Chapter 10: The Beast Taming Competition
The annual Beast Tamer Contest was held as scheduled in Flame City, and young beast trainers from the entire Ancient Moon Kingdom came to participate one after another.
For a moment, Flame City became bustling.
Early in the morning, Zhuge Liuyun walked out of the door and found that Luo'er was already waiting outside the door.
Luo Er smiled slightly, "I heard Xiao Liuli say that the Beast Taming Contest is being held in Flame City today, and it will definitely be very lively, do you want to go over and have a look with Brother Liuyun?"
"If there is a lively look, it is natural to go".
Saying that, the two came downstairs, had breakfast hastily, and walked out of the inn.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Liuli was already waiting outside the inn door, and when she saw the two of them coming out, she greeted them and hugged Luo'er's arm.
"You finally gave up".
For Dongfang Liuli's stubborn fighting, Luo Er has no way to do it.
"This is the busiest day of the year in our Flame City, and you guys are still so slow, and you are not afraid of missing out on the exciting game."
After speaking, he dragged Luo'er forward.
After a while, several people came to a large circular building, and the gate of the building was written in three large words: "Beast Taming Field".
When he walked inside, Zhuge Liuyun was directly stunned, he didn't expect it to be so huge inside, and the audience seat alone could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people!
At this time, in the beast taming field, it was already crowded, and Xiao Liuli took the two of them to a seat with an excellent position and sat down.
This can't help but make Zhuge Liuyun secretly frightened, he guessed before that Xiao Liuli was the daughter of a big family, but now it seems that he underestimated her, just by virtue of today's position, it is enough to see that her background is extraordinary.
Not long after the three of them sat down, they saw a slightly chubby man wearing an official hat slowly walking up to the animal taming platform.
The man cleared his throat and began to speak in an official tone.
"First of all~~ Thank you very much for coming from afar to participate in the annual Beast Trainer Contest in Flame City, below, let us invite, all the young beast trainers who participated this year."
Suddenly, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the applause rang out in unison, and I saw young men and women no more than 20 years old walking on the animal taming platform in an orderly manner.
"The number of young animal trainers participating in this year's competition is greater than ever, which will indicate that our Guyue Kingdom will surely prosper and prosper."
is worthy of being an official, this official tone instantly exploded the audience.
The crowd applauded, screamed and shouted wildly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the entire beast farm was boiling.
Seeing that the atmosphere was stirred up by himself, the official waved his hand.
"Next, I will read out the rules of the competition."
This guy is really grinding, and by the time he finished reading the rules, most of the people present were already asleep, but Zhuge Liuyun listened very carefully.
This competition is divided into five days, the first day is the water spirit beast taming competition, the second day is the land spirit animal taming competition, the third day is the air spirit beast taming competition, the fourth day is the individual spirit animal competition competition, the fifth day is the top ten competition, the final top ten, will be awarded the title of junior beast taming master, and awarded the beast taming master badge.
Tens of thousands of people competed for ten places, and this competition can only be described as miserable.
As soon as the official gave the order, dozens of soldiers on the tower of the beast taming arena pulled the handrail beside them at the same time.
With a loud bang, the ground of the taming platform slowly cracked, and soon it became a huge lake.
Zhuge Liuyun was amazed, and he couldn't imagine that in this non-mechanized era, he could still see such an amazing masterpiece.
The official cleared his throat, "Now I'll read out the rules of today's game."
"Today is the water-based spirit animal taming competition, and the content of the competition is to tame the best quality water-based spirit animals in the shortest possible time."
"The time limit is three hours, if you fail to complete it on time, you will be eliminated, and those who complete the task on time will be ranked according to the level of the spirit beast and the final time"
"Finally, 1,000 people will be selected to enter the next part of the competition, and the next competition will begin."
At the sound of an order, tens of thousands of animal trainers on the field took action in an instant and jumped into the water one after another, the scene was like dumplings, and Zhuge Liuyun was speechless for a while.
There are really many types of spirit animals in the water, there are water leopards, sea lions, sharks, mink, in short, there are everything, and Zhuge Liuyun is dazzling.
There are different ways of taming animals, some people are controlled by the sound of flutes, some are controlled by ropes, and some even are directly barehanded.
