With the sound of breaking wind, a golden giant eagle as huge as a mountain slowly landed on the wilderness outside a majestic and majestic giant city that could not be seen at a glance, setting off a raging wind that swept across the surrounding area layer by layer.
As the giant eagle landed completely, a figure floated down. Behind him, dozens of young men and women landed lightly from behind the giant eagle under the protection of blue wind energy.
It was Mu Yuxing and the members of the Yongnan City Beast Taming Guild who participated in this preliminary competition led by him.
Among the crowd, Lin Shuo stared with wide eyes at the huge city not far away, which was several times more towering than Yongnan City, with a look of surprise on his face.
What a huge scale.
Is this the imperial capital of the Yan Kingdom?
The imperial capital of Dayan Kingdom is located in the central region of Dayan Kingdom.
There are five cities in the Central Region. Except for the imperial capital in the center, the other four cities are located in the east, west, north, and south to protect the imperial capital.
While flying high in the sky, Lin Shuo had already understood the scale of the other four cities through overlooking them.
The four cities combined are not as majestic as the imperial capital in front of us.
"Let's go."
Compared with the shock of the young beast masters behind him who came to the imperial capital for the first time, Mu Yuxing's expression looked particularly calm. He took the golden feather beast back into the beast master space and took the lead in walking towards the majestic city gate of the imperial capital.
.
Seeing this, everyone came to their senses and trotted to follow.
Enter the Imperial Capital, sign up for the pre-selection competition, and settle down in the temporary residence prepared by the Beast Taming Federation in the Imperial Capital for participating beast Tamers.
After Mu Yuxing revealed his identity, everything went smoothly.
Soon, everyone in Yongnan City reunited in a side hall matching their residence.
"The pre-selection competition will begin tomorrow, with elite-level beast masters and master-level beast masters being held separately." Mu Yuxing glanced at the crowd and spoke concisely, "The first round of eliminations starting tomorrow will be held on the third day after the registration deadline.
Arrange the order of competition at one time, lasting four days, and each of you only needs to fight once."
"After the knockout rounds, there will be a rematch, which lasts for two days. It is also the only chance for players who were unlucky enough to encounter strong opponents and were eliminated in the first round to get back into the game."
"After the rematch, there will be a three-day second round of knockout matches."
"The two knockout rounds are over, and after a day's rest, we enter a fifteen-day round-robin, and then the finals."
This is information that everyone has already known in advance, so Mu Yuxing just mentioned a few words, and then changed his tone, "The order of the competition has not been announced yet, it will take about an hour, you can go around the imperial capital by yourself, or
You can stay in the room and practice."
"Okay!" Everyone responded and quickly walked out of the side hall.
Because he was not very familiar with the others, Lin Shuo was one of the few who was not accompanied by others.
This was his first time in the imperial capital, so naturally he had to experience the grandeur of the imperial capital of the Yan Kingdom.
Of course, the main purpose is to visit the Beast Control Tower in the Imperial Capital.
Before coming, Lin Shuo was worried that it would take too much time to break into the tower and make Senior Mu and other beast masters wait too long, so he did not break into the beast master tower.
Anyway, it’s the same no matter where you enter the tower, so I’ll make up for it here.
Lin Shuo walked out of the post and walked aimlessly on the road, thinking about what Mu Yuxing had just said.
There are a total of twenty-three large and small cities in the entire Dayan Kingdom, and Yongnan City is considered to be the strongest among them. Therefore, the number of beast masters participating in the preliminary competition can reach 70. Other cities may not have so many, so adding up,
There should be about a thousand beast masters participating in the preliminary competition.
After the first round of knockout and the subsequent rematch, there will still be 700 to 800 players left, and after the second round of knockout, there will be 300 to 400 players left to enter the round robin.
Naturally, it is impossible for a big competition with so many people to be completed in one day. The two rounds of knockout rounds plus the resurrection round will take a full nine days, which is normal.
If nothing else, I only need to participate in two rounds of knockout rounds, so I will only compete twice in nine days, which is relatively easy.
As for the round robin after the knockout rounds.
