At this moment, in the live broadcast room, the faces of various teams flashed across the main screen from time to time.

In the small scene next to them, two professional beast tamers are organizing their materials and chatting casually.

Chen Fei: Wow, the audience is really enthusiastic! It seems our college entrance exam league is very popular this year.

Zhang Zheng: Indeed, this year's class is very impressive. I heard that many prominent families have gathered here as their new generation.

Bullet comments.

Heidi: We're doomed! With the powerful families involved, how can ordinary people survive? My Lanfeng, no!!!

Fried Mantou: That's hard to say. Even a commoner can be a king. Isn't Qin Xiao very strong? I think he has a chance to win the championship.

The beast taming community is in complete chaos: Give me a break, do you even know what a large family means? They have maxed-out resources from the moment they awaken!

Just his own rank is already at Silver level, not to mention those ancestral beast taming skills, the difference is terrifying.

Shaobing Town Government: So, this bird world, can it be destroyed? Look at these families, all fat and bloated from eating.

Hidden Master: What's wrong, Gray is in a hurry? Look at you, blaming the environment again?

host.

Chen Fei: Ahem, the league is about to begin. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 34th Qingzhou College Entrance Examination League in the 123rd year of the Beast Taming Calendar.

Zhang Zheng: Okay, let's turn the camera to the podium, where the leadership team of Qingzhou will be speaking for this league.

On the other side, in the Beast Taming Division's arena.

A group of about ten people filed out from the platform in front and walked towards it.

First came Mayor Ye Qingya and Deputy Mayor Zhao Jun, followed by the Deputy Commander of the Qingzhou Army, comprising the Dimensional Army, the Night Watch Army, and the Fire Army.

And then there are five ministers from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of People's Livelihood, etc., who are just there for show, and behind them are the heads of the major influential organizations in Gyeongju.

Liu Feixue, Wu Linye, and Bu Feifei were among them.

The scene quickly quieted down, and even the cries of the tamed beasts were almost gone.

Ye Qingya sat in the main seat on the stage without hesitation.

After scanning the scene, he reached out and adjusted the microphone in front of him, and two live streaming cameras were suspended directly in front of him to broadcast the live stream.

"Good morning, fellow beast tamers on site and people of Qingzhou watching on screen. I am Ye Qingya, the mayor of Qingzhou City."

Wow~

Applause rang out tactfully.

"Today is the 34th National College Entrance Examination in Gyeongju. Seeing the energetic students on site is truly inspiring; they are all outstanding..."

Qin Xiao was getting a little sleepy listening to this. He hadn't expected that this mayor, besides having a pleasant voice, was also quite adept at using official jargon.

Finally, after ten minutes of singing, reminiscing, and getting all fired up, they finally got to the point.

"This college entrance examination competition is divided into two parts. The first part is the team competition, which is an important criterion for determining your admission."

The competition uses a points system. Participants simply need to hunt exotic beasts in a nationally unified secret realm to earn points, with the total points used as the basis for judgment.

There are also specially designed mission areas in the arena. Completing a special mission will earn you a mission badge, which corresponds to 100 points.

Furthermore, unlike the points earned from killing regular monsters, these special badges can be stolen from each other, so please act according to your abilities.

In addition, the right to forfeit is in the hands of the team captain, but if more than two members of a team die, their points will be automatically retained and they will be eliminated.

Furthermore, each member of any participating team is prohibited from carrying more than three spirit crystals of the same rank, and is also prohibited from carrying functional or healing special items.

Therefore, all team captains are requested to rationally assess their own team's fighting strength and avoid being overly ambitious and rash, which could lead to premature withdrawal from the college entrance examination league.

At this point, Ye Qingya took a sip of water, and on the big screen, her full red lips were captivating.

Qin Xiao listened to the rules and stroked his chin.

So is this trying to simulate a real secret realm as much as possible?

Badges are equivalent to special rare materials or exotic beast eggs, which are valuable resources and naturally have the potential to incite conflict.

