Su Fang suddenly became curious.
"It just made the list today? I know him?"
Su Fang denied it first.
"No, I know all the more famous beastmasters in South China. Those who should have rushed to the top have already done so. There is no one who has not yet made the list. So they must be juniors or sophomores, those who I am not very familiar with." Su Fang touched Bing Yuan who swam to her side and analyzed seriously.
"No." The junior high school girl shook her head again.
Su Fang: “?”
"He's a freshman."
Su Fang: “!”
Su Fang's expression gradually changed from reasoning to shock, and then to disbelief: "Freshman?"
The junior high school girl nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, yes!"
"...Don't joke with me." Su Fang still couldn't believe it: "Can a freshman be so strong?"
Thinking back to her freshman year, she had already contracted two pets, and it just so happened that the ranking list was released, so she barely made it to the bottom of the list.
Tell her now that someone can suddenly become the first?
Su Fang's first reaction: It's fake, this must be a lie! "Oh! Senior Su Fang, why would I lie to you!" The junior sister glared at Su Fang coquettishly: "He's just a freshman! Senior sister, you know him!"
Su Fang pushed back her long wavy hair, her face full of confusion.
"Know him? I know him? How can I know a freshman?"
The three consecutive questions deeply conveyed Su Fang's confusion.
"From our school?"
As soon as Su Fang said this, he shook his head and denied it.
No no no.
impossible.
If their school had such a promising talent in the freshman year, it would have been publicized long ago. Even if Su Fang didn't often inquire about what was happening in the outside world, he would have heard some news more or less.
However.
No impression at all.
Not at all.
"Don't keep us in suspense, just tell me." Su Fang glanced at his junior schoolmate who had a shocked expression but also a bit of a look of anticipation.
The two have been together for more than a year. Su Fang knows his junior's personality of liking to watch the fun. This little girl must be trying to make something big happen.
"Qiao Bai!" The junior high school girl chuckled and did not hide it any more. She said the name with excitement in her voice.
Su Fang: “?”
Su Fang was stunned for a second, then finally reacted.
Qiao Bai.
She knew him.
Freshman.
Just ask, how many people can match all the above information?
Su Fang's mind immediately flashed back to the most popular news of the past few days - Mr. Huo's Alt Dragon successfully evolved into the next Dragon King after challenging three Dragon Kings! Actually, it was...
Su Fang glanced at Bing Yuan who was still spinning in circles and stepping on the water beside her.
"Qiao Bai... He is so talented in combat, and there is a hint of rationality in his absurdity." Su Fang rubbed his forehead and said with a complicated expression, "But it is still a bit absurd to be ranked first out of nowhere."
Not a little bit.
Very.
The junior schoolmate beside him also nodded frantically: "Senior Su Fang, you don't know, he is not just the number one on the space list, he first landed at the 8th place, and then jumped to the number one place!"
Because my junior high school sister happened to be at the venue at that time and saw the flashing picture of the list with her own eyes, I felt particularly involved when describing it.
Is this something a normal person can do?
oh.
The person who was able to evolve Altair into the Dragon King doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.
Su Fang took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mindset: "It's okay, as long as Fan Dongyang doesn't surpass me. That guy... Tsk."
As Su Fang was talking, he didn't want to say anything anymore.
In short, if she had to choose between Qiao Bai and Fan Dongyang, Su Fang would rather let Qiao Bai stand above her.
So what if I was outclassed by a freshman? It was better than being outclassed by a swordsman!
"What is Qiao Bai's combat power?" Su Fang, who had adjusted his mood, became more curious.
“More than 110,000.”
Su Fang: “?”
Su Fang, who had worked very hard to cultivate four pets and had just barely reached the 100,000 threshold, had a completely blank mind.
…
Nanfeng University.
"Brother Fan, you've been pushed down to third place!"
The young man, who looked ordinary, unremarkable, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, dressed in a popular style and wore a pair of glasses, and who would be invisible if thrown into a crowd, looked up at the person who came and a question mark appeared on his face when he heard the words.
"Third place?"
"Did anyone come up?"
Fan Dongyang blinked his eyes and said, "Well... I know all the famous beast masters in the third and fourth years of the Southern China region, and I have a rough idea of their strength."
"Did Cai Yan contract a new pet? I remember she said last time that she had taken a fancy to a spring snow pigeon. But even if she contracts it, it's unlikely that she will rush over to me. It takes time to cultivate it."
"So Ren Hong's Lark Hound has evolved? That's not right. He probably still hasn't collected a few resources, such as the Thousand Poison Grass, Star Dust, and Dragon Scale Fragments. Collecting these resources is more difficult than expected."
