Domination Test

Chapter 73 Domination Test

Lake Taize.

At the border between Gusu City and Lingxi City, outside the Danggushan examination site.

As this was the first joint examination between the two cities, the professional skills assessment was unprecedentedly popular. Although most of the participants were young people, quite a few middle-aged people also came to give it a shot.

"I never expected it to be a joint exam between the two cities. It seems that my plan to pass the exam on the first try and then make a name for myself is not going to work."

Lu Yuan looked at the bustling crowd around him, his expression somewhat solemn.

With the help of the resources obtained from the Tower of Lamentation, he has trained the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger to be quite good. Apart from a few people like Bai Qi and Xia Xuan, he feels that he is doing quite well.

However, this may not be the case if Lingxi City is included.

The overall level of beast tamers in Lingxi City is higher than that in Gusu City, and Tianxuan High School in particular is full of talented people.

Lu Yuan only needed to take a quick look to spot quite a few students from Tianxuan High School.

"Lu Yuan, you're here so early."

Gao Cheng pushed through the crowded throng and came to Lu Yuan's side.

"Brother Cheng."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's the first joint examination between the two cities, so we definitely need to check on the situation as soon as possible."

Since the Tower of Lamentation, the two have become close, often training and doing quests together.

"That's true. This assessment is much more difficult than usual. I wonder if I can pass it this time."

That's what they say, but Gao Cheng didn't seem particularly nervous.

With the resources obtained from the Tower of Lamentation, Gao Cheng significantly boosted the Fire Armor Scorpion's strength. Combined with his previous experience, he was confident that he could pass the joint examination between the two cities.

"Oh, you two are here."

Just then, Han Wei walked over from a distance, his face full of disdain.

"If I had known there would be so many people, I would have come later. What a loss."

Han yawned listlessly, which made Gao Cheng smile wryly. He said, "This assessment is quite difficult. It's good to get used to the environment early."

"What's there to get used to if you can't even go into the exam room?"

Han Wei pursed his lips, looked around, and said, "By the way, have Bai Qi and Xia Xuan arrived?"

Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "I didn't see them, but those two shouldn't miss this assessment, right?"

Han Wei stretched and said, "That's true, both of them are already at the second level, they'll definitely pass."

"Second-order?!"

Lu Yuan and Gao Cheng exclaimed in unison, looking at Han Wei with disbelief.

"Don't you know? Bai Qi fought Xia Xuan a while ago. I don't know the specific result, but judging from Xia Xuan's expression, he probably lost."

Thinking back to Xia Xuan's disgusted expression when he asked him about this last time, Han Wei couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

This guy is already at the second tier?

Lu Yuan was lost in thought, feeling his worldview being washed away once again.

As expected, it's probably because it wasn't modified...

It definitely is!

……

On the other side, Bai Qi found his exam room with his admission ticket in hand. Looking at the bustling crowd around him, he suddenly felt a little nostalgic.

"But there are so many people here."

"It's a bit like the job market from my past life."

Bai Qi looked around for a while but didn't see many familiar faces, so he headed straight for the entrance to the examination hall.

The professional assessment is divided into three parts.

The first part is the basic assessment, which mainly tests your pet's level, various indicators, etc.

The second part is a theoretical assessment, which tests the Beast Tamer's knowledge of pet training, wilderness exploration, and other related topics.

Both of these exams are scheduled for the morning, while the third exam, a practical assessment, is in the afternoon.

At this moment, Bai Qi, holding his examination admission ticket, followed the group forward, and in front of them was a huge gate-shaped testing instrument.

As long as the examinee summons their pet beast to pass through this door, all the data will be detected clearly. There are as many as thirty similar instruments placed at the Danggu Mountain assessment point.

That's why both tests are scheduled for the morning.

"Please show your admission ticket."

A female examiner sat in front of the detector, smiled, picked up the device and scanned a boy's admission ticket. After confirming that it was correct, she said, "Please summon your pet and stand in the marked position."

Those who can serve as examiners for the professional assessment are naturally professional beast tamers. Although it is only for a short day, the reward is quite substantial.

Especially during this joint examination between the two cities, the positions of examiners were extremely competitive.

The boy seemed to be infected by the female examiner's smile, his face turning slightly red, but this actually relieved some of the pressure. He took a deep breath, and a light white summoning rune array appeared in front of him.

Then, a tall bird, mostly white with a bright red head and a black throat and neck, emerged from the rune array.

【Name】: Red-crowned Crane

[Race]: Flying

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Elite

[Racial Skills]: Air Slash, Flight, Red Venom

The Red-crowned Crane is one of the signature pets of Kosuke City. Judging from its fur and red crest, it is clearly very well-bred.

At the same time, the detector also reported the data on the red-crowned crane in a timely manner.

"Candidate: Yu Shan".

Race name: Red-crowned Crane.

Bloodline level: Intermediate Elite.

"Growth Level: Tier 1, Level 1"

Energy value: 1200.

Upon hearing this data, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, and the female examiner beside him nodded in agreement.

Generally speaking, pets don't need much energy when they are at level zero, since the number of times they can use skills is quite limited at level zero.

After all, you only have a couple hundred energy points, which can be used up in one skill, making it too cost-effective. Therefore, you mainly rely on basic attacks.

However, after entering the first stage, the energy value will experience a significant increase.

Elite-level birds like the Red-crowned Crane have a minimum energy value of around 1000, while male birds, even at only level one and level one, already have 1200 energy values, which is already considered quite good.

After all, the amount of energy directly affects the number of times a skill can be used, so having more energy is naturally an advantage.

However, from then on, unless there is a racial evolution, they can only rely on slow and steady accumulation, and there will be no more such leaps in improvement.

The assessment proceeded as scheduled, with no major surprises and even a somewhat tedious one.

Although everyone knows that elite races are powerful, not just anyone can form a contract with them. Many people only form contracts with servants, whose energy values ​​are generally below 1000.

……

"Candidate: Wang Jun"

Race name: Six-eyed Monkey.

"Bloodline level: Low-level lord".

"Growth Level: Tier 1, Level 4"

Energy value: 4300.

Instantly, the originally dull testing environment was filled with ripples, and exclamations came from all directions.

"Holy crap, a Lord-level pet!"

"His energy level is ten times mine, hah, I'm trash..."

"Is it from Lingxi City? Oh no, I'm doomed for this assessment."

All the examinees looked in the direction from which the sound came, and when they saw the girl wearing the Tianxuan High School uniform, they exclaimed in surprise again.

"So you're from Tianxuan High School, no wonder."

Despite being stared at by a group of examinees from Gusu City, Wang Jun maintained a cold expression, his heart filled with disdain.

I had long heard that although Gusu City was better developed than Lingxi City, its young beast tamers were far inferior and did not live up to the scale of Gusu City.

Wang Jun placed the six-eyed monkey on his shoulder, passed it through the detector, and chuckled as he watched the commotion caused by several classmates around him.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lingxi City will be hosting the entire joint entrance examination this year.
