The assessment grounds had become extremely chaotic, and the entire morning was spent in chaos and unease. The busiest were the doctors, who were constantly shuttling back and forth among the candidates in their white coats, carrying the injured away.
The beast taming exam had become a test of survival. The candidates were no longer concerned about whether they could tame exotic beasts but how they could escape from the frenzied beasts.
The Dragon Ascension Conclave was merciless. Whether the candidates were willing or not, they would all be sent into the cage. Getting cold feet? No way!
"Get out of the way!" Two doctors carried an injured candidate past Xia Fei. Xia Fei remembered that man. It was the one who had put his hand on Xia Fei's shoulder before entering the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall, grinning. "So you're Xia Fei, that guy who got a negative score."
His face was pale, and he was clenching his teeth, blood gushing out of his right arm. He had long since lost the contempt he had when he first mocked Xia Fei.
His broken arm could be reattached, and it was not fatal, but there was no way he could get a score. He was just waiting to get his ducks' eggs.
At this moment, Xia Fei saw Yu Xiaobei walking over with a cold expression. He was not injured, but he was in an even worse state. The assessment clearly stated that one could not hit the exotic beasts and could only use their aura to suppress them. In the end, Yu Xiaobei had punched the aardwolf in front of him out of anger. Not only did he get separated, he even had to deduct a hundred points!
Situations like Yu Xiaobei's were common. The exotic beasts had already gone berserk, and it was impossible to use aura to suppress them. If they were forced into a corner by the exotic beasts, they would inevitably retaliate, and the moment they retaliated, they would fall into a trap and lose points. The higher the cultivation of a warrior, the easier it was for them to make such a mistake.
Yu Xiaobei had a very interesting look on his face. He was not very good at the previous three exams, barely managing to get a few dozen points. Now that he had lost a hundred points, his score was even lower than Xia Fei's.
"How are you?"
"How else? I'm also going to get a negative score tomorrow. "
"How could you be so careless? Didn't I say that you can't fight back?"
"Easy for you to say! You'll know once you go in and try. Those exotic beasts have all gone berserk! Berserk, understand?! Of course, I'm not afraid of a Beast King. Even killing him would be as easy as lifting a finger. But if you want me to subdue him, I don't think I can do it. If you think you can, then go ahead and try! "
Xia Fei heard the conversation between the two candidates. The candidates were all elites, and there was no doubt that their cultivation was very high. Unfortunately, this was not a test to kill exotic beasts but to subdue them!
Subduing a berserk exotic beast with just their auras was easier said than done. On one side was the holy beast Shatterstar and the pressure of the Beast Spirit Codex, while on the other side was a Law Sovereign warrior. These exotic beasts were not stupid, so they naturally knew that the holy beast was more terrifying. Thus, they would do their best to attack their opponent.
You can't even retaliate after being beaten? This was probably the most vexing battle the warriors had ever experienced. If they could not control themselves and gave the exotic beast a slap, they would immediately be judged to have failed, and a hundred points would be deducted!
Yu Xiaobei was an example. He was very strong, and at such a young age, he was already a peak Law Sovereign. He was also very prideful, and after a few rounds of attacks from the exotic beasts, he could no longer keep his face, so he punched the Beast King.
His anger had been vented, but his points had been completely deducted. This was what annoyed him the most.
"Look! Someone's successfully subdued the exotic beast! "
Xia Fei looked over and saw a girl with braids successfully subduing the exotic beast with her aura. That long-tailed bat was obediently sitting on the ground, not daring to attack her. Even if Xia Fei used the Beast Spirit Codex to control it, it would be useless.
"Hey, that's Miss Suchun of the Lin family. She's a Law Emperor! How can she compare? "
Xia Fei was startled. It seemed that this move of his was only effective against warriors below the Law Emperor level. Once they reached the Law Emperor level, Xia Fei's Beast Spirit Codex would no longer be effective. After all, the distance was too great, and Xia Fei was controlling 120 exotic beasts at the same time, splitting his focus, greatly reducing the effect.
Back in the Eternal Ice Plains, Xia Fei had no problem controlling thirteen Beast Kings to attack Law Sovereign Mu Qiubo. It was clear that distance and number of beasts had an effect on the Beast Spirit Codex.
Xia Fei pursed his lips, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.
Phantom chuckled. "Don't be too greedy. After your ruckus, the vast majority of the candidates today will suffer. If you're not careful, you might even end up like Yu Xiaobei and end up with a negative score. You should be content. They're just mocking you, and you've already made them miserable enough. No matter how great the enmity, it's already been avenged."
Xia Fei did not say anything. As the exam progressed, more and more experts became prominent. Xia Fei had not expected that among these people who were less than thirty years old, there would be no less than fifty who were Law Emperors! As expected, all the elites of the Law Realm had come! All the geniuses had gathered here!
There were also some people who had not reached the Law Emperor level, but they had used special techniques to subdue exotic beasts. These profound techniques were practically unheard of, and there were even people who could use their control of scent to imitate the aura of a Divine Beast, subduing the exotic beast!
"What a beautiful move! It seems that I've still underestimated the Dragon Ascension Conclave. The various methods and techniques are truly eye-opening!" Xia Fei muttered to himself.
Phantom said, "There's another benefit to your ruckus today. You've forced out all the experts hiding in the shadows. You must remember what these people look like so that you can avoid directly fighting with them in the future."
