Meanwhile, in the Monitoring Room of the Trial Space.
The person in charge, Xu Feng, stared intently at the large fluorescent screen in the center, his brows furrowing deeper.
The screen displayed real-time point data for all trial participants, along with a Potential Rating calculated by the system based on those points.
"Is this the level of Linyuan City's students this year?"
He shook his head in disappointment. "Aside from Chen Ziming, who barely reached A Grade, the others can't even make it to B Grade."
Just as he was about to look away, his peripheral vision caught some abnormal data.
Gu Xing!
The points next to this name were soaring at a terrifying speed:
200... 500... 2000...
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, it broke right through the 5000 mark!
"This..."
Xu Feng's pupils contracted sharply.
You have to understand, the other students had at most a few hundred points. Even Chen Ziming was only just over 2000.
Yet this unremarkable student's points had actually reached 5000!
How is that possible?!
Xu Feng slammed his hand on the table and shot up. "Why is his point growth rate so terrifying?"
A Staff Member at his side cautiously said:
"Could he be kill-stealing? If two groups of beasts were fighting and he just happened to be nearby..."
Clearly, such an explanation didn't convince Xu Feng.
"Absurd!" Xu Feng cut him off sharply. "Bring me Gu Xing's file!"
That Staff Member didn't dare to delay, immediately fetching Gu Xing's file and handing it to Xu Feng.
After reviewing the file, his brows furrowed even deeper.
Gu Xing had contracted a Tamed Beast that was considered "crippled." How could he achieve such a dazzling result?
But the next moment, as if he had thought of something, his pupils shrank.
"Could it be... that Angel Tamed Beast has recovered?"
When this Angel-type Tamed Beast first appeared, it had caused a huge stir in Linyuan City.
Xu Feng had naturally heard about it, but after hearing of its "unable to level up" defect, he had stopped paying attention.
And now, the terrifying potential Gu Xing was displaying was clearly related to this Tamed Beast.
That Tamed Beast, judged to be "crippled," had very likely made a full recovery!
On the screen, Gu Xing's points were still climbing.
In the Potential Rating column, it had already jumped to S Grade!
Xu Feng's hand began to tremble uncontrollably.
A genius of this level... this was already beyond his authority to decide.
"Quickly!" He turned to his assistant and ordered sharply, "Notify the City Lord immediately!"
【Holy Angel (Liuli)】
【Aptitude: Legendary 1 Star】
【Level: Awakening 3rd Order】
【Power: 98】
【Constitution: 96】
【Spirit: 94】
【Speed: 107】
【Skills: Judgment of Sin (Increased damage to Demonic Race Creatures), Divine Protection (Immune to one fatal attack), Seraph Form (All Attributes increased by 200%), Final Lament (Angel enters a Dormancy Period after use)】
After three hours of leveling, Liuli's level successfully reached Awakening 3rd Order, infinitely close to Awakening 4th Order.
And Liuli's various attributes were nearly three times that of an ordinary 3rd Order Tamed Beast!
Beside him, a golden arc of light flashed, and the few Elite 3rd Order Monsters besieging Liuli were sliced in two.
The next moment, Gu Xing's body jolted as the Spiritual Power in his mind rose once again.
This also meant that Liuli's level had reached Awakening 4th Order!
"There still aren't enough Magical Beasts here..."
Gu Xing let out an inhuman sigh.
But for him, if there were more mobs, he and Liuli might have already reached Awakening 5th Order by now.
After all, for the current Liuli, dealing with these low-order Magical Beasts consumed almost no energy.
After finishing off the enemies, Liuli shook her wings.
Confirming that she wasn't stained with enemy blood, she then slowly walked to Gu Xing's side.
"Master, while I was fighting just now, I sensed a big guy to the east. If my perception is correct, it should be an Awakening 5th Order Magical Beast."
Hearing this, Gu Xing immediately perked up.
An Awakening 5th Order Magical Beast... In the past three hours, he and Liuli hadn't encountered a single one.
Now that they had finally found one...
"Liuli, let's go! Take it out!"
A single Awakening 5th Order Magical Beast was enough to raise Liuli's level by another large chunk.
Following Liuli's guidance, the two of them quietly approached.
Indeed, it was an Awakening 5th Order Magical Beast, and its quality wasn't low!
【Bloodthirsty Tiger (Demon)】
【Aptitude: Excellent 9 Star】
【Level: Awakening 5th Order】
【Power: 71】
【Constitution: 74】
【Spirit: 52】
【Speed: 69】
【Skills: Blood Fury Bite, Fierce Tiger Pounce】
Looking at the Excellent Aptitude 5th Order Magical Beast, Gu Xing couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Compared to those low-order Magical Beasts with Elite Aptitude, this Magical Beast's attributes were stronger by more than just a bit.
Moreover, because it had been transformed, Magical Beasts of the same level were generally stronger than Tamed Beasts.
This was one of the reasons why leveling in the Otherworld was so difficult!
But for now, facing this Awakening 5th Order Magical Beast, Gu Xing's confidence didn't waver.
With Liuli's attributes all breaking one hundred, facing this Awakening 5th Order Magical Beast...
It would be over in two sword strikes at most!
Just as Gu Xing and Liuli were sneaking closer, they discovered someone else had gotten to the Magical Beast first.
No...
It was less that someone else had gotten there first, and more that this Magical Beast had found its own prey!
Down in the deep valley below, the Bloodthirsty Tiger was leading three Awakening 4th Order Magical Beasts, cornering a Five-Person Team.
The strongest in this team was merely a 3rd Order Beast Tamer, and at this moment, everyone's face was pale.
"Cl-Class Monitor..."
A Team Member looked tremblingly toward the young woman in the center of the team, his voice filled with despair.
Shen Ruoxue bit her lower lip, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Facing a luxurious lineup of one 5th Order and three 4th Order monsters, escape was an extravagant hope for their rookie team.
The reason these Magical Beasts hadn't delivered the killing blow yet was simply that they were enjoying the thrill of their prey's final struggles.
"Listen! We might not make it out of this valley. But even if we die, we're taking a pound of their flesh!"
"Focus all our Tamed Beasts and attack the 4th Order Magical Beast on the left!"
"Even if we can't kill it, we have to wound it badly!"
"Un-understood!"
The four gritted their teeth, their voices laced with the fear of death.
The Bloodthirsty Tiger licked its fangs with its scarlet tongue; it seemed to have finally tired of this cat-and-mouse game.
Roar—
Following a deafening roar, the four Magical Beasts charged forward at once!
Amidst the shriek of claws tearing through the air, Shen Ruoxue could even smell the foul wind rushing toward her...
Death was just a breath away!
Seeing this, Gu Xing, who was off to the side, no longer hesitated and immediately commanded Liuli to act.
After all, he was determined to get the experience from these few Magical Beasts!
"Liuli, activate Seraph Form!"
The situation was critical. Only Liuli's Seraph Form, with its doubled attributes, had the power to control the entire situation.
The moment Liuli received Gu Xing's command, she unleashed the shackles on her body.
In that instant, the heavens and the earth changed color
