In the room.
Ye Xuan took a look at his current attributes.
He especially paid his attention to the Big Dream Sleeping Rock Aspect.
[Big Dream Sleeping Rock Aspect (1v1): Bronze Three Stars
An ability reverse nurtured by the Big Dream Sleeping Rock. It can make the Beast Tamer’s physique, Mind Energy, and will unwittingly get stronger.
It has extreme resistance, especially to skills of the Mind Type.
This ability can also make the Beast Tamer more perceptive to some degree.]
Ye Xuan finished reading the detailed information about this attribute in an instant.
Apparently, the ability he got from the Big Dream Sleeping Rock through reverse nurturing was not exactly the same as the Big Dream Sleeping Rock’s ability.
There was some kind of change.
For instance, the Big Dream Sleeping Rock could not make the Beast Tamer more perceptive. That was an ability the Big Dream Sleeping Rock did not have.
The same thing happened to the Tidal Treasure Snail earlier.
The Treasure Affinity he got after having contracted with the Tidal Treasure Snail was something the Tidal Treasure Snail did not have.
Besides, when he had got the Amber Tyrannosaurus Aspect, he did not really change his body to the Amber Body like what the Tyrannosaurus did.
“And my Warrior Aptness Level is already Gold?”
Then Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness again.
This time, after having contracted with the Big Dream Sleeping Rock, his warrior level also got improved.
He leveled up to the Gold level from the Silver level.
The Gold Warrior Aptness Level was quite high.
Especially on the Cerulean Planet.
On the Cerulean Planet, Beast Tamers were beyond the comparison of Warriors.
It would be an excellent result for most Warriors if they could achieve the Bronze or the Silver level.
Only a few of them could achieve the Gold level.
And there were even fewer people who could achieve the Challenger level.
“I don’t have other things to cultivate now anyways, so I will just cultivate the Warrior Path.”
Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness.
He started to practice a fist method in the room.
For him, any improvement would be good, no matter how small it was.
What he was practicing was still the Honing Fist.
This method was a prevalent one. It did not have any special functions.
However, if you simply used it to strengthen your body and qi and blood, you could keep doing it all the way up to the Challenger level.
Of course, provided that you were talented enough.
Phew!
Ye Xuan breathed some foul air out after finishing the whole fist method. “I am still cultivating too slowly. Things are different now. I am no longer short of money.”
“When I go back, I will purchase some cultivation resources that can help me with the cultivation of Warrior Path.”
The Warrior Path could improve his self-defense ability.
Besides, he would absolutely get reverse nurtured abilities from his beasts in the future so that his Warrior level would be increasingly higher.
In that case, it would not harm if he tried to work harder on the Warrior Path.
As to his career as a Beast Tamer, he felt he could pursue it with ease in the future. He was taking it like a duck to water at the moment.
...
The next day.
“Ye Xuan, I’m here to take you to the martial arts field.”
Ye Xuan had just finished practicing the Honing Fist early in the morning when Zhang Jiantong came to visit him.
“Has the selection already started?”
Ye Xuan wondered when he had seen Zhang Jiantong.
After getting changed, he followed Zhang Jiantong to a martial arts field in the world inside the Swallowing Spirits Magic Mountain.
When Ye Xuan had arrived there, he saw besides Wang Tianshan, Ren Ya, and others were also there.
And ten-odd youngsters about his age had been waiting there.
While he was approaching the field, those ten-odd people all looked at him immediately.
Most of them were surprised to see him.
Apparently, they had recognized him.
“There are ten-odd people here. I guess that is almost everyone.”
After his arrival, Ye Xuan looked at the youngsters waiting there. The sight stirred in him.
Most of those who were older than him were already Beast Tamers on the Silver level.
Beast Tamers on the Silver level had nothing to do with him.
If he wanted to stand out in this selection, he just needed to fight against the Bronze-level Beast Tamers there and defeat them.
He walked into the field while thinking and went next to Ren Ya directly.
Many of the other candidates in the field had come here with their teachers, too.
And they were also staying with their teachers.
“Madam Ren, I bet this is Ye Xuan from Jiangzhou University. He is really a fine-looking young man.”
As soon as Ye Xuan stopped next to Ren Ya, not far from them, Shen Tu from Qingyun University, who had talked to Wang Tianbing the day before, said with a smile, looking at Ye Xuan.
Ren Ya looked at him plainly after hearing his remark. She said, “What? You want him?”
“Haha, of course, I do. But despite what I want, I don’t have the nerve to steal anyone from Madam Ren.”
Shen Tu burst out laughing immediately.
However, he was still throwing Ye Xuan a glance from time to time.
He said to Wang Tianbing the day before that Ye Xuan absolutely would not be a rival for his student.
That being said, he did recognize Ye Xuan’s talent.
And what he would like to do most was to recruit one after another genius and become their teacher.
However, unfortunately, unless Jiangzhou University was closed because of bankruptcy, Ye Xuan would never be his student.
