High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

Purple Star Abyss, outer perimeter.

Nearly a hundred different kinds of giant ships powered by source energy have landed on the land in this area.

Temporary camps for examinees were set up around each giant ship.

And in the central area of ​​this region.

One after another, martial arts training platforms have sprung up from the ground long ago.

Ding--

ding ding-

now.

The special communication wristbands of the tens of millions of candidates from all over the country who gathered here vibrated simultaneously, emitting a series of crisp mechanical prompts.

Ranked matches are about to begin!

[The information for the first match has been sent to each candidate's wristband. Please check it!]

"Whoa, here it comes!"

"The match list is finally here!"

"Each player has to play ten matches in this ranking competition, and points are accumulated based on wins and losses!"

"It's said that the first opponent is randomly matched, but that might not be the case for later matches!"

"I just hope to meet someone whose level of understanding is lower than mine!"

"I wonder which unlucky souls will encounter those monstrous geniuses?"

"..."

The candidates were buzzing with excitement and discussion.

Xuan Nu Camp.

Ding--

A clear notification sound also rang out from Lu Yu's bracelet.

"Take a look, who's your opponent in your first match?"

Jiang Xueying, who was standing next to Lu Yu, didn't even check her opponent at the moment, and immediately stared at Lu Yu curiously and asked.

On the other side...

Qin Shiyao's gaze also turned towards them at the same time.

Besides.

Around Lu Yu, a large number of examinees from Luo City had gathered together, subconsciously centering their attention around him.

Right now.

Their eyes were also fixed on Lu Yu with curiosity.

"I wonder which unlucky little brat got it!"

Almost all the test takers in Los Angeles had the same thought in their minds.

And the next moment.

Lu Yu didn't delay and lightly tapped the bracelet.

Swah——

A beam of light was projected from the bracelet.

[Examinee: Lu Yu!]

[Ranked Match Round: 1!]

Opponent: Sikong Ming!

[Battle Location: Arena 0001!]

"Um?"

"Sikong Ming?"

"Where do I sound familiar with that name?"

Beside Lu Yu.

Upon seeing the name, Jiang Xueying subconsciously muttered something.

And soon.

The crowd of Los Angeles examinees who had gathered around immediately erupted in a clamor of surprise.

"Holy crap—"

"Sikong Ming?"

"Isn't that so-and-so?"

"The top genius of Anhui Province, the guy who supposedly wanted to cause trouble for Lu Yu?"

"What kind of prodigy? Whether you're a dragon or a phoenix, you'd all have to kneel down before Lu Yu!"

"Great! The sunflower seeds, drinks, and bottled water I prepared earlier can come in handy again!"

"But the new rules don't allow beast taming, so it seems Lu Yu can't unleash his full potential?"

"..."

While the test takers in Los Angeles were discussing it.

Xuan Nu Camp.

A figure surrounded by stars simultaneously accessed the information on the combat bracelet.

Swah——

[Examinee: Sikong Ming!]

[Ranked Match Round: 1!]

Opponent: Lu Yu!

[Battle Location: Arena 0001!]

"Um?"

The imposing figure in white robes showed a slight change in expression at this moment.

"Lu Yu".

He murmured the name softly.

And beside him.

After examining their opponents, the many outstanding candidates from all over Anhui Province all turned their attention to the young man in white.

"Young Master Sikong!"

"Could this Lu Yu be...?"

The one who spoke at that moment was a young man dressed in blue battle armor, holding an alloy longsword.

He was originally one of the most outstanding figures in Anhui Province.

but……

In the provincial civil service exam not long ago, after encountering Sikong Ming, he immediately became obedient!

So.

Now, he has become Sikong Ming's number one lackey!

now.

The boy in blue stared curiously at the projection screen in front of Sikong Ming.

More precisely, he was staring at the name "Lu Yu" in the opponent's column on the projection!

"Hopefully it's not just a coincidence of names!"

The boy in blue muttered something.

then.

Under his expectant gaze, Sikong Ming finally slowly reached out and gently tapped the projection screen again.

Swah——

On the screen of light, the text changed in a flash.

Opponent: Lu Yu!

[Detailed Information]

Age: 19!

[City: Los Angeles!]

[Occupation: Beastmaster!]

"Okay, okay!"

"It really is that kid!"

After reading the text, the boy in blue burst out laughing.

You should know...

On this past day.

Lu Yu was a very popular 'celebrity' on the Xuan Nu!

Not only was he accompanied by a beautiful girl who looked like a fairy.

Even his assistant, Xiaoyue, personally accompanied him on the tour!

even……

They even moved into the No. 1 villa!

To know--

Even Sikong Ming, the number one genius in Anhui Province, only stayed in the No. 2 villa!

even……

After boarding the ship, Sikong Ming took a great liking to his assistant Xiaoyue and invited her to go on a trip together, but was rejected!

This was originally nothing.

But alas!

In the blink of an eye.

After Lu Yu boarded the ship in Luocheng, his assistant Xiaoyue actually clung to him and offered herself up for free!

Such a contrast.

Sikong Ming's face was completely humiliated.

And most importantly...

Sikong Ming is the face of the entire Anhui Province!

If he loses face, what face will the other elites of Anhui Province have left?

For a prodigy.

The most important things are face and reputation, more important than life itself!

"Oh shit!"

"Young Master Sikong, give him a good beating!"

"Damn, I really dislike this guy!"

"I was just thinking how great it would be to match up against him!"

"With Young Master Sikong taking action now, victory is practically guaranteed!"

"A sure thing? You look down on Young Master Sikong? It's a sure thing!"

"..."

now.

Surrounding Sikong Ming.

The group of outstanding talents from all over Anhui Province were in an uproar.

Everyone's face was filled with joy and schadenfreude!

can only say……

The ancients never lied to me.

The saying "beauty is a curse" is truly apt!

In fact, Lu Yu did nothing at all, but because of Xiao Yue, Jiang Xueying, and Qin Shiyao, he was targeted by this group of Anhui Province's prodigies!

but……

In this lively atmosphere.

On Sikong Ming's face, however, a mixture of doubt and caution appeared.

"A professional beast tamer?"

Sikong Ming stared at the words on the information panel, his eyes narrowing slightly.

If I remember correctly.

The newly released ranking rules specifically emphasize that beast taming is not allowed...

"Is it targeted, or a coincidence?"

Even as the top prodigy in Anhui Province, who has dominated the contemporary era, he has never encountered any rivals since his debut.

But Sikong Ming, who was always cautious, was still not careless in the slightest.

instead……

For this first battle, he is now ready to go all out!

"Please note—"

"When a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength."

Sikong Ming lightly tapped his wrist, and the light screen projection disappeared.

He raised his head, glanced around, and spoke softly.

The words fell.

The previously noisy group of Anhui Province's elites instantly fell silent!

They looked at each other.

In that instant, my respect and admiration for the number one prodigy, Sikong Ming, grew even stronger...
