Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel

Inside Villa No. 2 of the Magic Metropolis Academy, in the hall.

This place serves as the residence for the freshman team. Although Ye Mo has always been accustomed to living in the villa next door, he also has a room here, after all, he is also a member of the freshman team.

"The opening test of the Freshman Competition is this afternoon. The test content is the same as this morning, except that the obsidian obelisk used for the test will be smaller, which can accurately measure the strength of Tier 3 spirit pets."

Yan Yelin looked at the five members of the freshman team in front of him and said kindly, "You have also seen the test of the Academy Grand Competition this morning. Ye Mo even participated in it, so at that time, you can just go all out like those academy members."

Beside the coffee table, Bai Tingting, who was eating fruit, quickly chewed when she heard this. After swallowing a mouthful, she quickly raised her head and asked curiously, "Teacher, but our Freshman Competition is an individual battle? If we expose our most powerful trump card during the test, wouldn't we suffer when we fight later."

Wang Ruolong, Sun Guanyu, and Yi Ranran all felt that this made sense when they heard this, and immediately turned their attention to the teacher.

At this moment, Ye Mo was leisurely lying on the sofa, dozing off. The release of the Beastmaster skill Star Chart Liberation in the morning consumed a lot of his energy, so he had to take it easy if he could.

The others also knew this, so they specially left a sofa for him to lie down alone.

"The spirit energy test is to test the power of your spirit pet's skills. Asking you to go all out is just to let your spirit pet release the most powerful attack. Under this circumstance, not much information is actually exposed."

After Yan Yelin finished speaking, he shook his head and looked at Bai Tingting and the others, and then continued, "You must understand that in the end, the Freshman Competition still depends on your specific strength."

"Let me put it this way, among you, Wang Ruolong and Yi Ranran, you are still at Tier 3. It would be very good if you can enter the top 32 in this Freshman Competition. As for Bai Tingting and Sun Guanyu, your spirit pets have broken through to Tier 4, but according to the current information, the possibility of entering the top 16 is very high, but it is hard to say after that."

"So, if you want to go further in this Freshman Competition, you better get good results in the spirit energy test."

After a pause, Yan Yelin's tone became more serious, "You also know that the test of the Freshman Competition is the same as the test of the Academy Grand Competition. The spirit energy test results also determine the opponent in the next game, so only with high test scores can you meet weaker opponents in the first round."

"In this way, your chances of winning the next battle will be higher, and the battle time will be shorter."

His words were all reasonable. Compared with the test results of the Academy Grand Competition, the test results of the Freshman Competition are relatively more important, because it determines not only the strength of the next opponent, but also the strength of the opponents afterwards.

Because after the battle of 64 into 32 ends, the subsequent battles are ranked according to the end time of the game, that is, the one with the shortest winning time will fight against the one with the longest winning time.

In this case, if you can meet a weaker opponent in the first battle, you can naturally end the battle faster, and so on, so as to obtain higher scores.

After hearing these words, Bai Tingting, Wang Ruolong, and others seemed to be lost in thought, while Sun Guanyu pondered for a moment before directly asking, "Teacher, then do I need to release Star Chart Liberation?"

As the strongest trump card of a Tier 4 Grandmaster Beastmaster, if Star Chart Liberation is released in the spirit pet test, it is almost equivalent to revealing most of his trump cards.

Although the teacher said to try to get good results in the test as much as possible, as the only two geniuses in this year's freshman class of Magic Metropolis Academy who have Tier 4 spirit pets upon entering the school, and the only one in the current freshman team besides Ye Mo who has broken through level 40 in Beastmaster level, he is still very confident that he can get good results in the test even without exposing his trump cards.

Star Chart Liberation! Bai Tingting, Wang Ruolong, and Yi Ranran, who were listening to these words, all showed a trace of envy, especially Bai Tingting. As someone who also has a Tier 4 spirit pet, her Beastmaster level has been stuck at level 39 and has been unable to break through for a long time.

In the end, the talent of the Seven Star Chart is still significantly different compared to the Eight Star Chart.

