Chapter 378 - 372: The Banquet Begins
Time flew by quickly, and in just ten days, there were only two days left before Grandmaster Hoyle’s promotion celebration.
As the time approached, the news that David Jones, the top new student of this year, was going to be accepted by Grandmaster Hoyle as a disciple spread hke wildfire.
Even though David had been immersed in cultivation lately, he could still feel the envious gazes of his classmates during breaks.
“Have you prepared your celebration gift yet?” Margaret Yule whispered softly.
Who in Rosewood College with an interest in Pharmacy wouldn’t know the name Lilith Hoyle, not to mention that Grandmaster Hoyle had recently broken through to the almost pinnacle level of Great Grandmaster in Pharmacy.
And such a pharmacist Great Grandmaster, whose status in the Pharmacy realm was unshakable, was going to officially accept David as his disciple, one could imagine how huge the impact would be.
In fact, no student had come forward to question David’s sudden rise to the ninth rank on the Purple Star List recently, because that would purely be provoking the eyes of a Great Grandmaster pharmacist in choosing a disciple.
Because of this, Margaret Yule had often seen students ranked high on the Rosewood List trying to strike up a conversation with David or attempting to build networking resources.
After all, who wouldn’t want to get along well with a disciple of a Great Grandmaster Pharmacist?
If one could be favored by Grandmaster Hoyle and accepted as a disciple through David, not only would one’s own worth skyrocket, but one could also gain access to Great Grandmaster-level pill resources that were almost impossible to encounter in the outside world.
Thinking of these benefits, even Margaret Yule, who was not very proficient in Pharmacy, was somewhat tempted.
“The gift is already prepared,” David nodded slightly.
There were so many things to handle after Master’s breakthrough that he hadn’t had a chance to see Master Hoyle for the second time until now.
“Are you interested in the banquet? I can probably get you into the venue without any problems.” David turned his head to look at Margaret.
The celebration was very grand, and trainers who could enter the banquet hall were either rich or noble, not to mention that even legendary powerful ones who were rarely seen by ordinary people might appear during the celebration.
With the invitation he had received from Audrey, he could invite a partner to attend the celebration.
Upon hearing this, Margaret’s eyes lit up instantly.
She knew that in order to obtain a precious chance to participate in Grandmaster Hoyle’s promotion celebration, Beast Taming families in Rosewood City had fought fiercely, and many wealthy people had offered high prices for the celebration invitations, even in exchange for King-class pet cubs, but still could not get a single invitation.
“Is this too valuable?” Margaret hesitated a bit, showing a delicate expression on her face.
The quota was too precious, and she was not daring to accept it for the moment. “Don’t think too much about it, it’s just a celebration. I can’t sell this quota, so it’ll be a waste if you don’t go!”
Once finished talking, David took back his palm that had been resting on Gluttonous Beast’s head, ending this unnoticed Dragon-Wielding strengthening.
Margaret pressed her lips together and then smiled faintly, revealing her sweet dimples.
“Well, I won’t be polite then!”
After chatting with Margaret, David looked at the skills dancing on Gluttonous Beast’s body, his face showing a satisfied smile.
[Skill]: Starfire Burning
[Proficiency]: Excellent
“Grade”: Class II middle-level
In just over ten days, the Gluttonous Beast had once again upgraded its strength by one level through Infinite Evolution and Self-Transformation, and had also elevated Starfire Burning, which it had learned from the Battle Angel, to the Excellent level.
It should be noted that at the Normal level of Starfire Burning, one can only simply cover their body or weapon with the power of stars, thereby gaining a two or three-fold increase in effect.
At the Great level of Starfire Burning, it not only allows the star power to become substantial like flame but also enables the amplification effect to be doubled.
As for the Excellent level of Starfire Burning, it can create something out of nothing, condensing fire into objects, directly condensing an indestructible starfire lightsaber or an astonishingly defensive armor.
As a Class VI King-level skill, it takes considerable time even for a king-level pet to master the entrance of a skill such as Starfire Burning. To practice it to the Excellent level would take more than a year of hard work.
However, the Gluttonous Beast only took more than ten days to practice, surpassing the year-long bitter training of ordinary pets. This terrifying growth rate can be said to have completely left behind those legendary pets with incredibly long Fresh-stage growth periods.
“Yi!”
Opening her eyes and seeing the ever-growing Gluttonous Beast, Rainbow felt a sense of urgency in her heart, and then closed her eyes to continue comprehending the profound Taikoo Black Dragon Zodiac Chart.
As for the Seven-Greedy Calm Mind that Rainbow had previously focused on, she voluntarily gave up on it after Chenwei obtained the Taikoo Black Dragon
Zodiac Chart.
This is because compared to the infinitely potential Taikoo Black Dragon Zodiac Chart the Seven-Greedy Calm Mind, which has a broken path and a large number of defects, is no longer suitable for being used as the main cultivation method.
However, the Taikoo Black Dragon Zodiac Chart also has one hard-to-ignore drawback – the lack of a meditation chart makes it tremendously difficult to practice!
Luckily, Rainbow could vaguely sense the star chart in Chenwei’s Origin Star Space through the Beast Taming Contract, otherwise it would be difficult for even talented people like her to learn this legendary meditation technique.
The Black Dragon Constellation meditation technique has seven levels. Even with the Taikoo Black Dragon Zodiac Chart in the sky of the Origin Star Space as a reference, Chenwei has only practiced it to the first level of entry.
As for Rainbow, because the star chart sensed through the Beast Taming Contract is faint and uncertain, her progress is also stuck at the same first level as Chenwei.
However, even so, the first level of the Black Dragon Zodiac Chart has already surpassed the effect of the Seven Greedy Calm Mind on Rainbow’s Psychic Power and soul, which she had mastered to the limit.
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Once you’ve evolved to your full potential, I believe that the Gluttonous Beast won’t be a match for you in the future!”
Seeing Rainbow’s somewhat troubled mood and not entering the cultivation state, Chenwei couldn’t help but reach out and pat her head.
Soon, it was November 1st, the day when Grandmaster Hoyle, Lilith of the Pharmacy realm, was celebrating her Level breakthrough.
As one of the rare Great Grandmasters in the Pharmacy realm, Lilith Hoyle has invited many familiar pharmacists to attend the banquet, including close friends and rivals.
In order to avoid accidents, Chenwei arrived at the venue ahead of time before the banquet started and presented his gift, a Class VI A-tier Rock arcane implement, the Earth Barrier.
This was a gift that Chenwei finally decided on after consulting with Audrey. After all, for a Trainer who has just entered Rosewood College, a Class VI King defense-type arcane implement is already an extremely valuable treasure, and it is more in line with his commoner background.
Although Chenwei does have higher level treasures, like the Class VIII Legendary arcane implement, the Meteorite Treasure Box, which he obtained from Seamus Coldwell’s Relic.
However, considering that it would be difficult for him to explain the specific source of this treasure, Chenwei eventually chose the Earth Barner as his gift.