One of the girls in red was particularly eye-catching, unlike others, she did not make physical contact with those spirit beasts, but swam quickly in the water, and jumped out of the air from time to time, as if she was in it.
When he saw the other party's face clearly, Zhuge Liuyun was slightly stunned, wasn't this the red-clothed girl he saw in the inn before, but he didn't expect that she was still a beast trainer.
Soon an hour passed, and the number of people who were eliminated at this time had risen to as many as one or two hundred thousand, and none of the remaining people had successfully challenged so far.
At this time, there were four animal trainers, three men and one woman, standing on the animal taming platform, they had been standing there quietly since the beginning of the competition, and when the bell rang for an hour, they jumped into the water in an instant as if they had agreed.
One of the men, wearing a pair of purple gloves on his hands, directly grabbed a black spirit beast that looked like a long dragon the moment he jumped into the water.
The spirit beast jumped up and kept twisting its huge body, only to see huge waves on the surface of the water.
The huge wave hit the spirit beasts not far away, directly shooting them out, and the surrounding beast tamers flew out one after another.
The spirit beast found that it had not been able to break free for a long time, and with a roar of rage, it sank into the water.
The man was unmoved, holding each other tightly with both hands, and flew forward against the huge waves.
Suddenly, the spirit beast coiled up, and the moment it jumped out of the water, purple-black thunder and lightning were released from its body.
Thunder and lightning surged in all directions like a long snake with a huge mouth open.
The surrounding beast tamers and spirit beasts fled one after another, but the speed of thunder and lightning was too fast.
I saw that a large number of beast tamers and spirit beasts were directly scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, obviously not lightly injured.
The man, on the other hand, completely ignored the damage of the purple thunder and followed the other party steadily.
At this time, the people around Zhuge Liuyun were all talking.
"It is worthy of being a once-in-a-century genius of the Spirit Beast Sect, Dugu Qingyu, who came up to challenge this blue electric overlord eel with explosive strength."
"That's right, that's right, I've heard that this blue electric overlord eel is like a water overlord."
"It is said that this adult blue electric overlord eel can release electricity dozens of times more powerful than thunder and lightning."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liuyun couldn't help but gasp, dozens of times stronger than thunder and lightning, what kind of terrifying strength is that.
Through this period of understanding, Zhuge Liuyun already has a general understanding of the level of spirit beasts.
The division of spirit beast levels is similar to that of cultivators, and it is also divided into nine levels, which are low-level spirit beasts, high-level spirit beasts, yellow-level spirit beasts, Xuan-level spirit beasts, earth-level spirit beasts, heaven-level spirit beasts, soul-level spirit beasts, saint-level spirit beasts, and god-level spirit beasts.
Under normal circumstances, low-priced spirit beasts correspond to the strength of the cultivator's quenching realm, while god-rank spirit beasts correspond to the strength of the cultivator's mythical realm.
However, there are accidents in everything, many spirit beasts can kill cultivators by leaping over the level because of their strong bloodline, and some cultivators with outstanding qualifications can also kill spirit beasts by leapfrogging.
The so-called hierarchical division is only a reference, not absolute.
Take the Blue Lightning Overlord Eel in front of him as an example, although it only has high-level strength, it should be easy to kill the cultivators of the Jindan Realm, and even some inferior Yuanying Realm cultivators are not necessarily its opponents.
Because of these characteristics of spirit animals, it has also led to the profession of animal trainer, which is highly sought after by people, but not everyone can become a beast trainer.
Only if you have a bloodline that can be accepted by the spirit beast, can you have a chance to be selected by the spirit beast.
And once you have a spirit beast with a strong bloodline as a partner, you can greatly improve the overall strength of the beast trainer.
It's just that a spirit beast with a strong bloodline can easily succumb, this is the rule of the cultivation realm, talent and hard work are equally important.
At this time, on the roof of the castle tower of the beast taming field, the Taoist real person kept fiddling with the gossip compass in his hand, and looked towards the arena from time to time.
On the other side of the city wall, the little monk of the color ring was lying on the roof, with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a wine jug in his hand, drinking a small wine with a comfortable face, looking at the sky.
In an inconspicuous position in the audience, sat a lovely girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a gold silk flowing dress, tied with a cute ponytail, and tied a red rope with a bell on her right hand, and her big bright eyes were very pleasing, and she was seen watching the game while cheering loudly.
