What a coincidence.
When everyone else had quickly chosen their battle rooms and entered, the last room left for Su Muchen was exactly the one where Sun Sixiu was.
Seeing Su Muchen push the door open and enter, with the curious little Qilin in his arms looking around, Sun Sixiu and another person instantly showed envy in their eyes.
However, they quickly restrained their emotions, not forgetting their duties as examiners.
"Preliminary test candidate name: Su Muchen, Lifebound Beast: Sacred Qilin Beast, Contract signed: four days ago."
Sun Sixiu looked at the tablet in his hand and read out the registration information. Then he looked up at Su Muchen with a professional smile on his face.
"Junior, draw your lot!"
Hearing this, Su Muchen was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but look at the little Qilin in his arms.
Sacred Qilin Beast?
So those people mistook the little Qilin for a Sacred Qilin Beast.
The real deal mistaken for a fake?
While thinking about this, Su Muchen walked over to the lot-drawing box.
Each room had six different Beast Tamer Creatures for candidates to draw lots from, determining their opponent.
Once a Beast Tamer Creature was drawn, it wouldn't participate in another battle for the next hour.
For many novice Beast Tamers, luck played a part here. To comprehensively assess a novice Beast Tamer's command and the battle performance of their contracted beast, all the creatures were at the Bronze Tier.
If luck was on their side and they drew a creature whose attributes were countered by their own beast, they could inflict higher damage, making it easier to score high.
But for Su Muchen, it didn't matter what creature he drew.
When the lot drawing ended, Sun Sixiu looked at the temporary contract mark on the table in front of him with a strange expression.
He frowned slightly, with a hint of regret in his eyes, and said to Su Muchen, "Junior, it seems your luck isn't very good."
With that, he activated the contract mark.
Instantly, a cold light flashed, and a peculiar-looking Beast Tamer Creature appeared in the battle venue.
Its body was as ethereal as a ghost, with a single large eye occupying almost 80% of its head.
Its name was Ghostly Sun Eye!
The reason Sun Sixiu said Su Muchen's luck wasn't good was well-founded. Ghostly Sun Eye was a common Ghost Type and Demon Type dual-attribute creature in the Beast Tamer world.
Firstly, the Ghost Type could be immune to most Martial Type skills. Regular Beast Tamers knew that novice beasts primarily used Martial Type skills like scratch, bite, and tackle in the early stages.
The Ghost Type's immunity rendered most of a novice beast's skills useless, putting them at a disadvantage.
Moreover, the Demon Type countered the Divine Type. In such attribute clashes, the battle relied on the Beast Tamer's command ability and the beast's cultivation level.
The Beast Tamer's command was a match between senior and junior. This Ghostly Sun Eye was already at Bronze Rank One!
Overall, the situation was very unfavorable for Su Muchen.
However, what Sun Sixiu didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Su Muchen remained calm, gently stroking the little Qilin's head with battle intent in his eyes.
At this moment, the referee, responsible for scoring novice Beast Tamers, watched Su Muchen's fearless and composed demeanor and secretly admired him.
He immediately added points for Su Muchen on his tablet and raised his voice, announcing, "The national Beast Battle Preliminary Test officially begins!"
As soon as the words fell, an unexpected scene unfolded.
Su Muchen didn't issue any commands. The little Qilin in the arena had already taken action.
Surrounded by crackling lightning, it was incredibly lively. The sound of electric arcs echoed continuously.
Then, with a powerful push from its hind legs, its agile figure transformed into a blur, disappearing from its original spot.
When it reappeared, it was already in front of the Ghostly Sun Eye.
This was a skill formed by the combination of Swift Wind, Lightning Flash, and Rapid Thunder Step.
According to Su Muchen's tests, the combination of these three, under Gold Rank Five, was unmatched in speed except for spatial attacks!
The Ghostly Sun Eye sensed danger with its large eye. Although it could vaguely see the little Qilin's movements, its body couldn't keep up.
It could only watch helplessly as the little Qilin's head collided with it.
With a muffled "bang," the Ghostly Sun Eye didn't even have a chance to resist and was instantly knocked unconscious.
The little Qilin, seeing the Ghostly Sun Eye it had just defeated, proudly raised its head, chest out, striking a pose that seemed to say, "Buddy, you still have a lot to learn."
Cute yet exuding a sense of dominance.
...
Silence, a prolonged silence.
Countless question marks filled the minds of the two examiners.
"Wait, buddy, is it over already? Where's your command?"
Sun Sixiu couldn't help but shout in his heart.
In all the novice Beast Tamer battles he'd seen, they were always frantically commanding their beasts, with skills being released clumsily.
But Su Muchen didn't even need to speak. The beast attacked on its own, ending the battle so decisively and smoothly.
"Are all the new Beast Tamers this impressive now?"
"They don't even need to command; the beast can attack on its own."
"Or does this Sacred Qilin Beast have an exceptional autonomous combat awareness?"
The other senior examiner was equally bewildered, filled with questions.
Moreover, they both knew that this was a Bronze Tier Ghostly Sun Eye.
The skill just now seemed like Lightning Flash, which was typically an Electric Type and Martial Type skill, dealing half electric and half collision damage. The source of this chapter is novelping dot com.
For the Ghostly Sun Eye, it should have been able to immune half the damage.
But the result?
A novice beast contracted for just four days used a skill with only half the damage to instantly defeat a Bronze Rank One Ghostly Sun Eye.
It was beyond their imagination.
The two were stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.
Sun Sixiu, in disbelief, said, "Su, are you sure your Sacred Qilin Beast has only been contracted for four days?"
"And not a beast that grew up with you?"
But as soon as he spoke, he realized the flaw in his words.
In other countries, it might be different, but in China, these national unified battle tests were fair and rigorous.
Every Beast Tamer's test beast had strict requirements.
Beasts that grew up with their tamers were tested at another site.
This meant that Su Muchen's Sacred Qilin Beast was indeed a newly contracted novice beast!
"A novice beast instantly defeating a Bronze Rank One, these newcomers are really something!"
Sun Sixiu's heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.
The senior examiner beside him, suppressing his shock, announced the results.
"Junior, congratulations. I've never seen such an outstanding novice Beast Tamer like you."
Soon after, Su Muchen's comprehensive score appeared on the screen.
