66: champion!

On the stage, the host, with an excited tone, began to announce the final results.

“Congratulations to Lin Shu, the champion of the 78th Fengdu Hatchling Cup!”

“Let us congratulate him with warm applause!”

Subsequently, an overwhelming roar came from the audience, echoing throughout the arena.

People cheered Lin Shu’s name, their expressions filled with excitement and a hint of madness.

Some stood up, waving their hands vigorously.

The entire venue was cheering with joy; Lin Shu winning this competition was, for the most part, expected.

Bai Sheng and his classmates from Grade One, Class 5 also raised their arms in celebration of Lin Shu’s victory.

At this moment, sparkling golden streamers erupted from above, slowly falling onto the battle stage, landing on Lin Shu and Black Night.

Lin Shu looked up, his eyes enveloped by a golden ocean.

He raised his arms, closed his eyes, a smile on his lips, silently savoring the moment of winning his first championship.

Black Night, beside him, was jumping and leaping, swatting at the continuously falling golden streamers, finding it very amusing.

After a moment of cheering and celebration, it was time for the final award ceremony.

“Let’s invite Bai Yihao, the Vice President of the Fengdu City Beastmaster Association, to present the trophy to Lin Shu!”

The appearance of such a prominent figure once again caused an overwhelming roar of cheers in the venue.

The staff and Bai Yihao, who had been waiting below, came to the stage.

Lin Shu had already heard Bai Sheng mention this award presenter yesterday, so he wasn't surprised... After a simple trophy presentation and a photo and video session for remembrance, the Chu Niao Cup was officially over.

At this moment, Lin Shu and Bai Sheng were heading towards the area where the reward Beastmaster was located.

A perfect quality Beastmaster; he wondered if it could bring him some surprise.

“Oh, right, if I’m not satisfied with this reward Beastmaster, can it be converted into cash for me?”

Hearing Lin Shu’s question, Bai Sheng answered without hesitation.

“Yes, that’s a small matter.”

“Also, for the advanced skill orb, you can choose any one.”

Lin Shu nodded upon hearing this, understanding that White Cloud Arena had put in effort.

The two walked along a wide and bright corridor.

An open area appeared before them, and a small bird with purple markings, about the size of a washbasin, caught Lin Shu’s attention.

The purple bird seemed to have just been born, hopping around on the ground, spreading its wings, but unable to fly.

Its small face was filled with anxiety and helplessness.

【Name】: Purple Bright Bird

【Level】: lv3 (5/30)

【Level Cap】: lv83

【Status】: Anxious

【Quality】: Perfect

【Attribute】: Flight

【Talent】: None

【Skill】: Junior – Ram lv1 (1/20)

Lin Shu glanced at it, and all of the Purple Bright Bird’s attributes were laid bare.

Unfortunately, although it was perfect quality and a flight attribute Beastmaster, which Lin Shu had recently hoped for, it had no Talent, which made it unattractive to Lin Shu.

A good Talent could bring a significant increase in combat power to a Beastmaster.

Bai Sheng looked at Lin Shu’s indifferent expression, knowing that he wasn’t interested.

But his speed was too fast; he stared intently at the Purple Bright Bird but couldn’t discern anything.

Since it didn’t meet his requirements, Lin Shu didn’t wait long and spoke directly.

“This Beastmaster is very good, but unfortunately, it’s not within my consideration.”

After saying this, the two left the area and returned to the VIP room.

“Do you have any advanced skills in mind now?”

“If you do, they can be shipped over now.”

“And they can be distributed along with this month’s endorsement reward.”

Lin Shu currently had no such considerations.

The chosen advanced skill still needed to align with his Beastmaster’s skill system to maximize its value.

And this was also the difference between ordinary Beastmasters and high-tier Beastmasters.

Their Beastmaster skills were all carefully considered and part of a complete system.

Information about these things was very rare online, after all, who would share the skill combinations they painstakingly put together with the public?

Fortunately, Lin Shu was at a loss, but he still had his mentor.

And his mentor also had the same Beastmaster as Lin Shu, so guiding him would be a piece of cake.

With this thought, Lin Shu said.

“Wait, I’ll ask first.”

Immediately, Lin Shu began to ask his mentor on Feixin how to choose.

Bai Sheng saw this and was not in a hurry, waiting quietly.

Fortunately, the mentor was not busy at this time and had free time, immediately replying to Lin Shu’s question.

“I watched your competition, it was quite good, you have some of my level from back in the day.”

“As for choosing advanced skills, it still depends on the direction you choose.”

“Do you want to go for a pure assassin-type route or a semi-assassin-type? The difference between these two is very significant.”

Seeing this, Lin Shu didn’t hesitate and directly typed out the pure assassin-type route.

After all, with a Talent like Void Walk, Black Night’s future path was only one, and that was a pure assassin, without any other impurities.

“Since you already have an idea, then I’m relieved.”

“For a pure assassin build, you can choose these three skills.”

“Night Shadow Rush, Black Night Phantom, Dark Entanglement.”

“The first is a displacement and enhanced offensive skill, the second greatly increases speed, and the third is for marking and tracking enemies, with decent damage as well.”

“Each has its advantages, it’s up to you how to choose.”

Gu Li explained the effects of the three recommended skills to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu began to think; Black Night already had enough offensive skills, so Night Shadow Rush was temporarily out of consideration.

As for speed, it was currently somewhat lacking, and the effect of high-speed movement was not as good as before.

But the functionality of Dark Entanglement also made Lin Shu somewhat tempted; if possible, he wanted all of them.

After thinking for a while, he still decided to choose Black Night Phantom; if an assassin was slow, how could he be an assassin?

“Thank you for your guidance, mentor, I have made my choice.”

He then replied.

“Seeing you hesitate for so long, you must want all of them, right?”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll reward you with one too, how about Dark Entanglement?”

“I just happen to have it on hand, you don’t need to be polite with me.”

The mentor’s words delighted Lin Shu; this was truly wonderful.

“Thank you, mentor!”

He then sent another “hugging the big boss’s thigh” emoji.

This way, it would be perfect.

The mentor also replied with a sunglasses emoji.

“Alright, Wu Song will give you the items tomorrow.”

“That’s all for now, come find me if anything comes up.”

He then immediately went offline.

Lin Shu was used to this and didn’t send any more messages.

Instead, he turned to look at Bai Sheng.

“Then I’ll choose Black Night Phantom.”

“Understood, it will be delivered in a moment.”

Bai Sheng nodded, immediately responding.
