Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 128 A sudden drop to 8th place? This isn't even the limit!

You're probably too embarrassed to tell your friends!

Or perhaps the junior's classmates don't think highly of him?

It's okay!

Meng Ke had to make Qiao Bai feel recognized and warm from his companions: "Go ahead with confidence! I'll be waiting for you outside!" He promised not to let Qiao Bai be all alone!

Qiao Bai, unaware of what Meng Ke was imagining: "?"

Qiao Bai's five friends: "?"

To fill in the blanks with one's own imagination is a disease.

be cured.

Regardless, this unfamiliar senior meant well, so Qiao Bai waved to him and watched as someone fell out of the bubble. He then stood in the middle of a spot that resembled a magic circle.

next second.

Qiao Bai was teleported into the bubble.

"Wait a minute?" Meng Ke scratched his head. "Did I forget to ask his name?"

"It's okay! We'll know when he comes out!"

Upon being transported into the bubble, Qiao Bai discovered that both the ground and the walls appeared to be quite sturdy.

It's not as illusory as it appears from the outside, nor is it as easily punctured as it seems.

"What kind of technology is this?" Qiao Bai asked curiously. "I don't understand the technological ecosystem of the Beast Taming World."

Qiao Bai stomped his foot and poked the colorful wall next to him, which would occasionally and gently fade into other vibrant colors. It had a very resilient feel to it and was quite interesting.

next second.

A phantom silver-white screen appeared in front of Qiao Bai, with a slot for placing a Beast Tamer ID card. Qiao Bai swiped the ID card lightly.

A silver light swept across.

Verify Qiao Bai and his identity card.

"Qiao Bai, a freshman at Qingniao University, has confirmed his identity. Shall we begin the challenge?"

A mechanical sound rang out.

"start."

"Defeat as many of your opponents as possible."

The silvery-white screen left this sentence, flickered twice and disappeared instantly. A small, menacing spirit cat appeared opposite Qiao Bai and launched an attack on him.

"Meow—!"

Qiao Bai realized it in a second.

Good guy.

Isn't this just like the simulated battle room at Qingniao University?

Using supernatural biological data and energy, a phantom was constructed that, to a certain extent, possessed strength comparable to a real supernatural being.

Qiao Bai immediately understood what he should do next.

Smash the illusion!

Qiao Bai made a quick judgment: the little spirit cat was not very strong, probably only around the third rank. The little white snake was also at the advanced third rank. If the little white snake were still conscious, it would be the best choice to fight.

pity.

After waking up last night, it swallowed the last drop of Dragon King's essence blood that it had just taken a bite of, and the little white snake was still not fully awake for a while.

Qiao Bai could only turn his attention to Xiao Wu and the cat-like insect.

"Let's go, compete for the position, and see who can kill the most monsters," Qiao Bai said calmly.

As Xiao Wu and the cat-like insect's gazes met, it seemed as if lightning and thunder were about to strike—it must be that the bird/dragon was fighting more monsters!

Charge!

In less than three seconds, the little civet cat was neatly dealt with. Then, a stronger little civet cat appeared, but its fate was not much better than that of its predecessor.

shhhhh--

The swift Little Crow and Cat Bug eliminated the opponents in the first ten rounds. Each round consisted of only one extraordinary creature, with a strength roughly between the third and fifth tiers.

Xiao Wu: o(^｀）o

Cat Bug: (。-`ω-)

A piece of cake!

It's not as difficult as I imagined!

Then Little Crow and Cat Bug looked at each other—Hmph!

The birds killed six!

The dragon has also eliminated four of them!

There are even fifth-tier ones inside!

The cat-like insect proudly puffed out its chest.

Proud.jpg

"Chirp chirp!"

Dragon has eliminated an opponent even more powerful than himself!

Little Wu: "..."

Is it because it doesn't want to fight monsters of a higher level?

There are no monsters of a higher level for it to fight!

