[Test number 2 Starts.]

[System Initialization... Data used: Race Nalorian, Late stage Bronze rank.]

The light particles in front of Kieran gathered into a humanoid figure standing 2 meters tall. Its skin, a translucent light blue, bore luminous veins coursing through its body. Its large, oval eyes shone with a pearly white hue. Short, fine, and silver hair adorned its head.

The Nalorians were one of the allied races of the Aegis Alliance, but they were only allies in name. The alliance had deployed their soldiers on their planet, declaring that they were coming to protect them from external threats in exchange for which they would acquire part of their planet's resources as well as their techniques linked to the crystal essence.

They were not the only race to have found themselves submitting to the rules of the Aegis Alliance, but unlike several of them who tried to resist, the Nalorians had accepted their fate and interacted daily with humans.

As Kieran watched, the veins in the Nalorian's body began to glow, dazzling the entire room. Closing his eyes to avoid the light, tiny particles of crystal essence escaped in small quantities from his body.

Taking a step back, he dodged a long, translucent blue arm that came for his head.

Kieran's fist moved in a blur, and the sound of a faint explosion was heard as the Nalorian disappeared into a stream of light particles.

[Test number 3 Starts.]

[System Initialization... Data used: Crystal Beast Fire Monkey, Late stage Bronze rank.]

While in the VR simulation, Kieran faced a monkey covered in fire, Andrew and Ethan turned toward each other.

"It seems that he has reached the Silver rank, given the strength he is showing. Unless he suddenly gives up, his inscription is already successful," Ethan said.

"We just have to see how far he can go. I wonder what his abilities look like," replied Andrew.

While the two discussed together, Kieran had already completed the third test.

[Test number 3 Succeeded. 50 academic merit points awarded.]

[Test number 4 Starts.]

[System Initialization... Data used: Race Vral, Peak stage Bronze rank.]

As the figure of a Vral appeared before Kieran, the temperature of the inscription room suddenly dropped.

A spike of earth pierced the Vral, ending his life in an instant.

[Test number 4 Succeeded. 100 academic merit points awarded.]

Despite the Vral's body disappearing in front of him, Kieran couldn't take his eyes off it while an intense killing intent unfolded with him at its center, making all the participants in their VR capsules tremble in fear.

A trace of surprise appeared in Andrew's eyes. With a wave of his hand, a barrier made of crystal essence surrounded Kieran's VR capsule, preventing his killing intent from escaping outside and allowing the other participants to return to a stable state of mind.

"His killing intent isn't too great for his age? How many lives did he take for it to develop so much?" Ethan said with a slight shock on his face.

"He only freed it when a Vral appeared. He may have come from a planet on the border between the alliance and the Vrals. With the current war, he might have taken part in some battles against them," replied Andrew.

As the two tried to understand Kieran's origins, the 5th test began.

[Test number 5 Starts.]

[System Initialization... Data used: race Ent, Early stage Silver rank.]

A tree with a humanoid appearance materialized. With a height of 4 meters, its body was covered in black bark and moss. Its thick limbs resembled massive branches knotted together.

Kieran waved his hand, creating ten blades of fire that flew toward the Ent.

The Ent buried its arms into the ground, a green aura emanating from its body while a wall made of branches rose from the ground, blocking the blades of fire.

The Ent quickly backed away, separating itself from the wall of branches that had caught fire. It dug its arms into the ground again, causing numerous brambles to appear, which headed towards Kieran.

Kieran's eyes glowed a red hue as a circle of fire spread around him, incinerating the brambles that approached. The next moment, he brought both his hands together, forming a spear of fire between them before throwing it at the Ent.

Feeling the intense heat coming from the fire spear, the Ent reacted hastily. Advancing its right arm forward, it separated into countless branches, forming a protection in front of it.

The branches were instantly reduced to ashes upon contact with the spear of fire.

A green glow traveled through the Ent's body, detaching its arm from the rest of its body and quickly stepping back, only to be greeted by blades of fire surrounding it on either side.

Crystal essence emanated from its body as well as a green glow to create branches around it, trying as best it could to resist the blades of fire, which were gradually incinerating its defenses until its crystal essence was exhausted and the blades of fire quickly ended its life, leaving only a pile of ashes behind it.

"His control over fire is quite good, even if he has not yet reached the 2nd rank in his elemental affinity cultivation," said Ethan.

"Based on the fact that his abilities are linked to transformation, his physical prowess should be of a better level," replied Andrew.

[Test number 6 Starts.]

[System Initialization... Data used: Insectoid race, Early stage Silver rank.]

A humanoid figure appeared before Kieran, roughly the same size as he was. Standing upright, the insectoid had six limbs, two serving as legs and four as arms, each adorned with multiple-jointed fingers ending in protruding claws that could move in various directions and perform precise tasks. Its body was covered in a black exoskeleton. It had a pair of large multifaceted eyes and two long antennae atop its head, which moved slightly.

As soon as the Insectoid appeared, it lunged at Kieran while its hideous mouth made a screeching noise. Its left arms moved quickly, its protruding claws pointing forward.

Kieran struck with his fist, destroying both of the Insectoid's left arms in an instant, causing green blood to flow from its wounds.

Emitting another shrill cry, the Insectoid moved its mouth wide open to try and devour Kieran's head, who took a step back, transforming his left hand into the shape of a lycan before slicing the Insectoid's head off.

A fountain of green blood escaped from the Insectoid's body, but it did not fall. Instead, its body moved once again.

Its remaining arms attempted to pierce Kieran, who reacted quickly by kicking the Insectoid's abdomen, pushing it back several meters before creating a spike of earth under it to impale it.

The Insectoid struggled for several seconds before its movements became slower until it stopped completely and transformed into a particle of light.

"These things really have a frightening resilience. Even without their heads, they still manage to survive." Ethan said.

"The really scary part about this race is their reproductive capacity and voracious appetite," replied Andrew.

"I heard that several planets in the Xater solar system were recently devoured by their race."

"The army is limited with the war against the Vrals. Several missions have already been sent to the alliance academies to ask for assistance, and some were sent to the 100 young sovereigns. The situation should quickly calm down if they manage to find the queen and kill her before she lays more eggs."

As the two chatted among themselves, the results were displayed in front of Kieran.

[Test number 6 Succeeded. 300 academic merit points awarded.]

[Test number 7 Starts.]

[System Initialization... Data used: Human race, Faith Asteria, Peak stage Bronze rank.]

The particles of light regrouped together and formed the appearance of a young woman who appeared to be in her twenties.

Her hair was a rich shade of dark purple, falling in soft waves to the middle of her back.

She wore a casual outfit consisting of a white t-shirt with a sleeveless black jacket over it, a black skirt reaching above her knees, and a pair of black ankle boots.

Around her neck was a headset with a purple butterfly design on it, and a decorative butterfly wing attached to each side of the headset.

She slowly opened her eyelids, revealing a pair of captivating light purple eyes that seemed to come to life as she stared at Kieran.

Sitting on his chair, Andrew straightened his position when he saw the young woman appear. Ethan turned to him suddenly, his face filled with surprise.

"Is this the Tone Traveler? Do we have the data of the 100 young sovereigns?" Ethan asked in a surprised voice.

"Only some of them agreed to share them, but they rarely appear during the inscription tests. So? Wasn't I right when I told you it would become interesting?" Andrew replied with a smile on his face, his eyes shining, staring at the screen.
