Friday, January 11th.

The day after the start of the professional beast tamer assessment.

At the entrance of Jianghuai University, a row of buses were parked.

Because many students from Jianghuai University were taking the professional beast tamer exam, the school arranged vehicles to transport students to their respective exam venues according to the exam room assignments.

Among those participating in the professional beast tamer assessment, the majority are second- and third-year students, followed by fourth-year and first-year students.

However, the people from Jianghuai University who participated in the assessment could only be considered a small portion of all those who participated in this Beastmaster assessment.

Because there is no age limit for the professional beast tamer examination, many beast tamers who have already entered the workforce participate, and there are even some "candidates" who are in their fifties or sixties.

People from surrounding cities and universities in Jianghuai City also sign up to participate.

Roughly estimated, no fewer than 10,000 people participated in this assessment!

Based on the pass rate in recent years, no more than 200 people will ultimately obtain the professional beast tamer qualification certificate.

"200?!"

On the bus, Yun Che's eyes widened as he listened to his squad leader Xiong Yuhe's account.

10,000 people choosing 200?

This is even harder than taking the civil service exam!

Xiong Yuhe said with a smile, "Achieving 200 is already considered a very high percentage; 100 is the norm."

"In fact, at least one-fifth can be eliminated in the first round, and quite a few people participate with a try-it-out attitude. If it doesn't work this time, they can try again next time. There are two assessments a year, one in the first half and one in the second half."

give it a try?

The professional beast tamer assessment includes a wilderness survival component.

Don't try and it will become a thing of the past.

Moreover, is it really that extravagant to charge a registration fee of 5000 yuan per registration?

"Ah Che!"

Then two more people got into the car.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Yun Che looked slightly surprised. "Pei Jinzhi?"

"Isn't that surprising?" Pei Jinzhi said with a smile. Beside her was a girl with a cold and expressionless face. Yun Che didn't recognize her and had never seen her before. She probably wasn't a student in their Beast Taming Department.

It seems that Pei Jinzhi has been frequently absent from school team training lately. Judging from her appearance... has her Wind Crystal Butterfly reached the extraordinary level?

Pei Jinzhi gave a brief introduction to the girl next to her.

Her name was Song Ningwei, a student in the Tactical Department. She seemed to have a rather aloof personality. After a brief greeting, she sat down, put on her headphones, and looked out the window without saying a word.

"Don't mind her, Weiwei doesn't talk much, but she's very capable!" Pei Jinzhi said.

The fact that Pei Jinzhi said Song Ningwei was very capable means that she must have some skills.

Not all students like to join the school team; for example, Xiong Yuhe, who is next to him, prefers the student council.

With Pei Jinzhi joining them, the three of them started talking about the upcoming Beast Tamer assessment again.

The Beast Tamer assessment is mainly divided into three rounds.

The first round is a written test.

However, as students of Jianghuai University, they can apply for exemption from the entrance examination.

This is primarily aimed at beast tamers who participate in the assessment through social channels, ensuring that they possess the ability to identify extraordinary creatures and recognize dangers, at least during the wilderness survival assessment phase.

This made Yun Che very fortunate.

For students like him, the period when their academic knowledge is at its peak, or rather, their exam-taking ability is strongest, will forever remain in their senior year of high school, a period that is impossible to surpass.

He has felt fortunate countless times because he was born after the college entrance examination was over.

They're going today to participate in the second round; they skipped the first round.

The second round is a practical assessment.

Opponents are randomly matched by drawing lots, and the game is a best-of-three format. This means that each player will play against a maximum of three players, and winning two games will allow them to advance to the next round.

This round involved both luck and skill.

The third round is a wilderness survival assessment.

It lasted for three days.

The specific regions for the assessment have not yet been announced, but it is said that the locations will vary every year to prevent candidates with "money power" from being selected.

"If you don't want to participate in the lottery-based practical test, you can apply to choose to compete against the examiner. Winning means you pass," Pei Jinzhi said.

Challenging the examiners?

That's not appropriate.

Yun Che shook his head.

"But you should know that some contestants... are even more formidable than the examiners. If you encounter one, it could be a real problem."

As the granddaughter of the vice president of the Jianghuai City Beast Tamer Association, Pei Jinzhi knew much more about the contestants than Yun Che did.

"Isn't that a best-of-three series? We can't afford to encounter extremely strong opponents both times, can we?" Yun Che smiled.

"Too."

