After operating the system for a while, Julian said slowly.

Sure enough, within a minute, Kieran received a message about the gold coins' arrival.

A total of three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!

"By the way, Brother Vale, judging by your appearance, you're still a student, aren't you?" Julian started a new topic after confirming his thoughts.

"Yes, I am currently a student at No. 1 Middle School." Kieran responded, giving a slight nod.

"Oh? I didn't expect that we would have such a connection, we're alumni! You should refer to me as your senior now!" Julian was definitely skilled in socializing, managing to build a closer relationship with just a few words.

"Director Hale, I have a question for you." Kieran stopped beating around the bush. "If a dual-element user goes for certification, will there be any special rewards?"

Dual-element?

Upon hearing those words, Iris looked at Kieran in absolute shock. The very fact that he brought this up meant he could possibly be a dual-element cultivator!

Julian pondered a moment before replying, "Even though dual-element fighters are extremely rare, the Fighter Alliance does not provide special rewards for this."

"As we all know, single-element cultivation is already difficult. As for dual-element fighters, it requires double the time and effort for cultivation."

"Therefore, the Fighter Alliance suggests that dual-element fighters focus on one single element. Once they reach the peak, they can start cultivating the other element."

Hearing this, Kieran simply nodded.

In contrast, Julian seemed to understand belatedly: "Brother Vale, could it be that you are a dual-element user?"

Kieran didn't directly answer, making it uncomfortable for Julian to ask further.

"Director Hale, since the rewards are already in place, I won't bother you anymore!"

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Kieran didn't want to linger any longer. He got up and left immediately.

With Kieran's departure, Iris then spoke decisively: "Director Hale, I am sure that Mr. Vale is definitely a dual-element fighter!"

Upon hearing this, Julian just nodded slightly and exclaimed: "To reach such a peak at his age, even if he is a triple-element fighter, I would believe it!"

As his words fell, Iris thought deeply and nodded in agreement. Soon after, as if thinking of something, she hurriedly said: "Director Hale, there's another matter that I feel necessary to report to you!"

"I feel that there seems to be some conflict between Mr. Vale and Damien."

Hearing this, Julian's eyes lit up instantly and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Tell me in detail!"

Soon, Iris recounted Kieran's reaction upon hearing the good news from the city lord's mansion.

"From what you've said, it does seem quite possible."

With Julian's identity and status, he naturally had a good understanding of all the major families in Sky Fighting City, including the Ashcroft family.

However, in his impression, there was no existence of the Vale family, and from Kieran's appearance, he was just a child from an ordinary family. Thinking of this, Julian immediately said in a low voice: "Iris, go and investigate the relationship between Kieran and the Ashcroft family right away, remember, you must keep this mission secret!"

On the other side, Kieran had just returned home and saw his parents waiting in the living room.

"Mom, Dad, what is this about...?"

This kind of parental confrontation was all too familiar to Kieran.

After glancing at his wife, Marcus sternly said, "Kieran, your mom and I have discussed it, we've decided to sell the beast core that we obtained earlier. Now you're at a critical juncture, this money will be good for you to catch up, striving to cross the threshold of the body tempering period before graduation!"

Hearing this, Kieran was stunned and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Dad, weren't you unwilling before?"

Before, Marcus was unwilling to sell the beast core, mainly because of his sentimental attachment to his team leader.

But now, he thought it through. Rather than seeing this beast core every day, it would be better to sell it to supplement the family income and relieve some of the pressure on Kieran and his mother.

"I had a mental block before, Dad didn't get it!"

"I understand now. The captain didn't give me the beast core to keep as a treasure. He definitely wouldn't want to see my current situation either!"

The words fell, and Marcus and Elena looked at Kieran again.

"No way! I can't sell it!"

What a joke!

The beast core has already been swallowed by him, where can he sell it!

"Dad, Mom, I'm already at the early stage of the Body Tempering Stage, you don't have to worry about my cultivation!"

In order to dispel his parents' doubts, Kieran said directly.

Hearing this, the old couple glanced at each other. Then, Elena got up slowly, touched Kieran's forehead, and said with a puzzled face, "His body temperature is normal, why is he talking nonsense?"

Seeing this, Kieran smiled helplessly, directly taking out his freshly minted certification report.

"Dad, Mom, I went out earlier to get my certification from the Fight Union. This is my report!"

Upon hearing this, Elena took the report and, after seeing the prominently written "Early stage of Body Tempering" on it, she instantly laughed with joy, "Wow, it really is the early stage of Body Tempering!"

On the side, Marcus, due to his poor health, couldn't move and could only sit on the couch urging, "Show me quickly!"

You see, achieving the early stage of Body Tempering before graduation is something only very capable students can accomplish!

The next day, at No. 1 Middle School.

"Later, the school will conduct a live-action drill for the graduating class. At that time, we'll evaluate your performance and provide special training for some of the outstanding students!"

"This is closely related to your future college entrance examination. We hope that you all will give it your all, not only to bring honor to your class but also for your future!"

"Did all of you hear that clear?"

The instructor's gaze briefly passed over everyone's faces, his voice brimming with solemnity.

"Understood!"

Everyone naturally knew what this combat drill meant, eager and ready to flex their skills.

An hour later, at the training field.

By the time Class 9, where Kieran was located, arrived, the field was already crowded.

By conservative estimation, there was at least one thousand students from the graduating classes of No. 1 Middle School.

To conveniently assess the students' capabilities, the school deliberately adopted the arena battle format, dividing all students evenly into several groups, each group led and evaluated by a resident teacher.