The little bird flapped its wings angrily, its large, golden-red eyes glaring menacingly in the direction from which the extraordinary creature constructed from data had emerged.

"Don't get too cocky. The next opponent will definitely be even tougher to deal with." Qiao Bai reminded his two little guys to calm down and not get carried away.

The two, Little Crow and Cat Bug, who were locked in a fierce battle, turned around and gave Qiao Bai a reassuring look: Don't worry! Don't you trust us?

Qiao Bai: "..."

I do find it a little hard to believe.

But he couldn't say that out loud, or it would make it seem like he was being ganged up on by Xiao Wu and the cat bug.

Fortunately at this time.

The next batch of data-constructed extraordinary creatures has emerged. Their strength hasn't changed much, but their numbers have increased from one to two.

Little Crow and Cat Bug: Yay! Go for it!

What do you mean by having one pet fight monsters at a time?

No, no!

What they need to do is eliminate their opponents while also stealing the last monster!

Qiao Bai watched as the normally exciting ranking competition inexplicably turned into a family racing event.

Qiao Bai: "?"

I can't quite understand the thought processes of my two kids.

Fortunately, the outcome was good, so he had nothing to stop it from happening.

……

"Huh? Where's Joe?" After challenging the [Newcomer Ranking], she finally made it onto the list. Although she was only ranked in the lower middle of the list, Qi Yue was still quite satisfied.

After all, there are so many universities in South China.

There are so many new Beast Tamers.

Her ranking of 426 is already quite good.

However, it was precisely because of this that Qi Yue roughly understood just how big the gap was between herself and the [Battle Power Ranking].

"I never thought there were that many Beast Tamers, but looking at this, there are way more than I imagined." Qi Yue pouted, hooking her arm around Lin Weiwei's, and muttered a complaint: "I saw that Shi Xiaoxiao, who's number one on the [New Student Ranking], is only barely 9987th on the [Combat Power Ranking], not to mention someone like me who's only around 400th on the [New Student Ranking]..."

It can't get through.

They simply couldn't get up there.

"Junior girls?" Meng Ke, who was waiting for Qiao Bai to come out, immediately spotted the two familiar junior girls, Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei.

"Senior Meng!" Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei also saw Meng Ke standing there. They looked left and right to see if Qiao Bai was there. They guessed that Qiao Bai either hadn't come or had already started the challenge. So Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei walked towards Meng Ke.

"Junior Sister Qi Yue is challenging the [Freshman Ranking]?" Meng Ke asked with a smile, recalling what he had just heard.

Qi Yue nodded dejectedly: "Yes, I've realized the gap in strength between myself and other beast tamers."

It's not just a little bit big.

It is very large.

It was so big that she was almost depressed.

Meng Ke couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Junior sisters, you are still freshmen after all. You have only been in school for a short time and haven't even finished a semester yet. It is perfectly normal that your strength is not as good as those experienced beast tamers. Don't be discouraged by this little thing."

"But... is there only one freshman left on the [Battle Power Ranking], the one at number one?"

Meng Ke was a little surprised.

The top three on the [Newcomer Ranking] were actually on the [Battle Power Ranking].

Although the position was a bit of a stretch.

The third place was barely at the bottom of the 10000s, but once you're in, you're in.

Unexpectedly, in such a short time, the second and third place winners were both squeezed off the list, leaving only the first place winner as the sole survivor.

Thinking about this...

Meng Ke couldn't help but worry about the junior student he had just met.

The junior seemed quite gentle and had a good personality. Meng Ke clicked his tongue, wondering what would happen if he were to be severely hurt.

Hey!

Meng Ke, take on the responsibility of a senior and think about how to comfort your junior when he comes out. Meng Ke, who is not usually good at speaking, has already started racking his brains to think about what to say later.

Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei, who were standing to the side, didn't seem to care much. As they talked, Meng Ke fell silent.

After all, we're not that familiar with each other yet.