A group of six people, each person needs to fight with other people in the team once. A total of fifteen battles are required, one battle per day, so the round-robin competition needs to last for fifteen days.
In these fifteen days, Lin Shuo needs to fight one battle with the other five people in the same group, so on average he has to fight once every three days, and the schedule will be tighter.
If the top two in each group advance to the finals, based on this number of people, there will be about a hundred people who will advance to the finals.
More than a hundred people are competing for the qualifying spots for two elite beast masters.
Lin Shuo couldn't help but shake his head.
Sure enough, the finals were the most challenging.
The goose-yellow light flashed slightly under his feet, and soon, Qiuqiu and Guigui appeared next to Lin Shuo.
"Mi?(?òωó?)" (Where is this?)
Qiuqiu quickly looked around and found that it was in a completely unfamiliar place. It quickly jumped up and landed on Lin Shuo's forehead, and asked curiously.
As for Gui Gui, it felt the direct sunlight and got into Lin Shuo's shadow decisively, revealing a pair of big eyes that were also full of curiosity.
"This is the Imperial Capital. We have already arrived at the place where the pre-selection competition will be held, but the pre-selection competition will start tomorrow." Lin Shuo explained with a smile, "So now we are going to the Beast Control Tower to complete today's tower invasion.
Finish."
"Mi! (?òωó?)" (It's time for me to take care of my little brother again!)
Knowing that he was going to break into the tower, Qiuqiu immediately shook his head excitedly.
"Jie, Jie! (???)" (Wait for me to reach the third level of shadow magic, and in turn, take my big brother away!)
In Lin Shuo's shadow, Gui Gui couldn't help but roll his eyes and coo under his breath.
…
The four beast-control towers in the imperial capital stood at the four corners of the capital. After a brief inquiry, Lin Shuo quickly walked towards the beast-control tower closest to him.
But when he came to the towering tower and saw the long queue at the entrance, his expression suddenly became a little strange.
There are so many beast masters in the Imperial Capital...?
However, when he got closer and heard the whispers of the beast masters, Lin Shuo quickly realized that he had misunderstood.
These beast masters, like myself, are all from other places.
They are about to participate in the preliminaries. The beast masters will not miss any opportunity to improve themselves, so they all come to enter the tower. The number of people queuing in front of the beast master tower naturally increases.
After all, the Beast Taming Tower also has a capacity limit, and only ten Beast Taming Users can enter the tower at the same time.
In the past, this capacity limit was enough for normal operation, but now it is a special situation.
In such a situation, Lin Shuo had no choice but to explain to the two beasts and then stood at the back of the team and waited silently.
He was also idle, and his eyes quickly focused on the huge light screen on the wall displaying the tower rankings.
Without knowing anything about the Imperial Beast Controller, this can be regarded as a way to understand the strength of the Imperial City Beast Controller.
Then after walking around the ten names that appeared on the light screen, Lin Shuo's eyes suddenly widened.
"Yan Sushen, fifth floor (two versus two)."
This is the one currently ranked at the top among the ten names, and this name leaves the others far behind. The others after him can only reach the third level.
Lin Shuo's expression became a little solemn.
Two versus two means that the opponent has two pet beasts, which are at least the third level beast control space, and may also be the fourth level.
If the opponent's beast control space reaches the fourth level or above, then he will break into the command level beast control tower.
As the growth level increases, the difficulty of climbing the tower will increase exponentially.
When you are in the juvenile stage, as long as all your skills reach level II and there are one or two level III skills, you can walk sideways on the first five floors of the beast control tower.
At the elite level, even if all skills reach level III, there is only hope of passing the fourth level, and there is still little hope of passing the fifth level.
When it comes to the leadership level, there is no hope of passing the fifth level and reaching level IV with all skills.
But improving skills is becoming more and more difficult.
When Qiuqiu was at the infant level, he was able to upgrade Snow Trail to level III, but when he was at the elite level, he was unable to upgrade any of his skills to level IV, even with the fastest-growing and most frequently used Frost Silence.
The storm is still far away from a breakthrough.
By the time all Qiuqiu's skills reach level IV, I'm afraid it will already be a matter of monarch level.