As for Ye Mo, he is a monster beyond comparison. Bai Tingting didn't even have the idea of comparing with him, after all, only when the gap is not too big, will there be envy and jealousy, but if the gap is too big, then you can only look up to him.

"Yes." Facing Sun Guanyu's question, Yan Yelin thought for a while before answering, "According to the information, there are as many as thirteen contestants with Tier 4 spirit pets in this Freshman Competition, including the three of you."

"And if you count the hidden ones, or those who have recently broken through, the number of contestants with Tier 4 spirit pets may exceed sixteen."

"In this case, you do have a lot of opponents, so you can indeed consider not using Star Chart Liberation, but how to think about it in the end still depends on yourself."

"I have also said the pros and cons, and I also know your strength. I am still very relieved about the battle of 64 into 32. You decide for yourself."

After saying these words, Yan Yelin turned his attention to Bai Tingting and the other two, earnestly instructed them, and then continued to talk about a lot of things about the Freshman Competition.

Speaking of this, as if remembering something, Yan Yelin continued, "By the way, Ye Mo, because of your performance this morning, someone from the competition specifically told me that although you have to go to the battle hall this afternoon, you don't need to summon spirit pets for testing like other people."

"After all, you have already participated in the test this morning, so you can just go through the motions at that time, and the results will still be calculated according to your morning results."

Hearing this, Ye Mo opened his eyes and looked at the teacher, nodding lightly.

If this is the case, then it is indeed a lot easier, after all, he has not recovered from the consumption of releasing Star Chart Liberation this morning.

But then again, this is nothing to him, after all, he still has two spirit pets. With the strength of Bai Ling and Isaac, no matter which one plays, the results will not be too bad.

… … … … … …

Afternoon, Ancient Capital No. 1 Battle Hall.

After experiencing the spirit energy test of the Academy Grand Competition in the morning, the battle hall is still a scene of bustling crowds and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Under the sunlight, the entire venue is bright and transparent, and the audience seats are even more packed with students, parents, and children, with excitement and anticipation on their faces.

Inside the arena, numerous security personnel were arranged to maintain order. Among them were many young figures, easily identifiable as being of school age. It was easy to guess that these individuals were students from the Ancient Capital Academy.

At the center of the battle arena, a black obsidian obelisk, smaller than the one used in the morning, stood majestically. The patterns on its surface shimmered with a mysterious light under the illumination, as if waiting to be ignited.

A tense yet excited atmosphere permeated the air, with occasional whispers drifting from the spectator stands.

“This is the Freshman Competition! It's a rare event, held only every few years. And this time, it's being held right here in our Ancient Capital. We're so lucky!”

“It's said that the Freshman Competition is only held when a generation of freshmen produces enough strong and numerous geniuses. I wonder what kind of genius Beast Tamers will emerge in this year's competition.”

“Genius Beast Tamers? If you ask me, that Ye Mo from the Shanghai Capital Academy this morning was a genius. He broke the academy's Grand Competition test record, scoring a perfect score. There's only been one like him in decades.”

“This is the Freshman Competition, not the academy's Grand Competition. Why are you talking about that? But now that you mention it, it does make me look forward to the upcoming Grand Competition.”

“What's so interesting about the Grand Competition? Their strength is too high. Last time, my eyes almost blurred watching it. Without commentary, most of the time, I didn't even know what was happening. If you ask me, the Freshman Competition is definitely more interesting. Although the strength is weaker, it's easier to see what's going on.”

“Heh, if you can't see clearly during the Grand Competition, the Freshman Competition will probably be about the same. After all, the battle level in the Freshman Competition can also reach the Fourth Rank.”

“What? Fourth Rank? Don't mess with me. Aren't they all just freshmen who just enrolled? They've only awakened their Star Charts for a year, right? How could they be so strong?”

“I've specifically looked into previous Freshman Competitions. Don't even mention Fourth Rank combat power, even Fourth Rank spirit pets and Fourth Rank Beast Tamers have been seen quite a few times in the past.”

“Hiss… Is this what it means to be a genius? My Star Chart has been stuck at the Second Rank for over ten years. I really have nothing to say.”

Just then, the arena suddenly darkened. Even though the sun was still high in the sky, the light it cast seemed to be swallowed up.