On the first day of welcoming new students, they were in charge of Meng Ke. They exchanged contact information, and Meng Ke would occasionally send them information about Beast Tamer-related activities. They were basically friends who would greet each other when they met on campus, but that was about it.

It's fate that we met here today.

"Should we send a message to Qiao Bai?" Qi Yue whispered to Lin Weiwei, who hadn't seen Qiao Bai yet.

Lin Weiwei looked hesitant: "But if Qiao Bai is inside taking on the challenge, won't we disturb him?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue, who was typing away, slowed down.

"Junior, are your friends going to challenge the [Power Ranking]?" He wasn't eavesdropping on purpose, but he happened to be standing nearby and naturally heard Meng Ke's slightly embarrassed expression, but he still asked with concern.

Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei nodded: "He wants to challenge the [Battle Power Ranking]. We agreed to meet here, but we're not sure if he's already inside..."

"Go ahead and send it, it's okay. If your friends are really inside, they won't receive the message." Meng Ke pointed to the dreamlike bubble above his head: "That bubble is made of special materials, and it blocks electronic signals from the outside when people are inside."

Qi Yue decisively sent out the message.

Three minutes have passed.

There has been no response.

Needless to say, Qiao Bai has definitely already started the challenge.

"I wonder how far he can go." Qi Yue looked up at the dreamy bubbles above her head, rubbing her chin with one hand, and said with her big eyes full of curiosity, "Last time I barely made it to the 12th round before I couldn't keep going."

"Outrageous."

"That's outrageous."

"I only have one pet beast. How can I fight against a Tier 4 beginner and a Tier 4 advanced supernatural creature at the same time? The Fire Fox Queen doesn't have the ability to create clones!" Qi Yue complained.

"It sounds like it would be really difficult." Lin Weiwei hadn't taken the challenge herself, but just from hearing Qi Yue describe the process, she could already imagine how difficult it would be.

"Hey, I'll say it again, junior, you're a freshman." Meng Ke, who was waiting for Qiao Bai, kindly explained to the two junior girls.

"Generally speaking, third- and fourth-year students can easily complete the first twenty rounds, so the purpose of the first twenty rounds is to assess the average strength of the challenger's pet. Starting from the 21st round, the opponents will be at least on par with the challenger's pet. This is when the real challenge begins."

Qi Yue: "?"

Lin Weiwei: "?"

Both of them wore expressions of deep confusion: "Their strength is roughly the same as their own pet's? This... is it really possible for them to win?"

"No wonder I didn't make the list. So the 12 rounds were just a warm-up, and the rest were nothing?" Qi Yue's eyes darted around, her mentality slightly broken.

She thought it would be good enough if she could barely make it to 12 rounds!

"Although it's not easy, it's not as difficult as you might imagine." Meng Ke smiled again at the shocked expressions on the two junior girls' faces. The junior girls, who had just come into contact with a wider world, were full of energetic drive and didn't have much hesitation or looking around. That's why Meng Ke liked to interact with them and be their guide.

"Being on par with each other in terms of data capabilities does not mean that the superhuman creatures simulated will necessarily be stronger than your pets."

"You must have fought against opponents who were slightly stronger than you by one level, but you still managed to win, right? When both are at the third or fourth tier, strength is one aspect of victory, but the Beastmaster's excellent command and the good cooperation between the Beastmaster and the Beast can often achieve a 1+1>2 effect."

Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei nodded thoughtfully.

"As long as we can maintain this effect, it shouldn't be a big problem to get through at least 25 rounds. As for the later rounds..." Meng Ke paused for a moment.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Qi Yue quickly asked, "What happened next?"

"Further on, the strength of the extraordinary creatures constructed from the data will be a whole level higher than the strength of the beast tamers' pets."

Are your pets tier 3 or tier 4?

OK

Data constructs fourth- and fifth-order adversaries.

let's hit.

Go ahead and hit me.

They hit one at a time without making a sound.

Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei didn't know what the challenger was thinking, but they had already fallen silent.

