Chapter 455 Seventh-rank Test

“Did I pass it?” “Yup.”

The examiner nodded at once. The white mouse’s fur was like a rainbow. Of course, Su Ping had passed the test.

But just to be safe, he checked the little white mouse as part of the routine. He received an electric shock the second his finger touched the cage. There was a tingling pain on the tip of his finger. The voltage was not low!

The examiner eyed the white mouse, full of questions.

“Let’s go.”

Su Ping turned around and left without delay.

The Vice Chairman and Master Bai noticed the strangeness of the white mouse. They wanted to check the creature again but decided to go after Su Ping first. Before he left, the Vice Chairman said to the examiner, “Keep that little thing for me.”

He made it sound like he was going to cook the little rodent.

Ding Fengchun didn’t look happy while witnessing this among the crowd. Su Ping had just passed the second test but he was exhibiting a level of confidence that frightened him.

That young man did know training skills.

Ding Fengchun wondered if the Su Ping could enjoy a smooth ride for the remainder of the tests.

Soon, it was time for the third-rank test. Su Ping had to practice his skills on a real beast.

The mission was to make a beast at the peak of the second rank progress to the third rank!

The beast at the peak of the second rank had been at such a state for a long time and was on the verge of a breakthrough. Therefore, the mission wasn’t a particularly hard one.

The beasts were nurtured and raised specifically for the third-rank test. The rank they were at had been tested by professional devices.

Usually trainers would apply astral powers as a training skill, which was a must-learn for elementary-level trainers.

The trainers would pour out their astral powers, converting them into the beasts’ energy. The conversion rate was low and much astral power would be wasted. However, this skill was enough to propel a breakthrough for beasts that were stuck at a bottleneck.

During the test, Su Ping realized he knew next to nothing about some skills that should be a common thing for most of the trainers.

Even though he couldn’t convert his astral powers directly, he could imbue the beast with other energy.

For example, taking advantage of the rules of thunder.

For the third-rank test, Su Ping didn’t choose that. He turned to the way he was most skilled at.

Inspiration by death!

Deterrence!

Just one look and the second-rank Storm Ear Rabbit lost its mind.

Just as the Storm Ear Rabbit squeaked wildly to his intimidation, it reached the third rank directly.

That was the highest rank a Storm Ear Rabbit could reach, limited by its bloodline. The Storm Ear Rabbit would have to evolve for it to climb to a higher rank.

Su Ping had an accurate control of his killing intent. He let out enough killing intent that could make the little rabbit feel danger and despair, but not so much that it could drive it the little thing crazy.

Under that level of stimulation, the Storm Ear Rabbit made the breakthrough. It was so quick that even Su Ping was surprised by the result.

The Vice Chairman, Master Bai, Shi Haochi, and everyone else were struck dumb. This was the first time for them to see a method like that.

Although astonished, the Vice Chairman was amazed. It was true. Trainers from other base cities could come up with unorthodox and creative ways.

One could not say that the unconventional ways were wrong. After all, those methods had also been proven effective with repeated practice. Such methods could turn out to be more useful than traditional training skills.

The other test participants would have acted by the book, using their astral powers directly.

Afterward.

Su Ping passed the following tests from the fourth, fifth, and the sixth rank.

Soon, they reached the area where the seventh-rank test was.

The tests were becoming increasingly harder and the missions had become more diversified. For example, in the sixth-rank test, the trainers were required to better the beast’s constitution and at the same time, arouse a killing intent in the beast.

The beast’s character played a big role in the beast’s strength.

A mild beast was like a flower in a greenhouse.

On the other hand, violent beasts could deter other beasts of the same rank easily. Some rare and barbaric beasts could even overwhelm beasts at a higher rank.

‘All lay load on the willing horse.’

That saying really made sense.

To nurture the cruelty in a beast was something trainers had to learn.

Then came the seventh-rank test!

The onlookers were filled with mixed feelings.

They had reached this point so quickly…

It was as if the tests were as simple as they could get for Su Ping. No one could claim that Su Ping was not a trainer at this point! Having passed the sixth-rank test, Su Ping was at least a sixth-rank trainer.

