The woman seemed to know what Qiao Sang was thinking and offered an excuse:
"My clockwork tapir has just evolved less than a month ago, so I haven’t completely mastered its strength."
"I know." Qiao Sang nodded with a smile.
The woman felt somewhat uneasy, and just at that moment, a voice rang out from the loudspeaker:
"Number 24, prepare to enter the arena."
Qiao Sang looked down at her number paper, which was indeed number 24.
"Then I’ll go for the assessment now," Qiao Sang said as she stood up.
"Good luck." The woman, recalling her own experiences, kindly advised, "Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just be natural."
Qiao Sang smiled, then gave Xiao Xunbao a nod.
"Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes emitted a blue light.
The next second, Qiao Sang appeared on the stage.
The few Beast Tamers present stirred at the sight.
Everyone took out their Pet Beast Identifiers and aimed them at the creature on the stage that looked like a member of the Spectral Series yet could perform Spatial Movement, but no one could identify it, and the hubbub suddenly arose.
Qiao Sang had long been accustomed to people’s attention; she stood quietly to the side with a composed demeanor.
The C-rank Beast Tamer was already the first significant milestone for Professional Beast Tamers.
Accordingly, the assessment was also more demanding.
Before coming, she had learned that the assessment for a C-rank Beast Tamer on Chao Su Star followed a 3V3 format, and there was a strict requirement for General-level Pet Beasts to participate in battle.
At the level of a C-rank Beast Tamer, the strength of a single Pet Beast was no longer sufficient to prove a Beast Tamer’s professionalism. Only when all the Pet Beasts one has trained are strong can one merit the prefix "Professional."
"Let’s begin." The examiner clasped his hands together, summoning a beast about five meters in size, resembling a snowflake, with a spout on its head ejecting cold air.
Examiners from different places had different habits.
Some examiners, adhering strictly to combat competition standards, were accustomed to summoning Pet Beasts simultaneously with the candidates, while some were confident enough in their own abilities not to mind summoning first, allowing candidates to choose a suitable Pet Beast to summon based on its attributes.
The current examiner was clearly the latter.
Qiao Sang didn’t hold back either, clasped her hands, and the orange-yellow Star Array lit up.
"Yaobao!"
Accompanying Yaobao’s entry, a strong gust of wind instantly whipped up around it.
In the moment it appeared, the temperature around it surged.
The frost that had initially formed due to the snowflake-shaped beast emitting cold air rapidly melted away.
"What kind of Pet Beast is that?!"
"I can’t find it! I can’t identify both of her Pet Beasts!"
"Did you notice that the Beast Tamer taking the assessment looks a bit too young?"
"Ah, maybe she just has a baby face."
"Hiss... I feel like I’ve seen this Pet Beast somewhere before..."
The already buzzing voices became even noisier.
Snow Hider, an Ice-Type General-level Pet Beast, with a body temperature around minus ten degrees, could shoot a fierce Blizzard from the spout on top of its head to attack enemies and could hide in snowy weather. Because it could create snowy weather, it was quite popular on Chao Su Star... Qiao Sang flicked through the opposing beast’s information in her mind.
Meanwhile, the examiner, who felt somewhat astonished by the appearance of Yaobao and Qiao Sang, regained his composure and nodded to the notary at the side.
"Qu!"
Upon receiving the signal, the notary blew the whistle that indicated the start of the assessment.
The Snow Hider almost immediately opened its mouth after the whistle blew, and ice arrows sharp as razors appeared out of thin air and rained down like a shower, furiously attacking the spot where Yaobao was.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
As the ice arrows rained down, the ground became riddled with holes, scattered with fragments of ice.
And by that time, Yaobao had already vanished from its original spot.
It has Psychic Series powers too! The examiner’s pupils shrank as he looked up at the red beast in the sky and commanded:
"Above!"
"Snow Hider!"
The Snow Hider looked up and called out, and the ice arrows’ sharp points changed direction in an instant, ascending to strike!
