Next, Shi Yu crammed for another noon.

In the afternoon, he carried his beloved little backpack and headed to the examination hall.

Inside the Beast Taming Space, Eleven was raring to go.

Buggy conjured up a "striving" headband, determined to ace the exam.

Because Shi Yu had said that if they didn't pass the written exam this year, they wouldn't do anything for the next year.

They would just do test papers together for a year and wait for next year's assessment.

"Ying..." "Ji..." Eleven and Buggy were frightened by this.

If they had known Shi Yu was so ruthless, they would have worked harder when doing the questions!

...

The written exam was scheduled to start at 2 PM and would last for 150 minutes. Candidates could submit their papers early.

When Shi Yu arrived outside the examination room, the other examinees who had already arrived immediately looked at Shi Yu, their gazes like flashlights, almost blinding him.

Their gazes seemed to say, "Big shot, please carry us!"

Shi Yu: "..."

It was still the same group of people from the No. 10 venue in the morning.

Even the invigilators were the same three as in the morning.

But why were they looking at him… If it were the third assessment, the wilderness trial, he might be able to carry the other examinees and rampage, but this written exam, he really couldn't carry them, he couldn't…

He could barely save himself. If anyone wanted to cheat, they definitely shouldn't look at his answers. Otherwise, they should pray for their own good fortune.

"Everyone, go in. Take your seats according to your seat numbers."

Shi Yu arrived at the right time. At this moment, the chief invigilator, Zhuang Ping, stood outside the door and said to the examinees waiting outside.

Shi Yu directly entered the examination room.

"The place is quite big."

The examination room was modified from a battle room, and it could accommodate hundreds of people without any problem. After Shi Yu found his seat, he looked at the mechanical life form responsible for monitoring on the ceiling, fell into thought, and had a bit of a headache.

This feeling was so familiar.

It felt like he was back in high school… Not a particularly good memory. He would rather take Eleven and Buggy to challenge a young dragon again.

"If there's a legendary Beast Tamer from ancient times who received relatively little information, and they encounter a modern, scholarly legendary Beast Tamer, who would have a better chance of winning in a fight?" Shi Yu took out his pen and was curious about this question.

How much strength could these pet knowledge actually improve a Beast Tamer?

Mastering it would definitely improve the Beast Tamer's strength, but quantifying exactly how much was worth considering.

Moreover, did ancient Beast Taming civilizations have anything special…?

Generally speaking, no matter what civilization it was, it would basically become more and more developed.

However, the history of this world was a bit strange. There was a mythical era that touched the origin of the world and its rules.

In that era, mythical creatures were active, and these mythical creatures mastered various rules of power, undoubtedly the strongest.

And the Totem Era and the Beast Taming Era also had countless breaks, hiding many secrets. For example, the tribe that mastered the two-stage evolution of Iron Eating Beasts seemed outrageously strong.

If there was a pet that could travel through time, it would be great to take him to see the ancient times…

"Now, we will distribute the papers. Everyone, please check the papers for any problems and then fill in the information."

While Shi Yu was daydreaming, the exam time arrived, and the three invigilators began to distribute the papers.

The first thing Shi Yu did when he got the test paper was not to fill in the information, but to read the questions!

He could tentatively ignore the easy political and historical questions. The main thing was to see if he had bet on the common pet essay questions…

"As expected, there's an essay question about Green Silkworms. This wave is stable!"

"No one understands Green Silkworms better than me—"

...

At this time, in a conference room of the Ancient Capital City Beast Tamer Association, nine Master-level Beast Tamers took their seats one after another.

They were the invigilators for the subsequent two assessments.

The first two tests of the professional assessment were to screen out a group of unqualified examinees. The real assessment actually started from the third level.

"According to the association's requirements, we have a task next, which is to combine the results of the first and third levels and select 16 key seed examinees. There will be special arrangements for them during the final assessment ranking battle."