If this beast-controller named Yan Sushen is a leader-level beast, he can form a team with a leader-level beast and pass the fifth floor of the beast control tower...
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Lin Shuo shook his head violently.
This beast-taming envoy named Yan Sushen must have broken into an elite-level beast-taming tower!
But then, his expression darkened again.
It's the same third-level beast-controlling space, and it's also an elite-level beastmaster with two pet beasts. The opponent's pet beasts can actually form a team to pass the fifth level?
In other words, there is still a big gap between him and the strongest being among the elite beast masters.
Thinking of this, Lin Shuo was silent for a moment, touched the ball lying on his head, looked at the ghost in the shadow, and spoke quietly with telepathy, "When we break into the tower later, let's try to form a team to break through the fourth
Layer it up."
Since Gui Gui's evolution was completed, the two pet beasts have never broken through the fourth level together. However, as Gui Gui's strength has improved now, Lin Shuo thought that maybe he could try again.
After seeing more geniuses as beast masters, he realized his own shortcomings.
In Yongnan City, his progress in climbing the Beast Control Tower has always been the first.
In addition, at Blue Star, his strength almost overwhelmed other students.
This made him once think that he was already the best at controlling beasts.
So much so that I became a little slack.
But now it's just a name, but it tells him clearly.
He is not.
There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
So we have to work harder.
"Jie! (／?＼)" (I will try my best not to hold back!)
In the shadow space, Guigui covered his face and muttered in embarrassment.
Qiuqiu has already had the strength to pass through the fourth floor independently, but it is still some distance away from the fifth floor. On the contrary, due to skill proficiency, its current strength is only evenly matched with the third floor, and it is not even guaranteed to pass through alone.
It can’t even be done on the third level, let alone the fourth level.
Therefore, if two pet beasts break into the fourth floor of the Beast Taming Tower together, it will definitely be the one holding back.
"Mi! Mi! (?òωó?)" (Don't be afraid! Big brother will take you flying!)
Qiuqiu shook his head, looking quite confident.
Although the two wind beasts on the fourth floor are difficult to deal with, after such a long time, their cooperation with Guigui has been greatly improved. If you try hard, I believe there is still hope for them!
After receiving positive responses from the two pet beasts, Lin Shuo's expression relaxed a bit.
He stared closely at the name in the light screen, eager to see who this beast master who could break through the fifth level was.
This name did not dissipate immediately after appearing on the fifth floor. Instead, it stayed for a while before disappearing from the light screen.
Lin Shuo was very familiar with this situation.
The opponent was probably trying to break into the sixth floor, but obviously, the opponent's attempt to break into the tower failed.
As the name disappeared, a handsome figure quickly walked out of the beast control tower. It was a young man with loose black hair and a luxurious robe.
At this moment, his expression was a bit helpless, and he was obviously a little depressed because he failed to get through the sixth floor. Until he walked out and met countless eyes looking at him, the young man's expression returned to calm, with a somewhat gentle smile.
He nodded in greeting to everyone.
The young man held a small beast in his arms with one hand, and behind him was a pet beast that was as tall as a man. Obviously these were the two pet beasts he had entered the beast control tower.
He did not take back the two pet beasts, as if he didn't mind other people's prying eyes at all.
Lin Shuo's eyes quickly fixed on the opponent's two pet beasts, his eyes quickly shrank, and after a while, he let out a soft breath.
The pet beast held in the arms of the black-haired young man was a pet beast with nine big fluffy tails about the same length as the body. Only a few golden lines were found on the whole body, and the rest of the hair was as white as snow.
fox.
That little nine-tailed fox, whose looks are no less than Qiuqiu, and who also carries a certain sense of mystery, has a poetic racial name.
Jinxia raised her eyebrows.
The light-based low-level emperor race, Jinxia Dianmei!
This little guy looked harmless, lying lazily in Yan Sushen's arms, being caressed by the beast master, and wagging his tail from time to time. He was clearly a member of the imperial race.
And Yan Sushen has more than one imperial race pet beast.
