The Third Trial – Part 2

Wu Shuang smirked before turning to Gu Tian. "Since you've shown your hand, I guess it's only fair that I show mine too. Heh."

With that, Wu Shuang stepped forward toward the newly replaced test dummy, summoning all three of his beasts simultaneously the Immortal Qilin, the Black Chaos Dragon, and the Eternal Flame Phoenix.

BOOM!

The overwhelming power of all three beasts erupted at once before an ominous black aura began engulfing them.

Every student in the testing field widened their eyes in shock. All gazes locked onto Wu Shuang, unable to look awayeven Gu Tian found himself slightly intrigued.

When the darkness finally subsided, a new beast emerged. It had the head of a black dragon, but its face and body bore the features of a qilin. Behind it, enormous phoenix wings blazed with golden flames. The sheer power emanating from its body was suffocating, making even high-ranking examiners feel a sense of discomfort. Gu Tian tilted his head in confusion as he analyzed the beast.

[Evaluation Compared to Silver-Rank Beasts: Strongest Ever Recorded]

Gu Tian blinked a few times. "...What the hell is this thing?"

Gu Tian was already aware of Wu Shuang's Infinite Fusion Talent, but he never expected it to manifest in this way. The sheer power radiating from Wu Shuang's fused beast far exceeded his initial estimations.

The aura emanating from this new creature was even stronger than the energy Grim released moments ago. Ye Feng, who stood frozen in place, felt as if the entire world around him was crumbling.

"How... how am I supposed to fight against something like this?"

He couldn't even imagine a scenario where he could defeat such a monster. A deep sense of defeat started to take root in his heart.

Even Shen Ya found herself lost in thought.

"...…."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking the mental state of the Son of Destiny. You have received 50,000 Villain Points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking the mental state of the Daughter of Destiny. You have received 100,000 Villain Points.]

Wu Shuang smirked. The sound of the system notifications was particularly satisfying. He glanced at his newly fused beast before pointing at the test dummy.

"...Huh. What should I even call you? Meh, I'll figure it out later."

"Crush it."

BOOOOOOM!!

The beast's deafening roar echoed throughout the entire testing ground.

A blazing inferno composed of red, violet, and golden flames erupted, surging toward the test dummy with terrifying force. The explosion that followed sent shockwaves tearing across the entire field.

BOOOOM!!

The impact was so intense that the ground cracked apart in a wide radius. The scorching heat radiating from the flames forced many students to instinctively retreat.

At that moment, the Head Examiner, who had been observing the situation closely, reacted instantly.

"Calypso!"

The moment his voice rang out, a massive, translucent squid materialized in midair, its body shimmering with an ethereal blue glow. Its enormous tentacles gathered water energy, forming a colossal magic bubble that expanded outward to contain Wu Shuang's attack.

Fwoooosh!

The devastating flames, capable of incinerating everything in their path, were sealed within the magic bubble. However, cracks quickly spread across its surface as it struggled to contain the sheer destructive force.

The Head Examiner's eyes widened in shock as he muttered to himself.

"I really don't want to imagine what would happen if we were at the same level..."

With a deep sigh, he finally announced the test results his voice still carrying traces of disbelief.

"Wu Shuang… Attack Power: SSS+. Total Damage: 999,999 points."

The testing ground fell into absolute silence.

Every pair of eyes in the examination field was filled with disbelief. The students all stared at Wu Shuang as he calmly walked back to Gu Tian, as if what had just happened was nothing out of the ordinary. Yet, what he left behind was nothing but shock, fear, and despair lingering in everyone's hearts.

"What… What the hell just happened today!?" one student exclaimed, unable to suppress his emotions.

"The power gap is just too massive! They're living in an entirely different world from us!"

Some students, however, let out a scoffing laugh before commenting, "Why are we even comparing ourselves to those monsters? Do you seriously think we could ever compete with them?"

As murmurs and discussions filled the air, the examiners quickly urged the test to continue.

"Shen Ya, step forward."

Without hesitation, she walked to the front and summoned her Celestial Goddess. Divine light radiated throughout the field as she unleashed her most powerful attack against the test dummy.

BOOOM!!

The score flashed on the display.

"Shen Ya, Attack Power: 120,000 points. SSS+ Rank."

Her result, though extremely high, did not create the same overwhelming shock as before. After witnessing Gu Tian and Wu Shuang's displays of raw destruction, Shen Ya's attack while powerfulfelt somewhat expected.

Next up was Ye Feng.

He stepped forward in silence, his expression clouded with uncertainty before summoning his Moonshadow Wolf.

His fists clenched tightly, and he took a deep breath before giving his command.

"Dark Moonfire!"

BOOOOOM!!

A massive explosion erupted as Ye Feng's beast unleashed its full power. The test dummy's score appeared on the display.

"Ye Feng, Attack Power: 90,000 points. SSS+ Rank."

A low murmur rippled through the crowd.

"Ye Feng just broke last year's record!"

"Yeah! The highest score last year was only 80,000!"

But despite this achievement, Ye Feng felt nothing but emptiness. He had shattered last year's record, yes… but compared to Gu Tian and Wu Shuang, it was meaningless.

His hands trembled as his sense of defeat consumed him once again. He turned to look at Gu Tian and Wu Shuang, who stood casually with relaxed expressions. In his mind, it almost felt as if they were mocking him, as if they saw him as nothing more than a pathetic joke.

"Why…?"

Not long after, the test finally concluded.

One of the examiners addressed the students in a neutral tone.

"In three days, once all trials have been completed, the official rankings and scores will be posted on the Central Government's website."

"One day after that, the Central Government will allow all participants to select their Beast Tamer Universities based on their results."

"That will be all. Good luck to you all."

As the announcement ended, students slowly began filing out of the examination grounds. But in their hearts, a storm of emotions raged on.

Some were excited, some proud.

But many… felt nothing but confusion and despair.
