184: Chapter 184 The Growth of the Team
The Safety Officer laughed at this moment.
The expressions of Su Lixia and the other two girls changed, their gazes shifting to the Safety Officer with a mix of emotions.
"After consultation with the Grading Group, confronting the White Fluff Yeti has been included as an extra credit question for all candidate teams."
This information did not need to be kept secret; even if the candidate teams hadn't guessed it, the Safety Officer would have eventually informed them.
The three girls widened their eyes in pleasant surprise.
Not only were they not held responsible for accidentally intruding into a Pet Beast's nest, but the responsibility of confronting the White Fluff Yeti was also being shared.
This was truly lucky!
Their smiles became more lively, but the Safety Officer poured cold water on them: "Don't be happy too soon.
What you have to face are not just those White Fluff Yetis, but also a Pet Beast Overlord whose strength has reached the Five-Star level."
A Pet Beast Overlord is not only powerful but can also command other Pet Beasts within its territory to follow orders.
No, it doesn't even need to command other Pet Beasts.
The White Fluff Yeti Overlord only needs to lead its tribe in a massive advance to scatter these loosely organized candidate teams.
The racial value of the White Fluff Yeti is not low; it is famous for its powerful attack power among A-rank Pet Beasts.
The three girls' faces turned pale upon hearing this news.
A White Fluff Yeti with Five-Star strength is on par with the main combat Pet Beasts of those Elite Beast Tamers.
Not to mention there was a Pet Beast Overlord among them!
Such terrifying combat power was simply not something candidates, whose strength was generally at the Two-Star level, could handle.
Xue Qin squeezed out a smile: "Hehe, will there be Beast Tamers from the Military assisting us then?"
The Safety Officer smiled but said nothing.
Notifying them that the White Fluff Yeti had become an extra credit question was part of the job, but privately communicating with candidates was a major taboo.
Xue Qin asked again unwillingly: "Then will the Beast Tamers from the fortress step forward to direct our organization for battle?"
The Safety Officer still smiled without speaking.
Xue Qin's face turned bitter, thinking it was completely over.
...
The last day of the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination.
When the second night in the Secret Realm ended, the candidates participating in the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination set off to return to the Military Fortress.
A mere three days was not enough to explore the vast Tianluo Secret Realm.
Naturally, the powerful candidate teams had wandered a bit further; if they wanted to participate in this extra credit question, they had to return early.
The less capable candidate teams were indeed not far away.
However, they had already challenged the Pet Beasts they could challenge, and staying longer wouldn't increase their practical combat score, so they might as well leave early.
In front of an open space trampled by large Pet Beasts.
A massive crowd of candidates formed a sea of people; heads moved in a dense mass, and voices rose in waves like the tide.
They had either deduced the extra credit question, been notified by a Safety Officer, or simply wanted to finish the assessment as soon as possible.
In the sparsely wooded area ahead.
Chills surged, causing the temperature to drop sharply; tiny snowflakes condensed in mid-air and slowly drifted to the ground.
Giant snowballs were piled up in the woods, one after another, which were actually the resting White Fluff Yetis.
The candidates knew the White Fluff Yeti was the extra credit question and didn't dare to be careless; they waited in solemn formation.
As early as their way back to the Military Fortress, the candidates had noticed the White Fluff Yetis coming from the Frostspine Snow Ridge.
These White Fluff Yetis looked cute and honest, moving slowly like giant snowballs rolling past, making them hard to miss.
At that time, they hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.
After knowing these big guys were the extra credit question, they all hoped for a Military Beast Tamer to step forward and lead.
A disorganized group couldn't deal with the White Fluff Yetis.
"Whoa, it's really lively!"
Looking around at the sea of figures, Mo Yu couldn't help but joke: "If everyone united, we could wear down the White Fluff Yetis through a war of attrition. How could there be no chance of winning?"
That was easy to say, but no one would listen.
The number of Beast-Tamer Students in Nanyuan Province participating in the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination was over 30,000, though not as many as the Liberal Arts Students taking the regular college entrance exam.
The difficulty of organizing these strangers would definitely be much greater than imagined.
"Not that many people will participate in the battle."
Jiang Hanqiu frowned and pointed at the bustling crowd: "Those are candidates who chose to end the college entrance exam early.
Because the White Fluff Yeti is highly dangerous, the hard requirement for this extra credit question is that all team members must reach Two-Star."
After a pause, Jiang Hanqiu added.
Although most candidates were at this level, it would still filter out some teams that didn't meet the Rank requirement.
Mo Yu suddenly felt a chill.
Fortunately, I was promoted to a two-star Beastmaster during the Chinese New Year.，Otherwise, it would implicate Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun.。 Fortunately, I promoted to a Two-Star Beast Tamer during the New Year; otherwise, I would have held Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun back.
"Hey, what are you muttering about?"
Wen Guyu, looking capable and experienced, squeezed through the crowd to Jiang Hanqiu to say hello, then turned to look at the Three Heavenly Kings.
Xu Qingfang nodded slightly: "Long time no see!"
"It's only been a few months."
Wen Guyu waved her hand to indicate no need for formalities, then looked with a beaming smile at the helpless Yue Yun beside her.
Feeling Wen Guyu's teasing gaze, Yue Yun had an "as expected" expression and explained calmly.
"It wasn't me, it was Mimicry, you understand?"
"Then you should ask Xiao Yingyue if she believes you!"
Wen Guyu didn't answer directly but looked giggling at the approaching candidate team nearby.
The captain, Xiao Yingyue, smiled faintly upon hearing this.
Su Lixia's team was also approaching this way.
Hearing their conversation, Xue Qin shrank her head like a quail, wishing she could bury her face in the Heart-Confusing Fox's fur.
Yue Yun was suddenly amused and angry.
"Old Xue, give me back my reputation!"
"Quack... Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, quack!"
A large, powerful palm pinched the back of Xue Qin's neck, scaring her into making a duck-like cry as she repeatedly begged for mercy.
Everyone burst into laughter; even Shen Xing, Chu Yunsheng, and others who were rushing over couldn't hold back their smiles.
Lu Chaoyang's team, standing quite far away, stopped in their tracks.
"Should we go over?" Xu Mingche noticed the commotion over there, his lips curling into a slight smile.
Although it was a question, he didn't really mean to ask.
When the Three Heavenly Kings and Jiang Hanqiu's team joined forces, the center of gravity had already uncontrollably shifted in that direction.
On one side was the winning team of the Campus Championship, and on the other were the possessors of S-rank Beast Taming Talents from Nanyuan First Middle School.
Their appearance was destined to attract attention.
Wen Guyu's approach was just the beginning; Su Lixia's joining was not the end; even more teams would join in.
Lu Chaoyang looked over at the sound, and seeing the figures of the Three Heavenly Kings, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
"They really are like bad omens!"
Lu Chaoyang grumbled to himself, also realizing that as the team continued to grow, they would gradually take the initiative.
That was a combination of appeal and strength.
Lu Chaoyang finally nodded gently as if accepting his fate.
Zhou Yuexin pulled the two of them toward the Three Heavenly Kings without a word, not forgetting to lecture Lu Chaoyang.
"Oh, you just have too much of a prejudice!"
"Why don't you talk about how that prejudice came to be?"
Lu Chaoyang couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