The person following Yan Sushen had only strong legs and a pair of folded wings. The blades of the wings shone coldly like knives. Sharp claws grew on the joints of the wings. Fine silver scales grew all over the body, with a similar appearance.
The pet beast has human facial features and a golden spindle-shaped object floating on the back of its head like a braid. It is also an imperial race.
Gold type, fighting type lower emperor race, silver warrior!
Lin Shuo silently pressed his eyebrows, suddenly feeling that he was a bit in doubt in this pre-selection competition.
Just by casually visiting the Beast Control Tower for a daily tower break, he encountered a pervert who had made a contract with two imperial races and was able to break through the fifth floor of the Beast Control Tower.
You must know that the number of tower levels has nothing to do with race level.
The emperor race is facing the same emperor race in the beast control tower, so breaking through the fifth floor of the beast control tower only shows that the opponent's two pet beasts are extremely terrifying in combat power among the emperor races.
If there were a few more perverts like this, he might not be able to get those two rankings in the preliminary competition.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, his ears moved.
With his five senses enhanced by his perfect physical fitness in the Body Refining Realm, he heard the faint discussion coming from ahead.
Among them, there is a keyword that he cares about very much.
"The Third Prince".
Speaking of which, the surname Yan seems to be the surname of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom.
Lin Shuo blinked and turned to look at the young man named Yan Sushen again.
So...this man is the prince of Dayan Kingdom?
Seemingly aware of Lin Shuo's gaze, Yan Sushen did not leave immediately after entering the Beast Control Tower. Instead, Yan Sushen, who stood aside and looked at the light curtain in front of the Beast Control Tower with interest, turned around and met Lin Shuo's eyes.
Then he noticed the ball on Lin Shuo's head, his eyes lit up slightly, he smiled at Lin Shuo, and then he turned his eyes back to the light screen.
call…
Lin Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
As a prince, the young man in front of him must have access to many more resources than he does. Maybe he can enter and exit the secret realm at will. It does not seem impossible to cultivate a pet beast to such an extent.
If such strong men are not the norm, then the situation is not as bad as you think.
"Give way!" A figure suddenly appeared next to Lin Shuo, interrupting Lin Shuo's thoughts.
He looked at the muscular young man with an unfavorable expression who appeared beside him at some point, touched his nose and took a few steps back.
They were probably passers-by who were passing by here, he thought, and then frowned slightly.
The man did not go through the long queue to the other side of the street as he expected, but stood directly in front of Lin Shuo, apparently preparing to enter the Beast Control Tower.
What's the meaning?
Lin Shuo blinked and then realized belatedly that the guy in front of him had jumped in line.
In just a moment, he was happy and angry.
He has been waiting in line for a while, and it's almost his turn. Someone jumps in line now?
So arrogant?
He glanced at the two pet beasts following the young man and raised his eyes.
Two races of high monarchs.
I'm so scared~
"Go back and line up." Rolling his eyes, Lin Shuo said angrily, and stretched out a hand to push the other person aside.
With this push, his expression moved slightly.
The body refining state is perfect.
Something.
But if he wanted to join his own team, he might have thought too much.
"You country bumpkin!" Unexpectedly, Lin Shuo would resist. The sturdy young man was stunned for a moment, and then a stern look flashed in his eyes, "I advise you to be honest, joining your team is to give you face, a low
When you wait for the monarch race, don’t you think about yourself?”
With that said, he returned to the position in front of Lin Shuo without hesitation.
However, the next moment, the strong young man's neck suddenly felt cold.
The dark silver gun blade was placed on his shoulder.
"For the last time, get out!"
Hearing the words "country boy", Lin Shuo could no longer hold back his anger.
At the same time, he also understood the reason why the other party dared to cause trouble for him.
Gui Gui is not easily discovered when he hides in the shadows, and on his head lies Shuang Hua Mengying, who appears to be just a lower-level monarch race.
In that guy's opinion, he was probably a soft persimmon who was easy to bully, and since he was a stranger from out of town, even if he jumped in line, he would probably be angry but dare not say anything.
It's a good idea, but it's a pity that I found the wrong person.
If this guy doesn't give in anymore, Lin Shuo doesn't mind poking two holes in his body.
