Meanwhile, inside the monitoring room of the Trial Space.
The supervisor, Xu Feng, stared intently at the glowing central screen, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
On the screen, all trial takers' point data were displayed in real time, along with the system's potential rating calculated from the points.
"Is this the best Lin Yuan City's students can do?"
He shook his head in disappointment, "Other than Chen Ziming barely reaching A-class, the rest aren't even close to B-class..."
Just as he was about to shift his gaze away, a flicker in the corner of his eye caught an abnormal data point.
Gu Xing!
The points behind this name were skyrocketing at a near-terrifying speed:
200...500...2000...
Finally, right before everyone's eyes, it broke straight through the 5000 mark!
"This..."
Xu Feng's pupils contracted sharply.
You have to understand, the highest other students could manage was just a few hundred points; even Chen Ziming was only at just above 2000.
Yet this unremarkable student... actually scored 5000 points!
How is this possible?!
Xu Feng slapped the table and shot to his feet, "Why is his point growth so insane?"
The staff beside him spoke up cautiously:
"Could he have just been lucky? Maybe he stumbled onto two groups of beasts fighting, and happened to be nearby..."
Clearly, that kind of explanation didn't convince Xu Feng.
"Absurd!" Xu Feng cut him off sharply, "Bring me all of Gu Xing's info!"
The staffer didn't dare hesitate, immediately fetching Gu Xing's file and passing it to Xu Feng.
After reading through it, Xu Feng's brows furrowed even deeper.
Gu Xing contracted a Guardian Beast that had been labeled "crippled," and yet could still achieve such dazzling results.
But in the next moment, as if thinking of something, his pupils constricted again.
"Could it be... that Angel Guardian Beast has recovered?"
Back when that Angel-type Guardian Beast first appeared, it caused a huge commotion throughout Lin Yuan City.
Naturally, Xu Feng had heard about it; but when he learned about its "can't level up" defect, he'd stopped paying attention.
But now, with Gu Xing showing such terrifying potential, it was obviously tied to that Guardian Beast.
The Guardian Beast that had been deemed "crippled" was very likely completely restored!
On the screen, Gu Xing's points were still climbing.
The potential rating line had already jumped up to S-Class!
Xu Feng's hands trembled involuntarily...
A genius at this level... this already goes beyond his authority.
"Quick!" He spun to his assistant, voice stern, "Notify the City Lord immediately!"

[Divine Angels (Liu Li)]
[Qualification: Legend One Star]
[Level: Awakening Tier Three]
[Power: 98]
[Constitution: 96]
[Spirit: 94]
[Speed: 107]
[Skills: Judgment (increased damage to Demon Race creatures), Divine Protection (immune to one fatal attack), Blazing Angel Form (All Attributes boosted by 200%), Song of the End (causes Angel to enter slumber after use)]
After three hours of levelling up, Liu Li had finally reached Awakening Tier Three, getting close to Tier Four.
And Liu Li's attributes were nearly triple those of a normal Tier Three Guardian Beast!
Beside them, a flash of golden arcs whizzed past, and several Elite Tier Three Magic Beasts that had been attacking Liu Li were instantly chopped in half.
In the next moment, Gu Xing's body trembled, and the spiritual power in his mind surged again.
That meant Liu Li's level had already reached Awakening Tier Four!
"There still aren't enough Magic Beasts here..."
Gu Xing made a comment that was beyond all reason.
But for him, if only there were more monsters to grind, maybe he and Liu Li's levels could reach Awakening Tier Five already.
After all, for Liu Li now, wiping out these Low Tier Magic Beasts took literally no effort.
Once the enemies were taken care of, Liu Li flicked her wings.
Confirming she hadn't gotten any of the enemies' blood on herself, she finally strolled over to Gu Xing's side.
"Master, while fighting just now, I sensed an enormous creature in the east. If my Perception is correct, it should be a Magic Beast of Awakening Tier Five."
Hearing this, Gu Xing instantly perked up.
An Awakening Tier Five Guardian Beast—he and Liu Li hadn't encountered even a single one in the past three hours.
Now that they finally spotted one ...
"Liu Li, let's go take it down!"
A Tier Five Magic Beast would be enough for Liu Li's level to shoot up another whole step.
Guided by Liu Li's senses, the two crept quietly forward.
Sure enough, it was an Awakening Tier Five Magic Beast, and its quality wasn't bad either!
[Bloodthirsty Tiger (Demon)]
[Qualification: Excellent Nine Stars]
[Level: Awakening Tier Five]
[Power: 71]
[Constitution: 74]
[Spirit: 52]
[Speed: 69]
[Skills: Blood Fury Bite, Fierce Tiger Pounce]
Staring at the Excellent Qualification Five Tier Magic Beast, Gu Xing couldn't help but click his tongue internally.
Compared to those Elite Qualification Low Tier beasts, this one's attributes were in a whole different league.
Also, due to being converted, Magic Beasts of the same rank are generally stronger than Guardian Beasts.
That's one reason why it's so hard to level up in the Alternate Space!
But as for now, facing this Awakening Tier Five Magic Beast, Gu Xing's confidence didn't waver in the slightest.
With Liu Li's over-100 attributes, up against this Tier Five Magic Beast...
It would be over in two swings at most!
But as Gu Xing and Liu Li moved in for the kill, they realized someone else had gotten there first.
No, wait ...
Rather than "got there first," it was more like this Magic Beast had hunted down its prey!
Down below, in a shadowy gorge, the Bloodthirsty Tiger was leading three Awakening Tier Four Magic Beasts, backing a five-person squad into utter despair.
The strongest in the group was just a Tier Three Beast Master; right now, everyone looked deathly pale.
"C-Captain..."
One team member trembled as they looked at the girl in the center, voice filled with hopelessness.
Shen Ruoxue bit her lip hard, knuckles white from how tightly she gripped her hands.
Confronted with one Tier Five and three Tier Four Magic Beasts, their novice squad didn't even dare dream of escaping.
Right now, the beasts weren't killing them just yet; they were simply enjoying watching their victims struggle.
"Listen up! We may never walk out of this valley. But if we're going to die... we'll tear a chunk of flesh off them first!"
"All Guardian Beasts, focus your attack on that Tier Four Magic Beast on the left!"
"Even if we can't kill it, we'll at least badly injure it!"
"U-understood!"
The four grit their teeth, voices trembling in the face of death.
The Bloodthirsty Tiger licked its fangs with its scarlet tongue—apparently, it was bored of this cat-and-mouse game.
"ROAR—"
With a deafening roar, all four Magic Beasts lunged at once!
As razor-sharp claws tore through the air, Shen Ruoxue could even smell the stench of blood barreling toward her...
Death was right at hand!
Seeing this, Gu Xing didn't hesitate any longer; he instantly commanded Liu Li to strike.
Bottom line, he had to claim the experience from these Magic Beasts for himself!
"Liu Li, activate Blazing Angel Form!"
The situation was critical; only Liu Li's double-attribute Blazing Angel Form could guarantee control of the field.
The moment Liu Li received Gu Xing's order, she unlocked the shackles on her body.
In that instant, the whole world seemed to change!
