"Uncle White Wow, there are a lot of people here to take the test."Jiao Long said, "Of course there will be many people here; this is one of the top three academys in the Yan country. Since I already brought you here, I'm leaving because I have somewhere else to be. Make me proud," Jiao Long's uncle answered.
Jiao Long joined the gathering after bid Uncle White farewell.
Suddenly there was a ruckus and a whispering sound. "That's the young master of the Chao family; I can't believe he is also here."
"Of course he is going to appear here; I heard that his elder brother is already a senior here, and he is in the fourth realm," stated another individual.
Curiosity prompted Jiao Long to ask the two men, "Who is he?" They gave him a weird look and questioned whether he was a cave dweller. "I'm living in a remote area, and I don't come into contact with other humans a lot," Jiao Long, who was aware of their thoughts, said right away. They had an expression of realization.
"That guy is Chaoxiang; he is part of the most prominent clan of the Yan country (there are three major and powerful clans in the Yan country after the royal family). I heard that person tamed a powerful beast that is ranked 385 on the beast ranking that one can tame at the first realm. He is also among the chosen that his clan is planning to choose for the next head of clan. And he also has an older brother called Chao Zhu who has already been at the Skyline Academy for like 2 years; remember not to offend any of them, one of the men said to Jiao Long.
Though he didn't say it aloud, Jiao Long pondered, "Is taming a beast that is ranked at the 385 position powerful?" He remarked to the two men, "Thank you for sharing this with me," and stepped away.
The academy elders emerged from the school gate and stood on the platform as the sun was almost down. "Silence everyone!" yelled an elder in the front. Everyone stopped talking, and the elder kept talking. "The first stage of the test will commence right here, and there will be only 1000 of you left here. Those that did not pass the test do not have any affinity with our academy, and they will have to leave because we only want people who have powerful will to get strong at our academy. The second test will commence tomorrow, and the rules of the second test will be explained then. Now get ready for the first test," the elder said.
When the elder called forth a beast, the crowd was astounded by the aura the creature was giving off. Jiao Long, who had previously seen two realm 8 beasts engage in combat, looked at the beast without being startled. The elder gave the beast the order to release his aura to the crowd after reminding them that the test had begun. As soon as the beast unleashed its aura, a large number of people in the crowd began to collapse like dominoes, unable to rise.
Everyone is refusing to give up and is gritting their teeth. Jiao Long was also feeling the pressure, but he wasn't feeling it as well because he had already been hurt by a realm eight beast's roar. Jiao Long looked around and saw that about thirty people were passing through it as easily as he was, including Chaoxiang, whom the two guys had previously discussed. Since there was nothing to do, Jiao Long closed his eyes and thought, "These people are going to be hard to deal with."
The elder said, "It's enough; those that failed leave the premises immediately." Even though those individuals don't want to leave, there is nothing they can do because they have already failed. That older voice echoed once more, "The second test will begin tomorrow."
Nobody left at that time; everyone sat down in groups of two or three to converse, and some, like Jiao Long, chose to sit down by themselves to contemplate.
That elder returned at the crack of dawn, and everyone got up as soon as they spotted him.
The elder stated, "The second test will begin today, and I'm going to tell you now that we will be sending you to the beast mountain forest for your second test. Not all of you will come back alive, and if you are too afraid to die, you can leave now before I start explaining the rules." A few people paused to look confused, then began to depart. Since there will always be those at the bottom of the well in this world who have no chance of ever rising beyond it, the elder was unconcerned.
I am happy that 600 of you are still willing to stay, as this indicates that you are prepared to fight for your future. As you are all aware, the beast hates humans because we constantly hunt them down and tame them to fight for us; in fact, their hatred is so intense that it is either a fight to the death or a fight between us.The elder stated, "The test is to hunt down a level one beast. The person who hunts down 1,000 level one beasts will be in 10th place and will receive 10 purple coins." The crowd erupted in cheers, and even Jiao Long was taken aback by the price—one purple coin is worth 100 gold coins. Jiao Long was ecstatic because, if the prize for tenth place is already that large, he can only image the prize that would be awarded to the top three.
