73: A D-rank cat demon unwanted by the roadside?

"Each competition zone has a total of 32 teams, which will be divided into 4 groups.

Then, the first place of each group will be taken to conduct the subsequent battle for the first place in the competition zone.

Our luck in the draw wasn't very good; we're in the same group as Lingchuan Academy.

In other words, we'll run into them in the third match..."

When Su Can and Tang Jian heard Lingchuan Academy, they didn't feel good at all.

This damn fate!

They were just discussing it, and now they've run into them.

The point was, both of them had a headache dealing with Cheng Yunhe, let alone Shen Lin.

They really had no confidence at all!

Chief Instructor also rubbed his brow with a headache; this was the biggest reason why he hadn't slept much all night.

At this moment, Tang Jian asked: "Coach, the first-year and second-year competitions must be separate, right?

Then if the first-year loses and the second-year wins, how is the winner determined?"

"Good question!" Chief Instructor turned on the projector and pointed at the items on the screen, saying:

"The competition is conducted on a point system. First place in the group gets 8 points, second place gets 7 points, and so on.

Suppose the second-year wins first place in the group and gets 8 points. The first-year wins fifth place and gets 4 points; the total score would be 12 points.

Finally, the winner is determined by the total points.

So, the focus of the match against Lingchuan Academy might have to be placed on the second-year students.

As for you first-years, you're likely not Lingchuan Academy's match, so we'll strategically forfeit.

Go study other academies, take a second or third place in the group, and maybe we can even make a push for first place!"

Tang Jian and the others were very unwilling, but after some struggle, they had to admit that what Chief Instructor said was the best way.

Chief Instructor understood their internal struggle; they needed time to accept it.

"Alright, next I'll talk about the opponent's approximate strength range and the subsequent deployment arrangements..."

This meeting lasted all the way until two o'clock in the afternoon before ending.

Afterward, Chief Instructor took them to familiarize themselves with tomorrow's competition venue.

To Chen Fei's surprise, the venue for the Tenth Competition Zone was actually the Dueling Arena he went to yesterday.

Due to limited space, the Dueling Arena was temporarily requisitioned.

"Now let's finalize the first-year roster.

First, Tang Jian, Advanced Level 2, main attacker.

Second, Su Can, Advanced Level 2, main attacker.

Third, Shangguan Shihua, Advanced Level 1, main Ice Element.

Fourth, Fang Kexi, Intermediate Level 9, main healer and control.

Fifth..."

For this fifth spot, Chief Instructor hesitated for a long time.

He didn't understand Chen Fei at all; his actual level was still open to debate.

But he was also the fourth person among the current first-year students to achieve a Breakthrough to High-level Beastmaster.

This made Chief Instructor very conflicted; leaving such combat power unused would be somewhat of a waste.

"Fifth, Chen Fei, Advanced Level 1."

In the end, Chief Instructor decided to let Chen Fei play.

The opponent in the first match was relatively weak, so Chief Instructor could take this time to observe Chen Fei.

If it didn't work out, he would be replaced immediately in the second match.

"Alright, for the remaining time, you guys go and build some chemistry.

Especially Chen Fei, you're not familiar with everyone, so you need to work on your coordination even more!"

"Got it, Coach Sun!" Chen Fei nodded in agreement; he would do what needed to be done.

Su Sanhai, who was behind them, nodded with relief.

He had seen long ago that Chief Instructor didn't really like Chen Fei.

But when it came to important matters, Chief Instructor was still very reliable.

If he made a choice that was detrimental to the competition, Su Sanhai would definitely step in to interfere.

This current distribution was quite reasonable.

Now to see what kind of surprises these kids can give... "Chen Fei, I haven't seen your other beast pets yet, how about an introduction."

After Tang Jian finished speaking, the other three looked over curiously.

Chen Fei held up Wu Yun in his arms, "This is one of them."

The four of them looked and looked, but they couldn't identify what species of Yao Beast it was.

It seemed very similar to those D-rank Cat Demons no one wants by the roadside?

Tang Jian scratched his head: "You should just introduce it yourself!"

Chen Fei laughed a few times deep down: It would be a wonder if you could recognize it!

Wu Yun's Disguise Art plus the Hidden Origin Art, a double combination—even a King-level Beast Tamer might not be able to tell.

"It's called Wu Yun, and it possesses the Shadow System, Sand System, and Sonic System. I'm sure it can make up for some of the team's attributes!"

Several people nodded vigorously!

"We don't have Shadow or Sand Systems, so that's perfect."

"What about the other one?"

The other one was Chi Yu, but Chen Fei didn't plan on letting it appear.

Although Chi Yu was an ancient exotic beast, its appearance was too easy to recognize.

Anyone who has done some research on ancient Yao Beasts wouldn't find it hard to identify.

So, he released one of the six S-rank Yao Beasts controlled by the Second Generation Bug from the Sacred Codex Space.

It looked like an ape, with blue-purple fur, especially the fur on its head, which was long and flowing.

Its body was also covered with a layer of Thunder Armor, which had lightning patterns on it.

Coupled with its blue-purple eyes, it looked incredibly handsome.

[Thunder Pupil Ape King

Strength: Tier 3 Level 6

Attributes: Elemental System (including Thunder and Fire elements), Healing System, Transformation System

Aptitude: S

Potential: Expected to be promoted to SSS-Rank Potential.

Skills: ...]

The Transformation System, like the Soul System, was also a relatively rare category.

It included the enlargement and shrinking of the Physical Body, as well as briefly transforming into the appearance of other Yao Beasts.

A quite special category of attributes.

But because the transformation time was short and couldn't be maintained for a long time like the Disguise Art, Chen Fei didn't have Wu Yun use Replication.

As for the Thunder Pupil Ape King's strength, it had always been at Tier 3 Level 6, but Chen Fei used the Hidden Origin Art to hide it.

To outsiders, it only appeared to be at Tier 3 Level 1.

"Not bad, Chen Fei, this Thunder Pupil Ape King of yours has very high Aptitude..."
