Chapter 6

C6 – Like a Grain of Rice

Qin Hongyu gazed at the radiant pearl before him, his heart pounding with excitement. He couldn’t help but marvel inwardly, “The Divine Pet Evolution System truly exists!”

The brilliance before him, a stark contrast to the perpetual darkness he was accustomed to, allowed him to experience the essence of light anew.

He vowed it was the most magnificent light he had ever witnessed in his life—unequivocally so.

A collective gasp filled the room.

Each person there, whether student or teacher, involuntarily inhaled sharply.

The light’s intensity might not directly signify a Battle Spirit Fighter’s talent, yet it heralded the exceptional purity and richness of the Battle Spirit Bloodline—a level so astounding it was almost unbelievable.

It was clear as day that Qin Hongyu was endowed with the Battle Spirit Bloodline, and its purity was of an extraordinary degree.

“How... How can this be!” Ji Buyu’s eyes were wide with terror as he gazed at the blinding Spirit Summoning Pearl, oblivious to his scorched eyes.

“The hour’s getting late. Any students still needing to take the Martial Exam, come forward quickly.”

The teacher, relieved to have regained control, promptly resumed the testing process.

This round of testing sped along. If a student’s hands rested on the Spirit Summoning Pearl for ten seconds with no response, they were swiftly replaced.

Yet, the earlier miracle of Class Nine did not repeat itself; a string of students failed to elicit even the slightest reaction from the pearl.

“Only two exceptional students, after all? Perhaps I was too optimistic...” The teacher couldn’t hide his disappointment.

But for a class of dozens to boast two students with the Battle Spirit Bloodline was already extraordinary. The odds of a third such prodigy were slim to none.

The spectators from Class Nine were growing restless as evening approached, thoughts turning to heading home for dinner.

“Jiao, you haven’t been tested yet, have you? Go on, give it a try.”

With the testing winding down and Bo Miaojiao still untested, Qin Hongyu nudged her encouragingly.
