The third round of assessment ended, followed by a short break.

Both the audience and the examinees could go find something to eat.

Shi Yu quietly stared at the small TV, now there was the final match.

Yin Zhengfan vs. Ji Ke.

Ji Ke was that oddly dressed seed examinee, wearing attire similar to ancient martial arts costumes.

Her strength was also good. Her two pets followed a technical style. For example, her Water Blade Mantis used the Water Blade skill as its core, creating a dazzling blade technique. Unfortunately, she met Yin Zhengfan.

Yin Zhengfan's Rocarock Beast used Intimidation, and the Air Crystal Butterfly used Spatial Shackles, directly taking away her two pets.

Yin Zhengfan's Rocarock Beast also mastered Intimidation, but when Yin Zhengfan displayed it, no one was surprised.

Earlier, there was a Green Silk Worm that could master Dragon Might, and a mid-level transcendent species, Iron Eating Beast, that could master proficient Intimidation. It was too scientific for a Rocarock Beast, a monarch-level species pet, to awaken king-level aptitude.

"Technical style is good, but it needs strength to support it."

After watching the battle, Shi Yu had this one feeling: it was indeed quite flashy under the same combat power, but it immediately became useless when encountering a master.

Letting Eleven use continuous Thunder Palm to perform a set of gorgeous palm techniques was far inferior to directly using Enlargement + Thunder Palm to strike with all its might, simple and efficient.

"That Thundercloud Sprite knows Thunder, and this Rocarock Beast knows Intimidation, both are not easy to deal with."

Eleven and Worm silently ate their food, not wanting to listen to their Beast Tamer's Versailles.

Not easy to deal with meant not being able to kill in one hit, so it was indeed not easy to deal with.

"Fortunately, Yin Zhengfan didn't contract too many pets—"

Shi Yu got up and stretched his body. Yin Zhengfan's talent was Beast Taming Space Enhancement. In theory, he could contract four pets now, but because he had become a Beast Tamer for too short a time, he couldn't cultivate them all. Currently, he had only contracted two.

If he had contracted his full capacity, Shi Yu and the others would be under great pressure.

"I'll go order a boxed lunch." Shi Yu said to Eleven and Worm.

Although they had eaten a bunch of snacks and tonics in the room, they still had to eat lunch.

"(￣▽￣)～■□～(￣▽￣) Eeeng!" "Ji!!" Eleven and Worm raised their cups to see him off.

...

Ancient Capital Arena.

With the end of the third round of assessment, only a few scattered people remained here.

It was lunchtime, and both the contestants and the audience needed to eat.

This time, Shi Yu held a boxed lunch and quietly sat on the high platform. Taking advantage of the few people, he looked down at the field from the perspective of the audience and other examinees.

Looking at himself on the field from this angle must be very cool.

"It's bland..." Shi Yu finished the last bite of his boxed lunch and was about to get up and go back to wait for the afternoon battle to begin when his phone suddenly rang.

The caller was Senior Panda.

"What's up?" Shi Yu answered the phone.

"Where are you? The review passed!"

Referring to the Iron Eating Beast's evolved form.

"Just now, my father's side and Director Li's side have all received the news!"

On the other end of the phone was Lin Xiuzhu's excited tone.

Shi Yu smiled slightly. Although he already knew, he still said, "Really?"

"Yes, check the time. It will be announced on Dong Huang Net at 13:00 this afternoon!"

Dong Huang Net was the official media of Dong Huang Ancient Kingdom, the most formal information website.

Shi Yu glanced at the time. It was currently 12:30, which meant in half an hour?

At the same time, it was also the time when the first match of the afternoon assessment began.

Him vs. Zhang Qianyi.

"Looking forward to it..."

Shi Yu said, looking at the time.

"Then I have to show off a few tricks, and then take the opportunity to do a live advertisement after the battle..."

There were so many big shots present, maybe he could get some investment.

Now, Shi Yu and Senior Panda's Zhushi Martial Arts Center and Iron Eating Beast Breeding Base were in a win-win cooperation state.

The Iron Eating Beast Breeding Base cultivated and bred Iron Eating Beasts.

