Soon, Wang Yun met up with some of her classmates.

“How did it go for you all?” she asked.

A female student smiled, saying, “It was a breeze. But the overall skill level in Gusu City is so low. There was not a single one with an Energy Value above one thousand.”

Wang Yun replied with a faint smile, “Don’t get complacent. We are not only representing Tainxuan High School but also the honor of Lingxi City. We’ll be in trouble if we don’t make it into the top ten.”

Hearing her words, the other girls shrank their necks slightly and mumbled, “There are ten or more boys over there, it’s gonna be hard making it into the top ten. The top twenty is more like it.”

“Exactly. Gusu City is in such a mess right now. The final rankings will probably match the school rankings.”

Despite the loud chatter, the candidates from Gusu City were helpless despite their vexation.

At that moment, a report drew everyone’s attention.

“Candidate: Bai Qi.”

“Race Name: Ice Shadow Swordsman.”

“Bloodline Level: High-grade Elite.”

“Growth Level: First Stage Eighth Level.”

“Energy Value: 13000.”

The site fell silent momentarily.

Did someone just make it above ten thousand?

And it’s a High-grade Elite to boot?

The crowd was dumbfounded, staring at Bai Qi, wide-eyed and incredulous.

Even a Low-level Lord only had an Energy Value of 4300, how did this guy end up with 13000?

I must be hallucinating due to lack of sleep.

Everyone shook their heads, but the data on the detector had not changed.

“Wait, it’s that Bai Qi!”

At that moment, one sharp-eyed person recognized Bai Qi and soon others followed suit.

“The one who passed the Lamentation Tower first?”

“No wonder Qiu Cha is familiar with him, the people he associates with cannot be ordinary.”

“Tsk… It’s hard to believe, but for some reason, I am feeling great suddenly.”

“Me too.”

Seeing the expressions of candidates from Tainxuan High School and Lingxi City change, the candidates of Gusu City were relieved as they held their heads high.

“May I leave now?”

Bai Qi had anticipated that Alpha’s extraordinary Energy Value might cause some disturbance, but he hadn’t expected it to be so exaggerated.

“Yes, you may leave now. Please prepare for the theory examination.”

The examiner pointed towards an adjacent passage, silently uploading Bai Qi’s data.

As a Beast Master of Gusu City himself, he had heard that Bai Qi had caught the Council Elder’s eye. It seems that the person the Elder was referring to was Bai Qi-

But a High-grade Elite with an Energy Value of 13,000 was scary indeed, the young ones were too fearsome.

Given this, Gusu City might actually stand a chance in this joint examination.

Bai Qi recalled Alpha, preparing to find his theory examination hall. At this moment, candidates who had passed the first round of examination quickly swarmed around him.

“Dude, an Energy Value of 13,000. Did you drug your beast?”

“I heard that the Ice Shadow Swordsman is a high-rank evolution of the Skeleton Knight. Do you have any special cultivation methods? I’ll buy them at a high price!”

“Move aside! How can someone just give away such secrets? By the way, where did you buy your pet beast? I’ll reach the Second Stage soon and want to get one for myself.”

Seeing the horde of people pouncing at him like a pack of wolves, Bai Qi felt nervous. He finally managed to escape with the examiner’s help.

“Being in the spotlight has its downsides, I need to stay home more often in the future.”

Bai Qi quickly left, but a few pairs of eyes remained fixated on him.

“Wang Yun, do you think Zhang Kai and the others can beat this guy?”

Wang Yun frowned, saying, “The strength of a pet beast is not solely determined by its Energy Value. He might just be an empty vessel. Instead of worrying about Bai Qi, you should be more cautious of running into Xia Xuan.”

The group of girls agreed and started looking for Xia Xuan.

“I heard Xia Xuan is handsome and he’s the heir to the Xia’s Group, wouldn’t it be great if we could get acquainted with him?”

“Dream on. I just saw Xia Xuan going inside.”

“Why didn’t I hear anything?”

“You were too busy looking at Bai Qi to notice anything else.”

“Oh no… I missed out.”

Achoo!

Not far away, Xia Xuan, escorted by Hua Rong and his followers, was heading towards the examination hall when he sneezed. He then cast a glance at Bai Qi.

He believed that the data and appearance of his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus would definitely ignite the venue. However, he was testing at the same time as Bai Qi, resulting in Bai Qi stealing the limelight, leaving him unnoticed.

This guy… Why does he steal my thunder everywhere we go, like a limpet?

“Young Master Xuan, don’t bother about him. Energy Value is not everything in a professional examination. In the following two rounds, Young Master Xuan will surely shine!”

Hua Rong flattering complement calmed Xia Xuan down.

That was true. Be it the theory or practical examination, he was confident. All he had to do was be mindful of that bloody dog.

Thinking that way, Xia Xuan walked proudly towards the examination hall.

If he secured the first position in the joint examination, he could finally hold his head high in front of those two.

Soon, the first round of basic examination ended, and the written test was about to begin.

“Bai Qi, you’re in this examination hall too?”

When Bai Qi arrived in front of the examination hall, he ran into Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan.

Bai Qi asked, “You both are in this hall too?”

Gao Cheng nodded and said, “Yes, you and I are in the same hall, Lu Yuan is next door.”

Bai Qi understood and prepared to enter the examination hall.

“Bai Qi, how prepared are you for this examination?”

Bai Qi said, “I should be fine.”

As a student at the Department of Mechanized Martial Arts, Bai Qi was confident about his intellect. He had also crammed with past years’ real papers before setting out, so he thought he should be alright.

Besides, he had a half-mechanized dog called Husky. The examination materials were already stored in Husky’s smart brain.

What? You say it’s cheating?

Where does the regulation of professional Beast Master examination say that a pet beast can’t help?

Seeing Bai Qi’s confident appearance, Gao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s good. In this joint examination between two cities, the question papers will also be set by the two cities together. There will certainly be some characteristic questions from Lingxi City. I thought you were unprepared, but since you are, it should be fine.”

What!

Why didn’t Old Qin tell me about this?

Bai Qi remained silent for a while before he could squeeze out a sentence.

“Gao Cheng, do you have any materials with you? Can I revise them again?”

Gao Cheng:”….”
