Xue Dili knew of this Ronald, one-sidedly.
In Lieutenant Robert's memory, this child often appeared. Back then, he still looked like an elementary school student, carrying a small backpack to school, awkwardly learning to ride a bicycle.
However, at this moment, looking at this downcast child, hunched back and neck pulled in, the entire person exuding an air of lack of confidence and timidity, it's hard to imagine this is the son of the terrifying giant beast within.
"Lieutenant Robert, have you become conscious?" he asked the giant beast within, its beastly eyes wide open, breathing heavily.
Yet, according to Xue Dili's observation, the giant beast still had no consciousness of its own. In this case, it seemed more like a certain instinct of it had taken over.
Eventually, Xue Dili sighed deeply, perhaps he understood why this child was so downcast.
His father became a giant beast, his mother died there as well, the city was destroyed by his father, and he became displaced. Not knowing what experiences he had along the way, he ended up in the Imperial Capital somehow, and unknown to him which noble took notice, allowing him to enter the Royal Spiritual Ability Academy.
Perhaps it was because he was detected to have spiritual energy talent from a young age, which brought him this bit of luck, otherwise, he might also have been a lost soul in that giant beast disaster.
Having gone through such blows since childhood, yet still able to blend into becoming a Spiritual Ability User, and even when hearing Xue Dili say there was a high chance of death in this experiment, he still dared to come up and take a gamble.
Perhaps this is the last madness of this downcast child.
"Be confident, at your age about to become a spiritual ability user, you've surpassed at least 90% of people." Xue Dili decided to give this child some encouragement.
"Let's begin, the super-speed regeneration ability you wanted."
"Alright, okay, Monarch..." The downcast child seemed to want to straighten his head, but when he saw Xue Dili's sunglasses, he stopped and shrank his neck again.
The girl beside him showed a dissatisfied expression in an instant. At fourteen, she naturally preferred those dashing young boys, so she looked down on someone like him who couldn't raise his head and neck.
The next moment, the flesh of the giant beast numbered zero seemed to resonate with this boy. For some reason, when he touched this piece of beast meat, he felt a very strong sense of familiarity and warmth.
This sense of familiarity and throbbing imprinted in his bloodline suddenly made him want to cry, suddenly wanting to cry loudly, but he didn't dare. This warm bloodline resonance instantly echoed with his soul, and his own Mobius Ring appeared.
Xue Dili was shocked. The first two children had successfully manifested a magic ring under his guidance, but this Ronald, he condensed a magic ring by himself without any guidance.
Moreover, his magic ring was different from others. The patterns on it were very much like the scale patterns on the zero-numbered giant beast.
"Have you obtained the super-speed regeneration ability?" Xue Dili immediately asked.
The downcast child seemed to walk out of the solitude and warmth, silently obeying Xue Dili's request and began using it.
The next moment, Xue Dili felt a massive surge of life energy from this body, making him even more astonished.
His super-speed regeneration could actually work on others!
The super-speed regeneration of the zero-numbered beast could only work on itself and the prerequisite was to obtain enough food.
But now, Ronald's ability mutated to be used on others, while Xue Dili could sense that Ronald's magic ring's capacity limit was far greater than the other two, almost reaching Xue Dili's level.
Is this a real mutation, or...
Zero-numbered giant beast, are you secretly giving your son cheats?
Xue Dili looked at the zero-numbered giant beast in the Consciousness Space. Now, its eyes were no longer wide open, but half-squinted, breathing not as heavily as before, seemingly entering a dormant state again.
Looking at the downcast child whose hands didn't know where to place, Xue Dili said, "Very good. From now on, the three of you are my students. I will guide you step by step in your training from now on, and you don't have to attend other courses."
Xue Dili's words were like a thunderous boom, and at this moment, all the other students were stunned.
This is the Spiritual Ability Academy of the Imperial Capital. Although requiring thirteen or fourteen-year-olds to become spiritual ability users is indeed a bit demanding, it wasn't a strict requirement for these new generation geniuses.
Among this audience, more than ten people were about to reach the level of spiritual ability users, but when they heard the phrase "there is a chance of immediate death," they became afraid and didn't dare to go up.
But when they learned that merely raising a hand made those three directly become the Monarch's students, their jealousy was almost becoming tangible at this moment.
The Monarch's students were different from those who were merely auditing. Simply put, they were equivalent to outer disciples, only able to learn during the Monarch's public classes without differentiation.
And those three were equivalent to direct disciples, able to receive one-on-one mentorship from the Monarch, and from a traditional perspective, at least one of them would become a Monarch in the future, while the other two would be at least quasi-legends.
Had they known this, they would have raised their hands even if it meant death.
But there's no medicine for regret available to them. No matter how regretful they were now, or how they imagined in their hearts that if they had raised their hands back then, they would be the Monarch's students too, even if they couldn't become a Monarch, they would at least be peers with a future Monarch!