Zhushi Martial Arts Center taught and cultivated methods for Iron Eating Beasts.

Senior Panda's other industries planted Iron Eating Beast-related food resources.

He was the chief evolution planner for Iron Eating Beasts and the spokesperson for Pingcheng Iron Eating Beast Breeding Base.

He could completely arrange Beast Tamers who wanted to cultivate Iron Eating Beasts clearly.

Master Lin had almost been begging Shi Yu to technically invest in their family industry every day.

As the chief evolution planner for Iron Eating Beasts, whichever Iron Eating Beast Breeding Base he became the spokesperson for would become the orthodox symbol.

Behind it represented huge benefits. Master Lin, who had spent hundreds of millions on Iron Eating Beast evolution, was counting on Shi Yu to save his life.

And Shi Yu, facing Master Lin's enthusiastic request, did he have a choice?

"So the current situation is, the richer Senior Panda's family is, the richer I am."

"Not to mention anything else, Eleven's food will definitely be taken care of."

Shi Yu sighed. This shouldn't count as being a kept man, right?

He also played a big role.

However, since this was the case, he had to think of a way to revitalize the Pingcheng breeding base, no, the entire Pingcheng economy.

After all, Lin Xiuzhu's family's industry had always been closely related to the Pingcheng economy, belonging to a semi-official and semi-family nature.

Speaking of which, if he cracked the Ice Dragon Ruins, he could obtain the Encyclopedia and a new advanced relic space.

He just didn't know what use the relic bead in his hand would have when cracking the relic, and whether it could be retained afterwards.

If it could be retained, its best use had already appeared.

Through this relic bead, turning the entire Pingcheng into the largest Iron Eating Beast breeding base, the panda hometown of Dong Huang Ancient Kingdom, mainly planting a large number of Iron Eating Beast-related spiritual plants. In the future, as Iron Eating Beasts possessed monarch-level and overlord-level species, Icefield City might be able to become a first-tier city by this.

There were quite a few cities that had truly developed by taking advantage of the light of special pets.

After returning, he had to discuss it carefully with Old Feng and Old Lin to maximize the use of the relic bead.

The premise was that this relic bead would not be scrapped when cracking the Ice Dragon Ruins—God bless, huh, wait, after the Ice Dragon Ruins space was cracked, would there be new relics...

Shi Yu fell into deep thought, suddenly understanding why the Eleventh Bureau had so many relic beads to distribute.

...

January 10th.

Afternoon.

The Ancient Capital Arena became lively again.

Many examinees and spectators who had eaten lunch returned to the arena one after another, preparing to watch the afternoon assessment.

"Although I didn't pass this year's assessment, I've gained some knowledge. Being transcendent-level pets, other people's pets can be so strong, damn it." In the audience, an examinee complained.

"You're okay, I've been gaining knowledge for three years. My Beast Taming Space has been upgraded to level three, and I still can't pass the third survival assessment..."

"Bro, it's okay, let's work hard together in the next assessment."

"QAQ Yeah, let's encourage each other!"

Various discussions came from all over the venue. The most discussion was about the upcoming top four promotion battle.

Iron Eating Beast Knight, tactical genius, prank master Shi Yu vs. elementalist Zhang Qianyi, who had a higher chance of winning?

"This time, Shi Yu should finally be sanctioned!"

Many people thought this in their hearts.

It wasn't that Shi Yu was particularly hateable, it was just that he was a bit out of place, making many Beast Tamers secretly unconvinced that they were inferior to such a guy...

Could it be that being chuunibyou was the correct way to become a powerful Beast Tamer? They didn't believe it! Unless Shi Yu could take first place, then they would reluctantly try to follow suit.

"Zhang Qianyi's Beast Taming talent is stronger. Compared to Shi Yu's rumored telepathy talent, she is obviously better. But how did Shi Yu, with a telepathy talent, cultivate his pets so strongly..."

"In terms of pets, Zhang Qianyi's Beast Taming Space level has reached level three. Not to mention the strength of her pets, she at least wins in number. Moreover, Zhang Qianyi can perfectly coordinate their power into one, which is another advantage."

