Such a strange character.
However, Fang Yulingâs puzzled gaze quickly fades, replaced by a look of
surprise and confusion.
The gap between this guyâs strength shown in the previous communication and his current status on the Beast Trainer Ranking seems a bit too large, doesnât it?
Comparing the past and the present, Fang Yulingâs gaze at Xu Ran suddenly becomes more guarded.
This guy, wonât his ranking threaten mine soon, will it?
âLetâs go. We are heading to Area C02.â
Xu Ran takes a deep breath and slowly speaks.
Tomorrow is the day of the Beast Master Points settlement.
Today, the three little ones have gone through all the previous rankings again, refreshing their test scores. Apart from Ziyun, who didnât use his Scarlet Battle Intent, the three little ones gave it their all.
Now, itâs time to finalize the three rankings of the Beast Masters.
I wonder how many Beast Master Points the three little ones and I can get as rewards after tomorrowâs first weekly settlement.
âLetâs go!â Mu Yunchao shouts, following beside Xu Ran, and they walk towards Area C02 side by side together.
Feeling a bit awkward to see Xu Ran accompanied by three pet beasts while he himself has none, a Hexagram Star Array lights up behind Mu Yunchaoâs head and three pet beasts walk out of it one after another.
The first one to come out is a peculiarly shaped human-shaped pet beast. It looks like a puppet from a shadow play, with each of its joints connected by threads.
One end of these threads is connected to the puppet pet beast, and the other
end extends upwards into unknown areas.
Due to this, its movements look quite stiff, like an invisible hand controlling it from behind, which gives people a slight feeling of horror.
Super Ability King Species, Sky Mystery.
At the moment of its appearance, Xu Ran couldnât help but take an extra look.
This was the first time he had seen such a bizarre pet beast.
So the question now is,
How to wash and protect the Sky Mystery?
After the Sky Mystery appears, the second pet beast shows up with heavy steps following behind Mu Yunchao.
It is a dog type pet beast with a particularly robust body, roughly five meters long. Unlike ordinary dog type pet beasts, it has a ring of peculiarly shaped fur wrapping around its neck.
The interweaving fur forms a shield that is as large as its body, flashing a metallic cold light.
Earth Attribute King Species, Steel Shield Dog.
A handful of Beast Masters in Xieyun City possess this King Species, which is
famous for its defense.
The current first place in defensive power also belongs to a Steel Shield Dog but
not Mu Yunchaoâs.
The Steel Shield Dog evolved from Earth System Lead Species, Earthrock Dog.
An evolution rule was found quite early on. Over time, a relatively stable evolution method was summarized and gradually spread with time.
This is actually a rudimentary evolution path, far riskier than the evolution path Xu Ran obtained directly from the system. But it is much better than guessing the evolution purely based on luck.
Only a second level town like Xieyun City has the capability to implement this.
After all, a large number of Beast Masters capable of evolution must exist to summarize the evolution rules.
Training Beast Masters and pet beasts requires resources.
And the level of resource accumulation is closely related to the strength of the
Beast Field.
More resources mean higher risks.
Looking at the shimmering metallic shield of the Steel Shield Dog and thinking that the one who surpasses him in the defensive ranking is part of the same species as this creature before his eyes, Cancan has a slight sense of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
This thing doesnât appear to be as hard as his shell!
Once he further improves his strength, the first place in the defensive ranking will definitely be his!
After the Steel Shield Dog, the final creature that appears from the wild wind is a bug type pet beast with the shape of a bee, flapping its wings. Its six tentacles and tail end all have chillingly sharp long needles, appearing quite threatening.
Wind Attribute King Species, Poison Stinger Mad Bee!
At the moment the Poison Stinger Mad Bee showed up, Ziyun seemed to sense something and turned his head to look. A flicker of purple electricity passed through his unusual eyes.
Itâs a shame that the Beast Trainer Ranking competition does not involve direct combat.
Otherwise, he would like to test the strength of this opponent before him.
âWhoâs first?â
With the summoning of the three pet beasts, the two of them had already arrived at the entrance of the C02 test field. Seemingly, thinking that summoning all his pet beasts would make him look more imposing than Xu Ran, Mu Yunchaoâs tone became somewhat arrogant.
