Pokémon: Blessed by Fate, starting with the destruction of Tyranitar.

The SSS-level assessment is personally overseen by the Four Heavenly Kings.

Since the founding of the Eastern Empire on July 30th, very few people have been able to obtain an SSS-level rating.

There were only about twenty people in total.

But without exception, all of these people eventually became outstanding individuals.

Five of them became champions of the Eastern Empire, and the rest were basically king-level figures.

Moreover, they were among the most powerful in terms of combat strength.

Don't underestimate today's test just because it's a pre-exam test. Today's test is arguably the most challenging one for the elves.

So even though it's only Sunday, there are a lot of people gathered on the playground.

The senior high school students were naturally there to take the exam.

The first and second-year high school students came to observe the assessment process.

After all, in another year or two, it will be them standing here.

"Examinee, Xiong Li!"

"Elf, Derubi!"

"Strength: Peak Ordinary Level!"

"Rating: B!"

In the playground, mechanical electronic sounds emanated from the machines.

A tall, muscular man's face showed excitement.

"Holy crap, he's actually a B-level. This Xiong Li usually keeps a low profile."

"This...this guy actually got a B grade rating?"

"With this score, as long as I don't perform too badly in the practical assessment, getting into a top university is a sure thing!"

Seeing that Xiong Li received a B grade, many people present showed envy on their faces.

After all, this achievement is something they may never be able to reach in their entire lives.

As Xiong Li walked down, the official in charge of the pre-exam test picked up the list and said, "Next, Zhang Ming from Class 1, Grade 12!"

As the official's voice faded, Zhang Ming's figure emerged from the crowd.

He then walked towards the testing table, looking very nervous.

"Don't be nervous, just put the Poké Ball you received three months ago on the testing table."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He then placed the Poké Ball in his hand on the testing table.

A moment later, as Zhang Ming was feeling tense, the machine started to make noise.

"The examinee is Zhang Ming!"

"An elf, a one-horned rhinoceros!"

"Strength: Mid-Elite!"

"Rating: S-level!!"

As the machine's sound faded, everyone present stared at Zhang Ming in utter bewilderment.

Even many people present wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.

This time it's an S-level rating?!

"Holy crap, Zhang Ming actually has an S-level rating? That's a bit too outrageous!"

"Is this the true value of being a son of a dojo?"

"Damn, with this score, as long as he performs exceptionally well in actual combat, he might even be able to get into Donghuang Academy, right?"

"Damn it! I used to think that being born into a wealthy family was nothing special, but now I realize that being born into the right family is an art!"

Upon learning that Zhang Ming had achieved an S-level rating, everyone present was naturally astonished.

Zhang Ming's previously tense heart has now relaxed.

Just as he was getting excited and wanted to shout out how awesome it was...

Zhang Ming's gaze also subconsciously drifted to someone in the crowd beside him.

This person was none other than Li Huowang, who had recently returned from the world of elves.

To be honest, Zhang Ming is confident in his abilities.

But when he thought of Li Huowang, he lost some of his initial confidence.

Because he knew that even though he was currently enjoying great success, it would eventually be taken away by Li Huowang.

At this moment, Zhang Ming lost his former arrogance. He took a deep breath, thanked the examiner, and then returned to the crowd.

"S-level, that's a very high rating."

"If you make a foolish mistake in actual combat, your chances of getting into Donghuang Academy are still quite high."

The person who spoke at this moment was none other than Li Huowang.

If Zhang Ming had heard Li Huowang speak like that before, he would have been furious.

But now he seems like a different person, his temperament has become quite peaceful.

"Thank you for the compliment, this is a good result."

"But I can't compare to you!"

Hearing what Zhang Ming said, Li Huowang smiled.

"Actually, there's no point in comparing yourself to others."

"But as long as you can surpass yourself today..."

"I believe you will definitely become very amazing in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ming pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Li Huowang standing to the side.

