Supreme BeastTamer: I Can Copy and Upgrade Skills 10x!

After passing through the gates, Nox and the students stepped onto the dirt path that led straight up. In front of them was Wendy, acting as their guide upfront.

On both sides of the dirt path, there were towering mutated trees with massive trunks. Further ahead, one could even see mountains and hills shrouded in thick fog. The weather here was cool and sent a soothing sensation whenever it grazed their skin.

After walking for several more minutes, the students began to think this whole special class was a joke. Their experience so far was no different from going on a vacation in the wilds for hiking. But so far, none of them had come across the divine soul fruits said to possess the power to grant experience points.

Soon, the patience of the students started to wear thin, and one of them couldn't help but question in a slightly agitated tone: "Instructors, shouldn't we be looking for the soul fruits now? How far do we need to go before we start looking for the fruit?"

All the students nodded their heads in agreement with what their classmate had said.

Wendy glanced at them and, while sighing, explained, "You'll not find soul fruits in this part of the forest. A bit further, that's where the test will take place."

Hearing Wendy, the students were relieved that they hadn't been scammed by the academy and continued. They didn't ask any more questions, and the journey proceeded in silence.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just a couple of minutes later, they came to a stop in front of a cliff. At the edge of the cliff was a wooden bridge that seemed to have withstood the test of time and emitted a creaking sound whenever the breeze blew. Beneath the bridge was a rushing river that roared as if a terrifying beast lived there.

Blake, who was among the students in the front, stepped forward, glanced down, and his expression went pale as he flinched back and gulped, the saliva sliding down his throat noisily.

"Damn, a fall from such a height is death."

A few students thought Blake was only bluffing, but when they took a glance too, all the blood drained from their faces. A girl pointed out in a trembling voice:

"Are we going to cross this bridge? This shaky bridge that seems like it could fall apart at any moment?"

"Yes... just across this bridge, that's where the soul fruits are located. Now, one after the other, start crossing," Wendy said sternly, stepping back.

"What? You're not coming with us?" one student asked, panicked.

"This is as far as I can go. Now stop whining and get moving already," Wendy snapped as she pushed the student in front of her. The push was quite hard, almost sending the student tumbling off the cliff and plunging into the roaring river below, where jagged rock outcroppings jutted out menacingly.

That student received the shock of his life and, for a full twenty seconds, didn't even breathe as he held the rope of the bridge with a tenacious grip, as if his entire life depended on it.

Just as that student was coming out of his shock, a figure suddenly zoomed past him.

"Eh?" Everyone stared at the back of the figure, realizing it belonged to the beautiful dark-red-haired girl with cold, empty eyes who bore a striking resemblance to the rank one student.

Nyx.

Seeing how Nyx was confidently walking on the bridge, even running from time to time, the others quickly followed behind, not wanting to be left behind. In their minds, if Nyx crossed to the other side first, she would hoard all the soul fruits for herself, and trying to steal from her would be very difficult.

The reason? In the special class, Nyx was among the strongest students. Apart from people like Nox, Theo, Kali, Zara, and Glen, the others didn't even hold a candle to her.

Soon, everyone crossed over. As soon as Nox stepped on the other side, his eyes immediately fell on a temple-like building atop a hill in the distance, a few meters away from the giant river that cut through the middle of the forest.

"A building in the middle of nowhere," Nox muttered, genuinely curious when he saw this structure. There was a negative and slightly disgusting aura that seemed to emit from the temple. If the temple was close by, Nox would have definitely checked it out, but because of the significant distance, he wasn't curious enough to venture there.

As soon as the students safely made it across, they spread out in all directions to start searching for the soul fruits. Nox was no different and went his separate way.

He searched for about twenty minutes before he eventually found a tree the size of an adult human. On the branches of this tree with an unnaturally slim trunk, Nox found two delicate soul fruits waiting to be plucked. Their lustrous blue appearance glinted and seemed to call out to Nox to take a bite.

"What was the reason for this class again? Gathering the fruits, right?" Nox mumbled to himself as he stretched his arms and plucked the first fruit, feeling its soft, supple texture in his palm. "They did say it would belong to us after the end of the class."

Nox brought the slightly cold fruit to his lips and took a bite, feeling the rush of juice entering his mouth. It tasted like a mix of honey and citrus, causing his eyes to glint with delight.

"This isn't bad. It's even more delicious than it looks," he mumbled to himself. Then suddenly, a message appeared in his retina:

[You have consumed a Level 1 Soul Fruit.]

[Ding! You received +100 experience points.]

Nox's eyes flashed when he saw this message. This was not bad at all. How many levels were these things? If just a Level 1 Soul Fruit could grant this amount of experience points, what about the higher levels?

"I better stack them." Although he wanted to eat more of these fruits, Nox knew he needed to tame his avarice, so he decided to pluck the remaining soul fruits on the tree and store them in his inventory. However, just mere inches away, he felt a terrifying existence behind him, and Nox's danger senses flared!