Among the nine Master-level Beast Tamers, the only middle-aged man with the title of Top-level Beast Tamer, Qu Jie, the general person in charge of this Ancient Capital City professional assessment, said.

"Currently, the basic test data from each test center has been summarized. Let's analyze it together."

After speaking, he pressed the remote control, and the names of 50 people, pet names, and some numerical values were displayed on the large screen in the conference room.

"This is sorted from highest to lowest according to the energy value detected in the basic test."

"Next, we will select 16 key seed examinees from here."

After Qu Jie finished speaking, the Master-level invigilators nodded and looked at the screen.

Immediately afterward, the first piece of information stunned them.

1. Yin Zhengfan.

Beast Taming Space Level: Level Two.

Tested Pet: Low-level Monarch Race, Transcendent Rock Mane Behemoth.

Energy Value: 3991 points.

"Is the son of Legend Yin really participating in this assessment???"

In the seat, a bald Master opened his mouth in surprise.

"It seems so. He contracted a Monarch Race pet at the age of 12. It's outrageous!"

When these Masters saw this surname, this unscientific pet race, and this unscientific energy value, they were immediately stunned.

Legend Yin had really invested heavily in this son!

He had successfully contracted a Monarch Race pet before becoming a professional Beast Tamer. It seemed that this young Yin Zhengfan perfectly inherited his father's Beast Taming Space strengthening talent!

"This little guy is indeed remarkable." Qu Jie nodded. It was said that in addition to Ancient Capital University, the other eight top universities had also contacted Legend Yin early on, hoping to have his son study and advance there.

After the professional assessment, the nine major universities would definitely invest heavily to compete for this young Yin Zhengfan…

This Yin Zhengfan's talent was indeed terrifying. He was also very curious about what the outside world would react if the first place in this year's Ancient Capital City assessment was taken by a 12-year-old boy.

In short, facing this information, the invigilators couldn't think of any other description other than outrageous. Yin Zhengfan's son definitely had a place among the 16 key seed examinees.

2. Zhang Qianyi

Beast Taming Space Level: Level Three.

Tested Pet: High-level Commander Race, Transcendent Thundercloud Sprite.

Energy Value: 3567.

Many invigilators were familiar with the second name.

This girl was a genius from a small city, and even her parents were not Beast Tamers.

However, she had awakened an extremely powerful Beast Taming talent, Elemental Coordination.

The perverted thing about this talent was that it could ignore energy interlacing and assist pets in forming powerful combination skills with different element types and attributes.

For example, combination skills of lightning and fire, light and darkness, would not only not have problems, but also form an effect of one plus one being greater than two!

This was actually her second time participating in the professional assessment. She failed to pass when she came to Ancient Capital to participate in the professional assessment for the first time.

However, she used this stage to let a top Master with similar talent see her talent and take her in as a disciple to nurture.

In a year, it seemed that she had not only broken through her Beast Taming Space level compared to last year, but also contracted a more powerful pet.

Without a doubt, this was definitely a candidate who needed to be paid attention to. In fact, she had already reached the standard of an Intermediate Beast Tamer.

Professional Beast Tamers were divided into three titles: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.

The standards for Beginner and Intermediate were actually in Beast Taming Space level and combat experience. Pets were basically still Transcendent.

It was not until the Advanced title that Beast Tamers needed to have a pet with a Commander-level growth level.

3. Miao Dongdong

Beast Taming Space Level: Level Two.

Tested Pet: High-level Super Race, Transcendent Parasitic Gu.

Energy Value: 3294.

This year's candidates had indeed given these Master invigilators too many surprises.

"What's going on with this person…?"

"This Miao Xiaodong is a Gu Master, or rather, a Gu Magician."

"This Parasitic Gu parasitizes a low-level Monarch Race Emerald Tree Python," Qu Jie said.

Gu Masters and Gu Magicians, like Dragon Tamers, Mechanics, Plant Controllers, Psychics, and Elementalists, were all branch titles of Beast Tamers.

