His gaze naturally wandered ahead as his expression changed, “Quick, quick, quick, the third one has already passed, let’s pick up the pace!”
“Okay!” Zhong Hao nodded emphatically, and the two started sprinting at full speed in the wilderness.
…
“Hey! No way~” Ji Yun grinned, her eyes widening as she looked at Lin Su, “Big guy, that’s a Mushroom Force!”
That’s a lower-rank Monarch species, mastering Monarch Power and it’s a combat-type pet, right?!
Her Wind Thunder Eagle might have a chance to defeat it, although it’s just a high-rank Chief species, but since the Wind Thunder Eagle can fly, as long as it flies out of the range of Monarch Power and continuously uses range attacks to wear down the Mushroom Force’s strength, relying on time to slowly exhaust it, there might be a way to defeat it.
But Lin Su’s evolved form of Xue Henqing doesn’t seem to be a flying pet at all, does it?
Battling with a ground-based, close-combat, invincible Monarch species pet that also possesses Super-speed Regeneration?
This is truly courageous!
Just thinking about it made Ji Yun take a sharp intake of cold breath.
If the big guy really wants to throw the match, he might as well give the points to me, at least we are from the same side!
The big guy is confused!
At that moment, such a thought even flashed through her mind.
“Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal,” Lin Su said with a smile.
It’s just a lower-rank Monarch species, the Mushroom Force.
For a flying Qiuqiu, the combat-type’s strong close-combat abilities don’t pose much of a threat.
However, to showcase Qiuqiu’s strength and avoid being incessantly annoyed by applicants who are moderately skilled yet overly confident challenging him one after another, Lin Su doesn’t intend to resolve this battle using an advantageous fighting style.
This battle must be quick and decisive.
As Lin Su unhesitantly accepted the challenge, the passing examinees couldn’t help but be astounded.
Everyone recognized the Mushroom Force, a pet that has only recently started to gain fame. Among the present examiners, even a few had been beaten by the same Mushroom Force and understood its ferocity.
To face such an opponent, Lin Su agreed to the fight without any hesitation?
Was it true confidence, possessing strength enough to win?
Or was he planning to lose deliberately, to earn an hour of protection time for himself?
At this moment, everyone felt they couldn’t quite understand Lin Su.
“Zhang Tong!” Among the crowd of onlookers, a female examinee suddenly turned to another female examinee walking beside her, “I remember you said before that you sat next to Lin Su on the airborne transport, do you know what the strength of his pet is?”
Upon hearing the female examinee’s words, nearby examinees all cast their gaze.
Someone knew Lin Su?
In an instant, they quietly moved a few steps closer to Zhang Tong, all ears.

Feeling the many eyes on her, Zhang Tong somewhat uncomfortably combed back the bangs on her forehead, then nodded, “I was sitting next to Lin Su at the time, and his pet is the one now sitting on his head, he said it’s an evolved form of Xue Henqing.”
“Xue Henqing has an evolved form?”
Everyone was astonished but quickly realized that wasn’t the point.
“What tier is the evolved form of Xue Henqing?” the girl accompanying Zhang Tong immediately followed up, “Is it lower, mid, or high-rank?”
“Someone asked that then.” All the examinees were competitors, Zhang Tong naturally had no intention of keeping secrets for Lin Su, “Lin Su said it’s low-rank.”
“Low-rank?” People nearby who heard this all showed shocked expressions, followed by expressions of regret.
They didn’t doubt Lin Su was lying for the rank of Xue Henqing’s evolved form could be easily verified after the assessment.
Since Lin Su said so, then Xue Henqing’s evolved form must definitely be of a low-rank Chief species.
Low-rank Chief species!
Among the examinees standing here, which of their pets wasn’t stronger than this?
What a hasty mistake, if they had known earlier, they should have challenged straight ahead.
Winning would have been a whopping five thousand plus points!
Now that Lin Su has already accepted the challenge, they had no chance anymore. By the time Lin Su loses, and they want to challenge next, it would be an hour later, and by then half of the points would have been taken by the third-placed Zhang Xiaoyu…
“Why didn’t you say it earlier!” the girl accompanying Zhang Tong was dumbfounded, stamping her foot, “If you had told me sooner, we could have just gone and challenged, right?”
“I…” Zhang Tong opened her mouth, looking somewhat embarrassed, “I saw no one else was going… I didn’t feel it was right to do so either.” frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
“My good sister!” the female examinee couldn’t help but both cry and laugh, “Why did you fail to step up at such a crucial moment!”
“I…” Zhang Tong looked down at her own toes, “my bad on this one.”
As the two female examinees were conversing, the news that Lin Su’s pet was an evolved form of Xue Henqing but only of a low-rank Chief tier spread like the wind among all the examinees.
For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Su with somewhat odd expressions.
Had everyone been too cautious?
Did Lin Su agree to the challenge knowing he couldn’t beat anyone?
Then how on earth did he accumulate over ten thousand points?!
Unmindful of the looks from others, and unaware of what everyone was thinking at this moment, Lin Su stepped forward until he was about thirty meters away from Zhang Xiaoyu and smiled, “We can start now.”
“Wait a minute!”
“Stop!”
Two figures, along with beams of light, sprinted toward them; the sounds just now were from these two.
Watching Zhao Tianchen and Zhong Hao running over breathlessly, Lin Su took on a strange expression, “What’s up with you two now?”