He found it hard to believe that such a sentence could come from someone his own age.

In an instant, Zhang Ming smiled with relief, realizing why he could never surpass Li Huowang.

Just as Li Huowang and Zhang Ming were chatting idly...

Many more people went up to the testing platform.

Among them, Xia Wan'er from Class 6 and Fang Ruoxue from Class 6 both received an S-level rating and an SS-level rating, which were the most outstanding!

While everyone was frantically discussing Fang Ruoxue's SS-level rating...

On the testing platform, Mu Yang from Class 3 was placing his Pokémon on it.

"The examinee is Mu Yang!"

"Elf, Duckbill Fire Beast!"

"Strength, elite peak!!"

"Rating: SSS level!"

As Mu Yang's rating was announced, the crowd that had been chattering immediately fell silent.

Even the officials in charge of the assessment were stunned.

Clearly, he hadn't expected to witness a candidate with an SSS-level rating today!

"SSS rating? Holy crap, am I deaf?"

"Really? Someone in our little Beichuan actually got an SSS rating?"

"Holy crap! This rating must be the best in the whole place, right?"

Upon learning of Mu Yang's SSS-level rating, the entire audience erupted in a gasp of astonishment...

"SSS level? Is Mu Yang cheating?"

Upon learning of Mu Yang's rating, Xia Wan'er in the crowd couldn't help but gape.

This was because it was the first time she had ever seen someone in real life achieve an SSS rating.

"Don't be surprised, they come from the Mu family of Mingling!"

"He is Mu Can's younger brother, and the Mu family has high hopes for the talents of these two brothers."

"Resource allocation will definitely be done."

Fang Ruoxue, however, remained relatively calm in the face of Xia Wan'er's shock.

She knew Mu Yang's family background very well.

The family of Heavenly Kings has produced three Heavenly Kings.

The resources possessed by such a family are incomparable to those of a small local family like the Fang family.

However, compared to everyone else's shock, Fang Ruoxue was much calmer.

Mu Yang had already anticipated his performance.

Therefore, he wasn't too excited, but he still subconsciously looked at Li Huowang in the distance.

At this moment, Fang Ruoxue, with her sharp eyes, also noticed Mu Yang's gaze.

At this moment, Fang Ruoxue was somewhat puzzled.

Because she didn't understand why Mu Yang was looking at Li Huowang.

Moreover, she was also able to keenly sense the subtle provocation in Mu Yang's eyes.

It was as if he was telling Li Huowang that his abilities were no less than his.

Realizing this, Fang Ruoxue was even more bewildered.

Because he didn't know when Mu Yang and Li Huowang had a conflict!

Just as Fang Ruoxue was puzzled, the examiner praised Mu Yang for seeing him off.

He then read out the name of the next person.

"Next up, Li Huowang from Class 1, Grade 12!"

Upon hearing his name called, Li Huowang walked towards the testing platform.

At that moment, he also ran into Mu Yang, who was 1.8 meters tall, walking towards him.

Just as the two were passing each other, Mu Yang paused for a moment and said, "I will help my brother win back his Fire Element Obsidian!"

Upon hearing this, Li Huowang chuckled.

"Anytime!"

"But I hope you have that ability."

"After all, besides my Pokémon Tyranitar, which is also very powerful..."

"The other little guys are pretty good too!"

As he spoke, Li Huowang took out Gastly's Poké Ball right in front of Mu Yang.

He then chuckled and said, "Is an SSS-level rating really that impressive...?"

"I think it's just so-so!"

After saying that, Li Huowang casually tossed the Poké Ball, which flew towards the testing platform.

Everyone present was stunned by what they saw.

It was obvious that Li Huowang's move had left them somewhat dumbfounded.

Because it was the first time they had seen someone test it like this.

However, just as everyone was bewildered by Li Huowang's actions, the mechanical sound of the testing platform rang out.

"The examinee is Li Huowang."

"Ghost, sprite."