However, Gu Magicians were too niche. One might not be found among 10,000 Beast Tamers. The requirements for Beast Taming talent and breeding methods were extremely high, and they were basically passed down in families.

High-level Super Race, Parasitic Gu. This Gu worm was not powerful, but it was also very powerful.

It could parasitize the corpses of other dead pets, occupying the magpie's nest, similar to seizing a body.

The current Miao Xiaodong, who was ranked third in the basic test energy value, his Gu worm had controlled a dead Monarch Race pet cub to obtain this result.

The Masters nodded, and then guessed the origin of this Miao Dongdong.

There were so few Gu worm Masters in the Dong Huang Ancient Kingdom, and even fewer powerful Gu worm Masters. They didn't know where he came from…

4. Shi Yu

Beast Taming Space Level: Level Two.

Tested Pet: Intermediate Super Race, Iron Eating Beast.

Energy Value: 3186.

Master Invigilators: ???

"What… is this situation?"

They could understand the first three people.

One was because of Beast Taming talent, contracting a Monarch Race pet in advance.

One was because he had accumulated strength and made a comeback. His own level was high.

One was because of the specialty of Gu Masters, but what was this fourth one… Who was he?

"He…" As the general person in charge of this professional assessment, Qu Jie had more information than the invigilators.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Shi Yu's profile picture.

"He is the designated candidate for the Archaeology Department of Ancient Capital University. It is said that he just cracked an ancient ruin a few months ago and discovered the evolution method of Iron Eating Beasts. This news has not yet spread. After the Iron Eating Beast evolves, it has Monarch potential. This Iron Eating Beast seems to have awakened part of its evolutionary bloodline and is also very unusual."

"And I heard that in addition to that ancient Iron Eating Beast ruin, he also cracked a trial-type ruin in his hometown. He is a genius in the archaeological world."

The Master archaeologists present were shocked. So that was the case.

These archaeologists were not simple either. After all, there were countless opportunities in those ancient ruins.

This Shi Yu was also worth paying attention to. He might not be much worse than those in front.

5. Yu Shu

Beast Taming Space Level: Level Two.

Tested Pet: High-level Commander Race, Ghost Bone Young Dragon.

Energy Value: 2999.

Everyone was familiar with this candidate.

This candidate's parents were both top Beast Tamers in Ancient Capital. He perfectly inherited his parents' talent and had good attainments in dragon taming and spirit taming.

The Ghost Bone Young Dragon was a race formed from the bones of dragons after death. It was not an orthodox dragon race, and unless it evolved, it would always be in the form of a young dragon, so its race level was low.

But even so, it was very powerful compared to ordinary candidates.

If the invigilators remembered correctly, this Yu Shu also contracted a Commander Race dragon soul. After the bone dragon and dragon soul fused, it might not be worse than a Monarch Race pet. The dragon bone and dragon soul already possessed most of the dragon's power.

Qu Jie said, "The selection of key seed examinees should not only combine the results of the basic test, but also the other pet of the examinee and their own Beast Taming talent."

"After all, the results of one pet cannot represent anything at present."

"Understood!" The invigilators nodded.

This year's professional assessment… was going to be interesting. At least, looking at the top five Beast Tamers in the basic test, none of them were easy to deal with.

...

At the same time, in the examination hall, Shi Yu fell into deep thought.

If he was in the wild and he and his pet were exposed to the venom of the Floating Poison Spider, what should he do?

Eleven's high-speed healing didn't seem to work. It only worked for general injuries.

He wondered if adding points to a higher level would work? If Superb didn't work, would max level have some detoxification effect?

Shi Yu's thoughts ran wild.

However, obviously, this was definitely not the correct answer… The correct answer was to have the Beast Tamer find a way through other natural resources in the wild.

What plants around could detoxify this poison…?

"You two are not helpful." Shi Yu had a dark expression.

Eleven and Buggy: Damn it, why did we have to be exposed to this venom? Couldn't we just kill the other party instantly before being exposed?

