Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 276: You are still young and have plenty of opportunities

The Male Examiner’s expression changed, and he turned to ask, “Can you still introduce your sister to me?”

Wu Ding glared at him, “You’re dreaming!”

Male Examiner: “…”

As soon as the female Judge with a low ponytail entered the arena, the Yu Beast Masters waiting for the assessment immediately stirred.

“I didn’t expect it to be Wen Examiner; it seems this kid has no hope…” The words were sympathetic, but the speaker’s tone barely concealed his schadenfreude.

“Why did Wen Lei suddenly come up? It’s my turn in two more, will she be the Judge then?!”

“I’ve been watching this Judge since I came in, and not a single person has passed under her. This girl is in for it.”

“It can’t be, can it? The Yan Ling Dog is a Fire-type Pet after all. It’s just for an E-level Beastmaster qualification; there shouldn’t be much of a problem.” The male student who secretly photographed the Yan Ling Dog while queuing couldn’t help but say.

“Is this your first time taking the assessment?” The man in a white T-shirt sitting next to him asked.

The male student was stunned for a moment, “Yes, why?”

“No wonder then.” The man in a white T-shirt explained, “Basically, anyone who has participated in an assessment once knows Wen Examiner. The one currently in the arena, almost no one has obtained an E-level Beastmaster qualification from her.”

“Judges are not weak in strength and will adjust the extent to which they need to go easy based on the level the examinee is testing for. But Wen Lei, she never goes easy.”

These words stunned the male student. The Judge’s strength was evident; even if they sent out an Intermediate Pet to battle, their practical experience and skill proficiency would be N levels higher than the examinee’s.

If she didn’t go easy, how could anyone pass!

The moment he understood the situation, the male student’s gaze towards Qiao Sang turned into deep sympathy.

On the arena.

“Begin.”

After the two Pets stood still, Wen Lei said.

After speaking, she waited for Qiao Sang to make the first move.

It wasn’t that Wen Lei didn’t want to attack first; rather, she was worried that if she attacked first, the opponent might not be able to let the Yan Ling Dog display more of its strength, and it might lose in less than two moves.

“Okay.”

Qiao Sang was extremely calm.

Although Shi Gaofeng had told her that the female Judge in front of her was commonly known as “Don’t Even Think About Passing,” she had enough confidence in Ya Bao given that both were Intermediate Pets.

“Ya Bao,” Qiao Sang calmly said, “Use speed to solve it.”

“Ya!” Ya Bao immediately understood, lifted its head, and let out an excited cry, and a wave of heat immediately swept through the surroundings.

Jie Er Cat, the evolved form of Long-eared Cat, its speed can definitely rank among the top five among Intermediate Pets in the Yuhua region. Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with the opponent’s Pet’s information.

If it had been a month ago, she wouldn’t have had absolute certainty, but now…

“Holy cow! What skill is that?!”

“It looks like Flame Charge! But how could Flame Charge have such a grand display?!”

“Proficiency! It’s because of proficiency!”

Inside the examination hall, everyone exclaimed in surprise, and the Yu Beast Masters sitting in the back row waiting for the assessment stood up directly.

Only to see the Yan Ling Dog on the arena completely enveloped in crimson flames, the fire shadows flickering, and its true body appearing at the edge of the burning flames. Looking at distant objects through the flames, they appeared distorted.

At this moment, the flames and the Yan Ling Dog seemed to have merged into one.

It didn’t look like the Yan Ling Dog was using a flame skill, but rather that the flames were inherently a part of its body! As if they were naturally meant to burn on its body!

Before everyone could finish marveling at the splendor of this move, the Yan Ling Dog had already disappeared from its original spot like an afterimage.

“Substitute!” Looking at the blurry fire shadow charging like lightning, Wen Lei’s pupils contracted, and she quickly issued a command.

She took a deep breath, adjusting her suddenly surging adrenaline.

Profound Meaning!

This was Profound Level Flame Charge!

