Beast Tamer: The pet is just to help me build a bond

Chapter 485 The most promising year [Subscription required]

The match between Sichuan University and Paris is the final match of the team competition round of 16.

Therefore, as soon as they finished the game, the list of the top eight in the team competition appeared.

In the upper half, Moscow State University pulled off an upset which was not a surprise, sweeping past Berlin University as the runner-up in the group and eliminating them.

In addition, the other group leaders, University of Washington, University of Rome and Imperial Beastmaster, all defeated their opponents and advanced to the quarterfinals.

In the lower half, no accidents occurred.

Nishikawa University, University of Tokyo, Kyoto University and Phoenix University all won and advanced to the quarterfinals.

After the game, Chinese commentator Fang Xing gave an excited summary.

"The global competition round of 16 has finally come to an end, and the top eight rosters have all been announced!"

"In the singles competition, our players performed well. Chen Wen from Sichuan University and Liu Yu from Beijing University both made it to the quarterfinals."

"In the team competition, our team also performed well. Both Kyoto University and Kawasaki University defeated their respective strong opponents and advanced to the next round."

"On the world's top stage, in this core finals, we still have two top teams and two of the strongest beastmasters of the new generation fighting."

"I have to say, this year is the year when China has the best chance of winning the championship!"

China's beast taming has developed very rapidly, and its overall strength is not inferior to other top beast taming powers. However, its results in the Global College Beast Tamer Competition are not very good.

Whether it is a single player competition or a team competition, the best result is only runner-up.

This is not because there are no people in China.

On the one hand, China's beastman education reform started later than other countries, resulting in the Beastman University being weaker than other countries' beastman universities.

On the other hand, it is due to national policy.

The resources of pet animals abroad are basically monopolized by high-level officials. Although this has cut off the path to advancement for many ordinary people, the concentration of resources has indeed allowed many animal trainers of wealthy tycoons and nobles to stand out.

Apart from anything else, as long as the children of the English royal family awaken their talent for taming beasts, they can contract a pet with epic potential.

Talent suddenly pales in comparison to money.

But it is different in China, where ordinary people also have the opportunity to contract a pet with epic potential.

However, since epic potential pets are relatively rare, the rules formulated by China are relatively strict, which makes it difficult for many people to contract epic potential pets in the early stages.

Even if they could obtain one through a contract, they would usually only be able to obtain one or two epic potential pets, which was not as good as those obtained by the royal nobles of other countries.

Given the large difference in the qualifications of the pets, it is understandable that the Chinese college students did not win the championship.

After listening to the passionate words of his partner Fang Xing, Gu Gu suddenly expressed a different opinion: "I don't think this year is the most promising year."

"what?"

Fang Xing was full of confusion, and looked at his partner in surprise who was singing a different tune from him.

Gu Gu straightened his chest and smiled confidently, "I think there will be more hope in two years. By then, the ones representing us will be Chen Wen, a junior, and Dongfang Jue, a senior. They are already so powerful now. In two years, won't they soar to the sky and be unstoppable?"

Fang Xing smiled when he heard this, and then seemed to have thought of something, and said: "That's true... But let's focus on the present!"

As an expert beastmaster, he knows more.

……

On the bus to the hotel, Gong Zikun and others sang and danced, discussing what to have for dinner in the evening.

With Sichuan University's strength and background, advancing to the quarterfinals was a complete accomplishment. Liu Jianguo was so happy that he decided to treat everyone to a big meal before leaving Chicago.
After everyone had made their decision, Liu Jianguo called Chen Wen to his side. Chen Wen walked over to Liu Jianguo and sat down, looking at his principal curiously.

Liu Jianguo asked with a smile: "How do you feel about reaching the quarterfinals in both the individual and team competitions?"

Chen Wen chuckled and said, "I'm quite happy."

Liu Jianguo could see that Chen Wenben was not complacent with his current achievements, he was just simply happy, and he couldn't help but nod slightly.

"very good!"

He first looked at Chen Wen affirmatively, and then asked, "Do you still remember the conditions when Zhao Zhen recruited you?"

"Of course!"

Chen Wen nodded directly, then smiled confidently and said, "Isn't it just standing on the podium of the global competition? Don't worry, I will not only stand on the podium, but also stand on it several times."

Although his opponents are strong, he is confident that he can win a medal in the singles event this year.

As for the team competition, he was not absolutely sure.

But if he fails this session, there is still the next one. He will only be a junior then and he will still have a chance to participate.

With the speed at which his strength is improving, he might become a master-level beast tamer by then. Wouldn't it be easy for him to win the championship and medal?
Liu Jianguo looked at Chen Wen with interest, and then said, "I'm not surprised that you can win a medal in the singles competition, but I didn't expect you to be so confident that you can lead Sichuan University to the podium right now."

Although the captain of Sichuan University is Gong Zikun, everyone knows that Chen Wen is the team leader and the real core.

"Now?"

Chen Wen looked puzzled and frowned, "It's still difficult to win a medal in this year's team competition. Will it be possible next time?"

He still has self-knowledge. No matter how strong Po is, he is just a rare-level pet and there is still a possibility that he may be targeted.

The probability of Sichuan University winning a medal relying solely on this pet is not very high.

He wanted to make progress in both the individual and team competitions, but he was also mentally prepared for failure.

Liu Jianguo did not answer his question, but instead asked, "Do you feel that there are very few expert beastmasters on Earth?"

Chen Wen thought about it and nodded.

Judging from the quality of graduates from major universities, a large number of professional and elite beastmasters enter the society every year.

Even if these beast masters are not particularly talented, they should be able to become experts in ten or twenty years.

However, in reality, expert beastmasters are rarely seen outside of major universities.

Even within colleges and universities, expert beastmasters are common, and many of their teachers are sometimes there and sometimes not.

Chen Wen thought about it for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do they often go to the secret realm?"

“Not only the lower secret realm, but also the garrisoned secret realm.”

Liu Jianguo corrected him, and then asked, "Do you know why so many beast masters don't enjoy the life of a trusted confidant with a wife, children, and warm bed, but instead run to the secret realm to fight for life and death?"

Chen Wen thought about it for a moment and said, "Defend our country!"

Liu Jianguo looked at Chen Wen after hearing this, and then said: "There are indeed such conscious beast masters, but most of them are for resources."

At this point, he asked again: "Then do you know what resources they are craving for?"

Chen Wen did not answer this time, but looked directly at Liu Jianguo and said, "Please help me, Principal."
