Chapter 121 The Rookie King Competition Begins
When Xu Xian received the boastful pictures sent by Zhou Li, his name immediately went viral in the school's beast tamer group.
Xu Xian also joined this group, but he turned on the do-not-disturb mode.
I haven't had a chance to inspect the surveillance yet.
So he was unaware that the name Zhou Li had become the subject of intense discussion.
Three small groups of outsiders and local students were all talking about Zhou Li.
Qian Hongwu stared at Zhou Li on his phone, his face grim, as Zhou Li commanded the golden-armored beast to easily defeat multiple people, drawing out the former top student and decisively defeating him.
"This guy has gotten so strong!"
He really hadn't expected the golden-armored beast to grow so quickly.
The activated advanced skill "Diamond Shield" makes it impossible for even the first opponent to break through its defenses.
"Its defense is even higher than Akin's, but thankfully its attack power is only average, so it shouldn't be able to do much against Akin."
After reading it, Qian Hongwu breathed a sigh of relief.
The Golden Armor Beast is renowned for its defense; it is a famous turtle-shell defensive spirit beast.
Its defensive capabilities are among the strongest of all bronze-grade items.
However, it's only a defensive capability.
But Zhou Li's golden-armored beast did indeed put a lot of pressure on people.
For example, Yu Yu's group, and three small groups of outsiders.
They hadn't expected that they'd missed a real expert.
"Luckily, this guy was stupid enough to expose the strength of his spirit beast. Otherwise, if we had been caught off guard when we actually attacked Xu Xian, we would have suffered heavy losses."
"It depends on the specific situation. In any case, once the match starts, we need to quickly contact and regroup. This guy is stuck with Xu Xian, so we can divide and defeat him, not giving them a chance to react."
"This method is feasible, but we must be careful of others. Yu Yu and that Shi Shi are very powerful!"
soon.
1:10 PM.
Many new Beastmaster trainees have already set off to register.
Meanwhile, the senior beast tamers and regular students all went to the Deyi Building because they could watch the rookie king competition at the start of the semester and the school hadn't arranged any classes.
A large number of students entered the Deyi Building and found empty rooms and good seats with their friends.
Below the room, which is similar to a lecture hall, are multiple cameras that have already been installed.
In the very center are three drone shots of new students registering for the event.
It can be said.
As soon as the game begins.
Three drones will randomly follow and film three students, and the images of the three students will appear in the center of the fixed camera's view in front.
It looks dazzling, but you can also see what you want to see.
For ordinary students and senior students above the second year, these are all great sources of amusement and conversation topics.
Student dormitory 505.
Xu Xian returned from the laboratory building, and Zhou Li crossed his arms. The golden-armored beast imitated him, looking quite pleased with itself.
Shi Shi, Lu Youqi, and Su Ya all looked at him in surprise.
Shi Shi and Lu Youqi both thought that Zhou Li's Golden Armor Beast was only so-so.
As a result, the two of them received a big surprise as soon as they entered the school.
Su Ya looked Zhou Li up and down.
I found that this round face looked ordinary, nothing special.
However, this golden-armored beast is indeed powerful.
She looked at Xu Xian, surprised that she had just wanted to avoid being left out and eliminated early by others, but it seemed that she had ended up forming a pretty good team.
Her gaze swept over the spirit beasts of her teammates present.
Shi Shi's uniquely colored Icewind Rabbit, Lu Youqi's Violent Duck, Zhou Li's Golden Armor Beast, and Xu Xian's... uh...
Suya blinked her big eyes.
A strange, large frog with white scales and dragon horns. It looks a lot like the Little Flame Minotaur, but it's probably not a juvenile, just a thin Little Flame Minotaur.
What's going on with these two spirit beasts?
"Stop looking, let's go. It would be funny if we couldn't participate if we lingered too long."
Xu Xian waved for everyone and the spirit beasts to leave.
Inside the elevator, Zhou Li glanced at Su Ya.
He whispered in Xu Xian's ear, "What's the situation with this person?"
When Su Ya saw Zhou Li looking at her as if he were whispering with Xu Xian, she immediately showed a bright and sweet smile.
Zhou Li shuddered, breaking out in goosebumps similar to Xu Xian's, his expression seemingly showing disdain.
Su Ya's sweet smile froze.
His fists were clenched tightly.
There seemed to be a clicking sound.
That bastard truly deserves to be Xu Xian's good friend!
Thinking of what Zhou Li said to Xu Xian at the entrance ceremony that morning.
"!!"
Could it be that...?
Su Ya seemed to have suddenly realized something, and her anger vanished instantly, replaced by a strange expression as she looked at Xu Xian and Zhou Li.
Xu Xian suddenly felt a chill run through his body.
Damn it, who's talking bad about me again?
He glanced at Su Ya and whispered to Zhou Li, "This is my dad's childhood friend's daughter. He asked me to look after her at school."
