Outside the venue where the Contract Trial was held, the audience was nervously watching the constantly changing numbers projected on the giant screen.

The first thing to fluctuate was the contestants' wheat field harvest counts. Within five minutes of the start, about half of the contestants' wheat field counts dropped below 50/100.

"The first stage of this year's trial will be a locust plague, right?" analyzed an experienced local resident of Xizhou.

"Only a plague of locusts could bring the count down so quickly at the start," another agreed.

"Although they are just small insects, they are a disaster if they gather in groups. Alas... it's a good thing that we have the [Harvest Blessing]..."

"Look, someone's coming out."

Near the connection point of the venue, trial-takers who failed to defend the fields appeared one after another. They couldn't even pass the first level and could not go to the "Fenghe Basin", so they could only be teleported to the venue.

Most of these people were just there for fun, and they were just trying to have a good experience, so they didn't get much attention.

After a while, a staff member of the organizer, a beastmaster who had contracted the "V-type video system", came over and pulled out another screen at the edge of the giant screen projection, projecting a new scene.

There was a sudden commotion among the audience.

"Are we going to start monitoring the Fenghe River Basin? ”

"It means that someone has passed the contract trial and officially entered the secret realm..."

"He cleared the secret realm so quickly, is he very powerful?" someone asked.

As soon as these words came out, the Xizhou man who had spoken earlier could not help but turn around and look at the other party, "Is this your first time to watch the Harvest Festival?"

"The contract trial becomes more difficult as you progress. Starting from the fifth level, the difficulty of each level more than doubles. Of course, the people who come out later are more powerful."

"Those who have passed the level now, only barely made it through the first level of the locust plague, and had their wheat fields eaten up."

"That's how it is!" The tourists suddenly realized after listening to the explanation.

While the two were talking, the first person to pass the test had already appeared on the projection screen, wearing the Yunzhou University badge on his chest.

Perhaps because the space was not stable yet, the terminal of the "V-type video system" did not project the scene inside the secret realm, and the background was a blank and empty scene.

"Haha, the first unlucky person to come out this year is from Yunzhou University. This is not good for Yunzhou University."

"Keep watching. The ace player hasn't appeared yet. I heard that the genius researcher from Yunzhou is also coming to the Harvest Festival this year..."

“…”

Those who were watching the trial through the data on the screen were not only the visitors to the venue, but also the top executives of the organizers who came to the Harvest Festival.

The Harvest Festival is organized by the Beast Tamer Association of Pingchuan City, Xizhou, and the Xizhou Secret Affairs Countermeasures Bureau, which is responsible for maintaining contact with the guardian of Xizhou and paying attention to the secret realm "Fenghe Basin".

In the office behind the Contract Trial venue, the president of the Pingchuan City Beast Tamer Association was holding a cup of tea in a covered bowl, his eyes fixed on a projection terminal left in the office by the "Video System V".

Sitting next to him was the person in charge of the secret realm sent by the Affairs Bureau, a B-level investigator.

They were stationed at the scene to ensure that the connection with the Kuruo Spirit Deer was completed smoothly without any mistakes. After all, this was related to Xizhou's harvest in the next three years and directly affected Dayan's food supply.

The harvest festival held every three years is for the general public. For managers at their level, it is the most important window to contact the guardian god of Xizhou.

Of course, the Harvest Festival activities will last for many days, and it is understandable to try other fun things while stationed.

For example, the much-anticipated Contract Trial.

In the early days, this activity was only participated by local people from Xizhou, but gradually it became a place for children from wealthy families to compete with each other. Later, with contestants from all over the country, it became a special competition of a large scale, which became even more interesting.

Both of them knew very well how the trial illusion of [Guardian of the Wheat Field] worked, and they were even more aware of the difficulty of the last few levels and how terrifying it was for Beastmasters below level 5.

The last Beastmaster to pass the seventh level trial at the Harvest Festival was twelve years ago.

That person later rose through the ranks and successfully became one of the famous legendary beastmasters in Dayan.

“I wonder if anyone can break through to the seventh level this year?” The association president asked cheerfully, taking a sip of tea.

"I think the girl from the Han family has great potential." The B-level investigator from the Pingchuan Affairs Bureau replied.

He was also a native of Xizhou and was quite familiar with the local families. Looking across the entire territory of Dayan, there were few people of the same age who could match Han Ruoyun's talent. She was undoubtedly the most dazzling heir of this generation.

"Didn't they say that Yunzhou also had many talented students?" The association president stood up and changed his posture to look at the screen. "Look, there's another one coming out."

As time went on, more Beast Tamers appeared on the projection terminal.

Some were at the second level, some at the third level, and all were trial-takers who had lost most of their wheat fields in the locust plague at the first level.

The latest trial participant who appeared was known to both the Association President and the B-level investigator. He was Han Qi, who was also from the blacksmith Han family.

Han Qi's face was full of regret. He had barely passed the fourth floor. As soon as he saw the ancient ice pine on the fifth floor, his wheat field was completely destroyed and turned into [0/100]. He was also teleported here.

Looking around, Han Qi did not see his cousin among the trial-takers who passed the test, and his face suddenly became even gloomier.

The association president drank his tea leisurely. The limit of most trial participants was the fifth level. After all, the fifth level would see the combat power of the monarch race. Adding on the damage accumulated before, anyone who could pass the test and reach the sixth level could be considered a leader among the fifth-level beastmasters.

