Beast Taming Patrol

In the afternoon, Lin Su spent time both studying martial techniques on his own and accompanying Qiuqiu in training.

He planned to attempt the actual use of Guardian Beast Co-operation in Blue Star.

At the moment, having neither supernatural powers nor Yuan-force within his body, Lin Su naturally couldn't perform martial techniques, but this did not hinder him from studying and understanding in advance, preparing to quickly master them upon his return to Blue Star.

The earliest martial techniques originated from the instructional abilities of mythical beasts.

As he researched the two martial techniques he had obtained, Lin Su became increasingly convinced of this theory.

For the practice methods explained within the martial techniques were quite similar to the instructional ways of teaching skills, only that instead of pets, the subjects had now become martial arts experts.

By the end of the afternoon, Lin Su had gained a thorough understanding of the two martial techniques he held; all that was left was to return to Blue Star and try them with Guardian Beast Co-operation.

After dinner, Lin Su finally set off, taking Qiuqiu and the puppet Gui Gui, who was in the middle of channeling the Method of Nurturing, out of the Beast Taming Space to enter the Beast Tamer Tower for today's tower challenge.

If he wanted to bring martial techniques to Blue Star, he needed Gui Gui to transport them with the Pouch of Tricks, so today's Method of Nurturing for Gui Gui was destined to end early.

Since this was the case, Lin Su could not waste today's opportunity to challenge the tower.

Lin Su had deliberately scheduled today's tower challenge for the evening, in order to extend the channeling duration as much as possible.

After quickly passing the fourth floor twice with the combined force of his pets, Lin Su hurried back to the posthouse.

However, he couldn't immediately fall asleep and return to Blue Star.

The final qualification results of the round-robin tournament had been announced, and Mu Yuxing called over Lin Su, who had just returned to the posthouse, to brief him and the other Beast Tamers from Yongnan City who had advanced to the finals on the precautions for the final competition.

As it concerned the finals, Lin Su took it very seriously.

Of the seventy Beast Tamers from Yongnan City, only eight had ultimately advanced to the finals, including five elite-level Beast Tamers, like Lin Su, and three master-level Beast Tamers.

The eight of them stood quietly in front of Mu Yuxing, listening as he started to explain the precautionary measures for the finals.

"You probably already know, the final of the preliminary competition will take place within a mysterious Xuan-grade secret realm," Mu Yuxing glanced at everyone, "The length of the final competition won't be too long, regardless of being master-level or elite-level Beast Tamers, the finals will last four hours each."

Only four hours, indeed not a very long time.

"Although the competition for both master-level and elite-level Beast Tamers will take place in the same secret realm, the competitions will still be conducted separately. Hence, on the day of the finals, the master-level will compete in the morning while the elite-level will compete in the afternoon."

This...

Lin Su blinked and couldn't help asking, "Senior Mu, if it's like this, won't all the resources in the secret realm be taken by the master-level Beast Tamers? Us elite-level Beast Tamers will harvest much less, right?"

Mu Yuxing's expression turned slightly odd, "Normally, within these four hours, you won't have time to search for supernatural resources, so you wouldn't get much anyway…"

"But there indeed is compensation," he coughed lightly, "The two elite-level Beast Tamers who win and secure a place will receive more rewards, as compensation for competing later in the finals. If you don't win, then there's no compensation."

Lin Su nodded in relief.

As long as there was compensation for winning.

Would he lose?

Could he possibly lose?

He was invincible, after all!

"Let's talk about the rules of the competition." Mu Yuxing's expression grew slightly more serious, "The final competition will be an 'all-out elimination' with no specific rules. Upon entering the secret realm, you must immediately do your best to eliminate other competitors. This elimination won't necessarily be one-on-one; it could be many against one, or one against many, as the finals allow for ganging up on competitors."

This...

The Beast Tamers present looked at each other, and aside from Lin Su who appeared fairly calm, the faces of the others were somewhat uneasy.

They were confident when facing Beast Tamers of the same rank.

However, if multiple people ganged up on them, they were bound to be eliminated.

In that moment, a phrase swiftly crossed everyone's minds.

Stick together for warmth!

"It seems you've all thought of it." Noticing the change in expression among the crowd, Mu Yuxing nodded slightly, "Though all of you are competitors, I hope you will stick together after entering the secret realm as much as possible. It is easier to last until the end that way. You all are from Yongnan City, after all. It's best to first unite against outsiders before dealing with each other internally."

Everyone nodded unanimously, even Lin Su did not exempt himself.

With Guardian Beast Co-operation, his strength was substantial, but if ten or eight elite-level pets were to attack him at once, he might not be able to withstand it.

Uniting against outsiders first didn't pose much loss to him.

"Next, let me explain how victory is determined." Mu Yuxing's expression became even more solemn, "There are two ways to win. The first is if within the four hours, only two people remain in the entire secret realm with everyone else eliminated; then these two individuals will be the winners."

"The second is, if at the end of four hours, more than two people are left in the secret realm. At that time, the ranking will be determined by the number of competitors each Beast Tamer has eliminated, with the top two being victorious." His tone paused slightly, "This is also why I urge you to eliminate as many participants as possible."

"If you encounter unfamiliar Beast Tamers, they will attempt to improve their own rankings as much as possible and will sure choose to act against you, so don't be overly optimistic!" Mu Yuxing's voice hardened a bit, "Understood?"

"Understood!" Everyone stood up and replied in unison.

Then, Mu Yuxing went on to encourage everyone before concluding the discussion.

Lin Su returned to his room, deep in thought.

A total of 126 elite-level Beast Tamers had advanced to the finals.

These 126 Beast Tamers must continuously eliminate each other within 4 hours until only 2 remained?

Such competition rules were indeed quite brutal.

He needed to be careful not to capsize unexpectedly.

His brows furrowed slightly.

He wasn't sure if it was just his perception.

When leaving the assembly hall, it seemed like the other four elite-level Beast Tamers exchanged looks but completely ignored him.

Could it be that they had isolated him?

Well, no matter, he just had to be more cautious in the finals.

Both his pets had already been retrieved into the Beast Taming Space, and after hastily washing up, Lin Su lay down still clothed and quickly closed his eyes.

Once back in Blue Star, he would see if martial techniques could indeed be applied in Guardian Beast Co-operation.

If possible...

After taking advantage of the divine martial Beast Tamers, it would be time to take advantage of the martial arts experts.
