Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 201 The Competition is Coming
A few days later, when everyone was preparing for the New Year, a piece of news came out, which immediately caused a huge uproar.

"No way? Are you kidding me? The legendary beast in Tianshuangyuan actually took action? And wiped out the entire Fourth Legion?"

"Yeah, how could the Fourth Legion provoke a legendary beast?"

"Yes, yes, we have always respected the beast masters. How could something like this happen?"

The people of Xuan Country were stunned when they heard the news. What on earth was going on? Why would the legendary beast in Tianshuangyuan suddenly attack them?

In response to the questions raised by many people online, no official gave them an explanation.

Because now the top leaders of Xuan Kingdom are also worried about this matter. They were paving the road in Tianshuangyuan when suddenly the legendary beastmaster took action.

At the beginning, the legendary Beastmaster cleaned up the crazy Beastmasters. They were still happy that the journey ahead would finally be smooth. Then a legendary Beastmaster discovered that something was wrong with these Beastmasters and planned to clean them up to restore peace to Tianshuangyuan.

But they didn't expect that after the beasts were cleaned up, those guys would directly attack them. This was such an unexpected thing that they hadn't anticipated it at all, so they were wiped out before they could even react.

Upon hearing the sad news, the top leaders of Xuan Kingdom almost asked for the country's guardian beasts to take action, but after calming down, they gave up this impulsive idea.

Once they invite legendary beasts to enter Tianshuangyuan, it means declaring war on Tianshuangyuan. However, it is still unknown how many legendary beasts live there in Tianshuangyuan, which is larger than their territory.

Amidst this sad news, the only thing that made everyone feel somewhat relieved was that they were not the only country that was attacked this time.

The countries including Ling and Ming, which were all countries near Tianshuangyuan and wanted to get a piece of the pie, all encountered the legendary beasts in Tianshuangyuan. When these beasts saw them, they attacked directly without giving them time to react.

Moreover, even if they were given time to react, it would be useless against a legendary beastmaster; the opponent could kill them with just a kick.

In this incident, the only one who felt somewhat fortunate was Xu Tingting.

"Grawo, it's a good thing we didn't go this time, otherwise we would be doomed. Do you know about legendary beasts? They can easily take our lives." Xu Tingting came to Zhong Cong and said.

Fortunately, they didn't go with them at that time, otherwise they would have been doomed.

"Tianshuangyuan is the territory of the Beast Tamers after all. How could these guys make such a noise without being discovered by their master?" Zhong Cong yawned and said after hearing this.

There was nothing wrong with making a big fuss in Tianshuangyuan. They thought the beasts inside were dead. By doing this, weren't they just shitting on the beasts' heads? It would be a miracle if the beasts spared them.

Putting himself in his shoes, he thought there was nothing wrong with someone causing trouble on his territory.

Besides, wild beasts have bad tempers to begin with, not to mention they are legendary. Who would have nothing better to do than to reason with you when they are full?

"Grador, now that such a big thing has happened, what will the higher-ups do?" Xu Tingting asked worriedly.

After all, it’s an entire legion. Are the higher-ups planning to end this matter like this?

"I don't know." Zhong Cong yawned and said indifferently: "Besides, you are just an ordinary person, don't always care about these things."

"If you have the time, you should take good care of the little ones."

He is not a human being, so he is too lazy to worry about this matter. Besides, whether it is good or bad has nothing to do with him. If humans live well, then he can only survive for a few more years at most.

If the beastmaster is doing well, then he is the beastmaster, and there is nothing to worry about.

Anyway, if you can fight, fight. If you can’t fight, run away. There’s nothing that a divine beast like him is afraid of.

As the saying goes, when autumn comes on September 8th, my flowers bloom and all other flowers die.

Will he still be a coward at that time? Isn't he still the best in the world?

"Okay." Xu Tingting nodded after hearing this. Although she felt that Groudon's words were a bit narrow-minded, she could understand that Groudon was a beastmaster.

Thinking of this, Xu Tingting went back to take care of the little frost giant pig.

Things seemed to have come to an end, and the New Year was approaching quietly.

