Binhai Dojo.

After Shi Yu and the others returned, Zheng Hai, the master of Binhai Dojo, immediately gave them a welcome reception.

He insisted on hosting them at the dojo before letting Shi Yu and the others leave.

Shi Yu and the others didn't mind spending a meal's worth of time, so they naturally agreed.

Besides, they hadn't officially thanked Legendary Ba Hai for the escort after returning.

Dragon Palace City was located in the deep sea, and even top masters proficient in water-type skills found it difficult to travel there alone, so Legendary Ba Hai's escort was quite necessary.

"When can your other pets break through to the Monarch level?"

In the hall, Bai Xi whispered to Shi Yu.

During this trip to Dragon Palace City, the group of Beast Tamers who went together didn't see many battle scenes involving Shi Yu, but judging from Shi Yu's record, it was already terrifying.

Fighting against the sea beasts of Dragon Palace for three consecutive days and nights, maintaining a complete victory, even with sufficient supplies, was an unimaginable record.

Coupled with the Iron-eating Beast's crushing pinch of the Second Prince of Dragon Palace City, basically no one regarded Shi Yu as a normal master anymore.

Therefore, Bai Xi immediately became eager, setting her sights on the national competition championship.

With Shi Yu and her together at Gudu University, she was confident!

"Is the national competition really necessary?" Shi Yu muttered.

For singles, there was Eleven, and for team battles, there was the Time Fruit, so what was there to fear?

"Don't underestimate Gao Xuan. He's not like the Thunder Dragon Crown Prince who was countered by you. The mechanical type is the most cunning. Even if he doesn't use forbidden weapons, he has various other means. Be steady, be steady," Bai Xi said, "Don't forget, he has been focusing on upgrading the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast, and he still has several contract slots unfilled. This time, little friend Yin Zhengfan also saw your strength and will definitely go back and tell Gao Xuan..."

"Before, he thought he had no opponents, so he focused on training one mechanical pet, but if you show a threat."

"Then, even if he doesn't use forbidden weapons, what if he temporarily contracts a bunch of mechanical pets that counter you... victory won't be guaranteed!"

"Can you guys not conspire so loudly?" Yin Zhengfan, holding a water cup, blushed and looked at Shi Yu and Bai Xi, who were conspiring loudly, with dissatisfaction.

Zou Tianwang and Yu Shu, who were sitting on the sofa, scrolling through their phones, and reporting the situation to their families, were also speechless.

"Youth is so good," several Beast Tamers who had already graduated from university, including the blue-haired girl, sighed.

This year's national competition was going to be turbulent.

Was Gudu University going to make a comeback???

Shi Yu's pets were indeed monsters, even fiercer than Lu Qingyi back then.

"That's right."

Hearing Bai Xi's words, Shi Yu was stunned. He almost forgot about this. Because he was too invincible, Gao Xuan had never contracted other mechanical pets. If he temporarily modified a bunch of exploding bomb babies that countered him, it would be a bit tricky.

He remembered clearly the scene of Gao Xuan leveling the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain with a forbidden weapon. This guy's Beast Taming talent was very strange.

"Both Gao Xuan and Shi Yu are quite threatening," Zou Tianwang glanced at Shi Yu. However, it was fortunate that neither of them were in the club system, so they wouldn't compete with him for jobs or resources. He would just watch them kill each other in the national competition.

As long as they didn't steal his trending topics! These were all traffic! Traffic was money and resources! As long as it was used well, it would earn no less than Shi Yu and Gao Xuan developing some research results that benefited the country and the people.

Thinking of this, Zou Yun photoshopped a selfie of himself with the overlord-level dragon species Black Flood Dragon and posted it online, instructing his company to operate it as soon as possible.

This time, no one should steal his trending topics, right? Although Shi Yu was quite a big deal in Dragon Palace this time, Shi Yu shouldn't be so high-profile... Even if he told his experiences, others wouldn't bother to publicize it.

"Dinner is ready, everyone, let's go eat together. Master is also there," Zheng Hai, who had gone to check on the situation, returned to the room and said with a smile.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Okay!"

Everyone responded.

Soon, everyone arrived at the dojo's dining area. Perhaps knowing that everyone was tired of the food in Dragon Palace City, Binhai Dojo specially prepared local specialties.

Soon, everyone sat at a table, enjoying themselves.

Legendary Ba Hai also took his seat after a while.

