209: Another heroine

It was only now that Gu Yan finally understood.

From the very beginning, he had come to the wrong place.

No wonder these competitors were all Beast Taming Grandmasters.

He should have realized it earlier; how could students be this strong?

The current situation, it must be said, was largely the System's fault!

"System, is this what you meant by 'you can trust me'?"

He had gone through immense effort, only to end up as an invigilator. What could he say?

"Ding~ The System occasionally makes mistakes," Ye Tian replied without batting an eye, then continued, "To compensate the Host, the System can heal the Host's injuries for free. Additionally, the loan limit is increased to 15,000 points."

Gu Yan: ...

As for recovering from injuries, given a few hours, the demon blood could achieve that.

As for increasing the loan limit... was this a reward for him, or the System setting itself up?

While Gu Yan was speechless, the injuries on his body were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye!

This recovery situation once again caused many people to exclaim softly.

And the face of the defeated Middle-aged man was even more bitter.

Not only had he lost to a Student, but he couldn't even leave a single injury on the other party.

Such a powerful sword strike, coupled with this incredibly strong self-healing ability, among the younger generation, looking across the nine safe zones and Sky Vault Main City, the Middle-aged man with graying temples couldn't think of anyone who could compare!

Looking at the information he needed to fill out, Gu Yan turned to Zhong Yan and asked, "Can I choose to be a test-taker?"

Zhong Yan lightly shook her head, "You possess the strength of an invigilator. The Ministry of Education will not allow you to bully those students."

How did it become bullying?

Gu Yan found it hard to understand.

Facing the information file in his hand.

He finally picked up the pen and wrote down his information.

The top scholar position was out of his reach; he could only participate in the Beastmaster Exam as a Teacher.

When Gu Yan finished filling out the information and handed it to Zhong Yan.

She, who had always been calm, even when she knew Gu Yan was a Student and only showed a complex expression, showed shock for the first time!

"You are... Gu Yan? Gu Shanhe's son?!"

It wasn't strange that she was so shocked.

The person Gu Yan, in her impression, should have been the heroic boy who died according to the news a few days ago!

"Yes," Gu Yan nodded, acknowledging it.

He wasn't the protagonist, so he didn't need to wear a mask or disguise himself.

"Whoa!"

The dozen or so people next to him, who were also pre-selected invigilators, burst into an uproar.

That the person in front of them was Gu Yan was something they couldn't have imagined.

In their minds.

Even if Gu Yan hadn't died, he absolutely shouldn't have the strength to defeat an Intermediate Beast Tamer Grandmaster!

Seeing the expressions on these people's faces, Gu Yan casually said, "Isn't it normal to hide one's abilities?"

His relaxed words left everyone speechless.

Hiding abilities?

Hiding to this extent, is that called hiding abilities?

Originally, the outside world rumored Gu Yan's strength to be that of a Primary Beast Master, but his true current strength had already climbed to a level comparable to the older generation!

At this moment, in everyone's eyes, Gu Yan had already transformed into a scheming individual.

Only a person with extremely deep scheming could not contend for superficial honors and hide himself so deeply for so many years!

...

Under the complex and emotional gazes of these experts, Gu Yan and the Middle-aged man returned to the rest area.

The second match immediately began.

There were two more competitors on the stage, and the attention of the people around finally shifted away from Gu Yan.

However.

Gu Yan noticed that one woman's attention was still on him.

He turned his head to look.

Their gazes met.

Upon seeing Gu Yan looking over, the woman smiled slightly, then withdrew her gaze.

Gu Yan, however, did not shift his gaze, because in front of him, a System light screen popped up.

This was the System's character introduction panel.

Name: Sun Fentao

Age: 30

Position: One of the female leads

Description: Running a bar alone, she has met Su Wei several times. Their current relationship stage is about to become friends.

Seeing these introductions from the System, Gu Yan understood the meaning behind the woman's peculiar gaze.

He hadn't expected this woman to be a female lead.

"Sun Fentao, Sun Hui's little aunt seems to have this name."

He had some impression of it in his mind.

...

On the stage.

The second match had already begun.

On the field were two men over forty years old.

Between them, although the battle was not as fierce as Gu Yan and the Middle-aged man's.

There was still back and forth.

Of the three contracted beasts they each summoned, at least two had left the infant stage and entered the growth stage!

These were two Intermediate Beast Tamer Grandmasters.

They were also two individuals with rich combat experience.

Gu Yan watched the duel between the two sides, secretly startled.

He was actually quite lucky.

Although his opponent's strength was in the upper middle among the 18 people.

It just so happened that the Heavenly Fire Divine Chicken, in terms of elemental attribute, species classification, quality level, and all aspects, countered the Middle-aged man's three contracted beasts.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Yan was not completely suppressed by the opponent's Realm.

If it were someone else...

"If it were someone else, the Host could also solve it by taking out a loan."

Ye Tian's voice interrupted Gu Yan's thoughts.

Gu Yan thought about it and couldn't refute it.

"Ding~ Given that the Host's strength does not quite match the current identity, does the Host wish to spend 1.5w points to bind the third contracted beast and simultaneously upgrade all three contracted beasts from the infant stage to the growth stage?"

In his mind.

Ye Tian's subsequent words made Gu Yan's body tremble.

Binding the third contracted beast and cultivating all three contracted beasts to the growth stage.

This step was very difficult!

In Gu Yan's opinion, without the System's help, he would even need at least five years!

Now, the System could achieve it in one go!

Although it would cost quite a few points...

But from another perspective, the System was definitely generous.

In fact.

Before this, Ye Tian wouldn't have had the idea of injecting such massive power into Gu Yan, the Host.

After all, that would attract the attention of the worlds will.

The reason for everything.

Lay in him becoming an invigilator for the Beastmaster Exam.

This identity fundamentally elevated Gu Yan's position in this World.

Correspondingly.

From this moment on.

Gu Yan was no longer that minor villain from the early stages.

Under the worlds will's default, he, who greatly threatened the protagonist, already possessed the powerful aura of a major villain!

Unlike the struggling minor villain, it was only natural for a major villain's strength to crush the protagonist.

The reason Ye Tian deliberately guided Gu Yan in this direction was precisely for this.

It could be said he put in a lot of effort, and fortunately, the results were remarkable.

Although Gu Yan was tempted by the System's upgrade package, he didn't immediately agree.

This place was not a good location to accept the System's upgrade.

The battle on the stage was still intense.

The strength of both sides was similar, leading to a stalemate.

When this match ended, Gu Yan looked at the time; it was already getting late.

As the next two matches concluded and the fourth invigilator was determined, Zhong Yan walked out holding a document.

"That's all for today. The remaining ten people have one night to prepare. All invigilators will be determined tomorrow."

Hearing Zhong Yan's announcement, the remaining ten people slightly focused.

They subconsciously looked at their respective opponents.

One night, for them, was not only an opportunity to adjust themselves but also time to study their opponents.
