8: Chapter 8: Four Talent Skills? Become a Core Student!

Now, the Appraisal Pen could not measure its Aptitude.

Principal He could only estimate the accurate Aptitude of this Fire Dragon Fish through some information.

For example, the number of skills the Vicious Beast possessed.

Generally, the better the Innate Aptitude of a Vicious Beast, the more Innate basic Innate Talent Skills it would have.

A Gold Rank Vicious Beast was conservatively estimated to have at least two Innate Talent Skills; he only needed to confirm if Jiang Yun's beast had properly reached Gold Rank Aptitude.

As long as Jiang Yun's beast reached Gold Rank Aptitude, even if Jiang Yun was just an ordinary Beast Tamer without talent, he would still have cultivation value for the school.

"Principal, my beast has four Innate Talent Skills."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun did not hide it.

After all, if he truly became a Core Student, his beast's skills would inevitably be used in front of others and exposed sooner or later, so there was no need to hide it at all.

However, Jiang Yun was cautious and did not mention the ranks of these four Innate Talent Skills.

Jiang Yun did not have the ability to identify the strength of a Vicious Beast's skill ranks; if he spoke carelessly, it would inevitably raise suspicion and might bring him unnecessary trouble.

After all, since even the Appraisal Pen could not identify any information, it would seem perfectly normal for Jiang Yun to know nothing.

"What! Four Innate Talent Skills?"

When he heard Jiang Yun's answer.

Even as a top-tier Amethyst Rank powerhouse of C City and the Principal of Qingquan No. 1 Middle School, He Tiangang couldn't help but be startled.

It was as if he had heard something inconceivable.

The Instructor on the side even blurted out a "Holy sh*t!" in shock.

He looked at Jiang Yun with an expression of disbelief.

"Student Jiang Yun, you aren't joking with us, are you? Your beast has four Innate Talent Skills?"

"Do you know that it's already extremely rare for a Gold Rank Vicious Beast with outstanding Aptitude to have two skills? Even for the powerful Amethyst Rank, there are only three Innate Talent Skills, and that is also very rare!"

"Moreover, your beast is just a Fire Dragon Fish, which is considered a rare species; its Aptitude would at most be Gold Rank Peak. I would believe you if you said it had two Innate Talent Skills."

"You're saying your beast has four Innate Talent Skills? You aren't intentionally making fun of the Principal and me, are you?"

As the Instructor spoke, a hint of anger appeared on his face.

Jiang Yun, however, did not show much emotional change.

He still replied with great certainty, "Teacher, I'm not joking. My beast indeed has four Innate Talent Skills."

Seeing that Jiang Yun didn't look like he was lying.

The Instructor didn't know what to say for a moment.

He couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the Principal.

"Principal... this..."

The Principal glanced at the Fire Dragon Fish nearby, then fixed his gaze on Jiang Yun.

After a few breaths, his emotions completely calmed down.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

"Student Jiang Yun, I believe you are telling the truth. Although a Fire Dragon Fish having four Innate Talent Skills sounds inconceivable, it doesn't rule out the possibility. After all, there are many Mutated Fierce Beasts in this world."

"It's very difficult to identify information about these beasts. Because their Physique has mutated for some reason, they possess even more Heaven-Defying Innate Aptitude than others of the same species."

"Presumably, Student Jiang Yun's Fire Dragon Fish belongs to this type of mutated beast, which is why the Appraisal Pen couldn't detect its Aptitude."

"As for its Aptitude, a conservative estimate is that it definitely has Gold Rank Peak Aptitude."

"It's even possible it has reached Amethyst Rank Aptitude!"

He Tiangang said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Usually solemn, his face now showed a slightly different expression.

Hearing the Principal's words.

Jiang Yun's heart suddenly jolted.

Jiang Yun, who possessed the Divine-Grade skill Manifestation of All Things Entries, naturally knew very well.

His beast was indeed no ordinary Fire Dragon Fish, but one with a Pseudo-Dragon Bloodline, and it even had the potential to leap through the Dragon Gate and become a True Dragon in the end.

Calling it a mutation... wasn't wrong... but Jiang Yun hadn't expected that the information he could only see through his Innate Talent Skill would be analyzed by the Principal with just a few clues... This made Jiang Yun feel the pressure and danger of being around such a powerhouse.

At this thought, Jiang Yun felt a chill run down his spine.

He only hoped that the Principal before him wasn't some hypocritical 'upright gentleman'... "What! Am... Amethyst Rank Aptitude!"

Just as Jiang Yun was feeling nervous and unsure how to respond.

The Instructor on the side was the first to cry out in shock!

This caused both He Tiangang and Jiang Yun to turn their gazes toward him.

"S-sorry! Principal He! I was just too shocked, so... I lost my composure a bit!"

Noticing their gazes.

The Instructor realized he had lost his composure.

He immediately bowed to apologize.

The Principal waved his hand upon seeing this.

"It's fine. Even I am actually somewhat shocked. Now that Student Jiang Yun's beast's Aptitude is determined, Student Jiang Yun will become a Core Student specifically nurtured by our school."

"Since you were the one who discovered him, please take a trip to handle the registration procedures for him."

"You have merit for discovering a Genius. After finishing the procedures, go and collect your reward!"

He Tiangang did not mind the Instructor's loss of composure; instead, he instructed him to complete the Core Student registration for Jiang Yun and mentioned giving him a reward.

Hearing He Tiangang's words.

The Instructor immediately beamed with joy.

He had brought Jiang Yun here not just to ensure such a Genius wasn't overlooked, but more importantly, to get a reward.

"Yes, I'll go do it right away."

With those words, the Instructor left the office in excitement.

Only Jiang Yun and Principal He Tiangang remained in the office.

Facing the Aura of an Amethyst Rank Beast Tamer powerhouse alone, Jiang Yun felt immense pressure.

If the other party wanted to kill him and seize his beast, now would probably be the best time.

For an Amethyst Rank Beast Tamer, killing him would be extremely easy, and erasing the Contract Mark from his hand to take the beast would be even simpler.

If Principal He Tiangang were to move against him, he would have no room for resistance.

His strength was still too weak in front of an Amethyst Rank Beast Tamer.

Feeling that powerful sense of oppression.

Jiang Yun's heart suddenly became very uneasy and anxious.

Just as Jiang Yun was feeling anxious.

He Tiangang suddenly spoke.

"Possessing a treasure without panic, remaining calm in the face of temptation—to be able to maintain such a steady mindset despite having a beast with such Aptitude."

"Student Jiang Yun, your Heart-Nature is very good. I hope you can maintain it in the future."

He Tiangang smiled and expressed his approval of Jiang Yun.

On the path of a Beast Tamer's cultivation, talent is certainly important, but Heart-Nature is equally vital; only by remaining calm can one achieve success.

Seeing Jiang Yun's performance just now, he saw a future in Jiang Yun that surpassed his own, so he couldn't help but praise him.

"The Principal overpraises me."

Jiang Yun responded humbly to the Principal's praise.

But at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly, the Principal only had admiration for him and would not do anything like killing him for his possessions.

And Jiang Yun's humble attitude.

Once again made He Tiangang nod in satisfaction.

"Alright, Student Jiang Yun, back to the point. Let's talk business!"

Business?

Jiang Yun frowned slightly in confusion upon hearing this.

But he soon reacted and couldn't help but become invigorated.

Thinking of the Instructor's previous words.

The "business" the Principal mentioned was clearly the reward for becoming a Core Student!

This was about discussing the 200,000 beast-taming resources!
