Beast Taming Patrol

As for Qiuqiu...

That was really hard to say.

...

"Lin Su wins!"

With the referee's loud call, a long spear that had burst forth in the arena hung suspended in mid-air.

Lin Su slowly retracted his spear, looking at the Beast Tamer in front of him who did not look happy, his face still marred with the patterns of Dark Poison, and smiled slightly, "Thank you for the match."

The intensity of the battle was evident all around the fighting arena, with shards of ice and broken rocks scattered everywhere.

Time flew by, and ten days had passed.

This battle was Lin Su's last match in the round-robin tournament.

His opponent this time was the strongest among the other four in their group, excluding himself and Ji Chuheng.

The opponent's two guardian beasts were both high-level sovereign species of the earth type and possessed over a dozen Talent Skills. Almost all their Talent Skills and combat skills had reached Tier III, and because they were of the same type, not only did they cooperate extremely well, they also had the energy to protect their Beast Tamer.

As a result, Lin Su, in order to win, had used his last trump card, Qiuqiu's Snow Explosion.

After this round of confrontation between the two Beast Tamers who each had three wins, Lin Su's record changed to four wins, while his opponent remained forever at three wins.

Although there was still one match left in the round-robin, the outcome was already locked in advance.

Lin Su, with four wins and one loss, and Ji Chuheng with five straight wins, were the highest-scoring contestants in their group, advancing to the finals.

"Meow! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ" (We advanced!)

"Caw! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)" (Ready for the finals!)

Both guardian beasts were also significantly drained in this battle, but fortunately, they were not injured. Apart from being covered in dirt from the earth type skills, all was well.

After handing two bottles of energy liquid to his guardian beasts to help them recover their strength, Lin Su left the fighting arena with a relaxed smile on his face with Qiuqiu and Qiuqiu. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Outside the arena, two unexpected figures appeared.

"Lin Ye, what are you doing here?" Lin Su smiled and quickly went up to them, nodding to Yun Zhenzhen, who was pulling a face to the side.

He was somewhat puzzled.

Lin Ye was his cousin, and it was reasonable for him to come and see his match.

But why did Yun Zhenzhen come?

"Su Bro! Congratulations, you've advanced to the finals, right?" Lin Ye laughed heartily, "I heard you say today was the last round of the round-robin, so naturally I had to come and see."

He glanced at Yun Zhenzhen beside him, coughed slightly, and couldn't help shrinking his head, "I ran into Zhenzhen on the way, and then I mentioned your last round-robin match and invited her to come along."

Lin Su suddenly understood.

"Congratulations." Yun Zhenzhen spoke indifferently, then turned to leave as if she had lost interest in staying there after seeing Lin Su's advancement.

"Thank you." Lin Su smiled, accustomed to Yun Zhenzhen's personality, "Good luck in your repechage!"

"It's a piece of cake." Her voice faded away as she disappeared in a flash.

Lin Ye couldn't help winking after Yun Zhenzhen left and felt much more relaxed.

"Sigh!" He couldn't help sighing, "If only I had Zhenzhen's strength, I wouldn't have to worry so much about the repechage."

"What, your repechage opponent is that tough?" Lin Su couldn't help but show concern.

"The luck is okay, there are no demons from the second level of Nayuan Realm." Lin Ye shook his head, "But in the repechage, everyone who remains is no pushover."

Lin Su nodded in agreement.

Because there were many more martial artists than Beast Tamers participating, all martial artists competed together without being split into elite and master levels like the Beast Tamers, hence the preliminary selection took a bit longer and the rules were quite different than those for Beast Tamers.

Now, the repechage for martial artists had just begun.

Lin Ye had complained about it once before.

Nowadays, in the repechage, almost everyone was from the Nayuan Realm, with only a few lucky ones from the Meridian Opening Realm still around, and they definitely had no chance of making it to the finals.

Lin Ye, although just firmly at the first level of Nayuan Realm, had managed to stay in the middle among these martial artists due to the Lin Family's heritage in martial skills, meaning even stepping into the finals was not guaranteed, not to mention securing a final spot.

"Let's not talk about this." Lin Ye decisively changed the subject, unwilling to dwell on the depressing topic, "When coming here, Dad asked me to pass a message — to come back to the family villa for a big meal at noon and celebrate your entry into the finals."

"Uncle has that much faith in me?" Lin Su was dumbfounded, "When he sent the message, hadn't I still not started the last match? Wasn't he afraid I might lose?"

"If you had lost, it would have been to comfort you for getting eliminated!" Lin Ye winked, "Would that have delayed the big meal?"

"That really wouldn't have delayed it." Lin Su said seriously after a moment's thought, looking at the expectant faces of Qiuqiu and Qiuqiu, he smiled, "It's almost noon, let's hurry up and go!"

...

After enjoying a lavish lunch at the Lin Family's villa, Lin Su took his two guardian beasts back to the station and spent time meditating while accompanying them in their daily training.

The second Space Heart that his father had managed to obtain for him had already been completely consumed and shattered during the previous meditation.

Even in the capital, with the Grand Tournament of Nations just a few months away, getting another Space Heart was no easy feat, so now Lin Su could only proceed with ordinary meditation for his training, which was much slower but still better than nothing.