"Damn beastmasters, damn bastards, they actually dared to attack our troops. I will never let these bastards off."

"That's right. We can't just swallow this anger. Let's send out troops to sweep across Tianshuangyuan and completely incorporate him into our country."

In the meeting hall of the Ling State, news was received that the troops had been completely wiped out by the legendary beast.

The big-nosed high-ranking officials of the Ling Kingdom cursed angrily, saying that the whole world should listen to their country, but there were actually beast tamers who dared to go against them without knowing the consequences.

"Okay, enough of the big talk, it's time to talk about something more practical." The president, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the cursing people and said, "We have learned how dangerous Tianshuangyuan is this time. Even if we use all the power of the whole country, we may not be able to conquer Tianshuangyuan."

How big is the area of ​​Tianshuangyuan? At least it is larger than the area of ​​the countries built by humans now.

If they are smart, they can give it a try and see if they can win after mobilizing all the military forces of the country.
"So are we just going to leave it at that? We can bring in all the countries neighboring Tianshuangyuan to attack together."

"Yes, we can definitely attack Tianshuang's original territory."

The emotional congressmen said that it was not only their country that was attacked this time, and that other countries could definitely defeat it if they united.

"Do you think it's possible? Why would other countries join us in attacking Tianshuangyuan?" the president asked. Did these congressmen go too far in canvassing for votes? They don't use their brains anymore, right?

The resources contained in Tianshuangyuan are so rich, and it has been called a forbidden area since ancient times. You can see how dangerous it is.

Moreover, they did not attack the State of Ling when it was at its strongest. The implication is self-evident.

How could these idiots come up with such a stupid idea?

"How is it impossible? Our Ling Nation is committed to maintaining world peace and continuing human civilization."

"This attack on Tianshuangyuan is also for the dead soldiers. They are all living lives. This matter must not end like this." The parliamentarians spoke one after another, elaborating on human rights, freedom and life.

"Don't show off your foreign tactics here. If you really want to attack Tianshuangyuan, you can go by yourself. Don't bring the soldiers of the Ling Kingdom." The chairman of the House of Representatives looked at these members and said, "Anyway, you all have money to hire a mercenary group, and you can afford it."

He knew exactly what these idiots were planning, as many of them were in the arms business.

As long as the Ling Kingdom and Tianshuangyuan go to war, wouldn't that be giving them money? These selfish guys don't consider the consequences at all. As long as they have money, they can see anything.

"Yes, I heard that your business is doing well this year." The president said as he looked at the people who were speaking.

"No, Mr. President, you are joking."

"Yeah, yeah, it's just so-so."

The congressmen, who were full of enthusiasm, immediately smiled and said nothing more when they heard this, for fear that if they continued to speak, someone would come to check their accounts.

"Okay, let's get into the main topic of this meeting, which is how to remove polluted water and deal with the rampant beast disaster." After skipping this little episode, the president brought out what he wanted to talk about today.

Are we still going to attack Tianshuangyuan? Let's solve the drinking water problem for all the citizens first. Besides, the cities are often attacked by the wind beasts now, not to mention the towns.

The top priority should be to deal with these issues first.

Time flies, years pass, and in the blink of an eye it is the New Year.

"Boss, don't sleep any more. There will be a surprise in the New Year."

There were firecrackers going off outside and red stickers were all around.

Even the top of the volcano was covered with red lanterns. Zhong Cong, who heard the call of the Flame Pheasant, opened his eyes and yawned: "What does the New Year of humans have to do with me? Besides, there's nothing to see here."

Just celebrate the New Year. Can he really go into the room to celebrate the New Year?
Besides, he doesn’t have any relatives, so what does celebrating the New Year in this world have to do with him?

Sleep when it’s time to sleep and drink when it’s time to drink. In the blink of an eye, the past few years have passed.

"You can't say that. We will have red envelopes in the New Year, and it will be so joyful and lively." The Flame Pheasant heard this and said, "Why does the boss look so lazy? It seems that he hasn't woken up yet. Does the boss also need to hibernate? He has never heard that the dragon clan needs to hibernate."