Fan Dongyang counted the people who might rush over to him one by one, and then rejected them one by one with reasons and evidence.
The younger brother who came to tip off: "..."
Once again, they deeply realized that their eldest brother was probably not a good person.
"Brother Fan, you..." The younger brother was interrupted by Fan Dongyang before he could finish his words.
Fan Dongyang: "It is reasonable to speculate that no one can surpass me."
From sophomore to senior year, Fan Dongyang, who had some ability, counted them all.
This is impossible.
The next one is impossible.
So what is going on?
Fan Dongyang was puzzled.
"Uh..." Beads of sweat slid down his forehead. He used two fingers to make a small gesture: "Is it possible that this person is a freshman and you don't know him that well, Brother Fan?"
Fan Dongyang: “?”
A big question mark appeared over Fan Dongyang's head again.
"Freshman, freshman." Fan Dongyang looked at his younger brother and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"There are only a few famous freshmen in the South China region. Even Shi Xiaoxiao, who ranked first on the freshman list, is only at the bottom of the battle strength list. If it were someone from the central region, maybe their performance would be slightly better."
Fan Dongyang didn't believe it.
"Qiao Bai, Brother Fan, that person is Qiao Bai!" Seeing that his elder brother was about to get stuck in a rut, the younger brother quickly revealed Qiao Bai's identity: "He rushed directly to the top of the list, squeezing out that guy named Su and you, Brother Fan!"
Fan Dongyang: “…”
You wouldn’t know until you heard it, but as soon as Fan Dongyang heard it, he immediately matched the name with the real person.
Qiao Bai.
He is considered to be a pet professor whom he pays close attention to.
Yes.
Fan Dongyang did not classify Qiao Bai as a college student because Qiao Bai's achievements had far exceeded those of ordinary college students.
"...Blue Bird University hasn't let him graduate directly yet?" Fan Dongyang's face was filled with confusion: "Based on Qiao Bai's research results, it's more than enough for him to become a lecturer at Blue Bird University!"
"hateful!"
"There is absolutely no way my reasoning could be wrong!"
Fan Dongyang became angrier as he spoke.
The younger brother at the side said: "Well... After all, Qiao Bai has just enrolled in school. Even if the higher-ups have any actions or arrangements for him, it can't be that fast."
The more Fan Dongyang thought about it, the angrier he got. But after he became angry to an extreme, he calmed down again: "What is Qiao Bai's combat power and what pets he has? Tell me his data."
"Combat power 118690." Knowing Fan Dongyang's habits, the younger brother had already written down Qiao Bai's specific combat power clearly: "The pets are Golden Crow and Cat Dragon. The Golden Crow is suspected to be a new evolution of a mutated Hua Bird, and the Cat Dragon may be a new species of dragon-attributed pet."
"Golden Crow's strength should be around the fifth intermediate level, and Cat Dragon's strength is between the fourth intermediate level and the fourth advanced level."
After hearing this, Fan Dongyang was silent for a moment.
"Just two pets?"
The younger brother nodded: "Just two."
"The combat power of the two pets exceeded 110,000? How did Qiao Bai do it?" Fan Dongyang's originally calm expression became full of doubts again.
Can't understand.
Unimaginable.
This was completely beyond his normal cognition.
Whether it is a fourth-level pet or a fifth-level pet, he has it.
As a data maniac, Fan Dongyang collected a lot of information on beastmasters from various universities except the top two in Star City, and he had a very good idea of the strength of the beasts of these beastmasters.
The minimum combat power of an ordinary fifth-level pet is about 10,000, and the strongest known combat power should be around 50,000. But whether it is Fan Dongyang or Su Fang, the combat power of their fifth-level pets is only around 40,000.
