162: Chapter 162 The Rules of the Beast Taming Competition

However—

Chen Yi's gaze fell upon the rows of luxury cars in the Bai family courtyard and the people constantly unloading gifts from them; he got the feeling that some major power had come to visit.

As someone without power or influence, he felt it wouldn't be right to go in now.

"Next time! It's indeed too late today. It would be inappropriate to intrude so abruptly!"

"Mm, alright then! See you next time!"

Chu Feiyu naturally understood that her request was a bit much.

After all, it really wasn't appropriate to disturb people so late at night.

So she didn't push further and accepted the outcome quite reasonably.

After waving goodbye to Chen Yi and his group, Chu Feiyu stood there, watching them drive away.

Only when the car had receded into the distance and disappeared into the night did she slowly turn around.

At this moment, Chu Feiyu was exceptionally excited, unable to suppress the upward curve of her lips.

Because she knew the moment she had been longing for was finally arriving.

She hadn't seen Big Brother Bai Song for an entire half-year!

And today, she could finally see him again!

At the thought of this, Chu Feiyu's steps became light, and she skipped into the Bai family courtyard.

On the other side.

Once in the car, Chen Yi and the others took the materials on the Beast Taming Contest organized by Li Yang and began to read through them carefully.

The Beast Taming Contest, as the largest event for Dragon Country's younger generation, was divided into three stages: the Auditions, the Qualifiers, and the Finals.

After registering, every participant would receive an identity point card.

Within seven days of the competition's start, they could use this card to go to the Beast Tamer Association's simulated battle rooms to engage in combat through random matchmaking with other Beast Tamers!

Various barriers were set up within these simulated battle rooms.

Anyone sustaining a fatal injury would be automatically healed and teleported out; there was no risk of dying from a duel, so one could fight boldly without worry.

Winning a match earned one point, losing a match deducted one point, and a draw resulted in no deduction.

There was no limit on the number of matches; as long as you had enough stamina, you could fight indefinitely within those seven days.

After the rankings were finalized at midnight on the seventh day, those in the top one thousand points would proceed to the Qualifiers.

The subsequent Qualifiers were a series of targeted duels.

The initial ranking was based on the Audition results, and points were no longer used to track rankings.

These one thousand Beast Tamers would be divided into groups of one hundred for a round-robin challenge tournament.

In this stage, every Beast Tamer needed to duel each of the other ninety-nine members in their group. Once all matches were completed, the number of wins would be calculated.

If the number of wins was tied, their head-to-head record would be compared, with the winner receiving the higher rank.

Finally, the top ten Beast Tamers from each of the ten groups would advance to the final battle stage—the Melee.

In this stage, everyone would be transferred to a valley also equipped with teleportation barriers, where virtual AI Magical Beasts would constantly spawn.

During this Melee, killing virtual AI Magical Beasts earned points, and eliminating opponents also earned points.

The final rankings would be determined by the total points, deciding the true winner!

The process of the entire Beast Taming Contest sounded simple, but it contained many hidden rules.

For instance, in the Auditions and Qualifiers, participants could find people to buy points from or win-trade; in the Melee, they could team up, or launch sneak attacks and backstab others while they were fighting virtual beasts—

None of these rules were forbidden; anything goes!

This undoubtedly gave participants more strategies and choices, making the competition more complex and interesting.

But ultimately, it still came down to one's own strength.

Without strength, even if you bought your way to first place, you would only earn a bad reputation;

With strength, even if you were eliminated early due to various factors, you would still be noticed by certain people, and it wasn't impossible to be recruited as an external disciple of a great family!

Precisely because of this, many Beast Tamers and Spirit Beasts without backgrounds wanted to use this platform to showcase themselves.

If things went well, a life-changing opportunity was right before them!

This resulted in a situation where hundreds of thousands of young Beast Tamers and Spirit Beasts from across the country participated together.

"It feels pretty simple, doesn't it? Isn't taking first place going to be easy?"

Chen Yi curled his lip and said.

According to his observations, The girls' current physiques and spiritual power had basically reached the level of an ordinary Rank 5, Stage 5 Spirit Beast.

If Su Taotao absorbed a bit more power and bestowed it, that would firmly be Rank 6 power!

Plus, Chen Yi now had six Spirit Beasts contracted; he could fully function as a Rank 6 Beast Tamer.

What kind of existence was a Rank 6 Beast Tamer?

In the records of Dragon Country, over five thousand years, only three people had reached Rank 6 before the age of 25, and all of them were formed by concentrating all the world's rarest resources onto a single person!

With this strength, would he still fear being unable to beat those brats who hadn't even reached Rank 5?

What was there to even think about!

"Little Brother Chen Yi, you are gravely mistaken if you think that way!"

Luo Shiyin analyzed, "Spirit Beasts have diverse abilities, and so do the talents of Beast Tamers! If you're too flashy, it's easy to be seen as a thorn in the side by other troublemakers. You might get ganged up on, and it could be troublesome if you encounter an unknown ability."

Chen Yi smiled. "I only said that because I believe in your power—and besides, I definitely won't do anything flashy, so don't you worry!"

Hearing this, Luo Shiyin breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, just don't be too reckless!"

Just then, Chen Yi suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Su Taotao.

"Wait a second, Tao Tao, I remember you're a streamer, right? If you participate, aren't you afraid of being recognized by your fans?"

Su Taotao chuckled softly and said, "It's fine! Besides, I plan to use this Beast Taming Contest as a springboard to officially bid farewell to my past! Brother Chen Yi, I hope you can support me!"

"Is that so?"

Chen Yi nodded. "I will always be your backing. Go ahead and do what you want to do with confidence!"

"Thank you, Brother Chen Yi, mwah~~~"

Meanwhile, back at the other side.

By now, an hour had passed since Chen Yi left the Bai family manor.

An hour ago, Chu Feiyu had run into the Bai family manor with a heart full of joy, her face brimming with an excited smile.

However, only an hour later, she walked out as if her soul had been snatched away, looking utterly despondent.

Following behind her were the couple, Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue.

The three of them walked silently along the night streets, the surrounding hustle and bustle forming a sharp contrast with them.

Finally, Chu Feiyu could no longer suppress the pain in her heart and threw herself into Chu Xiaohe's arms, weeping loudly.

"How is it possible—"

"Big Brother Bai Song... he actually went back on his word??"

"Why did it turn out like this? Is it because I spent the whole day playing with Brother Chen Yi today, and someone saw us and reported it?"

"But I was only acting as a guide! Nothing happened between me and Brother Chen Yi. Why would Big Brother Bai Song act so decisively..."
