Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Upon meeting her, Yu Xuantong cut to the chase, "Mingxi, are you sure you want to form a solo group in the team competition?"

When Mingxi received the call, she already knew why they were looking for her this time.

It seems they, like themselves, prefer Option 1.

"Team leader, coaches, I know what you're worried about, but resilience is an important quality that an excellent beast tamer should possess."

Undeniably, competing on two tracks without any teamwork will put me under immense pressure, but I know my own situation best. Teaming up with Lu Yunshen will make things much easier for both of us.

But to be honest, teaming up with him didn't significantly improve my personal development.

You might think that the competition is all about achieving good results, and that improving your skills can be done through regular training.

But I think the purpose of the competition is not only to win glory for the country and prove ourselves, but also to discover our shortcomings in the competition and when we fight against different opponents!

I don't know how others understand the word 'achievement,' but in my mind, achievement means that growth is the true gain.

What's the point of being complacent and just endlessly bullying weaker opponents without any challenge?

She spoke in a low voice and at a slow pace, with a calm and unhurried demeanor.

But they were completely engrossed in listening.

Yuan Hu suddenly smiled and said, "Good! It's great that you have such insight and ideas. Pressure is also a driving force to become stronger. I agree to let you form a group solo."

"Thank you, Coach Yuan."

Since Yuan Hu had said so, the others naturally had no objections.

I was mainly persuaded by Mingxi.

At this moment, Yuan Hu looked at Mingxi, forcing a kind smile onto his angular, square face, and said, "Little Mingxi, I heard you rejected our Wanling Beast Taming University's special admission offer? May I ask why?"

Mingxi remembered Yuan Hu's identity and did not hide her intentions. "My father disappeared on Green Field Star many years ago. He was never seen alive or dead. I want to find him, so I plan to prepare for another year and take the entrance exam for Green Field University next year."

That's it!

Yuan Hu frowned: "The Wizard of Oz University?"

Mingxi's reason was unexpected.

This child is very opinionated; once she's made up her mind, it's hard for anyone to change it, especially since it concerns her father.

But he really didn't want to give such an outstanding student to other universities!

No, we have to think of a way!

When Mingxi returned to the training room, everyone else was resting.

After a few days of getting to know each other, everyone has become much closer, sitting together and chatting noisily.

"Ming Shen, did the team leaders call you over to discuss the participant list?" Xu Jiu, who had a baby face, ran over, spun around in front of Ming Xi, and made a gesture of squatting down and standing up while holding her skirt with both hands.

"When you look at me now, do I resemble a beautiful princess preparing to dance alone, or a sexy dancer about to dance with wolves?"

He gazed at Mingxi with burning eyes.

Mingxi was speechless.

He should ask an obstetrician about this.

"When I look at you now, you're like a little mermaid who can only watch the prince marry a beautiful young woman."

Mingxi ignored him.

"Brother, what does Ming Shen mean by this?"

Shi Nianhua smiled. "She told you to disappear right now."

"Oh no, did I not get selected?"

Xu Jiu wailed.

The others were also very curious; their feelings at that moment were like those before the results of an exam were about to be released—a mixture of nervousness and trepidation.

However, they knew that Mingxi was very tight-lipped, and even if she really knew, she definitely wouldn't say it. Didn't that clown Xu Jiu just get the cold shoulder?

They could only sit together and guess, hoping that Mingxi would have a 'change of heart' and hear them and chime in with a word or two.

"The individual track will likely feature around twelve people; whoever is the strongest will advance. I just don't know how the team track will be arranged?"

"I'm just curious who the captain will team up with?"

"Following Coach Yuan's old tricks, he either plays against the strongest or the weakest team."

"The team leaders just called Mingxi over. Could it be to ask her what she thinks? Let her choose her teammates? Who will she choose? She seems to fit in well with all of us."

"Actually, I personally feel that everyone here is trash, and Ming Shen is only fit to be beautiful by himself!"

"You're really something, you even criticize yourself when you get ruthless!"

"..."

Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, but the five substitutes barely spoke. They all knew that they were basically there to sit on the bench.

Not long after, Yu Xuantong, Yuan Hu, and the others returned.

Everyone fell silent, all eyes turning to the five people.

Although Yuan Hu works in education, he is not one to preach. He is a pragmatic and results-oriented person, so he didn't waste any words and started announcing the final list of the two tracks as soon as he entered the door.

"The twelve team members participating in the individual track are Mingxi, Lu Yunshen, Jia Xiaoxiao, He Changming, Shen Yan, Yue Zhiguang, Lin Lucheng, Xu Jiu, Shi Nianhua, Zhou Fang, Xia Zhizhi, and Wu Cai."

The list is pretty much what everyone expected.

Aside from the fact that An Qi wasn't selected, it's a bit strange that Wu Cai, who was at the bottom of the rankings, was selected.

Anchi, who was not selected, was a little disappointed. Was his fifth-place ranking on the rookie list fake? How miserable!

As if sensing everyone's confusion, Yuan Hu kindly explained, "An Qi, don't be sad. You are very strong, but once you are too tired or have to concentrate for a long time, you will run out of energy."

In other words, their endurance and stress resistance are not very good.

"Your captain and I both think you're better suited for team battles."

Hearing this, An Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew his own shortcomings; someone like him definitely couldn't participate in both tracks.

He understood what Coach Yuan meant and was assigned to the team track.

He doesn't care whether someone participates in the competition or it's an individual or a team.

Seeing that his mood had improved significantly, Yuan Hu nodded in satisfaction; his mindset was indeed quite good.

As for why Wu Cai was chosen?

The reason is even simpler.

Because she is simply not suited to participate in team competitions. Her personality is too stubborn and self-important, and she can't cooperate well with anyone.

Even when she teamed up with Mingxi, she felt that she was more suited to be the commander.

A typical case of someone who's bad at the game but has a huge addiction!

But since she was a regular starter, it was impossible to prevent her from participating in any track, so the only option was to assign her to the individual track.

However, there's no need to state the reason.

Even young girls have their pride.

"Next, we'll announce the list of participants for the team track," Yuan Hu continued.

"Team 1 consists of Lu Yunshen and Jia Xiaoxiao, with Lu Yunshen serving as the chief commander."

When this lineup was announced, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Why were these two sworn enemies put in the same group?

Even Lu Yunshen and Jia Xiaoxiao, the parties involved, showed expressions of incomprehension, their eyes filled with confusion as they looked at Yuan Hu.

Yuan Hu pretended not to see it and continued to announce: "Team 2 consists of Shen Yan, Xu Jiu, and Shi Nianhua, with Xu Jiu serving as the main commander."