But quickly, the light converged on the platform at the center of the arena. At this moment, a middle-aged man in a deep blue robe slowly walked onto the stage. His face was stern, and his eyes were piercing. He was none other than the Principal of the Ancient Capital Academy—Qin Yue.

As a King-ranked Sixth Rank Beast Tamer, although not very old, his reputation was well-known throughout the entire Ancient Capital.

For example, during the Ghost Mist Disaster in Ancient Capital ten years ago, when the other strong individuals in Ancient Capital were trapped, it was he who single-handedly stopped thousands of ghost spirits, buying enough time for others to escape, thus successfully protecting Ancient Capital.

Apart from this, whenever major events endangering the area around Ancient Capital have occurred in the past fifteen years, his figure has always appeared to suppress them. It is precisely because of this that he has gained a reputation in Ancient Capital higher than even legends, despite only being at the Sixth Rank.

“Distinguished guests, fellow students, welcome to the opening test of the Flame Brilliance Alliance Freshman Competition.” Qin Yue's voice, amplified by his mental power, spread throughout the entire arena, his tone deep and powerful.

The spectator stands instantly quieted down, with everyone's eyes focused on Qin Yue.

At this moment, Ye Mo, Bai Tingting, and the others in the resting area below the arena also turned their heads to look.

“Is that a skill or mental power control?” Ye Mo thought to himself, unconsciously looking over. He had been thinking about other things, but as soon as the other person spoke, he was completely drawn in.

If his mental power hadn't also begun to transform and sublimate, he probably wouldn't have even noticed it.

Next, Qin Yue, who was on the platform, began to deliver his opening speech for the competition. Although the content was cliché and not much different from the speeches given by leaders when Ye Mo was in junior high and high school, he listened extremely attentively and felt extremely touched.

Finally, Qin Yue's gaze swept across the entire venue, paused slightly, and then raised his voice: “Now, I announce—the Freshman Competition opening test officially begins!”

As Qin Yue's voice fell, the light gathered on the platform instantly dissipated, and the sunlight in the sky was finally able to shine down, instantly brightening the previously dim environment.

At the same time, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the spectator stands, and the atmosphere immediately reached a climax.

“It's finally starting!” a child shouted excitedly.

“I wonder who will be the first to go on stage? Which academy will it be?” a mother asked curiously, while beside her, a young boy who had just started school stood on his seat, looking around curiously.

Just then, the referee's voice spread throughout the arena through spiritual power: “The first tester, Ye Mo from Shanghai Capital Academy, please come on stage!”

As soon as the words were spoken, many spectators in the stands were stunned, and didn't react for a moment.

A moment later, a commotion instantly broke out in the spectator stands.

“Ye Mo? Could it be the Ye Mo from this morning?”

“The one from this morning was so strong, how could he be a freshman!”

“Shanghai Capital Academy, that's right. The record-breaking Ye Mo from this morning was also from Shanghai Capital Academy. It's impossible that Shanghai Capital Academy sent two Ye Mos this time, right?”

“Could it be the same name? But the probability is too low, right?”

Amidst the exclamations and doubts, under the gaze of everyone, a young man walked out from the arena and slowly walked towards the testing platform.

And when people saw the appearance of the young man, the entire arena immediately erupted.

“It really is the Ye Mo from this morning! I still remember what he looks like.”

“How can there be such a genius? This is too outrageous.”

“What's the situation? Who is that person on stage? Why is everyone so excited?”

“Didn't you watch this morning? He was the first place in the academy's Grand Competition test this morning.”

“Ah? What!”

Amidst countless gazes of excitement, shock, or disbelief, Ye Mo walked briskly and soon stepped onto the platform, arriving in front of the black obsidian obelisk.

He glanced at the excited audience in the stands, his expression calm and emotionless.

As someone who had already been in this position for the second time, he was already used to it.

The black obsidian obelisk next to him was different from before, but after looking at it a few more times, he lost interest, because it was indeed exactly as the teacher had said, just a simplified and smaller version of the testing obelisk from the morning.

After gently exhaling, Ye Mo stood calmly in place, quietly waiting for the referee's words.
