Chapter 164 - The Ridiculous Final Test (1/2)

“Huu, I managed to get through it somehow,” Zhang Che let out a long breath. His back was soaked with sweat.

Just as he thought there was no choice but to reveal his strength as a Tier Four beastmaster, the rainbow crystal in his spiritual sea seemed to sense his thoughts and suddenly emitted blinding rainbow rays, illuminating his entire spiritual sea.

After that, as the device started measuring his spiritual strength, Zhang Che felt his spiritual strength being suppressed to the level of a Tier Three beastmaster. The final test results shown on the device was that he was a Tier Three beastmaster.

-Tsk, it seems like the rainbow crystal can tamper with anything related to spiritual strength!-

When he encountered Wu Yunfeng in the beast world, and he used the peculiar bugle horn to launch a spiritual attack on him, it was also the rainbow crystal that responded and shielded him from the attack, keeping Zhang Che safe.

Now, during the spiritual strength measurement, it was actually able to suppress Zhang Che’s spiritual strength to the realm of Tier Three beastmaster. Its mystical abilities were truly unimaginable.

After he calmed down and waited for close to half an hour, the organizer was finally done with reconfirming the present examinees’ tiers.

-Going forward, it should be the official examination, right?- Zhang Che thought curiously. He wondered whether it would be testing their proficiency at commanding their subdued beasts, or if it would be a simple and crude examining of their subdued beasts’ strength.

If not, would they be like the fantasy novels and hold a tournament?

The examinees would be split into a number of smaller groups and compete against each other to the end. The ones with the best results would directly enter the best universities, the ones with second-grade results would enroll into second tier universities, and those with the worst results would enroll into ordinary universities, or even fail?

If that were truly the case, Zhang Che wasn’t worried about it.

At the most, he would expose a three-star dark gold-quality subdued beast at the crucial moment. He wouldn’t dare to guarantee that he’d get first, but it wouldn’t be a problem for him to obtain a spot in the upper ranks.

Zhang Che wasn’t the only one anticipating this. Every examinee present, including the accompanying teachers, was guessing what the examination method would be.

It was obvious that everyone was too naive.

When the organizer announced the rules of the examination, the first thought in everyone’s mind was… ridiculous!

It wasn’t just ordinary ridiculousness. It was extremely ridiculous!

————–

The contents of the final test were as follows:

All examinees were split into three ranks according to their beastmaster tiers.

Tier Four beastmasters were the first rank. Although they were rare among the ten thousand-plus examinees, they still existed.

Tier Three beastmasters made up the second rank. The remaining Tier Two beastmasters naturally made up the third rank.

After that, every examinee was required to register the subdued beasts they were going to use in the examination. The number of beast cards everyone could register was limited to their beastmaster tier’s capacity plus one.

In other words, a Tier Four beastmaster could bring six beast cards, a Tier Three beastmaster five cards, and Tier Two beastmasters could only bring four beast cards.

The organizers were considered very nice, allowing one extra beast card for the examinees.

Naturally, when they registered their beast cards, only their level, quality, and type were noted down. Their comprehensive attributes weren’t required to be noted.

After confirming the registration of beast cards the examinees were going to bring, if anyone was found to have cheated during the examination, their entire team would be disqualified. No universities would accept them, and their qualification to take part in university entrance exams would be retracted, as well!

The severity of the punishments couldn’t be said to be light. Although there would still be people who would choose to take the risk, at least they wouldn’t do it too unrestrainedly.

After registering the information on the examinees’ subdued beasts, the organizers would split all of the examinees into groups of five by mixing them in a balanced manner, and send them into the beast worlds for the final test.

As for the tiny fraction who couldn’t form a group of five, the organizer would randomly pick out those who were relatively stronger and form them into a group whose strength was close to the other groups of five.

Such a examination method was simply unheard of.

-Were they going to have a group competition to decide the final placings?-

-If that was the case, why do we still have to enter the beast world?-

Once you thought in this direction, everyone could basically guess the final model of the examination.

It was probably to send everyone into a designated area and have a exotic beast hunting competition, and their ranking would be determined by how much they hunted.

“It seems like I will have to expose a dark gold-quality beast card. That way, even if I get teamed up with four noobs, I won’t have to worry about faring poorly in the test. Of course, it’d be best if I could go solo. There’d be nothing to worry about then,” Zhang Che came to such a decision after thinking for a while.

In any case, there shouldn’t be many examinees with dark gold-quality beast cards, but there wouldn’t be too little of them either.

All of the talented students in the entire Hua Xia region were gathered here, with no lack of people who were slightly luckier, or born into good households. Having a few dark gold-quality beast cards appearing among them truly couldn’t be any more normal.
