206: I went to the wrong set, and the Skyfire Chicken was hungry.

Military area, a secret room.

"Boom!"

The aura of a Beast Taming Grandmaster instantly swept the surroundings!

Dragon Sky slowly opened his eyes.

"I've become a Beast Taming Grandmaster. I didn't expect to advance further so close to the Beastmaster Exam."

"The top prize in this Beastmaster Exam will definitely be mine."

In his words, there was a strong sense of dominance and confidence.

Indeed, among the young generation today, he had always been far ahead.

It was just that he had always been extremely low-key in the past, and no one knew about it.

Now, he planned to be high-profile for once. He wanted to present his best side to Duanmu Mingyue!

"Congratulations, Young Master Dragon, on reaching the Grandmaster level!"

After Dragon Sky walked out of the secret room, the few subordinates guarding outside couldn't help but exclaim in pleasant surprise.

"Not even 20 years old and already a Beast Taming Grandmaster. With such talent, Young Master Dragon is the number one person in the past few decades!"

"Mm." Dragon Sky nodded, pleased, then turned to his subordinates and asked, "Has anything happened in the past two days?"

"Young Master Dragon, there have indeed been a few major events in the two days you were in seclusion."

A Gaopeng Family guard said with a bit of seriousness, "Gu Yan is dead, and... Su Wei is out of prison."

"Gu Yan is dead? Su Wei is out of prison?"

Hearing these two pieces of news, Dragon Sky's emotions fluctuated slightly: "Su Wei is out of prison but didn't come to see me. It seems he really blames me."

Shaking his head, he didn't think too much about it.

After all, with Su Wei's strength, even if he became an enemy, he was completely insignificant to Dragon Sky.

It was just a bit regrettable.

As for Gu Yan's death... it surprised him quite a bit.

"This is good too. Duanmu Mingyue won't be bound by the engagement anymore."

Coming back to his senses, Dragon Sky looked at his subordinates: "Prepare yourselves. Let's go see Father. There are still two days left. Since I've become a Beast Taming Grandmaster, I can also start contracting that 'Abyssal Tyrant Dragon'."

"Yes!" The few subordinates all responded solemnly.

...

Edge of the Main City.

After several days of sailing, the Sky Vault Main City had already left the airspace above the sea.

The Wu in the edge area had significantly decreased.

"Crack~" The long sword sliced across the neck of a Black Yaotianniu.

Water waves swept past, leaving behind two halves of the Black Yaotianniu's corpse...

Looking at the long sword in his hand, Gu Yan let out a breath: "There's another nick. The lifespan of this sword is also coming to an end."

"Friendly reminder: The Great Accomplishment level of Water Melody Severing Head does not require a sword."

Ye Tian's voice emerged.

Gu Yan was noncommittal.

He took out the quota card Luo Meier had given him a few days ago.

Through this, he could obtain a spot in the Beastmaster Exam...

In reality, now that Dad had broken through to Beast Taming Grandmaster, there were countless people trying to curry favor.

As long as Gu Yan showed up, getting a spot in the Beastmaster Exam would be effortless!

However.

Thinking of how his parents had lowered their stance back then and still no one had promised a spot, Gu Yan decided not to obtain a spot through those Schools anymore.

Even though those Schools would definitely greet him with smiles now, the ugliness hidden beneath their masks couldn't be changed.

Gu Yan's goal was to be the top scorer.

The top scorer belonging to his Gu Family, not the top scorer of a certain School.

Therefore, this competition card in his hand was very necessary!

"The location is the 72nd District, Central Grade A Street..."

After understanding the location, Gu Yan sheathed his long sword and turned to leave the 71st District where he had stayed for quite a few days.

On the streets, there were significantly more vehicles and people compared to a few days ago.

As the Beastmaster Exam approached, this major event concerning all Humans undoubtedly stirred everyone's hearts.

Ye Tian instantly equated this Beastmaster Exam to the Olympics in the real World.

It was the same kind of grand occasion.

The only difference was that in this era of All peopleBeast Master.

