61: Advance skills and upgrade lighting magic!

Lighting Technique?

Everyone picked up the booklets in their hands.

Although it was an E-Rank skill, the meridian diagram was exceptionally complex!

“Is there a need to learn this?” Shen Yun complained.

The light naturally emitted by her Beasts could serve as illumination!

The effect was even far superior.

“This skill was conceived by a Overseer who spent an hour on it, just to test the learning ability of Beasts.”

“Let's begin!”

As Wang Long's voice fell.

The Beast Tamer, one after another, became serious.

It's just an E-Rank skill, many people could probably reach the introductory level within an hour, or even become proficient!

Skills actually have commonalities; the more you learn, the easier it is to master new skills when you acquire them!

“Heh heh, it seems they haven't realized the seriousness of the problem yet.”

Wang Long looked at the relaxed crowd and chuckled.

Ordinary E-Rank skills are indeed simple.

But this skill is different!

That's right.

This is a skill specifically created for the assessment!

That Overseer deliberately included a large number of obstacles within the skill!

Even the slightest error in meridian circulation would lead to all efforts being wasted!

The difficulty of reaching the introductory level is no less than some C-Rank skills; if not for extremely precise control over energy, it would be impossible to reach the proficient level!

Furthermore.

The Overseer even boasted.

“In this grand examination, those who can reach the proficient level will definitely not exceed the number of fingers on one hand!”

Indeed.

Just ten minutes had passed.

Some Beast Tamer were already covered in sweat.

No matter how they circulated the energy, they would always make a mistake at the critical moment!

It even made everyone suspect, for a time, that there was something wrong with this skill.

However.

In one corner, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared!

Lei Tianren's expression was stern.

In the hands of the Thunder Beast, a white light floated up, clearly having reached the introductory level!

Wang Long was slightly surprised, his pupils emitting purple light as he looked at Lei Tianren.

“Using a large amount of energy to directly fill the complex meridians, breaking through all methods with sheer force!”

Wang Long nodded.

This skill couldn't stop Beast Tamer with extremely high energy levels.

Soon, more and more Beast Tamer discovered the problem within it.

Wang Yan, relying on his proficient use of skills, was the second to reach the introductory level.

Shen Yun, relying on the Fire Butterfly's talent, steadily stepped into the introductory level.

The geniuses from several prestigious schools.

It was almost impossible to stop their progress.

Xiao Tian looked at the meridian diagram in her hand, divine light flowing in her eyes, and quickly engraved it into her mind.

【Lighting Technique (Introductory)!】

“Snap!”

Her fingertip moved.

A faint glow appeared.

Unlike others, this glow was like a sacred flame, burning on its own.

“Advance Lighting Technique proficiency.”

Fang Ran's words fell.

【Advance Lighting Technique (Proficient)!】

【Remaining Debt: Cast Lighting Technique at the proficient level ten times!】

This requirement was simply too easy.

She spent half an hour.

Xiao Tian then paid off the Lighting Technique debt.

The light at the proficient level was exceptionally conspicuous in the examination hall, several times brighter than ordinary skills!

This indeed attracted Wang Long's attention.

“Proficient level! He truly has this talent!”

Wang Long nodded with satisfaction.

How could a Beast Tamer who could cultivate the Basic Evolution Method to the extreme be stopped by a mere Lighting Technique?

Fang Ran being the first to reach the proficient level was also within his expectations.

This precisely proved that his Basic Evolution Method entirely relied on the talent of his pet Beast.

“Fang Ran? He actually learned it so fast again!” Shen Yun said in surprise.

“This kid, his future is indeed boundless!” Lei Tianren exclaimed.

This speed of learning skills is very likely to make him the top ranker in two years!

“Two or three years is enough time for me to change a lot in the Five Great Academies!” Li Ming said confidently.

And at this moment.

Fang Ran had not stopped learning this skill.

“Advance!”

【Skill has reached its limit, cannot be advanced!】

【Do you want to spend 1 Gene Point to insist on advancing the skill!】

Forcibly advance?

He remembered the Holy Guiding Divine Bow was like this.

Fang Ran became interested.

“Insist on advancing!”

【Spent 1 Gene Point, successfully advanced Lighting Technique!】

【Obtained Skill – Light Illumination Technique!】

【Light Illumination Technique: Release a ball of light that follows the user for continuous illumination!】

At that moment.

The meridian patterns in Xiao Tian's mind underwent a tremendous change.

All complex and useless meridians completely disappeared, replaced by the ultimate application of energy!

Her fingertip gently brushed over it.

The meridian diagram on the Lighting Technique manual underwent earth-shattering changes!

The originally blurry figure had now transformed into the phantom of an Angel!

“Ding!”

“Time's up, put down the manuals in your hands, someone will collect them later!”

Wang Long's voice fell.

His gaze swept across.

Everyone dropped the booklets in their hands.

These were just clones, not the originals, and were worthless.

Moreover, it was just an E-Rank skill, you could find free versions online, so it didn't matter even if they were lost.

After the assessment ended.

The Beast Tamer felt relieved, followed by anticipation.

“I didn't perform well this time, it's enough if I can pass the score line for a second-tier academy!”

“Second-tier is already good, I just started learning the Basic Evolution Method, I'm already despairing.”

“Do you believe him? He said the same thing during the last mid-term exam, but when the scores came out, wasn't he still in the top ten of the whole school?”

“These damn Overseers, is this an assessment that a human could come up with?”

“Why assess this of all things, the Basic Evolution Method? And learning skills on the spot, damn it!”

Outside the venue, Fang Ran, walking along, could hear curses from time to time.

And in this vicinity, the gathered crowd was even larger.

Those giving out water, giving out food, offering free rides, and also the Beast Tamer hiding in the dark.

Lu Yong's figure, extremely nervous, came to Fang Ran's side.

“Fang Ran, how did you do on the exam? Good thing I got the Lighting Technique to the introductory level at the last second, otherwise I'd be completely finished!”

“Me? I guess it's going to be tough.”

Fang Ran sighed.

He wasn't joking.

The score line for the three assessments combined would probably be around 2300 points.

Fang Ran got 0 points in the second assessment; even if he performed perfectly in the other two, it would only be 2000 points at most!

“Don't be discouraged, you can only blame the Overseer for being so awful this time!”

Lu Yong patted Fang Ran's shoulder to comfort him.

Then he suddenly thought.

This damn guy just started school, he still has plenty of time and opportunities!

He's the one with no real chance, what am I comforting him for!

...

Meanwhile.

After everyone left.

A Overseer responsible for collecting the skill manuals handed a manual to Wang Long.

“Senior Wang Long, we found that some Beast Tamer were randomly scribbling on the meridian diagram.”

“Scribbling on the meridian diagram? It's just a copy.”

Wang Long didn't pay attention.

Assessment scores were graded by machine, and the meridian diagrams wouldn't be sent to anyone's hands.

Furthermore, there were no names on the meridian diagram, naturally preventing the possibility of cheating.

“Bring it here and let me see.”

To be on the safe side, Wang Long still decided to be responsible to the end.
