On the other hand, Locke was not all that surprised.

He knew that Alice was doing it to bring honor to her family.

However, in Locke’s eyes, this was no more than a childish play.

Locke was not impressed at all.

‘It’s just a measly little Level 5, Stage 2 Onyx-gold Ape. So what? I’ve slain Stage 4 ones before.’

Locke looked at Alice with disdain.

Meanwhile, Alice slowly walked to the center of the ring and took a deep breath.

She maintained a calm appearance.

However, her mental state was anything but.

Although she was certain that she could defeat her opponent, she would not go through it unscathed,

Alice had made the decision without any hesitation.

She wanted to show Locke just how powerful the nobles were.

Soon, her opponent walked out of the huge iron gate.

The Onyx-gold Ape’s body was similar to that of a humanoid, and it walked upright.

Its body was a dark shade of gold, and its body’s defensive ability was very abnormal. Not only that, the Onyx-gold Ape’s attack power was also very powerful. As such, even though it was only a Stage 2 Daemon, its combat power was still very formidable.

Alice immediately summoned her own Battle Beasts.

One of them was a Blizzard Stallion, and the other was a Water Fairy.

Since Alice was a silver-tier Beastmaster, it was normal for her to own two Battle Beasts.

Naturally…

This was only in Locke’s perspective.

To the other students present, this was not something they could accept at face value.

“Oh my God, she has an orange quality Water Fairy!”

“As expected of a big family, to think that they would possess such a powerful orange quality Skill-based Battle Beast.”

“Holy cr*p! That’s an actual Water Fairy! Must be nice to be born in a rich family.”

The students below the stage were shocked by Alice’s Battle Beasts.

Alice took great pleasure in observing their expressions.

She then turned to look at Locke.

She gave him a taunting look.

However, Locke looked at Alice as if she was an idiot.

Alice seemed to understand.

She seemed to realize that Locke was looking down on her, and she instantly became furious.

If it was not for her match, she would have already gone to the stands and beat him senseless.

However, Alice soon regained her composure.

She fused with her Water Fairy.

Meanwhile, Blizzard Stallion was ready to charge into battle at Alice’s command.

Loosing a furious roar, the Onyx-gold Ape charged straight towards Alice.

Icy Thrust.

The icy steed’s innate skill was fired at the Onyx-gold Ape that was charging over.

However, the Onyx-gold Ape did not dodge. Instead, It relied on its strong body to withstand the blow.

After that, the Onyx-gold Ape sent the Blizzard Stallion hurtling with a heavy punch.

Then, it charged towards Alice again.

However, Alice showed no signs of panic. It was obvious that she had been through combat before.

With the support of her Water Fairy, she used Turbulent Waves.

The huge waves pushed the dark gold ape out of its attack range.

At the same time, the Blizzard Stallion that had been sent flying had gotten back on its feet.

It looked at the Onyx-gold Ape with killing intent in its eyes.

Following Alice’s order, the Blizzard Stallion took the initiative to attack the Dark Gold Ape.

Alice once again used Turbulent Waves to restrict the Onyx-gold Ape’s movements.

At the same time, the Blizzard Stallion used Icy Thrust once more.

A hit.

The Onyx-gold Ape was seriously injured this time.

It struggled to get up.

It let out an angry roar.

Soon its body became swollen.

Its entire body emitted a golden light.

This was the dark gold ape’s innate skill, Onyx Blessing.

It continuously strengthened its own physical body.

The Onyx-gold Ape was at its strongest while in this state.

It angrily rushed towards Alice’s direction.

Its huge momentum caused the Blizzard Stallion to involuntarily retreat.

At this moment, Alice’s expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

She had become nervous.

She thought to herself, ‘Looks like I underestimated the dark gold ape, so I have no choice but to use that method.’

Naturally, Alice had a trump card up her sleeves.

After all, she was a genius from a noble family!

Such a family would definitely give her some life-saving skills.

The Water Fairy quickly left her body, and the Blizzard Stallion in the distance returned to Alice’s side.

The Water Fairy then fused with the Blizzard Stallion.

Back in the stands…

The students were stupefied at the developments before them.

Why could the Water Fairy and the Blizzard Stallion fuse together?

Was this the trump card of her family?

Regardless, Alice paid no heed to what the audience thought.

The Blizzard Stallion’s eyes were sharp after the fusion.

It did not dodge at all as it watched the Onyx-gold Ape charged at it.

Using its hooves, the Blizzard Stallion guarded against the Onyx-gold Ape’s heavy punch.

The Onyx-gold Ape seemed to be very surprised.

It did not expect that it would be able to withstand its own attack.

The Onyx-gold Ape was very confident in its strength after transforming.

As such, it could not help but be surprised at its opponents strength.

It hesitated for a moment.

Due to this moment of hesitation, the fused Blizzard Stallion had found an opportunity to strike.

Icy Thrust.

It struck the Onyx-gold Ape’s chest.

The Onyx-gold Ape fell to the ground.

Alice shouted at the top of her lungs. She wanted the Blizzard Stallion to use its skill.

Understanding its master’s intention, the Blizzard Stallion let out a cry.

The light in its mouth condensed rapidly.

Ice Fissure.

The fusion skill was unleashed.

The powerful ice ray struck the Onyx-gold Ape’s body.

Very soon.

The Onyx-gold Ape’s body was frozen solid.

As the horse’s hooves landed on it, the ape’s body shattered into pieces.

The students who were watching at the seats also cried out in surprise.

“This attack is really powerful!”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect that even a body as strong as the Onyx-gold Ape’s would be frozen solid.”

“That’s right. The power of this attack is probably comparable to the attack of a Daemon of the seventh or even eighth level of the second stage.”

The students who were watching the battle were constantly praising Alice’s perfect attack.

“An Onyx-gold Ape of Level 5, Stage 2, killed.”

“You have passed the assessment, superior-grade.”

The examiner’s voice rang out upon the ape’s defeat.

He announced Alice’s victory.

“As expected, superior-grade.”

“As expected of a top genius from a noble family.”

A female student on the stage said with a hint of flattery.

Locke’s gaze towards Alice also changed slightly.

However, it was not recognition.

He had not considered the possibility of Battle Beasts fusing.

This had opened up a whole new world of possibilities to Locke.
