Xu Sandao, who was standing at the side, smiled faintly, “The survival assessment’s reward is much higher than the fierce beast assessment. Otherwise, many beastmasters wouldn’t have reserved their strength in the second assessment. This part is the one in the whole assessment that has the highest rewards, If one is ranked first, just the monetary reward alone is close to ten million. If one can be ranked first as well in the duel later on and get the title of Professional Rookie King, the monetary reward would be tens of millions, as well as a pile of pet equipment, attributed secret treasures, and secret scrolls to choose from.”
Xu Sandao had an envious look on his face.
The Professional Rookie King.
If one could be the strongest while just being a rookie, even if one turned for the worse in the future, one would at least be able to become a master-rank beastmaster no matter how weak one was. Those who were powerful could even become a deity-rank beastmaster!
Only one beastmaster would get the title every year.
“I’ve been watching for so long…” Cheng Chen said, puzzled, “But why haven’t I seen that beastmaster we met before? After watching for so long, I keep feeling that that fellow should be the most freakish one. After all, he was able to instantly kill the demon skeleton sword ghost elite and multiple demon skeleton sword ghosts in a single move. His movements in picking up the materials were also smooth…”
“That bird…” Ming Zhu hesitated, “I think I know it. It’s just that the difference in shape and appearance is a bit big from what I remember, so I’m not sure.”
“Hmm? Are you talking about that bird?” Xu Sandao’s eyes turned, and he suddenly looked into the distance. He seemed to have seen something as he was momentarily stunned.
The other two looked over.
“Comrade Wang!” Ming Zhu smiled.
Wang Ye slowly walked over with a brimming backpack. Xiao Jiu was perched on his shoulder, eating rice grains to replenish the spiritual energy it had expended.
Meanwhile, the white python had returned to the pet space to rest.
“Miss Ming!” Wang Ye nodded and smiled, “You joined a team, didn’t you? How was the assessment?”
Ming Zhu waved her hand and said, “It was average. My strength is just so-so, barely above average. There’s still quite a big gap between me and those top-notch beastmasters!”
Wang Ye wasn’t too surprised.
After all, Ming Zhu had a secondary class. Usually, beastmasters that had secondary classes while only being a rookie were usually rich at home. On top of that, the secondary classes required quite some energy.
As such, in terms of self-cultivation and pet-nurturing, they would be slightly behind.
“What about you?” Ming Zhu thought for a moment, “Did we meet in there?”
“I’m alright… Did we?” Wang Ye thought for a few seconds. He had a vague impression that he had indeed met her in the core area.
However, it was more possibly a glance that they couldn’t confirm.
Wang Ye wasn’t too sure either.
He couldn’t help it either. Xiao Jiu had fought too quickly in the core area sometimes, so he didn’t even have the time to greet the other beastmasters.
Besides, he didn’t want to waste Xiao Jiu’s Free-size time.
Ming Zhu looked at Xiao Jiu on Wang Ye’s shoulder. She felt that Xiao Jiu was a little similar to the bird they had met, but it looked too small.
“I’m a little confused…” Ming Zhu frowned slightly, “Why is your pet so hostile towards me? It’s been like that from the first time we met. I didn’t expect it to still be hostile towards me.”
“Uh…” Wang Ye patted Xiao Jiu’s head and said, “It used to dream that it was abandoned by a human girl. Over time, it probably doesn’t like human women.”
“…” Xiao Jiu.
“Is that so?” Ming Zhu held her chin and pondered.
“Well, I’ll go check my results first,” Wang Ye waved his hand and walked inside.
He had come back late, mainly because he saw some fierce beasts on the way back and killed them while he was at it.
It was a pity that since the demonized remnant body of Xiao Tao had been purified by the Scalding Bright Flame, the power of strangeness in its body decreased, thus the demon skeleton sword ghosts had also disappeared.
He hadn’t encountered many of them.
Without the demon skeleton sword ghosts, he wasn’t able to enjoy himself.
He could only rely on the hilts that demonized Xiao Tao had given him to fill in the gaps.
When he entered, Wang Ye immediately saw someone he knew.
“Dojo Master Lu,” Wang Ye walked over and greeted him warmly.
If it weren’t for the Cloud-swallowing Technique from Dojo Master Lu, Xiao Jiu might not have been able to create the Divine Bird Sun-devouring Technique eventually.
“Wang Ye, I was just thinking that I’ve been waiting for too long, and you’re finally here,” Dojo Master Lu was taken aback but immediately burst into laughter, “Come, come, come. You’re really something, kid. We saw your performance quite clearly from the monitoring room!”
Hearing this, Wang Ye was slightly taken aback.
They had seen his performance quite clearly?
Could it be that they had seen the evolution of the white python? As well as what had happened in the Land of Hidden Mysterious?
That shouldn’t be possible. After all, the energy fluctuations in the Land of Hidden Mysterious were so strong that the photoelectric shuttles shouldn’t be able to capture any footage!
Unless the four investigators were still outside, but they were now in the space inside the white python’s stomach and hadn’t been released yet.
Wang Ye walked over, handed the backpack to Lu Daying, and said, “Inside are some fierce beast materials that I collected. As for the resources that I collected myself, I don’t think I need to hand them over, right?”
“No need, no need. The assessment doesn’t have such a requirement. With the fierce beast materials, you can already prove how many fierce beasts you’ve killed,” Lu Daying waved his hand, “As for the resources that you collected yourself, they’ll need to go through purification before you can use them. The sea mechanical kun has a specialized purification room where all resources below the emperor grade can be purified. You can also choose to use Holy Purification with your light-type pet, but that’s a pure light-type emperor skill, so it’s relatively rare. The effects of intermediate and beginner purification skills aren’t obvious eother.”
Wang Ye nodded. The interior of the sea mechanical kun was very well-equipped.
The sea mechanical kun that was for military use was even more exaggerated than an aircraft carrier.
