Beastmaster

"Then Brother Lin, where do you think it would be appropriate for us to go?" Jing Cangming said thoughtfully.

Zhong Ye Lin shook his head slightly, "Well, to be honest, if Tu Li was to leave, I would suggest that he go to the Northern Continent, because that is the world of the Ferocious Beast Generals, and it would be a great opportunity for him to develop. But you are all War Beast Generals, and you would be like outsiders if you go there, and you wouldn't get any closeness or help."

Yan Yuxiao was not convinced, “Then according to what you said, shouldn’t Tu Li have a hard time moving forward in the Western Continent? But he doesn’t.”

Zhong Yelin said with a smile, "Look, Tu Li has been away from the academy since he was a child? He met you guys when he grew up, but you didn't grow up there."

After hearing this, Yan Yuxiao stopped talking and her face turned red. She had indeed overlooked this matter.

Then Zhong Ye Lin looked at Jing Cangming seriously and said, "I still suggest that you reconsider it. With your current strength, I still suggest that you stay in the Western Continent."

"But we have offended the Sha family and the Wanshou Academy, so we have nowhere to stay," Jing Cangming said helplessly.

Zhong Yelin thought for a while and said, "Royal Academy."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, "Royal Academy?! We are not members of the royal family, how can we enter the Royal Academy?" Yan Yuxiao said.

"Wait! I remember Mr. Ling said at that time that the Royal Academy was drawn from the other three academies," Jing Cangming suddenly said in surprise.

Zhan Yongyi also said, "Yes, I seem to remember this too."

Yan Yuxiao suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "How could I have forgotten? Mr. Ling mentioned this when he introduced us when we first came."

Zhong Yelin said, "That's right."

Jing Cangming sighed and said, "But now we are not from the School of Beasts anymore, how can we go to the Royal Family?"

Zhong Ye Lin said, "There is another way. The Royal Academy holds a beast general competition every year. The top five can enter the Royal Academy. In addition to the three academies that are eligible to participate, there is another channel to participate, and that is individual cultivators."

Although several people were shocked, some of them also showed expressions of surprise.

Jing Cangming asked, "A casual cultivator?"

Zhong Ye Lin looked at him and smiled, "Yes, the number of participants in the Beast General Competition held by the Royal Academy every year is one hundred. Thirty places will be given to each of the three academies, and the last ten places will be issued to the registration office."

"The registration office? Where is this?"

Zhong Ye Lin said, "This place is on the outer continent. Anyone who wants to participate can go there to sign up, and then compete first to fight for these ten places, and then participate in the Royal Academy's 100-person competition."

The four of them looked at each other and asked, "Brother Lin, when does registration start?"

Zhong Yelin said, "Tomorrow. I came to you today just to tell you about this matter."

Yan Yuxiao said happily, "Haha, this way we don't have to leave the Western Continent."

Several people seemed a little happy, but Zhong Yelin poured cold water on them, "Don't be too happy too soon. Every competition is very cruel. Moreover, there are many independent cultivators in the Western Continent, and there are also some very powerful ones among them, almost all of whom are stronger than you now."

Jing Cangming nodded and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about other things after the registration tomorrow. Brother Lin, there has been no movement from the Sha family recently."

Zhong Yelin frowned and said, "I guess they may think that the expert who took Fang Tiankuo and the other two away is your backer, so they have not taken action again. Moreover, it is reported that the level of this expert is not low, and it is estimated that he may be the Beast Emperor!"

Jing Cangming said, "If this is true, I believe the Sha family will not take action against the Wanshou Pavilion in the short term, so I feel relieved."

"Well, if they really dare to come to the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Beasts, I will fight to the death."

These words made Jing Cangming and the others look grateful, "Thank you, Brother Lin!"

Zhong Ye Lin felt a little embarrassed, "Okay, okay, after all, I am also an elder of the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Beasts."

Several people covered their mouths and laughed secretly. They were extremely unhappy before, but now they called themselves elders. However, this was a good thing. An elder of level 77 was considered an upper-middle class force in the Western Continent.

Seeing a few children giggling, Zhong Ye Lin couldn't help but blush, "Okay, just rest here, you go out and get a room, I'll take you to register tomorrow."

After a few people nodded, they still went to book two rooms and then went to practice and rest.

