Introduction: A rare ice-element life form born deep underground after absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. Perhaps due to the lack of ice elements, it was born with deficiencies. Originally, its monarch-level potential had degenerated to the beast king level, but it still had extremely strong potential and battle power. It is an extremely precious beast!

"Commander level 2, the potential of the Ice Crystal Spirit is indeed deep. It just advanced to commander level 2 but it has already awakened a powerful skill!"

Mu Xuan was very satisfied with this advancement. A commander level 2 Ice Crystal Spirit was enough to defeat an ordinary commander level 5 beast!

Right on the heels of that, Mu Xuan felt a cold power surge into his body, rapidly increasing the strength of his body. His internal organs, eight extraordinary meridians, and limbs were quickly becoming stronger under the nourishment of this power.

After a long time, everything returned to calm, but Mu Xuan felt something different. The colors of the entire world had become clearer. The air was filled with various auras, and he heard the conversation from the tenants living on the floors above and below him…

Early in the morning, Mu Xuan arrived at the school. He wanted to apply for a cultivation method from the school.

In order to prevent ordinary people from cultivating rashly, the main residence confiscated various cultivation methods circulated among ordinary folk and prohibited them from being circulated. It also stipulated that only commander-level beast tamers could cultivate these cultivation methods.

Now that Mu Xuan's Ice Crystal Spirit had reached the commander level and he officially became a commander level beast tamer, he naturally had the right to choose cultivation methods.

"Brother Xuan, why do I feel that you've changed today?" Chen Kang looked at Mu Xuan and suddenly said, "I see many girls peeping at you!"

Mu Xuan smiled. "Don't they always?"

"…" Chen Kang was immediately speechless and couldn't refute. Ever since Mu Xuan contracted the Ice Crystal Spirit, he had become a popular figure in the entire Ninth High School. Countless girls sent snacks, breakfast, flowers, and love letters every day. As for peeping, there were countless girls doing that.

Even when Chen Kang came to school every day, the first thing he had to do was to clean up the pile of love letters on Mu Xuan's seat…

However, Chen Kang still felt that Mu Xuan was a little different from usual today. He had become even more handsome.

Mu Xuan knew that this was the change after his body reached the elite level.

Mu Xuan smiled and took advantage of the half an hour break between classes to go to Lin Susu's office.

"What, you've already become a commander-level beast tamer and achieved elite-level physical fitness? So fast?!" Lin Susu was a little surprised. She graduated from the Beast Taming Department of the Normal University of Zhe Dong Province, so her strength naturally wouldn't be too bad. She was already at commander level 8 at a young age.

She naturally thought very highly of Mu Xuan, a student who had contracted an elemental life form, but she still didn't expect that he would actually advance to commander level in less than a month!

Such talent was simply terrifying!

In the principal's office, Lin Xuanye frowned. He had already heard that commander-level students were appearing in the other eight middle schools in Golden Flower City. As the principal, he was naturally pressured!

After all, in half a month, it would be the field combat assessment of the nine schools. If they couldn't produce a commander-level student, the Ninth High School would probably really become a joke.

Lin Xuanye subconsciously pulled out the key attention list of Ninth High School and looked at the students who could break through in a short period of time.

His gaze finally landed on the name Mu Xuan. He sighed to himself and said, "He appeared too late. If he had appeared a month earlier, I would have pushed him to commander level even if I had to spend a bunch of resources on him!

"I wonder if Zhou Qingyao's Moonlight Butterfly has advanced. With the Zhou family's strength, they should have a way to get a small advancement resource, right?!

Zhou Qingyao, the top student of Year Three, Class 2, was also the student that the Ninth High School focused most on. Her beast, the Moonlight Butterfly, had a high-level overlord bloodline and an outstanding quality. Logically speaking, it was not a problem for it to advance to commander level.

However, because of the advancement resources, Zhou Qingyao's Moonlight Butterfly was stuck at elite level 9 and couldn't break through. It made people sigh.

Every place had its own characteristics. For example, the resources produced by Golden Flower City were mostly of the water, fire, earth, and life elements. The resources of the moonlight element could be counted on one hand.

Lin Xuanye had also asked around. In the entire Dragon Country, there were pitifully few Moonlight-element resources. They were completely in a priceless state, as if there was a mastermind controlling them from behind the scenes.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded outside the office. "Grandpa, I have good news for you. Do you want to hear it?"

