Chapter 454 Evolution
It was ridiculous for Ding Fengchun to make that proposal. That being said, the Vice Chairman didn’t interfere when the two parties involved didn’t back down. He was also eager to find out what Su Ping could do.
The special training of the Moonfrost Dragon shown in the video had stirred up his interest. The test had not started yet but the Vice Chairman did hope that Su Ping could prove himself to be an authentic trainer.
Although, the Vice Chairman knew the chances were low.
On the other hand, if it turned out that Su Ping was indeed a trainer, then the Vice Chairman would inquire how Su Ping had trained the Moonfrost Dragon… its improvement was truly remarkable, quite comprehensive. The Vice Chairman could not help but get a little excited, thinking that he might find out the answer.
“Please, let’s go to the test center.”
The Vice Chairman stood up.
Neither Su Ping nor Ding Fengchun had anything to say against that decision. The others followed them as well. They had nothing better to do anyway. Besides, they were eager to find out how this entire mess would come to an end.
The Fire Lord and Lone Star were not interested in an argument among trainers but they were curious about Su Ping’s tests. The young man had demonstrated abilities that frightened the two of them, especially Lone Star. Having fought against Su Ping in person, he was well aware that Su Ping could still defeat him, even if he were to cooperate with the Fire Lord.
Su Ping must be at the very peak of the titled rank.
The best of the best…
If Su Ping had trainer’s skills when he was such a formidable battle pet warrior already, Lone Star’s confidence would suffer a severe
blow.
He did have some level of pride.
Soon, they arrived at the test center.
There were other trainers who showed up this day for their own tests.
The test center was crowded and it had been like this every day.
The trainers waiting their turn were startled when the Vice Chairman arrived with Su Ping, two battle pet warriors at the peak of the titled rank and many master trainers.
What is going on?
The things that happened in the conference room didn’t alarm the people present due to the distance. The people about to take a test had been able to hear some loud noises but they didn’t pay them any mind. Besides, even if they were told that some people were fighting there, they would have laughed their heads off. “Mr. Su, which one do you want to start with?” the Vice Chairman asked Su Ping.
“The first-rank test, then,” Su Ping answered. Since he was there, he was interested to find out what trainers of each rank had to know, which should be common knowledge for the other trainers.
“First-rank? Sure.”
The Vice Chairman was surprised but did not advise Su Ping against it.
Ding Fengchun sneered. “It is pointless to put off the inevitable.”
Su Ping glared at him. Asking another beating?
Ding Fengchun was frightened by the look in Su Ping’s eyes. Although unhappy, he didn’t talk back.
No matter if Fire Lord and Lone Star were there, as well as the Vice Chairman, what Su Ping did had left a mark on Ding Fengchun. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t tolerate the humiliation, he would have rather befriended Su Ping. The man was definitely not a random person. The best decision was to befriend such a man instead of offending him.
Unfortunately, for Ding Fengchun, disaster had emanated from a careless remark. He had offended Su Ping as things stood. He didn’t think Su Ping would appreciate his nice gesture even if he could let go of his dignity. That would bring more shame to him. After all, he had to continue his work at the headquarters. If he were to surrender then, what would his students and other trainers think of him?
“Please,” the Vice Chairman said to Su Ping.
Su Ping followed him to the location for the first test.
“The first-rank test is quite simple. For one, the trainer has to master elementary taming skills. For another, the trainer should master simple astral power synchronization, theoretical knowledge,” the Vice Chairman introduced.
There were no examiners present. Rarely would anyone come to the headquarters for the test of the first rank.
“Theory?”
Su Ping curled his lips. What a vicious test.
“Well, let’s start with the second-rank test. Does it require theoretical knowledge as well?” Su Ping asked.
The Vice Chairman was surprised that Su Ping didn’t know such simple information.
On second thought, he remembered Su Ping was self-taught. “Sure. We don’t have more tests on theory from the second-rank and up. The rest are all practical.”
“Let’s do it then.”
“Second-rank trainers need to tame a beast and taint a white mouse’s fur black within fifteen minutes,” the Vice Chairman stated.
The white mice sure were all-purpose. Even a trainers’ test would need them.
“Let me try it,” Su Ping said. He had never done it before so he wasn’t sure if he could succeed.
Dye the fur black… If he had some hair dye, he would have made it happen within one instant.
It was the first time for Su Ping to hear about dying fur with astral powers.
The onlookers were questioning Su Ping’s abilities. Could he do it?
Zhenxiang and Tongtong stood behind Shi Haochi. Worried, they looked at Su Ping who was standing side by side with the Vice Chairman. They were concerned about him, and at the same time afraid their dad would be implicated because of Su Ping.
They often worried about their frank and too straightforward dad.
Soon, they entered the room. The examiner was overseeing a participant who was a teenage boy. At the moment, the boy was “dying the hair.”
Su Ping saw that the young man was holding an innocent white mouse in his hand, exerting great effort as if he were constipated. Half of the white mouse’s fur had been tainted black.
Su Ping observed how the astral powers flowed with great interest.
He understood the mechanism soon after.
This was to test the trainer’s control of astral powers.
For trainers, astral powers were like scalpels, and manipulating them required great precision.
The Vice Chairman explained the reason for their visit to the examiner, who had been startled by the group. The examiner gazed at Su Ping for a bit when he found out that this was the man who would be tested. The examiner didn’t think of Su Ping as a person who had created a disturbance at the headquarters, but as some big potato’s kid.
Soon, the examiner took out a second-rank Rotting Claw Lizard which was over one meter long. The brownish lizard was poisonous, a savage beast. Su Ping didn’t know anything about taming skills. But he used some astral powers to frighten the little thing into submission and had thus passed the first part of the test.
Coming up next would be to dye the little white mouse’s hair.
The examiner gave Su Ping a cage with a little white mouse inside.
Su Ping opened the door and grabbed the little white mouse. The furry ball was indeed adorable.
He was still nervous, even though he had found out what he was expected to do. He thought of the method he had just learned from the young man and poured astral powers into the white mouse.
The test was to use the astral powers to stimulate the growth of other chromatophores in the white mouse and use more astral powers to stimulate growth.
Soon, the white mouse’s fur began to change color.
It turned black and then blood red.
Su Ping thought of an idea. He secretly poured into some astral powers that contained electric energy. Immediately, the white mouse’s fur turned purple and there seemed to be some bolts of lightning hidden amid its hair.
“What…”
The Vice Chairman, Master Bai, Shi Haochi, and all the others were struck dumb.
They could make the color change many times as well but what was the thing with the bolts of lightning? Not even Master Bai and the Vice Chairman could comprehend that shift. Su Ping put the mouse with purple fur down.
Bzz!
The mouse seemed to be quite excited, even a little bit agitated. The critter patted the cage and electric sparks were still jumping around. Su Ping was happy since his experiment had worked.
The little white mouse was more than a mouse at the moment. It had been able to evolve.
If the white mouse were to be put into the wild, there was a chance that it could become a low-rank beast of the thunder family.
