It wasn't surprising that Gao Jiang was participating in the advancement exam. He had taken the exam last year but didn't pass, so he was taking it again this year.
However, the crowd outside had differing opinions about Lin Jin immediately taking the Rank 2 beast appraiser's examination right after he passed the Rank 1 beast appraiser's examination.
Zhao Ying, Lu Xiaoyun, and Han Dong clenched their fists and cheered for Lin Jin.
They felt that Lin Jin was qualified and capable of becoming a Rank 2 beast appraiser.
Liao Gu and Gu Mengzhong shared the same opinion.
Liao Gu had witnessed Goldy's advancement so he knew that Lin Jin's knowledge was extraordinary. On the other hand, Gu Mengzhong's thoughts were simpler. He had traveled the world in search of famous beast appraisers, hoping to find a way to form a blood pact with an ink monster but to no avail. Lin Jin just happened to be able to help him. Hence, to Gu Mengzhong, Lin Jin's advancement to Rank 2 was a well-deserved one.
Of course, there were also those who didn't believe it.
"This Lin Jin is young and full of vigor. It's inevitable for him to get carried away after achieving some results. While it's true that he has some unique insights in beast evaluation and treatment, and his skills are indeed extraordinary, it doesn't mean he can become a Rank 2 beast appraiser. Every beast appraiser who managed to advance in rank has to go through a long period of accumulation and consolidation. It's not something that can be achieved on a whim. Comparatively speaking, I think Gao Jiang will do better. "Nan Gongxian was the first to speak.
As one of the elders of Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association, he had the right to say such words.
He used to look down on Lin Jin. Even after Lin Jin's sudden rise to power and the support of various big shots, Nan Gongxian still looked down on him.
To him, there was no way Lin Jin could have improved so quickly.
Unless someone was helping him in the dark.
Nan Gongxian felt that if Lin Jin had improved by leaps and bounds recently, it must be because someone was helping him.
And that person must be Elder Du.
As for appraising the mutant egg, Elder Du might have helped Lin Jin in the dark. Otherwise, how could Lin Jin possibly do it alone?
"Elder Du can't be the sole invigilator for the Rank 2 beast appraisal exam. That Appraiser Yu from headquarters is clearly an upright and plainspoken man. Just watch, I refuse to believe that you, Lin Jin, can pass. Perhaps you just want to participate in the exam to increase the topic."
Inside the hall.
Yu Mantang undid the beast talisman seal on the training beast.
In the next moment, the Practice Beast began to glow and transform. In just a moment, it had turned into a Dragon Beast.
Its body was more than twenty feet long, its scales were like well-tempered steel, it had the horns of a rhinoceros, the body of a snake, the claws of an eagle, the tail of a sparrow, the eyes of a fierce tiger, and the teeth of a fierce crocodile.
Under the effect of the Beast Talisman, the Practice Beast transformed into a dragon beast.
"Lin Jin, Gao Jiang, you have two hours. Both of you will appraise and write an evaluation report. You must know that this isn't a Rank 1 beast appraiser's exam. The Rank 2 beast appraiser's exam is much stricter, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's harsh. The evaluation report must also comply with the Rank 2 beast appraiser's rules.
Yu ManTang had a solemn expression on his face.
In his opinion, this errand was a waste of time.
Especially when he saw headquarters' elder's assessment topic on this dragon beast, he understood that this was one of the most difficult Rank 2 beast appraiser's assessment topics.
Many beast appraisers had come to the conclusion that if an appraiser encountered a dragon beast at Rank 2, they would have to work harder next year. This meant that if they were unlucky and encountered a dragon beast, they would basically fail the appraisal.
Only those with relatively easy questions would be able to pass them.
Yu Mantang sympathized with Lin Jin and Gao Jiang, musing that headquarters' elder was too harsh with his assessment. Why did he have to give them the most difficult questions right off the bat?
Even Elder Du and Tan Xun frowned when they saw the Simulated Dragon Beast, let alone him.
Elder Du let out a sigh.
It was common knowledge in the beast appraiser community that it was difficult to advance when encountering a dragon. It would be easier if it were any other beast, but dragons belonged to a very unique branch of beast appraisers. They could even form their own system. To appraise it within two hours and write an evaluation report that met the standards of a Rank 2 beast appraiser was simply too difficult.
Whether it was Lin Jin or Gao Jiang, it was an impossible task.
Gao Jiang paled at the sight of the dragon beast, his confidence waning. On the other hand, Lin Jin's expression remained unchanged.
"Lin Jin, Gao Jiang, just do your best," Tan Xun said.
Gao Jiang rushed forward and began using every means available to appraise the beast. He even brought along some rare appraisal tools. It was obvious that Gao Jiang was struggling. His forehead was already drenched in sweat.
Lin Jin waited until Gao Jiang was done before stepping forward.
To him, it didn't matter which beast it was. The Museum of Deadly Beasts would solve all his problems anyway.
He walked over and reached out to touch it.
Inside the museum, the condensed specimen and the stone tablet that had been appraised appeared at the same time.
The Dragon Beast was naturally one of the rare beasts.
"Rank 2 rare beast, imperial dragon."
"Its beast attribute is metal, fire, and wind. Potential rate: 3."
"Ancestral bloodline. Contains the coiling dragon, water dragon, and jade dragon bloodlines. There are seven ways to activate the bloodline …"
"There are eight obstructed meridians in its body. They are … The treatment method is …"
"There are two ways to activate a dragon's evolution, and four ways to evolve it …"
Every single line was written clearly and clearly.
Lin Jin could have just copied it, but that would be too eye-catching. There were three people watching him. After all, to others, if he were to just write it out, the appraisal would be too fast.
If it was too abnormal, people would definitely notice.
Lin Jin preferred to keep a low profile. He preferred to make a fortune in silence.
Hence, he had to put on a good act and stall for time. Then, he recalled the beast appraisal methods he learned from the museum and began practicing them.
The museum taught many beast appraisal methods and Lin Jin had seen them before. But the one he had the time to study was the 'Shihuang Observation Technique'.
Back in the days, this' Shihuang Observation Technique 'was a compulsory subject in beast appraisers' school. All beast appraisers had to learn it.
It was just that the depth of learning was different.
Shihuang Observation Technique originated from a Rank 9 beast appraiser named Ma Shihuang thousands of years ago. He was the one who created the technique. The observation technique included observing the beast, observing its fur, touching its bones, detecting its aura, distinguishing its scent, assimilating its spirit, and touching its soul.
It was said that there were a total of thirty-six chapters in Shihuang Observation Technique.
But over the years, many chapters had been lost. Only twenty-four of them remained. Among them, there were sixteen upper chapters and eight lower chapters.
What was taught in the school, or rather, what most beast appraisers were exposed to, were the eight lower chapters. Even so, there were only a few who could learn the remaining eight chapters and fully comprehend them.
Someone once said that one could appraise beasts after learning three of Shihuang's chapters.
In other words, one could appraise beasts after learning three chapters. One could imagine how amazing this' Shihuang Observation Technique 'was.
The 'Shihuang Observation Technique' that Lin Jin saw in the Museum of Deadly Beasts was a complete set of thirty-six chapters. Other than that, there were also detailed explanations. Even if he only studied it a little, he could write a complete evaluation report on his own without the Museum of Deadly Beasts' help.
