It wasn't just Su Yuan; the hundreds of students still trialing in the secret realm all received a prompt from their locators.
"Hey, Pan Zi, there's actually a BOSS not too far from us, want to check it out?"
"Really go? Shouldn't we focus on hunting more Star Apprentice-level Star Beasts?"
"Just taking a look won't hurt; it won't take much time."
"Well... okay, let's go."
...
"Zheng Qi, it looks like the BOSS is heading our way."
"It really does, let's get out of the way quick!"
"Aren't you curious what it looks like?"
"With our strength, we're barely able to handle Ninth Stage Star Beasts. There's an old saying that curiosity killed the cat; we need to have some sense!"
...
Somewhere west central.
"BOSS?"
Fang Kun looked at the marker on the map, the corners of his mouth curling as he pulled the long knife embedded in the corpse of a Star Beast at his feet, quickly heading toward the marked location.
...
An hour later, Su Yuan opened his map; the BOSS marked in black was now less than two kilometers away.
Furthermore, Su Yuan could faintly hear sounds from ahead, mingled with cries of alarm from other students.
"Run, quick!"
"This guy is too terrifying!"
"..."
Su Yuan agilely climbed a large tree beside him, looking into the direction of the noises from afar.
He only saw dust rising and birds scattering, as if something was rampaging through the forest, knocking down vegetation and trees to either side as it went.
Su Yuan muttered, "It seems that it's that BOSS. It's a pity it's too far to see clearly."
The trees in the forest obscured the view; at such a distance, it was nearly impossible to see what it looked like.
Su Yuan leapt from the tree and rushed forward to see what it was.
Soon enough, he got his answer.
Before long, a male student from his school ran toward Su Yuan in a fluster.
Seeing Su Yuan walking deeper, the student still took a moment to shout, "Run! An Earth Element Beast is ahead, and you won't be able to escape if it catches you!"
Earth Element Beast?
Su Yuan was initially startled, then a surge of exhilaration overwhelmed him.
It was an Earth Element Beast!
An Earth Element Beast, not only an Elite Star Beast but also a powerful one among them.
However, its strength did not come from its Six-dimensional Attributes but from its signature skill, one of the finest skills among numerous green skills—Elemental Magnetism Pressure.
[Elemental Magnetism Pressure, green skill, can alter the gravity within a certain range using Earth Magnetic Power.]
It was a super-strong invisible control skill, useful against single or multiple targets, and it also allowed for some offensive capacity; as a control skill, it was definitely Tier-1.
Besides, Elemental Magnetism Pressure had a very special trait.
The alteration of gravity by Elemental Magnetism Pressure was not solely about increasing gravity; it could also lighten gravity.
It is said that when Elemental Magnetism Pressure cultivation reached Perfection, one could achieve short-term levitation!
Keep in mind, over 99% of Low Stage Star Card Masters are incapable of levitating, which absolutely makes others green with envy!
So, a T1 level top-tier control plus levitation... have no doubt, that's a T0 Divine Skill!
Although there was only a small chance to extract Elemental Magnetism Pressure from the Earth Origin Beast Star Core, and it took a lot of time and energy to cultivate Elemental Magnetism Pressure to Perfection to achieve levitation.
But for Su Yuan, that was not a problem!
Card extraction + card decomposition, and it's done~
It's just about spending more time hunting a vast amount of Star Dust.
"Elemental Magnetism Pressure, this skill must be obtained no matter what..." Heat rose in Su Yuan's eyes.
"Hey! What are you spacing out for, hurry up and go!" The male student from class three was quite enthusiastic, having already run ahead, he saw Su Yuan standing there dumbfounded and did not forget to turn back and call out again.
"It's fine, you go ahead." Su Yuan replied and then continued towards the location marked in black.
"Why doesn't this guy listen?"
The male student from class three shook his head. They didn't know each other, and reminding him a couple of times was already the limit of his benevolence. Seeing the Earth Element Beast getting closer, the class three student didn't wait for Su Yuan, and accelerated away to escape.
Su Yuan carefully moved forward and soon, saw from a distance a formidable grey-black Star Beast with four hooves.
It was the Earth Element Beast!
Unlike all the previous Bronze-level Star Beasts, this Earth Element Beast's eyes faintly glowed red, seemingly affected by something, and it had an extremely strong intent to attack.
It was presently brutally chasing two students from class five in the dense forest, hardly even turning corners. If there were trees in the way, they were simply knocked down by its sturdy head!
"Indeed it is an Earth Element Beast, and it's just at Bronze Early Stage." Su Yuan observed from afar, feeling even more delighted, "If it were a Bronze Middle Stage Earth Element Beast, then it wouldn't be something I could handle."
After all, this was just a trial assessment. If they really placed a Bronze Middle Stage Earth Element Beast, then this assessment would truly be of hellish difficulty and wouldn't serve any purpose as a trial.
"We're done for, it's catching up!" One of the students being chased by the Earth Element Beast turned his head and saw the Earth Element Beast was only about thirty meters behind, immediately crying out in alarm.
Both these students were at Star Apprentice Eighth Stage, they originally came just to see what this BOSS was like, but ended up being noticed and targeted by the Earth Element Beast.
In fact, before these two, the Earth Element Beast had already eliminated dozens of students...
At this moment, upon hearing his companion, the other student's face turned extremely ugly, "Damn it, we better call for help... ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of grey light suddenly emanated from the Earth Element Beast, instantly an invisible force acted upon the two fleeing students.
In a flash, both of them knelt down on the ground with their hands supporting them! Their bodies trembled, eyes bloodshot, blood trickling from their mouths and noses, as though they were bearing an immense pressure!
Elemental Magnetism Pressure!
The two were covered by Elemental Magnetism Pressure, unable to move at all, and even incapable of calling for help!
After controlling the two, the Earth Element Beast took big strides over, raising its strong forelimb, about to smash one of them.
With the Earth Element Beast's D-level Strength Talent, if this strike hit, the student would likely be smashed to death on the spot.
Just then, a brawny figure suddenly appeared beside the two students. In the blink of an eye, he picked them up and snatched them away from under the Earth Element Beast's dark hooves and retreated more than ten meters.
"Roar!!"
The Earth Element Beast, about to triumph, had its action thwarted by this suddenly appearing human, and was immediately engulfed in rage. Its body flashed with grey light again as Elemental Magnetism Pressure was deployed once more, and it charged forward.
However, this man seemed utterly unaffected by any force, standing upright while he turned his head to observe Su Yuan hiding in the distance.
"Captain Xiao?"
As their eyes met, Su Yuan recognized the face, it was none other than Xiao Yong, who was fully in charge of this assessment.
Su Yuan was momentarily stunned, then he understood.
Indeed, the Earth Element Beast was somewhat dangerous. These students, once covered with Elemental Magnetism Pressure, might not even have a chance to call for help, and neither Silver nor Bronze-level City Guards could guarantee a 100% rescue rate from an Earth Element Beast attack.
Seeing that he was about to be hit by the Earth Element Beast, Xiao Yong, carrying the two students, again transformed into a shadow and disappeared from the field in a few leaps...
