The two old men read through all of Lin Fan's answers and they couldn't believe what they had read.
All of Lin Fan's answers could have been considered textbook examples of what answers to these questions should be.
Then when they came to the more difficult problems, they weren't certain of the answers that were given since they went into even more details than the answer key they were given. However, as Master Monster Trainers, after discussing it with each other, they realized that Lin Fan's answers past the answer key were all correct.
Rather if they were all true, it might even open up a new field of study for these topics.
When this thought passed through their minds, they couldn't help feeling a chill run down their backs.
Just what was with this kid?
How could he have this kind of knowledge?
Even if he started reading books in his mother's womb, it would be impossible for him to have all this knowledge!
But how could he have all this knowledge?
Could it be that he was one of those body snatchers?
The body snatchers that these old men were thinking of were the soul fragments of a Legendary Realm Expert that survived after death, which were capable of possessing another's body, slowly taking them over until destroying the host soul.
There had been a few cases of this happening and a disaster had occurred each time since one lost part of their soul when they died, so these fragmented souls normally had mental defects. There were cases of no morality, turning the body snatchers into homicidal maniacs. There were cases of no apathy, creating monsters that only worked towards their goals, whether they were bad or not.
In most cases of these body snatchers, they had the memories of their past life's cultivation to rely on, so they had a wealth of knowledge since birth and quickly increased their cultivations, making them incredibly powerful. On the other hand, since they were powerful, it meant that they were very hard to stop if an important part of their soul was missing.
But that didn't seem to be the case with Lin Fan since he lacked the characteristics of a body snatcher.
Since fragments of souls turned into ghosts and specters which were beings of pure yin, when they possessed a body and made it their own, that body would have an excessive amount of yin energy. This would result in that body being extremely pale and weak to sunlight, almost making that body snatcher feel like it was burning away when it was standing under pure sunlight.
But this room was a rather well lit room, so there was bright sunlight that came in through the window, falling right onto Lin Fan. If it did burn him, he really was a great actor since he didn't show any signs of discomfort at all. However, he also didn't have the pale skin of a body snatcher.
The only other explanation they could think of was that Lin Fan was a reincarnator.
This reincarnator was different from the reincarnator that were featured in the novels on earth, this reincarnator was an expert from the upper realms.
Sometimes when an expert reached a bottleneck in their cultivation or if they came close to reaching their natural lifespan, they had the choice to scatter their souls and reincarnate in a lower realm.
By reincarnating, not only did that give them extra time, it also gave them new perspectives into their laws and gave them a chance to interact with different laws.
But there was always a risk when it came to doing anything. By scattering their souls and reincarnating in a lower realm, they would be sealing off their memories and returning to a lower cultivation.
To return to their peak, they would have to slowly unlock their memories again and regain their cultivation, but they would have a much easier time to cultivate with their experience from their past life.
Even so, there was still a chance that they would be unlucky and would encounter something that would take their lives before they could finish developing. But with life, there were risks that came with rewards and one could never gain anything without taking risks.
There were reincarnators that had far surpassed their strength at the peak of their past lives and went on to become unparalleled experts. Of course, there were also plenty of reincarnators that had become nothing but dust in the end.
Still, to even have the chance to reincarnate, one would have to be at a cultivation level that was even past the Soul Realm, which was a realm that was past the upper echelon of the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
This meant that each reincarnator probably had a powerful force behind them if they felt secure enough to reincarnate, or at least a decent amount of relationships in a true upper realm that would deter others from messing with them for no reason.
Of course, that was not something that these two old men knew.
The only thing they knew about reincarnators were the rumour that had trickled down from the upper realm. As far as they knew, reincarnators were just people of the Legendary Realm who reincarnated.
These two old men weren't sure which theory was correct, but the one thing they were certain of was that their Monster Trainer Union had to recruit this genius.
If they could, they might even catch the attention of the upper realm faction behind them and they might receive a reward for discovering this genius.
When the two old men looked back at Lin Fan, they had a much more friendly appearance.
The old man who picked the question asked, "Young man, how were you able to come up with your answer for the tenth question? That's something that even I never thought of before."
Lin Fan revealed a smile and said, "Fairies are beings of elements similar to spirits, as long as we remember the elemental theory of spirits, we can…"
Lin Fan went into an in depth description of his method and when he was done, the eyes of the two old men were sparkling as their minds were filled with ideas.
The other old man couldn't help asking, "But even if you can apply the elemental theory of spirits to developing the elemental energy of fairies, isn't there still a difference when it comes to control?"
Lin Fan explained, "You have to remember that at their components, elemental energy is nothing more than energy used to control the elements. It doesn't matter how they are controlled, as long as we remember that the fundamental elements don't change at all."
"But…" The old men still had several more questions that they wanted to ask, but for every question that they did ask, Lin Fan patiently explained his theory. By the end of it, the two old men were looking at Lin Fan with gazes filled with admiration.
Just based on that conversation they had now, if they had to guess, Lin Fan's general knowledge was already at the peak of the Master Monster Trainer class. He might even be close to reaching the Grandmaster Monster Trainer class.
What they didn't know was that Lin Fan had already passed that, he was already getting close to reaching the Legendary Monster Trainer class.
After their conversation, the two old men were filled with excitement.
The first old man who picked the questions said in an excited voice, "Young friend, you really are a talented person. Can you tell me who your master is?"
Now that they had confirmed that he was a genius, of course it was time to start poking at his background.
For such a genius, there was no way that there wasn't a master that had taught him everything. The master that could raise such a monster, he was definitely a monster himself.
Lin Fan just humbly said, "My master is nothing more than a simple scholar, he has pounded all this knowledge into my mind, but I am lacking when it comes to practical skills."
At this, the two old men calmed down.
After all, being a Monster Trainer wasn't all about just having knowledge. The other important part was being able to apply this knowledge and actually train the pets.
But after thinking about it, the two old men became excited again.
Someone with this kind of talent when it came to knowledge saying that he was lacking in practical application had to be acting humble. There was no way that he would actually be that bad.
The old men conferred with each other for a bit before turning back to Lin Fan.
The first old man said, "Alright, young friend, I hereby announce that you have passed the first test of the Master Monster Trainer test. But I also want to announce that we will be giving you the special right to skip the second test and go directly to the third and final test."
Lin Fan was confused when he heard this and he asked, "Third and final test? Special right? What was the second test even about?"
The two old men were surprised when they heard this.
The first old man couldn't help asking, "Do you not know anything about the Master Monster Trainer test?"
Lin Fan casually said, "This is my first time taking any Monster Trainer test, so I have no idea what to expect."
The two old men were shocked by this.
This was only his first time?
He had never taken the Monster Trainer test before?
What a freak!