Isn't this challenge mechanism more than just a little bit outrageous?

How... how do I fight this?

There's no way to win!

Qi Yue's brows furrowed, and Lin Weiwei's face was also shrouded in a faint sorrow... Qiao Bai... With Qiao Bai's strength, there shouldn't be much of a problem, right?

"Are you worried about your friends?" Meng Ke looked at the two junior girls with identical worried and anxious expressions, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Hmm... Are the female students' friends girls?

Not quite.

The two female students already have a very good relationship.

But if it's a boy... just look at that worried little expression, he doesn't seem like a regular friend at all!

Mencius dared to say that he had the purest feelings for both of his female classmates, simply regarding them as classmates who needed help, and occasionally sharing useful information with them.

But that doesn't mean Meng Ke was unaware of how popular Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei were—both were famous for their beauty in their freshman year, the combat department and the pet care major. Not to mention, they were good friends, and when they walked hand in hand, they were like a beautiful red rose and a white rose, attracting countless admirers.

However... it seems they have a protector by their side?

"Um... Li Gan, right? You're not waiting for him, are you?" Meng Ke suddenly realized.

That must be it!

Before Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei could even speak, a familiar voice rang out from behind them.

"Huh? Who's calling my name?"

The three of them turned around and met Li Gan's gaze as he scratched his head in a daze.

Qi Yuelin, Weiwei, and Meng Ke: "..."

Li Gan: "?"

Meng Ke glanced at Li Gan with a subtle look. Ah... if the two junior girls really had feelings for Li Gan, it would feel like a beautiful flower stuck in... cough cough.

"Where's my dear dad? He's already inside?" Unable to understand the look in the eyes of these three people, Li Gan stopped looking and strode over to Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei, asking with a grin.

Meng Ke began coughing violently.

No?

He had dealt with Li Gan before, but why did he find Li Gan a bit... simple-minded this first time?

Qi Yue: "He should be inside. Let's wait and see... I wonder if we'll see his name on the leaderboard."

As they spoke, Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan all looked up at the huge ranking list that was suspended in mid-air and filled with names.

They could see the rankings changing from time to time.

None of them are very big.

Those who are ranked lower are struggling to improve their ranking.

Although a change or improvement of one or two or a dozen places may not have a significant impact, it sounds better to be ranked higher.

However, there were no new entries on the list.

The ranking competition has been going on for over a month now. Apart from the first wave of people who made the fastest rise, those who are still on the list now are basically people with real talent and will not be easily pushed off the list, and their rankings will not change much.

Just then.

They noticed that the entire list had started flashing.

kindness?

Other people who weren't originally observing the [Power Ranking] were also drawn over.

"This is..." Qi Yue had a vague premonition, but she wasn't quite sure. She looked at Meng Ke beside her with a questioning look.

"This is a notification that someone has been listed." Meng Ke's voice was also a little tense.

For about two weeks after the list was first released, the list would flash constantly as soon as the venue opened, with people going up and down the list. There were just too many people trying to climb the list, because it gets harder and harder as you go on. Just looking at all those mountains above you can make you feel intimidated.

So many days have passed, and those who could climb up have already made it onto the list. Changes in rankings will not cause the entire list to flash.

but……

Who else could jump from behind 10,000th place to the top of the list at this time?

Which big shot forgot to climb the rankings?

That's unlikely... Third- and fourth-year beast tamers generally don't have many courses. The school will allocate more time for them to hone their skills or participate in extracurricular challenges.

Take the rankings for example.

The third and fourth-year beast tamers were even faster than the first and second-year students.

So... for some reason, Meng Ke recalled a junior classmate he had talked to not long ago, but hadn't asked for his name.

It seems like that unknown junior is also trying to climb the rankings, right?

Is it possible that he's a junior high school student who made the list at this time?