Those who cleared the sixth level were already qualified as master beast masters, and those who cleared the seventh level...

Without exception, all those who had been recorded in the Harvest Festival eventually became legendary beastmasters of the Great Yan Tianjiao.

After all, the enemies in the seventh level trial are likely to be the fighting force of the imperial race.

While the two were drinking tea and chatting, more trial participants left the illusion and appeared on the projection screen.

Xu Chenglu came out with the Red Snake Turtle. He passed the fifth level and died together with the Ice Ancient Pine at the last moment. He and the Turtle finally defeated the opponent, and his wheat field was also exhausted.

He looked around and saw familiar friends among the trial-takers who had not passed or been eliminated, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Although I already know this...but I am indeed the weakest among these people, which makes me sad.

The red-bellied turtle nudged the beastmaster's knee with its head, as if to comfort and encourage him.

Xu Chenglu patted his partner, then looked at the fifth-layer guardian crystal in his hand, hoping that he could meet a suitable earth-type pet this time and sign a contract with it.

Not long after him, Lin Lin and Han Ruoyun appeared here one after another.

Both of them looked unhappy. When they saw each other's faces upon landing, they were obviously stunned for a moment.

"...You have also passed the sixth level, Han Ruoyun?" Lin Lin asked.

"It looks like you are too." Han Ruoyun raised her eyebrows.

"This shouldn't be the case, classmate Lin Lin." Her regret for not being able to pass the seventh floor was immediately alleviated after she saw Lin Lin, who also had a sour face, and she felt like talking and teasing.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't seize the opportunity to say something bad to Lin Lin, you'll never be able to say it back later.

"Don't higher-level opponents have more advantages in [Inverted Space]? Swapping races with a general in the national ranking competition can still cause you to lose. There is no way that the emperor race on the seventh floor can defeat the low-level elite race after the inversion, right?"

Lin Lin, who was always sharp-tongued, fell silent for a rare moment, unable to find words to refute.

"Oh... I understand." Han Ruoyun's tone changed, sounding a little bit shy, "The limit is the monarch race, right? Did I discover the biggest weakness of [Inverted Space] at the moment? Forget-Leaf Grass has no way of exchanging with the monarch race--"

"Speaking of this, isn't it the same for you, classmate Han Ruoyun?" Lin Lin interrupted her.

"[Hypothetical Alchemy] can theoretically forge all kinds of tools. As long as we prepare in advance, it is entirely possible to resist the imperial race."

Lin Lin raised her arms and said bluntly, "…Because [Virtual Alchemy] has the same weakness as [Inverted Space], it can't work on objects that exceed their own energy limits, right?"

"Strictly speaking, this can't be considered a weakness." Han Ruoyun shrugged noncommittally. After all, are there really any skills in this world that can be performed beyond the limit of one's own energy?

If they had to fight, Han Ruoyun was not without the ability to fight against the imperial race on the seventh floor. It was just that she had consumed too many harvest points of the wheat field when she fought the ancient ice pines on the fifth floor. Not long after entering the seventh floor, she was defeated without a fight.

There was no other way. The steel-type servant and the fire-type charcoal were not good at dealing with ice-attribute skills. Han Ruoyun had already used up all her savings to survive the sixth level.

"Where is Mu Liuyue?" Lin Lin looked around but did not see the figure that attracted her attention.

"She hasn't come out yet, so she must be challenging the seventh level." Han Ruoyun said, "She has a monarch race pet, so she will be able to pass the first few levels faster than us."

Lin Lin couldn't help but sigh, feeling unwilling.

No matter what Mu Huoyue's final outcome is, the fact that he has lasted on the seventh floor for such a long time is already better than anyone else present.

This small duel arranged privately was undoubtedly a victory for Mu Huoyue.

At this time, in the office behind the venue, two senior leaders of the Harvest Festival were also paying attention to the progress of the contract trial.

"That girl from the Han family was almost there, what a pity." The B-level investigator shook his head.

"Too many wheat field points were consumed on the fifth floor." The guild leader hit the nail on the head. "People from the Blacksmith Family are still not good at dealing with cold environments and ice-type pets."

"Is there anyone else in the trial illusion?"

"She and the one from the Log Research Institute should be the last one...wait."

The president of the association saw the only remaining line of trial-taker data on the giant screen projection.

The contestant [Mu Shuyue] recommended by the Dark Attribute Research Institute of Jingzhou University.

Trial Illusion: Seventh Floor.

Accompanying pets: Pai Ya Bing, Xiao Yun Dog.

Wheat field points: [45/100].

After entering the seventh level trial for so long, I still have 45/100 wheat field points!

Mu Huoyue entered the seventh level while retaining more than half of her wheat field points, which meant that she passed the first few levels almost without any damage. Apart from the influence of environmental factors, she did not let the enemies in the trial get any wheat ears!

This is better than the data of the person who completed the game twelve years ago, and almost broke the highest record since the Harvest Festival Contract Trial opened the [Guardian of the Wheat Field] illusion.

The president of the association put down the tea bowl in his hand and showed an expression of amazement.

“It seems that the little ones born in the Fenghe River Basin this year will be able to see the real seventh-level guardian crystal. ”
