Chapter 590 - Monster Trainer Exam (10)

As the crowd felt the waves of life energy that was released from the breakthrough of the Zephyr Sparrow, they were completely shocked.

Just these fluctuations that came from it already meant that Lin Fan had passed the Monster Trainer Exam, but the fact that these fluctuations came from the Zephyr Sparrow meant that there was another implication. It was that Lin Fan was a Monster Trainer who was able to induce a breakthrough in the pets that he trained, which meant that he was at the level of a Master Monster Trainer!

The youngest Master Monster Trainer ever had only reached that level when he was nearing a hundred and he was one of the most legendary Monster Trainers of the Tamers Guild. He was even someone who had caught the eyes of a Stellar Kingdom and brought up to that higher realm.

But how old was Lin Fan?

They had tested his bone age when he signed up for the exam, so everyone knew that Lin Fan was only nineteen years old!

This was a Master Monster Trainer that wasn't even twenty years old yet!

He had completely shattered the previous record!

However, that wasn't everything that had happened. There was still one important factor to consider, which was time.

Just like the first time with taming the Berserk Bear, it had taken him less than two minutes to induce this breakthrough in the Zephyr Sparrow, even though the Zephyr Sparrow was nowhere near close enough to break through.

This speed was already at the level of a peak Master Monster Trainer, even approaching the realm of a Grandmaster Monster Trainer.

A Grandmaster Monster Trainer that was less than twenty years old?

What kind of a concept was that?

It had to be known that both the vice presidents and the president that were Grandmaster Monster Trainers were all people who had lived for thousands of years. If it wasn't for their long lifespan and their long term dedication to polishing their skills, they would have never been able to become Grandmaster Monster Trainer.

Yet this kid that appeared out of nowhere was already close to reaching the level of a Grandmaster Monster Trainer?

While they all felt shock, not everyone in the crowd felt the same level of shock.

There were also a few strange fluctuations that came from the Zephyr Sparrow as it broke through that most of the Monster Trainers in the crowd didn't recognize. However, there were some more knowledgeable Monster Trainers that had come along because they had heard the rumours of the monstrous talents.

However, the moment they felt these strange fluctuations, they couldn't help standing up with stunned expressions.

All the ones that did stand up were veteran Master Monster Trainers that had been in the Tamers Guild for a long time, so they had certain high positions in the Tamers Guild. The ones that had come with them were mainly their subordinates or their disciples.

One of the disciples couldn't help asking the Master Monster Trainer beside him, "Master, is something wrong?"

That Master Monster Trainer suddenly had tears appear in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "This…It really is…"

The disciples that had come with him couldn't help feeling very worried when they saw him and the lead disciple came forward out of fear that something had happened to him. However, the moment that the lead disciple had come close to the Master Monster Trainer, he was immediately pushed aside as that Master Monster Trainer started moving towards the exam area.

This same scene was happening all around the stands and these Master Monster Trainers pushed their way to the edge of the stands. However, there was a barrier that was set up to prevent the crowd from being implicated in any incidents that was blocking them from jumping down into the exam area itself.

But even with this barrier blocking them, the Master Monster Trainers pressed right up against it as if they wanted to get as close as possible to the scene of the Zephyr Sparrow breaking through.

The breakthrough of the Zephyr Sparrow didn't take long. The continuous waves of life energy that were drawn in suddenly stopped after a minute and then there was a burst of life energy that suddenly came from the Zephyr Sparrow to show that it had broken through.

However, the show wasn't done just yet because the figure of the Zephyr Sparrow started to change once it broke through.

The figure of the Zephyr Sparrow started to swell until it increased to twice its original size. At the same time, the aura that came from it was completely different from the aura that had come from it when it was still a little sparrow.

Once it had finished its transformation, it flew over to Lin Fan and started rubbing its cheek against his leg like a cat. Then it jumped back a bit and pointed at Lin Fan's fist before pointing back at itself as if it was still asking to be hit.

However, this time Lin Fan didn't oblige.

Instead, Lin Fan said, "Show me your new skills."

The no longer little sparrow immediately gave a salute as soon as it heard this command from Lin Fan. Then it flew up into the air in front of Lin Fan, just floating there for a second before it started flapping its wings faster and faster. 

As the sparrow floated there in the air flapping its wings, there were visible traces of wind that gathered around it until they formed complete blades of wind. Then with a quick flap of its wings, the blades of wind suddenly flew out in front of the sparrow, landing on the ground of the stage.

"Gale Blades!"

"It's actually the Gale Blades, that's a mid grade skill! That means that he passes!"

"Psh, please, he already passed when he induced the breakthrough for the Zephyr Sparrow! Is there even still any doubt that he would pass if he's already at the level of a Master Monster Trainer?"

"Wait, don't you realize that something is off?" Someone in the crowd suddenly said, causing everyone to look at that person.

When the person saw that everyone was looking at him, he was a bit surprised, but then he said, "It's a Zephyr Sparrow, so how can it use an attack skill?"

That was right!

Zephyr Sparrows only had their speed and didn't have the ability to attack at all, so how was this Zephyr Sparrow able to release the Gale Blades? Could it be that this was a rare variant? Or was there another reason?

People started thinking about Lin Fan's first performance and there was a possibility that suddenly came to their minds.

Could it be that he had cheated and had replaced the Zephyr Sparrow with another pet that was similar?

But no matter how they thought about it, it didn't seem possible since they had been watching Lin Fan's performance the entire time.

Many people were feeling confused until one of the Master Monster Trainers that had been pressed up against the barrier said, "Who told you that it's still a Zephyr Sparrow?"

When the people in the crowd heard this, they couldn't help being taken aback. After being surprised, many people revealed confused looks since they couldn't understand what this Master Monster Trainer meant by his words.

If it wasn't a Zephyr Sparrow, what else would it be?

But seeing that this Master Monster Trainer had already spoken, he would definitely give the answer to this question afterwards, so they just waited for him to speak again.

After a pause from him, that Master Monster Trainer then said, "It's already mutated and has evolved into a Tempest Sparrow."

It took a whole five seconds after hearing this that everyone finally reacted to what had just been said. As soon as they did react, there wasn't a single closed mouth in the stands as every chin dropped to the floor.

Mutation?

Was he joking?

How could a Monster Trainer who wasn't even twenty years old possibly induce a mutation in a pet?

That just wasn't possible!

However, not a single person refuted this Master Monster Trainer since he was the foremost expert on beast mutation in the Tamers Guild. If even someone as prestigious as this was saying this, they had no reason not to believe it…

But how could that be possible?

After all, being able to induce a mutation was something that not even the president and the two vice presidents could do and they were Grandmaster Monster Trainers!

Inducing a mutation, that was something that only a Legendary Monster Trainer could do since it involved purifying the bloodline…

After the sparrow had released the blades of wind and they hit the ground, they didn't disappear right away as they started spinning around on the ground in a circle, gathering more and more wind from their surroundings. As more and more wind gathered, the spinning blades of wind became bigger and bigger as they grew upwards.

Eventually they grew big enough that they had formed a tornado where the blades of wind had landed initially.

This tornado didn't grow any larger, but it also didn't disappear as it drew in the air from around it to maintain the same size.

"Gale Prison!"

"It's not just the Gale Blades, it's actually the Gale Prison! That's a high grade skill!"

Even though it was a high grade skill, the shock that they felt couldn't compare to the shock that they had felt from learning that the Zephyr Sparrow had actually mutated.

As they looked at Lin Fan who was just calmly standing there, everyone couldn't help revealing a look of fear and shock, with just a hint of admiration under it.
