Vincent Wolf glanced at the text above Henry Stanford’s head.
[Identity: College Student. Relationship with you: Former Opponent.] The two came together to Exam Room No. 8. When they arrived, the room was already full of candidates.
There are 100 candidates waiting for assessment in each examination room. In front of everyone was a huge detection table.
This detection table was less than a meter high but had a length and width of ten meters. It was a detection machine with high precision, capable of detecting the energy and spirit index of pet beasts.
At the same time, it could also detect the species name, species level, growth level, and other physical data of the pet beast.
Above the detection table, a mechanical skull floated idly above the table.
Vincent looked forward, and among the candidates here, some seemed only slightly older than him. There were well-dressed office workers, middle-aged men with Mediterranean features, and elderly people with white hair.
Next to the detection table were two examiners, one male and one female.
Both examiners were chatting in their chairs with personal information and data of the 100 candidates placed on the desktop in front of them. Beside the information was a computer connected to the detection table.
The male examiner looked worried.
“This year, our Los Angeles City has introduced advanced technology from Mech Empire, and we no longer have to use the old assessment methods. Although the assessment is more standardized and fair, I really don’t know if this is good or bad for the candidates.”
“Why worry about this? Do you have relatives taking the exam?”
“Then that’s the end of it. Anyway, we already got the certificate. Also, Kyoto City has already fully implemented and started national promotion. So, we must keep up with the trend and not go against it.”
“But…”
Before the male examiner could finish, the female examiner glanced at the time.
“It’s already time, let’s get started.”
The male examiner closed his mouth, stood up and looked towards the candidates.
“Everyone, please pay attention. The preliminary selection is about to begin.”
Seeing that the candidates gradually quieted down, and they were all looking at him, the male examiner continued to speak.
“Now, we will start the preliminary selection assessment for the Professional Beast Master Certificate – Combat Certification.”
“Next, I will read your exam numbers. According to the exam numbers, you will take turns going up to the detection table to be tested.”
At this point, the male examiner paused before continuing.
“This detection table, imported from the Mech Empire, can accurately measure various data of pet beasts. The detection method is for the Beast Master to step onto the detection table and summon the pet beast from the Beast Space.”
“The preliminary selection assessment is based on the detection results of the detection table to judge whether the pet beast is qualified.”
“The standard for judging whether a pet beast is qualified is simple. As long as it reaches 500 energy points.”
“500 energy points represent that the Transcendent Level pet beasts possess a Middle Grade skill at the proficient level and at least three Low-grade skills at the proficient level, and can support a battle that lasts for ten minutes using these skills.”
“Based on this standard, you can make a judgment in advance and make a prediction about whether your pet beast meets the criterion.”
“If the pet beast’s other physical qualities are particularly high, the energy point standard can be correspondingly reduced.”
“For special attributes, such as the Super Power Tribe and the Spirit system, if the energy does not meet the standard, you can apply to test the spirit power. If the spirit power is up to standard, you can still enter the next round.”
Having said that, the male examiner sat back down, clearly giving the candidates some time to adapt.
As expected, many of the 100 candidates present didn’t know that the rules of this preliminary selection had already been changed, and the room was buzzing.
Some were confident; others sighed.
Many of these candidates had taken the exam for seven or eight, even more than a dozen years without success, so the rule change meant both good and bad news for them.
The good news was that failing under previous rules doesn’t necessarily mean they couldn’t pass under the new ones.
The bad news was that their previous experience was now invalid, equivalent to starting from scratch. This made them somewhat anxious about the unknown.
When the candidates had finally quieted down again, the male examiner stood up again, holding the candidates’ information in his hand, reading the names one by one to start the assessment.
“Exam Number 0701, Kevin Smith.”
A middle-aged man nervously walked onto the detection table, communicated with his Beast Space, and summoned his pet beast.
A summoning array appeared in mid-air, the surrounding air rippled, and a gentle breeze blew.
The next second, on the detection table, a small rabbit stood on its hind legs with a wooden stick in its hands, looking adorably dumb.
Before Vincent could think of what pet beast this was, he saw the mechanical skull floating above the detection table scan its eyes over the rabbit.
Then, the detection table automatically sounded.
“Species Name: Hoodlum Rabbit.” “Species Level: High-Level Extraordinary.” “Growth Level: Intermediate Transcendent.”
“Energy Points: 501.”
The middle-aged man’s expression froze for a moment before he burst into ecstasy.
“Hahaha! I passed! I finally passed!”
The candidates below the stage looked enviously at the middle-aged man. The female examiner glanced through the information on the computer passed on by the detection table.
“All right, quickly go down, don’t affect the assessment of the next candidate!” the male examiner urged.
The middle-aged man beckoned, and the Hoodlum Rabbit sprang into his arms like a shooting star.
The middle-aged man walked proudly with a swagger that was more confident than before.
“Next, Exam Number 0702, Allen Thomas.”
“Species Name: Little Earth Mouse.” “Species Level: Intermediate Transcendent.” “Growth Level: Low-grade Transcendent.”
“Energy Points: 398.” “Not qualified, next.”
“Species Name: Armored Pig.”
“Species Level: High-Level Extraordinary.” “Growth Level: Intermediate Transcendent.”
“Energy Points: 778.”
“Qualified, next.”
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the assessment had passed.
There were qualified candidates and unqualified ones coming one after another.
In general, the qualified to unqualified ratio was about 1:9.
About one out of ten were qualified.
“It seems that Grandmaster Winter… was not lying to me. Out of the tens of thousands of people who signed up for the preliminary selection, only a few thousand will enter the first round.”
Vincent still felt a bit awkward about the fact that Aiden Winter was actually his grandfather.
“Next, Exam Number 0785, Henry Stanford.”
Henry Stanford went up to the detection table and summoned his Flame Dungeon Elf.
“Species Name: Flame Dungeon Elf.”
“Species Level: High-Grade Leader Level.” “Growth Level: Low-grade Transcendent. ”
“Energy Points: 2178.”
The candidates below the stage buzzed in surprise.
“Did, did you see that?”
“Damn, the previous eighty-something people, the highest was only over nine hundred!”
“My god! High-Grade Leader Level! How much money does it cost to contract that!”
“He looks like he’s only a college student! Comparing people can really make you feel upset!”
“Look at Wealthy Brother V50’s power!”
