"Appraiser Lin, this way!" Wang Xin continued to lead the way enthusiastically, leaving the dumbfounded Li Xinqi and her group behind.
"Xinqi, who was that? Is he a teacher of the academy? Why haven't I seen him before? "a tall student asked curiously.
"His name is Lin Jin. He's from Tan Lin's hometown and he's here for the Rank 4 evaluation. Wait a minute, he, he …" Li Xinqi suddenly realized what was going on and turned to look at Lin Jin's sleeve.
Instantly.
Her breathing quickened.
A four-ringed sleeve.
She rubbed her eyes. She wasn't mistaken. It was indeed a four-ringed sleeve.
In an instant, Li Xinqi froze on the spot.
In fact, she wasn't the only one who saw it. The other students saw it too.
"A Rank 4 beast appraiser? My god, he … he looks about the same age as me. I'm only a Rank 1 beast appraiser. "
"He said he's going to be a teacher. Looks like he's right. A Rank 4 beast appraiser is naturally qualified to be a teacher in the academy. Xinqi, you've found yourself a powerful backer. Right, does he accept students? Xinqi, can you help me ask? I've been here for so long but I haven't officially acknowledged him as a teacher yet. "
"No wonder Teacher Wang was so eager. Tsk tsk, he's a Rank 4 beast appraiser. Xinqi, is this Appraiser Lin really from Tan Lin's hometown?"
Faced with her friends' bombardment of questions, Li Xinqi couldn't hear them clearly. It took her a long time to recover. Truth be told, when Appraiser Lin came yesterday, she didn't think he could pass the Rank 4 evaluation.
After all, a Rank 4 beast appraiser might not even appear once a year.
There were many Rank 3 beast appraisers who wanted to take the Rank 4 evaluation every year but most of them failed. Even veteran beast appraisers failed.
Li Xinqi had witnessed with her own eyes how an elderly beast appraiser she knew had failed three consecutive Rank 4 appraisals.
After all, that old beast appraiser was highly skilled and knowledgeable. It was already difficult for someone like him to become a Rank 4 beast appraiser. Who would've thought that Appraiser Lin would pass on his first try?
Not to mention, he could even become a teacher in Heavenly Jade Academy.
Unbelievable.
Just then, Li Xinqi recalled Tan Lin's evaluation of Appraiser Lin.
'It's no wonder Tan Lin always holds Appraiser Lin in high regard. Right, Appraiser Lin mentioned that he'll be giving a public lecture tomorrow morning. I have to attend it. 'Li Xinqi made up her mind.
She was not as talented as Tan Lin. In the entire Academy, she was considered a very ordinary person.
It was almost impossible for someone like her to become the student of a Rank 4 beast appraiser.
But now, she saw a glimmer of hope.
"I must attend the public lecture tomorrow."
Lin Jin obviously had no idea what Li Xinqi was thinking. He was very excited as well. Previously, he had been eyeing this Beast Evaluation Hall but it was a pity he couldn't get in. Now, he finally had a legitimate identity and a reason to enter.
"Appraiser Lin, this is the Beast Appraisal Hall. I don't think there's a place like this in the entirety of Continent Center. The hall has four floors and a total of seventy-two rooms. Ten of these rooms are filled with wonders," Wang Xin explained.
Lin Jin nodded as he listened, his eyes darting around.
He could smell the auras of various beasts.
"Inside the Beast Appraisal Hall is a collection of tens of thousands of beast fur specimens from all over the world. There's even a complete set of 'Beast Appraisal Reports'. This is the culmination of the compilation of generations of pavilion masters. Every five years, new content will be added while incorrect content will be deleted. This is the ultimate treasure of the entire Heavenly Jade Academy."
When Wang Xin introduced it here, he was also proud.
Indeed, there were at least hundreds of books on the level of the 'Beast Appraisal Reports'. They contained descriptions and descriptions of beasts from all over the world.
Lin Jin was only aware of this. He also knew that the 'Beast Appraisal Reports' was, in a sense, the same as the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
However, the museum was clearly more mysterious and powerful.
At least the Museum of Deadly Beasts could directly appraise a beast. No matter how strange or bizarre the beast was, the museum could identify it clearly and in great detail.
This was something that nothing else could compare to.
"Usually, only Mr. Zhong is in the Beast Appraisal Hall, completing the Beast Appraisal Reports. Other beast appraisers would occasionally come as well." Wang Xin pointed to the second floor. "But Mr. Zhong isn't here now. At this hour, he should be teaching his students."
Lin Jin nodded.
He mused, 'This is a great opportunity.'
"Appraiser Wang, I'd like to take a look around the Beast Appraisal Hall. Feel free to do as you please, don't mind me." After Lin Jin said that, Wang Xin didn't think much of it.
After all, Lin Jin wasn't the only one who visited the Beast Appraisal Hall. Teachers who came here for the first time would usually take a stroll around the place since it was so famous.
"Alright then. Appraiser Lin, I won't disturb you any longer." Having said that, Wang Xin saluted him and left.
Now, Lin Jin was the only one left in the massive Beast Appraisal Hall.
However, it was impossible for a place like this to be defenseless.
Lin Jin could vaguely sense a unique aura here. Although it was extremely well-hidden, it definitely existed.
This aura was similar to a monster's aura.
However, Lin Jin could ignore it. After all, he wasn't an outsider. He was now an official teacher of the academy so coming to the Beast Appraisal Hall was only natural.
And so, Lin Jin couldn't hold it in any longer and began his recording plan from the first floor.
There were fifteen rooms on the first floor, and they were densely packed with cabinets. They looked a bit like the small square drawers in a medicine shop, but they weren't filled with medicinal herbs, but with the furs and skins of various beasts.
Outside the cabinets, there was a specialized catalog that recorded the items in each cabinet. Of course, it was only a rough record and not a detailed one.
Lin Jin began taking them out one by one to study and touch them.
Some were pelts, some were teeth and claws, and there were even some tails and scales. Lin Jin couldn't care less about the descriptions of these items. He touched them all and immediately put them back.
Because anything Lin Jin touched would be recorded into the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
"Saber-toothed hog, Rank 3 …"
"Thousand-strength four-armed ape, Rank 4 …"
"Earth-toppling bull, Rank 2 …"
"…"
Lin Jin recorded them one by one. Although he wasn't fast, the quantity was guaranteed. In just a short while, Lin Jin had recorded more than a hundred pet beasts' information into the museum.
It was much faster than outside.
Moreover, many of them were rare beasts.
"What a great place!" Lin Jin couldn't resist rubbing his hands together in excitement.
From an outsider's perspective, Lin Jin was fooling around and rummaging around blindly. After all, he only took a quick glance at one drawer before putting it back and opening the second one. Normal beast appraisers wouldn't be so 'sloppy' when studying these things.
About half an hour later, Lin Jin finally finished recording all the pet beasts' information in one of the rooms on the first floor. Lin Jin immediately rushed to the second room.
While Lin Jin was happily recording the pet beasts' information, inside one of the rooms on the fourth floor of the Beast Appraisal Hall, a person who was reading a book was startled when he heard the commotion below.
In a flash, the person appeared outside the door.
