Name: Rock Ghost
Type: Earth
Level: Fourth Rank, Fourth Layer
Growth Points: 0%
Skills: Earth Spike, Rock Bullet Projection, Clay Bomb
The next evolutionary form is the Earth Spirit. Requirements: 100% Growth Points, 30 superior Earth Essences, and 3 Spirit Accumulation Stones.
“Fourth rank, fourth layer?”
A glimmer of delight sparkled in Xie Yang’s eyes.
Jennie was at the same level, yet her Growth Points had climbed to 20%.
It seemed that Rock Ghost’s potential might just edge out Jennie’s.
“However...”
Xie Yang glanced at Rock Ghost’s menacing visage.
It had been somewhat cuter back when it was just a Stone Monster.
Maybe that’s the cost of growing stronger.
With a shrug, Xie Yang’s attention returned to the panel’s skill list.
Earth Thorn: An advanced ‘Earth Spike’ skill. It summons multiple spikes from the ground to inflict Earth-type damage on enemies. Unlocking requires 20% Growth Points and 100 achievement points.
Explosive Rock: An advanced ‘Clay Bomb’ skill. It forms a bomb from Earth Elementium Stone packed with explosive energy. Upon impact or landing, it causes a massive explosion. Unlocking requires 50% Growth Points and 200 achievement points.
Rock Guard: A defensive skill. It calls forth stones of Earth Elementium to orbit the user, providing protection from attacks from any direction. Unlocking requires 70% Growth Points and 300 achievement points.
Boulder Strike: An advanced ‘Rock Bullet Projection’ skill. It gathers Earth Element to forge a colossal boulder to hurl at enemies. Unlocking requires 80% Growth Points and 300 achievement points.
Like Jennie, Rock Ghost boasted four new skills.
“Such a shame I’ve nearly exhausted my achievement points and can’t further its upgrades.”Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
Regretfully, Xie Yang closed the panel.
But his spirits swiftly lifted.
His venture into Knell Valley had been exceptionally fruitful.
He now commanded two fourth-rank pets, a force to be reckoned with, surpassing most bronze Beastmasters.
Hardie, for one, didn’t hold a candle to him.
But since the Apprentice Assessment, similar comments sent her heart into a flutter.
“Brother, why do you always talk like that?”
She chided him inwardly, yet a part of her yearned to hear more.
Elsewhere.
With Xie Yang’s arrival, the chatter at the school gates surged.
Many students turned their eyes toward him, their looks filled with complexity.
The worm tide event in Knell Valley had become the talk of the town among Lakeshell’s Beastmasters.
Nearly every Beastmaster knew of the high schooler named Xie Yang who had turned the tide against the worm tide, single-handedly defeating the Death Bell Dealer.
The feat had stirred immense excitement.
Xie Yang’s reputation as a genius had quickly spread.
He was now a celebrity at Lakeshell High.
Many underclassmen idolized him.
While Lakeshell High students might be unsure of their principal’s name, they all knew Xie Yang.
“Tian, Xie!”
Moo Shuqin and Zou Xinrui hurried over, waving energetically.
Driven by certain motives, the two had been frequent visitors at Bai Tian’s home recently, having several encounters with Xie Yang.
Their efforts had warmed the relationship, making their conversations much more relaxed than before.
Upon meeting, Moo Shuqin immediately vented to Bai Tian, “What am I going to do, Tian? I’m so anxious. If I don’t make it into Nightbay Academy, I’ll be devastated!”
Zou Xinrui remained quiet, but her concern was evident.
Moo Shuqin spoke with a tinge of jealousy, “I wish my pet beast had evolved successfully.”
Since Bai Tian’s Apprentice Assessment, her Demon Flame Bird had evolved into the formidable Flaming Dragon Bird.
Its level had soared to the second rank, ninth layer.
Such power all but guaranteed her a spot at Nightbay Academy.
As for Xie Yang, there’s hardly anything to add.
With a third-rank pet beast at his side, he’s bound to ace the exam!
Moo Shuqin and Zou Xinrui couldn’t help but sigh at the thought.
Their talents were simply off the charts!
