Chapter 25: What a Pity, Such a Genius, Delayed by a Trash Contracted Beast!
Luo Shuiyan's strength truly stirred up a commotion.
Many people became interested in this mysterious genius from Jianghai City.
"Next, it is the Spirit Beast contract test!"
The Beast Tamer strength test is divided into two parts: one part tests the Beast Tamer themselves, and the other part is for the Spirit Beast.
After all, a Beast Tamer relies mainly on their Spirit Beast for combat; if they do not have a powerful Spirit Beast, even if the Beast Tamer has good talent, their combat performance will be greatly affected.
Conversely, if the Beast Tamer's own strength is not outstanding, but they happen to contract a Spirit Beast with strong combat power by chance, it is enough to turn the tide of battle.
"Xiaobai, come here quickly!"
After finishing her test, Luo Shuiyan waved toward Jiang Che's direction, yet there was no response.
Looking up, she discovered that Jiang Che was currently lying on the ground fast asleep, having not heard Luo Shuiyan's words at all.
The onlookers couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight; at such a critical moment in the test, the Spirit Beast had actually fallen asleep.
"This Spirit Beast is quite interesting. To be able to sleep with so many people watching him, his heart is not ordinary."
"The master is a Golden-grade talent Beast Tamer and has already reached the mid-stage of the second level, so the Spirit Beast must be extraordinary; otherwise, he wouldn't be sleeping so peacefully."
Hearing the crowd's discussion, Luo Shuiyan couldn't help but feel embarrassed and hurriedly ran to Jiang Che's side.
"Xiaobai! Wake up!"
Luo Shuiyan picked Jiang Che up directly and shook him vigorously.
This was the critical moment of the test; she absolutely could not afford to mess up.
"Ah, what's the situation? Is there an earthquake?"
Sure enough, the violent shaking was very effective; Jiang Che quickly woke up and found himself being held in Luo Shuiyan's arms.
"Is the test over? Can we go back to sleep now?"
Jiang Che rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered in a low voice.
Luo Shuiyan was helpless upon hearing this, "Not yet. Wake up first; you have to take the test next."
"Huh?"
Jiang Che was slightly stunned. He had originally thought this test only concerned Luo Shuiyan, never expecting that he would have a part in it too.
Before Jiang Che could react, Luo Shuiyan ran back to the testing area while holding him and placed Jiang Che into the instrument.
Just as Jiang Che stood steady, a silver-white light enveloped him; clearly, the instrument was in operation.
"Unknown purple Spirit Beast!"
"Bloodline: Black Iron-grade!"
"Level: Sixteenth-level!"
……
As the report sound rang out, the entire venue fell into silence.
Having seen Luo Shuiyan's exceptional talent and Jiang Che's extremely calm demeanor, everyone had assumed Jiang Che's bloodline would likely not be bad either.
But no one expected the final test result to be so shocking.
"Did I hear that wrong? What did it just say? Black Iron-grade?!"
"In this day and age, someone actually contracted an F-grade Spirit Beast? Are they joking?"
"Is there a mistake? A Golden-grade talent Beast Tamer actually contracted a Black Iron-grade bloodline Spirit Beast? Isn't that a total waste of talent? It's simply a waste of a heavenly treasure!"
After a brief moment of shock, the sound of people discussing erupted in the plaza; no one had expected this kind of result.
However, some people pondered for a moment before frowning and saying in a deep voice.
"That girl is from Jianghai City... could it be that because she comes from a poor background, she couldn't afford a high-level Spirit Beast?" "I think that's very likely. Otherwise, how could a Golden-grade talent contract a Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast? I wouldn't even want this kind of lowest-tier Spirit Beast if it were given to me for free!"
Many people present felt this possibility was more likely.
After all, no one is willing to voluntarily contract an F-grade Spirit Beast unless forced by circumstances.
"Tsk tsk tsk, if that's really the case, this is a good seedling sent by the heavens!"
"I must recruit this girl and let her contract a stronger Spirit Beast; such strong talent must not be delayed!"
Many people had already intended to recruit Luo Shuiyan.
Now, seeing that Luo Shuiyan's Spirit Beast was merely an unknown Black Iron-grade creature, this only strengthened the resolve of some large families.
Jiang Che's bloodline and level were simply too eye-catching.
Although Jiang Che had already broken through to a Second-tier Spirit Beast, which was stronger than the Spirit Beasts of many people present.
But in the eyes of those present, an F-grade bloodline Spirit Beast had already reached its limit at the second tier, and it could be said there was no future development potential.
"When we took the strength test, our Spirit Beasts were only at the first tier. I didn't expect Luo Shuiyan's Spirit Beast to be at the second tier; she truly deserves to have the talent of Beast Heart Communion!"
"Indeed, this Golden-grade talent must not be buried, otherwise even the heavens might get angry!"
Jiang Che's very outstanding level only served to highlight Luo Shuiyan at this moment.
"Xiaobai, don't listen to their nonsense."
Hearing the people around them making sarcastic remarks about Jiang Che, Luo Shuiyan frowned and hugged Jiang Che, comforting him softly.
"They have mortal eyes and simply don't know your strength."
"It doesn't matter, let them say whatever they want."
Luo Shuiyan's worry was unnecessary; Jiang Che just stretched, changed into a more comfortable position, and didn't care about these words at all.
In Jiang Che's view, strength is what matters most; just moving one's mouth is useless.
Furthermore, as a Human Tamer, it was better to keep a low profile; letting others take the spotlight was perfect, as he could both save his life and lie flat.
Luo Shuiyan waited on the spot and did not leave.
After the bloodline and level test, there was still a practical combat test, and the total score would be determined by the overall performance.
The practical combat test mainly examines the tacit understanding and cooperation between the Beast Tamer and the Spirit Beast.
After all, a Beast Tamer and a Spirit Beast complement each other; only when the two are combined can a Beast Tamer's strongest combat power be unleashed.
Before this, there were some Beast Tamers who contracted Spirit Beasts that, while powerful, had very stubborn temperaments.
After the battle, the two would disregard each other, and as a result, they were defeated by even weaker opponents.
In the beast-taming world, this is also a common occurrence.
Therefore, whether the final results are good or not still requires the test of actual combat.
And actual combat is also the area where Luo Shuiyan is most confident.
As an Empress reincarnated, plus a Spirit Beast possessing the bloodline of a divine beast, for Luo Shuiyan, the moment for her true performance is about to begin.
After another hour passed, the bloodline grade test finally concluded.
During this period, a youth who was a three-star Intermediate Beastmaster actually appeared.
He was the person with the highest rank in this test, truly basking in infinite glory and receiving the admiring gazes of the entire venue.
Luo Shuiyan also glanced sideways slightly, not expecting that someone had actually cultivated to the three-star Intermediate level.
Hearing people nearby mention it, this person is a scion of a great noble family from Xi'an.