"In each professional beast tamer assessment, the top ten are given special attention by the association and are also given substantial assessment rewards. Many beast tamers from relatively ordinary backgrounds have thus gained the opportunity to grow and even become famous."

Xiong Yuhe patted Yun Che on the shoulder, "A-Che, you guys have to keep it up."

"Roar!" Kong Kong immediately raised his head to express his opinion.

Just wait and see, Master Kong!

But Yun Che wasn't so optimistic.

Top ten?

Kongkong is only a low-level extraordinary being. Among tens of thousands of people taking the test, being able to successfully pass this Beast Tamer test and become a true Beast Tamer would be considered a great success.

"If I can pass this test, I think I'll be extremely lucky," Yun Che said.

"You underestimate yourself." Xiong Yuhe shook his head.

Yun Che changed the subject, asking the question he was most concerned about: "During the wilderness survival assessment, the resources collected belong to the examinees, right?"

"That's right." Xiong Yuhe and Pei Jinzhi exchanged a glance and said at the same time.

That's good.

not worried.

Let's set a small goal first.

Collect resources equivalent to 300 credits!

The bus drove into the examination hall.

Because there were too many people taking the exam, the Beast Tamer Association had to divide the exam into several venues, and Yun Che and his group arrived at exam venue number 7.

Even though there were multiple exam rooms, when I got off the bus, it was still packed with people, and the noise was overwhelming, creating a lively and tense atmosphere.

"That's great..." A young man, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, dressed in an examiner's uniform, said cheerfully by the side of the examination room.

"What's so good about it?" asked a female examiner who was also dressed in an examiner's uniform.

"Of course, it's because of how nervously they're preparing for the exam." The boy's words carried a hint of schadenfreude, or rather, the relief of an onlooker.

The female examiner rolled her eyes in annoyance, but couldn't help but smile.

They are all professional beast tamers from the Jianghuai City Beast Tamer Association. The examiners for each professional beast tamer assessment are selected from the registered young professional beast tamers.

Many people are happy to participate.

It's not just because the mission rewards are quite good, but also because you can experience a sense of relaxation that comes from being detached from the tense atmosphere.

I just felt much better overall.

"Stop chatting, time's almost up." A middle-aged male examiner interrupted the conversation of several young examiners. He was Deng Fang, the chief examiner for this round and in this examination room.

He handed out portable instruments to each examiner.

These instruments are mainly used for recording information to ensure the fairness of each assessment.

"Yes!" all the examiners responded in unison.

"Also, this is a list of people who need special attention. If any of these candidates are in your assigned venue, just press the special attention button on the device." As he spoke, Chief Examiner Deng Fang distributed more lists.

"clear!"

Many of them are examiners before, so they know what to do.

"Let's begin!" Deng Fang clapped his hands.

The second round of the professional beast tamer assessment!

Chief examiner Deng Fang read out the rules and precautions for the second round of assessment.

"...Finally, each match will have a time limit of 10 minutes!"

"Stop immediately when the 10 minutes are up. The examiner will announce the winner. Anyone with objections can appeal after today's assessment! Each person has only one appeal opportunity. If the appeal is successful, the opportunity will be retained; if it fails, the appeal opportunity will be lost!"

"I hereby announce that the second round of assessment in Examination Room 7 has officially begun! Everyone, please proceed to your respective areas for the battle according to the list scrolling on the big screen!"

Even though the chief examiner Deng Fangming didn't hold a microphone, his voice carried throughout the entire venue, and after he gave the order, a large number of examinee numbers immediately started scrolling on the large screen in the center of the venue.

In examination room number three, examiner Liu Yu looked at the examination number displayed on the instrument.

No. 357 VS No. 2003!

"Number 357?" Liu Yu glanced at the list of people he was paying special attention to and found that number 357 was on it.

Is there already someone who needs special attention after only the third game?

Meng Song (No. 357) vs. Yun Che (No. 2003).

Meng Song?

The examiner, Liu Yu, had a vague recollection of it.

It seems to be... a beast tamer who performed exceptionally well in the assessment in the first half of the year, but failed the final wilderness survival assessment due to some special reasons.

Another one named Yun Che...

Are you a freshman at Jianghuai University?

"Tsk tsk, what a pity." Liu Yu shook his head with a tsk tsk.

Freshmen are one of the key individuals they focus on from the very beginning.

You'll experience the brutality of the professional beast tamer exam right from the start.

It's good to gain some experience.

Go and broaden your horizons.