However, modern young people still couldn't shake the bad habit of using their phones at the dinner table. They had been stuck in Dragon Palace City for several days, only able to watch downloaded novels and videos. On land, there were no such restrictions, and they could browse whatever they wanted.

"This." Not long after taking her seat, the blue-haired girl from the Elemental Family said incredulously, "Everyone, quickly look at the top trending news."

Hearing the blue-haired girl's words, Zou Yun, who was not far away, chuckled. Oops, he was accidentally discovered. How embarrassing...

"What's wrong?" Bai Xi, Xia Qingwei, and the others were puzzled by the blue-haired girl's surprise.

"It's the World Championship. The official media said that Dong Huang is going to start selecting the teams to participate in the World Championship. A total of 10 Beast Tamers under the age of 30 will be selected, ranked in descending order of strength. Wow, I didn't expect to catch up with the World Championship in my lifetime."

"What?" The blue-haired girl's words stunned everyone, including Zheng Hai, and Legendary Ba Hai was also a little surprised.

The others were shocked by the news, while Legendary Ba Hai didn't expect the news to be announced so quickly.

Among the crowd, everyone was attracted by the word "World Championship," and Zou Yun was no exception. However, after reacting, he quickly took out his phone and looked at the World Championship news on top of his own news, his face turning dark. Oh no, oh no.

"Really?" Shi Yu also paused slightly after hearing this, then quickly grabbed his phone. Even the gem cat was no exception, floating in the air and staring at Shi Yu's phone.

The timing of this World Championship was, to put it mildly, very irregular!!!

No one expected to catch up with it in their lifetime.

You see, the last time the Seven Nations Alliance held the World Championship was 20 years ago.

And in the 200 years since the establishment of the Seven Nations Alliance, the World Championship has only been held three times.

The timing of the event completely depended on the mood of the World Tree. In this case, the sudden appearance of the World Championship news would definitely cause an uproar across the country.

In previous sessions, because technology was not yet developed, Beast Tamers had only heard of it, but this time they encountered it themselves, instantly sparking a national discussion.

"Through the Sequence Ranking Battle, the 10 strongest Beast Tamers under the age of 30 in Dong Huang Ancient Country will be selected. Legendary Beast Tamers under the age of 30 can automatically enter the top ten sequences. In addition, the top 100 Beast Tamers will be selected from large-scale events such as the National College Student Competition, the Club Master Cup, the Heavenly King Cup, and the Beast Taming Corps Military Exercises, based on past performance. The Dong Huang Association will officially rank the suitable Beast Tamers."

"Others can register online and challenge the ranked Beast Tamers from scratch, increasing their ranking. The higher the ranking, the richer the rewards. There are also rewards for defeating challengers. Beast Tamers who are already ranked can also challenge those above them. After one year, the remaining top ten sequences will form the national team to participate in the World War..."

"Damn it."

After seeing this news, Shi Yu felt that things were not simple.

"Wow." The gem cat's eyes also lit up. Was the World Championship coming again? It wondered if any participants would come out of the students graduating from Gudu University this time so that it could also travel abroad.

The foreign food, here it came.

"Did everyone see the news?" Legendary Ba Hai said, seeing that many young people, including Zheng Hai, were looking down at their phones.

"Master, you already knew?" Zheng Hai asked.

"Yeah." Legendary Ba Hai nodded. At the moment, everyone couldn't care less about eating and looked at Legendary Ba Hai.

"The situation for this World Championship may be a bit special. Among you, Zheng Hai and Zou Yun, there is some hope. If you have any ideas, you can work hard."

In Legendary Ba Hai's view, if they didn't reach the legendary level or didn't have the ability to fight against overlord-level creatures, going to this World Championship would be sending themselves to their deaths. They might not be able to come back alive.

Therefore, he only advised Zou Yun, the Heavenly King who was a top master and could already contend with overlords, and his disciple Zheng Hai, whose Beast Taming Space had reached level seven and who was only missing an overlord-level pet to become a legendary Beast Tamer under the age of 30.

As for the others, they were basically ordinary masters with level five Beast Taming Spaces, too far from the participation standards.

"Ahhhhh, how is there only one year left." These people were also clear about this themselves. For example, Bai Xi looked at the date above with pain, feeling a little hopeless. She had only just broken through to a level five Beast Tamer and reached the master level less than a year ago.

The difficulty of reaching level six or level seven in the Beast Taming Space was several times higher than before. Even with another year, it would be impossible.

"Damn it." Yu Shu, a mid-level Beast Tamer who was less than 20 years old, could only look at the news and shed tears.

