A flash of white light appeared, and Liu Yi, Ziyue, and Chiying found themselves in a brand new space.
Unexpectedly, this floor had no testing equipment, only a simple platform.
【Twentieth Floor: Potential Assessment】
【Challenge Objective: None】
【Description: Pet potential will be assessed based on performance on the first nineteen floors】
【Analyzing data...】
A few minutes later, two assessment reports were projected into the air.
【Silver Snow Fox (Ziyue) Potential Assessment: Attack: Outstanding, Defense: Excellent, Speed: Outstanding, Energy Control: Excellent, Growth Potential: Outstanding, Overall Evaluation: Outstanding】
【Moling Dragon (Chiying) Potential Assessment: Attack: Outstanding, Defense: Outstanding, Speed: Excellent, Energy Control: Excellent, Growth Potential: Outstanding, Overall Evaluation: Outstanding】
“Outstanding?” Liu Yi murmured the result.
She wasn't sure if this evaluation was considered high.
【Congratulations on passing the Twentieth Floor!】
【Reward Unlocked: Tower of Trials Pet Custody Service】
【Instructions: Pets can independently challenge and train on any floor within the first twenty floors】
Liu Yi: “Oh?”
This reward seemed quite good; it meant she wouldn't have to waste her morning time anymore.
Every day before class, she could place Ziyue and Chiying in the Tower of Trials to train, while she attended her lessons.
And within the campus, she could completely perceive their status through her Beast Taming Space.
When it was time for lunch, she could simply summon them directly through the Beast Taming Space.
However, Liu Yi still asked them, “Do you want to attend classes with me this morning, or train in the Tower of Trials?”
“Bingbing!”
Ziyue cried out without hesitation, indicating she chose training.
“Moling.”
Chiying thought for a moment, then also chose training.
“Alright, time’s almost up.” Liu Yi checked the time. “Let’s head out.”
She chose to temporarily exit the Tower of Trials.
Returning to the hall at the base of the tower, Liu Yi glanced at the 【Current Student Leaderboard】.
The real-time data for the top three had changed compared to yesterday.
【1. Third-year - Ouyang Qin - 39th Floor】
【2. Third-year - Gao Xue - 37th Floor】
【3. Third-year - Li Chengying - 36th Floor】
Ouyang Qin, in first place, was about to break through the 40th floor, and the second and third place rankings had swapped, but their floor counts had also increased.
Thinking about her current 20th floor, the gap still seemed quite large.
....
The exclusive School Team training ground was located in the northwest corner of the campus, a mobile, independent hemispherical building.
Liu Yi pushed open the training ground door, revealing a spacious interior.
There were four standard battle arenas in the center, surrounded by various training equipment.
It was still a little before four o'clock, but ten members were already training on their own, though they seemed to be divided into two areas.
She guessed that the third-years and second-years had automatically separated, training only with members from their own grade.
Liu Yi’s gaze lingered on the third-year section for a moment.
One girl, in particular, was eye-catching, with two large bear-type pets standing beside her.
One was a Steel-Armored Bear at the Intermediate stage, and the other was a Berserker Bear at the Advanced rank.
“Why are you just standing at the door? Why don’t you come in?”
A voice suddenly came from behind her. Liu Yi turned around to see Wei Xiuyu standing there, holding a water cup.
“Teacher Wei.” Liu Yi nodded slightly.
Wei Xiuyu: “Follow me.”
She led Liu Yi towards the area where the third-years were training.
As they approached, the third-years who were training stopped their movements, their gazes uniformly falling upon them.
Wei Xiuyu: “Everyone, this is Liu Yi, a first-year. Because she already cleared the fifteenth floor of the Tower of Trials yesterday, she’s been allowed to join the School Team and start training early.”
“Oh! I know her.” A girl exclaimed loudly, “Isn’t she the new student who broke most of Senior Qin’s Steel-Armored Bear’s low-floor records yesterday?!”
Immediately, everyone’s eyes landed on her.
“Ha… haha.” The girl shrank her neck, bowing her hands twice above her head. “My apologies, Teacher Wei, please continue, continue…”
“......” Wei Xiuyu glanced at the carefree Li Chengying, then at the second-years. “You all introduce yourselves. I’m going to see why the second-year coach isn’t here yet.”
With that, she turned and walked towards another section of the training ground.
Silence spread among the third-years for a few seconds, until finally, the girl with the Berserker Bear and Steel-Armored Bear walked over first.
She was half a head taller than Liu Yi, with neat short hair, and extended her hand: “Ouyang Qin, third-year.”
“Liu Yi.” Liu Yi shook her hand, feeling the calluses on the other girl’s palm.
“Both of your pets are quite special.” Ouyang Qin’s gaze swept between Ziyue and Chiying.
Ouyang Qin’s voice was crisp and clear, her gaze scrutinizing but without malice.
The Berserker Bear and Steel-Armored Bear beside her also curiously sized up Ziyue and Chiying.
Liu Yi nodded: “Thank you, your pets are very strong too.”
Ouyang Qin chuckled twice, pointing to the third-years behind her: “These are all third-year School Team members: Li Chengying, Gao Xue, Chu Qian, and Xie Jing.”
She introduced them one by one, and Liu Yi silently noted down their names and corresponding pets.
Li Chengying was the girl who spoke loudly just now; her pet, a Cloud Howler Sparrow, hovered above her head.
Gao Xue was a girl with a hime cut hairstyle, and beside her… there was no pet?
Li Chengying immediately leaned in, looking at Chiying on Liu Yi’s neck: “Is this the newly discovered Dragon-type pet?”
Without waiting for Liu Yi’s reply, she squatted down to stare at Ziyue: “Wow! Is this the Ice Fox’s new evolution chain? So beautiful, can I pet her?”
“Do you have to be so familiar?” Gao Xue walked over, grabbed Li Chengying’s collar with her right hand, and pulled her up, moving her away from Ziyue. “Be careful not to scare our junior and her pets.”
“Youyou!”
A figure gradually appeared beside Gao Xue, echoing with a cry.
It turned out to be a Ghost-type pet.
Liu Yi looked at the pet that appeared beside Gao Xue, but she knew less about Ghost-type pets and didn’t recognize what kind of pet it was.
Liu Yi: “Senior Gao.”
“Hm? What is it?” Gao Xue stopped lecturing Li Chengying.
“Excuse me, may I use this?” Liu Yi raised the Beast Encyclopedia bracelet on her left hand, her gaze directed at the pet beside Gao Xue.
Gao Xue followed Liu Yi’s gaze, seeing her own pet: “Oh, sure, no problem, go ahead.”
“Youyou.”
Liu Yi aimed her Beast Encyclopedia at the pet beside Gao Xue.
【Night Shadow Doll, Ghost-type, Advanced rank. Its appearance is that of a doll about 1.2 meters tall, its body stitched together from silk, and its head can rotate 360°. It enjoys imitating human behavior, and if it has a Beast Tamer, its personality, behavior, and actions will gradually align with its Beast Tamer’s.】