Meng Ke was somewhat incredulous yet expectant, his heart pounding with trepidation as he stared intently at the flashing list.

call out--

A name appeared from the very bottom of the list, pushing the current 10000th person off the list. Before the onlookers could even make out the name that had just entered the list, this rising star's name began to soar.

"Holy crap! This guy's pushing for the top spot is insane! He didn't even linger in the 9,000 zone, he just went straight up!"

"Not only that! Eight thousand have already made it through!"

"Seven thousand, six thousand! It hasn't stopped, it's still going strong!"

"Five thousand... four thousand... Damn! How can there be such a huge difference between people? I've worked so hard to challenge myself so many times, but I'm stuck at around five thousand, not even making an effort to move up. Look at them! Look at them!"

"Three thousand... two thousand... and they're still going! Damn! I'm starting to have shortness of breath, I'm about to have a heart attack!"

"One thousand... still going strong!"

The venue, which was originally noisy with everyone doing their own thing, became unusually quiet at this moment. It wasn't that there wasn't a sound at all, but everyone looked up at the [Battle Power Ranking] in the center, muttering something to themselves, their eyes full of jealousy.

After breaking into the top ten, the rate of name changes slowed down.

at last.

It stopped at number 8 on the list.

The onlookers: "!!!"

Countless huge exclamation marks flashed above their heads.

I was shocked!

I was truly shocked!

"A sudden drop to 8th place—?!"

Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

It's not that they can't understand someone climbing to 8th place, but at this point in time, using this kind of sudden appearance... well, they still can't understand it, and are even deeply shocked.

"Wait, wait! Don't be surprised yet! Take a look at that person's name first!"

Someone shouted, waking up the rest of the still-shocked crowd.

kindness?

What's wrong with the name?

You won't believe it until you see it... and once you do, you'll be shocked.

Eighth place: Qiao Bai, a freshman at Qingniao University, whose pets are Golden Crow and Cat Dragon, with a combat power of 59981.

"Freshman year? Are you sure I'm not seeing things?!"

"Wow, this combat power... Wow! He's less than 100 points behind 7th place! Excluding the top two freaks, the remaining people in the top ten all have combat power hovering between 6 and 5. If he... he can push his ranking even higher!"

"Golden Crow... Cat-like Insects... What kind of extraordinary creatures are these? I've never heard of them before!"

"Haven't you noticed something else terrifying? He, this person, he only used two pet beasts! Two! The top ten all used three pet beasts! Holy crap! What kind of demon is this? The combined combat power of his two pet beasts is equivalent to the other people's three pet beasts!"

"Absolutely! I used three pet beasts to climb the rankings, and my combat power wasn't even half of his! It's infuriating! Comparisons are truly odious!"

"Qiao Bai! Shouldn't your focus be on the name Qiao Bai?! That Qiao Bai! Qiao Bai from Qingniao University!"

Others: "?"

and many more?

Qiao Bai... Qingniao University... This name does sound somewhat familiar.

"Dragon King!"

Someone shouted something, and everyone else instantly remembered!

Qiao Bai.

Bluebird University.

Freshman year.

When the three keywords were put together, the legend of Qiao Bai immediately came to mind.

Old Master Huo.

Altera evolves into Argendragon.

and so……

"If I remember correctly, Qiao Bai should be a professor of pet evolution, right? Right? Right? At Qingniao University, he also majored in pet evolution, right?"

Others: "..."

I don't want to answer.

But some people keep asking.

answer?

How should I answer?

As beast tamers and combat students, isn't it normal that they can't compare to Qiao Bai in pet evolution research?

But if I can't even compare to Qiao Bai in strength... that would be shameful.

What a shame!

He was overwhelmed by a professor who specializes in pet animals!

At this time, the shock and blow to everyone from Qiao Bai's identity as a freshman was not as great as the shock and blow from his identity as a professor of pet beasts.

no way.

Because in the eyes of most beast tamers, those who choose the path of pet evolution are ordinary people. Very few beast tamers would choose this path, and even if they did, their pets would not be very strong in combat.

