City a month ago and had become an assistant teacher of Yunhai City's Beast Taming Class.

"Yep, that's me. I received a call from my teacher. He told me to come to your place and evaluate your Beast Taming aptitude." Upon entering Ye Xuan's room, Nong Lejia went straight to the point.

He wasn't in a hurry to work on building an amicable relationship with Ye Xuan right off the bat.

Now, his top priority was to test whether Ye Xuan's aptitude was truly so powerful that he could conjure two Beast Seeds immediately after awakening his Beast Taming aptitude.

"No problem." Ye Xuan nodded and said, "What should I do to cooperate?"

"It's simple," Nong Lejia said with a smile. "According to my teacher's instructions, we don't need to do anything special. We just need to test whether you really have two Beast Seeds.

"So, for this assessment, you just have to communicate with your Beast Seeds and funnel your mind energy into both simultaneously."

As he spoke, he took out two white, crystal-clear beads.

"Uhm…"

Ye Xuan was taken aback. "I'm sorry," he said. "I only have one Beast Seed with me right now. I've already used the other seed."

"You already used the other seed, you said?"

A look of surprise appeared on Nong Jiale's face. After a momentary pause, he said, "That's not a problem, but what beast did you choose to be your first?"

"This is my first beast."

Ye Xuan stretched out his hand, allowing Lil Wan to land on his palm.

"An elf?"

Nong Jiale's mouth immediately dropped wide open. "My brother, you mustn't use your Beast Seeds indiscriminately. Forming a contract with an elf is a waste of precious Beast Seed."

"It's not a waste." Ye Xuan shook his head. "Her name is Lil Wan, one of my dearest companions.

"Besides, I have a special talent. After I contracted Lil Wan, I acquired a method to raise her star rating. As of now, she's already a three-star Ancient Wood Elf.

"I have a way to make her a five-star Divine Wood Elf once she breaks into the Dark Iron Level."

Ye Xuan made no secret of his talent.

In this era, the stronger a person's talent, the more attention that person would get.

By showcasing his extraordinary talent, Jiangzhou University would only value him even more.

And give him more benefits.

"A three-star Ancient Wood Elf? Didn't you just awaken your Beast Taming aptitude?"

Nong Jiale couldn't believe it.

He had just awakened his Beast Taming aptitude, so how could he have already upgraded his one-star beast so quickly?

And no matter how he looked at Lil Wan, he felt that she was nothing more than an elf.

He could draw no relationship between her and the Ancient Wood Elves that had pointy ears and dark green skin.

"Lil Wan." Ye Xuan waved his hand and made Lil Wan levitate in front of him.

"How dare he not believe Ye Xuan and me!" Lil Wan thought.

(・_・)ノ⌒●~*!! Hmph.

Understanding Ye Xuan's intention, she extended her hand forward, and immediately, a vine of the Ironwood Thorn, which was as thick as an iron chain, whizzed out of her hand and slashed through the air, emitting ear-piercing whipping sounds.

"Is she really an Ancient Wood Elf?" Nong Jiale asked with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He couldn't believe that he had actually misjudged him.

Thinking about this, he immediately said, "Alright, I get it. Rest assured, my report about you will be nothing but truthful!"

"But getting back to the assessment, you only have to communicate with your remaining Beast Seed and then funnel your Mind Energy into this Beast Pearl."

After saying all this, he felt indescribably envious.

He had enrolled at Jiangzhou University six years ago.

Now, he was already a Silver-Level Beast Tamer at the peak of his rank.

But he only had four beasts in his possession.

And all four beasts he had were at the Silver Level.

In spite of this, two of his beasts had already reached their peak. Unless he upgraded them, it would be very difficult for the beasts to acquire any further improvements.

Of the remaining two, one was a two-star Silver-Level beast, while the other was a three-star Silver-Level beast.

In other words, only one of his beasts had a chance of advancing to the Platinum Level.

But as for Ye Xuan, if he could really cultivate a Divine Wood Elf, then Ye Xuan's first beast could possibly evolve into a Platinum-Level beast.

