's evaluation of breaking the rules: This summoned beast is quite cute!

Upon hearing the examiner call out his name, Lin Mian slowly walked out of the crowd.

The young man was handsome, with gentle features and a calm and composed expression, showing no sign of nervousness.

All eyes turned to him in an instant.

Everyone knows that Lin Mian is the only one left on the field who can compete with Mo Fan for the top spot in the entire school.

Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, Zhou Min, and others who were originally highly competitive have all been completely crushed by Mo Fan.

Everyone was curious whether Lin Mian, who was known as a genius, could surpass Mo Fan, the biggest dark horse.

You have to understand that Mo Fan got full marks in all the assessments, so you can imagine how difficult it would be to overcome this obstacle!

Mu Ningxue, standing to the side, gazed intently, a ripple of emotion stirring within her heart beneath her cool and flawless countenance.

Her gaze was fixed on that tall, upright figure, her slender fingers unconsciously tightening slightly, a hint of anticipation rising in her heart.

Among the crowd, Mu He, the Grand Steward of Hujin, subtly scrutinized Lin Mian with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

The Earthly Sacred Spring is of great importance. Two years later, Yu Ang will compete with the strongest person in the school for the qualification to cultivate in the Earthly Sacred Spring.

Mo Fan's strength posed no threat to Yu Ang.

But Lin Mian is different.

A peerless genius who awakens his own summoning abilities; if the opponent's strength surpasses that of Yu'ang.

Without a doubt, this will become the biggest obstacle in the Black Vatican's plans.

Now that the Inquisition has dispatched personnel to Bo City, some clues have been leaked about the demonic passages laid by the Black Vatican.

The ownership of the Earthly Sacred Spring must not be subject to any change!

In the arena, Lin Mian slowly walked to the Star Sensing Stone, which was used to detect magical energy.

Even though he noticed Mu He's scrutinizing gaze, he remained calm and slowly placed his palm lightly on the stone surface.

Lin Mian planned to deliberately restrain his power, intending to use only one-third of his magical energy to complete the test.

"Buzz~~~~~!!!"

The buzzing vibration suddenly rose, and a clear, bright moon-white halo rippled outwards from the surface of the star-sensing stone, its radiance dazzling and lustrous, as if the moon had fallen to earth.

The gentle power, imbued with an extremely strong underlying impact, far surpassed the crimson luster that Mo Fan had just unleashed.

The vast playground instantly fell into a deathly silence.

The two examiners in charge of the assessment suddenly narrowed their pupils, looked at each other, and their faces were filled with disbelief.

After a brief, hushed discussion, the examiner, his voice filled with shock, announced loudly:

"Lin Mian, Magic Power Rating: S+!"

These three simple words resounded like thunder across the playground.

All conversations and discussions among the crowd ceased instantly, and the noise vanished without a trace.

"S+? Did I hear that right? Isn't S the highest rating in the evaluation?"

"So, his magical energy reserves have already surpassed the established highest standard, completely outclassing Mo Fan?"

"My God! Mo Fan's S-rank was already astonishing, but Lin Mian has actually achieved an unprecedented rating!"

Zhang Xiaohou's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment, and he muttered subconsciously, "Brother Fan, Brother Mian, this...is just too outrageous!"

"You'll get used to it." Mo Fan patted Zhang Xiaohou's shoulder lightly.

He was aware of Lin Mian's extraordinary abilities, but he couldn't help feeling curious.

I have now reached the second level of the initial stage in both the lightning and fire elements.

Can it beat an unevolved Mika?

"Lin Mian is an exceptionally talented child, quite remarkable, isn't he, Ning Xue?"

Mu Zhuoyun turned her head to look at her daughter beside her, her tone filled with appreciation.

"It's a pity that I rejected the offer from the Imperial Academy back then. If I had gone to the Imperial Academy to cultivate, the resources would have been abundant, and I could have looked after you."

At this moment, Mu Zhuoyun had developed a strong appreciation for talent.

If Lin Mian could be brought under the Mu family's wing and carefully nurtured, he would surely become a top-tier mage.

This will elevate the status and prestige of the Mu family in Bocheng.

Mu Ningxue nodded slightly, her clear eyes fixed on the boy in front of her.

