Chapter 287: Chapter 274: You’re Still Young, There Are Plenty of Opportunities

The male examiner’s face flickered with change, and he turned his head to ask, "Can you introduce your sister to me?"

Wu Ding glared at him, "What the hell are you thinking!"

Male Examiner: "..."

...

As soon as the female examiner with the low ponytail entered the arena, the Beast Tamers waiting for their exams immediately stirred.

"Didn’t expect it to be Examiner Wen, looks like this kid has no hope..." The words were sympathetic, but the speaker’s tone could hardly conceal their schadenfreude.

"How come Wen Lei suddenly stepped in? It’s my turn after the next, I hope she won’t be the examiner then?!"

"I’ve been watching since I came in, not a single person has passed under her, this girl is doomed."

"Come on, it can’t be that bad. The Flame Listening Dog is a Fire Attribute Beast after all. It’s just an E-rank Beast Tamer qualification, shouldn’t be too much of a problem."

"Is this your first time taking the exam?" the man sitting next to him in a white T-shirt asked.

The boy was startled, "Yes, what about it?"

"That explains it." The man in the white T-shirt explained, "Basically, anyone who has taken the exam once knows about Examiner Wen. Almost no one has ever gotten the E-rank Beast Tamer qualification under her watch."

"The strength of an examiner is not weak, and they will adjust how much they ’hold back’ based on the level of the exam. But Wen Lei, she never holds back."

This statement left the boy utterly stunned. With the examiner’s strength on display, even if they sent out a mid-level Pet Beast to battle, their combat experience and skill proficiency would be levels above the exam taker’s.

If she doesn’t ’hold back,’ how could it possibly be passed!

In the moment he came to understand the situation, the boy looked at Qiao Sang with deep sympathy.

On the field.

"Let’s begin."

As soon as the two Pet Beasts were in position, Wen Lei spoke.

Having said that, she waited for Qiao Sang to make the first move.

It wasn’t that Wen Lei didn’t want to attack first, but she was worried that if she did, the opponent might not be able to bring out more of the Flame Listening Dog’s true strength, and it would possibly be defeated in no more than two moves.

"Alright."

Qiao Sang was incredibly calm.

Although Shi Gaofeng had told her that the examiner before her was known as "don’t even think about passing," in the case where they both had mid-level Pet Beasts, she had enough confidence in Yaobao.

"Yaobao," Qiao Sang said calmly, "end this quickly."

"Yaobao!" Yaobao immediately understood and lifted its head to let out an excited cry, stirring up a wave of heat around it.

Swift Ear Cat, the evolved form of Long Ear Cat, definitely ranks among the top five for speed among mid-level Pet Beasts in the Yuhua Region... Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with the data of her opponent’s Pet Beast.

Had it been a month earlier, she might not have been absolutely confident, but now...

"Damn! What skill is this?!"

"It looks like Blazing Charge! But how could Blazing Charge be this grand!"

"Proficiency! It’s due to proficiency!"

Inside the exam arena, everyone exclaimed in amazement, with the Beast Tamers seated in the back rows jumping to their feet.

They saw the Flame Listening Dog on the field enveloped entirely in a crimson blaze, fiery shadows flickering around it, the flames distorting the scenery in the distance when seen through them.

At this moment, the flames and the Flame Listening Dog seemed to fuse into one.

It didn’t seem like the Flame Listening Dog was using a fire skill, but rather that the flame was a natural part of its body, born to burn upon it!

Before the crowd could finish marveling at the move’s splendor, the Flame Listening Dog had already vanished like a phantom from its spot.

"Doppelganger!" Seeing the shadowy figure rushing like lightning, Wen Lei’s pupils shrank, and she quickly gave her command.

She took a deep breath, adjusting her suddenly surging adrenaline.

Mystique!

This was a Mystique Level Blazing Charge!

Such a degree of proficiency appearing on a mid-level Pet Beast!

