After posting a thread on the Beast Master Forum, Xu Ran puts his cell phone down and then turns to the registration office.
He did not forget. The reason why he came to the Beast Master Association was to register for the contest.
He had the certificate now, there should not be any problems.
”1 would like to register, here are my credentials.” Xu Ran slaps the certificate onto a desk in front of an attendant.
A staff member weirdly glanced at Xu Ran who just left and returned, and then took the certificate.
He scanned the certificate and nodded slightly, “You meet the registration criteria, follow me for initial screening.”
“Initial screening? What is that?” Xu Ran blinked his eyes.
Zhang Yun didn’t mention anything about that, did he?
“Oh, because of the large number of Beast Masters participating in the contest we need to conduct a preliminary strength screening on the pet beasts during ’ the registration period to filter out players with very weak strength,” the staff member explained.
“Don’t be too nervous, the screening requirements are not too high.” The staff member casually tried to reassure Xu Ran and then turned on a test equipment. “Let your pet beast go in there, fully release its different skills for twenty seconds,” the staff member pointed to the electronic screen on the equipment, the result of the test will be displayed here after the test.”
‘If you score more than 60 points, then you have passed the initial screening.” “Okay.” Xu Ran nodded.
He does not know what level of strength Ziyun has reached now.
But the girl named Gu Ling whose pet beast had also reached the Starlight
Level of all skills should not be weaker than Ziyun.
She is just a freshman, and the threshold for a new Beast Master contest is under thirty.
In this case, could Ziyun’s strength be classified as mid-tier?
“Meow-” (“I will do my best!”)
Ziyun seriously nodded its head and then step by step entered the testing device.
The entrance to the testing device closed and the test formally began. Feeling the energy fluctuations inside the device, Xu Ran turned to the staff member and asked, “Has anyone ever got a full score?”
“Full score? What are you talking about?” The staff member was puzzled. “A score of 100? Isn’t the passing score 60 points?” Xu Ran asked curiously. “No, although the passing score is 60, there is no upper limit on the score. It reflects the overall combat power of the pet beast,” the staff member shook his head.
“Oh…” Xu Ran realised, “Then for the players who have been tested before, what is the highest score?”
“You want to know?” The staff member chuckled, “I advise you not to ask, it may get you frustrated.”
“No problem, I can handle it,” Xu Ran said sincerely.
He was really curious about how strong the contestants were this time.
“Well, if that’s the case, I’ll give you a hint,” the staff member grinned smugly, there are several staff members in charge of registration, so I only know the specific details of the contestants who register with me.”
“I cannot mention any names, but the highest score among them is 1092 points.” The staff member glanced at the astonished Xu Ran, “As you can see, I had advised you not to enquire.”
60 points is the passing score, and someone got 1092 points?
This sounded crazy, which Beast Master scored such a high score?
Simply not giving people a way to survive –
“That’s amazing,” Xu Ran sincerely said, “This is simply outrageous.”
“Indeed, these outrageous genius Beast Masters make people feel hopeless,” the staff member nodded in agreement.
“Don’t be too discouraged, someday you will reach that level too,” he reassured Xu Ran and then turned to look at the screen, “the result is out, you should be able…”
The staff member suddenly stopped talking.
He stared wide-eyed at the number displayed on the screen as if he were choked, unable to speak a word for a long time.
What’s my score?” Xu Ran turned his head to look, blinked his eyes, “So, it turns out that I am the outrageous one?”
Looking at the score of 1137 points on the screen and hearing Xu Ran’s somewhat puzzled words, the staff member was dumbfounded. He gawked at Xu Ran as if he had seen a ghost.
“Meow-”
Ziyun stepped out of the testing device, with a look of regret on its face.
It had originally planned to use Blood Fury inside the device, but it hesitated because using Blood Fury without the Energy Abundant Potion would lead to temporary weakness, otherwise, the score would be higher.
It just hoped that this score would be enough to pass…
It stopped mid-step when it saw the score on the screen.
By now, it could understand simple numbers.
This number seemed a bit higher than 60…?
“Meow?” (“Is this score high?”)
Ziyun looked at Xu Ran with doubtful eyes.
“It’s a little higher than expected,” Xu Ran stroked his chin, and finally looked at the staff member, “Could it be that everyone who registered with you is just weak?”
“What do you mean everyone who registered with me is weak?” The staff member was irritated, “among all the preliminary scores, there are only three… oh, including you, now four who scored over a thousand.”
‘So few?” Xu Ran was really surprised.
Could it be that this contest wasn’t as strong as he thought?
If that is the case…
Could he run advertisements more frequently?
“Grunt! Ha!”
In a bamboo forest, a teenager wearing a headband with the word “Punching” was practicing boxing with his Combat Bear which wore a headband that said “Hard work”. They were fully engaged in their boxing exercises.
“Brawl Bear Apprentice, let’s work hard!” The teenager passionately punched out, his punch stirred a gust of wind that blew the falling bamboo leaves away, “The New Beast Master Challenge Match is about to begin soon, it’s time to prove ourselves worthy of the Bamboo Leaf Martial Arts Pavilion!”
“Roar!”
The Brawl Bear Apprentice threw a cute but powerful punch. Even though it was one meter tall, it contained powerful energy. The whistling of the punch shattered the falling leaves of the bamboo in front of it.
Behold! I am fierce!
“Puppy! Let’s go!”
A short-haired girl rode on a colossal wolf which was two meters tall and five meters long, covered in thick white fur. She was traversing a dense forest. Even though the colossal wolf was rather large, it could move extremely fast. Despite stepping on soft mud, it left no footprints behind; it was as light as a feather.
Only tufts of frost flowers opened quietly where it stepped. They then shattered and vanished, leaving no trace.
“Not bad! Great!” Looking at the diameter of the frost flowers behind the colossal wolf, the short-haired girl laughed, “Finally, our last skill improved to a Starlight Level right before the contest. With the blessing of Starlight-Level Frost Flower Path, we are going to become the champions this time!”
The wolf howled in excitement.
“Hoot-”
“Dark Scale Dragon, I have good news for you.”
Gu Ling walked into a training room with her hands behind her back, chuckling, “The fourth Beast Master with a battle rating score over a thousand points has emerged. This time you can finally have a good fight… Oh, even you, Big Black, are here too!”
“Roar-”
A desperate howl came from the spacious training room.
“Keep up the good work!” Gu Ling exited the training room.
In the training room, a Red-eyed Demon Dragon slapped the Dark Scale Dragon sprawling onto the floor.
Keep on the intensive training!