"The second half of the league is an individual competition, in which the top 100 teams from each city across the country can choose whether or not to participate."

The individual competition, as a tiebreaker system, helps increase the evaluation weight of individuals, thus gaining more and better favor and admission from Beast Taming Universities.

However, single-player arena battles are highly risky. All combat-type Beastmasters are advised to consider this carefully and refrain from participating blindly.

Ye Qingya quickly explained the competition rules, and at 9:30, the high school league and team points competition officially began.

In the middle of the square, a huge temporary teleportation portal was constructed.

Each team announced their names according to their ranking in the training competition, and prepared to enter.

After hearing his name called, Qin Xiao went to the portal and waited to enter.

Another squad followed closely behind.

The boy in the lead had long hair, loosely tied in a ponytail, and had striking eyebrows and bright eyes; he was quite handsome.

His expression was somewhat cold, giving him an aloof and unapproachable air.

He watched Qin Xiao's figure and subtly approached Qin Xiao's group.

Qin Xiao looked at him curiously, and the other man raised his eyes and spoke.

"You're not bad! You're barely qualified to be my opponent. I look forward to your performance."

His tone was full of confidence and calmness, as if he were stating an established fact.

Qin Xiao chuckled, not bothering to argue with this immature guy, just finding it somewhat amusing.

Seeing the smile on Qin Xiao's lips, Ye Lanfeng frowned slightly.

But he didn't say much, just turned his head away and ignored Qin Xiao.

A girl behind him clasped her hands together in apology to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao nodded slightly. This girl was a healing-type girl he had chatted with briefly before the training camp competition.

According to Zhou Lei's information, it seems to be the wet nurse of Yantai Middle School, what's her name again? Xin An?

Liu Piaoxu gently tugged at Qin Xiao's sleeve, and Qin Xiao turned his head slightly.

"Captain, this person is the most talented among this year's Awakened Ones in Qingzhou, his name is Ye Lanfeng."

I heard that he was recruited by the Spirit Contract Association, and his beast tamer is also a descendant of the association's president's beast tamer, with a talent level as high as orange!

To ensure his performance, his team was paired with three support characters who acted as healers.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao glanced at the other person curiously, but did not see any beasts beside him.

Has this awakened the Beast Taming Space?

Qin Xiao thought to himself indifferently, but then stopped caring.

Soon, as the group entered, Qin Xiao and his three companions also entered the examination secret realm.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Xiao and his three companions were standing on a beach, with a faint, salty sea breeze blowing by.

This team competition in the secret realm did not provide any map; each team was randomly teleported to a map.

Therefore, the first thing to do upon entering the assessment site is to understand the surrounding terrain and the distribution of the strange beasts.

These are all things we learn in high school beast taming classes.

"Judging from this, it seems we've been teleported to the edge of a secret realm?"

Zhou Lei stood on Xiong Er's shoulders, shading his eyes with his hand as he looked into the distance.

On the sea, a faint light curtain in the distance divides the area.

Ye Qinghuan thought for a moment, then looked at Qin Xiao and said.

"Captain, based on my guess, the closer we get to the center, the higher the density and rank of the alien beasts. Should we head towards the center immediately?"

Although it was a guess, the tone was very certain.

Qin Xiao glanced at her and realized she was indeed the mayor's daughter, and probably had some inside information.

But girl, is it really okay to say that with your live stream camera on?

"Ahem, let's head towards the center then. The exam only lasts three days, there's no need to waste time on the periphery."

The remaining few nodded. They were people who had experienced the Golden Rank Secret Realm, so they naturally had no questions about this small matter.

Qin Xiao released Ilya and mounted her. Ye Qinghuan rode the Crocodile Dragon, Zhou Lei rode the Bear Two, and only Liu Piaoxu stared longingly at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao's lips twitched.

"Come on up."

Liu Piaoxu's eyes lit up and curved into crescents as she snuggled into Qin Xiao's arms.

Bai Ling turned her head away in dissatisfaction and wrapped her arms tightly around Qin Xiao's tail.
