"Boom!"A roaring explosion echoed across the plains.
Standing nearby, Lin Su hugged Qiuqiu, who had just returned, and said with a smile on his face, "Well done!"
"Meow! (。òωó。)" (Piece of cake!)
Qiuqiu rubbed Lin Su's hand, its face full of proud satisfaction from the praise.
It had been a long time since they eradicated that nest of Tail Slap Forest Lizards.
After leaving the valley, Lin Su, with Qiuqiu, repeated the tactic, continuously searching for traces of strange beasts, shifting from waiting passively to actively attacking, and finding and wiping out nests of strange beasts one after another.
This method of exterminating strange beasts was ridiculously efficient; often, clearing out one nest would bring Lin Su several hundred Hunting Points. By now, he had wiped out over a dozen nests of strange beasts and his Hunting Points from these kills alone had reached over seven thousand, not to mention the points obtained from challenging rivals.
Together, they probably totaled over ten thousand.
At first, Lin Su would calculate how many points he gained from each kill, but now he had grown more or less numb to it and simply estimated roughly.
This time, his practical assessment points could probably put a sizable gap between himself and the other candidates.
It wasn't out of disrespect, but pets like Qiuqiu, with its wide-area damage skills and explosive output that easily wiped out nests of strange beasts, and its excellent vision that quickly detected traces of strange beasts, were indeed rare. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Missing either of those two conditions, they would not be able to score as effortlessly as he did.
In the past few hours, Lin Su hadn't failed to obtain new pass tokens, but compared to killing beasts, the points from pass tokens were too few. Plus, Frost Eyes wasn't particularly adept at searching for such hidden things, so the focus of both pet and master wasn't on this. Up to now, they had only gathered eight pass tokens.
"Meow!" (Someone's coming!)
Qiuqiu's voice rang out again, pulling Lin Su back to his senses.
He looked at the female candidate who appeared in the distance and was walking this way, a smile appearing on his face.
Another fat sheep coming his way?
Candidates who made it into Mountain City University's field assessment were naturally not weak. They were well aware that Hunting Points were the main focus of the assessment. Hence, after a few hours, each had accumulated a significant amount of Hunting Points.
On this point, Lin Su, the expert wool plucker, had the most say.
As time went on, he had noticed his rivals' Hunting Points growing more and more.
The flock was getting fatter.
Now it wasn't just about shearing wool, it was about eating mutton.
Without hesitation, Lin Su walked briskly toward the female candidate, but before he could get close, she turned and left without any intention of challenging Lin Su.
Ran away?
Lin Su was momentarily surprised and then laughed and shook his head.
If they run away, so be it.
Considering the time, the first stage should be almost over.
By then, he wouldn't be short of fat sheep presenting themselves.
Initially, Lin Su was somewhat nervous about the prospect of being ganged up on, afraid of an upset.
But Qiuqiu's display of remarkable strength in multiple battles over the last few hours had made Lin Su supremely confident.
The over ten thousand candidates in this examination field weren't competitors at all.
They were all fat sheep, right?
Next time he would select "super easy"!
As Lin Su stopped walking, a drum-like sound suddenly spread from the sky, shaking the surroundings and diffusing into the distance.
It was the hourly reminder signal for the assessment duration.
And now, it had sounded for the sixth time.
The first stage was over.
Lin Su took out an energy potion from his backpack, brought back from the Spirit Martial World by Gui Gui, and handed it over to Qiuqiu, "Recover your strength, up next is probably going to be a tough fight."
He held a tactical respect while mentally underestimating his opponents.
"Meow! (ᓀωᓂ)" (I'm ready!)
"Pop~ glug glug glug glug~ burp~"

A candidate and their pet navigated warily through the wilderness. Suddenly, the pet issued an alert warning.
Almost instantaneously, the candidate looked up quickly, stepping back several paces, and gazing up at the giant figure diving from the sky.
Was that...
A flying strange beast?
The candidate's expression displayed slight astonishment. Within the assessment area, there were airborne strange beasts too, not just terrestrial ones?
He hadn't encountered any before.
But since he had encountered an opponent, the candidate quickly steadied himself, "Prepare for combat!"
However, his composure didn't last long.
Because to his astonishment, he noticed that on the giant eagle plunging down, there lay a person.
A person?!
Before he had time to understand why there was a person on the strange beast rushing toward him, that person had already landed in front of him, stirring up a fierce Energy Storm.
"This is a hold-up! I challenge you!" With a shout, Ji Yun leapt down from the Wind Thunder Eagle's back, hands on her hips, looking at the candidate before her.
This was a fat sheep she had been following while riding her pet from the sky. The candidate had at least two thousand Hunting Points. Defeat him, and a thousand points were as good as hers!
"I'm... dammit..." The candidate finally realized what was happening, crying out in frustration, "You can't do this to me?!"
The spiritual beast turned out to be a pet!
Struggling to survive for so long, only to be spotted from the sky by a Beast Tamer with a flying pet!
