89: Better livelihood

Of course, far more than just the people in this one vehicle were enthusiastically discussing Li Wen.

Compared to the heated discussions about Li Wen in other vehicles, the conversations in this one were relatively mild and peaceful.

In another vehicle not far from here, the atmosphere was much more lively!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, getting 9999 points—he's just a show-off!"

"He's probably just relying on that one slightly stronger entry-level advanced pet. He doesn't even have a single commander-level pet!"

A voice full of disdain rang out.

"Isn't that the truth! If it came to a real fight, my Jade Swarm Bees could definitely handle him with ease."

"Sigh, it's a pity we can't fight each other now, otherwise I'd definitely show him a thing or two and see if he still dares to be so arrogant!"

Another person said aggressively, his face a picture of righteous indignation, as if he had already suffered a great loss.

However, just as this person was speaking animatedly, someone who had been silent until now suddenly spoke up.

Whether he intentionally wanted to undermine them or suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he slowly said,

"You guys say... is there such a possibility? That so-called 'stronger entry-level advanced pet' is actually the weakest of all of Li Wen's pets."

"But even so, he still couldn't control his strength and accidentally got such a high score."

As soon as these words were uttered, the previously noisy carriage instantly fell silent, everyone frozen as if under a petrification spell, dumbfounded.

"That's unlikely, right!"

"Who can say for sure? I don't think he's simple, and besides, whose pet can achieve such data at the entry-level advanced stage?"

...If Li Wen were present at this moment and heard these words, he would surely mutter to himself,

"You're good at guessing, so guess more!"

Compared to what was happening here, the discussion among the group at the very front was truly the most crucial core of this examination.

There were rows of examiner-dedicated vehicles parked there, and inside sat all the examiners responsible for supervising the advanced area.

Unlike previous years' advanced areas, this year saw another innovation.

Because of this, they had to come to this brand-new examination location to work, while other ordinary areas only needed to continue using the previous examination venues.

Among the group, a relatively young-looking examiner lowered his voice and quietly said,

"It's one thing to make us 'cats' chase those examinees, but to also assign scores to us? What kind of game is this, exactly?"

"Are we, these battle-hardened examiners, really at risk of being successfully counter-killed by those examinees, who are mere 'mice'?"

Hearing him say this, another young-looking examiner next to him quickly interjected a reminder.

"You must not be so careless! You should know that among the examinees participating in this examination, there are quite a few Beastmasters whose strength has reached the commander level."

Although his face was still somewhat youthful, the words that came from his mouth were surprisingly convincing, as if carrying an innate authority and confidence.

Even the person who had spoken earlier did not refute this, but calmly stated an undeniable fact.

"You should know that we examiners are all at least strong individuals with commander-intermediate strength, while the highest level of these newcomers participating in the assessment is probably only commander-initial."

At this moment, the young man slightly narrowed his eyes, gently stroking his chin, lost in deep thought.

A moment later, he slowly spoke.

"While that's true, everyone here has probably experienced the College Entrance Examination, right? For some exceptionally gifted individuals, challenging those of a higher rank seems to have become a part of their daily lives."

"So, if any of you happen to stumble badly here today, please don't blame me if I make fun of you for it later."

After these words, a brief silence fell over the scene... Just then, Li Wen took his first firm steps onto the examination ground.

It must be said, his luck was quite good; as soon as he appeared, he coincidentally encountered an initial commander-level Bronze Elephant.

The Energy Value contained within this Bronze Elephant was not particularly high; with Qing Yan's current abilities, it could easily handle it.

But Li Wen already had other plans in mind. He wanted to personally test the results of the evolution, so he resolutely chose to have Yuan Wang enter the battle.

Bronze Elephant, use Tackle!

In an instant, the enormous Bronze Elephant charged towards Yuan Wang like a wild horse, raising a gust of wind.

Facing the aggressive enemy, Li Wen remained unhurried, muttering under his breath.

"Yuan Wang, use Imperial Might — 'Almighty Push'!"

As the words fell, a powerful, almost visible, tangible repulsive force instantly erupted, directly stopping the Bronze Elephant's charge dead in its tracks and, in the blink of an eye, sending it tumbling to the ground.

Psychic power surged again, but this time it didn't just knock the target down as before; instead, it transformed into a powerful restraining force, instantly binding it tightly.

In just the next second, the materialized restraint, like an indestructible chain, firmly connected to the Bronze Elephant, carrying it upwards into the sky.

As the height continuously increased, the Bronze Elephant and the chain of restraint formed a breathtaking sight in the air.

However, they soon began to freefall, plummeting towards the ground at an astonishing speed. When it finally crashed heavily to the ground, the Bronze Elephant had already lost its ability to continue fighting.

This battle progressed exceptionally smoothly, almost without suspense.

But for Li Wen, a 'dishonest player' who always liked to seek thrills and challenge limits, he always felt that something crucial was missing.

He frowned, thinking to himself, "Hunting pets so honestly really isn't my usual style!"

Just as Li Wen was feeling troubled by this, as the examiners filed into the examination hall, a loud and clear broadcast suddenly came from above the entire examination hall... "Now, examiners entering the field. Examiner-related rules."

"1. Examiners can patrol freely."

"2. If you see an examiner, please flee immediately. Otherwise, if you remain in his line of sight for 20 seconds, he may choose to act proactively."

"3. If an examinee is defeated by an examiner, he will lose half of his total score."

"4. Examiners are not unbeatable; their hats might be a good thing."
