WHAT?!!!!
Advika smiled at him and walked forward.
"Okay, Advika, try to strike the statue," Monica said, staring at Advika.
Advika nodded, took a deep breath, and exhaled... She closed her eyes, channeled all her Life Force, and sent a punch towards the lion sculpture.
Whoosh!!
A gust of wind moved forward and collided with it.
BAM!
Everyone stared as the number appeared, and the next moment, it showed 11.
"Intermediate Level... Good, you pass."
Advika sighed in relief and smiled at Christopher.
'From a Novice to an Intermediate... She's lucky... Really lucky,' he thought.
"Miss Mariana! You're next!" Monica yelled.
"Huh?"
Christopher turned his head to Mariana. "She was here all along?!" He was surprised.
Mariana stepped forward and activated her Life Force. She channeled everything into her fist and sent a punch; a fist phantom shot forth and collided with the sculpture.
BAM!
[Number: 25... Intermediate Level.]
"Nicely done, Miss Mariana... Intermediate level, you pass."
"What?! No-no-no! How can it be Intermediate?!! I disagree with the result!!"
Monica frowned slightly. "Miss Mariana, you struck the sculpture and got your answer—"
"—I disagree!!"
Monica sighed. "Then try again."
"Good."
Mariana nodded and channeled more Life Force.
_
"Master Adrian, what's the miss doing?"
One of Adrian's friends asked, mildly confused.
Adrian sighed helplessly. "She's activating all the Life Force in her body... She has no idea no matter how much Life Force she channels, her reading will remain 25."
The two nodded and turned their heads to Mariana.
_
"Miss Mariana, you do know you'll be exhausted using so much Life Force, right?"
"Don't distract me!" Mariana hissed contemptuously.
Monica stared at her, frowning slightly, but said nothing.
Swhoosh!!
The wind picked up, pushing the youngsters back a step.
"Ahhh!!!"
With a roar, she sent a punch, sending a fist five times the size of her previous attack towards the sculpture.
BAM!!!!
It collided with the sculpture.
[Number 25... Intermediate level.]
"Huh?"
She dropped to her knees, breathing heavily as she stared at the number.
'25?! How could that be?!!' she thought, clenching her fists.
_
"Hmm... Your daughter is really powerful, Vincent," Ethan said sarcastically.
Vincent glared at him and said, "Her result is a lot better than 60 of the youngsters who failed... Let's see what number your son, who doesn't even know anything about Beasts, will get."
"Oh? You'll be surprised," Ethan smiled.
_
"Does she think she's a god or what?! Thinking of gaining a higher level! I laugh!"
"Calm down, Katherine... Wait! It's Brother's turn!!"
Adonis stared as Monica looked down at the list and spoke.
"Master Christopher, you're up."
"Oh? It's my turn."
Christopher looked around and walked towards Monica.
'I'll have to reduce my Life Force, lower my level... If everyone saw my real level, they'd be shocked, and most of all, suspicious.'
He stopped in front of Monica, while she scanned him with her eyes and sighed.
"Attack the sculpture."
Christopher nodded and pointed a finger at the sculpture. The next moment, a small light appeared on his fingertip.
Everyone frowned.
'This...?! Life Force manipulation?! How can someone who didn't even know anything about Beasts a few days ago, know how to manipulate Life Force?' Monica was stunned.
The three family heads stood up in shock, all staring at the light on Christopher's fingertip.
"This! How did Christopher learn how to manipulate Life Force? Even to the stage of using the Life Force in the air?" The head of the Borodino family asked.
"Impossible! Only Elite Tamers and above can manipulate Life Force!" The head of the Felons family exclaimed.
"Why are you old men standing? Oh?! Staring at my eldest son?"
They all turned their heads to Ethan, who was staring at them with a smirk.
"It seems you've been hiding him all along, letting him cultivate in private, and showing off today, right, Mr. Ethan?" The Borodino family head asked.
"Oh? Mr. Borodino is very smart," Ethan smiled.
The three stared at him for a few seconds and turned their heads back to Christopher.
Amara, who had been silent, placed her hand on her husband's shoulder and whispered:
"Do you know he could do this?"
"How the hell would I know that? You're his favorite; I thought he told you about it."
"No... I don't know about this."
"Let's see what he's planning on doing. For now... just brag about it, show the other families we're not pushovers."
Amara smirked, hearing her husband, moved back, and sat down on her seat... Then turned to the woman beside her, who was the wife of the Borodino family head... and started.
_
Christopher smiled and shot the light towards the head of the sculpture.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!
Reading....
[Number: 61... Legendary level!!!]
"What?!"
"Oh my God!!"
"What am I seeing?!"
"..."
"61?!!!"
Monica stared at the number for a few seconds and blinked.
"Master Christopher, I think you should strike it again."
"Huh? Is that necessary?"
Christopher turned his head to Monica, who slowly nodded.
He shrugged and pointed two fingers at it, sending out another light beam.
BOOOOOM!!!!!
"WHAT?! It's even stronger than the first!!!!" Monica was horrified.
They all stared at the crack created on the head of the sculpture in shock. The next moment...
[Number: 63... Legendary Level!!!]
'It increased?! What the... Fuck?!!'
She was dumbfounded.
"Should I strike again, Miss Monica?" Christopher turned his head to Monica, smiling.
"No... No need... Master Christopher. Legendary Level. Pass."
Silence.....
_
"Wow, Mr. Ethan! Your son is really a genius!" The head of the Felons family said with a smile.
"Yes, a Legendary-level Tamer. Let's see what he's capable of on the field," Vincent said with a fake smile.
"You don't have to worry about that," Ethan smiled at him, adding, "Just watch and be amazed."
The three slowly nodded and sat back down, staring at Christopher.
_
[A few moments later.]
"Okay, let's move to the next stage... Out of a hundred, 65 failed, and 35 passed... You can rest for now and replenish your Life Force," Monica said and walked away.
"Yes."
The youngsters nodded in understanding.
