Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

The city wall of Nam Giang Province is 300 meters high.

The walls are covered with array patterns, giant cannons stand tall, and squadrons of flying beasts patrol the sky.

Above the city gate hangs four large, bold characters.

Nanjiang Main City.

When the Azure Eagle King landed in the Beast Taming Guild Square, there were already quite a few people waiting.

Most of them are young.

Sixteen to eighteen years old.

Each person was accompanied by a powerful beast.

Thunderhorn Tiger.

Golden Feathered Eagle.

Ice Armor Bear.

Wind-Splitter Mantis.

The weakest are all second-order.

These people are members of the Nanjiang Elite Reserve Camp.

As soon as Shen Ye landed, all eyes turned to him.

curious.

Examine.

hostility.

There was still a hint of resentment.

"Is he that SSS-level guy from Jiangcheng?"

"I heard that he wiped out the Zhao family just a few days after awakening."

"The Zhao family was destroyed by Inspector Lu, wasn't it? A student from a small town, the story is too far-fetched."

"Mid-stage second tier? His cultivation level has increased rapidly, but I wonder if it's genuine."

Shen Ye ignored him.

Lu Qingshan led him to the center of the square.

A middle-aged man in a black training uniform stood there.

He was not tall, but his aura was extremely heavy, like a piece of iron pressed down on the ground.

Lu Qingshan explained:

"Chief Instructor of the Reserve Battalion, Han Pojun."

Han Pojun looked at Shen Ye.

"I heard you've killed someone."

Shen Ye nodded.

Han Pojun asked again, "Are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid."

Do you regret it?

No regrets.

Why kill?

"They want to kill me."

Han Pojun stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"very good."

He turned to look at the crowd.

"From today onwards, Shen Ye joins the preparatory camp."

Someone in the crowd immediately spoke up:

"Instructor, I'm not convinced."

The speaker was a young man with a buzz cut, accompanied by a thunder horned tiger.

The Thunderhorn Tiger was crackling with electric arcs, its aura clearly at the peak of the second tier.

Han Pojun looked at him.

"Luo Lie, what are you dissatisfied with?"

Luo Lie stared at Shen Ye.

"There are limited spots available for the preparatory camp."

"He's from a small town, why should he be allowed to enter the camp without taking any tests?"

Han Pojun said, "Based on his SSS-level talent."

Luo Lie sneered.

"Talent is not combat power."

"This isn't the Awakening Platform; nobody eats while watching the pillar of light."

Many people around looked on with expressions of amusement.

Shen Ye knew that he couldn't avoid this hurdle.

He didn't intend to hide.

If you don't subdue one of the new recruits when they join the camp, there will only be more trouble later on.

Han Pojun asked Shen Ye, "What did you say?"

Lin Jin looked at Luo Lie.

"beat."

Luo Lie grinned.

"That felt good."

Han Pojun raised his hand, and a black battle platform rose in the center of the square.

"The rules of the preparatory camp state that challenges may result in injury but not death."

"Surrender, fall to the ground for ten breaths, and lose the ability to fight; the loser is declared the loser."

Luo Lie leaped onto the battle platform.

Thunderhorn Tiger let out a low growl, and an arc of electricity exploded.

"Shen Ye, don't say I'm bullying you."

"I don't use family secret techniques, I only use beast taming."

Shen Ye stepped onto the battle platform.

"You'd better use them all."

Luo Lie's face darkened.

"mad!"

The Thunderhorn Tiger pounced instantly.

It is several times faster than the Crimson Flame Wolf.

Lightning gathered on its claws, and the air smelled of burning.

"Lightning Flash!"

Thunderhorn Tiger transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed in front of Shen Ye in the blink of an eye.

Someone in the audience gasped.

"Luo Lie is getting serious right from the start?"

"This kid's going to get hurt."

Shen Ye's eyes remained calm.

"Candle Nine".

The shadow spread out from beneath his feet.

Zhu Jiu did not reveal its complete body, but only extended a snake tail, wrapped it around Shen Ye's waist, and dragged him into the shadows.

Thunderhorn Tiger missed its target.

The next moment, Ye Yu fell from mid-air.

Dark Phoenix Feather Blade!

Dark, feathered blades rained down.

The lightning on Thunderhorn Tiger surged, shattering all the feather blades.

Luo Lie sneered.

"this one?"

Shen Ye did not answer.

Because Zhu Jiu had already appeared behind Lei Jiao Hu.

Shadows entwined in the Nine Netherworlds.

Shadowy figures entangled the Thunderhorn Tiger's limbs.

The Thunderhorn Tiger roared, unleashing a burst of lightning that shattered the shadowy figure.

But it was a moment too slow.

Night Feather's soul burned and fell.

Thunderhorn Tiger's eyes flickered with confusion.