Lin Xuanye put away his worries and smiled faintly. "What good news? Could it be that you found my grandson-in-law?!"

"Grandpa…" Lin Susu was instantly unhappy. He really touched a sore spot. She didn't want to get married so early!

"Grandpa, it's Mu Xuan. His beast has advanced to the commander level!" Lin Susu brought Mu Xuan into the principal's office and said with an unhappy expression.

"What, Mu Xuan's Beast Taming advanced? How can it be so fast?!" Lin Xuanye was shocked.

Mu Xuan chuckled and said, "The advancement of elemental life forms is very fast. It just needs to constantly absorb energy." As he spoke, Mu Xuan summoned the Ice Crystal Spirit. The commander level aura stunned Lin Xuanye, and then he suddenly laughed out loud.

"It's indeed a commander-level elemental life form! I'll definitely get first place in the nine schools' assessment this time. Hahahaha!"

"What nine school assessment?" Mu Xuan was confused.

Lin Susu shrugged and said, "It's the first joint combat assessment of the nine schools arranged by the Beast Taming Bureau. All nine middle schools in Golden Flower City are required to participate. The top ten have rewards, and the first place can even choose an item from the treasure vault of the City Lord Manor!

"Then my grandfather heard that commander-level beast tamers have appeared in all eight middle schools. Our Ninth High School is the only one that doesn't have one. He was so angry that he didn't eat for a day!"

"Fortunately, your beast broke through and didn't embarrass our Ninth High School."

"The treasure vault of the City Lord Manor?!" Mu Xuan's eyes immediately lit up with interest. If he could even find a Dragon Blood Stone in the small Ninth Middle School's Treasure Vault, there must be a lot of precious resources in the treasure vault of the City Lord Manor.

Lin Xuanye put away his excited mood and smiled at Mu Xuan. "Student Mu Xuan, you've surprised me again! Coincidentally, I have a commander-level Ice Spirit Shrimp Heart here. I'll give it to you for you to strive to get first place in the joint examination of the nine schools in half a month!"

Mu Xuan was stunned. Then, he took the Ice Spirit Shrimp Heart in surprise. The heart of this commander-level ice-element demon beast was very beneficial to the Ice Crystal Spirit. "Thank you for the gift, Principal. Mu Xuan will definitely do his best to obtain first place and raise the reputation of our Ninth High School!"

"Alright, alright, alright, I'll look forward to it!"

Then, Lin Susu brought Mu Xuan to the school's armory and let him choose a cultivation technique.

There were only three cultivation methods provided by Ninth High School. They were the "Changchun Art" that focused on extending one's lifespan, the "Immovable King Body" that focused on increasing the body, and the "Spirit Tempering Body Art" that focused on cultivating the spirit.

Under Lin Susu's suggestion, Mu Xuan chose the Spirit Tempering Body Art. According to Lin Susu, the Spirit Tempering Body Art could increase mental acuity and allow him to sense danger in advance and awaken the legendary Alaya Consciousness!

That night, Mu Xuan officially began to cultivate the Spirit Tempering Body Art. As expected, he felt that the void was filled with active spiritual energy. It was abnormally difficult to absorb them into his body, and there were still waves of pain in his meridians…

"No wonder cultivation methods can only be cultivated when the physique reaches the elite level. This is too uncomfortable!" Mu Xuan complained. However, he immediately realized that his mental strength seemed to have condensed a little. If it weren't for the fact that his mental strength was strong, he really wouldn't have been able to feel it.

The next day, Mu Xuan arrived at the school and discovered that the school had announced the news of the nine schools' joint field combat assessment. All beast tamers above the elite level had to participate. Immediately, more than half of the people in Grade 12 Class 1 were looking forward to obtaining a good result.

On the other hand, nearly half of the students who didn't reach the elite level were quite disappointed…

Two days later, the Ice Crystal Spirit successfully digested the commander level Ice Spirit Shrimp heart and reached commander level 3, its strength increasing further.

"Now that it has reached the commander level, it's time to bring the Ice Crystal Spirit to battle!" Mu Xuan whispered. "I can go to the South Mountain Mystic Realm to find that spatial beast."
