Eternal Beast Taming Family

After a simple day of rest in the newly purchased courtyard, Sun Chunchen took Chu Shengfan to Qianling Academy early the next morning to participate in the academy registration for the assessment.

After navigating the bustling streets, at the heart of the crowd, Chu Shengfan finally witnessed the legendary Thousand Spirits Academy.

The entrance to the Thousand Spirits Academy is nearly a hundred meters wide, with nearly a thousand meters high steles standing on both sides, and the rest of the area is protected by a barrier membrane.

Clearly, the only way to enter and exit Qianling Academy is through this gate, and not just anyone can enter and exit.

Chu Shengfan observed that whenever students entered or exited, they would raise a jade token. Only when the jade token lit up could they pass through the gate safely.

Looking through the portal into the academy, Chu Shengfan could only see a straight road and towering mountains shrouded in a thin mist, whether it was an illusion or not.

Judging from this alone, the university is much larger than Chu Shengfan had imagined.

The college's admissions registration office was located in the square in front of the Thousand Spirits Academy. Although Chu Shengfan and his group had arrived early enough, long queues had already formed in front of nearly a dozen registration booths.

Sun Chunchen's eyebrows twitched slightly. Before Chu Shengfan could observe closely, Sun Chunchen pulled him to the end of a line that seemed to have fewer people.

After waiting for about two hours, it was almost noon before it was Chu Shengfan's turn.

Behind the long black wooden table stood what appeared to be students from the Thousand Spirits Academy. Seeing the young and old duo of Chu Shengfan and Sun Chunchen, their expressions were blank as they routinely asked:

"Registration fee is one hundred spirit stones."

They don't waste any time; the first thing they do is ask for money.

When Sun Chunchen was about to take the money, Chu Shengfan first took out a brocade bag and threw it on the table.

Two people were in charge of each registration point. A student in academy uniform next to them weighed the brocade bag and then nodded.

A student from the academy took out a jade plaque and handed it to Chu Shengfan, saying, "Cover this with your spiritual energy, and answer my questions truthfully."

Despite not understanding why, Chu Shengfan did as he asked. Under the cover of his spiritual power, the jade pendant emitted a lustrous yet bright luster.

"Name?"

"Chu Shengfan".

"Place of origin?"

"Jingyuan Dynasty, Qianling Prefecture, Paper Kite County and Jade Town."

Upon hearing Chu Shengfan's answer, the student paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting Chu Shengfan to come from such a small town.

In a small town, not every family has the financial means to spend one hundred spirit stones just to participate in an assessment that may or may not even guarantee admission.

"Rank?"

"A lower rank of a different rank."

"age?"

"twelve."

This answer surprised the student again. He thought Chu Shengfan looked too mature for a twelve-year-old.

However, the jade tablet did not react otherwise, proving that his answer was true, and it was exactly the minimum age for enrollment. The student could only continue to ask questions.

"A contracted source beast?"

"Myriad flowers and butterflies, spiritual mica."

The student frowned again. These were two kinds of source beasts he had never heard of before. This child from the small town was really mysterious.

"Alright, you've registered your name. Let me explain the rules to you first. In a moment, you'll spread your mental energy into the jade tablet and see the various assessment items."

Over the next twenty days, you will need to complete all the assessments. We will then give you a score based on your performance in the assessments.

Finally, based on the final total score and the quality of students this year, it will be determined whether you can enter the college. If the jade badge lights up red at the end, you have passed the assessment.

If the jade token is red, it means you have failed the assessment and will not be able to attend Thousand Spirits Academy this year.

Chu Shengfan nodded, his spiritual power probing into the jade tablet, where he saw a dense array of assessment options.

Combat types: Contract Master vs. Contract Master, Single Source Beast vs. Contract Master, Dual Source Beast vs. Contract Master, Triple Source Beast vs. Contract Master, Quadruple Source Beast vs. Contract Master, Mixed Source Beast vs. Contract Master, ... Arena vs. Arena, Simulated Environment vs. Arena.

Knowledge Research Category: Handbook on medicinal beasts, assessments related to sea beasts, assessments related to feathered beasts, illustrated book of common source beasts of different ranks, illustrated book of common source beasts of the spirit rank, ... a complete guide to identifying common spiritual herbs, research on the evolution theory of source beasts.

The dense array of assessment options flashed through Chu Shengfan's mind, causing him to momentarily lose his composure. He began to doubt whether he could even complete all the assessments within the next twenty days.

"We use a comprehensive score system, so you need to make sure you take more exams and get more scores in the time to have a better chance of being admitted to the university."

The student patiently offered some pointers, and seeing Chu Shengfan's somewhat bewildered expression, smiled.

"However, in addition to the many assessment items, there is an additional situation: in each assessment, there may be a case of exceptionally outstanding performance."

The teachers in charge of the assessment will issue a direct pass to outstanding students, which means they can directly enter the college to study without having to take any further assessments.

However, this direct entry pass also has limitations; once admitted to an academy, students can only choose from a limited number of academies. Therefore, some students, even after obtaining the pass, still choose to complete all the remaining assessments to give themselves more options.

Upon hearing this, Chu Shengfan's eyes lit up, but then he thought that obtaining a live pass in the talent-rich Thousand Spirit City would be even more difficult, and his eyes dimmed again.

After explaining all this, the student pointed behind him to a shimmering, vortex-like portal guarded by another student.

"The first assessment you need to take after registering is over there. Go on."

Chu Shengfan thanked him, then put away the jade token and walked towards the gate with Sun Chunchen.

Upon arriving at the gate, the student guarding it had an unusually cold expression. "Students, please enter by yourselves. Parents, please wait outside."

Sun Chunchen stopped and gave Chu Shengfan an encouraging smile. "Go ahead."

Chu Shengfan nodded, holding the jade token in his hand, and stepped into the vortex portal.

Upon entering, one finds a massive platform floating in the void, nearly three thousand meters long and wide. Beyond this platform, numerous other different platforms stand at considerable distances in the void.

There are now source beasts of different appearances above, some are fighting, and some are simply showing off their abilities.

"Little brother, give me the jade pendant."

A gentle voice brought Chu Shengfan back to his senses. Chu Shengfan looked up and saw a girl with a very gentle appearance, dressed in a student's uniform.

Chu Shengfan obediently handed over the jade token.

The girl glanced at the jade token. "So this is the first assessment, which is to demonstrate the abilities of your own source beast. Go to the center of the platform, and Master Yang will conduct the test for you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Shengfan thanked him and came to the very center of the platform.

The so-called Master Yang was an elderly man with a very serious face. He saw Chu Shengfan but didn't say much, only calmly stating:

"Summon all your source beasts and demonstrate their abilities. I will score them based on their performance."

Chu Shengfan's eyes flickered, and before he could summon his Origin Beast, Master Yang spoke up again to add to the discussion.

"You can choose to hide your abilities, but your final score may affect whether you can be admitted. Thousand Spirits Academy doesn't have many admission slots each year."

These words seemed to touch a nerve with Chu Shengfan, causing him to unconsciously purse his lips.
