There were many tests at the assessment center. In addition to the five basic ability tests of strength, speed, jumping, defense and intelligence, the most important part was the final practical test.
Before Wei Zhi had entered, Loopy Toad had heard him say that the assessment center had trained the spirit beasts for the practical test.
The abilities of all the test beasts were the same; the only difference was their grades.
The assessment center's usual rule was that after the five basic ability tests, the instructors would directly assess the spirit beast's grade based on its overall ability. For example, if a spirit beast was assessed as a fourth-class spirit beast, it would be assigned a fourth-class test beast for practical combat in the final segment.
If the spirit beast won, its final grade would be upgraded to third-class or kept unchanged based on its performance in the actual combat. But if it lost, it would be demoted by one level.
This rule had been set when the assessment center had first been established, and could actually be considered fairly fair.
The only troublesome thing was the test beasts' abilities.
According to Wei Zhi, all the test beasts in the assessment center were spirit emperor penguins.
Loopy Toad had learned about this type of spirit beast before. Apart from being extremely patient and able to take a beating, they also had an extremely powerful ability to imitate. In a short period of time, they could completely replicate the spells that spirit beasts cast, and could be considered quite versatile.
But they also had a weakness, and that was that their lethality was generally very limited. Thus, spirit emperor penguins were actually the most suitable spirit beasts for the assessment center to use as test beasts.
While Loopy Toad was still thinking about this, a test room had already been emptied. At the same time, a number was announced, and it was Loopy Toad's number: 177.
There were five test rooms in the test hall in total. Wei Zhi had entered room four, and the test room that Loopy Toad was about to enter was room five, which was next to Wei Zhi's.
Loopy Toad glanced at the screen. Wei Zhi and its Pushing Large Butterfly had just started the speed test.
After the number was called, Loopy Toad spat out the number plate from its mouth and waited quietly at the door of room five.
After that, the person who had entered room five to take the test first came out. It was a man in a black trench coat, and the spirit beast behind him was actually a small bone dragon.
This small bone dragon looked very obedient as it followed the man in the black trench coat, but the two balls of hellfire in its eyes looked very terrifying.
Is this guy a foreigner?
Loopy Toad's heart trembled. Spirit beasts like bone dragons were all necromancers, and it was impossible to see them in Huaxiu nation. Furthermore, domestic cultivators mostly pursued auspicious Fengshui, and very few people would want to raise a spirit beast of the Undead type. Therefore, the domestic market was not very good, but this kind of spirit beast was quite popular abroad.
"I really want to see the grade of this Bone Dragon. It should be very powerful."
"But it seems like its owner didn't choose to publicize the video of the test. What a pity! It's rare to see one! "
Discussions could be heard from the surrounding people.
Loopy Toad watched the man in the black trench coat and the little bone dragon as they walked toward the door step by step. When they reached the entrance of the test hall, Loopy Toad saw the man in the black trench coat suddenly pause.
Then, Loopy Toad clearly sensed a powerful spiritual sense bearing down on it.
Trying to test me?
Loopy Toad narrowed its eyes and deliberately released its demon king soul in return.
As a result, the man in the black windbreaker at the door was obviously stunned. Then, he staggered and almost fell.
Loopy Toad sneered in its heart at this scene – a Golden Core cultivator, what the hell was he showing off to it for!
After the man in the black windbreaker left with his bone dragon, Loopy Toad waited at the door for over three minutes before a very greasy-looking middle-aged male instructor came out of the test room. "Mr Two, sorry to keep you waiting. We were clearing the place just now, you can go in and take the test now."
Loopy Toad's lips couldn't help twitching when it heard this form of address.
Mr … Two? This form of address sounded very stupid!
The middle-aged instructor flipped through the information in his hands. "Looking at the information, this should be Mr Two's first time here, right?"
"Mm."
Loopy Toad nodded, then gave the middle-aged instructor a strange look. "Don't you think it's strange that I can speak?"
The middle-aged instructor shook his head with an indifferent expression on his face. "I've been working in this field for more than ten years … There's a good saying: you haven't eaten pork, but you've seen a pig run."
Loopy Toad: "…"
The middle-aged instructor: "Generally speaking, only second-class spirit beasts possess the ability to speak. But I have more than ten thousand spirit beasts appraised under my supervision, and occasionally I'll run into a few that can speak even if they haven't reached a certain grade. According to the requirements of the recently popular organization, the Society of Saints, these spirit beasts should also be exceptionally gifted. "
Loopy Toad: "…"
The middle-aged instructor looked at Loopy Toad and couldn't help laughing. "But you seem to be able to write? That's an exceptionally gifted among exceptionally gifted. Be careful when you go back, otherwise you might really be caught by the Society of Saints. "
Loopy Toad: "The Society of Saints also accepts spirit beasts?"
The middle-aged instructor also looked at Loopy Toad in utter amazement. "You don't even know this? The Society of Saints has a spirit beast class. Do you remember their TV commercial? The few dragonflies that flew past that youngster were all advanced species. "
Loopy Toad was stunned … there was actually such a detail? It hadn't noticed at all!
It should be said that most people's gazes were focused on that youngster from Building Materials High, Chu Yuanhao.
As the middle-aged instructor walked, he looked at Loopy Toad. "It might be an occupational disease that I've developed over the years; I'm far more sensitive to spirit beasts than outsiders. When I saw those dragonflies, I wondered if the Society of Saints had some sort of spirit beast class. In the end, I looked it up online, and there really is one. Furthermore, it seems that they've recently been working with spirit beast appraisal centers all over the country to look for exceptionally gifted spirit beasts. "
"…"
Loopy Toad didn't know why, but it suddenly felt a hair-raising sense of danger.
One man and one dog chatted as they officially arrived at the testing room.
There were several machines in the testing room.
The middle-aged instructor said, "Mr Second should have seen it on the screen outside. Next up are the five basic ability tests. After the tests are over, I'll deduce your grade and arrange for a test beast to fight you in actual combat. "
Speaking up to this point, the middle-aged instructor suddenly had a smug look on his face. "To tell you the truth, I raised all the spirit emperor penguins in this appraisal center!"
Loopy Toad: "You raised them?"
"That's right! Our Ma family has raised all kinds of penguins as a business for generations. "
The middle-aged instructor held up his work ID in front of Loopy Toad and was very proud. "I am Ma Huateng, the only son of the Ma family's thirtieth generation!"
Loopy Toad: "…"