âYou go first,â Xu Ran said calmly with a smile, pointing to the entrance of the testing ground. âI wonât compete with you for it.â
âHeh!â Mu Yunchao chuckled. âIt seems that you also know that in the Beast Trainer Rankings, those who rush in first are usually overtaken.
âBut!â A new level of self-confidence shined in Mu Yunchaoâs eyes, âI, Mu Yunchao, choose not to abide by this superstition!
âI create my destiny, it doesnât control me!â
âWait and watch!â Mu Yunchao made a taunting hand gesture towards Xu Ran.
âIâm about to establish a score that you canât reach.â
âOld Qu, you should be careful too!â Mu Yunchao turned to point at Qu City who had followed them, âI might even surpass you by accident!â
After saying that, Mu Yunchao turned and walked inside the testing area. Outside the testing area, Qu City shook his head, chuckling and sighing simultaneously, âThis guyâ¦â
Even Fang Yuling, standing nearby, couldnât resist her curiosity and started asking questions.
âHas he always been this arrogant?â
âYes,â answered Qu City, nodding. âAlways this arrogant.â
âWhy are you friends with him then?â Xu Ran asked, his curiosity piqued by the conversation.
At the question, a look of melancholy crossed Qu Cityâs face.
âWell, thatâs a long storyâ¦â
Xu Ran & Fang Yuling: âCould you give us the short version?â
âAlright, Iâll keep it briefâ¦â
Under their relentless probes, Qu City began to narrate the story of how theyâd met and become friends.
Time flew by, and Qu City finished retelling the story about them. Meanwhile, the doors to the testing ground opened, revealing a glowing and excited Mu Yunchao.
âAlmost surpassed you.â Mu Yunchao grinned at Qu City, then turning to Xu
Ran he added, âItâs your turn now.â
Xu Ran looked up, observing the current Beast Trainer Pet Beast Team Power Listing.
While standing at the entrance of the testing field, he could clearly see the third ranking on the hundred-meter tall leaderboard.
âThird place, Mu Yunchao, Pet Beast Team Power: 341221
âSee that!â Mu Yunchao smugly patted Xu Ran on the shoulder, âI didnât even use my full strength yesterday!â
As he spoke, a tiny pang echoed in his heart.
In his quest for rapid advancement, he had spent quite a bit of his Beast Master points on various items for his three pet beasts.
Seeing that accomplishment, Xu Ranâs face wore a look of surprise.
He improved so much again?
This Mu Yunchao, heâs quite impressive.
âItâs our turn now.â Xu Ran nodded, looking towards the three little ones standing beside him.
In response to him, the three of them stared back with determination and fighting spirit in their eyes.
The four of them entered the testing area together and the entrance door closed automatically.
Looking at Xu Ran and his three pets disappearing inside, Mu Yunchao let out a chuckle, nudging Qu City standing beside him, âOld Qu, if you donât pick up pace, Iâm going to overtake you!â
At the sound of Mu Yunchaoâs gleeful words, Qu Cityâs mouth twitched slightly. Seeing such quick progress in Mu Yunchaoâs abilities, he couldnât deny feeling a sense of urgency.
At the moment, the difference in team power between him and Mu Yunchao was barely two digits, which was almost negligible.
âI shall make a dash for it again later!â Qu City took a deep breath and slowly declared his intent.
âEven if you dash, it wonât be enough, youâve plateaued and canât create a substantial gapâ chuckled Mu Yunchao, âIâll let you have this one. For now, Iâll take third. But by the time we hit the next weekly score aggregation, Iâll be definitely theâ¦â
âDong- â
Before he could finish, a pervasive tolling of a bell echoed in the Beast Trainer Ranking area.
Mu Yunchaoâs laughter came to a sudden halt.
Seeing the names of the current second, third and fourth place holders in the Leadership Level Beast Trainer Pet Beast Team Power List lit up, watching Xu Ranâs name first surpass his, then Qu Cityâs. Mu Yunchaoâs laughter drained away, replaced by deep perplexity.
âWhat?â
