127: Legend level assessment
Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a bit angry. "Dihun, that's enough!"
"You can't rely entirely on spiritual plants and immortal herbs for leveling up. You and Junlin need to practice your skills first.
Once you both reach the late stage of Mature Rank 6, I will give you Huanpo Lotus to eat."
Yinglong lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then replied meekly, "Mm, okay."
But Hou didn't buy it and impatiently continued to demand Huanpo Lotus from Gu Xiaoyue.
"Woman, that system of yours gave you 8 Huanpo Lotuses, and you can't even spare one for me?
Once I eat enough to reach Mature Rank 7, I won't be able to use them anymore. There's plenty of time to practice skills later!"
"No! Go practice your skills!"
Gu Xiaoyue was so angry her teeth ached; she itched to give Hou a good thrashing!
Seeing that Gu Xiaoyue was adamant and refused to give him another Huanpo Lotus, Hou began to make a scene in the Yu Beast Space.
He scorched a patch of grass on the left and burned down a patch of forest on the right.
"Xiao Lv, whip him for me!"
Gu Xiaoyue was annoyed by his tantrum and ordered Xiao Lv to whip Hou.
However, Xiao Lv's rank and level were both inferior to Hou's, so it shook its body, indicating it didn't dare.
"Woman, haven't you figured it out yet?
If you want to be strong, just focus on arranging things for me and Yinglong properly. The other pet beasts are useless!"
Hou crossed his arms, looking unrestrained and arrogant.
Gu Xiaoyue clenched her fists and bit her lip. Was she really going to be manipulated by her own contracted pet beast?
In the Yu Beast Space, Hou continued to clamor, "Hurry up and give me the Huanpo Lotus!"
Just as Gu Xiaoyue was thinking about how to deal with him, she saw Xiao Qi grab Xiao Lv and proceed to whip Hou!
"You! How dare you hit me!"
He couldn't believe that this Heavenly Immortal mid-grade pet beast in front of him actually dared to hit him!
"So what if I hit you? I am Xiao Yue's companion beast, you are just a contracted pet beast!
Even if my grade is a bit lower than yours, your status is not as high as mine!
Do you even dare to think about rebelling against our master?"
Hou fell silent. He had been sealed in the Heavenly Flames for ten thousand years and had only just been released with great difficulty.
He certainly didn't want to turn back into a pet beast egg!
"Fine, fine! I'll go practice my skills!"
Hou agreed with some frustration and obediently went to practice his skills.
As soon as Xiao Qi let go, Xiao Lv scurried away quickly; it was scared to death!
Seeing that the Yu Beast Space had returned to a harmonious state, Gu Xiaoyue finally relaxed.
She took a Huanpo Lotus and gave it to Xiao Jiu to eat, as she had promised him before.
Xiao Jiu ate it with a smile, then fell into a deep sleep to absorb the energy.
A week later, Gu Xiaoyue finally received a call from Qin Shao.
From the time she made the appointment until the time was set, a full month had passed.
Qin Shao explained that there were very few people taking the Legendary Beastmaster assessment, and even when combined with assessments of other ranks, at least ten people were needed.
Gu Xiaoyue understood. She, along with Chu Li, Ye Wanrou, and Chen Yixuan, arrived at the Beastmaster Association early in the morning.
Chu Li's pet beast level wasn't high enough, so he was simply accompanying Gu Xiaoyue to take the assessment.
Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan had to pass the Intermediate theory exam first, so Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li went to the basement to fill out their information first.
The Quasi-Legendary practical assessment involved two Mature Rank 6 fierce beasts, while the Legendary practical assessment involved three Mature Rank 7 fierce beasts.
Gu Xiaoyue's battle pet beasts were Xiao Qi and Yinglong.
In the information column on the form, she wrote: Qilin — Mature Rank 7 Mid-stage, Junlin — Mature Rank 6 Early-stage.
Because they were private pet beasts, it was acceptable that she didn't want to provide specific information.
Additionally, Gu Xiaoyue had told Qin Shao from the beginning that the video of her Beastmaster assessment must be sealed and not leaked for others to see!
Qin Shao told her not to worry; even if Gu Xiaoyue hadn't asked, she would have arranged it.
Gu Xiaoyue finished filling out the information and sat in the waiting area.
Chu Li sat beside her, scrolling through data on his brain, ordering his subordinates to collect Golden Herbs for him.
Seeing that Xiao Yue had signed up for the Legendary rank assessment while he didn't even have the qualifications for the Quasi-Legendary one, how could he not be anxious!
A slightly chubby man wearing black-rimmed glasses tried to strike up a conversation with Gu Xiaoyue.
"Beautiful, I see you're still a student, right? Are you here for the Intermediate Beastmaster assessment? You answered the written test quite quickly!"
Gu Xiaoyue gave him a faint smile. "I am here to take the Legendary rank assessment."
The man pushed up his glasses, looking surprised. "Oh my, that's incredible! You look like you're twenty, I didn't expect you to be older than that!"
Gu Xiaoyue's mouth twitched. "I haven't even had my twentieth birthday yet."
The man was even more surprised, shaking his head like a rattle-drum. "Students these days, not studying properly, just being ambitious and unrealistic every single day!
Do you even have the strength to take the Legendary rank assessment? You're just wasting time!"
Chu Li was unhappy hearing this and snapped back at the man, "We can sign up for whatever rank we want, does it have anything to do with you?
Do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy?
You might not even pass yourself, so why are you bothering others? Are you tired? Did you eat too much or something?"
Gu Xiaoyue waved her hand at Chu Li, meaning there was no need to argue with such a person.
After waiting for a while, Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan came down as well.
Seeing Ye Wanrou's nervous expression, everyone knew she had almost failed again.
"Ye Wanrou, Yixuan, come fill out your forms."
Gu Xiaoyue handed them the prepared forms.
"Xiao Yue, you scared me to death! I was only 2 points away!
What am I going to do about the Advanced theory assessment?
I feel like even if I shed two layers of skin, I still might not pass!"
Ye Wanrou muttered as she took the form from Gu Xiaoyue.
The man nearby heard this and looked them over. "That's what students should look like!
Some young girls, so young, yet so unrealistic and fond of bragging—that won't do!"
Chu Li heard this and wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Gu Xiaoyue.
"Let him say whatever he wants. He's in his thirties and still hasn't passed the Master Beastmaster assessment; it's normal for him to be bitter."
Gu Xiaoyue had just caught a glimpse of the man filling out his form; he was here to take the Master rank assessment.
Chu Li snorted at the man and ignored him.
The participants for the assessment today included twenty Intermediate, ten Master, and ten Legendary rank candidates.
Gu Xiaoyue was ranked quite early.
Everyone's information was entered into the brain, and the staff began calling names.
"Gu Xiaoyue, over here."
"Here!"
Gu Xiaoyue walked up to the fierce beast simulator. The staff member looked her over and sighed, "So young. Take the remote control, and if you can't handle it, come out."
Gu Xiaoyue nodded and walked into the fierce beast simulator.
Less than twenty seconds later, she walked out.
Chu Li and Ye Wanrou stepped forward and asked, "What happened, Xiao Yue?"
The staff member also looked puzzled.
The man with black-rimmed glasses clicked his tongue and went into mockery mode. "I told you she was bragging! She came out in half a minute!
She should just start from the lowest rank assessment; who knows if she even passed the Advanced assessment!"
Gu Xiaoyue said only one sentence, which made the man with black-rimmed glasses flush bright red, shouting, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