Ordinary examinees were analyzing, and masters were also analyzing. This battle... the situation was hard to say.

Although Zhang Qianyi had hope of defeating Shi Yu, Shi Yu also had a great chance of defeating Zhang Qianyi.

The promotional video had edited out the Iron Eating Beast's Thunder Palm and Hardening's profound skill.

And this profound skill, in the video, was too short in duration due to the opponent being too weak, only lasting for a moment, so the power displayed was not obvious.

Now, the only point of doubt for these masters was how the Iron Eating Beast's coordination ability was, whether it could truly control the profound skill, and to what extent it could control it.

This might be the most important deciding factor in this battle.

Because, no matter how strong Zhang Qianyi's combination skill was, it only belonged to the category of combination skills, which were things that professional Beast Tamers played with.

And profound skills were another field, the unique skills of masters.

"Doo doo—" After the images of Shi Yu and Zhang Qianyi were displayed on the big screen, Master Qujie blew his whistle to signal the two examinees to come on stage.

He couldn't see his expression, but he was very curious about what tricks Shi Yu would pull off this time.

Zhang Qianyi was a very orthodox battle-type Beast Tamer. Facing a beautiful girl, Shi Yu wouldn't be pulling off any pranks, right?

Let's have a normal battle! Leave a good impression on the girl! Don't learn from Yu Shu from the previous match!

Master Qujie didn't know why he was worrying about the young people.

A moment later, Shi Yu walked out from the examinee channel.

Still so handsome and dashing.

"Junior Shi Yu, go for it!!!"

In the Gu Du University viewing area, the Archaeological Seven Heroes cheered for Shi Yu.

If this year's top scorer could become a freshman in the archaeology department, the archaeology department would definitely be very prosperous in the coming year!

Shi Yu represented their future!

After Shi Yu stepped onto the stage, opposite him, Zhang Qianyi also stepped onto the stage at the same time.

To be honest, the cheers for her seemed to be even louder.

Girls might not cheer for Shi Yu, but male examinees would definitely cheer for Zhang Qianyi. Standing on the stage, Shi Yu only felt the reality of the world.

"That's... a sword hilt?"

"You brought a sword?"

After coming up, Zhang Qianyi observed Shi Yu and saw that he had a lightsaber hilt-like object hanging on his waist, and her expression froze.

Could it be...

Could it be that this time, Shi Yu's battle with her would be another prank like the survival trial?

She was on stage, wasn't he afraid of being struck to death by lightning!

She couldn't guarantee Shi Yu's safety.

"Damn, Shi Yu seems to have brought a sword."

"What does that mean? Is he going to control the sword to overcome the lightning tribulation?"

Many spectators also noticed that Shi Yu was carrying a prop with him and were surprised.

"No." Shi Yu said, "This is just an umbrella. Your Thundercloud Sprite's Rain Prayer range is too big, I don't want to become a drowned rat like Yu Shu."

Zhang Qianyi: ???

Master Qujie: ???

The audience, including Yu Shu: ???

"Doo doo—" Master Qujie's face darkened and he immediately blew his whistle to signal the start of the match.

Stop chatting, stop chatting, fight!

This was a professional assessment, not a stand-up comedy show!

As the whistle sounded, both Zhang Qianyi and Shi Yu immediately summoned their pets.

Zhang Qianyi's summoning array appeared in the sky, while Shi Yu's summoning array appeared on the ground.

The figures of the Thundercloud Sprite, Fire Sprite, and Wind Sprite, as well as the figures of the little Iron Eating Beast and the Green Silk Worm, appeared on the stage in an instant!

Boom!!!

The moment it appeared, the Thundercloud Sprite, like a black thundercloud, activated the Thunder skill, with electric light surging inside!

A deafening sound immediately spread throughout the venue, causing many examinees to cover their ears and tremble inwardly.

However, the main target of this sound's intimidation was the little Iron Eating Beast standing on the stage and the Green Silk Worm on its head!

At this moment, with a "boom," rain clouds immediately appeared above the field. The rain clouds condensed almost instantly, raindrops fell, the sky was pitch black, and the sound of thunder rumbled.

