The first round has ended, and three challengers have achieved an information completeness of over 90% and a score of A.

Qin Ming, a senior student with a Qingyin Sparrow, and a senior student who has a contract with a Medicine Fox.

The three were neck and neck, and each of their spirit beasts was extraordinary, so Qin Ming did not dare to be careless.

In the second round, the difficulty of the questions increased, and the samples were a mixture of herbal scents, with a small amount of spirit beast scent mixed in.

Xiao Bao carefully analyzed the ingredients and finally concluded that "the mixture of three herbs has a slightly bitter and sweet main flavor, with a slightly spicy aftertaste. The spirit beast is a snake, possibly a guardian beast."

Qin Ming responded accordingly.

When the scores were announced, the completeness of the spirit master information of the medicine fox surpassed Qin Ming by 0.5%, temporarily placing it in first place.

Xiao Bao couldn't shake off the feeling of being overwhelmed by the changes in the rankings.

Qin Ming calmly reassured them, "They had a bit of luck this round; the questions were just right for them. So don't be discouraged. Luck changes, and we'll catch up next."

"Eek!" Xiao Bao clenched his little fists and nodded fiercely.

In the third round, when the special psionic device in the cubicle was activated again, Xiao Bao quickly twitched his nose, and the next second, his eyes widened.

A sharp, explosive sound came through the contract; the sound was almost distorted.

"It's a Crystal Spirit Carp! It's definitely a Crystal Spirit Carp! That 'plop' sound of water, that smell... Fatty explained it to us in detail!"

"Its length should be about one meter, and based on its size in the wild, it would weigh about 22 kilograms, with an error margin of within half a kilogram. It's a male adult! There's no mistake!!"

Upon hearing this detailed description, Qin Ming was first taken aback, then almost burst out laughing.

A crystal-clear spirit carp? A male adult? This question is... way too "down-to-earth"! It's practically tailor-made for them!

He didn't need to communicate with Xiaobao to confirm the details at all. His finger quickly swiped across the answer screen, and he had already completed the input almost the instant the host said "Start answering questions".

Next, submit!

At this moment, most of the other spirit masters were still holding their breath and trying to decipher the vague or disjointed information transmitted by the spirit beasts.

When Qin Ming's "Completed" indicator light suddenly lit up, it was far too conspicuous among the many flashing "Answering Questions" indicator lights.

A stir ran through the crowd, and murmurs arose.

"What's going on? Room 3...submitted?!"

"It's only been a few seconds? The questions just came out, right?"

Did you press the wrong key? Or did you give up?

Even the host glanced in surprise at Qin Ming's direction—how could he analyze anything in such a short time?

Rather than acknowledging Qin Ming's potentially terrifying efficiency, more people tend to believe that he either made a mistake or simply gave up because he found the questions too difficult.

But when their gaze fell on Qin Ming's face, they saw a calm and indifferent expression, even with a faint smile on his lips, as if he had just done something insignificant.

His calm and composed demeanor silenced some of the doubts, but it also aroused more curiosity and confusion.

Was he truly confident, or simply blindly overconfident?

The commotion offstage inevitably affected the other challengers onstage. The girl with the clear voice was clearly distracted, glancing at Qin Ming several times.

The spirit master of the medicine fox snorted coldly, forcing himself to concentrate, but his speed seemed to be affected slightly.

A few minutes later, all the challengers submitted their answers. The countdown ended, and an atmosphere filled the room with tension, anticipation, and intense curiosity.

The host took a deep breath and announced loudly, "Now, we're announcing the results and scores for the third round of the challenge!"

The giant screen lit up, and rows of data began to scroll across the screen. Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the first name at the top—

Qin Ming

Answer: Completely correct.

Information extraction completeness: 100%.

Base rating: S.

Bonus: Early submission (valid) earns +10% bonus points.

Overall rating: S+.

A brief silence fell over the screen.

100% complete? S+ rating? Is early submission still valid?

How is this possible?!

The question and answer have been released, but everyone is still puzzled as to how one can identify what kind of fish is in the water the moment they hear a splash, and still achieve 100% information completeness.

Everyone witnessed the process firsthand; how long did it take for that spirit beast to go in? That efficiency is simply inhuman!

After the initial shock, doubts began to creep in: Could it be... that the questions were leaked? Or, that the grading system malfunctioned?

With this in mind, many people subconsciously look down at the results of other challengers, trying to find a "reference point".

【Mo Yi (Pharmacist Fox)】

Information extraction completeness: 88%.

Rating: B+.

Actually, the rating isn't bad, but there are already excellent examples before it.

【Jiajia (Qingyin Que)】

Information extraction completeness: 82%.

Rating: B.

The scores for the next few fluctuated between C and E.

Apart from Qin Ming, the performance of the other players in this match was... less than ideal.

While the questions were indeed challenging, such a stark difference in skill level was truly unbelievable. Especially considering that Mo Yi, the spirit master of the Medicine Fox sect, had completely outclassed Qin Ming in this round.

This result silenced the voices questioning the system's malfunction—the system couldn't possibly be "malfunctioning" only for Qin Ming.

Meanwhile, those in the audience who participated in the "small bet" had mixed feelings, and their faces were not very pleasant.

Soon, a barrage of gazes, like searchlights, were directed at Liu Xiaochuan, who was hiding at the edge of the crowd, trying to make himself inconspicuous.

The temporary bookmaker was currently struggling to suppress the urge to grin wildly from ear to ear; his face was almost red, and his eyes were squinting with laughter. He was overjoyed: "Master! Truly a genius! This is a huge win!"

However, his "secretly pleased" appearance was nothing short of adding fuel to the fire in the eyes of those who had lost points and were full of doubts!

Immediately, several tall, unfriendly students stood up, rubbing their hands together and surrounding him, their malicious gazes fixed on Liu Xiaochuan.

Liu Xiaochuan keenly sensed something was wrong; the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. Unfortunately, business in front of him was booming, and when he looked up, he saw enemies everywhere, and his chance of survival seemed slim.

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave." An arm slammed firmly onto his shoulder, not lightly. "We brothers have to have a good chat. Your betting operations... do you know some 'insider information'?"

Another person chimed in, "Exactly, it's no fun keeping it to yourself. If there's such a sure thing to make money, why not share it?"

Under such encirclement, Liu Xiaochuan's pupils suddenly contracted, revealing vertical pupils.