Qiao Bai, however, defied this stereotype.

What could they possibly say at this point?

"As expected of Qiao Bai! He's a monster! He's really too monster!" Qi Yue's face was flushed as she looked up at the list in mid-air, her face filled with indescribable excitement, and she was speaking without thinking.

Lin Weiwei gently patted Qi Yue's arm, her big, doe-like eyes brimming with laughter: "What are you saying? Qiao Bai's little crow and cat dragon are already very capable, so it's not surprising that they achieved this result."

Lin Weiwei paused, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly, "Wait? What about Qiao Bai's third favorite?"

kindness?

Qi Yue also realized what had happened.

"The contract period is relatively short, and the strength isn't enough, so Qiao Bai didn't use it?" Qi Yue tilted her head, saying uncertainly, then waved her hand, "Hey! Why think so much? Whether or not to use a third pet is Qiao Bai's business. Anyway, we just trust Qiao Bai!"

"That's true." Lin Weiwei nodded, also feeling that there was no need to worry too much.

If Qiao Bai wanted to use it, he definitely would have used it himself.

Li Gan chuckled to himself, "Hehe! No wonder he's my dad! He's awesome!"

Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian were also drawn to the commotion.

"Where's Qiao Bai? He's already on the list, but hasn't he shown up yet?" Zou Tang looked left and right but couldn't find Qiao Bai.

"Is he... still taking on challenges?" Meng Ke said uncertainly.

His mind was slightly confused.

He knew Qiao Bai.

He was also aware of Qiao Bai's achievements.

Meng Ke was aware of Qiao Bai's live streams and videos.

Because Meng Ke's hometown is New York City, he has always been paying attention to Qiao Bai, this emerging genius of New York City.

They hadn't been in contact before.

After making contact... Meng Ke suddenly felt that the junior student she had been chatting with earlier looked a bit like Qiao Bai.

Meng Ke: "..."

Unexpectedly, he actually bumped into a big shot, a big shot from another major, the kind of "junior" who is a big shot even though he is from a different major. Meng Ke felt embarrassed to say the words "junior".

In front of Qiao Bai, he was probably the younger brother.

"Cough cough."

After coughing twice, Meng Ke managed to adjust his mindset.

"It's not necessarily the end of the challenge that determines who gets on the list. If you fight for a certain number of rounds and demonstrate enough strength to be on the list, you'll be listed based on your current performance." Meng Ke, who was more familiar with the ranking system of the [Battle Power Ranking], explained to the others, "Qiao Bai... he probably demonstrated enough strength to be on the list after completing a certain round of challenges, so the list shows his current strength first."

"If he can continue to challenge and clear the levels, his strength assessment will continue to improve."

Naturally.

The names on the list will also change.

Other Beastmasters who also understand this mechanism but can still make it onto the leaderboard are at their limit: "..."

Good guy.

The difference between people is truly as big as half the world!

A combat power of ten or twenty thousand is barely enough to get them to the bottom of the list; that's their limit, and breaking through that level is incredibly difficult.

With a combat power of over 50,000, dropping to 8th place is a piece of cake for Qiao Bai, and he could even continue to climb higher.

Strike.

This is a huge blow.

Many beast tamers are already thinking of quitting.

But when they thought that Qiao Bai might be able to rise even higher... they didn't really want to leave anymore.

For no other reason than that.

They wanted to see just how high Qiao Bai could ultimately reach.

……

"It's round 28 now. The data they've put together to climb the leaderboard is quite impressive." Qiao Bai silently counted the number of opponents that Xiao Wu and the Cat Bug had eliminated.

The first 20 rounds were a breeze for Xiao Wu and Maomaochong.

Their strongest opponents are slightly weaker than their current strength.

The five-tier Little Crow and the four-tier Cat Bug teamed up to steal monsters, and the game ended easily with the birds flying and the cats leaping.

In the 21st round, the number of extraordinary creatures constructed from the data suddenly increased to four, and their strength was directly comparable to that of Little U and Cat Bug, making the difficulty extremely high right from the start.