When they learned that Lin Mian had awakened a rare summoning ability on his own, even the Imperial Capital Academy extended an olive branch to him.

She was overjoyed and eagerly anticipated attending the same university as him.

But Lin Mian ultimately refused for some reason, and at that time, she felt a sense of loss and sorrow.

But now that he has witnessed the other party still possessing this level of cultivation, he has no more concerns.

Even though Bo City was resource-poor, Lin Mian never stopped striving to become stronger.

On the other side, Mu He, who had been calm, suddenly frowned, and a deep sense of unease flashed in his eyes.

S+ level magic power!

This has far surpassed Yu'ang's current level!

He had previously regarded Lin Mian as an insignificant ant, believing that the other party could not shake the Black Vatican's plan.

But Lin Mian's talent is now making him wary.

However, upon further reflection, the strength of a summoning mage ultimately depends on their summoned beasts.

If Lin Mian's summoned beasts are indeed terrifying in combat power.

Even though the Mu family patriarch valued him and his young mistress was infatuated with him, he still had to deal with Lin Mian for the sake of the Black Church.

During the event, Lin Mian remained calm and composed, as this unprecedented rating was utterly insignificant to him.

He had deliberately restrained most of his power, but unfortunately, he was born with a common element.

The examiner calmed himself down and offered a verbal reminder.

"Next, the magic casting assessment!"

Lin Mian nodded slightly, his clear eyes calm and undisturbed.

Minds and spirits converge, connecting the stars.

It took two and a half seconds for the star trails to take shape instantly.

"Dimensional Summoning".

As the deep, cool voice fell, subtle ripples spread through the surrounding air.

A thin, delicate ripple spread out in front of her, and a dimensional gate that was not particularly dazzling or dark slowly appeared.

All eyes turned to him again, and everyone speculated about the genius who possessed S+ magic power.

The summoned creature must be a large, ferocious, and powerful beast, right?

However, the next scene completely overturned everyone's expectations.

A petite and delicate young figure leaped lightly out of the dimensional rift.

It is entirely orange-red, with soft and fluffy fur, a petite figure, long and lively ears, and big, round, innocent eyes.

It was Mika.

At this moment, it had already obeyed the command, and had completely contained its pure source of light, with only a trace of insignificant light flowing on its body surface.

They are cute and docile, appearing weak and unassuming, showing no signs of formidable fighting power whatsoever.

Mika nestled affectionately on Lin Mian's shoulder, nuzzling his neck with its little head.

Its every move was immature and agile, lacking any of the intimidating power a summoned beast should have.

"Isn't this the pet Lin Mian brought with him on the first day of school? So it's his summoned beast? It's so small, it doesn't look strong at all."

"It looks cute, but its aura is unremarkable. There were rumors that Zhao Kunsan was seriously injured by it, but now it seems that this was mostly a rumor."

"What good is abundant magical power? Summoning mages ultimately rely on their summoned beasts. If the summoned beasts are weak, even the strongest foundation is meaningless."

A chorus of voices rose and fell, and everyone felt a huge sense of disappointment.

I thought that a summoned beast that could match S+ magic power must be a top-tier, powerful one.

In the end, it turned out to be just a cute-looking but ordinary little guy.

What a pity, what a pity!

Hearing the prejudiced remarks of the people around them, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou subconsciously exchanged a glance.

Zhang Xiaohou knew that Mika was not as simple as she appeared.

Mo Fan almost couldn't help but laugh.

They don't know.

Mika doesn't suffer from the drawback of evolutionary stagnation, which makes him invincible!

The examiner observed carefully for a moment, then looked at Mika on Lin Mian's shoulder and announced loudly:

"Swiftly connecting the star trails, the dimensional gate is secure! Magic casting rating—S!"

Even though Mika looks young and weak, summoned beasts can grow.

It deserves a perfect score.

With that, the assessment results are now finalized.

Mo Fan achieved a perfect S in both assessments, while Lin Mian received an S+ rating in magic power and an S rating in magic release.

The result clearly shows the difference in quality.

Lin Mian narrowly surpassed Mo Fan to claim first place.

Although Lin Mian was in first place, everyone else's thoughts had changed.
