Chapter 118 - Ancient Capital University Resource Bank (1/2)

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

In the huge airship space, the sixteen people stood on the ground and observed each other.

Among them, Shi Yu had only seen Yu Shu and Yin Zhengfan previously.

Shi Yu didn’t know the others.

However, judging from the cleanliness of their clothes and their full spirits, they were definitely the best in this assessment.

Those who could ensure such a state in the field survival for three days were definitely very strong.

Among the sixteen people present, there were twelve men and four women. The ratio was about the same as the male and female participants in the vocation assessment. Shi Yu’s gaze took note of the four girls. After all, who would look at rough men…

Although that was the case, apart from Shi Yu looking at the girls, most of the candidates were still observing Yin Zhengfan, who was only 12 years old. After all, this age was too exaggerated.

“As expected, their strength and looks are on par.” The four female candidates gave Shi Yu a strange feeling. Apart from their looks, they were all pretty good. Perhaps it was due to cultural differences, but the Beast Tamers in this world wore fancy clothes.

For example, among the four girls, one of them was wearing a similar qipao but more like a magician’s robe. The other was wearing a black leather shirt that only covered a small portion of his body, and the other was wearing clothes that looked like ancient wuxia clothes… What the hell?

It was the same on the men’s side. There were also many abnormalities. It was still alright for Yu Shu, who was wearing a black trench coat and a windproof cloak to act cool. Shi Yu even saw a fool wearing metal plate armor. Wasn’t he tired from the weight?

“There aren’t many normal Beast Tamers like me anymore.”

Shi Yu looked at his white panda short-sleeved shirt and black pants and immediately felt that he was more affable to the people. On the other hand, these guys looked like they had come out of a cartoon.

“Or are these guys’ clothes made of special materials that can be used to increase attributes?”

The clothes in this world were also very particular. For example, the worm silk of the Green Silkworm could be used in the field of clothing to create clothes with many special effects. However, Shi Yu didn’t even have enough money to eat and drink, so he didn’t pay much attention to some brands with equipment.

His clothes seemed to be a gift from Bamboo Stone Dojo…

“Firstly, congratulations on passing this vocation assessment and officially becoming a professional Beast Tamer. You have stepped into the door of the vocation field.”

When the 16 people wondered why they had appeared here, a middle-aged examiner in a formal suit walked out of the cabin door and smiled at the crowd.

“Hello, I’m the overall in-charge of this vocation assessment, Qu Xie.”

Master Qu Jie?

Everyone immediately recognized this person from his name. Qu Jie, a top-level professional Beast Tamer.

Only when one’s Beast Taming Space reached level six would they have the chance to enjoy this top-notch master honor.

It was still alright if the Beast Taming Space was from level one to three. As long as the Beast Tamer worked hard, he could accumulate it with time.

However, after the Beast Taming Space reached level three, it was not so easy to improve. Talent, cultivation resources, and feedback from the upgrade of his pet could not fall behind.

Therefore, the level-six Beast Taming Space was already a very high level.

After that, it would be a Legendary-level person that could control overlord-level creatures.

“Master Qu Jie.” A portion of the candidates greeted. A portion of the candidates didn’t say anything and continued waiting for Qu Jie to speak.

Master Qu Jie smiled and said, “Among you, probably no one plans to give up the fourth ranking competition, right?”

“No.” Everyone shook their heads. Although they were already professional Beast Tamers after passing the third round, they all knew that the fourth round’s ranking assessment was the most important.

This final assessment could determine their ranking in abilities among the new batch of professional Beast Tamers. It could decide their fate in the future!

“If not, then congratulations to the sixteen of you again for becoming key seed candidates for this year’s assessment. According to your performance in the Wilderness Survival Trials, you have an additional point policy. You can skip the assessment ranking segment and directly enter the final ranking elimination battle.”

“A total of 784 Beast Tamers passed the third assessment this time. It can also be said that you’re internally confirmed to be in the top 32. You don’t have to compete with most of the candidates anymore.”

Master Qu Jie smiled. This was preferential treatment for these 16 people, and also a form of protection for the other candidates.

Upon hearing that, Yu Shu, Miao Dongdong, and the others nodded. There was no surprise.

They were sufficiently confident in their strength. If they participated in the assessment ranking segment, facing ordinary candidates, it was tantamount to a massacre. It was also good to directly start the competition from the top 32.

The 16 of them observed each other again and understood that the people around them were their real competitors.

“Alright, in the next three days, you guys can relax and rest. You can come and watch the subsequent assessment if you want, or you can choose not to come. Apart from that, there’s also one more thing. The battle scenes of the sixteen of you in the field survival assessment will be edited as a promotional video for this Ancient Capital vocation assessment. This is also a proof that you can become key seeded candidates. There’s no problem, right?”

“No,” the strangely dressed crowd said calmly. Instead, they were looking forward to this opportunity to appear on TV.

