"Hiss—"
The sudden little action of Lazuli made Aster Grant take a sharp intake of breath.
He turned his head to et the dangerous gaze of his Beastbond, and imdiately showed a plea for rcy.
"Hmph!"
Lazuli haughtily turned away, finally letting Aster go.
Seeing this, Aster was quite helpless.
Ever since the last encounter with Bianca Shelby, his little angel seed to have awakened the "jealousy" attribute.
And when the little angel gets jealous...
The one who suffers is the soft flesh on his waist!
"Sigh!"
The once obedient little angel was gone, and now she had learned to lay hands on her master.
Just as Aster was sighing, an officer walked out.
"The assessnt begins!"
With the command given, the students dashed towards the assessnt area like arrows off the string.
The earlier they entered the assessnt area, the greater the possibility of raising their level!
And Aster, by instinct, glanced around and discovered...
Bianca’s succubus... seed to be able to rank in the top five among all the Beasts!
Plus her far superior tactical command capabilities compared to Mason Cheney...
Even if he didn’t participate, Lythos had a great chance of taking the first place this ti.
Watching the students filing into the assessnt area, Aster then turned his head towards Crystal Winslow.
"Um... you want to go with ?"
"Mm!"
Looking at Crystal, who seed to have taken a liking to him, Aster felt sowhat helpless.
If he didn’t know that Orion Winslow was lurking nearby, he would have thought himself to be so perverted kidnapper.
According to Orion, he wouldn’t intervene unless there was a life-threatening situation.
But Aster knew that Orion should be hiding nearby.
Even with his Transcendent level of spiritual power, he couldn’t completely sense Orion’s presence.
After a brief thought, Aster accepted Crystal tagging along.
After all, with her Ice Phoenix assisting in control, Lazuli’s leveling efficiency would surely improve significantly.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and led Crystal straight to the assessnt area.
The entire assessnt area was divided into low, mid, and high-level zones.
Aster directly took Crystal into the high-tier area.
Here, nearly all the demon clan creatures were above Awakening Tier Six.
This was supposed to be the area opened later in the assessnt, but the two of them boldly ventured in.
Coincidentally, this area happened to be managed by Rose Thorne.
At the mont, she was eating chips, idly teasing her Beastbond.
As a Transcendent-level Beast Tar, if not for accompanying Chloe Grant, she certainly wouldn’t be here.
Moreover, the assessnt had just begun, and it was impossible for anyone to yet reach this area.
"How will I endure this month..."
Just as she was muttering, her Beastbond suddenly sent an alarm.
Two students had entered the high-tier area!
"What?!"
The chips in Rose’s hand fell to the ground.
"Which reckless fellow dares to charge in right away?"
Though she grumbled, her actions were as fast as lightning.
As both examiner and safety officer, she had to rush to check the situation imdiately.
With a flicker of her form, she sped towards the students’ location.
...
anwhile.
Not long after delving into the high-tier area, Aster and Crystal were blocked by three towering ogres.
These Awakening Tier Nine demon clan creatures emanated a nauseating stench, their dark purple skin covered in ferocious demon patterns.
[Ogres]
[Level: Awakening Tier Nine]
[Talent: Demon General]
[Power: 193]
[Constitution: 182]
[Spiritual: 102]
[Speed: 132]
[Skills: Frenzied Bite, Giant Power Strike]
Aster’s eyes sharpened.
The demon clan was different from demonic beasts.
The latter were demonized by the infection of Demonic Qi.
The forr were born from Demonic Qi.
No one knew where they ca from, just that they were the common enemy of all intelligent races.
The demon clan was divided into six levels based on talent:
Demon Soldier, Demon Captain, Demon General, Demon Monarch, Demon Lord, Demon God.
These corresponded to ordinary, elite, excellent, epic, legendary, and myth levels of Beasts respectively.
The three ogres before him were all Demon General level beings!
Yet, seeing these three demon clan mbers, Aster was pleased.
The purpose of entering the high-tier area was to eliminate demon clan creatures to level up.
Now that they had voluntarily co, it suited his intentions perfectly!
However.
When Rose Thorne arrived on the scene, the sight before her made her pupils contract sharply.
Three Awakening Tier Nine Demon General level ogres!
These were not opponents freshly graduated Beast Tars could handle.
Her gaze swept over the boy in the field, and she suddenly felt a bit familiar.
Quickly taking out a photo given by Chloe Grant for comparison—
"Isn’t that Chloe’s brother?!"
Rose Thorne took a sharp breath.
Why was this kid running to the high-tier area on the very first day of the assessnt?
She imdiately assud a battle stance; should her best friend’s brother get hurt under her watch, she’d never face Chloe again.
But just as she was about to intervene, an unbelievable scene unfolded...
The two in the field not only didn’t run but assud an offensive stance!
At this mont.
Aster and Crystal exchanged a tacit glance.
"You control, I attack!"
"Okay!"
Before Crystal’s words fell, the Ebon-Frost Ice Phoenix had already spread its wings and let out a long cry.
"Frost Storm!"
A bone-chilling frost storm swept out, covering the three ogres in ice crystals, their movents imdiately slowing down.
Aster, of course, wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
"Lazuli!"
"Judgnt—!"
The crimson sword light burst forth like thunder, and the central ogre had no ti to break free from the frost before being sliced in half by a single slash.
The remaining two demons roared in fury, but Lazuli’s ghostly figure instantly closed in on them.
Although only Awakening Tier Six, her attributes had long surpassed those of the Tier Nine demons.
The sword light flashed again, and the two ogres fell to the ground.
As three blue halos rged into her brow, Lazuli’s aura soared—
She had leveled up again!
[Divine Angel (Lazuli)]
[Talent: Legendary Three Stars]
[Level: Awakening Tier Seven]
[Power: 237]
[Constitution: 240]
[Spiritual: 241]
[Speed: 236]
[Skills: Judgnt, Divine Protection, Blazing Angel Form, Song of the End]
[Cultivation Suggestion: Use Light Crystals, Holy Spirit Marrow Liquid, Angel Sacred Blood to enhance Beastbond talent]
Having upgraded to Awakening Tier Seven, Lazuli’s attributes rose further.
Aster roughly estimated that with this battle, Lazuli’s abilities would make a huge leap.
Beside him, the Ebon-Frost Ice Phoenix also capitalized on this battle to smoothly break through to Awakening Tier Seven.
Not far away, Rose Thorne watched with her own eyes and rubbed them in disbelief.
She once joked with Chloe Grant that "a genius’s brother mustn’t be bad."
But seeing it for herself, she thought: what a freak!
Two Awakening Tier Six Beast Tars, together, were cutting down the three Awakening Tier Nine Demon Generals like they were slicing vegetables.
Even she had struggled considerably when facing a single Awakening Tier Eight Demon General back in her Tier Six days.
"Gulp—"
Rose Thorne involuntarily swallowed hard.
These two might make Aegis Academy fight tirelessly to recruit them.
Watching their figures delve further in, Rose suddenly couldn’t help but feel excited about how Chloe would react upon seeing this strength from her brother.