The Beastmaster Exam could only be even more popular!

When Gu Yan arrived at his destination, he found it was a huge reception hall.

However, there wasn't a single person, and it looked very deserted.

That's right.

Luo Meier had emphasized how difficult it was to obtain this competition card.

Contestants like him, who were added extra, must be extremely few.

In the empty reception hall, Gu Yan waited for a while, but no one appeared.

He walked towards the interior, feeling puzzled.

Inside this reception hall, there were two passages.

"These should be the passages for obtaining a spot, but which way should I go?"

"Host can go to the right." Ye Tian gave a timely prompt.

"To the right?"

He looked at the two passages; they were pretty similar, and there were no signs.

It was true that there weren't many people like him with extra spots, but not even having a hint or a receptionist was too perfunctory.

Secretly complaining, Gu Yan walked towards the right passage.

Just shortly after Gu Yan left.

From the left passage, a Middle-aged man with a square face, leading a team of young people around eighteen or nineteen years old, left the hall.

Right passage.

After walking for a while, Gu Yan stopped at a slightly noisy room.

There were quite a few people in this room.

Gu Yan's arrival instantly attracted everyone's attention.

A woman wearing large-rimmed glasses was clearly a character like an invigilator here.

When she saw the card in Gu Yan's hand, a hint of surprise rose in her eyes: "Here to compete for a spot?"

"Yes." Gu Yan nodded, his gaze subconsciously looking at the people in the room.

Middle-aged, women, elderly... This looked... like something wasn't right.

"Let's test your level and various data first." The woman said, gesturing for Gu Yan to go to the measuring machine in the room.

Hearing that he needed to be measured, Gu Yan nodded in understanding.

Luo Meier had said back then that coming here did require measuring various data.

It seemed he hadn't come to the wrong place.

Under the gaze of quite a few people in the room.

Gu Yan stepped into the machine.

The level measuring machine didn't need to be complicated; it would give an answer just by releasing one's original level of power.

After just a dozen breaths.

The machine gave the answer.

Level: Junior Beast Grandmaster!

He walked out of the machine.

He originally thought the people around him would burst into exclamations or a series of gasps.

However.

What Gu Yan saw were only some nods of approval.

The next sentence the woman next to him said confused Gu Yan, who was thinking of showing off, even more.

"Junior Beast Grandmaster, contracted two contracted beasts. Although competing for a spot will be tough, you still have a chance."

The woman's voice made Gu Yan lose his confidence.

He was a Beast Taming Grandmaster!

A Beast Taming Grandmaster candidate, did these people not understand what that represented?

Just relying on his level was enough to enter the top fifty ranks of the Beastmaster Exam worldwide!

Here, even competing for a spot was tough?

Was he short-sighted, or had Beast Taming Grandmasters become worthless?

"Get ready, the assessment will start soon."

The woman's gaze swept over the dozen or so people in front of her, lingering for a while longer on Gu Yan's young face.

Afterwards, she left the room.

Gu Yan secretly composed himself and sat down in a resting spot.

Before two or three seconds passed, an Old man next to him leaned over and sat down.

"Young man, are you here to compete for a spot?"

Hearing the voice, Gu Yan glanced at the other person. His wrinkled skin was somewhat dark, his cloudy eyes showed a hint of gray, and he only had three or two yellow teeth, like rusted pickaxes.

Gu Yan twitched his mouth, nodded slightly, and then asked in return: "Old man, could it be... you're also here to compete for a spot?"

"That's right. I've been coming for over ten years straight. This year, I must get a spot!"

"For over ten years straight?" Gu Yan sized up the White-Haired Old Man: "Your age..."

"What do you think? You think I'm old?!" The Old man heard what Gu Yan said and had a slightly angry expression: "I'm only about seventy years old. Those Old men I hang out with all say I'm still a handsome young man!"

"Ah..." Gu Yan was speechless and couldn't retort.

He then looked at the people around him.

Over a dozen people.

Every single one was already quite old...

Had the Sky Vault Main City and the major safety zones changed the System for the Beastmaster Exam early on?