Seeing Shen Tu glancing at him from time to time, Ye Xuan felt obliged to greet him back with an awkward smile.
Then he laid his eyes on a young man next to that old man.
That man looked relatively younger than the others, and he was wearing a school uniform.
Therefore, after a glance at him, Ye Xuan knew immediately he was from Qingyun University.
And judging from his age, Ye Xuan figured he should also be a Beast Tamer on the Bronze level, just like himself.
And most likely, that young man would be one of his competitors.
“Is that Bu Zi’ang, whom Ms. Ren mentioned to me yesterday?”
Ye Xuan wondered.
The day before, Ren Ya told him about the competitors that he could run into this day.
Bu Zi’ang, who was probably this guy, was one of them.
“And the others.”
While he was thinking, Ye Xuan shifted his eyes from the young man to the others in the field.
As he glanced over, he noticed another figure in the field.
That figure was between 7.2 and 7.6 feet tall.
Ye Xuan was much shorter than he was.
Therefore, Ye Xuan noticed him immediately while glancing over.
He guessed it should be Meng Mingxu from Gutian University, whom Ren Ya had also mentioned to him the day before.
According to Ren Ya, Meng Mingxu not only had a fantastic talent for Beast Taming but also had a dreadful high level as a Warrior.
He was a Beast Tamer on the peak Bronze level and a Warrior on the peak Bronze level at the same time.
“There should be one more.”
After observing Meng Mingxu, Ye Xuan started to search in the crowd again.
However, although he had seen everyone in the crowd, he did not find Ren Ya’s last person mentioned to him.
Pitapat.
However, when he was feeling weird about it, he saw a teenage girl in the distance hurrying to the field led by Tianshan Base’s staff.
“Xu Yunying.”
The sight of this girl stirred in Ye Xuan.
According to Ren Ya’s introduction, this girl was his last competitor. Her name was Xu Yunying.
Just like Bu Zi’ang, Meng Mingxu, and himself, she was a freshman of this year.
However, Xu Yunying was studying at Danxin University.
Of course, just like Bu Zi’ang and Meng Mingxu, she was also a Beast Tamer on the peak Bronze level.
Among the four, only Ye Xuan’s cultivation level was a little lower.
However, it was no big deal for Ye Xuan.
He was only on the intermediate Dark Iron level when he entered Jiangzhou University.
That cultivation level was the lowest Beast Tamer level that Jiangzhou University would admit.
However, he achieved the intermediate Bronze level in a short time.
Students on the intermediate Bronze level were regarded as excellent. They would even get preferential treatment in the admission of Jiangzhou University.
“Okay. Now everyone is here.”
At this moment, Wang Tianbing glanced over the field. After seeing all candidates have arrived, he said, “The twelve of you are all of the candidates that will compete for the places to enter the Dragon Horn Secret Realm in Jiangzhou.”
“You eight Beast Tamers on the Silver level will compete for two places.”
“You four Beast Tamers on the Bronze level will also compete for two places.”
“Silver-level Beast Tamers, please wait aside for now. You four Bronze-level Beast Tamers can come into the field first.”
“You will compete in two groups, two people in each group. You can start right now right here after finding your own opponent.”
Ye Xuan, Bu Zi’ang, Meng Mingxu, and Xu Yunying were all struck dumb.
They were surprised that Wang Tianshan wanted them to find their own opponent.
“Who will be my opponent?”
Glancing at Bu Zi’ang and the other two, Ye Xuan found none of them had come forward.
He made a decision and walked out decisively.
He would have to have this fight sooner or later, so he would rather do it quickly than wait.
There was nothing to be afraid of at this moment.
Besides, he was representing Jiangzhou University here.
As Ye Xuan walked to the center of the field, he became the center of attention.
“What a newborn calf! He is not afraid of any tiger!”
Seeing Ye Xuan come forward before anyone else, Wang Tianshan was struck dumb. He instantly thought more highly of Ye Xuan.
Simultaneously, as Ye Xuan walked out and stood at the center quietly, the others also felt that energetic vibe he was giving off.
“Jiangzhou University is fortunate. They have got such an excellent genius like Ye Xuan in their worst moment.”
“The only thing is this young man’s cultivation level is still too low. I wonder how long it will take him to get mature.”
Looking at Ye Xuan from far away, some high-ranking officers from different universities were also slightly shocked.
The eyes of Bu Zi’ang and the other two hardened when they had seen Ye Xuan walk to the center of the field before them.
They were also the best at their respective universities. They certainly would not let Ye Xuan steal their thunder.
Stimulated by that, they walked into the field one after another as well.
However, when they found out the others had also walked out, they exchanged an awkward look.
In this case, who would be Ye Xuan’s opponent?
“Bu Zi’ang.”
However, while they were hesitating, Ye Xuan’s voice came from the center of the field.
“If it is okay with you, shall we fight first?”
His invitation broke the stalemate in the field.
He sounded decisive and powerful.
As if he had picked an opponent for himself without hesitation.