The next morning, just as the sky in the east began to turn pale, as if hope was rising, there was a knock on the door.

Jing Cangming and others were still dozing off when they saw Zhong Yelin outside the door, ready to go and waiting for everyone.

Tu Li complained, "Brother Lin, it's too early," and yawned as he spoke.

"Yes, Brother Lin," said Yan Yuxiao, who was still rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Zhong Ye Lin said, "Okay, hurry up and pack up, the sooner the better. After I finish registering you, I have to hurry back to the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Beasts. I've been out for a whole day."

Jing Cangming suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Great, great, I didn't expect that Elder Zhong cares so much about the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion. This Pavilion Master is very pleased." As he said this, he patted Zhong Yelin's shoulder in a serious manner, which instantly made Zhong Yelin roll his eyes.

Zhong Yelin muttered, "I've gotten on board your pirate ship."

Then several children burst into laughter at the same time.

After the joke, they quickly washed and packed up, then followed Zhong Yelin out of the hotel.

The sun's light stung several people's eyes, and its warmth was reflected on them.

A group of five people walked towards the registration office.

All the young girls along the way were walking in the same direction. You didn't have to guess to know that they were all going to register.

Jing Cangming asked, "Brother Lin, are there no conditions for signing up? Why are so many men, women, young and old going?"

Zhong Ye Lin smiled and said, "Of course there are conditions, but there are no conditions for registration. However, there are requirements for the ten places. The first is the top ten, and the second is under fifteen years old."

"Ah? This is so unfair," Yan Yuxiao said.

"There is no such thing as fairness for independent cultivators. If one can get a place among these independent cultivators, it means that one's strength and talent are at least similar to those of the academy students, and only then are they eligible to participate in the Hundred Man Station."

"Then with so many people over the age limit, wouldn't it mean that even if they get into the top ten, they won't be able to participate in the 100-person race? What's the point of doing this?"

"Of course there are. During the individual competitions, some mid- and lower-level sects will come to watch. Once they see an individual cultivator they like, they can directly extend an olive branch to recruit him."

"Then why do they become casual practitioners in order to join a sect?!" Yan Yuxiao asked puzzled.

Zhong Ye Lin patiently explained, "Because many people are not born with high talents, independent cultivators are not qualified to join the academy, and the powerful forces look down on them. So after they become strong, they will try to gain the favor of the sect in this way."

After listening to Zhong Yelin's explanation, Jing Cangming and others looked at the people in their fifties and sixties who were constantly rushing forward, and it didn't seem so abrupt anymore.

Isn't it? For these middle and lower level sects, as long as the level can pass the test, who cares about your age? And they don't have too many resources to train from a young age, so most of the people in such sects are old men and women, and their levels are around fifty or sixty.

During the chat, several people came to the so-called registration office. It was not magnificent at all. It was just a small shed. The tarpaulin was made of patched-up torn clothes, covering the three main directions and the top, about three square meters. Then there was a table and a chair inside, with a person sitting on it.

Seeing this "registration office", Jing Cangming couldn't help but say, "This... shabby place, is it really granted a place by the Royal Academy? Is this legitimate?!"

Zhong Yelin comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll make sure it's legal!"

Seeing Zhong Yelin's confident look, Jing Cangming and others stopped asking questions.

Then they lined up in an orderly manner. Although the registration office looked inconspicuous, there were at least five or six hundred people registering, blocking the street.

During this period, there were also some people cutting in line, fighting, molesting girls, anyway, all kinds of things happened.

The four of them were all wearing black robes and hoods, and looked orderly. They did not look like casual cultivators at all, thus exuding a sense of mystery. Zhong Yelin did not participate. After leading them to line up, he said goodbye and returned to the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Tu Li couldn't help but complain, "I didn't expect Brother Lin to be addicted to being an official."

Jing Cangming looked at him with a smile, "Would you like to be the second elder?"

Upon hearing this, Tu Li immediately licked his lips like a dog, "Do it! We must do it! Do it with my brother Ming!"

Jing Cangming's expression immediately changed, "Go away, you miss me but I don't."

Tu Li pretended to be a little disappointed, and instantly several people burst into laughter. Tu Li was just joking with them. Even if he was given the position of the second elder, he would not stay in the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Beasts. What's the use?