At this age, they could obtain a contestant spot? Or was it the special nature of this competition card that allowed them to ignore age?

Gu Yan felt a strong sense of confusion in his heart.

Without waiting for him to think deeply.

The Middle-aged woman who had left earlier came back, holding a box.

"Since the number of people is confirmed, I will first introduce myself." The woman's wooden-like face was constantly exuding a sense of pressure.

The people in the room also focused their attention on her.

"My name is Zhong Yan, a Grand Beast Taming Master, and I am the chief invigilator for this assessment."

After speaking, the woman placed the box she was holding on a table to the side.

"There are eighteen of you in total, and there are nine spots. We will use a two-on-two duel format to decide who will be the one remaining."

"Two-on-two duels." Gu Yan glanced at the people in the room and undoubtedly felt this rule was simple and brutal.

However.

It also happened to save trouble.

A Middle-aged man with graying temples stepped forward first, reached into the box Zhong Yan had brought, and took out a number plate.

No. 18.

Corresponding to No. 1.

The rest of the people also stepped forward one after another and got their numbers.

When Gu Yan finally got his number, he looked at the Middle-aged man who had gotten the first number plate with some surprise.

He was No. 1.

"Young man, you're quite unlucky."

Next to him, the Old man looked at Gu Yan's number plate and clicked his tongue, shaking his head.

"Oh? How so unlucky?"

"The fellow you're up against, his level is one minor step higher than yours. You should know the difference within one minor step of a Beast Taming Grandmaster, right?" The Old man's face was full of expressions of not being optimistic.

Gu Yan was also stunned.

Was he really competing for a spot in the Beastmaster Exam?

The age of these competitors was one thing.

Their levels were actually this high!

"System, you said to come through this right passage. Am I really not on the wrong set?"

It wasn't surprising that Gu Yan would ask this.

In previous Beastmaster Exams, generally speaking.

The strength of the top scorer was only close to that of a Beast Taming Grandmaster.

The stronger ones were those who had truly entered the Beast Taming Grandmaster level.

And right now...

They were telling him that the other person was an Intermediate Beast Tamer Grandmaster!

"Ding~ Host can choose to trust the System 100%."

"Is it correct?" Always feeling something was off, Gu Yan could only place the blame on Luo Meier, who gave him the competition card.

It seemed Luo Meier had tricked him.

But he couldn't pinpoint what the problem was.

These people were indeed all saying they were competing for a spot.

The location was right, the competition card was right, logically it shouldn't be wrong!

He stopped thinking about it.

Since his opponent was now determined, all he had to do was defeat him!

As long as he got a spot, let these abnormalities be abnormal.

After the drawing ended.

Zhong Yan led the group of 18 people to a not-so-small Yanwu Arena.

This was clearly a place specifically for duels and competitions.

The first match of the duel was Gu Yan against that Middle-aged A Man.

No. 1, against No. 18.

The two stood on opposite sides of the Yanwu Arena.

Gu Yan's expression was very calm, but his heart was already serious.

In contrast, the other party was genuinely relaxed.

"Friend, this spot is very important to me, so I won't hold back."

As the Middle-aged man spoke, he smiled casually and slowly opened his beast-taming space.

Then, three contracted beasts emerged one by one!

Two-Headed Grasshopper (C+), Emerald Vine Spider (B), Sandalwood Centipede (B+).

Although these three contracted beasts were all in their growth stage, the auras they emitted were absolutely powerful!

"As expected, he's an Intermediate Beast Tamer Grandmaster." For a moment, Gu Yan felt quite a bit of pressure.

He had no previous experience dealing with experts of this level; now he could only give it a try!

He was just about to summon the Super Nut Hamster.

Gu Yan suddenly paused.

He discovered that the turkey in his beast-taming space was stirring!

"You want to come out?"

"Cluck cluck cluck..." The Heavenly Fire Divine Chicken responded.

Gu Yan understood the general meaning of this chicken.

"You found those three contracted beasts outside, are you hungry?"
