silence!
A silent stillness enveloped the entire concave rock wall.
Everyone was stunned into silence.
No one expected that Lin Ze would actually keep his word and successfully kill the Death Knell.
The scene before them was a huge shock.
For quite a while.
The crowd gradually came to their senses, and their gazes toward Lin Ze were now filled with undisguised awe.
"That's incredible!"
"They actually killed a fourth-tier ferocious beast!"
"This strength is in no way inferior to that of a Bronze Beastmaster!"
"Compared to the Death Knell, I feel like Lin Ze is more like a monster."
The last sentence garnered considerable approval.
Who can argue with that?
At the age of eighteen, he not only possessed a third-tier pet beast, but was also proficient in soul techniques and had an astonishing amount of soul power.
Any one of these qualities, if applied to a trainee beast tamer, would be enough to earn the title of genius.
Moreover, all three are present.
Describing it as a monster wouldn't be an exaggeration!
Luo Da glanced at Lin Ze with a complicated expression, feeling both dejected and amazed.
A genius like Lin Ze, as long as he doesn't die prematurely, will surely become a peerless powerhouse whose name resounds throughout the Federation in the future!
Compared to him, I've wasted all these years trying to improve myself.
Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating!
...
After the swarm of insects collapsed, Ice Crystal Soul returned to Lin Ze's side.
After a fierce battle, although she successfully killed her opponent, Ice Crystal Soul was also exhausted, and her delicate face showed undisguised fatigue.
"Well done!"
Lin Ze smiled and patted the pet's head.
Ice Crystal Soul let out a soft chirp and happily rubbed against his palm.
After praising his pet a few times, Lin Ze turned his attention back to his achievements.
The familiar warning sounded in the mind of the one who struck the death knell the moment he died.
[Achievement accomplished!]
[First Boss Kill]: Kill a ferocious beast king. The level must be Tier 3 or above. To complete the achievement, you will receive 300 achievement points and 1 Soul Replenishing Potion (Completed, reward to be claimed).
[Achievement accomplished!]
[Turning the Tide]: Successfully reverse a predicament by saving double-digit numbers of people. Achieving this achievement will earn you 500 achievement points and 1 Resurrection Potion (Completed, reward to be claimed).
"really."
Lin Ze was overjoyed.
Just as he had guessed, killing the Death Knell indeed unlocked a new achievement.
With two achievements completed in a row, all the achievement points he had just spent were immediately replenished, and there were even some left over.
This deal was a great bargain!
Lin Ze immediately accepted the reward and took the opportunity to check the instructions for the revival potion.
[Restoration Potion: A miraculous potion containing a massive amount of life force. It instantly heals all injuries upon consumption and works on both beast tamers and their pets.]
"A very practical effect!"
Lin Ze put away the medicine with satisfaction.
Suddenly.
A commotion arose in the crowd.
Lin Ze looked up and saw a dark shadow flying rapidly toward them from a distance.
Only when you get closer do you realize that it is a giant eagle, with a completely black body and a pure white head.
White-headed giant eagle, a sixth-tier wind-attribute pet.
The giant eagle flew at an extremely fast speed and soon arrived in front of the group, folding its wings and landing on the open ground.
Immediately afterwards, two people jumped off the eagle's back.
Lin Ze looked closely and realized it was someone he knew.
They were none other than He Zhenwen and Lu Peixin, the two examiners from the internship assessment.
"you..."
He Zhenwen looked around in surprise, a hint of doubt in his expression.
He and Lu Peixin received a message from the association saying that a swarm of insects had broken out in Deathstroke Canyon, trapping a large number of adventurers inside, so they rushed over to rescue them.
But upon closer inspection, there were quite a few dead insects, but very few living Deathstroke beetles.
There's not a trace of an insect infestation.
"Could it be that the insect swarm has been repelled?"
He Zhenwen glanced at the adventurers, secretly surprised.
There were only a little over a hundred adventurers present, the vast majority of whom were apprentice beast tamers.
With such strength, it would be quite impressive if they could withstand the insect swarm.
It's simply impossible to repel the insect swarm.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to ask the association for help.
He Zhenwen was completely baffled.
"Master He, Master Lu."
Rhoda approached and greeted the two respectfully.
"I remember your name is Roda, right? What's the situation now?"
He Zhenwen asked in a firm voice.
Luo Da quickly recounted the whole story in detail.
Upon hearing this, He Zhenwen and Lu Peixin were both stunned, their gazes involuntarily falling on Lin Ze in the crowd, their faces filled with astonishment.
Tier 3 pet!
Level 5 Soul Arrow!
A wondrous item that can enhance the combat power of your pet!
He single-handedly defeated the fourth-tier ferocious beast, the Death Knell Breaker!
The two felt a moment of disorientation, as if they were in a dream.
Yesterday, during the internship evaluation, Lin Ze's pet was only at the second tier.
How come it suddenly became a Tier 3 pet beast after only one day?
Judging from its unchanged appearance, it can't be considered evolution. So how did it manage to do it?
More importantly, Lin Ze also mastered three soul techniques, among which Soul Arrow was even cultivated to level five.
My God, he's only eighteen years old!
Even if one starts cultivating the Soul Chain Technique from the very beginning of contracting a pet, the time would definitely not exceed one year.
To have achieved such mastery in such a short time is simply astonishing!
He Zhenwen and Lu Peixin exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with intense shock.
Although they had long known that Lin Ze was exceptionally talented, they still realized that they had underestimated him.
Even those from prestigious families of beast tamers, who have received meticulous training since childhood, are far inferior to Lin Ze.
This young man is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime genius!
For quite a while.
The two of them had barely processed the shock of the news.
He Zhenwen let out a long sigh and said, "The two of us arrived first. The main force of the reinforcements sent by the association is still behind. You will tell them the details of what happened later."
"Yes, sir."
Rhoda respectfully accepted.
He Zhenwen nodded and walked towards Lin Ze, his face now bearing a warm smile.
"Young friend Lin, we meet again. You have done a great service this time, saving many lives. On behalf of the association, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
Lin Ze said calmly, "You flatter me, sir. I was just trying to protect myself."
Lin Ze's calm and composed demeanor once again impressed He Zhenwen, who admired him even more.
"In any case, you deserve most of the credit for repelling this insect swarm."
"Furthermore, you also killed the Deathstroke Ringer, successfully eliminating the source of the Deathstroke Canyon swarm insurgency. For that alone, the Association should thank you."
Lin Ze wasn't interested in any so-called gratitude. He smiled and said, "There's no need for gratitude. I'm just here to carry out a mission."
He Zhenwen understood immediately and replied with a smile, "That's right. You can say that you have completed this mission perfectly. Once this matter is over, the association will definitely pay you a satisfactory reward."
Lin Ze smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Lu Peixin, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Young friend Lin, could you sell me the corpse of that Toller of the Deathly Hallows?"
