Chapter 14 - Silverline Cat

"I was quite amazed that you could survive back there.

You showed no knowledge in cosmic body arts, nor do you possess any soul avatar, yet...

You are just outstanding, or?"

Wuying's gaze was burning with curiosity, Xue Fang had sensed that there was more to it than the praises, nevertheless, he said nothing.

"Was it just luck? Your survival.

You know, when one of the stone monsters was crushed by my battle pet, my suspicion was validated since I was unable to earn any soul coins, which means, the stone monsters weren't in their prime, this Tomb of Kings had been cleared before, if it weren't for that, I would have at least ended up injured"

It seemed what Wuying said last had more meaning because of how he clenched his hands into fists.

"My name is Guo Wuying"

That name made Xue Fang's heart skip a beat, so Wuying was related to Guo Zhenyu?

At that moment, Xue Fang sensed there was more to this impromptu license examination.

"I'm Xue Fang"

Out of courtesy, Xue Fang introduced himself.

"Since my family is one of the branch noble families of the powerful Guo clan—one of the seven ruling elder clans of the human world, Earl Zixiao popularly known as Thousand Eyes Genius had sanctioned this exam because of the late-blooming me.

All elite kids in the Guo clan usually awaken their Soul Will at the age of twelve, while Thousand Eyes Genius is the one who has an unbroken record of awakening at the tender age of eight, he was the one who used the influence of the Guo clan to sanction this exam"

So Thousand Eyes Genius, an Earl-level hunter, and Guo Zhenyu's father was the one who sanctioned the license exam.

Xue Fang realized that Thousand Eyes Genius was able to sanction this unofficial exam using his noble status and clan's influence. World's license exam is normally sanctioned by the agreement of the seven ruling elder clans. But This unofficial one was possible because Thousand Eyes Genius has contributed to humanity's success greatly.

"I see, by the way, when did you awaken?"

"Last week"

Xue Fang had awakened the previous day, and he actually thought lady luck was with him, so if it weren't because of the late-blooming Wuying, he would have to wait till the next two years for this World's License examination.

"Xue Fang! You are strong"

Wuying's voice boomed, and he gazed intensely at Xue Fang.

"Well, I wouldn't have been able to escape Rong Xia that time unlike you"

As someone without an enhancement level, Xue Fang had no reason to boast.

If someone with an appraisal skill was among the other entrants, Xue Fang knew he would have become a laughing stock.

"I don't think so, I would say she cut me some slack, if she wanted to use the unlocked skills or bloodlines of her puppets, I wouldn't be able to escape"

Wuying tried to ascertain his claim, but Xue Fang couldn't think of anything else he wanted from him, although he knew there was something behind all these pesterings.

"But what about your soul avatars, I don't think any entrants possess a soul avatar, and yours could restrict the target's movement, none of her puppets would be strong against Baron-grade battle pets"

He could remember, during the battle of attrition between the Baron-level stone monsters and Baron-grade battle pets, the battle pets had crushed the stone monsters into pieces using their extraordinary coiling pressure.

"I know, however, no matter how I look it, you are strong, therefore, I implore you, fight me! Xue Fang"

This sudden request greatly surprised Xue Fang. He could sense intense emotion behind those words, but he knew those weren't negative ones, they were the words of a man who wanted to know his true worth among other men, and Xue Fang wasn't someone to deprive his fellow man of such.

Wuying was like a lonely kid, trying to find his worth among other talented elite kids of the same clan.

"What a pain, when I thought I managed to survive through sheer will, it can't be helped"

"What is in it for me, avatar gear type soul avatar?, Mystical item?, Artifact?"

There was no way Xue Fang would opt to do this for free, he just knew the guy wanted to use him as a tool to find out his own true power, all elite kids are the same, so arrogant, although Xue Fang could sense no negative emotion in the request, it was purely based on positive intent.

"What about a battle pet-type soul avatar"

Wuying said confidently, he was confident that no way Xue Fang could reject a battle pet, they are soul avatars used as battle companions.

At first, Xue Fang wore a completely dumb expression, he thought he misheard, the lowest-tier battle pet would cost as high as half a million Jade spirit notes.

"You aren't kidding right?"

Xue Fang wanted to ascertain what Wuying said, he then asked;

"Can you summon it? I want to take a look"

Xue Fang was wondering how many battle pets Wuying had apart from the two Baron-grade poison-tipped spiky Basikis.

Wuying then summoned it.

By his leg was a small fluffy silvery cat, using its body to rub affectionately against Wuying's left leg. Wuying gestured to Xue Fang who had a look of disbelief on his face.

Xue Fang was surprised, this was a harmless battle pet, or it was even literally a pet, what did he expect him to use it for, but Xue Fang knew appearance can be deceiving sometimes, he then appraised the silvery cat.

"Quite manageable"

Xue Fang thought. The night vision would come in handy at night, but if only he could also simulate the "A Hundred transformation art".

"Let's get on with this fight first, I have a lot of things to do at home"

Xue Fang grinned at the silvery cat.