What was this crap…!

Shi Yu also subconsciously said that there was no problem since everyone did, but his heart skipped a beat when he suddenly realized that Master Qu Jie was looking at him strangely.

Holy shit, wait, what did he just say?

Promotional video??

“…” Shi Yu recalled what he had done in the wilderness survival trial and his expression immediately darkened.

No way?

Just now, Shi Yu had even said that these guys in strange clothes were stupid. Now, he realized that he was the stupid one.

Shi Yu wanted to say something but hesitated. At this moment, Master Qu Jie hurriedly coughed dryly and said, “In that case, sit down. You should be able to reach the second airport in a minute. Just remember to pay attention to the assessment information later.”

With that, he quickly turned and left…

He couldn’t give Shi Yu a chance to refuse. It turned out that Beast Tamers could still play around with so much skill. When Shi Yu became a legendary Beast Tamer in the future, this promotional video would be the dark history of his youth. As the main examiner of this batch, he might be able to gain some fame with this… Pfft.

…

Not long after Master Qu Jie left, the airship shook. It looked like he had arrived at his destination. His speed was very fast.

The sixteen key seeded candidates were not very familiar with each other. There was no conversation during the entire process.

Shi Yu wanted to go to Yu Shu’s side and ask him how to use the Dragon Soul Grass, but when he thought about how this would agitate Yu Shu and also lose the friendship of this future great Dragon Tamer like losing Yin Zhengfan, he decided to forget it.

He would talk about it after returning to school.

After arriving at the destination, everyone quietly got off the cruiser. However, at this moment, the second airport was noisy. After all, thousands of candidates had arrived and landed here at the same time.

At the moment, most of the candidates still didn’t know the situation of their assessment results. Those candidates who completed the assessment mission were alright, but those who couldn’t complete the assessment mission and planned to bet on their points ranking were still very nervous.

“I’ll leave first.” After Shi Yu came down, he smiled and waved at Yu Shu and Yin Zhengfan.

The other thirteen candidates glanced at Shi Yu slightly. Yu Shu turned his head unhappily and ignored Shi Yu. As for Yin Zhengfan, after a moment of silence, he said politely, “I’ll see you in the ranking battle.”

Shi Yu nodded and didn’t stay long. He immediately left because someone was picking him up… He opened his cell phone and saw a message.

There was also a picture attached to the message. The picture showed Senior Panda’s location. Just like the last time he came to Ancient Capital, after Shi Yu completed the Wilderness Survival Trial, Senior Panda replaced the archeological Seven Elites to fetch Shi Yu.

“Where is it…”

Shi Yu walked out of the airport almost immediately. However, because of this, before the car could be found, he was stopped by a two-man reporter team who was waiting for him.

It was a man and a woman. The man wore a blue hat and carried a huge camera as he attacked Shi Yu. The reporter lady held a red microphone warmly and asked, “Hello, handsome. We are reporters from Phoenix TV Station. May I ask…”

“The assessment is very smooth. I think it’s not difficult. I’m very confident in the upcoming ranking battle. Thank you for your blessings and I wish you success in your work.” Shi Yu didn’t wait for the reporter lady to finish asking. He didn’t want to waste time on the interview. Under the confused expressions of the two, he quickly passed them and the crowd.

The reporter was speechless.

You’ve already answered it, what else do I have to ask?

“So uncooperative. To think I even chose the most handsome one for the interview,” she said indignantly.

“Delete this part… it’s useless.”

…

“Beep… Beep…”

“Over here!!”

After Shi Yu passed through the crowd, he finally discovered the panda senior who had her window open and was waving at him.

Shi Yu smiled and quickly walked over. He opened the car door and sat down in relief.

“Phew—” After getting into the car, Shi Yu felt the cold wind and the fragrance drifting in the car. He immediately felt relieved.

It was still more comfortable to sit in a car. As expected of human intelligence. It was more comfortable than a panda mount, though Eleven was more unique.

Eleven in the Taming space:???

“How is it?” At this moment, in the driver’s seat, Panda Sister was wearing large black sunglasses. She smiled and asked.

“The research institute has prepared a celebration dinner for you. Don’t say that you failed the exam.”

Shi Yu smiled and said, “How could that be? Moreover, I seem to have become some key seed candidate. I can directly enter the top 32 without participating in the complicated competitions before the ranking battle.”

“Really??” The panda senior was slightly surprised. “This means that your performance in the comprehensive evaluation of the assessment committee is ranked in the top 16! Not bad!”

Although Shi Yu’s basic test results were very good, the second pet was a Green silkworm after all. Everyone was quite worried at first.

From the looks of it, Eleven was very impressive this time?!

Little did the panda senior know that the MVP for this battle was Shi Yu himself… Eleven and Buggy were support teams.

After the car started, the panda senior asked questions as she drove.

Shi Yu also asked.

“Any progress recently?”
