35: The tragic second place

"I also heard about this from the Old Master," Nightingale interjected. "It seems to be some kind of Centennial Feast."

"The Vicious Beasts have a hunting operation every hundred years, which they call a Feast."

Yu Xiu frowned, "According to you, do the Vicious Beasts have controllers?"

Nightingale shook her head, "I'm not very clear about that. I haven't been to any Ruins or Secret Realms, so I don't know the situation of the Vicious Beasts there."

After speaking, she looked at Chu Tianjiao again.

In her opinion, Chu Tianjiao was from the Chu Family, so he must know these things.

"Old Master, actually Vicious Beasts also have races. 'Vicious Beast' is just a term we Humans use, but Vicious Beasts call themselves the Sacred Race."

Chu Tianjiao explained, "Among the Vicious Beasts, there are also races with very high intelligence. I heard from my Old Master at home that some Vicious Beasts can speak human language, and their wisdom far surpasses that of Humans."

"Are there any Vicious Beasts that can transform into Humans?" Yu Xiu suddenly asked.

"Old Master, what are you thinking? Vicious Beasts are always Vicious Beasts. If they could transform into human form, it would probably require divine means. I'm afraid our Human Race would have been occupied by Vicious Beasts long ago."

Chu Tianjiao said, "As for the Vicious Beasts outside the Secret Realms and Ruins, they are all Low-Rank Vicious Beasts, without intelligence, simply possessing strong bodies and powerful strength."

"Once an intelligent Vicious Beast appears, the higher-ups will immediately send people to eliminate it."

"Perhaps Old Master, you're curious why there are Vicious Beasts in our world. I heard from the Old Master that this was when Martial Dao first began, and the Secret Realms and Ruins erupted, leading to Vicious Beast invasions. These are what remained after the great war."

"Firstly, it's to temper Humans, and secondly, the bodies and blood of these Vicious Beasts are greatly beneficial for Human Martial Artists' Body Tempering."

"As long as those intelligent Vicious Beasts don't appear, the higher-ups won't pay attention."

Yu Xiu nodded slightly.

Once intelligent Vicious Beasts appear, they can easily control armies of Vicious Beasts, and if they launch an attack on a city, it would be a beast tide.

What Yu Xiu saw and heard today made him realize that he didn't understand this world before.

Even the vast Qin Province Chu Family felt a sense of crisis, so how should he handle himself, and how should he protect his family?

"It seems I must establish my own force as soon as possible. The team qualification application Chu Tianjiao mentioned might be worth trying."

Although Yu Xiu had a plan in mind, he didn't explicitly state it.

After all, he was only in the City-Level Training Camp now. He would talk about it after he went to the National Training Camp.

As for his core team.

It was indeed suitable to look for them in the Training Camp. He would need to pay attention to that later.

After a long time.

Yu Xiu and the others returned to the Genius Training Camp.

This time, because Nightingale and Cang Lang, two instructors, were accompanying them, they didn't encounter any obstacles.

"Let's hand in the quests first!"

The four arrived at the quest office. Yu Xiu's four instructor quests earned him two thousand points.

Then he took out the left ears of the Vicious Beasts he had hunted. When the four woven bags appeared, the person at the quest office was visibly shocked.

Based on the strength and toughness of their skin tissue, Vicious Beasts are divided into three Ranks.

"These are all Rank Two and above Vicious Beasts, and there are even Rank Three Vicious Beasts."

The person tested the toughness of the left ears with an instrument and immediately exclaimed.

So-called Rank Two Vicious Beasts are Grandmaster Vicious Beasts, and Rank Three are Great Grandmaster Vicious Beasts.

Rank Two Vicious Beasts' strength can rival a Grandmaster, and Rank Three Vicious Beasts' strength can rival a Great Grandmaster.

"Yu Xiu, I can't calculate a score for yours. The Hunting List's scoring standard only has a Rank One Vicious Beast classification."

"But don't worry, the Vicious Beasts you hunted will definitely put you in first place, and you'll remain in first place until you leave the Training Camp."

In this person's opinion, even if all the students in the entire Training Camp were combined, their scores would probably never be higher than Yu Xiu's.

Therefore, for Yu Xiu to be the top of the Hunting List was absolutely well-deserved.

"Then so be it!"

Yu Xiu didn't care about the score, as long as he was first place.

Beep, beep, beep!

As soon as Yu Xiu walked out of the quest office, he heard a sound from his watch.

He looked down and found that another list had opened again, and it was opened early because of Yu Xiu.

"Quest List?"

Yu Xiu looked at it and found that after the Quest List appeared, he was already at the top.

And the top of the Hunting List was also Yu Xiu.

However, what was strange was that Yu Xiu's data on the Hunting List was three question marks.

Jiangtan Yu Xiu: ???

Unlike other students, there were numbers indicating scores after their names.

Not only that.

The Genius Training Camp also specifically marked a small note under Yu Xiu's name.

Score too high, unable to calculate.

...

In the forest.

Yang Duling and the others were resting. When their watches rang, they also checked immediately.

When they saw Yu Xiu's ranking and the Genius Training Camp's explanation.

Yang Duling couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Still so abnormal."

"Sister Yang, how many Vicious Beasts do you think Cultivation God hunted that even the Training Camp couldn't calculate a score?"

"But even if there were more, it shouldn't be impossible to calculate a score, right?"

Yang Duling chuckled, "I guess the Vicious Beasts Yu Xiu hunted were at least Rank Two and above. The Training Camp doesn't have corresponding scores for those Vicious Beasts."

"And I guess the number of Rank Two and above Vicious Beasts Yu Xiu hunted was too large, causing the Training Camp to be unable to calculate a specific score, so they just used three question marks instead."

"Now Yu Xiu's specific score is clearly no longer important. The Training Camp believes that no one can surpass his score."

The people around them suddenly understood.

"As expected of Cultivation God, he has now taken the top spot on all lists."

"Look at the Quest List. Four Great Grandmaster Rank quests. Cultivation God isn't giving anyone else a chance to surpass him!"

"We're still struggling for Martial Artist Rank quests, and Cultivation God went out once and completed four Great Grandmaster quests."

"If I remember correctly, our quests were accepted earlier than Cultivation God's, right? We're still working hard, and Cultivation God has already returned to the Training Camp to enjoy his leisure."

"I think you're just being foolish. Comparing yourself to Cultivation God, aren't you just asking for abuse!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

...

"Senior Yu Xiu is too terrifying! Three question marks, he's probably going to be famous forever. Such a thing has probably never happened in the history of the Training Camp."

"And look at the Quest List, Yu Xiu has already completed four Great Grandmaster quests."

"If you ask me, letting Senior Yu Xiu compete with us is simply bullying."

"Didn't they say there are direct invitation cards for the Training Camp? With Senior Yu Xiu's strength, isn't he qualified to receive an invitation card?"

"If that's truly the case, how strong must those who received invitation cards be?"

"You're overthinking it. I do know a bit about this. It's not that Senior Yu Xiu wasn't qualified to receive an invitation card, nor is it that those who received invitation cards are stronger than Senior Yu Xiu."

"It's just that when the invitation cards were issued, Senior Yu Xiu hadn't revealed his strength, so no one knew."

"This led to Senior Yu Xiu only being able to advance step by step through the City-Level Training Camp after the invitation cards were issued."

"Alas, speaking of which, our luck is bad, especially those who ranked second on the lists. They're the ones who feel the worst."
