“It’s up to you, take care of them.”
As soon as David Jones’ words fell, Daphne leapt into mid-air, and the roaring red and gold flames surged out of her body with an unparalleled fierceness. Rumbling! The sky-high flames enveloped all the Rock Beetles in an instant.
“Sizzle!”
The thick armor that sustained the beetles’ life was burned to ashes by the flames, as the beetles struggled in the sea of fire that brought the shadow of death. They let out resentful cries, but all their efforts were in vain. In the blink of an eye, all the Rock Beetles were reduced to a distressing black ashes. Ignoring the crushed Rock Beetles behind him, David Jones briefly surveyed the surroundings, chose a direction based on his intuition, and began to move forward.
Inside the Rosewood College, the assessment monitoring room.
In addition to the intelligent machine Dubhe 1, which was shooting and collecting real-time images of the Earth Labyrinth to make appropriate evaluations, some teachers of Rosewood College were observing tens of thousands of crowded screens in front of them, trying to find potential candidates they were interested in.
Yes every year at this time, the teachers of Rosewood College would pick the disciples they wanted based on the exam candidates’ performances and extend an olive branch to them.
As senior mentors of Rosewood College, they had certain privileges.
Even if a candidate did not perform well or rank within the top two thousand, the mentors could let the college make an exception and recruit the candidate as their disciple, as long as they felt the candidate suited their legacy. Of course, this quota was limited and extremely precious!
Currently, there were over a thousand teachers at Rosewood College, but only a few dozen could have the exceptional recruitment quota.
At this moment, a female teacher wearing a gray and black bamboo-sleeved cool shirt and a chrysanthemum-blue skirt, and a red shawl hanging from her back, noticed David Jones.
This teacher was Serena Ancientface, a teacher of the Battle Department at Rosewood College, a King-Level Trainer, who was planning to find a suitable candidate to become her personal disciple this year, to expand her network and influence.
“An aberrant Titanium Ragdoll; it seems to be a talent unearthed by Rosalind. Could this kid be the SSS-class top genius that’s been making waves lately?
As one of the Big Four among the newcomers this year, Serena Ancientface had heard of David Jones, and she unconsciously gave him more attention.
Although she knew she couldn’t compete with the other mentors due to her lack of credentials and it would be difficult for her to recruit such a monstrously genius Trainer, she still couldn’t help but feel tempted.
“What if?”
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
“Teacher Serena.”
When Serena turned her head, she saw a beautiful blonde woman with shoulder-length hair that casually cascaded down, willow-like eyebrows, and a pair of stunningly beautiful eyes that resembled red crystal.
Her delicate face was as tender and white as a young girl’s, but her eyes were full of vicissitudes, giving her a mature temperament.
She wore a khaki robe, with black jade-colored earrings, and her right hand as white as green onions wore three exquisitely crafted rings with different designs. These accessories exuded an extraordinary aura, and they were obviously powerful arcane implements of high rank.
“Professor Harvey, do you plan to personally recruit a direct disciple this year?” Serena showed a surprised expression.
Audrey Harvey, a Level II professor in the Pharmacy Department at Rosewood College, a Grandmaster Pharmacist, and an Epic-Level Trainer, was also Director Hoyle’s chief disciple and a senior mentor in the pharmacy teaching and elixir research courses at Rosewood College.
It can be said that, apart from Director Hoyle, many important affairs in the Pharmacy Department of Rosewood College were presided over by Professor Harvey, and even somewhat exaggeratedly, some of the department’s current rules and regulations were formulated according to her ideas.
As a powerful and revered Grandmaster pharmacist, if Professor Harvey wanted to recruit a new apprentice, she only had to say a word and a large number of talents would eagerly come forward to pay their respects.
In theory, such an influential figure should not appear in this monitoring room for screening talents, unless there was a monster here that caught her eye. Thinking of this, Serena’s subconscious gaze fell on David Jones’s image.
“I recently took on a new disciple, and I happened to have some time today, so I wanted to see how this new little apprentice performs,” Audrey Harvey said with a slight smile, implying something.
Wen Yan’s heart leaped at the words, and a wave of loss surged in her heart. She looked at the indifferent figure on the screen and whispered, “Is the new disciple Director Hoyle has taken on is David Jones, the recently rising SSS-class genius?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Audrey Harvey answered concisely and clearly, then glanced at the young man on the screen who was striding forward along with Serena’s gaze.
“He is an interesting young man!”
Thinking of her teacher’s evaluation of David Jones, Audrey Harvey’s beautiful eyes sparkled slightly.
As her words fell, the monitoring room became silent.
“Unbelievable! Director Hoyle has actually taken on an apprentice!
The teachers who were able to enter the monitoring room to select their satisfactory apprentices were all King-level or above. As Serena and Audrey Harvey did not avoid talking in front of the others present, their keen ears naturally heard the shocking news.
After a glance at each other, the group of teachers who became interested put their purpose of selecting their personal apprentice aside.
Instead, they began to focus on David Jones’s every move, as if trying to see what was unique about this young man that allowed him to win Director
Hoyle’s favor.
In the distance, an exotic beast with a hard shell covering its back and a ferocious skull resembling a rabbit but with a bird’s beak, a pair of sharp eagle eyes below which were thick grayish-brown limbs, and at the front of its footpads were four sharp and spiked claws, stared at the sudden appearance of the human.
As David Jones gazed at the alert exotic beast not far away, a pale golden glow flashed through his eyes.
“Pet Name: Rock Beast
“Pet Type: Earth
“Species Level: Superior
“Grade: Upper Level II
“Species Skill: Rock Rush, Gravel Blow, Shatter” “The Rock Beast is a front-line tank-type earth attribute exotic beast with outstanding double resistance. Combined with its ability to resist fire attributes, it should not be instantly killed by Daphne under the same strength level,” David Jones stroked his chin and mused.
He couldn’t help it. Every earth attribute exotic beast he encountered in this first layer of the Labyrinth was instantly killed by Daphne, providing no practical experience.
Finally, he found a Superior and attribute-advantaged exotic beast. He hoped this ancient Rock Beast would not disappoint him..