"I see." Zhou Li nodded.
I almost thought my good buddy had finally seen the light, but it turns out he's still a blockhead.
The five of them walked together on the school road.
At this time, there are hardly any people to be seen.
"There's no shortage of people watching a show, no matter where you are," Lu Youqi remarked.
The annual Rookie King competition is indeed a very good program.
He said to Zhou Li, "Zhou Li, do you know that after you got first place at noon, quite a few people in the school made bets about you?"
A question mark appeared in Zhou Li's mind.
"What are we betting on?" Xu Xian asked.
"Just ordinary things, like a few meals and washing smelly socks for a month," Lu Youqi replied.
Xu Xian immediately lost interest.
What's the point of gambling here?
He figured if someone bet on who would become the Rookie of the Year, and if there were high odds of winning money or credits, then he wanted to join in too.
After all, Mr. Xu never refuses money.
Is that all?
Lu Youqi shrugged.
How could gambling possibly exist in a school?
Any student found guilty will be expelled immediately without exception.
Who would dare to defy the law?
Soon, Xu Xian and his group of five arrived at Deyilou.
I was led to the back of the Deyi Building and registered with a middle-aged man.
This person was none other than Guo Wujin, the instructor for all the new Beast Tamers.
As soon as Xu Xian and his group of five arrived, they naturally attracted the attention of the other students, being the last freshmen to arrive.
They all developed a deep sense of apprehension towards Xu Xian and his group.
In particular, the three outside groups who knew that Xu Xian possessed the Silver Seed.
Their gazes were fixed on Wawa, who was sitting quietly beside Xu Xian.
The Silver-type Tide Dragon Frog, the Golden Armored Beast with the strongest defense among the Bronze-type, and the Different Colored Ice Wind Rabbit!
Besides these three spirit beasts.
They also discovered Suya, whom they hadn't noticed before.
Although I don't know them personally, I do know Yin Yang Weasel.
It has both light and dark attributes, but looking at its chubby, silly face, and with a weak aura of energy, the other students secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If this Yin-Yang Weasel had the combat power of that heterochromatic Ice Wind Rabbit, this team's combat power would be off the charts!
"Alright, leave all your phones and devices with me for safekeeping, but Tide Frog and Little Flame Minotaur—" Instructor Guo Wujin glanced at Wawa and Niu Niu beside Xu Xian.
"Golden Armor Beast and Little Carbon Yang?" He then looked at the 1.8-meter-tall golden armor beast and the fist-sized piece of coal next to Zhou Li.
Guo Wujin felt that he was somewhat ignorant.
Aside from the Golden Armored Beast, the other three spirit beasts were unnamed and looked rather strange.
Beside them, Su Ya, Shi Shi, and Lu Youqi looked at the object in Zhou Li's hand in surprise.
They had seen this thing stuck to Zhou Li's back before.
They assumed it was the other person's quirk.
He just grabbed it by the hand and said it was a spirit beast.
Lu Youqi scratched his head.
Xu Xian's Little Flame Minotaur's strength is unknown, but it should be quite good. Zhou Li's—Little Charcoal Sun—
He didn't know how to evaluate it.
I feel like I've seen this name somewhere before, but I just can't remember where.
Not to mention him, Shi Shi and Su Ya felt the same way.
It has a déjà vu feeling, like I've seen it somewhere before, but I just can't remember what it is.
It can only be said that this thing is too niche. Except for Zhou Li, all the members of the group of five are top students.
So I've seen them all, but I have very little impression of them.
After registration, Lu Youqi approached Zhou Li and saw that the guy had put his little coal ball on his back again (actually, Little Carbon Sun wanted to attach it himself), and asked, "Zhou Li, how strong is your Little Carbon Sun? If it's not strong, you shouldn't let it participate."
Xiao Tanyang barely exuded any aura, and even his life force was extremely low.
This is why many people mistake it at first glance.
As for a second glance, Zhou Li had already walked far away, and besides, who would stare at someone's back for no reason?
Therefore, it is normal for Lu You to say that.
Zhou Li glanced at Xu Xian's wawa, thought for a moment, and casually said, "Not bad. Among the students this time, at least one of their spirit beasts is as strong as it."
Lu Youqi shook his head secretly upon hearing this.
After looking around, I saw that some of the new students only had level seven, eight, or nine spirit beasts.
I thought to myself, "This thing of yours is probably the only one that stands out from the crowd."
The exciting 2 o'clock time was fast approaching.
There is a room on the second floor of Deyi Building.
Principal Pei Buliao and Zhao Que, vice president of the Shucheng Association, were drinking tea.
"Old Zhao, who do you think will win first place this time?" Pei Bulang pointed the part of his hair with the window, letting the breeze blow and cover his bald spot, making his hair appear thicker.