Kieran's Class 9 was coincidentally divided into the third group.

"Hello everyone, I'm the teacher responsible for evaluating your performances. My name is Callum West, and I ask everyone to give their utmost effort!"

As a teacher walked into the field, numerous students began to curiously inquire.

"Teacher West, do we challenge you?"

Hearing this question, Callum West chuckled softly and replied calmly, "Naturally, the challenges should be between students. I am at the peak of body tempering stage. I won't refuse any challenge if you lot dare to take it on."

"Besides, we will adopt the format of arena battle, with defenders and challengers!"

"So, who wants to be the defender next?”

    Seeing that everyone was interested, Zachary smiled, "For the first place, naturally, it's the Ninth Academy!"He didn't keep them in suspense, looking towards the people from the Ninth Academy. "Do you see that white-robed youth walking next to Malcolm?"Everyone nodded."He's Simon, ranked fifth in the Ninth Academy!""That's Simon?" Someone looked at the youth with curiosity."Some of you might wonder, why, on the basis of a single Simon, should the Ninth Academy definitely be number one? But if you look closely, isn't the Ninth Academy's team today different from the people who came yesterday?" Zachary reminded.When they took a closer look, indeed, today's members from the Ninth Academy were drastically different from yesterday's."The Ninth Academy has quietly switched out its members. They only left two new students, the others are all old students who are not bad. I won't go into the specifics on who they are.""And their motive for doing this is most likely because of the emb

    Everyone nodded in agreement. Humanity not only needed great people but couldn't do without the ordinary ones.General Montgomery pondered for a moment and said, "Beast Cores are quite versatile, and they are also very useful for the military. This task assignment gives your students a chance to gain practical experience. All the materials from the monster beast fall into the military's possession.""With this, if you decide to join my Southern War Zone after graduation, I promise to give you half of the Beast Cores from this monster creature. How about it?"Kieran was taken aback and bitterly laughed. "General Montgomery, aren't you making it hard for me?"If he were to join the Southern War Zone, what would happen when Commander Brennan found out? He would skin him alive. The Dragon Blood wasn't absorbed for nothing. He didn't have any to give back when demanded.Montgomery also understood the relationship between Kieran and the Western War Zone and said regretfully, "The Western Wa

    At that moment, the length of the rift had already exceeded hundreds of meters, a definite indication that it was fully opened.General Montgomery nodded, "Almost, once the rift fully opens, it would be just like the first uprising. After that, there would be sporadic uprisings."He pointed at the opening of the rift, "Look closely, do you notice the tremors of the rift?"Kieran nodded, the tremors of the rift were quite subtle, but noticeable upon close observation."Based on the degree and frequency of the rift's tremors, combined with our years of experience, we can gauge the timing and scale of the Beast Mutations. It's usually quite accurate."General Montgomery added jokingly, "It's strange when you think about it, like a lifeline granted to humanity by the heavens, allowing us to make these observations before each Beast Mutation occurs."It was indeed a fortunate coincidence. Without these rift tremors, the timing and scale of each Beast Mutation would be difficult to predict.

    The Ninth Academy had not attached much importance to this mission, hence, most of the participants were freshmen. There were two sophomores, but in his opinion, none of them were a match for Kieran.If they didn't replace him with someone stronger, Kieran would undoubtedly steal the entire limelight, something the Ninth Academy could not tolerate, because Kieran was the person they had once rejected."For our own good?" Lucas and Eric both had unhappy expressions.However, they didn't speak, though internally, they remained unconvinced. They were also Generals, and believed they were not inferior to anyone of the same age."Director Malcolm, do you know the other party?" A sophomore asked from the midst of the Ninth Academy members.Malcolm looked at the person across him. This man was supposed to be the strongest among the batch who came this time.He nodded, "Yes, we've met before.""That's interesting. Judging from Director Malcolm's expression, this man seems to be quite powerful

    At this moment, Kieran moved into the crowd, then began to walk through the crowd toward the people of the First Academy."Commander!"Suddenly, a voice resounded from the military department side.Everyone was stunned, looking around, but they didn't see any big shots from the military department, showing perplexity immediately.Following that, they saw the person in charge of the military department, ignoring Malcolm altogether and ran to Kieran, saluting him in military style."Holy moly, what's happening?" Everyone was momentarily stupefied.Even the people from the various Saint Academies couldn't help turning their heads to look, then revealed their shocked expressions.Malcolm's pupils contracted. "It's him!"His impression of Kieran was profound. After all, Kieran was the first one who outright declined the Ninth Academy due to its failure to agree on resources. A subsequent star also rejected the Ninth Academy because of him. Even the gifted individuals from Blackwood Provinc

    The current First Academy makes all newcomers and old students from other academies feel suffocated.Before, when students from the Saint Academies of Imperial City gathered together, they would always mock the students of the First Academy. Now, however, he glanced forward, and the other academies did not dare make a peep.And all of this is because of one person, Kieran Vale.He had followed the First Academy to watch Kieran in action; the fright that Kieran gave off, he still couldn't forget to this day.He tried to look around, but he could not see Kieran."Even if he's not here, the other four Saint Academies in Imperial City are all quiet!" He sighed internally, this was simply an impossibility in previous years."I've heard about the strongest newcomer in the First Academy too, but it's hard for me to believe!" Someone shook his head and said."Indeed, a newcomer can be that strong, that's just outrageous!" Someone else shook his head in agreement.One person from the Imperial
