In the intelligence he knew, there were at most one or two people who could match him in strength.
Moreover, these people were ones he knew, but Ye Ling was someone he didn’t know at all.
Li Shengtian was somewhat skeptical about how Ye Ling had become so powerful.
One must understand that on the path of becoming a stronger Spirit Tamer, there were no shortcuts.
To become stronger, one had to constantly fight, spend a large amount of Federation Credit Points to purchase the necessary materials or rare and precious treasures.
In the Federation, there were indeed people who were not from noble families but still became powerful Spirit Tamers.
However, such people were extremely rare.
Moreover, these individuals usually had extraordinary talent and possessed very rare and powerful Spiritual Pets.
But Li Shengtian had never heard of anyone in the school possessing particularly rare Spiritual Pets.
The best-qualified Spiritual Pets were those owned by the children of noble families.
So why did Ye Ling suddenly rise to prominence?
And why did he suddenly attract the attention of so many important figures?
Li Shengtian was now filled with doubts and curiosity.
Although he felt that his spotlight had been stolen, Li Shengtian wasn’t angry at all.
The first phase of the assessment didn’t mean much; only the second phase could truly determine one’s strength.
The second phase was a personal battle, one-on-one.
Li Shengtian had immense confidence in his own strength.
Even when facing the equally powerful Huo Xian’er, Li Shengtian felt he had a good chance of winning.
As for Ye Ling, Li Shengtian didn’t believe he would lose to him.
“Who’s stronger, who’s weaker, we’ll find out tomorrow.”
Li Shengtian wore a confident smile, as if he already had victory in his grasp for tomorrow’s battle.
After the dismissal, the students didn’t immediately go home to rest but had to gather first.
They returned to their respective classes to tally how many had passed the first phase of the assessment.
Ye Ling and Chen Zhi went back to their class.
As expected, in this bottom-ranked class, aside from Ye Ling and Chen Zhi, only three others had passed the assessment.
These three were of average strength but had good luck.
The three of them happened to be close to each other and managed to huddle together for warmth, struggling to survive for three days.
They had tried every possible way to survive, hiding from powerful demons, and barely made it through.
As the saying goes, “Three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang.”
When they found out they had passed the exam, they were overjoyed.
Only five people in the entire class had passed the assessment, which showed how brutal it was, as the remaining dozens were all eliminated.
Even the former top student of the class, Liu Wu, was seriously injured and eliminated.
The Class Teacher was utterly shocked to find out that five students from his class had passed the assessment.
He had originally thought it would be good if two or three people passed, but to his surprise, there were five.
Moreover, in the Class Teacher’s mind, the most likely to pass were naturally Liu Wu and the other two top-ranked students.
But the reality was completely different from his expectations.
None of the three students he had considered passed the assessment.
Now, only Liu Wu was still in the medical room, while the other two hadn’t returned at all.
Not returning meant they had already died in the Secret Realm.
Looking at the five students in front of him, the Class Teacher showed a gratified smile.
At least five students from his class had passed the assessment, far exceeding his expectations.
Although these five were not particularly strong, especially Ye Ling, who was the last in the class, passing the first phase of the assessment meant they were destined to become Spirit Tamers.
Even if it was the lowest-ranked Spirit Tamer Academy, it was still quite good.
This was the Class Teacher’s most genuine thought at the moment.
It wasn’t his fault; everyone present, including Chen Zhi, believed that Ye Ling had passed the first phase purely by luck.
There were always a few lucky ones who could easily overcome difficult challenges.
This was something they couldn’t envy.
Ye Ling naturally knew what the Class Teacher was thinking.
However, he couldn’t be bothered to explain, as there was no need.
His next goal was the top Spirit Tamer Academy, so there was no point in entangling with the Class Teacher over this issue.
It would be a waste of time.
And even if he explained, others might not believe him. Words alone were not enough; who would believe the words of someone who used to be at the bottom of the class?
Even Ye Ling’s good friend Chen Zhi probably wouldn’t believe it.
It was indeed too unbelievable.
“Alright, since you five have passed the first phase of the assessment, I wish you good luck in the second phase.”
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourselves. You already have one foot in the door of becoming Spirit Tamers. I hope you can achieve great things in the future.”
Looking at the five students in front of him, the Class Teacher advised.