As for little friend Yin Zhengfan, he also clenched his fists, looking unwilling. If he had been born 15 years earlier, he could have caught up with this World Championship.

This was a stage for competing with Beast Tamers from all over the world.

Without knowing when the next World Championship would be held in a few decades, Beast Tamers who could not participate this time would most likely have no hope for the rest of their lives.

After all, the World Tree's blessing was only effective for humans under the age of 30, and their age would not stop increasing.

"You guys shouldn't think too much. This World War may not be a good thing. Perhaps the Totem Country will also intervene. Killing a winner from hundreds of super geniuses, do you think it's so fun." Seeing this group of young people looking dissatisfied, Legendary Ba Hai smiled coldly.

His words stunned everyone. What? The Totem Country might also participate??!

"Didn't only the Seven Nations Alliance participate in previous World Championships?" Zou Yun and Zheng Hai asked incredulously.

The seven countries belonged to the same alliance. Although there were deaths and injuries in battles between them, it was more to win the battle. If there was no deep hatred and they could crush their opponents, they wouldn't be so ruthless.

However, the Totem Country and the Seven Nations Alliance were incompatible forces. The feud started from the Totem War two hundred years ago, no, even earlier Totem Wars. They truly had deep-seated hatred, so it could no longer be called a competition.

Instead, it was a game of the World Tree, a war game in which countless lives killed each other under the gaze of the World Tree to fight for resources. It was rare for both sides to leave the battlefield alive.

Thinking of this, Zheng Hai and Zou Yun's expressions changed. Even they began to seriously consider whether they were qualified to participate in this World Championship.

"These rules..." Bai Xi, Yu Shu, and the others didn't understand.

"In any case, this domestic Sequence Battle is still worth participating in. Every time the World Tree awakens, the entire Blue Planet will not be calm. It is a kind of omen. The country should focus on cultivating potential Beast Tamers next. Therefore, the Dong Huang Association should strongly allocate resources for this Sequence Battle. If you can achieve good results in it, even if it's unrelated to the World Championship, it will be beneficial to you."

"As for the World Championship's blessing..." Legendary Ba Hai shook his head and said, "It's better not to aim too high."

"That's what you say..." Zheng Hai and Zou Yun were still a little unwilling.

Mainly because the blessing effects of the World Tree throughout the generations were too tempting.

For example, the World Tree's blessing could increase a pet's comprehension and learning ability, and improve the development efficiency of a pet's super-level skills.

For example, the World Tree's blessing was also equivalent to a meditation accelerator, allowing a Beast Tamer to reach the legendary level in a very short period. When Legendary Lin Feng participated in the World Championship, he was just an ordinary legendary, but after becoming the champion, it only took him two years to break through two levels and enter the legendary realm, becoming the youngest legendary Beast Tamer in the world. The World Tree's blessing was indispensable.

Moreover, the World Tree's blessing also had the effect of evolving pets and increasing the lifespan of Beast Tamers. All kinds of effects were completely equivalent to giving a Beast Tamer the potential to become the strongest in the world. In this case, which Beast Tamer wouldn't be tempted?

"Ah—" Shi Yu, staring at the phone screen, once again became a little shark lost in thought. Looking at the World Tree blessing effects being discussed by people on the internet, he suddenly felt a little tempted. What he was most worried about now was the speed of upgrading his Beast Taming Space. If he could get a blessing, wouldn't he be able to become invincible quickly? Of course, at the moment, the Beast Taming Space level also seemed to be the biggest factor limiting Shi Yu's strength. If his Beast Taming level couldn't go up, his physique wouldn't go up, and his pet's strength level wouldn't go up either, so the World Championship would have nothing to do with him...

Of course...

"To be honest, I'm not very interested in the World Championship. The blessing effects are not as good as giving me a mythical cub to raise," Shi Yu said to himself as he looked at the news. With the Skill Index, he would eventually become a powerful Beast Tamer. However, Shi Yu had a huge interest in the World Tree itself.

The incarnation of the planet's will, was he sure that this thing wasn't a mythical lifeform? Wasn't it said that mythology had disappeared? So did this World Tree have power or intelligence? As the incarnation of the planet's will, was it possible that it knew everything that had happened on this planet in the past billions of years? For a moment, Shi Yu suddenly became extremely curious about this.

He could skip the competition, he could give up the blessing, but could he bring a bag of melon seeds and a big watermelon to chat and eat melons with the World Tree or its spokespersons and guardians?
