Chapter 306: 306: Caleb's Turn
Just like that. It was Mei's turn. Unsurprisingly, she got a Level 4 performance. In the battle against the beast tide, she was already an awakening realm with excellent genetic abilities and battle awareness almost equal to Zhou.
"I choose C-rank Lunar Breathing Technique," Mei said to Zenith, who in turn nodded.
Zenith seemed to think for a while before he rummaged his storage ring. Then, just like the other items from before. A black scroll appeared in the air and floated for two to three minutes before it landed on Mei's palm.
"Lunar Breathing Technique has a superb rate of absorbing breathing technique. It also gives the moon an attribute to the genetic warrior's energy. It smoothens the flow and makes the genetic energy more tamed and relaxed. A moon attribute genetic energy would give you an edge on practicing dark-type and lunar-type fighting techniques."
"The only downside of it was the fact that you needed to wait for midnight in the middle of the night when the moon was fully shown. You can only cultivate with the moonlight illuminating your body so it's quite time-restricted. However, the speed you cultivate is five times more than average C-rank absorption techniques."
Zenith recited the information he had about Luna's Absorption Technique from his mind with a smile. Since Mei got the level 4 performance. It could only be said that she was a good seed. He doesn't mind giving her advice and wasting a few seconds to her.
Feeling Zenith's good intentions. Mei bowed respectfully at him with a gratified smile. "Thank you, commander!"
'Now that I think about it. I don't have a decent absorption technique yet... Not to mention, I didn't even use Breathing Technique to advance.' Speechless, Caleb began to consider if he should pick an absorption technique or genetic potion.
After all, to reach his current realm. He just fused the hell out of his taboo energy and physical energy. He hasn't used any of the absorption techniques. Well, it would be slower anyway... What he needed were those S-rank to SSS-rank absorption techniques to let him reach gold or even platinum.
Does he need them? He knew that it would be harder to acquire such a high-level absorption technique. Maybe he needs to join an organization or government. However, he has the fusion system. Let's say he fuses 10 or 15 A-rank absorption techniques. Won't get the S-rank absorption technique as a result? Unfortunately, he doesn't currently have an A-rank technique to him to try.

'Another goal of mine is to gather a lot of B-rank or A-rank absorption techniques.'
Caleb noted.
"Next!"
Zenith's gaze landed on the last student on the line. Adam... 'So this is the one that has the highest performance. Can't believe he's just a student. Even elite soldiers rarely get such an evaluation. Maybe he will become the next pillar of the Philippines?'
As he saw Zenith's heated gaze. Caleb couldn't help but shudder. Why the hell are you looking at me like that? Fuck!
At this moment, Caleb had the impulse to suddenly fuse Zenith to a mouse. However, he shook his head. That would be too vicious, ain't it? He could see that the commander was a righteous individual who truly cared and wholeheartedly served the country. Such a man doesn't deserve to be fused to a rodent.
'Unfortunately, I'm not that attached to the Philippines...' Caleb sighed.
Well, it was impossible for him to become patriotic to a country of one of the infinite worlds that he would traverse, anyway. He was bound to be just a passerby here.
As Caleb arrived in front of the holographic blue screen. He could feel in his perception that his classmates were waiting for him to open his mouth.
"Name?"
"Adam..."
"Level 6 Performance!"
Zenith announced, which made Erina and the students stupefied. Adam was the last in the line. They thought that at most. He would get a level-5 performance. His performance was seen by all. But to get a Level 6 performance is the highest feat!
"Damn! Adam is about to soar into the sky in one step! Adam, you're my idol now! Please don't forget us once you become powerful in the future!"
"Too amazing! I'm lucky and unlucky at the same time to be with the same generation as Adam. There's no doubt about it. Adam has a bright future ahead of him! A lot of you guys doubt it from the start. But he's proving you guys wrong."
Heating the flattery of his classmates over Adam. Zhou's face became ugly. Bastards! Trash! In the past, he was the one they flattered and wanted to hug his thigh. Now that Adam was stronger. They quickly switched sides.
"What do you think?" Fatty looked at Mei with a smirk.
Mei appeared startled at Fatty's sudden question. "What do I think? I think he'll choose genetic potions like you."
"Nah, not that." Fatty shook his head. Then, a shit-eating grin replaced the smirk on his face. "I mean. Ya know... Both you and Adam are from a wealthy family. He is handsome and talented. You are a beautiful and strong woman..."
Confused, Mei looked at Fatty for a few seconds. Then, a realization hit her when she saw his mongrel smile. A red tint appeared on his cheeks. "Bastard! Y-you're saying we should be together!?"
It was Fatty that was stupefied at this moment. He was just joking. He didn't expect to actually make Mei blush!
'How cute! It seems my buddy and Mei actually have a chance! I shall ship them to oblivion!' Fatty, at this moment, wants to take the role of a cupid.
After all, why would Mei react like that if she didn't feel anything to Adam? Fatty had been walking at the river and lakes. He was a veteran sunflower driver. How could he not see through Mei!?
Mei let out a snort and pinched Fatty's ears until they turned red.
"Ouch!" He grunted.
"You better not continue with your black-hearted intentions!" Mei released Fatty's ears as she saw Fatty's face turned blue.
Caleb, on the other hand, appeared calm and indifferent to the announcement and flattery of his classmates. His gaze was just on the screen.
'What a character!' Zenith praised in his heart as he saw how stable Adam behaved. A genius of such age and mature character was quite rare.