For a person his age, according to his appearance, that was a stunning enough achievement.

Besides, Su Ping had proven that he was not a liar.

His name was Su Ping and came from the Longjiang Base City. He was a trainer. While he had not taken the eighth-rank test yet, people had already decided that Su Ping had to be the person who had been invited.

The Vice Chairman could barely contain his excitement.

Knowing that the miraculous Moonfrost Dragon had been trained by Su Ping, the Vice Chairman wished he could drag Su Ping to some place private to have a good discussion about that.

Shi Haochi was gloating; his trust had paid off. Su Ping was indeed the guest they were expecting Among the crowd, Ding Fengchun had been walking around silently.

He wished time could travel slowly…

Just so that he could delay the moment he would have to kneel in front of Su Ping.

He would slap himself in the face if he could turn back time. He was close to the Xiao Family, which was why he stood out for Xiao Fengxu when they argued. Back then, Ding Fengchun couldn’t have foreseen that he was setting himself up! People said that one should stand with those on the side of reason, and not be moved by entreaty, prayer, or tears from friends or relatives. People were right.

If Ding Fengchun had been reasonable, none of this would have happened.

At the moment, Ding Fengchun was not in the mood to argue with Su Ping anymore. Su Ping was a person that was both a battle pet warrior and a trainer. There had to be someone teaching Su Ping; such a person was not someone he could afford to displease.

“He truly is a trainer.”

Standing by the Vice Chairman, both Fire Lord and Lone Star shared bitter feelings.

Their confidence was crushed.

They didn’t have so much energy to train to become battle pet warriors while studying training skills at the same time, not to mention making great achievements in both fields.

“Mr. Su, we have no examiners here. I’ll be your examiner,” the Vice Chairman said. He could not wait to find out how Su Ping was going to finish this test. Up until that moment, Su Ping had never used a method he had seen before.

Every time, Su Ping would use an unconventional way, which was both surprising and stunning.

“Works for me,” Su Ping answered.

He wasn’t afraid that the Vice Chairman would trick him. On the off chance that he tried such a thing, he would just make another scene.

The Vice Chairman smiled and showed Su Ping the way. He didn’t have Su Ping tame a beast. Rather, he directly took Su Ping to the location where training skills were tested.

“I believe Mr. Su can contain any beast under the ninth rank. So, taming skills are unimportant to you.”

The Vice Chairman laughed.

From the previous tests, he could tell that Su Ping had no mastery of taming skills. Yet, given Su Ping’s horrifying strength, that was not a problem.

After all, taming skills were used by trainers who aimed at subduing much stronger beasts.

Su Ping would frighten the beasts so much that they would shudder and allow Su Ping do anything to them. That deterrence worked better than any taming skill.

Su Ping nodded. The test on taming skills was surely pointless. Zhenxiang and Tongtong were still following the crowd. All of a sudden, they remembered what had happened the day before, when they saw Su Ping there. That dragon had lost control. They thought the dragon was going to hurt Su Ping when it suddenly got down to the ground, shivering

sa

They thought the dragon had gotten sick.

After all, anyone would have to surrender to the calls of nature and girls had to suffer for a few days every month. The two girls thought it was the same thing for the beasts.

Then, they realized that the beast had been intimidated by Su Ping.

The two girls were frustrated, since they had worked so hard but failed to control the beast when Su Ping could deter it so easily. Why were they so much weaker than him?

“For the seventh-rank test, you can choose any one of the three beasts. You can either better its constitution or enhance its skills. The time limit is two hours. You will pass the test if your work is up to standard,” the Vice Chairman said to Su Ping. He handed an illustration with three beasts to Su Ping.

The three beasts were of the combat family, the element family, and the demon family respectively.

The one from the demon family was the most difficult of all. But if he could succeed, he could get a higher score.

Of course, anyone passing the seventh-rank test, regardless of the score, would be a seventh-rank trainer. Still, there was a difference in the group as well. Take getting to college as an example. Of the students admitted to the same college, some would have had a higher score while some might barely manage to pass.