Zhao Que chuckled at his little gesture and shook her head, saying, "Hard to say, there are quite a few geniuses this time. Yu Yu, Shi Shi, Qian Hongwu, Zhou Li, and those little guys from the Wang, Yun, and Gu families—"
"Where is Xu Xian?" Pei Bu Liao asked, picking up his teacup.
Zhao Que smiled but remained silent.
Behind the Deyi Building.
It's exactly 2 o'clock.
Everyone and the spirit beast looked up in unison.
The lush branches and leaves of the giant spirit tree formed a canopy that blocked out the scorching sun.
The Spirit Tree is very familiar to everyone in Tree City.
It is not an inanimate object, but the origin of Tree City. In relation to the entire Dragon Kingdom, Rainbow Dragon is the guardian deity.
And in Tree City, the Spirit Tree is the guardian deity of Tree City.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The dark green leaves of the spirit tree trembled.
As it swayed its branches and leaves, beams of bright green light shone in the sky.
There weren't many of these green lights, only one hundred and two.
However, the number of new students at Shucheng University this year is also 102.
coming!
Xu Xian stared intently.
One hundred and two beams of green light flashed across the sky, transforming into a rain of arrows that shot straight down.
A beam of green light struck Xu Xian, and instantly, the light intensified, transforming into a halo that pulled Wa Wa Niu Niu, who was bound to him by contract, into it.
The same was true for the others. Even if they were several meters away from the spirit beasts, the suction force generated after the green light enveloped them directly pulled their spirit beasts into the light sphere.
"Every time I see this, I feel that Senior Ling Shu's strength is legendary," Zhao Que remarked.
Pei Bulang shook his head, "It's only a step away, but it's like an insurmountable chasm!"
If the Spirit Tree could truly ascend to legendary status, why would Tree City be merely a fifth-tier city, unable to even produce a school specializing in all beast tamers?
Unfortunately, this level has kept countless exceptionally talented individuals and spirit beasts away.
Ultimately, it is something that can only be hoped for but never reached.
The green light formed a sphere that encircled all the students and their respective spirit beasts.
All the orbs of light rose straight up and flew into the sky.
Inside the Deyi Building classroom, the senior students had seen each other more than once, while the freshmen were all excited.
A teacher was present in each classroom to maintain order.
They explained, "Our Tree City University is backed by a mountain called Tree Mountain, which was originally the birthplace of the Spirit Tree and is now the venue for our Tree City University's annual Rookie King competition."
"Here's something for the new students this year: all the new students majoring in Beast Tamer will be sent to Tree Mountain, and their locations will be randomized. Their only task is to eliminate every student they see."
"After everyone has fought fiercely and only one person remains, he will be the new champion of our Tree City this year. He will receive a school reward of one million, as well as the equivalent of four years' worth of spirit beast food! There will also be a mysterious reward."
"Of course, in addition to the Rookie of the Year, the top ten students will also receive different rewards based on their rankings."
"The ranking is based on the order of elimination."
The teachers finished speaking.
The 102 green orbs that flew into the sky suddenly transformed into streams of light and flew towards the high mountains.
Xu Xian and the other students felt dizzy and disoriented from the moment they rose.
Now it's a rapid descent, and the feeling of weightlessness is overwhelming.
The feeling disappeared after only a moment.
Xu Xian patted his dizzy head, and the green sphere of light that enveloped him and Wa Wa Niu Niu suddenly dissipated.
However, the scattered green light did not disappear directly, but split into two streams that went straight into Wawa and Niu Niu's bodies.
Shaking my head, the dizziness subsided considerably.
Xu Xian looked around at his surroundings.
I stood with the two little ones on a bare mound of earth, surrounded by large, haphazardly piled stones, overgrown weeds, and dense trees.
Looking up, I saw a drone filming me from a high place.
Among the trees, a large tree has a 360-degree rotating camera that is turning its head directly at you.
Beside a stream at the bottom of Shushan.
Qian Hongwu shook his head, and his dizziness subsided a little before he looked around at his surroundings.
A drone overhead, and a camera following them from a distance.
"An encounter battle plus a melee, huh!" Qian Hongwu sneered.
When he met the other groups of new students, he had a bad feeling and felt that things were about to go wrong.
Now—hmph!
Qian Hongwu was confident that he was better than any student at Shucheng University.
As long as we defeat those guys before they reunite—
The location of the last drone camera.
It faced a dark cave. All the students in Deyi Building saw a round-faced boy appear, looking dizzy. He was helped out by an enormous pangolin whose body was covered in golden scales that shimmered faintly.
Seeing him in such a disheveled state, many students laughed.
Others land on flat ground, beside a stream, or at worst in a ravine.
This week, Li was in trouble; he fell directly into the depths of a small, gaping canyon.
The key is that it's pitch black inside, and there's no way to go upwards; we have to find another way out.
The school also specifically assigned someone to control a drone to follow and film this student, who is currently ranked number one among active students.
Otherwise, we wouldn't see the comedic effect of this show.
