When Xu Younian arrived, Ye Xuan noticed that the students from Cangzhou University and the high school affiliated to Cangzhou University had already begun entering the Spirit Pagoda.
Ye Xuan looked over and saw that the body of the black Spirit Pagoda was engraved with different beasts.
Every single one of the beasts was very lifelike.
It was as if they could walk out of the body of the pagoda and swallow them whole.
Xu Younian came to accompany Lin Shiru for a while, then excused himself, saying that he had other matters to attend to.
He left only one teacher to accompany them.
The teacher's surname was Nian, and she was a female teacher.
She had known Lin Shiru for a long time.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they interacted. The atmosphere was much better than when Xu Younian was here.
As for Ye Xuan, he focused most of his attention on the students from Cangzhou University.
Because they were about to enter the Spirit Pagoda, many of them had released their beasts.
This was an eye-opener for Ye Xuan.
Before this, he had looked up quite a bit of information about beasts online and watched many videos.
But watching videos was nowhere near as good as interacting with beasts up close.
"Is that butterfly a Scourge Butterfly?"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed, and his gaze fell on a student with shoulder-length hair.
That student was wearing a long black dress. Her features were delicate, and there was a faint butterfly mark between her eyebrows.
Her expression was calm as she stood quietly in the middle of the field.
But no one dared to approach her.
And on her shoulder stood a black butterfly, gently flapping its wings.
Ye Xuan guessed that the Scourge Butterfly was a five-star Gold-grade beast.
It was said that it could create disasters and make the enemy's luck extremely bad.
But such beasts were very rare, and Ye Xuan had only seen bits and pieces of information online, so he did not dare to make a judgment.
When Ye Xuan noticed that female student, Lin Shiru's gaze fell on her as well.
A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she turned her head.
A five-star gold-grade Disaster Butterfly was indeed hard to come by. However, Ye Xuan, who she had found, was much more talented than she had expected.
She believed that when Ye Xuan grew up, he definitely wouldn't be too bad.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but glance at Ye Xuan.
He wondered if Ye Xuan would awaken a decent Beast Taming Talent when he broke through to Black iron level.
And whether he could contract with two more beasts.
Swoosh!
At that moment, three minutes after the Cangzhou University students had entered the black doors of the Spirit Pagoda, a student finally walked out.
But when he walked out of the Spirit Pagoda and saw that he was the only one around, his expression changed, and he looked embarrassed.
Shua shua!
But then, around him, figures after figures were sent out by the Spirit Pagoda.
"The trials of the Spirit Pagoda are not dangerous."
Beside him, Mr. Nian saw the confusion on Ye Xuan's face and explained, "The Spirit Pagoda itself is a very strange thing.
"Not only does it possess spiritual intelligence, but it is also very powerful. Back then, in order to take down this secret realm, Cangzhou sent out two Kings before we finally reached an agreement with the Spirit Pagoda.
"We can allow more than a thousand students to enter here every year to train."
"It possesses spiritual intelligence?"
Ye Xuan looked surprised. Lin Shiru had not told him about this before.
As he thought about it, he suddenly asked in a small voice, "Mr. Nian, can this Spirit Pagoda be used as a beast for us to contract with?"
"That's not possible."
Mr. Nian heard him and shook his head. "According to some historical records, only Innate Spiritual Treasures with spiritual intelligence can be used as a beast for Beast Tamers to contract with.
"But what kind of existence are Innate Spiritual Treasures? No one in Bluestar has ever seen one.
"As for the Spirit Pagoda, according to the Kings' estimations, it was probably created by beasts that were capable of crafting artifacts. They were created using some sort of method, and they could only be used by special beasts. They could not be contracted by us Beast Tamers."
"There are beasts that can refine weapons?"
Ye Xuan felt as if the door to a whole new world had been opened in his heart.
"There are, but they are very rare. Also, the beasts that appear in Bluestar are mostly of low grade and level. They are far from comparable to the powerful beasts recorded in the historical records."
Lin Shiru said from the side.
"Is that so?"
