Chen Yi was slightly surprised when he heard his own name.
I never expected to be on the first list to play...
He stood up, his figure leaping from the chair like a ghost.
In a few leaps, he was already on the field.
At the same time, he also saw a familiar figure.
That guy in straw sandals, with a simple and unassuming demeanor, seems to be Manli's older brother?
The other person also looked at him, and the two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.
The two zones are not far apart, and if it weren't for the upcoming exams, they could even chat for a bit.
"Buzz!"
Once all sixteen people had arrived, a transparent barrier separated the different areas.
"Clang!"
The iron gates behind each section suddenly opened.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of dark figures darted out from within.
The shadowy figures were extremely agile, with nimble feet, slender arms, and a variety of strange walking postures.
"This is... a stone goblin?"
Anyone with sufficient knowledge of beast control can almost always recognize these monsters at a glance.
It is said to be a primate monster that sprang from a stone.
They have brains that are smarter than those of ordinary level 1 monsters, excellent defense, but are incredibly mischievous.
Even if they fall from a cliff tens of meters high, they can remain unharmed.
"good!"
The proctor nodded slightly.
"There are 48 stone goblins in total. Three will enter each area. You need to subdue them as many as possible within six minutes."
"Remaining time and number of drives are both important scoring criteria!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the transparent barriers flickered slightly, allowing the stone goblins to enter the sixteen zones.
Chen Yi looked at the three cunning stone goblins and silently took out his bone whistle.
This joint exam of the five schools is much more rigorous than the monthly exam of Xiande, and all candidates are facing the same type of monster.
This tests how cultivators respond to being surrounded by three demonic beasts.
For Chen Yi, Shi Xiao's strength was nothing to fear.
After all, each of these stone goblins, taken individually, is only about the seventh level of Qi Refining.
For top geniuses who have already reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, what they really need to consider is speed and quality.
"Ooh~"
The melodious tune of the bone whistle began to play.
The stone goblins immediately covered their heads with their hands, trying to plug their ears with their fingers.
From his seat, Hou Xiangheng exclaimed, "Shi Xiao is indeed clever; he actually knows how to cover his ears with his hands!"
He changed the subject, asking curiously, "Speaking of which, why does the bone whistle Chen Yi blew look somewhat familiar?"
Sun Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the girl named Manli from the last beast-savage exchange program!"
He seemed to smell the hot gossip posts on the forum again.
......
On the field, Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly.
These beasts are indeed quite intelligent...
Unfortunately, I still have a backup plan!
"Ooh~"
He continued playing the tune, his body moving nimbly.
In the blink of an eye, they found themselves next to one of the stone goblins.
"Whoosh!"
With a kick, the stone demon, who was already covering its ears with its hands, had no choice but to take the blow.
"Bang!"
Its defensive capabilities are indeed outstanding, capable of withstanding even attacks from the tenth level of Qi Refining.
But faced with Chen Yi's terrifying physical strength, it could no longer hold on, and its ears were once again filled with the sound of the bone whistle.
"Creak!"
The stone goblin emitted an unpleasant sound, its pupils twitched incessantly, and its sparse hairs stood on end like needles.
At that moment, Chen Yi did the same thing, kicking over the other two stone goblins.
Their prized agility was nothing but child's play in front of Chen Yi, who had mastered the "Perfect" Wraith Step...
Without the means of covering their ears, they were completely affected by the Soul-Soothing Bone Whistle, their emotional fluctuations became extremely obvious, and they were full of flaws!
Chen Yi seized the opportunity and, in the blink of an eye, fired three marks.
These are all temporary beast-taming marks. With his current spiritual strength, he can easily cast three at the same time.
Don't forget, he also has the entry for "utterly loyal".
Since was upgraded to level 2, [Loyalty] has been enhanced.
In addition to the original version, Chen Yi's charm value for unfamiliar monsters has been increased, making it easier for him to establish contact with them.
Therefore, at this moment, when he simultaneously commanded three stone demons, the resistance he encountered was not as severe as he had imagined...
In less than half a minute, he had implanted three marks into the stone demon's sea of consciousness.
"Gurgle..."
The three stone goblins stood obediently around Chen Yi, their gazes becoming incredibly clear and devout.
