Chapter 74: Chapter Seventy-Three: Domination Assessment
Translator: 549690339
By the side of Taize Lake.
At the border between Gusu City and Lingxi City, outside Danggu Mountain examination point.
Because the two cities had a joint examination for the first time, the professional examination was unprecedentedly popular. Although the majority were young people, many middle-aged people also came to try their luck.
“I didn’t expect a joint examination between the two cities this time, the plan of startling everyone by passing the examination in one try doesn’t seem feasible.”
Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Lu Yuan’s expression was a bit solemn.
With the help of resources obtained inside Lamentation Tower, he had raised his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger very well. Aside from a few people like Bai Qi or Xia Xuan, he felt quite confident.
However, including Lingxi City was a different matter.
The overall standard of Beast Masters in Lingxi City is higher than in Gusu City, and even more so for the students at Tianxuan High School within it.
After a brief observation, Lu Yuan had already spotted many students from Tianxuan High School.
“Lu Yuan, you came quite early.”
Gao Cheng parted the crowded audience to reach Lu Yuan.
“Brother Cheng.”
Lu Yuan laughed and said, “Since it’s the first joint examination between the two cities, I should definitely come early to observe the situation.”
After Lamentation Tower, the two had become more familiar and often trained and completed tasks together.
“True, the difficulty level of this examination is much higher than usual. I wonder if I can pass.”
Despite what he said, Gao Cheng didn’t seem particularly nervous.
With the resources he had obtained from the Lamentation Tower, he gave his Fire Armor Scorpion a huge power boost. Coupled with his previous experiences, he felt confident about passing the exam despite the joint examination between the two cities.
“Yoho, both of you are here.”
At this moment, Han Wei came forward from afar, his face full of disdain.
“Had I known there would be so many people, I would have come later, what a loss.”
Han Wei yawned lazily. Seeing this, Gao Cheng couldn’t help but give a wry smile, saying, “The difficulty level of this examination is not small, coming early to acclimate to the environment is beneficial.”
“Adapting does nothing if we can’t enter the examination hall.”
Han Wei pursed his lips and looked around, asking, “By the way, have Bai Qi and Xia Xuan arrived?”
Gao Cheng shook his head and said, “I haven’t seen them, but I’m pretty sure they won’t pass up on this examination.”
Han Wei stretched lazily and said, “True, both of them have reached the Second Stage and are sure to pass.”
“Second Stage?!”
Lu Yuan and Gao Cheng exclaimed almost in unison, their eyes full of disbelief as they turned towards Han Wei.
“You guys didn’t know? Some time ago, Bai Qi and Xia Xuan had a fight. I don’t know the exact result, but judging by Xia Xuan’s state afterward, I think he lost.”
Remembering Xia Xuan’s disgusted expression when he asked about the incident last time, Han Wei couldn’t help chuckling.
That guy, he actually reached the Second Stage?
Lu Yuan stood dumbfounded, feeling like his worldview was being washed away once again.
It must be because he hasn’t undergone enhancements…
That must be it!
On the other side, Bai Qi found his examination hall with his admission ticket, and looking at the bustling crowd around him, he couldn’t help feeling a bit nostalgic.
“But, there are really a lot of people.”
“It’s a bit like the talent market of my past life.”
Bai Qi looked around and didn’t see many familiar faces, so he headed straight for the examination hall entrance.
The professional examination was divided into three parts.
The first part was the basic examination, primarily testing the level of your pet beast and other various indicators.
The second part was a theoretical examination, testing the Beast Master’s understanding of nurturing pet beasts and wilderness exploration and other aspects.
Both of these examinations were conducted in the morning, while the third part, the practical examination, was in the afternoon.
At this time, Bai Qi held his exam admission card and moved forward with the crowd, and in front of them, there was a massive gate-like detection instrument.
As long as the candidates summoned their pet beasts and passed through the gate, all relevant data would be detected clearly and precisely. Similar instruments were placed in thirty locations at the Danggu Mountain examination site.This was also the reason why both tests were held in the morning.
“Please show your admission ticket.”
A female examiner sat in front of the detector, smiled and picked up the instrument to scan a boy’s admission ticket. After confirming it was correct, she said, “Please summon your pet and stand in the marked position.” Those able to serve as professional examiners were naturally professional Beast Masters. Although it was only for a short day, the remuneration was quite generous.
Especially for this joint exam between two cities, the slots for examiner were fiercely competed for.
The boy seemed to be infected by the female examiner’s smile, his face slightly red, but it somewhat alleviated his pressure. He took a deep breath, and a pale white summoning array appeared in front of him.
Then, a tall bird, predominantly white, with a bright red crown on its head and black throat and neck, crawled out of the array.
[Name]: Red-crowned Crane
[Race): Flying System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Racial skills]: Air Slice, Flight, Red Poison
The Red-crowned Crane, one of the signature pets of Gusu City, looking at its feathers and red crown, was trained quite well.
Meanwhile, the detector timely reported the data of the Red-crowned Crane.
“Examinee: Yu shan.”
“Race Name: Red-crowned Crane.”
“Bloodline Level: Mid-Level Elite.”
“Growth Level: First Stage One Level.”
“Energy Value: 1200.”
Hearing these data, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, and the female examiner on the side nodded as well.
Generally speaking, pets had less demand for energy value at the Zero Stage, since the number of skills used at the Zero Stage was quite limited.
After all, with just a couple hundred energy points, a skill might be exhausted, not worth it, so most attacks are basic.
However, once they progressed to the First Stage, their energy value experienced a breakthrough.
For an elite level like the Red-crowned Crane, the minimum energy value was about 1000. The boy’s pet was only at the First Stage One Level and had 1200 energy value, which was considered not bad in terms of training.
After all, the more or less of the energy value directly affected the number of times the skill can be used, having more naturally had the advantage.
But from then on, unless there was a racial evolution, it could only be slowly accumulated by hard work, no more breakthrough increases should occur.
The exam went on as usual, basically no highlights, even a bit dull Although everyone knew that Elite races were powerful, not everyone could make a pact with them. Many people’s pacts were at the Servant level, with energy values basically below 1000.
“Examinee: Wang Yun.”
“Race Name: Six-eyed Monkey.”
“Bloodline Level: Low-Level Lord.”
“Growth Level: First Stage Four Level.”
“Energy Value: 4300.”
In an instant, the original dull detection environment suddenly stirred up waves, as exclamations came from all sides.
“Holy shit, a Lord-Level pet!”
“The energy value is ten times mine, haha, I am a waste…”
“Is it from Lingxi City? It’s over, there’s no chance for this exam.”
A slew of examinees turned their heads in the direction of the sound. When they saw the Tainxuan High School uniform on that girl, there was another exclamatory uproar.
“It turns out she’s from Tainxuan High School, no wonder.”
Being stared at by many examinees from Gusu City, Wang Yun just kept a cold face, full of disdain in her heart.
She had long heard that although Gusu City was overall more developed than Lingxi City, the young Beast Masters were much poorer, totally not living up to the scale of Gusu City.
Wang Yun put the Six-eyed Monkey on her shoulder, passed through the detector, and looked at the few classmates causing commotion around, and just laughed softly.
If everything goes as expected, they from Lingxi City will dominate this joint examination..
