Beast Taming: My first spirit beast was a frog junior?

"All eliminated students, please leave."

After a flurry of activity, Yu Liping picked up a megaphone and spoke.

Zhou Li, holding the exhausted golden-armored beast that had fallen asleep, patted Xu Xian on the shoulder, "Brother Xian, keep going, try your best... uh..."

He looked at the students who had advanced to the second round.

There were two other students who were eliminated, including one with a bronze-type spirit beast, but those two were matched up against another student who also possessed a bronze-type spirit beast.

So at this time, there were still six students with intermediate-level energy level bronze-type spirit beasts, plus the big toad-eyed girl who easily defeated him.

Although I know my good friend's junior brother is quite good, I feel like there's really not much hope.

"Let's try our best to advance to the next round." Zhou Li shook his head.

"Don't worry, I won't lose," Xu Xian said, with Wawa beside him full of confidence.

The Snow Rabbit is indeed very strong, but it has defeated high-level energy-level spirit beasts. Even if it used a trick, it still defeated them.

"Anyway, keep it up." Zhou Li left carrying the golden-armored beast.

The other students who had just finished their rounds also walked up the stairs with sighs of regret.

Location: First floor lobby.

Zhou Li arrived at the waiting area.

There were some students like him, while others simply left the association.

Xiao Lili, holding the spotted cat, said arrogantly, "Zhou Li, Xu Xian can only bully me. He's about to be eliminated, oh ho ho ho…!"

Zhou Li rolled his eyes.

What are you so smug about? You're acting like an idiot.

I used to think he was quite good-looking and talented in beast taming, but now he seems like a complete idiot.

I don't want to pay any attention to the other person, lest I become foolish.

The association's underground battlefield.

The second round began soon after Zhou Li and his students left.

Xu Xian arrived at battle area number twelve.

My luck wasn't great; my opponent was number nine, one of the remaining six students who possessed bronze-type spirit beasts.

It's worth mentioning that Xu Xian wasn't very lucky, but Qian Hongwen was just as lucky.

In battle zone number three, the girl with the giant toad glasses who easily defeated Zhou Li and the Golden Armor Beast duo, along with the Snow Rabbit, faced off.

Qian Hongwen's expression had lost its previous relaxed and carefree demeanor.

He was arrogant, but not stupid.

Being able to consistently rank in the top three at Shucheng No. 3 Middle School naturally indicates an ability to analyze problems.

The golden-armored beast looked young, but it was actually a bronze-type beast with a mid-level energy level.

Yet it was still kicked around like a ball, which shows how strong the Snow Rabbit was.

However, Qian Hongwen remained confident.

His Blue-Eyed White Ape not only possessed the extremely rare Spirit attribute, but also had the Bronze-type and Intermediate Level 5 Energy level.

"Fine, I'll beat you here, and the championship will be mine." Qian Hongwen crossed his arms.

The blue-eyed white ape floated in front, its body emitting a faint glow like blue flames.

The girl with the big toad glasses, with her snow rabbit, walked calmly into the battle area like its owner, her body surrounded by fine snow winds, carrying a chilling aura.

The girl with the oversized toad-like glasses raised a finger from the frame and spoke her first words in a clear voice, "Given your status and position, is it really necessary for you to participate in this kind of competition?"

Qian Hongwen was stunned for a moment, his handsome face showing surprise. He really didn't expect the other party to ask such a question.

But since the battle hasn't started yet, he didn't mind saying a few more words: "It's very simple, if I'm going to do something, I'll be the strongest."

He held his head high and declared, "Whether it's a private competition organized by this association, a freshman competition upon enrollment, or the subsequent student rankings, I, Qian Hongwen, will be the strongest!"

"If that's the case, why don't you go to one of the three major beast-taming high schools or one of the seven top-tier universities?" the girl with the big toad glasses asked again.

"I..." Qian Hongwen's handsome face turned pale, then red, then pale again when he was asked the question.

With a look of shame and indignation on his face, he declared, "I will become the strongest, no matter where I am!"

"Oh," the girl said casually, her tone unmistakably irritating.

Qian Hongwen clenched his fists, already planning how to beat up the other party's snow rabbit later.

"Battle begins!" Yu Liping's voice echoed throughout the underground battlefield.

Battle Zone 12.

Xu Xian's opponent was a boy.

His spirit beast is a crane that is 1.5 meters tall.

This crane has yellow, white and black feathers, located under the wing armpits, on the upper, lower, front, middle and rear parts of the wings, with black tips. Its beak is 40 centimeters long and surrounded by black. Its head and eyes are bright red, and its legs are slender and bluish.

This crane is beautiful, but what's even more beautiful is that the black parts of its body are burning with flames, making it look like a giant bird of fire.

Even without using any power, one could feel a warm breeze coming towards them.

Even just from the appearance, Wawa was already feeling a bit uncomfortable, as this Firewind Crane was of a completely different level from Xiao Lili's Thunderspot Cat.

Xu Xian's expression turned serious.

Firewind Crane, with both fire and wind attributes, is a low-grade bronze-level creature with the talent "Burning in Fire".

They possess the power to control fire and wind, and because they can fly, they have a natural advantage in battle.

Flying spirit beasts are very difficult for ordinary beast tamers to handle in the early stages.

Not to mention that the opponent is quite strong.

Based on his knowledge and the state of the Fire Wind Crane, Xu Xian roughly guessed that the opponent's energy level was comparable to Zhou Li's Golden Armor Beast, both being intermediate level two.

From this perspective, at least Wawa's energy level is slightly superior.

However, especially in the early stages, a higher racial level can reverse this advantage among players of the same level.

Just like how Wawa easily defeated Wang Qiang's black wolfhound back then.

Aside from energy level, Vawa has an advantage in skill proficiency and racial level across the board.

So now we can only rely on skills!

Xu Xian was certain.

"Waa, surging bubbles!" Xu Xian gave the first order.

"Croak!"

With a sudden burst of energy, a transparent water sac swelled up in the lower abdomen of the neck.

With a single spit, a large water sphere, big enough to envelop Vawa, was created.

The beast tamer of the Firewind Crane was not an unlearned person who relied solely on it.

The boy praised, "The frog junior's habits mean that it dislikes hot and dry places in the early stages. Using the Flowing Bubble is indeed the best choice, and your frog junior's level is not low."

Xu Xian could discern the energy level of the other party's spirit beast, and the other party could naturally make a rough guess as well.

"If your opponents weren't me or those other people, you might have advanced to the next round. What a pity."

The boy shook his head.

"The Phoenix Spreads Its Flames!!" came a loud shout.

The flames that erupted from the black areas on Huo Fenghe's body spread rapidly throughout its entire body.

The entire crane cried out in a high-pitched voice.

With its wings spread wide and flames flying, it transformed into a giant firebird, with the intense heat of the rolling waves turning into vortexes of flames that swirled around its body.

The bubbling water of the Vawa was assaulted by the heat wave, and the steam evaporated into a wild, rising vapor.

The third floor of the Beast Tamer Association.

Mo Xie frowned. "Guild Master, isn't it too risky of you to arrange for Huo Fenghe to fight Junior Frog?"

Li Yang is the first high school student from Pingfu County, which is located near Shucheng.

The Li family is also a long-established family in the area.

This person may not be as strong as Qian Hongwen, but he is still genuinely strong and could probably rank in the top three.

In Mo Xie's opinion, the fact that Xu Xian's frog junior brother had an intermediate energy level already meant that he had the potential to become the champion in previous years.

He really didn't understand this arrangement.