But would Xiao Wu and Maomaochong be the kind of pets that get scared?

No.

Little Wu and Cat Bug were both very excited.

Great!

Finally, a worthy opponent has arrived!

Neither the cat nor the bird needs to be inflated anymore.

The opponents are clearly assigned.

It wasn't an easy fight either.

But who can blame them when both Xiao Wu and Maomao Chong are overpowered?

A kingly aura!

The King's Eye!

Shadow tentacles!

shhhhh--

Even a superhuman being created from data would be doomed to perish in the Northwest when faced with such unconventional skills.

However, compared to the previous 20 rounds, these newly constructed extraordinary creatures are still more powerful.

until.

They encountered a superhuman being whose strength surpassed that of Little Crow and Cat Bug.

Qiao Bai: "!"

Surprising, yet somewhat reasonable.

One is a low-level sixth-tier, one is a low-level fifth-tier, and one is a mid-level fifth-tier.

One less, but better quality.

Xiao Wu and Maomaochong didn't need to fight over them; they were assigned according to need and directly faced off against their respective opponents. The busiest person suddenly became Qiao Bai.

Previously, when facing weaker opponents, Qiao Bai could let Xiao Wu and Maomaochong do whatever they wanted.

As the opponent's strength increased, Qiao Bai also became more serious.

Fortunately.

Little Wu and the Cat Bug are no ordinary supernatural beings; they have also overcome this even greater challenge.

then……

Qiao Bai then received the news that he had made it onto the leaderboard.

"8th place, combat power of over 5? That's a bit low." Qiao Bai muttered to himself, something he knew he would get beaten up if anyone else heard him.

Are the two pet beasts worth more than 5 combat power?

What are you doing, kid?

Do you think you can fly to the moon?

Qiao Bai didn't want to go to heaven; he just felt that the results weren't worthy of the incredibly strong Xiao Wu and Maomaochong. He showed the results to Xiao Wu and Maomaochong: "Look, these are our results!"

"Although it's a bit low, it's still pretty good overall."

Xiao Wu: =v=

Catbug: OwO

Okay.

But there are other people above them?

No.

Rinse it off.

Eliminate the others!

Xiao Wu and Maomaochong exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Cooperation?

it is good!

Just moments ago, Little Crow and Cat Bug were acting independently, even fighting each other to eliminate one more opponent, but in an instant, they chose to cooperate.

When there is no difficulty, they can create difficulty themselves.

But it became more difficult.

They immediately stood together.

Don't ask.

The answer is that this is the tacit understanding between them.

The tacit understanding among family members.

The little white snake, still fast asleep: "?"

In other words, is there a place for the little white snake in her brother and sister's family?

A new battle has begun!

……

It's hard to say whether Qiao Bai has become numb.

However, the Beastmasters standing in front of the list, staring intently at it... have gradually evolved from being on the verge of collapse to becoming numb.

It's just a sudden jump to 8th place, isn't it?

After dropping to 8th place, it suddenly jumped three places to 5th.

They are not jealous.

They are not envious.

They really aren't... Waaaaah! I'm so envious!

"If Qiao Bai comes out, I'd like to ask him how he raises pet beasts. Does he, as a professor of pet beast evolution, have some unique secret formula for raising pet beasts?"

"I think it's not impossible! Look at Qiao Bai's two pet beasts, both with names I've never heard of before. Maybe these two pet beasts are a new evolutionary species that Qiao Bai bred himself!"

"So what if it's a new breed? A pet's grade and strength are indeed related, but to be this strong can't be explained simply by saying it's a special breed, right? This is strength! Real strength, you understand?!"

"Could that cat-dragon be a dragon-type pet? But that golden crow... it sounds a bit like a bird-like extraordinary creature? I don't know, I can't figure it out! But I do know that Qiao Bai's two pets must be very strong!"

