Pao Bai's previous fuleira was 71732, which means he still needed 28268 points of fuleira to become a grandmaster. The fuleira of the white dragon horse was 127900, and based on a 100 intimacy level, the white dragon horse still needed to gain 368 points of fuleira.
According to the intimacy level between Ye Zhongming and the white dragon horse, he needed to provide 614 points of fuleira.
Using Eternal Grace to transfer some, Pao Bai's fuleira suddenly broke through 100,000, making him the third grandmaster after Jie Su and the white dragon horse.
With previous experience in mind, Ye Zhongming and the others kept their distance from Pao Bai. This lord silver commander stood with his eyes closed, showing no signs of the mental wandering that occurred when Jie Su leveled up, nor the strange phenomenon when the white dragon horse leveled up; he appeared calm.
But in the next moment, Jie Su, Ye Zhongming, and the white dragon horse turned their heads together, though not in the same direction. Ye Zhongming turned towards the side and back, Jie Su to the right, while the white dragon horse looked upwards towards the energy gate.
Several illusory black shadows appeared in the direction they were looking. They looked exactly like Pao Bai but were completely black, resembling ghosts in the dim environment of the mountain, giving off a chilling aura.
Then, these shadows began to move constantly, making gestures as if swinging their limbs. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that protruding from their fists and feet were shapes that looked like daggers made of shadows.
They teleported continuously in space around Pao Bai, changing positions as if engaged in battle with an unseen opponent.
"What is this move of yours?" Jie Su asked Ye Zhongming beside him.
The King of Cloud Summit hesitated for a moment and replied uncertainly, "It resembles a rapid assault, but not quite."
Jie Su shook his head at this, not denying Ye Zhongming, but he knew that rapid assault was a well-known move of the Star-Eye Clan. Of course, it wasn't a high-level skill; there were plenty of similar videos on terminals. However, nothing compared to Pao Bai’s ability. Ye Zhongming likely had a form of sublimation after becoming a grandmaster.
After a while, several black shadows gradually disappeared, and Pao Bai opened his eyes, smiling at his good friends.
Jie Su sighed slightly, "I sensed danger from your earlier ability. It seems the decline of the Star-Eye Clan is simply due to the lack of grandmasters in many years."
Hearing Jie Su's sentiment, Pao Bai countered, "Every race has its own characteristics, including those that have been exterminated. The only difference is that we have Little Leaf, and they do not."
After exchanging a few more words, Ye Zhongming converted his reward points into fuleira.
Before the third round of the third test, Ye Zhongming had already converted his points into fuleira, exchanging 4865 points for 19460 fuleira. Now, Ye Zhongming's total fuleira had reached 50561. He then gave 1614 points to the white dragon horse, leaving him with 48947. Adding this round's reward points of 4388 exchanged for 17552, Ye Zhongming’s fuleira reached 66499.
"If there’s another round of tests, you could actually become a grandmaster too," Pao Bai said, feeling a bit sorry for his brother.
With Jie Su, Pao Bai, and the white dragon horse all becoming grandmasters, and Ye Zhongming inevitably reaching the grandmaster level after his transformation, they felt a hint of regret, thinking they could probably pass another round of tests.
However, upon careful consideration, the risks were still significant. Their current strength might help them through the first or even the second round of the fourth test, but given the increasing difficulty, the third round would be extremely dangerous. If anything unexpected happened, even if they passed, someone might sacrifice themselves, which was not what everyone wanted to see.
Having achieved their current gains, the three and one dragon were already very satisfied.