As Nong Jiale wallowed in his emotions, Ye Xuan responded, "Got it." Next, he focused his consciousness, and his Mind Energy quickly gushed out and rushed into the Beast Pearl before him.

It was the Spirit Ocean that Beast Tamers cultivated.

As a Beast Tamer's Spirit Ocean grew, so did their Mind Energy.

Because Ye Xuan was now a Beast Tamer, he was able to channel his Mind Energy out of his body.

What's more, not knowing if it was the effect of his Mythic-Level Beast Taming Aptitude or Lil Wan's reverse nurturing, his Mind Energy was evidently a lot stronger than that of most Beast Tamers who had just awakened their Beast Taming aptitude.

Bzzz!

In an instant, the white Beast Pearl in front of Ye Xuan slightly quivered and rose into the air.

"Alright, that's enough."

Nong Jiale grabbed the levitating Beast Pearl.

Then, with a smile on his face, he said to Ye Xuan, "Congratulations, you've passed the test. If nothing else, when the school learns about your talent, they will definitely do whatever it takes to get you to enroll.

"Besides, according to the task my teacher gave me, if you pass the test, you can ask me if you need any help before someone from the school is dispatched to you. This is my phone number.

"Of course, with your extraordinary aptitude, I guess those geezers from the school will come running to you tomorrow."

"You flatter me, Brother Nong." Ye Xuan smiled and put Nong Jiale's phone number in his phone.

...

After leaving Ye Xuan's room, Nong Jiale had an ecstatic expression on his face and even snapped his fingers uncontrollably.

This time, he had come swiftly and departed with haste.

After all, this was the first time he'd visited Ye Xuan, and his only goal was to get acquainted with him.

He didn't have plans to make friends with Ye Xuan right off the bat.

That simply wasn't realistic.

However, Ye Xuan was from Yunhai City, and he was also from Yunhai City. There were still many opportunities for them to meet up in the future.

He believed that sincerity could always move people.

The only trouble was that he had a big bald head.

He'd probably have a much easier time persuading Ye Xuan if he were a pretty chick.

On the way back to school, Nong Lejia took out his phone and called his tutor.

"Sir, I've met Ye Xuan. He not only has two Beast Seeds, but he's even more of a genius than what you described."

A cold voice came from the other end of the phone. "More of a genius?"

"Yes."

Nong Lejia immediately told him about how Ye Xuan had already used a seed to form a contract with Lil Wan.

"According to what Ye Xuan told me, when his elf, who has already evolved into an Ancient Wood Elf, reaches the Dark Iron Level, he can further upgrade it into a five-star Divine Wood Elf.

"Five-star Divine Wood Elf?"

The person on the other end of the phone grew silent for a moment.

After some time, he said, "Alright, I've got it. Take care of Ye Xuan on your end. The school will dispatch someone as soon as possible."

"Rest assured, sir. I promise to complete the mission!" Nong Jiale immediately promised.

...

After Nong Jiale left, Lil Wan hovered in front of Ye Xuan and asked curiously, "Ye Xuan, are we going to Jiangzhou University in the future?"

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "Yep. Jiangzhou University is pretty great. Even though I could definitely get into Zhongzhou University with my aptitude, Jiangzhou University will be able to provide me with more resources than Zhongzhou University.

"In comparison, I think Jiangzhou University, which is closer to home, is better."

"Makes sense." Lil Wan nodded.

Having lived in Yunhai City for more than ten years, they couldn't bear to move too far away from home.

The Country of Xia was a vast territory with abundant resources.

The prefecture of Jiangzhou alone covered an area of more than 9 million square kilometers.

If they went to Zhongzhou, they would really be too far away from home.

Click!

At that moment, there was the sound of someone unlocking the door.

"Dad and mom are back."

Ye Xuan looked at the time and saw that it was about the time when Ye Guotao and Su Yunmeng usually returned home.

A smile appeared on his face.

This time, he would give them a big surprise.