Currently, Shi Yu had answered most of the paper.

He answered fairly smoothly, but there were still some questions that Shi Yu couldn't figure out even after racking his brains.

But from this situation, it could only be like this. He had to pass!

...

The 150 minutes passed quickly.

A bunch of people submitted their papers early, but not Shi Yu. He dawdled until the end.

After collecting the papers, Shi Yu instinctively wanted to do something…

For example, compare answers with his classmates.

However, he didn't seem to know anyone.

"Forget it, the results will be released tomorrow. There should be answers online later, right?"

"I'll just go directly to check the correct answers."

Following the crowd, Shi Yu quickly left the Lotus Lake test center, not giving the young ladies in the same exam room a chance to ask for his phone number, and then he sighed.

The most difficult stage was finally over, whether he passed or not. If all went well, he should be able to participate in the third assessment the day after tomorrow. That would be easy.

Having experience in the Tianmang Mountain wilderness training, Shi Yu was very confident in the third assessment. No matter how the test takers suppressed Eleven, he felt that he could still rampage.

Iron Eating Beast Research Institute.

Because the next assessment was the day after tomorrow, Shi Yu would definitely return here.

Inside the research institute, Panda Senior obviously knew that Shi Yu would return after the exam in the afternoon, but seeing Shi Yu's unhappy mood, she immediately understood that he had failed?

"Fight again next year?" She asked carefully.

"It's not that bad." Shi Yu had a dark expression. Although he answered many questions incorrectly, he would definitely pass the minimum mark.

He had already checked the correct answers in the taxi just now.

The problem was big, but not too big. It was an in-between feeling.

"Then why do you look so sad?" Panda Senior laughed.

Shi Yu: "I misread a question and lost 5 points for nothing…"

He put on a mask of pain.

Panda Senior smiled and said, "Don't think too much. It's good as long as you pass the written test. Where can you find a superman who has a high Beast Taming level, a strong pet, and good written test results? Most people are just aiming to pass."

"Oh, Junior is back!!"

While Panda Senior was comforting Shi Yu, at this time, the Seven Heroes of Archaeology didn't know where they had just returned from. When they saw Shi Yu, their eyes lit up.

"Junior Shi Yu, we heard that your Iron Eating Beast's energy value reached more than 3,000 points!!!"

"Awesome."

"This wave is taking off. Top ten is definitely hopeful!!"

Shi Yu was stunned and said, "Your news is quite well-informed."

Zheng Yingjie laughed and said, "After all, there are so many people watching the basic test. One or two outrageous values spread quickly."

"Do you still remember Yu Shu that we told you about before, and the son of Legend Yin?"

"That Yu Shu's Ghost Bone Young Dragon seems to be close to 3,000. Your Iron Eating Beast is powerful. It's a bit stronger than a dragon of the same level!"

Everyone had some expectations for Eleven's strength. After all, Perfect Hardening, Proficient Size Enlargement, Proficient Thunder Palm, and it had awakened the evolutionary bloodline. No joke, it couldn't be weak!

However, although they had expectations, these data, which were comparable to those of a Monarch pet cub, still surprised them a little.

It hadn't evolved yet. What would happen when it evolved?

Shi Yu didn't care about this. After all, Eleven had even fought the Frost Dragon phantom.

He was more curious about the twelve-year-old kid.

"Did that twelve-year-old really participate in the assessment?"

Senior Lin Yuer said, "Not only did he participate, but his basic test results are currently the highest. He seems to have contracted a Monarch Race cub. His energy value is close to 4,000."

"It is said that he is a handsome little loli. I wonder if I have a chance to be his senior, alas, auntie's girlish heart."

"Bah, loli con."

The other six heroes looked at her with disdain.

"Is that so." Shi Yu was stunned, and his heart skipped a beat.

Monarch Race cub?

Damn, there really was one.

The energy value was so much higher than Eleven's…

He probably also mastered a super skill. He just didn't know how proficient he was in other skills, including other skills.