然后就是四阶宠兽的战力值，保底在4000，但是冲一冲，实力比较强的大概能有15000左右，再强一点就能突破五阶了。
苏放和范东阳的四只宠兽就已经处于这个数值中的优秀水平，两个人宠兽的战力值加在一起已经到了8/9万，冲一冲就能上十万了。
可没想到。
乔白，两只宠兽，轻轻松松地突破了十一万的大关。
“最近有假期吗，我想去青鸟大学一趟，不研究透这到底是怎么一回事我睡不着觉。”范东阳推了推眼镜，眼神幽幽地说道。
别说未来的事情了，他现在就处于一种非常激动，浑身都痒痒，迫不及待地去探寻真相的状态。
小弟：“……”
“范哥伱别想了，你毕业论文还没写完呢，班导说了你一个月之内要是还交不出初稿，你就等着被摁死在学校吧。”
“留级也不是不可以。”
这回轮到范东阳蔫儿吧唧的了。
好吧好吧。
越是让人想要探究的谜题就越是要留到最后，着急没有用，只能慢慢来。
再慢慢来。
……
乔白还不知道他已经被曾经的榜一榜二大哥大姐给注意到了，不过没差，毕竟成为了新的榜一之后，要面对的就是众人的注视和议论。
短短几个小时的时间，相关的论坛上就刷满了乔白相关的话题。
不是？
乔白难道不是一个宠兽教授吗，为什么在御兽方面乔白也这么厉害？ 乔白的那两只宠兽究竟是怎么回事？
有没人知道乔白其实还有第三只宠兽？
论坛一点进去，十个帖子有九个在讨论乔白，唯一一个没有讨论乔白的水帖聊着聊着最后还是聊到了乔白的身上。
“别说了别说了，我能说我今天才买了一本刊登了大佬论文的《华夏超凡》吗？上一秒还在研究着内容有没有可以借鉴的地方，说不定下一个龙王御兽师就是我，然后下一秒我就看到论文作者咻咻咻地上榜了，我：？”
“笑死！本人大四，毕业论文到现在还没有写出来，导师已经不止一次拿乔白来给我们打鸡血了，我本来不屑一顾，看完了乔白的论文之后我只想说——爸爸，救救，捞捞！”
“事实证明，乔白在宠兽研究方面的实力是杠杠的，谁能想到阿尔特龙自带传承中的进化方式那么的坑？要不是乔白的话，不管是霍老爷子还是阿尔特龙都讨不到好！真的，谁家正常人能想到用越级挑战龙王的方式来压制身体血脉中的本能啊，不知道还以为这是让他们去送死吧！”
“这倒是真的，反正要是有人让我去挑战龙王，在没有先例的情况下……恩，容我先跑一步。”
“等等，你们的话题是不是跑偏了？”
“没跑偏没跑偏，在讨论乔白身为御兽师的实力的同时，显然我们也没有办法忽略掉乔白另一方面的天赋啊！”
“有些话，我真的是说疲了，特么的——老天爷，为什么世界上会有这样方方面面都让人感觉到窒息的存在啊！我不求像乔白一样四面开花，但凡给我一点相关的天赋呢？”
“呵呵，老天爷说你不是乔白所以不行。”
“艹。”
……
星城。
御兽联盟总部。
十八楼中型会议室里。
两男一女三个头发花白的老人家正在对名单进行最后的商讨和确认。
“不管从哪个方面来看，这个奖都应该颁发给乔白，不然我们一定会被说是黑幕的。”一头银发，韶华不再，但却将头发梳得整整齐齐，耳畔还别着一朵小巧精致的胭脂红重瓣牡丹花首饰作为装饰的奶奶，眼神清澈地从其他两个同伴的身上扫过。
“你们是怎么想的，赶紧做决定，别拖拖拉拉的，我今晚还约了人一起去跳舞呢。”
其他两个人：“……”
“哼！一把年纪了还跳舞，成何体统！”国字脸的老人满脸皱纹，重重地从鼻腔中哼出一口气，不爽地说道。
“老丁头，别在那里酸唧唧了，要是和小花跳舞的是你，你早就乐得嘴巴都要合不拢了吧。”另外一个头顶秃秃的，但是有着一把漂亮的白胡子的老人乐呵呵地说道。
接着头秃胡子长的老人看向花重：“其实我是比较看好乔白的，但就是说，他的年龄是不是有些过分年轻了，最好再考虑一下，看看有没有其他合适的人选？”
“桑元你个老东西，一天到晚就会和稀泥！”老丁头重重地呼出一口气，满脸不爽地说道：“别在那里叽叽歪歪假装老好人，你这意思不就是不那么看好那个乔白吗，有必要说得这么弯弯绕绕。”
“学学我，直说，他其他的成就没有问题，但是他现在最大的这个成就，阿尔特龙进化龙王的这个，没有明确的数据可以证明他是真的。”
“基于这样的前提考虑，我们对人选的决定必须要慎重。”老丁头砸了下舌：“我最淡定的是……”
“他的成就和他个人不符，怕里面有猫腻。”花重抖了抖手里的乔白纸质资料，淡定地说道。
其他两个人不说话了。
是这么回事。
乔白的成就亮眼，实在是太亮眼了。
特别是放在一群入行不过几年的宠兽教授中间，乔白瞬间就变成了人群中最闪亮的那颗星，想不注意都不行。
但问题就在于，这份成就实在是太亮眼了。
亮眼到让人忍不住去怀疑。
除了花重以外，剩下的两个人心里多多少少都有些疑虑，桑元摸了摸自己的胡子，试探地说道：“其实乔白还年轻，要是他真的有这样的天赋，再等一年拿奖也不迟对吧？”
“至于今年的奖项……”桑元看了看其他人的成就和履历，表情有那么点难看。
额……除了乔白，这么多人里面就再没有一个能拿得出手的嘛！
桑元忍不住在心里小声地抱怨着。
难。
做这个审核的工作实在是太难了。
一旁总是和桑元对着来的老丁头瞬间就从老对头的表情中，看出了老对头的为难之处。
看到老对头为难本来应该是一件开心的事情。
前提是他没有也被这件事情给难为到。
两个人的表情一个比一个地看。
头发花白的花重笑得花枝乱颤，头上的牡丹花瓣都一抖一抖的，可以看得出来是真的很开心了。
“随着这些年宠兽教授行业越来越专业，越来越严谨，天才的数量本来就在减少。”
