Chapter 35 – Ye Ling shines right from the start


Seeing those students who remained calm and immediately began searching for suitable survival spots upon entering, the academy representatives couldn’t help but nod in approval.

However, when they saw students who immediately sought out others for cooperation, they shook their heads.

Although the first test didn’t explicitly state that cooperation was forbidden, one must understand that all students are competitors, regardless of whether they cooperate now or not.

Relying on others instead of oneself at this stage, even if one passes the first test by luck, won’t result in a good ranking in the second combat ranking test.

The first test is merely to filter out unqualified students. The real test is the second one.

But there is a benefit: any student who passes the first test is qualified to enter a Spirit Tamer Academy. Which academy they enter depends entirely on their ranking in the second test.

“I see a few good ones who immediately knew how to find suitable survival spots,” Lu Feng said with a smile, feeling relieved to see some qualified students this time.

At least this time, he wouldn’t leave Skyshine City empty-handed. Although he came here every year to recruit, he didn’t always find suitable candidates. Only those who ranked in the top ten in the second test, usually geniuses, would be accepted by his academy.

Of course, if they weren’t geniuses, the Azure Dragon Spirit Tamer Academy wouldn’t want them. The same goes for other top Spirit Tamer Academies.

If you’re only slightly better than your peers, far from being a genius, even if you enter a top Spirit Tamer Academy, you won’t stand out.

Once in a Spirit Tamer Academy, all cultivation resources either come from one’s family or are allocated by the school. To get school resources, one must demonstrate corresponding strength.

Each Spirit Tamer Academy has a ranking for each grade. Students at the top of the ranking receive more resources, which come from those ranked lower.

Therefore, in every Spirit Tamer Academy, strength is the greatest guarantee. If you’re not a genius, even if you enter a top academy, you’ll face scarce cultivation resources.

In that case, the resources from an advanced Spirit Tamer Academy might even be more plentiful.

Of course, cultivation resources are just one aspect. There are many other factors to consider.

It’s not enough to have a bit of strength to enter a top Spirit Tamer Academy.

“I’ve got my eye on that girl from the Huo family. Her strength is impressive. No need to think further; she’s already decided,” Huo Ling said, her smile never fading as she watched Huo Xian’er on the screen. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was.

Although she wasn’t sure of Huo Xian’er’s exact strength, Huo Ling had already communicated with Huo Qingshan before coming here. She knew that Huo Xian’er’s strength had at least reached First Rank, Seventh Level. With such strength at her age, entering a top Spirit Tamer Academy was no problem.

The other three representatives exchanged wry smiles. What could they do? After all, Huo Xian’er was from the Huo family and would undoubtedly enter the Black Tortoise Spirit Tamer Academy. Losing a genius meant one less candidate for them.

The most heartbroken was Hong Xiu, as the Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy only accepted female students. Such a talented girl being pre-selected by the Black Tortoise Spirit Tamer Academy naturally made Hong Xiu very frustrated. If it had been a boy, she wouldn’t have cared as much.

At this moment, the screen shifted to Ye Ling. When the academy representatives saw that Ye Ling had been teleported to the mountain peak, they were all a bit surprised.

Typically, students wouldn’t be teleported to such a dangerous place.

Even Shang Lingkong frowned, clearly not expecting this. However, Ye Ling remained calm and quickly found a way down the mountain.

Shang Lingkong nodded in approval, satisfied with Ye Ling’s calm and composed response. Most importantly, Ye Ling wasn’t from a prominent family.

“Looks like his luck is bad, encountering a Fourth Level Steel-winged Bird. He’ll probably be eliminated,” the representatives said, shaking their heads as they saw the Steel-winged Bird targeting Ye Ling. They had noticed that Ye Ling was at the bottom of his class.

With his limited strength, how could he handle the Steel-winged Bird? They were certain Ye Ling had no chance.

Especially when they saw the Steel-winged Bird dive rapidly, they thought Ye Ling would press the emergency teleport button on his wristwatch.

But the result was completely unexpected. Ye Ling’s spiritual pet, Blood Phantom, merely showed its claws, scaring the Steel-winged Bird away.

“How is that possible?!”

“Why did it retreat immediately?!”

“What kind of spiritual pet is that?!”

The representatives were all astonished, wondering what kind of spiritual pet Ye Ling had. How could a single move scare off the Steel-winged Bird?