Shen Ye seized the opportunity, activated his Netherfire Battle Body, and moved closer to Luo Lie.

Luo Lie's expression changed slightly.

He never expected that Shen Ye, a beast tamer, would dare to attack him at close range.

"court death!"

Luo Lie unleashed his inner energy and threw a punch.

Shen Ye also threw a punch.

boom!

The two fists collided.

Luo Lie retreated three steps.

Shen Ye took a step back.

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

Luo Lie's pupils contracted.

His blood and qi are close to the peak of the second tier.

Shen Ye was actually able to overpower him head-on?

Han Pojun's eyes brightened slightly.

"Beasts feed on their own, making them physically strong as well."

Shen Ye gave Luo Lie no time to catch his breath.

He approached again.

The short sword was not drawn; it was simply held horizontally by the scabbard.

Luo Lie was forced to defend himself.

On the other side, just as Leijiaohu broke free from the soul-burning, Zhujiu had already fully appeared.

Bone Prison Strangulation!

The white bone spikes rose up, trapping the Thunderhorn Tiger in the center.

The Thunderhorn Tiger unleashed a torrent of electricity.

Bone spurs constantly break apart and then regenerate.

Night Feather hovered in mid-air, as the Netherfire gradually pressed down.

Luo Lie finally panicked.

"Thunder Tiger, Thunderstorm!"

Thunderhorn Tiger roared to the sky, and all the electric arcs exploded outwards.

The Bone Prison was shattered.

Zhu Jiu was also forced back by the shock.

But this was exactly the skill gap that Shen Ye was waiting for.

"Night Feather, Nether Phoenix Feather Blade."

This time, the feather blade wasn't aimed at the Thunderhorn Tiger.

Instead, it shot at the shadow at its feet.

The feather blade enters the shadow.

Zhu Jiu's Nine Netherworld Shadows erupted instantly, piercing out from the Thunder Horn Tiger's shadow and locking its neck and limbs tightly.

The Thunderhorn Tiger had just unleashed a thunderstorm; its old power was exhausted, and new power had not yet been generated.

Night Feather swooped down, its sharp claws stopping in front of it.

The Netherfire was only half an inch away from Tiger's Eye.

Thunderhorn Tiger froze.

Luo Lie also froze.

Shen Ye's scabbard stopped in front of his throat.

You lost.

No one spoke below the battle platform.

Second-tier peak Thunderhorn Tiger.

lost.

Luo Lie stared intently at Shen Ye, his expression changing repeatedly before finally withdrawing his fist.

"I lost."

He was quite decisive.

Shen Ye sheathed his sword.

Ye Yu and Zhu Jiu also retreated to his side.

Han Pojun looked at the others.

"Who else disagrees?"

The square fell silent.

If we go up now, it won't be honorable to win, and it will be even more shameful to lose.

Han Pojun nodded.

"very good."

"Shen Ye is currently ranked tenth upon entering the camp."

The crowd was immediately stunned.

Tenth Reserve Battalion.

This is not a normal camp entry.

This means directly entering the core competitive sequence.

Just then, a lazy voice came from afar.

"tenth?"

"Instructor Han, didn't you give it too high?"

Everyone turned their heads.

A boy in a white combat uniform emerged from the shadows of the training hall.

He had no beasts with him.

But as soon as he appeared, all the reserve camp members fell silent.

Luo Lie's expression also changed slightly.

Gu Chen.

Shen Ye looked at that person.

The system panel appears.

Gu Chen

[Realm Level: Early Stage of Third Tier]

[Talent: S-rank Beast Taming Talent, Lord of Mirror Beasts]

【Contract Beast: Unknown】

[Risk Assessment: High]

Gu Chen walked down from the battle platform and looked up at Shen Ye.

"I heard you're invincible among those of the same level?"

Shen Ye said calmly:

"That's the current situation."

Gu Chen smiled.

"Then hurry up and get to level three."

"I'll be waiting for you in the first position."

After saying that, he turned and left.

There was no provocation.

No nonsense.

But everyone knew that he had acknowledged Shen Ye as his rival.

Han Pojun looked at Shen Ye.

"In the preparatory camp, there is only one rule."

"Resources are seized by force."

"Rankings are determined by performance."

"If you want to participate in the Nine Cities Prodigy Battle, climb into the top ten and hold onto it."

Shen Ye watched Gu Chen's departing figure with a calm expression.

"Good."

He glanced down at the system notification.

[Defeat the peak Tier 2 Thunderhorn Tiger.]

[Gained Evolution Points: 220.]

[Extract Talent Fragment: Lightning Affinity Fragment 1.]

[Trigger Phase Mission: Reserve Battalion Summit Ascent.]

[Task requirement: Rank first within thirty days.]

[Reward: The third contract slot is unlocked ahead of schedule.]

Shen Ye's lips curled up slightly.

the first?

He likes this position.
