The next night, Auric and Maya helped another person once again. Finally, Auric received the chaos element he wanted.

Originally, he wanted to take a look at their battle techniques, but Auric chose not to do it for the time being.

He had to focus on getting used to his new sensitivity. This was the only method that could allow him to defeat someone with the absolute fire element.

Unfortunately, because Auric helped him use the gathering technique, the person with the chaos element didn’t evolve immediately. Instead, he returned later, just like Robert, eager to evolve.

Considering he possessed a Grade S affinity, and he was one year older, his desperation should be even higher. So, Auric could understand and didn’t plan to focus on those two.

Instead, Auric was preparing for the silver-grade evolution master examination. Even though he felt confident, Auric remained careful. He reviewed everything he needed to pass the exam before going to the Evolution Association together with Maya.

"So, this is the exam." Maya smirked. They were inside a small auditorium.

The president arrived with a gold-grade evolution master. The gold-grade evolution master was only in his late thirties. His eyes were quite fierce, making Auric feel a bit of hostility coming from him.

The president said, "In any case, I’m not going to let you pass if you’re incompetent, no matter who helps you."

"Isn’t that better? Knowing that you’re a person of integrity, people can’t say my student is cheating on the test because of me." Maya shrugged.

The president couldn’t really refute her words. The only thing that mattered was Auric’s skills.

"All right then." The president extended his hand. "Please sit down on the chair over there."

Auric nodded and calmly took his seat. The gold-grade evolution master walked up to him and handed over a few papers. "This is the written test. When you became a bronze-grade evolution master, you probably only received a test to figure out the ingredients. But now that you are a silver-grade evolution master, the written test will cover everything."

"Hmm?" Auric looked at the test papers. As he said, it covered everything from the materials to the treatment. He could even see multiple cases being discussed here.

Still, for someone like Auric, who had treated over a thousand patients ever since he had become an evolution master, this kind of test was a pretty simple one.

As they became evolution masters, they began to learn how to treat people. They studied under a mentor, so a silver-grade evolution master should know all these things.

However, they didn’t just cover the problems that could be solved by a bronze-grade evolution master. They also included those above it.

Nevertheless, Auric had studied all the materials. Lindwurm had also taught him all the advanced techniques.

So, Auric finished the test quickly and handed the paper to the examiner. "I’m done."

"So fast?" The president frowned. Auric shouldn’t scribble something random since he must not want to embarrass his teacher, but he didn’t expect it to be this fast either.

The test was supposed to last for two hours, but Auric finished it in thirty minutes. He might be able to finish faster if he could write faster.

Confused, the president came to check the answers as well.

There was nothing wrong with the answers regarding the evolution materials. He couldn’t even comment on that.

However, he was slightly surprised when Auric wrote down many advanced techniques.

The president couldn’t help but ask, "I have a question."

"Yes?" Auric tilted his head in confusion.

"Why did you pick a very rare Extreme Bridge Management when treating a patient who has an accumulation of energy in their chest? What you should do is to use the energy from a beast essence to flush out the accumulation of energy."

Auric shook his head. "No. The excess energy is only 4%. It will be too wasteful if we use the energy from the essence to wipe out that energy. On the other hand, Extreme Bridge Management is a technique that is usually used for limiting the exchange between two extreme elements.

"However, if we tweak the Extreme Bridge Management a little bit, we can isolate this energy from the main one. Then, we can insert our own energy to eliminate that accumulation before opening the seal and letting the person evolve."

The president frowned. "Yes, but that requires good skills from the evolution master."

"Isn’t that what an evolution master needs to strive toward? They need to hone their skills."

"Can you even do that?"

"I can."

The president felt a bit suspicious, but Maya added, "When he became an evolution master, he actually used the Extreme Bridge Management to pass the test. There was also another technique, right? Dual... Dual Cultivation Method?"

"Dual Fusion Method."

"What?" The president was baffled this time. The Dual Fusion Method was even rarer. It required not only skill but also a high degree of sensitivity. Maya was saying that Auric could do all that. It was simply unbelievable.

There was only one way to prove it. They should continue to the next test.

"Hmm..." The president looked at the answer first. All Auric’s answers sounded reasonable, especially if he assumed that Auric could do all this. It was as if he were writing the answers based on his experience.

If that were the case, Auric was more than qualified to become a silver-grade evolution master.

"Let’s continue to the next test."

"Sir?" The gold-grade evolution master was slightly surprised. However, the president waved his hand, asking him to trust his decision.

The gold-grade evolution master sighed and nodded. Although he couldn’t believe everything, he still brought the five people who were supposed to help with the test.

"In front of you are five people who will help you with the test. I want you to first assess them, both their element ratings and their conditions. Then, I want you to provide a solution.

"Of course, three of them possess the lightning element for the normal element, the variant, and the extreme variant. The other two possess different elements. You need to solve their problems using materials."

