Chapter 585: Familiar Energy Value Test
Chapter 585: Familiar Energy Value Test
Beastmaster Center.
Companion Beast Testing Room.
Qu Zhuo handed the documents in his hand to the healthcare worker inside, who nodded.
"I understand."
With that, he pressed the red button on the corner of his desk.
The sign at the door immediately changed to "Testing in Progress."
Qu Zhuo spoke solemnly.
"No equipment is more precise than the Beastmaster Center's when it comes to testing. This test will be monitored by security cameras, and the footage will be synchronized and uploaded to Zhongkong University. Apart from me, three other teachers in Blue Star will be remotely proctoring the test via the network."
"During the evaluation, you must not leave the camera range unless there is an emergency."
"Before the energy test, we need to conduct a full-body examination of your familiars to prevent any instances of energy spikes caused by consuming potions or other items."
"During the evaluation, each familiar must be summoned on-site. If your familiar is outside, please return it to the Beastmaster Codex before summoning it again."
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Qiao Sang and Tang Yi said in unison.
As they spoke, Rockhead had already set up a series of cameras and aimed them at Qiao Sang and Tang Yi.
No wonder they were asked to meet at the entrance of the Beastmaster Center; the evaluation was to take place here... Qiao Sang glanced around.
He noticed that the two healthcare workers in the Companion Beast Testing Room had not left but were waiting nearby, clearly preparing to conduct the tests.
"Now, summon all your familiars", Qu Zhuo said.
Qiao Sang was about to form the hand seals to summon Lulu when he remembered what the teacher had said. He waved his hand to return Fangy and the others to the Beastmaster Codex, then formed the hand seals to summon them one by one.
This wasn't just for show; in the past, there had been cases where examinees rented others' familiars to impersonate their own during tests.
Since then, universities have required examinees to summon their familiars on-site.
It's time to learn the hand seals for summoning multiple familiars at once... Qiao Sang thought as he performed four identical hand seals in quick succession.
Soon, seven familiars with distinct forms appeared in the testing room.
Tang Yi's third familiar was a dual-attribute familiar, a Toxic Water Lion. It had a body covered in purple spikes and a venom sac filled with potent toxins. If its venom were to injure someone, even with immediate medical attention, it could leave lasting aftereffects. Its toxicity was among the highest in all low-level Poison-type pets in Supernest.
Tang Yi relied on the Toxic Water Lion to dive into the pond and gather the Mist Purifying Grass.
Under Qu Zhuo's instructions, the two healthcare workers quickly completed the full-body examinations of the seven familiars.
"There are no issues; all are normal", one of the healthcare workers with curly brown hair said.
Qu Zhuo nodded.
"Let's proceed with the energy test."
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker eagerly raised its claws and called out.
It wants to go first! It wants to go first!
Treasure Seeker's actions immediately made it the center of attention.
The two medical staff exchanged surprised glances. They had never seen a familiar act so lively after being bonded...
"It wants to go first", Qiao Sang translated.
"No need to rush; everyone will get their turn", Qu Zhuo said rather coldly.
He hadn't forgotten that among Qiao Sang's familiars, only this one could use Spatial Shift!
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker lowered its claws and wilted.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the camera.
Three proctoring teachers from Blue Star watched the scene on the holographic screen and began to discuss among themselves.
"What's wrong with Qu Zhuo? He seems so cold to Qiao Sang."
"I heard that Qiao Sang's Brain Domain Breakthrough had surpassed 30%, and I didn't quite believe it, but it seems it's true..."
"I can't help but feel that Teacher Qu is bringing some personal emotions into this."
Dragon Nation has no shortage of prodigies, but Qiao Sang is a unique case. Top universities had all received the news that Qiao Sang would be taking the College Entrance Exam this year, and Zhongkong University was no exception.
After learning that Qiao Sang had applied to their school, the admissions team at Zhongkong University paid special attention to this matter.
