When he was still at the second tier, fourth stage, Ice Crystal Soul could easily crush the second tier, first stage Ghost Wolf.
Now that I've leveled up to Tier 2, Stage 6, facing a Withered Beast that's also Tier 2, Stage 1 is incredibly easy.
It's not surprising that they sold out in seconds.
However, He Zhenwen and Lu Peixin were unaware of this.
In their minds, a fierce battle should have broken out between the Ice Crystal Soul and the Withered Beast.
But things took an unexpected turn.
Ice Crystal Soul instantly killed the Withered Beast with a single move!
This scene left the two of them dumbfounded, their faces showing shock and disbelief.
"This kid..."
He Zhenwen couldn't help but take a light breath.
He realized that he had underestimated this young man named Lin Ze.
I originally thought that since the other party was so young, even if their pet was only of the second tier, its level wouldn't be too high.
At most, it's a second-order first or second-stage process.
But now it seems he was terribly wrong.
Judging from how easily that ice-attribute pet beast killed the withered beast, its level was at least Tier 2, Stage 5, or even Stage 6.
That's amazing!
For a moment, He Zhenwen and Lu Peixin looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.
In previous years, second-tier pets have appeared in the internship qualification assessment.
But most of them are second-order first stage or second-order second stage, and at most they are second-order third stage.
It's practically unheard of for someone like Lin Ze to possess a second-tier, fifth- or sixth-level pet.
Although it may seem like just a few minor differences, the implications behind them are completely different.
At only eighteen years old, he already possessed a second-tier, fifth- or sixth-level pet beast.
This level of talent and skill would be remarkable even in a bustling metropolis teeming with geniuses of beast taming.
"Good lad, so you had this trick up your sleeve, that's really unexpected!"
He Zhenwen stared intently at Lin Ze on the screen, his eyes filled with admiration.
"It looks like a promising talent is coming out of the local high schools this year."
Lu Peixin nodded in agreement, almost unconsciously.
Lin Ze's strength truly exceeded his expectations.
"Old Lu, do you think he can pass the Super Difficulty level?"
He Zhenwen suddenly asked.
Lu Peixin frowned, a look of hesitation on his face.
Just a few minutes ago, he would have scoffed at He Zhenwen's words and would never have believed that Lin Ze could successfully pass the super difficulty level.
But things are different now.
After witnessing Lin Ze's strength, which far surpassed that of his peers, he couldn't help but waver.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Peixin slowly said:
"It's hard to say. Lin Ze is indeed outstanding, but the opponents in the last two levels of the super difficulty are not weak either. We can only say that there is hope of passing."
He Zhenwen nodded without comment and said nothing more.
The two continued to look at the light screen.
The fourth stage has begun.
The pet beast in this level is a ferocious claw monster.
By this time, many people had already withdrawn from the virtual realm.
The successful challenger beamed with joy.
The losers, on the other hand, were dejected and sighed repeatedly.
"Damn it, I was so close to killing that pet beast!"
"I didn't expect the low difficulty level to be this hard. My opponent is actually a Tier 1, Stage 6 pet."
"Sigh, another failure this year."
"Haha, I did it! Now I'm an apprentice beast tamer!"
The speaker was smug, which attracted envious glances from many people.
Although an apprentice beast tamer is only at the lowest level of beast tamer, it is considered that one foot has stepped into the elite class of society.
Once you get this title, your future will be incredibly bright.
The newly promoted apprentice beast tamer was about to say a few more words to show off his skills when he saw the person in front of him suddenly widen his eyes and look as if he had seen a ghost.
"Holy crap, what is that?!"
"A ferocious, ferocious claw monster!"
"Isn't that a second-tier pet? How come it's in the apprentice assessment?"
A series of uncontrollable gasps suddenly rang out.
The newly recruited apprentice beast tamer turned his head in confusion, and the next second his eyes widened in astonishment.
On the screen, at the very center, was the image.
The two pet beasts were engaged in a fierce battle.
On one side is a strange pet beast that resembles an ice sprite.
The other side is the Claw Monster.
The Claw Monster is a common type pet. After reaching maturity, its strength level can reach the second tier, third stage.
How could such a powerful pet appear in the trainee assessment?
What's going on?
Soon, people noticed Lin Ze's presence.
"Wait a minute, look, isn't that the guy who just said he wanted to challenge a student with an extremely high level of difficulty?"
"Huh, it really is."
"In other words, this is an extremely difficult level of assessment!"
"It should be. Look at the icon in the bottom right corner; this is the fourth level."
"Hiss, as expected of the super difficulty level, a monster like the Ferocious Claw Monster appears in the fourth level!"
The participants present were all taken aback.
They were both surprised by the extreme difficulty and danger.
There are five levels in total, and this is only the fourth level when a second-tier, third-stage pet appears.
How terrifying must that final challenge be?
However, what shocked them even more was Lin Ze's performance.
The young man's pet beast was actually fighting the ferocious claw monster to a standstill, and even gained the upper hand.
In other words, that pet beast was also of the second tier!
Moreover, its level is definitely above the second tier, third stage.
This level of ability far surpasses that of all the participants present.
"Wow, that's amazing! It actually managed to suppress the Devilclaw Monster!"
"Tsk tsk, I knew it! Anyone who dares to take on the super difficulty level must have some skills!"
"Pah! You were just mocking them for lacking self-awareness!"
"Uh... I just said it offhand."
"By the way, which high school does this guy go to? He's so strong."
"I don't know. I remember all the top students from the local high schools, but I don't think I have this person in my list!"
Exclamations of amazement rose and fell.
Everyone stared in shock at Lin Ze on the screen.
Even if you broke their heads, they would never have imagined that the arrogant boy was actually a genius with a powerful second-tier pet.
Just then, Guan Ning, Zhang Xiaoyun, and Liu Siyan also withdrew from the virtual realm one after another.
As soon as they got up from the ground, Zhang Xiaoyun and Liu Siyan excitedly hugged each other, jumping and cheering loudly.
"I passed! I successfully passed the internship assessment!"
"Me too, that means we're both apprentice beast tamers now!"
"Ah Ning, what about you?"
Zhang Xiaoyun asked Guan Ning with a joyful expression.
Guan Ning nodded, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy.
They clearly passed the assessment.
Moreover, she passed the test at a high level of difficulty, and the gains she made far exceeded those of Zhang Xiaoyun and Liu Siyan.
However, Guan Ning quickly suppressed his joy and looked at the screen with a tense expression.
"I wonder how your assessment went, brother?"
Zhang Xiaoyun and Liu Siyan also remembered this and quickly looked up.
Upon seeing this, the three women, like the other participants present, were stunned and stood frozen in place.
On the screen.
Ice Crystal Soul has successfully killed the Ferocious Claw Monster and is hovering beside Lin Ze, chirping softly.
Lin Ze stroked the pet's head as a sign of commendation.
In the void.
A cold, mechanical sound rang out.
"Level 4 cleared, the challenge continues!"