Normally, he would require a person to help five people each, but that was picked from fifty to a hundred people. And among them, not all of them were trying to evolve their avatars to the adult form. Some were still in the baby form, trying to reach the juvenile form.

For this test, he made it so that all the people would evolve their avatars to the adult form. It served its purpose, ensuring that Auric was more than skilled enough to handle such a thing despite his age.

Auric nodded. "Sure."

"All right then. Let’s begin. First person, please come forward. Release your avatar and energy."

The first person was a man in his mid twenties. He might not hail from a famous university, but he managed to reach this stage at this age, showing that he had enough talent to achieve a lot of things.

"Amazing. You have a wind element with a rating of 3.7, an extreme variant. It looks like you have excess energy of about 5%. It’s not high, but for an extreme variant, it will be quite challenging to handle.

"However, this excess energy might not be the real danger for you. Instead..." Auric walked toward him before bending his knees, looking at the right side of his body. "Have you been injured before? It looks like there’s an accumulation of the earth-element energy in your body.

"Judging from the shape, it seems to be an injury caused by claws."

"W-What?" The president and the gold-grade evolution master were quite surprised. They knew the man had a condition, but that only happened because this man told them about it.

It was a standard procedure to ask if they had been injured before, which allowed them to check directly with their own power whether the enemy’s energy remained in the patient’s body.

However, Auric could actually identify it without even asking. He even knew the cause.

"How did you know..." The man gasped.

Auric just smiled. "Anyway, it’s not really hard to remove it. I may be testing for the lightning evolution master right now, but should I use a beast essence to treat the injury or should I just use my own power?"

"..." The president was momentarily speechless. Auric had three elements. In a way, there was nothing he couldn’t treat among the six basic elements. Auric couldn’t be measured by common sense. When people needed beast essence to treat this patient, Auric could simply solve everything with his three elements.

The president nodded. "You may proceed as you wish. However, I still need to have you treat one person with a herb."

"Don’t worry." Auric pointed to the fourth person. "This lady’s excess lightning element can be treated by the Solution Salmon. Her energy is already perfect, so I just have to remove the excess energy on her left thigh, and she will be able to evolve even without me helping her directly."

"!!!" The president widened his eyes in shock. He hurriedly turned to the gold-grade evolution master, wondering if he had told Auric about all this before.

The evolution master furiously shook his head, so the president turned to Maya.

Maya shrugged. "This is a normal occurrence in his store. That’s just how high his sensitivity is."

Of course, Auric could only do this after his evolution. Before, he needed to ask the person to show their energy before he was able to identify it. But with his eyes being able to see through the energy movement in another person’s body, Auric could see their problem before they even told him about it.

The five people were confused, but judging from the president’s reaction, it looked like Auric had guessed it correctly.

In other words, Auric was more than skilled enough to treat them.

Auric turned to the president and asked, "Well, I need to confirm this, but do you want me to treat him right away or do it from the one with the normal lightning element?"

The president smiled wryly. On the one hand, it was only right for Auric to begin from the bottom. On the other hand, Auric might be more than skilled enough to actually take care of the extreme lightning element.

Nonetheless, the president said, "Yes. You need to start from the beginning. You’re supposed to assess them all first before you start treating them."

"I see." Auric nodded. He just followed the president’s instructions and assessed them first, which took less than three minutes.

He was more curious about what would happen when someone evolved. He wanted to see how the energy moved.

Now that the assessment was done, Auric could finally begin.

"Hello, Mr. Max. I will be treating you first." Auric smiled.

"Y-Yes." Max was a bit nervous, not because he doubted Auric’s abilities, but because he felt a bit overwhelmed by his superior skills.

"Haha. Relax." Auric chuckled. "All right. Let’s begin, shall we?"

Auric first placed his hand on Max’s back before channeling his element to suppress the excess energy.

Once he reached 100%, Auric stepped back before saying, "All right. You’re ready to go."

Max was a bit surprised that Auric didn’t even bother asking him to start evolving. Instead, he solved the problem before the evolution even began.

Max couldn’t help but check the information in his bracelet first. Once he confirmed his element had reached the perfect number, he began concentrating.

Auric observed Max carefully, specifically observing the energy flowing within his body.

’There is one big difference for an avatar that evolves to the adult form. If they evolve to the juvenile form, their energy intensity increases fivefold. However, an adult-form avatar is said to enhance the five senses of that person. So, their movement might be different,’ Auric muttered inwardly.

Lindwurm added, "That’s right. You can call it their senses, but if you have to explain it in one word, it will be ’Integration.’ The element is integrating with the body, which results in heightened senses. This is not limited to the five senses, of course. It includes the sense of the elemental energy in your body. You will be able to feel them more clearly, making your control smoother."

’Well, I’m more curious about the movement. This might be a clue that I need for the artificial heart.’ Auric smiled.

As Max started his evolution, the energy began circulating even more aggressively.

Auric couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. ’This...’
