Chapter 471 - 268: Zhong Yi’s Creator Level

Chapter 471: Chapter 268: Zhong Yi’s Creator Level

Now that Zhong Yi had completed the assessment, he was technically a Creator.

As fellow Creators, their statuses were equivalent.

This was why Zhong Yi didn’t bother being overly polite.

"What, does everyone who completes the assessment have to endure a lecture from the examiner?"

"I read the rules for the Creator assessment before I took it."

"Anyone can retake the Creator assessment after a certain period, as long as they pay the Divine Origin Value themselves."

"Even if I had failed the assessment this time, what gives you the right to blacklist me from the Wanyu Creation Company and strip me of the chance to take it again?"

"Are the Wanyu Creation Company’s rules so flexible that you can change them whenever you please?"

Miao Kang never imagined that this youth, whose strength was only at the Second Level, would actually dare to talk back.

In front of He Yan, Miao Kang adopted an extremely subservient posture.

But in front of others, especially non-Creators, Miao Kang was always incredibly arrogant.

A First Level Creator, even a Low Tier one, had the right to be arrogant on the Virtual Source Network.

Zhong Yi’s words made Miao Kang’s face flush red with anger, and he was almost instantly seeing red.

He was just about to berate Zhong Yi and expose that his strength was only at the Second Level.

In Miao Kang’s opinion, a Second Level punk taking the Creator assessment was a complete joke.

He Yan was so exasperated by Zhong Yi’s words that he almost laughed.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the young man before him take out a verdant green envelope.

This envelope not only contained the assessment question but was also a piece of Space Equipment usable on the Virtual Source Network.

The young man opened the envelope, and the assessment question, along with a cage containing a snake-type Guardian Beast, appeared on the table.

After He Yan saw the figure of the snake-type Guardian Beast, interwoven with electric blue and lake green colors, the words he was about to say were immediately choked back.

He snatched up the card that recorded the assessment question with lightning speed.

Miao Kang, blinded by his anger, hadn’t noticed the snake-type Guardian Beast that Zhong Yi had produced.

He said in an angry tone:

"You little..."

Before Miao Kang could finish his sentence, he heard He Yan turn and snap at him, "Shut up."

Miao Kang quickly bit back the rest of his words.

While wondering about He Yan’s change in attitude, he too noticed the serpentine creature in the iron cage.

With a brief scan, Miao Kang could sense the Law Snake Bloodline contained within the serpentine creature.

’Making a Third Level snake-type Guardian Beast awaken the Law Snake Bloodline... that shouldn’t be part of a First Level Creator assessment, right!?’

The snake-type Guardian Beast with the Law Snake Bloodline inside the iron cage had come out of that envelope.

The envelope containing the question could only hold a creature that was also part of the question.

"Can I pass the Creator certification now?"

As he said this, Zhong Yi felt utterly exhausted.

Traveling between worlds using the Realm Passage Token was just too draining on his Soul Energy.

"You cultivated this Law Snake from a Cangluo Scale Snake?"

The old man before him, who had just been looking at him like a piece of worthless meat, was now staring at Zhong Yi with utter shock in his eyes.

Zhong Yi heard him and nodded.

"That’s right. The question required me to evolve the Cangluo Scale Snake along its serpentine Bloodline."

"I had the Cangluo Scale Snake undergo two leaps in its serpentine Bloodline."

"Although I exceeded the requirements, that should still count as completing the assessment, right?"

Zhong Yi was actually afraid the old man would be a stickler for the rules and give him a hard time.

’Wouldn’t that mean I’d have to convert the materials I obtained during the assessment back into Divine Origin Value and pay the original price?’

Right now, Zhong Yi didn’t have a single point of Divine Origin Value to his name.

Hearing Zhong Yi’s words, He Yan hurriedly said:

"Of course it counts, hahaha."

"With your ability, you should have been able to take the Creator assessment long ago. Why did you wait until now?"

"You were able to suppress the Dragon Bloodline within the Cangluo Scale Snake in such a short time and evolve it into a Law Snake."

"I imagine that demonstrates a skill level of at least a First Level Peak, or even a Second Level Creator."

"This old man will personally take you to get your Creator identity certified."

After finishing his words to Zhong Yi, He Yan gave an order to Miao Kang and the others.