Waiting in line was really a painful thing. Although they arrived early, there were many people who came earlier than them. They waited in line until the afternoon before it was their turn.

The old man at the registration desk was yawning and saying, "Name, rank, age."

"Yan Xiao, level 31, 15 years old", "Jing Ming, level 38, 15 years old", "Zhan Yi, level 30, 15 years old", "Tulu, level 34, 15 years old".

All four of them concealed their names and ages. At the age of fifteen, they were considered geniuses, but at the age of thirteen, they were prodigies.

In order not to make it too conspicuous, they chose to conceal it, because no one from the academy would come to such a place, as they were all in the inner continent, so a simple name change would be enough.

After several people registered, the old man gave each of them a card with the game time, match number, and number written on it.

When they were leaving, they saw that there was still a long line behind them and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a good thing Brother Lin asked us to come early. Looking at this situation, we probably won't be done until the evening."

Jing Cangming also sighed, "Oh, there are so many people, I don't know when the competition will end."

There were too many people, so the competition was spread out over several days. Fortunately, everyone came in order of registration, so the four of them all came on the same day, which was three days later.

Tu Li said, "It is estimated that this competition will take about ten days."

Yan Yuxiao said with a smile, "Be content. At least you don't have to come here every day. Otherwise, you won't even have time to practice."

"Okay, let's go back and practice while we still have time," Jing Cangming said.

Afterwards, a few people came to a nearby hotel and generously booked two rooms for fifteen days.

In the past, they had robbed many thugs outside the auction house and stole a lot of money, so now they are considered to be small rich people.

After making the arrangements, they all returned to their rooms to practice. Zhan Yongyi was more impatient than anyone else, after all, there was a dragon egg in the world ring.

After Zhan Yongyi came to his own world ring, he still saw the four areas of water, fire, grass and ice, among which the glacier was the largest. Zhan Yongyi appeared in the palace of the Ice Beast King.

The Phoenix and the Ice Crystal Deer lay on the left and right of the Beast Breeding Plant, looking at the dragon egg.

After seeing Zhan Yongyi coming, the phoenix ran over first, spreading its wings, looking very funny.

It ran over and lay down in front of Zhan Yongyi, waiting with its big watery eyes, acting pitiful, "Boss! When are you going to take me outside to play? It's so boring. This stupid deer keeps chanting in my ear all day long. It's so annoying." As it said that, it pointed at the ice crystal deer next to it with its big wings.

This ice crystal deer couldn't speak at first, that is, it was born mute. Later, Zhan Yongyi gave it a lot of medicine, which allowed it to speak. Who knows if it was because it had been holding back for too long, so it kept chattering.

One time, Zhan Yongyi couldn't stand it anymore and beat it up. Then it stopped nagging Zhan Yongyi and turned to talk to Fenghuang.

Who knew that beating the phoenix was useless? It just calmed down after beating it, but soon came over again to make trouble for no reason.

The Ice Crystal Deer also ran over at this time, and said with watery eyes, "Boss! Why are you here? Did you miss me? Or is there something else? Do you want to take me out? Is there any place where you can use me? I have leveled up, and I have learned several skills! Come and praise me!"

Zhan Yongyi was originally in a good mood, but he suddenly became unhappy. With a dark face, Zhan Yongyi raised his right hand high and gave Bingjing Deer a big slap in the face.

The Ice Crystal Deer's eyes immediately filled with tears, and then he knelt on the ground, saying like a complaining woman, "Boss, what are you doing? You didn't even tell me you missed me when I first came here, but you slapped me in the face. Woohoo, you're not nice to me."

Zhan Yongyi's face was filled with black lines. "I am your master, not your spouse! Go away and be disgusting!"

The Ice Crystal Deer blinked its resentful eyes at Zhan Yongyi, then stood up suddenly, raised its head and pouted as it walked out of the Beast King Palace.

The first few steps he took were normal, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking quite arrogant and indifferent. But before he had even walked ten meters, he suddenly started crying loudly, his four legs kept tossing and turning, making a clattering sound, and he kept saying, "Unfaithful man! Bah!"

Then he ran faster and faster, with a cloud of ice crystals rising behind him, and ran out of the Beast King Palace.

Zhan Yongyi covered his forehead and said, "I give up, neither of these two is normal."