Such a degree of proficiency actually appeared on an Intermediate Pet!

Wen Lei’s mind was blank for a moment, but thankfully, her rich combat experience and extremely high psychological quality allowed her to react immediately.

Two identical Jie Er Cats immediately appeared on the arena.

Wen Lei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Jie Er Cat cast Substitute before the Yan Ling Dog attacked, and then the next second, her mouth opened, and her eyes widened abruptly.

“Whoosh!!!”

The blurry fire shadow in front, with the sound of wind and incredible speed, did not hesitate or stop. Instead, the moment the Jie Er Cat used Substitute, it split into two!

“Bang!!!”

The next second, the two Jie Er Cats, indistinguishable from the original, were sent flying by the fire shadow for more than ten meters, directly hitting the wall outside the arena!

“Jie Er…”

The two Jie Er Cats fell to the ground; one dissipated, and the other completely fainted.

“Hiss!”

Everyone gasped.

Instant kill!

If Wen Lei had instantly killed this underage girl with the Yan Ling Dog, they wouldn’t have been so shocked. The problem was that the one who was instantly killed was Wen Lei!

This was Wen Lei! The Wen Lei known as “Don’t Even Think About Passing”!

“Do you think Wen Examiner might have gone easy?”

“I don’t think so; who could withstand that Flame Charge from the Yan Ling Dog!”

“It’s not even about how terrifying Flame Charge is; how did it manage to create clones while charging? That’s a combination skill, isn’t it!”

“Terrifying, too terrifying! This doesn’t look like someone here to assess for an E-level Beastmaster…”

Everyone whispered, not daring to speak too loudly, lest Wen Lei overhear them.

This terrifying girl could pass Wen Lei’s assessment, but they couldn’t.

Wu Ding and the Male Examiner in the black baseball cap didn’t have such worries.

The Male Examiner swallowed and said, “Did you see it? It’s a combination skill, and the tacit understanding between this girl and the Yan Ling Dog no longer requires specific commands.”

“I saw it,” Wu Ding said distractedly, “Profound Level Flame Charge. Good thing I didn’t go up just now.”

“Yeah…” the Male Examiner said.

Wanting to battle the Yan Ling Dog was fine, but that was based on being able to easily act as a Judge.

But being utterly defeated in front of so many people was another matter entirely…

For a moment, Wu Ding and the Male Examiner were quite grateful to Wen Lei.

At least their dignity was preserved.

At this moment, Wen Lei stood frozen in place, her expression bewildered.

She, she lost just like that?

“Did I pass the assessment?” Qiao Sang asked when “Don’t Even Think About Passing” remained silent for a long time.

Wen Lei turned to look, as if just coming back to her senses.

She looked at Qiao Sang with an extremely complex expression and said with difficulty, “You passed.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Qiao Sang walked out of the examination hall with Ya Bao.

“Ya…” Ya Bao’s tail drooped, looking utterly dejected.

Shi Gaofeng excitedly went up to her, and when he saw the Yan Ling Dog, he was stunned.

That expression, could it be that she didn’t pass?

“Qiao Sang, your Judge wasn’t ‘Don’t Even Think About Passing,’ was she?” Shi Gaofeng asked cautiously.

“How did you know?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.

Sure enough, Shi Gaofeng patted Qiao Sang’s shoulder and sighed, “It’s okay if you didn’t pass. You’re still young; you have plenty of opportunities.”

Qiao Sang said speechlessly, “Who told you I didn’t pass?”

Shi Gaofeng was surprised, “You passed?”

“Yes, I passed.” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Then why does your Yan Ling Dog have that expression?” Shi Gaofeng asked.

Qiao Sang looked at Ya Bao’s dejected appearance, spread her hands, and said, “Nothing, it just thought it could have a good fight, but it ended up being over in one go, so that’s why it’s like this.”

“Ya…”

Ya Bao nodded, showing a sad expression.

Wanting to have a good fight, why is it so hard?

Shi Gaofeng: “…”
