96: Blackness before my eyes

The summoned pet opened its mouth and spewed out tiny spores.

Because these spores were relatively heavy, they spread at an extraordinary speed when carried by the wind.

In the blink of an eye, they spread like a surging torrent, so rapidly that it was almost impossible to see their original color in an instant.

It was precisely because of this that he couldn't accurately determine the exact size of the area covered by these spores.

Even the seemingly slow initial spread might have been part of the opponent's meticulously planned strategy.

Feng Jingmo: I didn't! I'm a genuinely honest person!

For Qi Ling, it was too late to say anything at this point, as his pet had already been affected.

Facing this situation, the only viable option seemed to be to endure the effects of these spores and forcefully engage in a life-or-death battle with his opponent.

At the same time, in the live broadcast room, the once famous Heavenly King Yan, now a host, was meticulously explaining every detail of this fierce battle to the audience.

He said in a loud voice.

“The Gale Hunting Falcon displayed so many abnormal effects precisely because it was affected by the spores from the Giant Spore Mushroom.”

“You see, under normal circumstances, these spores travel quite slowly, but this time they managed to hit their target, entirely thanks to the unique trait of the Winged Wind Bird.”

“While such a combination cannot yet be called a complete secret art, as it lacks Mystic form-level Skills, it is certainly a prototype of a secret art.”

“To achieve such synergy and effect at this stage, it's no exaggeration to say he already possesses the potential of a Heavenly King.”

Compared to the previous two individuals, Heavenly King Yan clearly demonstrated a much higher level of professionalism in the field of beast taming.

However, the problem was that the primary goal of this College Entrance Examination live broadcast event was not merely to showcase professional knowledge, but to ignite the public's keen interest and passion for beast taming through this method.

Compared to the more accessible and colloquial commentary styles, Heavenly King Yan's words seemed overly profound and obscure.

As a result, most viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't understand what he was trying to convey.

Consequently, the originally bustling live broadcast room seemed to have been put on pause, instantly becoming deserted.

Even the usually active comment section appeared to have suddenly frozen, with no new threads piling up.

However, Tianyan, which possesses Advanced Wisdom, was operating verySpirituality at this moment.

It clearly knew what kind of content everyone truly wanted to see.

Sure enough, the screen still displayed intense battle scenes, but this time the perspective had changed—no longer the usual angle, but cleverly shifted to a completely new direction.

The camera slowly moved, eventually including Li Wen, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion and was cautiously watching the fierce battle from atop a large tree, into the frame.

At this moment, Li Wen was muttering to himself.

“If the examiner can defeat his opponent, then I'll go down later and avenge that unfortunate brother who lost!”

After a pause, he continued.

“But if the examiner is at a disadvantage and about to lose the match, hey buddy, I'm sorry, but at that point, I'll just have to go for the kill.”

Although Heavenly King Yan exerted himself to the fullest, sparing no effort to create an entertaining atmosphere for the program and attempting to enliven the mood.

However, when faced with that contestant who seemed to possess an extraordinary ability for abstraction from birth, all efforts seemed pale and powerless.

Just a casual remark, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a thousand waves, causing the entire live broadcast room to boil over again.

Netizen A eagerly spammed the bullet comments, complaining: “What's going on here? King of Pretension, where has your high and mighty, arrogant swagger gone?”

Immediately after, Netizen B also chimed in: “Oh my god, what on earth have I become a fan of? Is it too late to switch my support to another contestant now?”

However, some viewers also praised this contestant's performance, for example, Netizen C excitedly left a message saying: “Not bad, not bad, alright! Ruthless enough, hehe, I like it!”

...Returning to the topic, Feng Jingmo had already put his utmost effort into both the meticulous cultivation of his pets and the careful development of tactical strategies, striving for perfection.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, there are always stronger opponents, and the adversary he encountered was also a once-in-a-century genius.

Not only that, but the pet carried by his opponent also had a slight advantage in growth level.

Because of this, even though Feng Jingmo repeatedly used clever techniques to successfully interfere with and interrupt his opponent's casting process with abnormal status effects, the bitter end of defeat still awaited him.

Seeing that the time seemed ripe, Li Wen stood up and jumped down, instructing Ya Bao to remove its Disguise and revert to its Spirit Swordsman form.

Feng Jingmo saw someone else challenging the examiner and wasn't upset; instead, he was quite happy, as he had already lost anyway.

If the opponent won, he would avenge him; if the opponent lost, someone would accompany him.

He said,

“Good luck, buddy.”

And then he left to let his pet recover.

Although the abnormal status had been removed after defeating the Giant Spore Mushroom, the appearance of this battlefield “ghoul” still made Qi Ling's vision go dark.

His face instantly darkened, and he asked Li Wen.

“Are you sure you want to challenge me? Retreat now, and I can still give you a chance.”

Seeing Li Wen only send out one pet, although he hadn't seen it before, had he not seen enough rare pets?

Even having gone through a war of attrition, he was confident that the Gale Hunting Falcon could handle a single pet without coordination.

But Li Wen's next words not only made his face even darker but also reawakened his lost swagger.

“I understand. You recover first. I'm just squatting nearby because I'm afraid someone else will take your score.”
