The next day.
At Taize Lake, Husky wore an expression of woe, silently carrying a sizable backpack and walking dejectedly in front. Strolling behind it was a relaxed and content Bai Qi.
Although the trial assessment was only three days, there were many things to prepare.
Food, a simplistic bedroll, emergency medical supplies
Of course, Bai Qi wasnt going to carry such a large pack himself, he needed to find a porter.
With its vibrant energy and physical strength equal to that of an adult, the Husky was a natural choice.
Awooo! Awooo!
(I may not be a human, but you really are a dog.)
If not for the electrical device inside its mechanical limb, Husky was sure to rise up and overthrow Bai Qis oppressive rule.
But now
The wolf must lower its head under the eaves of a house.
Bai Qi!
Just as Bai Qi was preparing to register at the entrance, a familiar voice rang out from behind. He turned to see Gao Cheng waving at him.
I knew youd come.
Gao Cheng quickly walked up to Bai Qi, glanced curiously at the Arctic Ice Wolf next to him, and asked, Whose Arctic Ice Wolf is this?
Bai Qi replied, Oh, a friend left it with me, and I brought it here just in case it might be useful.
Although a First Stage Beast Master could only contract with one creature, some gentle creatures could be kept by ones side without a contract.
Most of those were used as pets, so seeing Bai Qi bring one to the trial assessment was a first for Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng chuckled and said, The Arctic Ice Wolfs sensory abilities are good, it might really be helpful in the trial.
Bai Qi nodded and asked, By the way, Brother Gao, do you know how the trial is being conducted this time?
Even though Bai Qi knew about the existence of the trial assessment, due to not being a Beast Master, he wasnt too clear about the details.
Gao Cheng paused for a moment and explained, According to tradition, we should hunt ferocious beasts or find materials to acquire points. The ranking will then be based on points, and it should be the same this year.
So, this was a test of the Beast Masters combat abilities and survival skills?
Bai Qi quickly grasped the purpose of the trial assessment. An army of Beast Masters, clad in camouflage uniforms and riding Arctic Ice Wolves, appeared from the banks of Taize Lake and swiftly formed a long queue.
These were all soldiers of the Beast Control Army. The creatures they contracted with and the resources for nurturing them were all provided by the government, requiring no contribution from the Beast Masters themselves.
The reason the Zhuge Family could gather so many undead creatures was that the Elf House was the government-designated supplier for army creature contracts.
Silence!
After the Beast Control Army arrived, a dark-skinned coach stepped out from the queue. He swept his gaze over the Beast Masters present and said loudly, In half an hour, we will start the trial. Before that, listen carefully to the rules.
There are a vast number of ferocious beasts, and many resources inside Taize Lake. What you have to do is hunt as many ferocious beasts and gather as many resources as possible. Different resources can be exchanged for points. Anyone who can reach the endpoint with resources worth 1000 points completes the trial.
However, this year, we will not set up safety points inside the field. We only provide you with a distress signal device. If you activate it, we will consider your assessment failed, and someone will escort you out within five minutes.
During the five minutes after the distress signal operation, your personal safety depends on yourself. So, think about it carefully. When youre ready, come to me to sign the safety promise and receive the point directory.
The coachs voice was loud and clear, everyone present could hear clearly. But after a brief silence, there were immediate whispers among the crowd.
Without safety points, what if we encounter danger?
I dont believe it, they must be trying to scare us, making us give up and not go to the Secret Realm Tower.
But what if there really are none
Then then lets not go.
Looking down at the chattering rookies, the coach felt a hint of disappointment but quickly concealed it.
Though he didnt know why the government asked him to do this, the effect was surprisingly good.
They had been at peace for twenty years. These pampered young Beast Masters had even lost the courage to go on an adventure.
It was a pity that the Legendary Celestial Brilliance had discovered this Secret Realm Tower, and at present, only apprentice Beast Masters could enter it. Or how could it possibly be these rookies turn?
Bai Qi was also a bit surprised by the coachs words. Although such a trial field must have been cleared of high-level ferocious beasts, ferocious beasts were still ferocious beasts. They wouldnt just target your creature like in normal fights.
Consider the fragile bodies of the apprentice Beast Masters. A single blow was basically crippling, let alone surviving until after five minutes.
Bai Qi glanced at the coach who was scrutinizing the crowd with an inspecting gaze, and signed the safety promise without hesitation.
Alpha was now at Zero Stage Eight Level, and along with his high-speed Supermodel and Steel Skeleton, he shouldnt have a problem with self-preservation.
Moreover, Bai Qi felt that this coach was trying to scare them.
In this peaceful era, even the army wouldnt easily gamble with citizens safety. Bai Qi believed many of them could understand this, but whether they dared to take this wager was another question.
After all, in addition to the threat of ferocious beasts, the surrounding Beast Masters were also rivals.
The coach only stated that reaching the endpoint with enough resources completed the trial. But he didnt say how these resources were obtained.
The registration process continued, and Bai Qi was reading the point directory in his hand.
The directory was very well made. Besides high-definition pictures, it contained living habits and skills of the beasts and even marked their habitats.
And especially for some ferocious beasts with higher points, the details were marked incredibly meticulously. It seemed like they were afraid that you wouldnt challenge them.
[Name]: Ice Ghost
[Race]: Ice, Undead
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Ten Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Freeze Fang, Blizzard
[Description]: Lives in the ice layer of Taize Lake, very irritable
[Points]: 1000
Completing the trial required 1000 points, and this creature was exactly 1000 points. Bai Qi didnt believe for a second that this was a coincidence.
Bai Qi smiled secretly, seeing all the ferocious beasts in the directory as progress for the Evolution Egg. If the entrance wasnt blocked, he wanted to go in right away.
Whether the Evolution Egg could be upgraded again would all depend on this trial!
