96: A round of fish frying competition, a beastmaster with the Void Spider!

Just bored.

Fang Ran also responded a few words.

"What happens if we get first place in this competition?"

As soon as these words came out.

A Beast Tamer whose avatar was a cannon, who had been silent all along, sent a message.

"First place? That's reserved for those old guys, we just need to get into the top fifty."

"The rewards for the top fifty are enough for the Second Beast to proceed unimpeded on its future evolution path."

Clearly, the speaker's status was very high.

Everyone waited until he finished speaking before starting to talk.

"Brother Pao is right, we're all just here to join the fun, only Brother Pao can get a ranking!"

"Haha, I heard Brother Pao's Second Beast is also at the High-level Beast Master."

"Before, Brother Pao was among the top ten of a first-tier academy, Dengling Academy!"

"We're also unlucky, this time we were assigned to the Imperial Capital Academy's division, in the same group as the Master of that Void Phantom Spider!"

"Don't worry, maybe with some luck, we won't run into him?"

"Void Phantom Spider? I remember it wasn't a Beast from Hong Zheng's company? Its level shouldn't be high, right?"

Fang Ran remembered something.

When Lin Qinghuan helped him contract his second pet beast, she had gone to Hong Zheng's company.

Their S-Grade Beast was precisely the Void Phantom Spider, and he heard it had been reserved early on.

"Not exactly, the Second Pet Beast Competition is a struggle between those pet beast companies and the imperial families."

"Every year, they acquire top-tier S-Grade Beasts, cultivate them to the High-Level Middle Stage or High-level Beast Master, and deeply bind them with some talented Beast Tamer, using the Second Beast Competition to promote themselves."

Pao Shen clearly knew a lot.

He directly revealed the inside story.

"But you don't need to worry, we still have a chance to get into the top 50."

"The premise is, don't run into these pitfalls along the way."

Of course.

Even if they didn't run into pitfalls.

It was highly likely that those in this group wouldn't even make it into the top hundred.

What kind of experts could be bragging in the group at this time?

However, Pao Shen was not included in that.

He was just carefully teaching the newcomers, absolutely not because he heard there were many girls.

Everyone agreed on a time, and the next day they arrived at the Martial Arts Field in the Imperial Capital.

As soon as they met, Fang Ran recognized the man who had taken him to buy the Slime.

"Fang Brother, you're here so early?"

"Yes."

Fang Ran really wanted to say that he studied here, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Among the dozen or so people who came here, there were quite a few women.

Several people's gazes fell on Fang Ran's face.

So handsome!

The most crucial thing was that he was young!

"The competition will start soon, get ready." The Beast Tamer named Pao Shen, who looked slightly stout, reminded them.

And that young man came closer to Fang Ran.

"Fang Brother, Pao Shen is a professional competitor, you can't go wrong following him!"

"He's 24 this year, and he won't be able to compete next year, but he's made it into the top fifty of the competition for the past two or three years!"

"As long as he can make it into the top fifty this time, the accumulated resources will be enough for his Second Beast to break through all the way to the Transcendent Grade!"

The young man had a smug look on his face.

He seemed excited to be able to know such a person.

It was also because he invited Pao Shen that he was able to find so many girls!

"You can play like this?" Fang Ran was surprised.

If one didn't have money, deliberately keeping the Beast's level low was indeed a good method.

After all, the rewards given by the competition were too tempting, much easier to earn than risking one's life!

"Where is your Beast? Fang Brother." The young man asked.

"Here." Fang Ran summoned the Slime from his Beast Taming Space.

"What is this? Why is it a purple blob? You didn't... really contract that Slime, did you?"

He was shocked.

He suddenly remembered the incident where Wang Er Gou from the market was sought out!

With a Beast of this level, wouldn't Fang Ran be eliminated on the first day?

The first day, the preliminary round.

In the Martial Arts Field.

Many arenas were set up.

The Beast Tamer would determine their opponents through drawing lots!

Each Beast Tamer had to compete in 5 matches on the first day; winning 3 matches would qualify them!

Fang Ran's opponent was a Beast Tamer from another academy.

"Gale Leopard!"

Both of them summoned their Beasts simultaneously.

That Beast Tamer immediately felt relieved when he saw Fang Ran's blob.

Fang Ran was also a bit surprised.

"Is it just B level?"

He thought everyone participating was smurfing, but he didn't expect there would be fish getting smurfed.

But then he suddenly remembered that he was, after all, at Imperial Capital Academy, and his perspective was indeed a bit higher.

That person felt humiliated and immediately became angry.

You contracted a Slime, what are you pretending for?

However.

As soon as the two sides made contact.

In just an instant.

The figure of the Gale Leopard flew high and crashed outside the arena!

Instant kill!

When that Beast Tamer walked off the arena, he still wore an expression of disbelief!

He lost to a Slime, a purple Slime...

"You won." The person responsible for recording on the side noted down 1 win for Fang Ran.

"Do you want to rest for a while? You can rest for ten minutes after each match."

"No need, let's continue."

The scorekeeper was a bit surprised.

But, he still arranged an opponent for Fang Ran.

"You won."

"Won."

"Won again?"

"Fang Ran... 5 wins out of 5, advancing to the next round!"

The person recording the results looked at Fang Ran's figure, with a hint of shock in his pupils!

He had seen smurfing, but he had never seen smurfing like this!

4 B level pet beasts, 1 A level, only one of which was in the High-Level Early Stage, and the other four were all in the High-Level Middle Stage!

But the result of the battles was without exception!

Instant kill!

All pet beasts that encountered the Slime were instantly sent flying out of the arena!

The damage wasn't great, but the humiliation was extremely strong!

Those few eliminated Beast Tamer fought desperately in the next few matches!

Fearing they wouldn't have another chance to meet Fang Ran and be left with a lifelong psychological shadow.

After the first round ended.

Many Beast Tamer were complaining along the way.

"Such bad luck, running into a professional player right at the start!"

"Can't the organizers change the rules and only allow graduating Beasts to participate?"

"You should be secretly happy, just now a Beast Tamer who encountered the Void Phantom Spider didn't hold back, and his Beast has been poisoned and sent to the medical room!"

Everyone sighed continuously.

Not far away.

Fang Ran also noticed a Beast Tamer wearing the Imperial Capital Academy school uniform, surrounded by a crowd.

It was precisely the Beast Tamer who owned the Void Phantom Spider, also a top-tier Beast Tamer ranked very high in their third year!

Only geniuses who consistently stay in the top ten of the Five Great Academies throughout the year are valued by the strong.

"How was it, Fang Ran? Did you pass?" The young man who was with Fang Ran looked into the distance enviously and said.

"Just finished winning." Fang Ran said.

"3-2? Your luck is pretty good, a Slime can pass too? I also got 3-2, but I only encountered some freshmen!" He looked at Fang Ran in surprise.

"As long as I don't encounter anyone from the Five Great Academies, I'm still confident I can get into the top hundred!"

Among them, only Pao Shen passed with 4-1, truly worthy of being in the top ten of a former first-tier academy!

"Rest up, the opponents will get stronger and stronger from now on, you must always keep your pet beasts in the best condition." Pao Shen reminded the two of them.

"As long as we pass the preliminary round, we'll be considered among the top hundred in the main competition."
