Upon seeing this, Callum West said, "Later, all you need to do is stand in front of that machine. When you're ready, output your strongest attack!"

​Nodding slightly, Kieran walked towards a machine in the corner.

​During this process, Callum quickly took out his cell phone and dialled a number.

​Before long, a fat middle-aged man walked in, his face full of impatience, "Teacher West, have you lost your mind? It's just a student's combat value test.. Why call me here? To cheer him on?"

​Upon hearing this, Callum quickly explained, "Principal, this student is a bit different!"

​As his words fell, as if to substantiate Callum's claim, Kieran directly threw a punch.

​Boom!

​With that loud sound, even the principal could not help but turn to look in the direction of Kieran.

​One hundred and five!

​The principal's face suddenly changed dramatically!

​"Mr. West, where did this student pop up from? Is he from our school? Which class is he from? Why haven't I seen him before?"

​Staring at Kieran for a while, the Headmaster felt strange and then continuously asked Callum sitting beside.

​As the head of a school, he had seen all the most outstanding students in the graduating class, but Kieran, let alone having seen him, he hadn't even heard of this name.

​"Headmaster, Kieran is our own student, he is from class nine. He had been concealing his abilities until today!"

​Callum knew in his heart that since the Headmaster asked this, he would definitely cultivate Kieran vigorously, so he quickly told everything he knew.

​"Top stage?"

​Looking at Kieran, the Headmaster patted him on the shoulder with a gratified look, and said slowly: "If you succeed in reaching the threshold of a one-star fighter before the college entrance examination, you can choose any university you want!"

​After saying this, the Headmaster paused slightly, then asked softly: "You are a dual-element fighter, aren't you?"

​In the Headmaster's view, there were only two possible reasons why Kieran could achieve a combat value far exceeding the usual at such a young age.

​On the one hand, Kieran was a rare genius!

​On the other hand, it could be that Kieran was a dual-element fighter with one element reaching the top stage and the other at a mid-term level!

​In comparison, the Headmaster would rather believe that Kieran was a dual-element fighter!

​At this, Kieran neither denied nor admitted, just ambiguously said: "That should be the case!"

​In the ears of Callum and the others, this sentence was no different from an affirmative answer!

​"Kieran, as the headmaster, I suggest you prioritize enhancing your top stage element. As for the other element, consider it after your cultivation reaches a certain level!"

​"Of course, this is just my opinion; you're free to reject it."

​"Additionally, how would you like the school to prepare you for the upcoming entrance exams?"

​Given Kieran's current level, the usual training programs wouldn't suffice.

​"Principal, I'm curious if there are special rewards offered by the school for my performance. Say, something like gold coins?"

​Upon hearing this, Callum kept throwing signals at Kieran. Isn't it a waste to claim cultivation resources at this time instead of more valuable items like gold coins?

​Meanwhile, the principal laughed and slowly said, "Indeed, we do have a reward policy. However, the gold coins aren't much-only a hundred thousand."

​One hundred thousand gold coins was already a substantial amount for Kieran.

​With his existing gold coins, he already has nearly five hundred thousand in total.

​For many regular families, this is something they could only dream of!

​"I must be honest, principal, my family's financial situation is quite average: I kindly request you to expedite this reward to me."

​At this, the principal slightly nodded.

​He could tell from Kieran's attire that the student indeed came from a less affluent background.

​"Not a problem, you'll receive the reward within three days. Anything else that you would like from the school?"

​Upon hearing this, Kieran sank into thought then slowly replied, "Principal, I hope the school can afford me the maximum freedom in this period. I have my own ways of cultivating."

​Without giving it a second thought, the principal readily agreed.

​After all, the fact that Kieran could cultivate secretly to this day is enough to prove that his method of cultivation is flawless!

​Following a brief conversation with the principal, Kieran immediately left the school.

​As for the practical training, he had already exposed his strength. There was no need for him to return.

​Approximately half an hour later, Kieran appeared at the largest trading center in Ironhaven City.

​This is where douluos bought and sold beast nuclei, elixirs, and various kinds of items, and it is officially managed. Therefore, with Kieran's status, he could enjoy certain discounts!

​He had two purposes for this visit: one was to get a top-grade Wind Element beast nucleus; the other was an Ice Element beast nucleus.

​Since his perception of the Wind Element was only at S-level, he had previously used a top-grade beast nucleus to barely bring his strength up to the initial stage of tempering. He was just a step away from the intermediate stage!

​So, to reach the peak of the Wind Element, he would need at least two more top-grade Wind Element beast nuclei.

​As for his Ice Element, although his talent was at the SS level, to be on the safe side, he would also require two beast nuclei of the same elements.

​After browsing around the market, he spotted his target.

​He went straight to inquire about the price.

​"Sir, for two top-grade Wind Element beast nuclei, it will be 300,000 gold coins in total. May I ask how you would like to pay?"

​Hearing this, Kieran frowned instantly, "Why is it so expensive? Isn't a Fire Element beast nucleus of the same grade only 100,000 gold coins?"

​As soon as he finished speaking, the salesman immediately explained with a smile, "Sir, you might not be aware, but in addition to their grade, the price of a beast nucleus also depends on the rarity of that monster or demonic beast corresponding to that element."

​"Like Wind Element beasts, they are extremely rare, so the price is naturally a bit higher."

​It wasn't until this moment that Kieran realized, different elemental beast cores all had varied prices!

​After a brief contemplation, Kieran gritted his teeth and ultimately decided to buy these two beast cores.

​"By the way, do I get any discounts here?"

​As he asked, Kieran took out his Dou Union's certification report.

    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