“我知道你们在担心什么，你们不就怕乔白又是另外一个阿比古嘛，但乔白的情况能和阿比古一样吗？完全不是一回事好吧！”
说着花重对桌子对面的两个人送上一对大大的白眼，里面满是不屑的情绪。
老丁头和桑元：“……”
咳咳。
事情确实是这么一回事，但是吧……
“乔白是我们自家人这件事就不说了，乔白的过往和经历都是有据可考的。”
“乔白是个孤儿，在觉醒御兽师天赋之前连吃饱饭都难，自然没有机会接触到宠兽进化专业相关的信息。但他在这方面就是有天赋，是个天才，他只是缺乏一个契机。”
“在偶然发现了蜜虫新的进化路线后，他自然而然地对这方面的多了几分兴趣，也顺理成章地一冲而起，一遇风云便化龙，有问题嘛？”
花重双手一摊：“我觉得没问题。”
桑元和老丁头的表情看起来还是有点纠结：“话是这么说，但是吧……”
他们就是觉得有点早。
再等个一年把奖项颁发给乔白也不算迟吧？
原本不对付的两个人对视了一眼，从彼此的眼神中看到了相似的想法。
然后……
yue 有被恶心到！ 没想到居然和死对头心意相通了！
花重再一次被这两个老家伙给逗乐了。
“行吧，你们毕竟是两个人，你们要是都是这个想法我也没办法。”花重咂了咂嘴，表情淡定地说道，好像刚才据理力争的那个人不是她一样。
“不过我要提醒你们一件事。”说着花重挑了挑眉，看了一眼手机：“我刚刚收到消息，华南地区大学御兽师榜单开了。”
“开了已经有一两个月了吧，现在拿出来说干吗？”桑元摸着胡子，脸上浮现出不解的表情。
“华南地区又不是兽潮第一线，培养出来的御兽师也就那样，都是花花架子，一点煞气都没有。”老丁头撇了撇嘴，一副不是很看得起的模样：“真能拿出手的御兽师也就战力榜排前面的那几个。”
“做人别太苛刻，不同的地区培育出来的御兽师本来就各有不同，至少华南地区的学术氛围很浓重。”花重对这两个人简直无语了。
Seeing that her topic was about to be led off track, Hua Zhong quickly pulled the topic back: "Really, the topic was led off by you two old guys. I almost forgot what I was going to say."
"I just received news that Qiao Bai landed at the top of the combat power list this afternoon."
Sang Yuan: “?”
Old Dingtou: “?”
Small head, big question mark.
"Qiao Bai? Which Qiao Bai?" Sang Yuan's tone and eyes were filled with deep doubt.
Although Old Ding didn't say anything, the expression on his face and the emotions in his eyes conveyed almost the same meaning.
"Which other Qiao Bai?" Hua Zhong said with a smile. She pointed to the information on the desk and said, "Of course it's this Qiao Bai."
Sang Yuan, who was stroking his long white beard, accidentally pulled out several hairs due to a trembling hand when he heard this.
Sang Yuan, who usually cared most about his beard, didn't care about that at this moment: "Is this true? Aren't they two people with the same name and surname?"
"Qiao Bai, a freshman at Blue Bird University, with two pets, Jinwu and Maomaolong. Find me a Qiao Bai with the same name."
Sang Yuan: “…”
Not found.
The information was so detailed that it matched the school's. What else was there to question? "This... this is really..." Sang Yuan grunted for a long time, his face changed several times, and in the end he couldn't think of a good adjective. He sighed and said, "Talent... This can only be said to be a talent that is difficult to replicate!"