They chose Qu Zhuo as the evaluation teacher after careful consideration, not only because he was conveniently located at Supernest but also because he was known for his sense of responsibility and would not overlook any true talent.
They had expected Qu Zhuo to treat Qiao Sang differently, but he showed no special favoritism.
...
While the three teachers were talking, the testing at Supernest had already begun.
The familiar energy detection took place in a separate room, with familiars queuing up one by one. The glass partition completely blocked out sound, but the scene inside was still clearly visible.
After Tang Yi's familiar was tested, Qiao Sang led Fangy and the others into the room.
The medical staff placed the detection equipment on Steel Treasure's head.
"Steel Sparrow, energy value 9101."
The medical staff read the number on the display, and Qu Zhuo recorded it.
"Ghost Ring Specter, energy value 240593."
"Icechill, energy value 252159."
"Blazing Star Hound..." The medical staff paused, looking at the display, and then continued, "Energy value 496726."
"How much?" Qu Zhuo asked, doubting his ears.
"496726 energy value", the medical staff repeated.
"How is that possible!" Qu Zhuo exclaimed, his face full of disbelief as he approached the display.
The maximum energy value for a High-Class Beast Companion is 500,000. The Blazing Star Hound, being the first new Evolution form, had a recorded Evolution time.
The medical staff at Supernest might not have known, but Qu Zhuo had specifically looked it up and was well aware that the Blazing Star Hound had only been in its Evolution form for less than three months. How could its energy value be so close to breaking the High-Class Beast Companion limit?
When Qu Zhuo saw the value on the display, he was completely stunned.
The energy value was indeed [496726].
It seemed that the points added yesterday had a significant effect. This value might allow Fangy to break the 500,000 energy value limit even before evolving... Qiao Sang felt secretly elated but kept a straight face.
Qu Zhuo was silent for several seconds before asking, "Is there something wrong with your equipment?"
The medical staff, clearly annoyed, replied, "Sir, if you think there's a problem with our equipment, you can have it checked elsewhere."
Qu Zhuo hesitated for a moment but eventually recorded the value.
Whether the Blazing Star Hound's energy value was accurate or not, given the energy values of Qiao Sang's three previous familiars, she was sure to score 50 points in this familiar energy value test.
After the energy value test, while Qu Zhuo seemed somewhat dazed, the one who was hit the hardest was Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun..."
Initially, Treasure Seeker felt a bit proud hearing its own value, but when it heard Lulu's value, its expression turned to one of deep doubt.
It couldn't believe it hadn't surpassed Lulu...
That would mean it was now the third in line!
Qiao Sang noticed Treasure Seeker's distress and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker looked at its Beastmaster with teary eyes.
It was now the third in line!
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood the issue with the energy values.
Actually, she wasn't particularly surprised that Lulu's energy value had surpassed Treasure Seeker's. Lulu had not only taken an S-Class Potential Enhancer but had also finished all nine bottles of the Nine Ice Potion. Most importantly, while Treasure Seeker was playing on its mobile phone at night, Lulu was still training.
Lulu's talent was catching up, and it was more diligent than Treasure Seeker. It was only natural that its energy value would surpass Treasure Seeker's.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to prepare to put Lulu back into the Beastmaster Codex and comfort Treasure Seeker, she noticed that Lulu was communicating with Steel Treasure.
"Icechill?"
Was 252159 more impressive or 496726?
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
"Ganggang."
Before Qiao Sang could speak, Steel Treasure had already called out, indicating that the number ending in 9 was more impressive.
"Icechill."
Lulu looked satisfied.
Steel Treasure was no simple creature... Qiao Sang felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. She gave Steel Treasure an appreciative look and waved her hand, putting Lulu back into the Beastmaster Codex.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy shrank back to its small size and jumped into its Beastmaster's arms, completely oblivious to the emotional turmoil Treasure Seeker and the others had just gone through.
At this point, Qu Zhuo cleared his throat and said, "We'll meet at the Beastmaster Center at nine o'clock tomorrow morning for the 2v2 familiar combat test."