Ye Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
As the few of them chatted, more than five minutes had passed since the first wave of students entered the Spirit Pagoda.
At this time, there were only a few students left in the Spirit Pagoda.
"It's not bad to be able to hold on for so long."
A teacher saw this and said with relief.
After Beast Tamers entered the Spirit Pagoda, they would have to go through waves of opponents that the Spirit Pagoda had selected for them according to their level.
Then, the longer one persisted in there and the more stages one passed, the higher one's final evaluation would be.
Usually, if they could last three minutes in there, they would get a rating of 60 points. That would be considered a pass, and they would get a reward that was neither good nor bad.
If they could last four minutes, they would get a rating of around 70 points.
And so on. Five minutes would get a rating of 80 points.
Six minutes would get a rating of 90 points.
But since the Spirit Pagoda was discovered, there were only a dozen people who could get a rating of 90 points.
There were only three who got a rating of 91 points.
And there was only one person who got a rating of 92 points.
Whoosh whoosh!
Just as the teacher finished speaking, several students walked out of the Spirit Pagoda one after another.
"How was it?"
Seeing them walk out, a teacher immediately went up to them.
"Not good enough. I only got 89 points."
A student who was 1.9 meters tall and had bright red hair shook his head regretfully.
"Sigh, I'm even worse. I only got 88 points."
"I got 87 points."
The other students all shook their heads as well.
But as they shook their heads, the other students in the room looked at them with envy.
For many people, such a result was already beyond their reach.
Ye Xuan saw them dawdling in front of the Spirit Pagoda and was speechless.
They had the feeling that after every exam, a few straight-A students would get together and say, "I got a question wrong, so I'll lose two or three points."
The one who said, "I'm even worse. I took a nap after answering the question, only to realize that I got a question wrong when I was about to hand in my paper."
"Alright, since you're out, get back in line."
The teacher who came up to inquire seemed to be disdainful of their behavior. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed them and let the next batch of students enter the Spirit Pagoda.
In this batch of students entering the Spirit Pagoda, the female student who was suspected to have the Blight Butterfly was among them.
Ye Xuan's eyes lit up. He wondered how long this student would be able to stay in the Spirit Pagoda.
"Oh, right."
At that moment, Teacher Nian seemed to have thought of something. She said to Ye Xuan, "I'm not sure if you know this, Ye Xuan, but the Spirit Pagoda will first assess each student's talent after they enter.
"Students with good talent will also be given preferential treatment when they receive their final rewards.
"Especially students with outstanding talent. They can even choose a psychic power technique from the Spirit Pagoda and bring it out with them.
"Of course, this usually requires a rating of at least 90 points."
She was very curious. She did not know what kind of rating Ye Xuan would receive, given that Lin Shiru thought so highly of him.
Of course, she was not the only one curious.
All the teachers and students of Cangzhou University were curious about Ye Xuan.
"Psychic power technique?"
Ye Xuan said in surprise, "Isn't it said that Beast Tamers can only advance through reverse nurturing from their beasts?"
"Of course."
Teacher Nian nodded. She seemed to be a little surprised that Ye Xuan did not even know about this.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Although there are no techniques in this world that can help Beast Tamers advance, there are techniques that allow Beast Tamers to condense their own psychic power.
"Moreover, these types of techniques, after successfully cultivating them, allow the Beast Tamer to gain a special ability at every level, or at every few levels.
"For example, the Lie Flame Technique or the Gigantism Technique that can be used on beasts.
"And condensed psychic power can make these abilities even more powerful."
"Is it similar to the special talents that Beast Tamers awaken when they advance?"
Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, that's it."
Teacher Nian nodded and said, "But relatively speaking, these kinds of cultivated abilities are mostly weaker than the innate abilities awakened by Beast Tamers."
"You don't have to think too much about this." At this moment, Lin Shiru interrupted from the side. "Jiangzhou University has a collection of dozens of techniques. When you advance to Black iron level, I will choose the most suitable one for you."
But at this point, she paused and said, "Of course, if you can get a better technique in the Spirit Pagoda, it's not impossible."
