109: Group stage results

The matches on the second day were still not much different from yesterday's.

Liu Yiyi wasn't as lucky today; she lost to the number two seed from Vermilion Bird Beast Taming University.

However, she successfully advanced with a second-place finish in the group stage. The second-place contender from White Tiger Beast Taming University in the same group was actually the true second-place in terms of strength in this group.

But ultimately, because the match he lost to Liu Yiyi on the first day due to excessive exhaustion left him in third place, he was regretfully eliminated.

The situation in the second group was also clear; Kuang Yi and the number one seed from Vermilion Bird Beast Taming University advanced together.

As for who was first and who was second, they must have negotiated a result during that exceptionally flashy exhibition match.

In the end, Kuang Yi advanced in first place, while the opponent took second.

The competition in the third group was exceptionally fierce. Between the number one seeds from White Tiger Beast Taming University and Black Tortoise Beast Taming University, plus the number six seed from Imperial Capital Beast Taming University, one of the three was bound to be eliminated.

After a period of intense competition, the number six seed from Imperial Capital Beast Taming University was eliminated.

Although the strength of Imperial Capital Beast Taming University was higher than the other four schools, a student ranked sixth was still slightly short of surpassing the number one seeds from other schools.

Among the two who advanced, Luo Xingyu from White Tiger Beast Taming University took first, and the number one seed from Black Tortoise Beast Taming University took second.

The fourth group was the most complex. Jiang Jianbin, who had performed heroically yesterday, was seen through; the reason he could win two matches in a row was due to his own physical strength.

Therefore, everyone chose to avoid close combat with him, opting for long-range attrition instead.

After his winning streak on the first day, he ended up with two consecutive losses on the second day.

Ultimately, the first place was taken by the number four seed from Black Tortoise Beast Taming University; he had a beast combination of one platinum and two gold, and they were all above level forty.

He advanced with an indisputable four-game winning streak.

Fortunately, Jiang Jianbin was not directly eliminated in the end. Because there was a situation where two people both had two wins and two losses, a tie-breaker match was held.

During the short break, Jiang Jianbin listened to the guidance of Liu Yiyi, who was also skilled in long-range attrition.

Facing the opponent's identical tactics, he chose to ignore his own injuries, covering his entire body with beast taming armor and charging forward while protecting his head.

Finally, despite being heavily injured, he successfully reached the opponent and ended the battle with a single punch.

Jiang Jianbin won a pyrrhic victory and successfully advanced as the second-place finisher in the group.

Finally, there was the fifth group where Su Ze was. Relying on his high beast level of forty-eight, Su Ze successfully advanced in first place, having only revealed a single beast, the Void Spirit Turtle.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ying, who could have advanced in second place based on his strength, was heavily injured by a relentless Su Ze during the first day's battle.

In the end, not only did he fail to advance, but he suffered consecutive defeats and was miserably eliminated with a last-place finish.

However, this couldn't be entirely blamed on Su Ze. After all, the Full Return ability reflects all the power the opponent strikes with back at them.

If Jiang Ying hadn't struck with lethal intent, aiming to heavily injure or even kill Su Ze, he wouldn't have been so severely injured by the reflection of his own power.

The person who advanced in second place was the number four seed from Vermilion Bird Beast Taming University, who also won through a tie-breaker.

The person he eliminated in the tie-breaker was none other than Shen Kui from White Tiger Beast Taming University.

With this, the ten people advancing from the group stage were all finalized.

Among them, Azure Dragon Beast Taming University performed the best, with four out of five people advancing, and Kuang Yi and Su Ze even advancing as group leaders.

Next was Vermilion Bird Beast Taming University, where the number one, two, and four seeds all advanced.

Among them, the number two seed was the first-place finisher of the first group.

After that was Black Tortoise University, where the number one and number four seeds advanced together.

The number four seed was also the first-place finisher of the fourth group.

Then there was White Tiger Beast Taming University, with only one person advancing—Luo Xingyu was their final glory.

However, her strength was indeed formidable. She took first place in the third group surrounded by strong enemies, and it seemed she hadn't even exerted her full strength.

This was also a point of pride for White Tiger Beast Taming University; no wonder their Principal, Liu Yao, didn't panic at all even when only one person remained.

The most miserable was Imperial Capital Beast Taming University, as not a single person broke through the group stage.

However, because they were only the sixth to tenth seeds of Imperial Capital Beast Taming University, such a result was understandable.

But this also indirectly showed that the strength gap between the other four universities and Imperial Capital Beast Taming University was not that large.

Perhaps in the next Beast Taming Grand Competition ten years from now, it should be considered whether Imperial Capital Beast Taming University should be given as many as ten slots.

Furthermore, allowing the top five seeds to enter the Elimination Rounds directly had also caused some controversy.

Ultimately, a certain degree of rewards was given based on the performance of each school.

The most important of these was that over the next ten years, the country's beast taming cultivation resources would be tilted towards the best-performing Azure Dragon Beast Taming University.

But this was a reward at the school level. As for the students' individual rewards, they hadn't been issued yet and would need to wait until the Elimination Rounds ended and all rankings were determined.

For now, only those students who had already been eliminated could receive a consolation prize.

Next, all students would have a half-month break.

During this half-month, they would receive an unlimited supply of cultivation resources.

To help them improve their strength as much as possible and maintain their condition.

This was also why everyone wanted to participate in the Beast Taming Grand Competition: a full half-month of unlimited resource cultivation.

This was something unimaginable for ordinary Beast Tamers and those from small families.

Even within the Four Great Families, only those with outstanding talent being groomed as family successors could enjoy this level of cultivation resources.

For Su Ze, it was an even more unimaginable opportunity. Perhaps due to the overlapping of souls from two lifetimes, his Spiritual Power cultivation speed far exceeded others.

This was also why he could rapidly advance with the help of the feedback from absorbing contracts and the power of the quenching thought bead.

Ordinary people simply couldn't match his speed of absorption and refinement.

Now, with an unlimited supply of cultivation resources, he was even confident in breaking through the level fifty threshold within just half a month.

One should know that crossing level fifty qualifies one to be called a high-level Beast Tamer... Due to the two tie-breaker matches and the final award ceremony, it was already late at night by the time everything finally ended and they could return.

But after hearing the good news about the unlimited supply of cultivation resources, Su Ze appeared to be in a pleasant mood and full of energy.

But at the same time, far away in Beishan City, Sun Hao was deeply pained by the words of the colleague before him.

"You... how could you do something like betraying Captain Guo?!"
