Youngling stage?
He had thought it was the elite stage, how disappointing.
A youngling stage·leader species could only earn 20 points, but if it was of the elite stage, it would yield 100 points.
What’s more, if it was just a youngling stage beast, he wouldn’t have needed to be so cautious just now; with Qiuqiu’s current strength, a direct confrontation would have ensured that the beast couldn’t escape.
In the face of the Mimic Forest Snake’s clumsy attack, Qiuqiu appeared extremely relaxed. Under the watchful eyes of Frost Eyes, the snake’s movements, swift as lightning, seemed as slow as a snail’s crawl. Every action was crystal clear, with even the fierce opening of its mouth and the details of its two sharp venomous fangs visible.
Soon, Qiuqiu moved.
It extended a claw, with an ice-blue precision, and pressed it onto the Mimic Forest Snake’s vital spot. Under the sudden burst of chill from the Ice Palm, the ferocious Mimic Forest Snake instantly turned into an ice sculpture, its curving body and open mouth forever fixed in place.
With the jade token earned for passing the level, that’s 30 points secured.
Lin Su looked up at the sky with a bit of concern, wondering if the artificial Supernatural Intelligence had seen the kill of the Mimic Forest Snake and those 20 points.
Or maybe…
He picked up the Mimic Forest Snake’s body that had fallen to the ground and lifted it above his head to shake it.
That should make it clear, right?
…
Inside Mountain City University, the tens of thousands of images transmitted back in real-time by the artificial Supernatural Intelligence, every examinee’s every move was under the watchful eyes of the teachers in the monitoring room.
If any examinee in a certain area faced a life-threatening danger but was unable to call for a security teacher in time, those teachers responsible for monitoring could promptly signal for the teachers maintaining order at the site to rush to the rescue.
“Pfft.”
At a certain moment, a female teacher couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Does Lin Su think too little of the artificial Supernatural Intelligence? Is he afraid we wouldn’t know, shaking the beast twice after killing it?”
This teacher, surnamed Li, was responsible for several hundred screens, one of which just so happened to show Lin Su. As someone who had helped Mountain City University achieve glory in the beast breeding competition before even enrolling, Lin Su was well known by many faculty members. Therefore, compared to other examinees, Lin Su’s screen naturally received more attention from Teacher Li.
And at this moment, she just witnessed Lin Su’s humorous act.
“Teacher Li, do you have Lin Su’s screen?”
A voice suddenly appeared behind Teacher Li. She turned to look at the short-haired woman who had appeared behind her with her arms crossed, and with a smile said, “Teacher Qin, did Lin Su apply for the research department when he enrolled? With a third-tier Snow Trace, I can’t help wanting to poach him.”
“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” Qin Nan said with a smile that was not quite a smile, glancing at the screen where Lin Su was wandering around. “Lin Su has already been claimed by our research department, and he himself wants to apply for the research department.”
“All right then,” sighed Teacher Li. “But could we borrow this kid for joint university training in a few months? His guardian beast already possesses a third-tier skill at the elite stage, and it’s of the monarch breed. That kind of strength is rare even in Jinghua University’s combat department. It would be a pity to have him shut up in a research institute all day.”
“We’ll see when the time comes,” said Qin Nan, raising her eyebrows. “He was attacked by the Cult of Beasts not long ago. Currently, being near Immortal Country can attract the hostility of beasts and cult members, as the Cult of Beasts inside Immortal Country is far more active than within the Alliance.”
“Not to mention joint university training, if it wasn’t for the fact that participating in military training is a mandatory requirement for learning Guardian Beast Co-operation, I would even suggest he skip the military training three days from now,” shrugged Qin Nan. “I can’t decide for him, so you’ll have to talk to him when the time comes.”
“The Cult of Beasts, huh…” Upon hearing this topic, Teacher Li also couldn’t help but clench her teeth. “Such damned things.”
“Then we’ll talk about it when the time comes,” she said, shaking her head, no longer mentioning getting Lin Su to participate in the so-called joint university training.
With those madmen around, security is indeed a concern.
If the attention on Lin Su decreases in a few months, maybe they could talk to him about it. If by then Lin Su is still closely watched by the Cult of Beasts as he is now, then it’s better not to let him participate in the joint university training.
“Huh?” Teacher Li’s gaze returned to the screen, her expression becoming somewhat odd. “Lin Su’s luck… is really something else.” Continue your saga on freewebnovel
“Hmm…” Qin Nan smiled as she glanced at Lin Su’s situation on the screen. “It’s not a big problem.”
…
“Cold Frost Dream Domain!”
Watching the approaching beast from afar, Lin Su signaled Qiuqiu to attack with Telepathy.
It was a beast covered in an incredibly solid rocky exoskeleton, with a gigantic horn on its head that was almost as long as its body, split and spiky, and its hoofs were as thick as pillars. As it ran, it brought a thunderous rumble, shaking the ground fiercely even from a hundred meters away, and made Lin Su feel the dramatic quaking of the earth.
An earth-elemental medium monarch breed, the Trampling Rock Rhinoceros.
Seeing the intimidating momentum of the charging beast and its size, it was clear that the creature in front of him had surpassed the youngling stage and reached the elite stage.
The Trampling Rock Rhinoceros had exceptionally strong defense and strength, and its core ability, Earth’s Might, allowed it to continuously draw on earthen power for combat, providing endless stamina for prolonged battles. Both its offense and defense were particularly formidable. In Shenwu, the Trampling Rock Rhinoceros was even a favorite guardian beast among many Beast Tamers.
