Chapter 118 Lakeside Giant Scorpion Part Three (1/2)

Thousands of people were looking at the backs of the eight. Gao Peng was filled with all sorts of emotions.

If a familiar was not at the commander tier, it would be impossible for it to fight familiars of a higher tier. Take Dumby for example. It had to be at level 20 and possess an epic grade in order to stand a chance against familiars that were at the commander tier.

Even the weakest commander tier familiars were still powerful. The difference between the two tiers was extremely large. Epic grade familiars were very rare, much rarer than commander tier familiars.

”The eight of them should be the strongest youngsters in Chang'an City,” someone said in the recesses of a military base. Several high-level military leaders looked at a big screen at the center of the base, broadcasting the Monster Trainer College Entrance Examination live.

The content on the screen was being recorded by a drone. The picture quality was extremely clear as the camera focused on area A. Compared to the large numbers of elite and normal tier familiars, the eight people with the commander tier familiars were more interesting.

”Not all eight of them are interesting. Only six of them are,” someone said and shook his head. ”I asked around and two of them are older. One is 21 years old, and the other is 20 years old. Their familiars were only promoted to commander tier recently. If they took such a long time to get their familiars up to the commander tier, it means that they are only somewhat talented. They can't be regarded as geniuses.”

The people around him nodded. The minimum age for signing a contract with a familiar was 18 years old. From this piece of information, people would be able to tell how talented a monster trainer was.

”But who can truly measure something like talent... such guesses are unreliable. I never believe such talk. I only know that these are the only eight monster trainers out of 30,000 in Chang'an city that have commander tier familiars,” another person whispered.

”Yes, they are our future,” a white-haired senior said slowly. ”We saw the signs a decade ago. In China's Shennongjia, in Brazil's Amazon rivers, and in America's Yellowstone Park. A small number of monsters started to appear in areas that were not populated by humans. We thought that we would be able to control the situation, but we still lost.”

Everyone stopped talking once he started speaking.

If this news were spread to the outside world, it would definitely cause a stir. That was because textbooks and various other records stated that the change only started to occur three and a half years ago. However, according to this old man, every nation on earth had seen signs a decade ago.

”I don't want any accidents in this exam. If there are any accidents in this exam, then the reputation of the Chang'an Military District would be ruined all over the world!” said the white-haired old man.

”General, please rest assured that all the soldiers stationed at the Monster Trainer College Entrance Examination were selected after a strict process. None of them will cause a problem!” someone replied. ”And every part of the Monster Trainer College Entrance Examination site is under watch by cameras. We adopted a one-to-one monitoring method. Each camera is monitored by one single person. If any problem occurs in any part of the exam, not only will the person who committed the crime be held responsible, but the person responsible for monitoring that part of the exam will also be punished!”

”I see,” the old man nodded.

Almost every household in Chang'an City had switched on their TVs to watch the fights between the familiars.

This program was special. This was a gathering of people comparable to the one that happened during the Entrance Examination for College. Every household had a son or a daughter. Many people had their eyes glued to the TV screen, waiting for the battles to start.

Of course, in the first round selections, people would watch the exams in their own cities.

”I see Gao Peng!” Li Zigong, who was at home, shouted. ”I knew it. I knew he wasn't someone who had no ambition-”

Li Zigong was interrupted by a sudden slap to his head. ”Shut up! It's getting interesting! Just shut up and watch the TV!” Li Hongdou said as he retracted his right hand. Li Hongdou rubbed his hands; Li Zigong's head was getting harder and harder...

The familiars in cages were released after a loud bang.

Gao Peng saw a giant truck come in and stop. The rear compartment door opened and revealed a cage that contained a huge blue figure.

It was 20 feet long and seven feet tall. The blue carapace looked extremely beautiful, it had an immense tail, and cold light emanated from the two huge claws. The giant scorpion seemed to be confused as it lifted up its claws to block its eyes from the sunlight. It then knelt down cautiously.
