Next, Shang Lingkong began to say a bunch of motivational words, which Ye Ling found uninteresting. The only thing he cared about now was the rewards he had earned.
“Ding! Successfully defeated an opponent in the second phase of the assessment, gaining a 10% increase in current experience points.”
“Ding! Successfully achieved first place in the assessment, earning the talent—Rebirth.”
With some time on his hands, Ye Ling carefully examined the effects of the Rebirth talent.
Talent: Rebirth (1/1). Can be bestowed upon any host’s spiritual pet. A spiritual pet with the Rebirth talent can automatically use this talent to be reborn when near death, restoring all its current strength. Rebirth consumes all experience points at the current level; if experience points are zero, it cannot be activated. Cooldown time is one month.
After reading the description of Rebirth, Ye Ling’s eyes lit up.
All he could say was, this was excellent and powerful.
As expected of a talent granted by the system, its power was simply astonishing.
Although Rebirth would clear all accumulated experience points at the current level, it would restore all current strength upon rebirth.
If he were to be defeated by an enemy in a mutually destructive fight, he could immediately be reborn at full strength, leaving the enemy in despair.
Moreover, as long as there was even a little experience points, this talent could be activated. Even if it consumed experience points, it wouldn’t be a loss.
Of course, it wasn’t without its flaws.
The only flaw was the long cooldown time—an entire month.
But this was understandable. Such a powerful and abnormal ability would be broken without a cooldown limit.
Ye Ling didn’t mind this flaw at all.
Who needs a motorcycle when a bicycle will do?
However, Ye Ling didn’t intend to use this talent immediately.
He didn’t plan to bestow Rebirth upon Blood Phantom.
There was no need, as Blood Phantom already had Super Regeneration, which greatly ensured her survival.
Because of this, Ye Ling decided to save this talent for his second spiritual pet.
It wouldn’t be long before he could break through to the Second Rank.
When that time came, he would contract a second spiritual pet, and Rebirth could be bestowed upon it to increase its survivability.
Although he didn’t yet know what kind of spiritual pet the system would give him, the system’s rewards were unlikely to be disappointing.
After claiming his rewards, Ye Ling turned his attention back to Shang Lingkong.
At this point, Shang Lingkong had almost finished speaking. Behind him, the representatives of the Spirit Tamer Academies all stood up.
“Next, the exciting moment has arrived. The Spirit Tamer Academies will select their desired students from among you to join their academies.
If two academies choose you simultaneously, you’re in luck—you can choose between them.
If only one chooses you, then you’ll join that academy. Alright, without further ado, let the academy representatives begin their selection, starting with the four top Spirit Tamer Academies.”
After a brief explanation, the representatives of the four top Spirit Tamer Academies stepped forward.
“Now, the big screen will display the names of all the students selected by the four top Spirit Tamer Academies,” Shang Lingkong announced loudly, pointing to the big screen beside him.
Upon hearing this, all the students and spectators became extremely tense, their eyes fixed on the big screen.
Soon, the big screen displayed the names of the students chosen by the four top Spirit Tamer Academies.
Some students were chosen by only one academy, while others were selected by two or three, or even all four.
However, the top spot, chosen by all four top Spirit Tamer Academies, was unanimously occupied by one name.
And that name was, of course, Ye Ling, who had secured first place in the assessment.
Previously, all the representatives had already taken notice of Ye Ling, and with the final assessment results, he was undoubtedly the top choice.
“Wow! All four academies chose Ye Ling first!”
“Amazing! Isn’t Vermilion Bird Academy known for never admitting male students? What’s going on…?”
“This is truly an exciting moment. Vermilion Bird Academy is recruiting a male student! The first one in history!”
“Don’t get your hopes up. Ye Ling is just an exception.”
“Exactly. Whether this will happen again in the future is anyone’s guess.”
…
Most of the audience was thrilled with this outcome.
In the past, even if the top spot was contested, it was usually among the children of influential families.
But this time was different—it was an ordinary person, as ordinary as could be.
Of course, “ordinary” was only in the eyes of the audience. Only Ye Ling knew that it was all thanks to the system.
Without the system, he would have been eliminated in the first phase of the assessment.
This outcome was somewhat surprising to all the academy representatives.
The surprise, of course, came from Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy.
Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy, which had never recruited male students, had made an exception this time.
This had never happened before in the history of Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy.
And Ye Ling was the first in the Federation’s history.
This was an immense honor.
“Is there even a question? It has to be Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy. Even if they didn’t give me any resources, I’d still want to go.”
“You? It’s still daytime, stop dreaming.”
“Even if you paid the Spirit Tamer Academy, they wouldn’t want you, let alone Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy.”
