While everyone was talking, everyone was already in place. Hu Yunfeng immediately announced, "The fifth round of the newcomer assessment, the Spiritual Beast Trial. I believe that all the newcomers are familiar with this mission. It is to capture a spiritual beast as your pet."
In the cultivation world of Heaven Stage Island, spiritual beasts as pets were extremely common. Any expert with a bit of strength would definitely have a spiritual beast with them. Let's not talk about the distant ones. Miss Shangguan's Little Curly Bear was a living example.
Regarding this, the newcomers present were already envious. However, firstly, their strength was low, and secondly, they did not have the extra spiritual jades to raise a spiritual beast. They could not even satisfy the most basic requirement of taming a spiritual beast, a spiritual pet talisman. Therefore, they could only think about it for the time being.
Spiritual pet talisman was the most common and reliable way to tame a spiritual beast on Heaven Stage Island. However, the price was not low. Even the lowest level spiritual pet talisman would cost at least a hundred spiritual jades in the market. Other than the second generation cultivators in Soaring Sky Pavilion, the other newcomers could not afford it.
After a pause, Hu Yunfeng continued, "This time's spiritual beast assessment will last for a month. The location will still be the periphery of the back mountain. Before you set off, each of you will be given a low-level spiritual pet talisman. After a month, the points will be evaluated. As for the specific evaluation method and some things to take note of, Manager Meng Jueguang will introduce it to everyone."
Seeing Meng Jueguang walk up the stage in high spirits to Hu Yunfeng's side, the newcomers were all confused. This guy was just a newcomer manager of Blue Cloud Pavilion, but there were all the newcomers from the three pavilions present. What was the situation with him going up to introduce them?
For this kind of thing, even if Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng did not personally introduce them, there was still Second Pavilion Master Feng Song. At the very least, Kang Ming Ming, the newcomer manager, would be more reasonable than Meng Jueguang, right?
However, Lin Yi and the others were well aware of this. Meng Jueguang was about to be promoted to the position of the Third Pavilion Master of the Welcoming Pavilion. Now that it was already a foregone conclusion, Hu Yunfeng was clearly doing Meng Jueguang a favor by doing this, so that Meng Jueguang could show his face and establish his prestige in the future.
"I was wondering why this guy was dressed so pretentiously today, like a duck that was going to be sold. Looks like he's planning this!" Qiao Hongcai said with a strange expression on his face as he curled his lips at Lin Yi's group.
Lin Yi nodded and said, "It's probably because they saw that Meng Jueguang has been forced into such a sorry state by us for the past two days, so they took this opportunity to save some face for him. Otherwise, even if he takes the position of Third Pavilion Master, he will still be disgraced."
"Alas, when I think about how Senior Brother Lu was pushed away by him, I can't help but sigh. I feel uncomfortable in my heart. If he really stabilizes the position of Third Pavilion Master, I'm afraid he'll be even more overbearing in the future. "Senior Brother Ku Bi sighed when he heard this.
However, Lin Yi patted his shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "Senior Brother Ku Bi, you don't have to be too pessimistic. Every dog has its day. When the time comes, who knows who will be lucky and who will be unlucky. Just wait and see."
Clearing his throat on the stage, Meng Jueguang then said with a solemn face, "The evaluation of the points in this round of the Spirit Beast Assessment is divided into two aspects. The first is the points of the Spirit Beast Level, and the second is the points of the Spirit Beast Strength. The two points add up to the final points of this round. "
Looking at Meng Jueguang's pretentious behavior, the audience couldn't help but feel sick. However, due to their own interests, they could only endure the disgust and continue listening.
The so-called points of the Spirit Beast Level were based on the level of the Spirit Beast captured by each newcomer. Each level corresponded to different points. Unranked five points, Yellow 10 points, Profound 15 points. Earth-ranked 20 points, Heaven 25 points.
As for those above the Heaven Stage, it was impossible because the low-level Spirit Pet Talisman that the Welcome Pavilion issued to the newcomers could at most subdue Heaven Stage Perfect Spirit Beasts. For those at the Foundation Establishment stage, a mid-level Spirit Pet Talisman was needed. The low-level Spirit Pet Talisman could not guarantee the effect at all.
The so-called points of the Spirit Beast Strength were to let the Spirit Beasts that the newcomers subdued fight with each other. The rules were completely different from the Newcomer Challenge. It was a simpler and clearer single-round elimination system.
The newcomers of the Three Pavilions would draw lots to determine their opponents. Every time they won a round, they would get ten points of the Spirit Beast Strength. The loser would be eliminated.
The highest points of the Spirit Beast Level were 25 points, and the highest points of the Spirit Beast Strength were 40 points. Added together, it was the theoretical highest points of the Spirit Beast Assessment round, 65 points.
Compared to the previous four rounds, the theoretical points were not high, but for the newcomers, this round was undoubtedly the most practical and exciting round. Even if they did not mention the points, they could at least earn a Spirit Pet for free, so why not?
After explaining the rules of the points, Meng Jueguang reminded them one last time, "Newcomers, because this assessment round is at the periphery of the back mountain, everything must be done according to the rules of the back mountain hall. Do not do anything stupid like touching the prohibition. Also, the back mountain is strictly prohibited for anyone to casually enter or leave, and you are no exception. So although the Spirit Beast Assessment has a month, if you leave midway, it means that you have given up the remaining opportunities and will not be able to enter the back mountain again."
After hearing this, the newcomers immediately began to discuss. Even Lin Yi could not help but squint his eyes. They gave enough time for a month, but they did not allow anyone to casually enter or leave. This arrangement was a bit interesting!
For an entire month, there was only one low-grade Spirit Pet Charm. One chance would be gone once it was used up, so the rookies naturally chose to wait and see. After all, good steel should be used on the blade's edge. If they were to waste it on inferior Spirit Beasts, wouldn't it be a waste?
However, after hearing Meng Jueguang's words, the newcomers had no choice but to readjust their strategy.
The back mountain was filled with ferocious beasts. Even if it was just the periphery, it was still a dangerous place. This was something that the newcomers had experienced during the previous Rookie Trial.
In such a place, almost no one could rest well. If they stayed for too long, they would tire themselves out. When the time came, not to mention capturing a Spirit Pet, they might even lose their lives!
As such, between the risks and benefits, the newcomers had to weigh the pros and cons in their hearts.
In the end, to capture a Spirit Pet and leave quickly, or to risk their lives to wander around a few rounds, this was a dilemma that every newcomer had to face. If they were lucky, they might receive a gift from the heavens, but if they were unlucky, their lives would be in danger.
"Alright, the rules and precautions have been explained clearly. Newcomers, if there are no other questions, come over to collect the Spirit Pet Charm and prepare to set off." Hu Yunfeng said.