"I never expected... I really never expected that I would be tormented by the Great Demon King and his pet beasts in NY City, and even after getting into university and coming to Jinyang City, I would still be shocked by the Great Demon King and his pet beasts! Waaaaah!"

"Hey bro, are you a freshman too? You know Qiao Bai? Tell us about him!"

"I know him, but not too much... Qiao Bai is the training ground demon king of NY City... Wherever he is, there are corpses everywhere, and no one can beat his heaven-defying pet beast! Oh, right, I think I know what that Golden Crow is. Before it evolved, it should have been a mutated Chinese bird."

Other beast tamers: "?"

"Hua bird?"

"Really?!"

"Aren't the evolutionary paths of the Hua birds just those few? What about the [Great-winged Hua Bird] and the [Singing Hua Bird]? And what evolutionary path does this Golden Crow follow?"

"Hmm... If it's Qiao Bai, I think I can understand it, I can completely understand it. He could even help Grandpa Huo's Altera evolve into a Dragon King, so why can't he find a new evolutionary path for a mutated Hua Bird?"

That makes a lot of sense.

After these words were spoken, everyone else fell silent.

It means approval or recognition.

Yes.

Before Qiao Bai made it onto the list, they weren't very clear about his combat strength, but they were quite aware of his achievements as a professor of pet beasts.

Given this premise, is it really that strange for Qiao Bai to find a new evolutionary path for his pet beast?

Not surprisingly.

They were just envious, jealous, and resentful.

So this major can be used in this way! These people are even more reluctant to leave.

No.

They had to wait here, waiting to see Qiao Bai's final name.

then……

As expected, yet unexpectedly, Qiao Bai... reached the peak.

First place: Qiao Bai, a freshman at Qingniao University, whose pets are Golden Crow and Cat Dragon, with a combat power of 118690.

The beast tamers present: "..."

Quietly.

well.

They once again realized that Qiao Bai was a genius among geniuses, completely different from them.

……

Beaver University.

Beside a large training pool simulating seawater, women wearing swimsuits, exposing large expanses of honey-colored skin, had half their bodies submerged in the special water. Every now and then, when they raised their hands, the fair skin covered by their swimsuits could be seen.

"Ice Mandarin Duck, Freeze at lightning speed."

"Wu—" The pet beast Ice Mandarin Duck, with its small body covered in colorful feathers but an ice-blue base color, suddenly exhaled a breath of icy energy into the distance. The water surface was quickly frozen, and before Ice Mandarin Duck could turn around and happily jump into the Beastmaster's arms, the ice surface quickly melted again.

Failed.

Bingyuan lowered her head sadly.

"It's okay, we can keep practicing. There's still some time before the competition." A sparkling, wild expression appeared on Su Fang's face.

"Learning skills is like that; it takes constant practice to hone them!"

"Don't give up!"

"Wu!"

The Ice Mandarin Duck, who had been listless just moments before, instantly perked up with the encouragement of the Beast Tamer.

They continued training without waiting for either the person or the pet.

A small figure rushed towards them.

"Su Fang, Su Fang! Something's happened! You've been overtaken as number one on the [Power Ranking]!" A petite girl dressed in tank tops, shorts, and slippers, looking like she could go swimming at any moment, ran towards Su Fang with a "plop, plop" sound.

"Huh?" Su Fang turned around and glanced at the girl upon hearing this. "Fan Dongyang rushed up? But if I remember correctly, his strongest pet, Miss Wood Spirit, is only at the advanced fifth rank. Whether she learns a new skill or something else, breaking through to the sixth rank is definitely impossible."

As he spoke, Su Fang glanced at the waterproof watch on his wrist: "I haven't received any messages from Fan Dongyang, and he didn't even brag to me about it?"

The girl, Su Fang's direct junior, gasped for breath. Once she caught her breath, she cried out, "No! It's not Fan Dongyang! It's...it's a beast tamer who just made it onto the rankings today!"

Su Fang: "?"
