"You're right, Brother Yan. Back then, it took us an hour to pass the first stage. The Thousand Beast Atlas's aura is no laughing matter."
"To become a Rank 4 beast appraiser, one must first be unafraid of the pressure emitted by wild beasts. If one isn't brave enough, he won't be able to become a beast appraiser. This tea is still a little hot, but it does taste good."
The two Rank 4 beast appraisers clearly knew how difficult the first stage was. If Lin Jin couldn't even pass the first stage, there was no need to proceed with the rest of the assessment.
However, just as Appraiser Yan blew on the tea leaves in his cup and was about to take a second sip, he froze.
Because he saw a man and a beast enter the hall. When the man got closer, he bowed and said, "Greetings, appraisers. I'm Lin Jin."
The two Rank 4 beast appraisers couldn't hide their astonishment.
Appraiser Yan mused, 'I just took a sip of tea and it's still boiling hot. How did this man get past the Thousand Beast Atlas's aura and enter the hall?'
'How long did he take? '
It was just a matter of a few sentences.
Lin Jin bowed but didn't receive a response. Hence, he said, "I'm Lin Jin. Greetings, appraisers."
Only then did Appraiser Yan and Appraiser Yan come to their senses.
Despite their shock, they knew that Lin Jin had passed the first stage with unbelievable speed. Speaking of which, they were in charge of the first stage's assessment.
Since Lin Jin could walk in, it meant that he had passed the test.
Appraiser Yan put down his teacup and got up to return the salute.
"Appraiser Lin, please leave through the side door and head to the backyard. There will be other beast appraisers there to conduct the assessment," Appraiser Yan said without the slightest hint of arrogance.
Although he was a Rank 4 beast appraiser, he knew that Lin Jin's ability to pass the first stage so smoothly was proof of his strength. There was a high chance that he could pass the Rank 4 assessment.
Once he passed, Lin Jin would be a Rank 4 beast appraiser on equal footing with him so he wouldn't put on airs.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jin quickly thanked him before heading for the side door.
After Lin Jin and Senior Mo had left, the other Rank 4 beast appraiser said, "This man's future is limitless."
"Mhm, Lin Jin from Jade Dragon Kingdom. I'll remember him. Come, let's go see if he can pass the next stage." Appraiser Yan stopped drinking his tea. He was more curious about Lin Jin's assessment results.
After all, the man's time of passing the first stage had definitely broken all records. Even 'Mr. Zhong' couldn't be this fast when he was young.
Driven by their curiosity, the two Rank 4 beast appraisers immediately got up and headed for the side door.
By now, Lin Jin had a rough idea of how to conduct a four-ring evaluation.
The Rank 4 beast appraiser was a Rank 4.
The logic was simple. If one wanted to become a Rank 4 beast appraiser, they would have to face at least Rank 3 or Rank 4 beasts. They might even have to face Rank 5 beasts.
When encountering such a situation, one absolutely could not be timid. Therefore, dealing with the pressure of the ferocious beast became a necessary ability.
However, this was clearly Lin Jin's forte.
One had to know that the Museum of Deadly Beasts had collected many specimens of terrifying beasts. Although they were just specimens, they still retained their original aura and pressure.
Lin Jin often stayed in such environments, so he was already used to the pressure exerted by Rank 5 and even Rank 6 and above beasts.
When the Nine Heavens World was activated, the aura that descended from the heavens was many times stronger than the Ten Thousand Beast Atlas at the entrance.
Lin Jin wasn't afraid of it so passing the first stage was a piece of cake.
Exiting from the side door, Lin Jin saw a long alley with brick walls on both sides. The walls were about twenty feet tall. The width of the alley was only slightly more than five feet, but it was at least two hundred feet long.
Lin Jin took a quick glance before walking forward.
Just then, a mad bull as tall as a grown man charged in from the side door.
The raging ox-beast had four horns, and was extremely muscular. Its eyes were bloodshot as it charged forward, glaring at Meng Hao.
Lin Jin remained where he was.
He could see that the mad bull's ears were stuffed with something. Some kind of spell had been cast on it, causing it to go berserk. Since it couldn't hear anything, Lin Jin couldn't comfort it even if he wanted to.
It seemed like killing it was the only way to prevent it from hurting him.
However, now that it was confirmed that this was part of the Rank 4 beast appraiser's assessment, things couldn't be that simple.
Hence, he couldn't kill it.
For anyone who was capable of participating in the Rank 4 beast appraiser's assessment, killing this mad bull was a piece of cake. Hence, killing the bull wasn't part of the assessment.
Lin Jin figured it out after some thought.
He raised his hand and pressed it against the air, releasing his aura. When the mad bull was still several feet away from him, it collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.
This was the power of a beast's aura.
Previously, the Ten Thousand Beast Atlas was a test of one's endurance. Now, it was a test of one's ability to control and suppress beasts. Similarly, these were all necessary skills to become a qualified beast appraiser.
To Lin Jin, this was nothing. He passed the test easily.
He strode over and walked past the suppressed mad bull. The latter remained motionless, maintaining a submissive posture.
Lin Jin simply walked past it.
Appraiser Yan and Lin Jin had been watching from behind, so they could see everything clearly.
Once again, looks of disbelief appeared on their faces.
"Using his aura to suppress a peak Rank 3 mad bull without the help of a pet beast, he sure is skilled."
"Pet beast? Look at the jade dragon beast. It doesn't have a blood contract with Lin Jin at all. And if I'm not mistaken, that jade dragon beast is a monster."
"What? A monster? How dare this Lin Jin? Isn't he afraid of the monster's backlash? "
"Of course he wouldn't be afraid if he's strong enough. I'm getting more and more curious. Come on, let's keep following him."
Appraiser Yan and Lin Jin continued forward.
Now that Lin Jin had left, the mad bull regained its footing. However, just as it was getting restless, Appraiser Yan suppressed it.
A Rank 4 beast appraiser was obviously far superior to a Rank 3 beast appraiser.
However, Appraiser Yan was able to suppress the mad bull by touching it with his palm while Lin Jin was suppressing it through the air. Judging from this, Lin Jin was clearly more skilled.
This was also why Appraiser Yan and the others were curious.
After exiting the alley, Lin Jin arrived at a small courtyard where a Rank 4 beast appraiser was reading a book. He was stunned to see Lin Jin enter.
"Are you Appraiser Lin Jin who's here to participate in the Rank 4 evaluation today?" the Rank 4 beast appraiser asked as if he remembered something.
Lin Jin nodded.
"That fast? I thought you'd need at least two hours to get here, "the Rank 4 beast appraiser said before putting down the book in his hand.
Just then, Appraiser Yan and Lin Jin entered as well. The three Rank 4 beast appraisers discussed among themselves before turning to Lin Jin. "Appraiser Lin, please follow us."
Following the three, Lin Jin arrived at another hall. After waiting for a while, he heard the summons and stepped inside.
Inside, ten Rank 4 beast appraisers were already seated side by side.
Including the three familiar faces from before.
Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat when he saw ten Rank 4 beast appraisers sitting in the hall. With a solemn expression, he went up to them and bowed.
"Greetings, my fellow beast appraisers!"
Ten Rank 4 beast appraisers appeared at the same time. In the entire central continent, only Heavenly Spiral Nation had this kind of power. If any of them were to go to an intermediate country, their status would be so high that they could even sit on the same level as the emperor.
And there were more than twenty Rank 4 beast appraisers in the entire Heavenly Spiral Nation.
Hence, it was only natural that Heavenly Spiral Nation was ranked number one in the central continent.
