There are numerous Beastmaster schools, big and small, within the Flowery Kingdom, but only a few are familiar to Beastmasters.
The most renowned are the โFive Greats and Eight Academiesโ that people often talk about with great interest.
The term โFive Greats and Eight Academiesโ refers to the thirteen most famous Beastmaster Universities in the Flowery Kingdom.
These are the dream universities for every Beastmaster within the Flowery Kingdom.
The Five Greats are Peony College, Rosewood College, Glazewater College, Phoenix College, and Blunt College.
The Eight Academies are Thundurus Academy, Snowfall Academy, Wind Academy, Aurora Academy, Crystal Academy, Dragonsoar Academy, Star Moon Academy, and World Academy.
Of course, if you had to compare the overall strength of these prestigious institutions, the authority of the Five Greats far surpasses the Eight Academies. ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ต.๐๐ธ๐
According to the national Beastmaster University rankings previously published by the Flowery Kingdom.
Peony College, one of the Five Greats, is traditionally ranked first. The college is located in the capital of the Flowery Kingdom.
This university is most famous for its Blacksmith Department. Most of the outstanding senior blacksmiths and high-tech research talents stem from this college.
Ranked second is Rosewood College, a university that David Jones could not forget.
This universityโs Pharmacy Department is renowned nationwide, considering itself superior, and is also viewed as a holy land by all pharmacists in the country.
As for the universities that follow in the rankings at third, fourth, and fifth place, the remaining three colleges compete for these fiercely.
The competition between them is so intense that the college ranked third changes annually.
This year, the nationwide Beastmaster University ranked sixth is World Academy, one of the eight major colleges.
This college is also famous for its Pharmacy Department nationwide, but compared to Rosewood College, it still falls short.
However, among the Eight Academies, World Academy is the leading presence and the top-ranking academy, always aspiring to become the sixth great university in the Flowery Kingdom.
Next year, David Jonesโs first-choice university for the Beastmasterโs Examination will be Rosewood College, with World Academy being his second choice.
According to what David Jones knows, Thundurus Academyโs overall ranking in the Eight Academies is in the middle range, ranked ninth nationwide, and is a well-known university specializing in Electric Departments.
โThundurus Academy! Avery Nelly? Are you the top scorer in the Beastmaster Examination from Waterland City this year?โ David Jones exclaimed in surprise.
No wonder, when referee Oscar Summers introduced this person as a sparing partner, he thought heโd heard or seen the name Avery Nelly somewhere before.
It wasnโt until she mentioned Thundurus Academy that he recalled the hot news that aired on the Waterland City news channel a while ago. In the remotely located Waterland City, prospective students securing a place in the โFive Greats and Eight Academiesโ are extremely rare.
However, during the interview at that time, her appearance was not revealed, otherwise, with Avery Nellyโs beauty, figure, and strength, David Jones estimated the interview would have sparked a firestorm online.
โCalling me a top scorer is an exaggeration. I havenโt even fought with you, junior!โ
Avery Nelly spoke somewhat shyly.
She can easily accept praise from others for being able to get into a prestigious university like Thundurus Academy. After all, itโs not a small honor, so she can comfortably accept it.
But in Avery Nellyโs opinion, the person standing in front of her, David Jones, is an absolute anomaly. The title of the top scorer in Waterland Cityโs high school examination isnโt worth much in front of him.
Having been addressed in this way by David Jones, she becomes somewhat uneasy.
Moreover, I initially wanted to apply to Glazewater College, but unfortunately,
I couldnโt pass the test.โ Avery Nelly spoke, carrying a tinge of regret in her tone.
She had long been dreaming of Glazewater College, especially because her beloved idol, Viola Zachary, is studying at that university.
โTest? Can you tell me in detail about the Five Greatsโ examination?โ David Jones suddenly asked. The information on the internet about the test was all jumbled up, with real and fake information hard to distinguish.
David Jones lightly stroked Rainbowโs head with his right hand, his eyes fixed on Avery Nelly. There was a slight hint of eager anticipation on his seemingly calm face.
Oh, you want to listen? The Five Greatsโ tests change every year!โ
Avery Nelly suddenly snapped out of her reverie. She furrowed her brows, bit her rosy lips, and replied somewhat shyly.
โUh-huh, I also want to take the Five Greats exam next year, so I want to have
a general understanding of the examโs difficulty from you.โ
David Jones, looking at Avery Nellyโs beautiful profile, asked with a smile.
โIndeed, your strength is formidable, and you can definitely try for those five top-grade universities.โ Upon hearing David Jonesโ words, Avery Nelly nodded. The David Jones in front of her was indeed very strong.
There is still a year left before the next exam. If David Jones is now able to single-handedly beat her in a one-on-one pet battle and keeps training for the next year, he might really be able to get into the Five Greats, the place of her longing.
โI only know about this yearโs basic test for Glazewater College. Firstly, the requirement is that the Beastmasterโs Arcane Star must be Class II or above.โ Just as she began her explanation, Avery Nellyโs pupils contracted dramatically. She parted her lips as if she just realized something and stared at David Jones in amazement, full of surprise in her voice.
โIf Iโm not mistaken, the hue of your summoning Rune Circle was pale green
before the battle, meaning your Arcane Star is already at Class II!โ
Hearing Avery Nellyโs astonished voice, David Jones looked at her strangely.
You only just realized now? Your reaction time is a bit too slow!
David Jones, laughing, said: โYes, perhaps itโs because my Beastmaster Talent was awakened rather early, or maybe I just practice Calm Mind more often.โ โHmph, excessive humility is arrogance, keep it up and I might just hit you!โ Avery Nelly exclaims, her tone tinged with envy.
โI initially thought that your Coldjade Snake was very extraordinary but I never expected that your Beastmaster cultivation talent is even more extraordinary!โ She then added, โThe second requirement is: The purity of a Beastmasterโs Arcane Star must be high, at least 80%, and the use of elixirs should be minimal.โ
When Avery Nelly said this, she constantly observed David Jonesโ reactions from the corner of her eye.
She was worried that David Jones might have advanced through stages using the risky method of using elixirs, and in so doing, lose such a strong opponent. David Jones nodded in understanding.
Beastmasters can increase their Arcane Starโs cultivation speed by consuming elixirs, but this is only confined to Arcane Stars of Class III and above.
Because Arcane Stars of Class III and above possess purification abilities, they can somewhat eliminate the adverse effects of elixirs while under the Beastmasterโs control, maintaining the purity of their own Arcane Stars.
However, if Beastmasters use too much elixir when their Arcane Stars are between zero and Class II, their Arcane Stars will become tarnished and impure, making the following cultivation of the Arcane Star more difficult.
So, Beastmasters who are ambitious usually do not use elixirs aimed at Arcane Star cultivation when their Arcane Stars are below Class III.
That kind of elixir is only suitable for those Beastmasters with mediocre talents, those with Arcane Stars that have no hope of breakthrough and are attempting to make a desperate last stand.
The third test is a practical exam.โ Avery Nelly intentionally emphasized the word โexamโ and then heaved a slow sigh.
Then she looked at David Jones sympathetically, as if she felt pity for David
Jones who would be facing similar trials next year.
โWhat exactly is the practical exam at top-grade universities?โ
David Jones, who listened to Avery Nellyโs words, seemed to have felt her pity. He pursed his lips and asked with interest..
