“However, our country needs a batch of truly professional beastmasters now. Oh right, there are rewards for this type of fierce beast assessment,” Ming Zhu seemed to have thought of something, “You can freely choose to challenge multiple fierce beasts. They’re all eight-star or nine-star level two beasts, no level three ones.”
“The more you challenge, there’ll be a certain monetary reward. If you can break all the previous challenge records, there’ll be an additional rare reward. That being said…” Ming Zhu cleared her throat, “It’s rare for a beastmaster to choose to challenge the record. It’ll be good enough if you can pass the assessment.”
“Huh?” Wang Ye was stunned, “You should have said so earlier. I’m a little interested in that.”
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t do anything rash. Fighting one fierce beast and fighting many fierce beasts at the same time are two different things!” Ming Zhu reminded him, “You should know that very well, right?”
Wang Ye nodded.
The difference between fierce beasts and pets was that the former would try their best to kill you. Even if they were out of spiritual energy, they would not admit defeat easily. After all, they still had their bodies to fight with.
If one faced many fierce beasts at the same time, it would be even more dangerous.
Fighting a fierce beast in the secret realms was even more difficult!
Secret realms had complicated terrains and were always dangerous. There were even strange gods roaming about. There was a fundamental difference between fighting fierce beasts in secret realms and fighting fierce beasts in locked cages like this.
However, if they could not even pass this assessment, then there was no need to continue on to the subsequent secret realm survival assessment.
At this moment, an uproar suddenly came from afar, attracting the gazes of the two.
In a metal cage in the distance, a beastmaster and her pet could be seen fighting with ease against the three earth demon bees.
The beastmaster was wearing a school uniform with star patterns stitched on it. Her face was beautiful, and her figure was graceful. At this moment, she was holding an icy-blue spear in her hands, and the pet next to her was a wood-type pet that leaned towards support, the flower fairy.
With a tap of the lady’s feet, ice shards appeared, and her body gracefully turned in the air as the extremely sharp ice spear in her hand attacked the three earth demon bees.
“This should be Tianqian University’s freshman last year, Bing Li,” Ming Zhu nodded, “She’s also a fighter, and her talent is in the top ten of the Elemental Talent Sequence, Mystic Ice Control. Control talents in the Elemental Talent Sequence are very strong, and their upper limits are very high. On top of that, it’s not limited to just the elemental form.”
The beastmasters around the metal cage were watching intently as if it was a form of enjoyment.
It was especially so when the lady was fighting. Her robust yet beautiful figure paired with her calm and cold face was indeed a feast to the eyes.
It would even make people forget the difference between them for the time being.
“The flower fairy is quite cute,” Wang Ye took a few glances.
“?” Ming Zhu glanced at him.
What was wrong with this guy?
Everyone was looking at the beautiful lady, but he was the only one looking at the pet?
“Don’t you think it’s pretty?” Wang Ye asked, puzzled, “Among wood-type pets, this flower fairy is so dainty and it’s even wearing a small green cape. It looks like something out of a manga. It can even give pets and beastmasters buffs as well as recover their stamina. Moreover, most of them are obedient, quite to my taste…”
“Chirp, chirp!” Xiao Jiu patted Wang Ye’s shoulder, its wings on its waist.
Was the flower fairy better-looking than it was?
“…” Wang Ye.
“You’re right…” Ming Zhu didn’t know how to refute him.
Soon, the battle ended.
Bing Li was panting heavily, her body drenched in sweat. Her fair skin had also suffered quite some wounds.
The three fierce beasts were on the ground.
“She can only take on three?” Wang Ye clicked his tongue.
“?” Ming Zhu looked at him, “Is three a small number? The earth demon bees are earth-type fierce beasts with amazing defense. To be able to kill three nine-star level 2 fierce beasts is already very impressive, okay? Moreover, she may not have used her full strength yet. With her talent, she should have some very powerful talent skills.”
Wang Ye nodded and asked, “What’s the highest number of fierce beasts someone has tried challenging at the same time in the past professional assessments of Xinghai Province?”
“The highest record was five years ago when someone challenged six fierce beasts in one go,” Ming Zhu said thoughtfully, “He was surrounded and beaten by six fierce beasts. I have a very deep impression of him. His talent was Spatial Vibration of the Spatial Talent Sequence. The most recent successful record was last year, someone challenged five fierce beasts at the same time. His talent was Ancient Warlord of the Heroic Soul Talent Sequence, and his pets were all two-star level two pets. Some rely on their pets, while some rely on themselves.”
“Six…” Wang Ye thought for a moment.
Mm, that’s quite a lot.
“To be honest…” Ming Zhu thought for a moment before saying, “Usually, during the fierce beast combat assessment, most won’t reveal too much of their strength. If one wants to obtain the title of Rookie King, one will have to obtain the highest star rank in the secret realm survival assessment later, as well as obtain first place in all of his professional duels.”
“Therefore, beastmasters who have ambition and sufficient strength will usually reserve a some of their strength during this kind of assessment. Within their limited strength, they will challenge as many fierce beasts as they can. It’s naturally good if they can break the record, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t. If you really want to try for the title of Rookie King, it’s best if you reserve some strength,” Ming Zhu suggested.
“Got it,” Wang Ye nodded and patted Xiao Jiu’s head.
As the assessment continued, Ming Zhu went in for her assessment first.
She challenged herself a little by choosing to challenge a nine-star level 2 fierce beast.
By relying on her Soul Link with the white moon fox, her strength had been greatly enhanced.
On top of that, the white moon fox was a phantom-type pet with quite all-rounded six dimensions. It had strong control abilities as well as attributed skills like Charm, Moonlight Cannon, Illusion Fluctuations, and so on. It could both attack and defend.