Xia Fei was startled. This was supposed to be a prank for revenge, and it was quite surprising that he was able to find out more about his opponents. It was not just Xia Fei. Many of the more scheming warriors were silently recording the situation in the exam grounds. It was clear who their opponents were, who was stronger than them, and who could not even take a single blow.
Next to him, Ludi suddenly screamed. "Oh no! It's my turn to go up! "
The badge on his chest flashed, and Ludi was instantly in the cage.
Although Young Master Lu was a Law Sovereign, his martial arts were very sloppy. Faced with a fierce two-headed chameleon, he paled in fright.
* Thump! *
Young Master Lu panicked and kneeled, his entire body trembling as his face turned from white to green.
To everyone's surprise, the fierce two-headed chameleon was even more afraid than Ludi. When Ludi knelt, the Beast King knelt down! Its head was facing the ground, not daring to raise its head.
"Eh? What's going on? "Ludi scratched his head in confusion.
"A perfect score! Someone got a perfect score! "
The spectating examinees cried out in shock, all of them awed by Ludi's subduing technique.
"What technique did he use?"
"I don't know. Perhaps it's some kind of secret technique."
"I've never heard that the Lu family has a technique to subdue exotic beasts."
"A true master never reveals himself! Perhaps the Lu family has been hiding it all this time. "
"True. Those who passed today are undoubtedly experts. Hurry and remember Ludi's name. This playboy is playing the pig to eat the tiger. Don't fall for his tricks in the future!"
The examinees discussed among themselves, all of them expressing their shock at Ludi's kneeling technique. They had no idea that without Xia Fei, let alone subduing an exotic beast, Ludi would have ended up as a dessert.
* Whoosh ~ *
With the mission complete, Ludi was sent back. The examinees made way for him, and some even went up to fawn over him. In the blink of an eye, the prodigal Ludi had become the Master Ludi in everyone's mouths.
Xia Fei smiled. "Congratulations, Brother Ludi. You hid yourself well and easily passed. It seems that this preliminary exam wasn't a problem for you."
Ludi bitterly smiled. "Don't tease me. Do you think I don't know what I'm capable of? That two-headed chameleon really did kneel on its own. I didn't provoke it. I really didn't. "
Xia Fei solemnly said, "Brother Ludi, Xia Fei admires your caution. Everyone can see it clearly, so there's no need to hide it. If my guess is correct, you're at least a Law Emperor! And you might even be a Great Law Emperor! Of the ten thousand examinees, you're the fastest to subdue an exotic beast! What technique did you use to hide your cultivation? "
"Hide my cultivation?!"
"Ludi knows a technique to hide his cultivation?!"
The examinees sighed and cautiously listened to the conversation between Xia Fei and Ludi.
Ludi anxiously stomped his feet. He wanted to explain, but the two-headed chameleon obediently kneeled on the ground, making it impossible for him to explain.
Xia Fei suddenly had an idea. He went up to Ludi and whispered a few words in his ear, a look of realization appearing on his face. "So that's how it is! Brother Ludi has a good technique!"
In truth, Xia Fei and Ludi had not spoken at all, but the examinees thought that they were secretly discussing something.
"So Ludi really does have a Law Emperor cultivation!"
"Hurry and write this down. In the future, we have to avoid clashing with Ludi."
Several nosy fellows quietly took out notebooks and wrote down Ludi's name. They looked at him with extremely strange gazes, and the playboy young master Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
…
"Teacher, you're here!" Khedira said in a fluster as he bowed to the old man who had just walked into the supervision center.
"It's all this disciple's fault for not being skilled enough. There are so many strange things happening in the examination grounds, but I don't even know why," Khedira said in self-reproach.
There was no need to mention the chaos in the examination grounds. Those with weaker cultivations were all injured by exotic beasts, while those with higher cultivations but were not calm enough fell victim to Xia Fei's schemes. At this point, five thousand examinees had taken the trial, but less than five percent had passed. Twenty percent of the examinees had been reduced by one hundred points, and the rest had all received zero points.
This was the first time in the history of the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall that such a chaotic examination had occurred!
Lu Qiuyan also cupped her hands and said to the white-bearded old man who walked in, "Senior Nie Ying, you are the top beast tamer in the dojo. Please help us take a look and see who exactly is causing trouble. If we catch him, we won't let him off lightly! "
Nie Ying had a relaxed expression as he chuckled. "Isn't that perfect? He used exotic beasts to go berserk, teaching those fellows with insufficient cultivation and willpower a lesson. We are the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall! An elite martial hall that only accepts young geniuses! I can't stand the sight of so many unqualified fellows participating in every examination. "
Lu Qiuyan frowned. "But he broke the rules of the martial hall."
Nie Ying heartily laughed. "To be able to make one hundred and twenty exotic beasts go berserk, he's a genius in beast taming."
Nie Ying changed the topic. "But this young man is too crazy, and his attacks are a little too ruthless. He truly should suffer a little.
"I've already set up the system so that he will first pick out the unqualified examinees for us, and then I will personally go and teach him a lesson as punishment for looking down on the martial hall."
"Does that mean you already know who did it?" Khedira hurriedly asked.
"I do. Two rather interesting fellows."
"Two people?"
"Not really. One's a person and the other isn't."
Lu Qiuyan and Khedira scratched their heads. It was true that Nie Ying was a Beast Taming Master, but years of interacting with exotic beasts had made his behavior rather strange. One was a person and the other wasn't? How could they explain this?
Xia Fei, who was feeling pleased with his scheme, had no idea that while he was scheming against others, there was also an old monster who specialized in beast taming scheming against him.