For at least the next few minutes, they will be at Chen Yi's disposal.
"To control three stone goblins so decisively, this student from Xiande Middle School has an exceptionally high level of beast-taming skills!" The proctor from Cangyan High School murmured, his expression turning serious.
"Wait, why aren't those three stone goblins attacking him anymore?"
Some people haven't even realized what's going on yet.
It wasn't until the proctor came to Chen Yi's side that everyone realized what was going on.
"Holy crap! He's already succeeded in getting it working?"
"How is that possible? It hasn't even been a minute yet!"
"This is...a person from Xiande?"
Both Cangyan and Jiuding were somewhat surprised.
A girl from Jiuding High School stared at Chen Yi on the field and patted the human-shaped bench beneath her: "Why have I never heard of this person before?"
"I don't know. It seems that this Chen Yi wasn't on the list of the top ten in the last Xiande monthly exam," the boy lying beneath her, acting as a seat, said calmly.
He was already used to being in this chair.
Despite being a "Nine Cauldrons" level powerhouse at Jiuding High School, he was still willing to become a tool.
The person sitting on him was the top student from Jiuding High School, and a strong contender for first place in this five-school joint exam.
In his mind, Miss Yue Tong was not only beautiful, but also the most talented person he had ever seen in the art of beast taming.
Although Chen Yi is formidable, he is still no match for Liu Yuetong!
At this point, after confirmation by the proctor, Chen Yi's score was valid. He then erased the mark and returned to the audience.
Sun Yu and Hou Xiangheng stared blankly at Chen Yi.
How could they remember that Chen Yi's beast-taming skills weren't this impressive during the last monthly exam?
It's important to know that while these stone goblins aren't particularly powerful, controlling three of them simultaneously is actually no less difficult than controlling the Crimson Flame Bird.
Only Chen Yi knew that these things were not difficult for him at all now.
The last time he commanded the Crimson Flame Sparrow, it was only after a fierce battle that he finally managed to seize upon the Crimson Flame Sparrow's weakness—its desire to regain its freedom.
Now, with similar difficulty, he finishes it in half a minute, and his methods are forceful and leave no room for resistance.
At this moment, he looked out from the stands towards the arena.
Mantian has already subdued the three stone demons and is now trying to control them.
By the third minute, he had also finished controlling the three stone goblins.
When he returned to his seat on the side of the beastmen, he couldn't help but look in Chen Yi's direction.
"His beast-controlling skills are truly extraordinary. It seems his spiritual sense and beast-controlling techniques are far superior to mine. I wonder how he performs in actual combat..."
It should be noted that his speed in subduing Shi Xiao was actually similar to Chen Yi's, but he lost because of the methods he used to control him; he was much slower.
Chen Yi's three marks were applied and it was done instantly, while he had to activate them one by one. The key is that activating just one of them took longer than Chen Yi activating three at the same time. Can you stand that?
Not only Man Tian, but even Man Li was deeply shocked by what she saw.
She knew that while her bone whistle was useful, the truly formidable person was Chen Yi...
"Such a growth rate is terrifying!" she murmured to herself.
...
Apart from Man Tian, all fourteen other people on the field waited until the time was up before leaving.
Although time had run out, no one could control the three stone goblins anymore.
Some people went through great lengths, using animal-repelling powder, animal traps, and immobilization charms, before they could barely control one.
Some people couldn't even control one, and were even left covered in dust by the stone goblins.
"The second batch includes Liu Yuetong, Liu Xian, Wang Bian..."
Let's go!
Liu Yuetong stood up, straightened her skirt, and flew straight off the field from her seat at Jiuding High School.
Her long, black hair was loosely tied back with a headband, making it look as if it might fall off at any moment, creating a scene of waist-length hair dancing wildly in the air.
And this makes it even more attractive...
Unfortunately, the headband didn't fall off, and Liu Yuetong was already standing on the field, her face exquisite and without makeup, a masterpiece of Nuwa.
"Wow! Are there really fairies?"
Many boys from other schools stared wide-eyed.
Only the students from Jiuding High School lowered their heads, unable to look directly at each other.
Liu Yuetong's status at Jiuding High School is evident...
