Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 51 - 32: So It Was a Figurehead (3)

"Th-This... May I ask which noble family you are from, my lady?" the examiner asked with the utmost respect.

’Thunder Talent is exceptionally rare, and the Attack Power of the Golden Thunder System is among the top three. It even has the potential to advance to the S-level Purple Gold Thunder. A talent like this could only belong to a Beastman from a major noble family. Could she be from the Purple Cloud Leopard clan? But I’ve never heard of them producing a female in the last several decades...’

Sang Luo replied, "I’m not from a noble family. I just come from a small town."

One of the teachers specifically went to check the profile she had filled out for admission.

The identity Caesar had registered for Sang Luo was indeed that of an ordinary female with a commonplace background.

"Hello, I am Glen Tuya. I’m in charge of the students in the Combat Department. I can assure you, with your talent, admission to the academy is a sure thing. Your family’s future rise to prominence will all depend on you..." Glen Tuya said with a meaningful smile.

A female with Thunder Talent was extremely rare in the entire Empire, and hers far surpassed the Third Rank. Once word got out, there was no telling how many scions of noble families would come flocking to pursue her!

Low-Rank Beastmen valued a female’s Fertility, but the more talented a Beastman was—especially those of King Rank and above—the more they valued a female’s Talent Ability.

This was because Beastmen at their rank struggled to produce offspring. It had little to do with a female’s Fertility; the issue was that most females’ Talent Abilities were too weak to match with them. Even finding a female with the highest Fertility would rarely result in a child. On the rare occasion that a child was born, it would be a low-talent, mixed-blood heir, incapable of upholding the family’s honor.

"The second exam, the written test, is in the West Building. I will escort you there. Please watch your step on the stone stairs," Glen Tuya said, terrified Sang Luo might stumble.

Someone was dispatched to find the headmaster and inform him of the matter.

"A female with Thunder Talent appeared? What’s her rank?" Laltu shot to his feet.

He had been teaching at the academy for over a century, and this was the first time he had ever seen a female with Thunder Talent!

"The Talent Stones the academy provides for females can only measure up to the Third Rank, but based on our experience, her talent is stronger than the Fourth Rank. It’s highly likely she has already reached the Fifth Rank!"

’A Fifth-Rank female with Thunder Talent... One like her might not appear even once in several centuries. Yalan Academy really hit the jackpot this time.’

Laltu was so excited he nearly fainted. "Who is this female?" he asked hurriedly.

When he saw her file, Laltu was dumbfounded all over again. He quickly turned to the handsome man seated to his right.

"This is..."

’Isn’t this the young female the Admiral brought over a few days ago?’

’No wonder he came in person. He wasn’t here for Sophie Asate, but for this esteemed female.’

’A female with Fifth-Rank Thunder Talent is a far better match for a King Beast than some talentless Princess!’

Inside the classroom for the second exam, the written test, Sang Luo stared at the questions on the paper. They were so familiar it was almost comical—nearly identical to the practice sheets Caesar had given her!

’How little does he trust me? He actually went and procured the real exam questions!’

Sang Luo could have scored over ninety points in her sleep. She was the first to casually walk out of the examination hall, leaving everyone else behind to stare in envy.

The first two stages—the talent test and the written exam—had already weeded out more than half of the Beastman applicants.

However, the third stage, the elimination tournament, was the true highlight of the entrance trials.

It would cull more than half of the remaining two thousand-plus Beastmen.

In the end, only eight hundred would secure a spot at the academy.

The remaining applicants were teleported to a forest.

This was the Hunting Ground established by Yalan Academy, where many Star Beasts of varying ranks, from Low to High, were raised in captivity. The applicants’ mission was to hunt them.

There was a chance for a Star Beast to carry a Token placed by the academy. The more powerful the Star Beast, the higher the probability of it having a Token. Rankings were based on the number of Tokens collected and were updated in real-time on the Light Brain. The test would last for half a month, after which the top eight hundred students would be admitted.

Several light screens lit up, broadcasting a live feed from within the Hunting Ground.

There was a chance of encountering Seventh-Rank Star Beasts in the Hunting Ground, so to ensure the safety of the new students, seniors were assigned to lead the teams.

Sang Luo extended her spiritual power, giving her a clear view of everything within a several-dozen-meter radius. She could perceive every move anyone made. Suddenly, she stopped walking.

The senior leading her team, who was somewhere behind her, shot a cold glare in her direction and sneered under his breath, "A female from the boondocks, without a single decent male at her side. Heh. An unwanted, lowly rat female. You may have been lucky enough to get in, but you might not be lucky enough to get out alive..."

After muttering this, he turned and walked away.

The curse reached Sang Luo’s ears, and she frowned. ’That person’s hostility toward me is intense. How does he know I’m a rat female?’

Sang Luo expanded her spiritual power a little further and saw him hurrying toward another figure.
