"Fuck, fuck!"Inside the assessment monitoring room, Teacher Li couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, drawing the curious stares of the other district monitoring teachers, but he didn't mind.
With one hand, she firmly grabbed the arm of Qin Nan, who was beside her drinking water, and shook it subconsciously, "Hey, hey, hey, isn't the random release of storms within the nearby area a characteristic of a Tier III Frost Storm? This Transformation Core Skill called Frost Silence Storm that has evolved, could it also be Tier III?"
"Also, that last one was Snow Explosion, right? It's Snow Explosion, isn't it? The records don't mention that Frost Flower Dream Shadow has this Talent Skill, do they?"
Qin Nan watched as the water in the cup he was holding swayed and spilled over the edge, leaving a wet patch on his trousers, and fell silent.
The veins on her forehead gradually bulged, and then she gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Li! Qing! Mei!"
"Uh..." Li Qingmei finally came back to her senses, realizing she might have gotten a bit too excited, and quickly let go of the hand, giving an awkward smile, "Sorry, are you okay?"
"What do you think?" Qin Nan rolled his eyes and then spoke, "Lin Su's pet was evolved before a stable evolution route was researched, so there might have been some accidents during the evolution process, leading to an evolution different from Frost Flower Dream Shadow, with an extra Talent Skill, Snow Explosion."
"I see." Li Qingmei suddenly realized.
This kind of thing was not uncommon among researchers, and upon hearing Qin Nan's explanation, she quickly understood, then couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, "This is the Snow Explosion skill, and up to now, almost no pets possess this Talent Skill, right? Only a few ice-type alien beasts covered by the Alien Beast Ban hold such skills. Lin Su really has incredible luck."
"Mhm." Qin Nan nodded, she too had been shocked by the fact that Qiuqiu had awoken the Snow Explosion skill, but she had grown accustomed to it over time.
"Do you know what's the deal with that Frost Flower Dream Shadow's skill?" Li Qingmei couldn't help but ask again, "That's a Tier III Core Skill, and it's one that has evolved once and started improving again from Tier I, a Transformation Core Skill. For Snow Trace to reach Tier III is already quite impressive, but this Frost Silence Storm... Can it really reach this level through training in a month or two?"
"Don't ask me." Qin Nan's expression twitched slightly.
She knew better than Li Qingmei that Lin Su's pet had been evolving for just over a month now.
A month to raise a pet's Core Skill from Tier I to Tier III?

Even if the Transformation Core Skill could inherit previous proficiency quickly, this speed of improvement was still outrageous. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Maybe the kid has some special way of speeding up the training?" Qin Nan rolled her eyes, "I remember reading a novel back when I was studying where a Beast Tamer could add points to speed up their pet's skill proficiency, maybe Lin Su can do that."
Li Qingmei rolled her eyes, "Please, you're a tier-one researcher of the alliance, can we talk scientifically?"
"Alright, alright." Qin Nan shrugged her shoulders, "No matter how he did it, being strong is a good thing. I've seen too many things on him that science can't explain anyway. I wouldn't even be surprised if he now uncovered a brand-new alien beast species."
"I don't want to know either." Li Qingmei gave Qin Nan a look that said 'don't judge others by your own standards', and stretched, "It's just very surprising. A Core Skill reaching Tier III, and it's a powerful skill like Frost Silence Storm. This practical combat assessment poses no safety threat to Lin Su anymore; he's pretty much locked in first place."
"Well..." Qin Nan pinched her chin, her face sporting a mischievous smile, "You should be able to see Lin Su's current point ranking, right? How many does he have?"
"Let me check." Li Qingmei pressed a few buttons on the console, and the current point rankings appeared on the screen promptly, "He's already first, but there are a few other candidates with high points too!"
Li Qingmei's expression showed more surprise, "I can understand Lin Su's high score, but what's the deal with the other candidates?"
Unfortunately, those names were not within the area she was responsible for monitoring, so she couldn't retrieve detailed images.
"I can't wait to see Lin Su getting ganged up on in the second stage," Qin Nan chuckled, her eyes filled with anticipation, "Back in my time, I suffered a lot in this stage. But Qiuqiu is much stronger than Xiao Yu was back then, so it's really hard to say who will struggle."
"Who will struggle in the second stage, I'm not sure, but..." Li Qingmei looked towards another screen, her expression subtly strange, "Someone is already about to struggle now."
...
"Boom!"
A candidate was walking towards a valley ahead, planning to see if there were any lone alien beasts in the valley to farm for points, when suddenly, a loud bang came from the valley, followed by the ground shaking violently, and a faint vapor could be seen rising.
"What's happening?" The candidate named Chen Hong blinked and hastened his steps.
"Little Six, keep up."
Not far behind him, a cubic object with six different expressions on its faces floated in the air, closely following Chen Hong, a rather rare pet with dual Telekinesis and Spirit systems, the Six-sided Rubik's Cube.
