Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 285: Beast Master Test

There were a bunch of people gathered behind the student resident, in front of the giant forest that encircled the deserts of the Sun Empire.

Every one of these people looked relatively young, except for one of them wearing 4 different badges on their chest. That person was Ning.

Ning looked at the nearly 50 people that he was in charge of for this test and nodded.

"Alright, I hope all of you are here since we will be starting your tests now," Ning said. His Qi amplified his voice so that it reached every single one of the students standing there.

"You have a single task in this exam, and that is to tame a beast. You have to tame a beast that's in the Foundation Establishment realm at least," Ning said.

The students looked around at themselves, wondering why the task was so simple. Since they were in the Golden Core realm at least, it was impossible for them not to be able to tame beasts in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"There are 2 things you aren't allowed to do, however," Ning said. A few of the students smiled when they heard that; they had been waiting for this.

"First, you only have a single day to capture these beasts. You have to go, tame, and return with a wild beast all in a single day," Ning said.

"Second, you can only go as far as 3 kilometers in. Any further and you will be directly disqualified from the exam and thus fail. And unfortunately for you guys, I've scared away all the beast in a 5-kilometer radius," Ning said as he smiled.

"Your time starts now. Good Luck."

The information came too fast for the students.

"Wait, how are we supposed to tame any beasts if there aren't any?"

"Teacher, this is unfair."

"But the beasts are nowhere in the 3 kilometers radius."

The students started crying out. However, the good ones directly ran into the forest. They understood that a momentary fear wouldn't stop the beasts from returning back. If they went to the 3 kilometers line, they would find the beast's return.

If not, they had ways to lure the beasts in.

When the rest of the students saw that, they too understood what was happening and ran in. In less than a minute, there was no one in the area except Ning.

A teacher flew in and stood next to Ning. "Are they going to be okay, teacher Ning? The Broken Forest has a lot of hidden danger," the teacher said.

"No worries, teacher Yoka. I have my divine sense on them, nothing will happen to them," Ning said.

"What good will your divine sense that only go up to a few hundred meters do in this case, Teacher Ning?" the other teacher asked. He could feel the Golden Core realm aura from Ning since that was the facade Ning had decided to keep since the very beginning.

"Uh, my divine sense goes up to a few kilometers due to a secret technique I have. I can see all the disciples from here," Ning said.

"I see, well, my group of students is just listing down information about the beasts in the cages. I will go back or they will start cheating. See you later, teacher Ning," teacher Yoka said and left.

Once Yoka left, Ning waited for a few moments as he checked the disciples that were in the forest. Some were making sounds to attract the beasts, some were using ingredients to make a special scent, and some were even using widespread techniques. Everyone was doing something to attract back the beasts and very soon the beasts would be back.

'That can't happen,' Ning thought to himself and smiled. "Come out," he said and suddenly 3 beasts appeared in front of him.

Night dimmed the light of any place he appeared in. His eyes showed the resolute and stoic beast he was. Aegis was more innocent and immediately called out "Master" when he saw Ning. Blue on the other hand still had the arrogant look on him, but none of it was directed towards Ning.

"Is there some work?" Night asked. After eating a pill that Ning had made a few weeks ago, all of them had been healed to a considerable level. So now that Ning brought them out, they expected there to be some fighting.

"Yes, but it's not what you are thinking of," Ning said. "Alright, all 3 of you, drop your cultivation base to low level of Foundation Establishment realm."

The 3 of them were confused but did so without hesitation. "Now change your size down to what you would have at around that realm," Ning told them.

Night dropped his body's size until he was around half a meter in height. Blue changed his body accordingly until he was small and looked like a serpent more than a flood dragon.

Finally, Aegis stayed the same since that was what his adult size always was. Only he changed his features a little to make his golden body a little less attractive.

Once they were all done, Ning explained what the disciples were doing in the forest. "Your job is to go and distract them. Don't attack, don't interfere directly. Just go around them, move a little until you catch their attention, and run away when they try to capture you."

"Do that with every disciple until its midnight," Ning said. "Remember, do not retaliate. Those are students, and you aren't allowed to harm them at all."

"Finally, once midnight hits, don't show up anymore but stay around to protect them just in case," Ning said. "Understood?"

"Yes, Master," the 3 of them said in almost unison.

"Alright, good. Now go, I will also go in very soon," Ning said with a mischievous smile. The 3 beasts nodded and flew into the forest.

Before long, the students were starting to get distracted, thinking that their lure was working, and started following the three to try and tame them.
