The announcement of the assessment results marked the end of the test. The deacon of the Cultivator Headquarters awarded certificates to the ten successful candidates, starting with Mikiri, who had the highest overall score. At exactly 5:00 PM, the assessment results were announced, and the certificate award ceremony began. The coveted Junior Breeder Certificate, a sky-blue booklet, symbolized the cultivator's identity. Terrance was thrilled to finally receive it, complete with his profile picture, name, and the date and age he passed the assessment.
As the ceremony went on, the camera equipment in the audience snapped pictures of the successful candidates, including the two ten-year-old breeders and Mikiri, who was a well-known figure in the Fengyuan area. However, despite his success, Terrance's achievement seemed to be overshadowed by the other candidates' impressive results.
Master Shengzong congratulated the young breeders with a smile, pleased with their excellent performance. Terrance and Xiao Chun eagerly reminded him of the rewards he had promised for their second and third-place finishes. Master Shengzong assured them that he had not forgotten and would carefully prepare their rewards.
Terrance felt grateful to have met Xiao Chun and Master Shengzong, as he might not have qualified for the assessment otherwise. He realized that luck played a crucial role in his success.
News of Mikiri and Qiao Yichun's success as breeders spread quickly and caused a stir in the community. Mikiri was a well-known public figure in the Fengyuan area, and his entrance into the cultivating family circle raised suspicions about his intentions. Meanwhile, Qiao Yichun's achievement as a ten-year-old cultivator was remarkable and a rarity. However, under the shadow of the Joey family and Master Shengzong's reputation, their success was viewed as an expectation of future achievements rather than a surprise.
The test had ended, and the assessment results were announced at exactly 5:00 PM. The successful candidates received their Junior Breeder Certificates, and Terrance was thrilled to finally receive his with his picture, name, and the date and age he passed the assessment. Although the ceremony went on, Terrance's achievement seemed to be overshadowed by the impressive results of the other candidates. Master Shengzong congratulated all the young breeders and assured Terrance and Xiao Chun that he had not forgotten the rewards he promised them for their second and third-place finishes.
Terrance felt grateful to have met Xiao Chun and Master Shengzong and realized that luck played a crucial role in his success. News of Mi Keli and Qiao Yichun's success as breeders spread quickly, causing a stir in the community. However, their success was viewed as an expectation of future achievements rather than a surprise under the shadow of the Joey family and Master Shengzong's reputation. Despite this, Joey's achievements at this age were currently among the best in the Joey family.
Terrance saw the report, which almost contained the news of Mi Keli and Xiaochun, but he and other contestants only mentioned it slightly and did not even show their names. He did not care about the attention because he was already in the presence of a big shot, Master Shengzong.
Master Shengzong came to Terrance to give him the promised rewards for his second-place finish. Terrance asked about Xiao Chun, and Master Shengzong said that her situation was different from his, so the rewards were naturally different. Then, Master Shengzong asked if Terrance was an orphan and spoke about his background being worse than Xiao Chun's. He asked if Terrance had thought about his future goals, and Terrance said that he wanted to become a top coordination trainer and a top breeder. Master Shengzong was stunned by Terrance's answer and warned him that it would not be easy to achieve those goals.
Master Shengzong was impressed by Terrance's ambitious dreams of becoming a top coordinator and breeder, but he couldn't help but feel that the young boy was being a bit arrogant. "It's not easy to achieve any of the things you mentioned," the old man cautioned. "Even achieving one of those things in a lifetime would be considered extremely impressive."
Terrance didn't seem deterred by the challenge. "I still want to persevere," he replied with determination. He saw being a top coordinator and breeder as his way of supporting the future of green house orphnage and fulfilling his original dream.
Master Shengzong was curious about Terrance's abilities and asked him how far he thought he could go in these professions. "You may have become a junior breeder at a young age, but to become an intermediate or advanced breeder takes a lot more effort and knowledge," he explained. "It's not something that can be achieved through mere hard work."
Terrance knew the journey wouldn't be easy, but he was willing to put in the effort. He had spent four years becoming a junior breeder and knew it would take even more time and money to achieve his ultimate goals.
Master Shengzong saw potential in Terrance and offered him two choices for rewards. "I want to give you a chance, but not for nothing," he said. "You can choose between two options."
Terrance listened intently, eager to hear what Master Shengzong had in mind. The old man wanted Terrance to face some challenges before he could achieve his dreams, and Terrance was ready to rise to the occasion.