"I feel like it's not that stable to get first place." Shi Yu fell into thought.

However, if the other party had the Beast Taming Space strengthening talent, Shi Yu wouldn't suffer much in battle.

Unlike Beast Tamers with strengthening-type talents, they could still amplify their pets in battle.

After those Beast Tamers with strengthening talents amplified their pets, the proficiency of the pets' skills could directly approach proficiency, which would be very difficult to deal with.

"Where's Curator Lin?" Shi Yu asked Panda Senior.

"Something happened and she went back to Pingcheng. What's wrong?" Panda Senior said.

"Nothing…" Shi Yu nodded. Then it was fine.

He had been struggling with whether to copy the Impregnable skill. After all, there were only five pages in the skill index at present.

Instead of copying this skill first, he actually wanted to keep one hand open and see if he had a chance to encounter other rare skills first. After all, Impregnable couldn't run away. He could copy it sooner or later.

Moreover, to be honest, the Impregnable skill didn't improve Eleven much at present.

Unless he added points to the proficiency level or higher, but that would definitely be too late in terms of time and energy. There was no need.

Eleven was fine in its current state. With the mastery of an ultimate skill, it might not be impossible to fight a Monarch Race pet.

"Now that Junior Shi Yu has finished the exam and is resting tomorrow, why don't we go out for a meal tonight?" Senior Wang Le suggested.

Everyone looked at Shi Yu.

Shi Yu: "I'm fine with anything. I'm okay with anything."

...

On the first day of the professional assessment, Ancient Capital City was in turmoil.

Almost all the local forums were discussing this year's professional assessment.

Those with high energy values in the basic test were naturally the focus of discussion.

Of course, in addition to discussing the local assessment situation, some were also discussing the assessment situations in other cities.

After all, Ancient Capital City's Beast Taming level was not very high among the nine first-tier cities.

Places like the capital where the Beast Tamer Association headquarters were located would only gather more outrageous second-generation officials.

But these had nothing to do with Shi Yu. Shi Yu had already enjoyed a good meal and then returned to sleep and rest, entering a dream.

The next day.

After Shi Yu opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to take out his phone and open the score checking website.

After entering his name and test number, the page refreshed, and Shi Yu's heart stopped.

Name: Shi Yu

Test Number: gd1464

Score: 250

It was nearly 10 points higher than the estimated score. In the case of a full score of 300, this score was mediocre. After all, the professional assessment had high requirements for the written test. Passing was not calculated at 60%.

But…

"Are you scolding me?"

Shi Yu was speechless. How could this score feel a bit sarcastic?

"Heh."

Forget it, it was good as long as he passed. He was happy today.

Shi Yu entered the relic space with a smile and went to find Yingying Bear and Jijicong to announce the good news.

However, as soon as he arrived here, Shi Yu was even more speechless.

"What are you doing???"

Here, Eleven and Buggy didn't know what they had researched with their phones. Buggy directly transformed into a pair of metal wings and installed them on both sides of Eleven's body, connected by Superb Hardening.

At this time, Eleven was swaying and flying in the low altitude with a serious expression.

It couldn't fly stably at all.

"Ying."

"Ji!"

What were they doing? They were climbing into the sky!

Eleven decided to try the 10,000-meter high-altitude drop training method. It was all about excitement.

At that time, it would Harden its whole body, and Buggy would throw it down from 10,000 meters in the air. Using gravity to accelerate and hit the enemy, how could it not be considered a super skill?

After hearing Shi Yu say that he might study double battles in the future, Eleven and Buggy didn't rest either and thought about it.

The current one was the Ying Ji Sky Tactics they had researched!

It could be used for both training and battle. Perfect!

"You guys are really smart…" Shi Yu looked at the several big pits on the ground and twitched his eyes. Could you please control this tactic well and ensure that you don't hit your own Beast Tamer? Oh, he had Void Shuttle, so it was fine.