He planned to take Zhong Yi to complete his Creator certification, then go prepare for the Creation Martial Arts Demonstration in a few days.

Hearing the old man’s words, Zhong Yi’s expression faltered for a moment.

The old man before him had said that by using the Soul Taming Seed Contract on this Cangluo Scale Snake and evolving the Cangluo Scale Snake into a Spiritual Cang Law Snake, he had demonstrated the skill of a First Level Peak or even a Second Level Creator.

When Zhong Yi used the Soul Taming Seed Contract on the Cangluo Scale Snake, he had focused more on using the Energy from the Soul Taming Seed to reshape the Cangluo Scale Snake’s Origin.

He hadn’t used all the Energy of the Soul Taming Seed to help the Cangluo Scale Snake break through its Bloodline.

If Zhong Yi had used enough Flowing Soul Soil to cultivate the Cangluo Scale Snake, its Bloodline might have advanced even further in a short time.

’According to the old man’s judgment, I must be at least a Second Level Creator.’

This gave Zhong Yi a clear understanding of his own abilities as a Creator.

Soon, under He Yan’s guidance, Zhong Yi completed the certification for a Second Level Creator.

He became a Creator officially registered with the Wanyu Creation Company.

However, since he had just become a Creator, he couldn’t undergo a Level certification.

He would have to wait three years before he could get his Creator Level certified.

This meant that for now, Zhong Yi was only a First Level Low Tier Creator.

Along the way, He Yan’s attitude toward Zhong Yi had undergone a complete transformation.

He Yan was now extremely enthusiastic towards Zhong Yi.

It was as if someone who was used to being on a level no one else could understand had suddenly found a kindred spirit.

During the Creator identity certification, He Yan took the initiative to ask to add Zhong Yi as a friend.

After the two added each other as friends via their Soul Fighting Bracelets, He Yan was surprised to discover that the young man before him actually possessed a Second Level Secret Realm Monopolizer Badge.

’Not only is his Talent as a Creator so formidable, but his strength is also at the Peak among his peers.’

He Yan mulled over his words for a long while before cautiously saying to Zhong Yi:

"Focusing your mind on improving your strength as a Creator is more important for you than improving your personal strength."

"As a Creator, you just need to stay safely in the rear."

"With the methods of a Creator, your personal strength certainly won’t be lacking either."

"It’s much safer than fighting and struggling outside the Ecological Realm."

"On the battlefields outside the Realm, several Divine Fire Tier experts fall every year."

"Even instances of Divine Kingdom Tier experts falling are not unheard of."

These words from He Yan were a complete reflection of his truest thoughts and his own life’s story.

After becoming a Creator, He Yan had never once left the Ecological Realm.

He only stayed in the rear, producing Elixir Pills refined with his Bloodline Fire.

Even without leaving the Ecological Realm, as long as he wanted materials from outside the Realm, powerful experts would always be scrambling to deliver them to his hands.

In addition, the status of a Creator was transcendent.

Even an Eighth Level Divine Kingdom Tier expert would have to bow their head slightly to a Second Level Creator.

This made He Yan feel more and more that spending limited energy on improving one’s personal strength was not very useful.

Zhong Yi heard this and knew He Yan meant well, so he didn’t refute him.

But Zhong Yi himself did not want to be just a producer who steadily churned out Potions in the rear.

In Zhong Yi’s heart, improving his own strength was far more important than putting all his effort into improving his Creator skills.

Just as Zhong Yi had always admired Tao En’s attitude towards improving his strength.

Besides, Zhong Yi’s abilities as a Creator came entirely from the Soul-Controlling Flower that was his companion.

Zhong Yi only needed to let the Soul-Controlling Flower continue to steadily absorb Life and Soul Energy.

When it came to improving his Creator abilities, Zhong Yi couldn’t put much thought into it even if he wanted to.

"Elder He, I’ve used the Realm Passage Token twice in a row."

"I’m really tired, so I’ll be leaving the Virtual Source Network now."

Knowing that Zhong Yi’s strength was only at the Second Level, He Yan was well aware of the burden on one’s soul from using a Realm Passage Token twice within a dozen or so hours.

"Go and rest."

"But before that, I have something to tell you."