"Aww!" "Ji!!!" Seeing that the opponent had preemptively used the Intimidation skill, Eleven and Worm's double Intimidation also erupted suddenly!!

Although the Thundercloud Sprite's energy value was still above Eleven's, Eleven's Intimidation proficiency was higher, and there was also a Worm to assist!

Boom!

Substantial momentum intimidated people, causing the raindrops to distort and annihilate in mid-air. At this time, the intimidation collision of the three sprites on the field could be clearly felt even by the examinees outside the field... it was extremely terrifying!

With a "bang," as if the air collided with each other, the entire arena was enveloped in two huge auras. Between the momentum collisions, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in mid-air. However, after a moment of collision, the intimidation power of Thunder was quickly suppressed. Zhang Qianyi's expression did not change, and she did not expect Thundercloud Sprite's Thunder to defeat the little Iron Eating Beast's Intimidation. As long as it could withstand it, it would be considered a victory.

Their trump card was still behind!

Boom!!!

After Thunder, following the rain, a thick thunderbolt accompanied the sound of Thunder and fell suddenly.

Enhanced by both Rain Prayer and Thunder, the power of this high-level thunder-type skill, Lightning, reached its maximum. At this time, as a lightning pillar several meters thick descended, Eleven showed an excited expression, causing Worm's eyes to widen, and it quickly jumped away from Eleven's body—

"Thunder Cutter." Shi Yu said, holding an umbrella at the edge of the arena.

"Aww!!"

Hearing Shi Yu's command, Eleven roared, and intense blue-white currents began to appear in both palms. At the same time, lightning began to spread throughout its body, invading its body.

Zzzzzz!!!

With the lightning splashing, its mouth and eyes seemed to have thunder light.

In the next instant, its fur bristled all over, and the Perfect-level Extrasensory Vision was activated together, forming a profound skill with Thunder Palm, looking at the lightning in the sky, it seemed to transform into a thunderbolt itself!!

Then, in this violent state, Eleven took a deep breath, and finally stomped hard.

Crack!

A crack appeared in the arena.

The little Iron Eating Beast's figure disappeared from the spot!

The audience in the entire venue held their breath in unison.

What was it going to do?

A moment later, all the examinees looked at the sky, their hearts shaken, and they showed an unbelievable expression.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. In mid-air, the high-level Lightning skill released by the Thundercloud Sprite, which was like a lightning pillar, was now divided into two, as if it had been cut open by the sharpest weapon, and its energy dissipated and froze in mid-air! Five 816○.net

Everyone saw that it was the little Iron Eating Beast that had jumped up with all its might that had cut open and torn apart the lightning. At this time, the blue-white lightning in its hands formed a sharp contrast with the golden lightning summoned by the Thundercloud Sprite. Many people opened their mouths in shock. This, this was possible???

The speed of lightning was so fast, how did this little Iron Eating Beast cut open the lightning so accurately and quickly!!!!

Was it a monster!

Zhang Qianyi and the Thundercloud Sprite's expressions changed almost simultaneously.

"Is this the power of Perfect-level Thunder Palm..."

The examinees looked at the little Iron Eating Beast that had fallen back onto the scorched ground, full of fighting spirit, and their hearts trembled.

Damn it.

Before, it was always Worm who was showing off, but now, seeing the little Iron Eating Beast launch an attack, the examinees suddenly had a sense of separation from the world.

"Besides Perfect-level Thunder Palm, there is also Perfect-level Extrasensory Vision." On the high platform, Yin Chuanqi said silently. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for this Iron Eating Beast to capture the movement and energy weak points of lightning so easily and cut it open smoothly.

This move could no longer be simply considered Perfect-level Thunder Palm, but a profound skill composed of Perfect-level Thunder Palm and Extrasensory Vision, allowing the little Iron Eating Beast to perfectly control the divine speed brought by lightning stimulation!

"Senior, is this the Thunder Palm of your Zhushi Martial Arts Center? Awesome!!!" In the Gu Du University viewing area, the Archaeological Seven Heroes said one after another.

Senior Panda was silent, always feeling that Lin Hongnian's Iron Eating Beast's Thunder Palm had never been so smooth...
