"Have you heard? Our military is going to join hands with the Wanjia Guidian to hold a competition for the younger generation."

The news spread faster than the sea breeze on the border of the Blue Sea.

"Joining hands with the Ten Thousand Armored Tortoise Palace? Which Ten Thousand Armored Tortoise Palace? It can't be that... right?" His companion, who wasn't well-informed, was shocked.

"Is there another Wan Jia Gui Gong near the border of the Blue Sea?"

"hiss--"

Gasps of shock came from all directions.

The Myriad Armored Turtle Palace is one of the four major powers in the Endless Sea, a colossal entity that has occupied the deep sea for thousands of years.

The military wants to join forces with them to hold a competition? When did this happen?

Why so suddenly? There wasn't a single hint beforehand.

"Not only is the winner's reward generous, but they will also enjoy a free deep-sea cruise, escorted by Elder Wan Jia Turtle. That's incredibly prestigious!"

The person who squeezed to the front looked at the notice and read out the details aloud.

There was a moment of silence, then everything erupted into chaos.

"Elder Wan Jia Turtle is protecting us? What level of protection is that? A deep-sea trip! That's something I never even dared to dream of before!"

"It's not that no one has ever tried deep-sea exploration before, but less than 30% of them come back alive. The things in the deep sea are on a completely different level from those in the near sea. If Elder Wan Jia Turtle really were leading the way..."

The person next to him chimed in, "Then the security is absolutely guaranteed. Who would dare to cause trouble on the territory of the Ten Thousand Armored Turtle Palace?"

A murmur of discussion arose, and more and more people gathered around.

"Not only that, with Elder Wan Jia Gui accompanying them, wouldn't taming a spirit beast of superior quality be a piece of cake?"

These words were like a fire, completely igniting everyone's emotions.

The further a Spirit Master progresses, the more difficult it becomes to break through.

The fifth rank is a hurdle, the sixth rank is an insurmountable barrier, and those above the seventh rank are extremely rare.

Therefore, every high-level spirit master is extremely careful in choosing their spirit beasts.

A spirit beast with outstanding potential can provide great assistance to a spirit master.

Therefore, some spirit masters would rather wait three to five years than hastily enter into a contract.

But the problem is, which spirit beast wouldn't covet such a gifted creature?

On land, the appearance of every high-quality spirit beast will trigger open and covert struggles between major forces.

There are too many monks and not enough meat, so often there's no chance to choose at all.

But the situation is different in seas where few people venture.

In the deep sea, the variety and number of mythical beasts far exceed those on land.

High-quality spirit beasts, which are hard to find on land, may live in groups in some corner of the deep sea.

Surely some of them would want to explore with humans?

Previously, because humans could not delve into such depths, these things were something that could only be admired from afar.

But now, with Elder Wan Jia Gui protecting us, venturing into the sea is no longer suicide, but a tremendous benefit!

At this moment, everyone who met the requirements for participating was already excited.

"In the competition among the younger generation, the fifth rank should be considered outstanding. I wonder how many hidden talents are there?"

Team members who already have their sights set on the final spots are already making plans.

The discussions grew louder and louder, the atmosphere as lively as a festival.

Even the most serious team members were listening intently to every detail.

……

As soon as Qin Ming returned to the dormitory, he shared the good news with Xiao Pang, and they also began preparations for the event.

After all, he had only just entered the fifth rank. In front of a group of experts with rich combat experience or those who had been accumulating experience for many years and were waiting to break through, he dared not say that he was invincible.

Those veterans who have been stationed on the border for three to five years, or seven or eight years, which one of them didn't fight their way through blood and fire?

Their theoretical strength may not be exaggerated, but their practical experience, on-the-spot reaction, and mental fortitude are far superior to those of students trained in academies.

Moreover, there are also "veteran newcomers" who have been accumulating experience for many years. Their strength has long been on the verge of breaking through, but they have not advanced for various reasons and have been waiting for an opportunity.

These people are the most formidable opponents in the competition.

Although Qin Ming wasn't particularly eager for a new spirit beast contract, the deep-sea tourism experience was still something to look forward to.

Little Fatty scratched his head, puzzled. "The Hall of Ten Thousand Armored Tortoises? I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before?"

The little fat turtle scratched its head repeatedly with its paws, its eyes sometimes squinting and sometimes widening, the whole turtle jumping back and forth between "thinking" and "giving up thinking".

Until he saw the promotional image on Qin Ming's communicator, a grin spread across his face, and he exclaimed, "Oh dear, this old turtle... I've seen turtles before!"

Qin Ming: "Huh?"

He never expected that the chubby boy, who hadn't left the house all day, would be even more well-informed than him!

"Where did he invite me to again?" Little Fatty tilted his head and thought for a moment, then spread his paws. "The turtle thought he was a scammer! It ignored him."

Qin Ming's expression changed from "Huh?" to "Huh?!"

Little Fatty seemed to sense Qin Ming's change in mood, his eyes darted around, and he began to engage in emergency public relations.

"So Turtle told him to go find you, Boss, but if he didn't, then it's his fault!"

Little Fatty skillfully deflected blame and shifted the responsibility.

Looking at the chubby boy's self-righteous expression, Qin Ming was momentarily speechless.

"Of course, if you, boss, don't take him seriously, then you should say it's your... no, it's the other party's fault!"

Halfway through his sentence, Little Fatty noticed the lines in Qin Ming's hand trembling slightly due to fluctuations in spiritual energy output.

He quickly changed his tune, switching sides at lightning speed to ensure he got his extra meal.

Qin Ming wasn't paying much attention to this; he was still immersed in his shock. "Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Even now, he still finds it hard to believe.

Little Fatty didn't answer immediately, but waited eagerly until the extra food was in his mouth before he brazenly said, "Hmm, turtles aren't face-blind, they can recognize each other!"

Qin Ming: "..."

I always feel like I'm not being treated the same before and after feeding. Do turtles also have double standards?

Forget it.

Qin Ming shook his head, deciding not to argue with Little Fatty.

"So, for the next match, Fatty, you'll go first, okay?"

The easygoing and chubby little fat boy certainly wouldn't care about the pressure of being the first to go and having no experience to refer to.

Although he is usually inactive and lazy, now that he has set out to work hard, it would be good to put his skills to the test in practice.

"Hmm?" Little Fatty crunched, suddenly finding the array crystals in his mouth no longer appealing.