Wen Lei’s mind was momentarily dazed, but fortunately, her rich combat experience and exceptional psychological quality allowed her to react immediately.

Two identical Swift Ear Cats suddenly appeared on the field.

Wen Lei sighed in relief as she saw the Swift Ear Cat execute Doppelganger before the Flame Listening Dog’s onslaught, but the next second, her mouth dropped open, and her eyes widened in shock.

"Whoosh!"

The blazing shadow in front of her, moving swiftly with the sound of the wind, did not hesitate or stop. Instead, it split into two as soon as the Swift Ear Cat used Doppelganger!

"Bang!!!"

The next second, two Swift-ear Cats, indistinguishable from each other, were sent flying more than ten meters away by a shadowy figure and hit the wall outside the arena!

"Swift-ear..."

Both Swift-ear Cats fell to the ground; one dissipated into nothingness, while the other passed out completely.

"Hiss!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

Instant defeat!

If Wen Lei had instantly defeated the underage girl with the Flame Listening Dog, they wouldn’t have been so shocked, but the one who was defeated was Wen Lei herself!

This was Wen Lei, the so-called "Unpassable" Wen Lei!

"Do you think Examiner Wen might have thrown the match?"

"I don’t think so; who could withstand that Blazing Charge from the Flame Listening Dog?"

"Let’s not talk about why the Blazing Charge is so terrifying for now. How did it use Doppelganger during the charge? That’s a combination skill, right?"

"Terrifying, too terrifying! This doesn’t look like an assessment for an E-rank Beast Tamer..."

People whispered among themselves, not daring to speak too loudly, lest Wen Lei overhear them.

This terrifying girl could pass Wen Lei’s assessment, but they couldn’t.

Wu Ding and the male examiner wearing a black baseball cap didn’t have such worries.

The male examiner swallowed hard and said, "Did you see that? It’s a combination skill, and that girl and her Flame Listening Dog are so in sync they don’t even need specific commands."

"I saw." Wu Ding said absentmindedly, "Mystique Level Blazing Charge, good thing I didn’t go up just now..."

"Yeah..." the male examiner said.

It was one thing to want to fight the Flame Listening Dog, but quite another to be absolutely dominated in front of so many people...

For a moment, Wu Ding and the male examiner were actually quite grateful to Wen Lei.

At least, they’d managed to save face.

At that moment, Wen Lei stood there, dazed, with a puzzled look on her face.

She had lost just like that?

"Did I pass the assessment?" Qiao Sang asked when "Unpassable" had not spoken for a long time.

Wen Lei turned her head, looking as if she had just snapped back to reality.

With an extremely complicated expression, she glanced at Qiao Sang and said with difficulty, "You passed."

...

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Qiao Sang walked out of the examination arena with Yaobao.

"Yao..." Yaobao drooped its tail, looking listless.

Shi Gaofeng, excited, went up to meet them, but he paused when he saw the Flame Listening Dog.

That expression, could it be that they didn’t pass?

"Qiao Sang, your examiner wasn’t ’Unpassable,’ was it?" Shi Gaofeng asked cautiously.

"How did you know?" Qiao Sang asked curiously.

As expected... Shi Gaofeng patted Qiao Sang on the shoulder and sighed, "It’s okay if you didn’t pass. You’re young; there will be more opportunities."

Qiao Sang said matter-of-factly, "Who told you I didn’t pass?"

Shi Gaofeng expressed his surprise, "You passed?"

"I did." Qiao Sang nodded.

"Then why does your Flame Listening Dog look like that?" Shi Gaofeng asked.

Qiao Sang glanced at Yaobao, who was looking downcast, spread his hands and said, "It’s nothing. I thought we could have a good fight, but it ended too quickly, so that’s why it’s like this."

"Yao..."

Yaobao nodded, showing a sad face.

Wanting to have a good fight, and it was so hard to get one.

Shi Gaofeng:
