Chapter 40: The Test Is Approaching! The Hidden Currents Are Surging!

The moment the students heard the words ‘cultivation technique’…

They immediately burst into an uproar.

Everyone could not help but get excited.

As Beastmasters, they knew the importance of cultivation techniques.

However, there were many cultivation techniques in this world. There were ordinary cultivation techniques, and there were heaven-defying cultivation techniques as well.

However, powerful cultivation techniques could only be cultivated by geniuses.

That was because powerful cultivation techniques not only required great talent, but also strong willpower.

Although there were many cultivation techniques circulating in the market right now…

Almost all of them were very ordinary cultivation techniques.

For students who claimed to be geniuses, these ordinary cultivation techniques were completely unable to satisfy them.

However, the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy was different. As the top Beastmaster Academy in the entire federation…

The number of cultivation techniques they possessed, and the strength of their cultivation techniques, could not be compared to any other institute’s.

There were some cultivation techniques that only the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy possessed.

Moreover, they were under very strict control.

Other than a select few geniuses, no one else could come into contact with them at all.

Moreover, their possession of unique yet easily cultivable techniques had also prevented them from toppling back when the institution was facing financial difficulties.

The Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy possessed cultivation techniques that were suitable for all sorts of people to learn.

The barrier of entry to these techniques were low, but their might was very powerful once mastered.

Almost every Beastmaster Academy practiced these cultivation techniques.

It was for this reason that many people had racked their brains to enter the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy.

“Then, what are the requirements for us to obtain the cultivation techniques?”

Suddenly, a tall female student below the stage asked.

Hearing the female student’s question, the students below the stage also echoed her question.

“Of course, there’s no such thing as free lunch in this world.”

“It is obviously impossible to obtain the cultivation method for free.”

Trista said slowly.

“What conditions do we need to clear in order to obtain the cultivation method?”

One of the impatient students under the stage could not take Trista’s dragged out explanation.

It was clear that the student was rather hot-headed.

He was not the type to tolerate long-winded explanations.

Trista had no intention to chastise the student. Instead, she continued with her explanation just like before, but with a smile on her face.

“There are two ways to obtain cultivation techniques.”

“The first way is if you were a new student and you managed to enter the top 100 during the first test.”

“The second way is much simpler. The students have to rent the cultivation techniques themselves.”

“It means that you have to spend money in exchange for the opportunity to learn the cultivation techniques.”

Hearing this, the students below the stage began to discuss among themselves.

The venue instantly became noisy.

Jacques, who was standing at the side, was unable to tolerate the ruckus any longer. He berated loudly, “Enough! Everyone, quiet down.”

“Those are things that you will consider only after you’ve been admitted to the Federation’s Beastmaster Academy.”

“Your current task is to obtain good results in this assessment and then enter the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy. Only then will you have the right to come into contact with everything there.”

“Otherwise, you guys are just counting your chickens before they hatch.”

Jacques had dampened the mood on the eager students.

However, they also realized that they had gone a little overboard.

After all, it was still uncertain whether they would make it into the academy or not.

In an instant, the audience quieted down.

“Time’s up.”

“The combat assessment is up next.”

“This is the most important assessment out of all, so you must obtain outstanding results in this exam. Only then can you enter the academy and receive more resources. So, work hard, students.”

Noticing the students had calmed down, Jacques checked his watch and announced the next assessment.

“Your combat assessment will not take place here, instead it will be at the Federation’s Comprehensive Training Center.”

“We have already prepared the transportation for you, and they have just arrived.”

“Alright, students, follow my lead.”

Trista resumed where Jacques left off.

With that, Trista then headed to the vehicles at the school gate.

The students below the stage followed Trista’s footsteps.

Locke was among them.

Suddenly…

Locke felt a chill on his back.

He turned around and saw Alice glaring fiercely at him.

This made Locke very puzzled. ‘Why is this woman so narrow-minded?’

He had never offended her, but she was constantly targeting him.

‘I must teach her a lesson, to let her realize the evils of society.’

A despicable idea suddenly appeared in Locke’s mind.

‘This woman is clearly a big-breasted idiot.’

As for Alice’s perspective on why she hated Locke…

It was because she thought that Locke had stolen her spotlight, and Locke was surrounded by a large number of classmates who she was on good terms with.

They were constantly praising Locke, when she should be the one on the receiving end of the praises instead.

All of her praise had been stolen by Locke who appeared out of nowhere.

Alice, who grew up in a large family, had always been the object of admiration for others.

No one had ever dared to treat her so coldly. As such, was it no wonder that she got mad?

On the other hand, Locke cared little of what she thought. Rather, he had no intention to deal with the brainless woman.

He had learned back in his original world that women were the most dangerous lifeforms to exist.

While conversing with the surrounding students, a bus drove over, and it had the logo of the Federation’s Comprehensive Training Center on it.

Obviously, the bus was there to pick them up.

Trista organized the students to get on the bus.

After two rounds of assessment, there were not many students left.

Half of the seats on the bus were still empty.

Some students on the bus chatted and laughed along the way, whereas some of them were in a very low mood.

They had no clue how they would perform in actual combat.

After all, they were just a bunch of high school students, and they always worried about gains and losses.

Very soon…

The bus arrived at its destination amidst the laughter and discussion of the students.

Everyone quickly got off the bus.

Looking at the grandeur of the Federation’s Comprehensive Training Center, some students’ faces were calm, whereas some students’ faces were filled with shock.

After all, there was also a wealth gap among the students.

Training in the Federation’s Comprehensive Training Center required money.

To those from normal families, training here once would amount to half a year’s worth of salary.

As a result, many students had never come here before, and those students who looked calm on the surface were obviously people from powerful families or wealthy families.

After all, the Federation’s Comprehensive Training Center was a huge boon to a Beastmaster’s growth.

For this reason, many members of large families liked to come here to train.

It had all the necessary conditions for a Beastmaster to grow.

For example, it contained actual combat training, mana training, and physical fitness training. It truly was a comprehensive training center.
