Chapter 460 Selecting Students

Two days had pa.s.sed,

Su Ping spent the past two days in the library at the headquarters, looking through the works left behind by various trainers.

As a top trainer, he had access to all the books and works. Of course, some of the out-of-print works were not included. Even top trainers would have to collect enough merit points to be able to get a chance to read those works. Su Ping had to turn to the Vice Chairman who was still working to invite him to join the a.s.sociation to give him access.

Without hesitation, the Vice Chairman paid the points.

It wouldn't cost many points and Su Ping would owe him a favor.

Su Ping had gained a more comprehensive understanding of trainers after reading those precious works. The theory and the working mechanisms of many trainer skills were quite intricate. Su Ping realized that he could develop some of the skills with his abilities.

Those works and books had enriched Su Ping's pool of theoretical knowledge.

“No wonder the Bloodmist Spirit could evolve. Bloodmist Spirits are born to be afraid of thunder. However, that Bloodmist Spirit had a chance to know the underlying theory of thunder. In that process, the Bloodmist Spirit came in contact with the thing it most feared. Indeed, that would leave a mark…

“If I impart the rules of thunder to other beasts that are normally afraid of thunder, there will be a great chance that those beasts will also evolve…”

Su Ping found the methods to make a pet evolve in one of those books. To create a stimulus by working on the pet's fears was one of the methods. For example, a beast of the water family that was afraid of fire would either die quickly or evolve when entering a world of fire.

Normally, the chances of death would be greater. However, if there were trainers who could offer instructions, there would be a greater chance that the beast would mutate and evolve. My dog and dragon have died in the cultivation sites too many times and have been through much stronger stimulation. They have already learned the skills of other families. To propel evolution with this method would be hard for them.

Of course, there's still a chance. However, the dog's bloodline has evolved after receiving the dragon king's legacy. Its bloodline is second only to the Little Skeleton's bloodline.

The dog can reach beyond the legendary rank without any hindrance!

At the moment, the one with the weakest bloodline is the Purple Python. Its upper limit is the sixth rank. To reach a rank higher will be hard.

The Purple Python is not as lucky as the dog, since it got the legacy of a higher being. I'll have to find its weakness. It is just that its weakness is hard to find…

Su Ping was not in a rush to make the Purple Python evolve.

After all, with a better bloodline, the Purple Python would climb higher on the ranks as well.

In that case, he would have to double down on his effort to give the Purple Python an above-average apt.i.tude.

He would rather train a sixth-rank pet than a beast king pet to make sure that it would attain an apt.i.tude rated as above average. Su Ping decided to let the Purple Python stay as it was.

After all, some requirements of the system were based on apt.i.tude as the threshold.

For example, he could only open up a professional training service after he had a pet with an above-average apt.i.tude.

Su Ping did not know if the system's standards would become higher in the future. He decided to let the Purple Python stay at the sixth-rank just to be safe.

Take the dog as an example. After the dog's rank climbed higher, the dog's apt.i.tude rating had dropped. Of course, its combat strength had increased. And yet, the increase was not on a large scale. To make sure that the dog's apt.i.tude rating could rise again, Su Ping would have to have the dog go through a much stricter training On the third day.

The Vice Chairman visited Su Ping early in the morning

It was the finals of the trainers' compet.i.tion.

The deciding game!

There would be an award ceremony once the results were announced. Then, the top trainers would go and pick students. The media would be present live streaming the event.

In the past, the real finale would take place when the top trainers went to fight for students.

After all, being able to get outstanding students would help to spread the top trainers' influence as well, because the students could grow to be master trainers or even top trainers in the future!

The top trainers were the ones who stood at the peak of the trainers' pyramid.

The ones that were more outstanding than top trainers were the Holy Spirit Trainers that only existed in stories.

There were no more Holy Spirit Trainers in the Subcontinent District. The last Holy Spirit Trainer had pa.s.sed away over a hundred years in the past. With no Holy Spirit Trainer present in the current century, whenever a legendary battle pet warrior wanted to have a beast king trained, he or she would have to go to another Subcontinent District and pay a large sum of money to get a Holy Spirit Trainer to help. Sometimes, the legendary battle pet warrior would have to agree to many outrageous terms.

There were merely two Holy Spirit Trainers in the whole world and they were both found in other continents.

Top trainers were the most prominent ones as well in the Holy Light Base City. Some of the younger top trainers who were about fifty years of age were still working to become Holy Spirit Trainers. The older trainers who had pa.s.sed the hundred year threshold had already given up on such unrealistic aspirations.

The difference between top trainers and Holy Spirit Trainers was bigger than that between t.i.tled and legendary battle pet warriors!

The top trainers would rather teach more outstanding students than work to become Holy Spirit Trainers themselves. They could increase their presence in the circle of trainers if their students could grow to be master trainers.

The Vice Chairman gave Su Ping a ride to the venue.

On the way, the Vice Chairman showed Su Ping the videos of the Top 10 performances so that he would have more options. The Top 3 players that were competing that day were included in the videos as well. That way, Su Ping would be able to know them better.

Su Ping watched the videos one by one.

Su Ping was surprised to see that the trainers' compet.i.tion was not boring at all. It was just as intense as the battle pet warriors' compet.i.tions.

There were no bellows, nor shouts, and yet the practice of various training skills was quite thrilling as well. “So, anyone you like?” The Vice Chairman smiled.

The top trainer would not merely look at the partic.i.p.ants' skills, but their personalities as well.

“They are all very good,” Su Ping answered.

“What?”

The Vice Chairman looked at him. None of them was good enough for Su Ping?

As a matter of fact, Su Ping honestly thought all the partic.i.p.ants were quite outstanding. Some of them clearly weren't displaying their full abilities so Su Ping couldn't gauge the limit of their strength. Some of the other partic.i.p.ants had to give their best efforts and yet several barely pa.s.sed the last round and several were eliminated. He didn't plan on finding a student among the partic.i.p.ants of the second group.

Soon, they arrived at the venue.

The venue was the largest stadium in the Holy Light District.

Other top-level compet.i.tions would be held there as well. That stadium was the best there was in the Holy Light Base City. Not everyone could have the right to host an event there.

There was a sea of people inside. All seats were occupied

But contrary to the battle pet warriors' compet.i.tions, no one cheered. The audience just whispered. Still, given the fact that there were over a hundred thousand people present, their whispers amounted to a noise.
