At this moment, it was Chu Qingyu's turn for the examination. She placed her hand on the Spirit-Sensing Beast, and its body immediately glowed white, just a shade lighter than Chu Qingyao's.
The examiner was once again surprised. Although this girl's aptitude wasn't as exceptional as the previous one, it was still quite impressive.
Seeing that she could also become a Spirit Master, Chu Qingyu bit her lip in disbelief. She really could become a Spirit Master!
Following the examiner's guidance, Chu Qingyu successfully completed the summoning. A yellow array slowly emerged beneath her feet, causing another uproar among the crowd.
It was a Tier 2 Spirit Beast cub. Although it couldn't compare to Chu Qingyao's Tier 3 Rainbow Plume Luan, it was already quite rare in Qingwu Town.
A small green snake slithered out from the summoning array. Chu Qingyu had always been afraid of snakes, but with her Natal Spirit Pet, she felt a newfound affection for it.
Chu Qingyu crouched down, extending her hand towards the little green snake. It instinctively crawled onto her hand, coiling twice around her fair wrist like a jade bracelet.
The examiner checked the little green snake's information—Jade Bamboo Viper, Tier 2 at birth, capable of reaching Tier 5 upon maturity, a commendable Mid-Tier Spirit Beast.
Two future talents who could at least grow into Mid-Tier Spirit Masters had emerged in succession, causing whispers and occasional exclamations among the crowd.
The mayor immediately invited Chu Qingyu over as well. Now, only Chu Shaoye from Chu Family Village had yet to be examined.
The examiner led Chu Shaoye to the examination platform, hoping for another miracle. Could this small Chu Family Village produce yet another Mid-Tier Spirit Master?
Chu Shaoye's expression remained calm. Although Qingyao and Qingyu's aptitudes were surprising, they did not shake his resolve. He would accept the outcome, whatever it might be.
Before his palm even touched the Spirit-Sensing Beast, it affectionately nuzzled against him. Its transparent body began to turn white the moment it made contact with Chu Shaoye, gradually becoming a rich white, far surpassing Chu Qingyao and Chu Qingyu.
The examiner's eyes widened in shock. "How is this possible? The Spirit-Sensing Beast turned pure white. Could it be that his Natal Spirit Beast is a High-Tier Spirit Beast from the start?!"
"Hurry, begin the summoning!" This chapter is updated first at g.com.
The examiner's voice was urgent, and all the other examiners gathered around. Even the mayor, seated outside the square, stood up.
Was Qingwu Town truly about to produce a High-Tier Spirit Master?
Chu Shaoye had watched closely during Chu Qingyao and Chu Qingyu's summoning, and he was already familiar with the summoning array. Without waiting for the examiner's instruction, he pricked his finger and used his blood to draw the array.
The massive and intricate array patterns slowly emerged, enveloping the entire square. However, the light emitted by the patterns was the gentle white glow of a Tier 1 Spirit Beast.
The examiners present were incredulous. "How is this possible? Such a grand and elaborate array pattern, how could it only be a Tier 1 Spirit Beast? It should at least be a Tier 6 Spirit Beast!"
Chu Shaoye's face revealed no emotion as he focused on the center of the array. A mysterious connection formed between him and the white furry ball at the array's center, filling his heart with an inexplicable sense of closeness and affection.
A fluffy ball emerged from the center of the array. Its body was curled up, ears pressed tightly against its head, and its bushy tail wrapped securely around itself, forming a round, plump sphere.
Chu Shaoye stepped forward and picked up the furry ball. Only then did it stretch its body, yawning with its tail covering its mouth, arching its back and stretching lazily.
It turned out to be a little fox, its entire body covered in snow-white fur without a single blemish. Even its long eyelashes were white, with only its eyes a brilliant silvery-red.
The examiner, who had been disappointed, let out a surprised sound. This little fox seemed to be an Immaculate Fox?
There had never been a record of an Immaculate Fox becoming a person's Contracted Spirit Beast. Could it be that the summoning array for an Immaculate Fox was this unique?
Not only was there no precedent for an Immaculate Fox as a Natal Spirit Pet, but wild Immaculate Foxes were also extremely rare. The examiner had never seen one in reality. After consulting the Spirit Beast Compendium, the examiner finally confirmed it.
The examiner sighed, looking at Chu Shaoye with regret. "Your Natal Spirit Beast is called an Immaculate Fox. It starts at Tier 1, but if well nurtured, it can reach Tier 3 upon maturity."
Strictly speaking, the Immaculate Fox isn't an independent Spirit Beast species. Any fox-type Spirit Beast has a one in ten thousand chance of giving birth to an Immaculate Fox.
Some believe that due to the Immaculate Fox's unique birth process, it should be classified as a Phantom Beast. However, since it can be contracted by humans, it is ultimately classified as an ordinary Spirit Beast. The source of this chapter is novelping . com.
Although the Immaculate Fox's grade is low, even with proper nurturing it can only reach Tier 3. But due to its beautiful appearance and extreme rarity, the Immaculate Fox is highly favored and sought after by Spirit Masters.
Some powerful Spirit Masters like to keep Immaculate Foxes as pets to showcase their strength.
The examiner relayed all this information about the Immaculate Fox to Chu Shaoye, feeling quite regretful. Originally, they had hoped for a more powerful genius, but who would have thought it would be a merely ornamental Immaculate Fox.
However, this young man's talent, though not comparable to the two previous girls, was already quite good in Qingwu Town. The mayor of Qingwu Town was only Tier 3, after all.
The examiner patted Chu Shaoye on the shoulder. "The Immaculate Fox is quite good too. Take good care of it."
Chu Shaoye bowed to the examiner, holding the little fox. "Thank you, Spirit Master."
The examiner nodded at him. This young man, whether in appearance or demeanor, stood out among the youths being examined, neither arrogant nor impatient.
What a pity, if only his Natal Spirit Beast wasn't an Immaculate Fox, his future achievements would have been limitless.
Chu Shaoye, holding the Immaculate Fox, walked towards Chu Wangshan and the others. Chu Wangshan patted his shoulder, his face full of joy. "As expected of my son."
A Tier 3 Spirit Beast, the mayor is only Tier 3, his son is already impressive.
After Chu Shaoye's examination, there weren't many left to be examined. Once all were done, two or three more children were found to have potential.
Among them was the young master of the Wang family, Wang Zekai, who also showed potential. His Natal Spirit Beast was the same as his father's, a Wind-Chasing Hound.
The Wind-Chasing Hound, like the Immaculate Fox, starts at Tier 1 and can grow to Tier 3 upon maturity, also a decent Low-Tier Spirit Beast.
However, with Chu Qingyao and Chu Qingyu shining so brightly, Wang Zekai, remembering how he had bragged to the two girls before the examination, felt his face flush with embarrassment.
They were the true prodigies, and now he had thoroughly embarrassed himself. After the examination, Wang Zekai hurriedly left with his servants, feeling utterly humiliated.