"Come on, Tingting has so much money thanks to me, where do you think she gets the money from?" Zhong Cong said unhappily after hearing this. Without him, Tingting would be a loser now.

Not to mention money, even whether I can graduate is a problem.

"Well...you are really awesome, boss." After hearing this, the Flame Pheasant stopped talking immediately when he was about to say that there would be materials.

"Of course, but why didn't you go back with the Beast Tamer today during the New Year?" Zhong Cong said as he looked at the Flame Pheasant.

Anyway, why didn't this little chicken go back with Lanlan to celebrate the New Year? Why are they still here now?
Could it be that something big is happening to the Lava City Beast Tamer Association this year? Or is it that the Lava City Beast Tamer Association is not allowed to go home for the first year?

Hearing this, the Flame Pheasant said, "Lanlan said it's too troublesome to go home, so we'll celebrate the New Year here this year."

"Is that so? That's good, but you little guy, please don't bother me anymore." Zhong Cong looked at the Flame Pheasant and said, "I'm going to go back to sleep. If you have nothing else to do, just be quiet."

"Oh oh." The flame pheasant nodded, then flapped its wings and flew towards the hotel.

The hotel was decorated with lights and was very lively at this time.

It looks like they are preparing for the New Year.

"Flame Pheasant, didn't you call Groudon to come over? Why did you come back by yourself?" Lan Lan asked when she saw the Flame Pheasant coming back.

The New Year is coming soon, and it’s time for them to reunite. How can they be without Groudon?
"The boss said he has no interest and just wants to sleep now." The Flame Pheasant shook its wings and said helplessly. Wherever the boss slept was like a mountain, what could he do?
"Well, it seems that Groudon still likes to sleep." Lan Lan said helplessly after hearing this, then sat on the chair and prepared to eat.

"Tingting, do you want to go over and ask if Groudon can come over?" Yuan Shaofen said. She saw that the Flame Pheasant had failed to call Groudon over, so it seemed that Xu Tingting would have to go there in person.

"No need for that." Xu Tingting sighed and said, "Even the Flame Pheasant failed. It looks like Groudon won't come over."

It seems that Groudon is still angry about the military not paying him. But so much time has passed, isn't it time to take a break? Is it necessary to be angry for so long?

"Well, let's eat first." Since Xu Tingting said so, what could Yuan Shaofen do?
It would be even more impossible for her to go to Groudon, as Groudon would ignore her.

"Yeah." Xu Tingting nodded and replied, and everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year.

At the same time, in the heart of Xuan Country, around the entire city of Shicheng, the venue for the Beast Tamer Competition has been set up.

There are lush green forests, tranquil lakes, dead yellow sands, boiling active volcanoes, thunderstorms where lightning strikes from time to time, and bitingly cold frost.

The most incredible thing is that the ground is divided into black and white, as if the night is always night and the day is always day.

It seems as if the time in the outside world has no effect on this place anymore.

But only the presidents of the Beastmaster Association know how much effort they put in to make this place look like this?

After all, this is the heartland of Xuan Kingdom. How could there be such a phenomenon of polar day and polar night? The reason why this place is like this is...

It was all thanks to them that they had many beast masters constantly use the skills of Light Field and Mahakala to change the environment, and thus these small venues were temporarily created.

"After so much effort, we have finally gathered the ten venues needed for this Beast Tamer Competition."

"Yes, it took a lot of effort. Just the attributes here are enough to give me a headache. Fortunately, I have gathered all ten attributes here."

The presidents sitting on the backs of the big-mouthed swallows looked at the places below that had different attributes but covered a very large area and spoke.

The competition was only one month away, but they had spent nearly half a year preparing for everything here.

Only then were these ten venues built in the ten central cities.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that every attribute is very common. It is extremely difficult to build these places well. Only in the central area of ​​the country can so many attributes be gathered together.

Of course, although these places have so many attributes, they are not so big.

It was only because they let the beast masters release their skills that the venue was expanded to such a large extent.

"Well, next we just need to install the Sky Eye robots in these places and then announce to everyone when the competition will start." The president also spoke after hearing this.

After more than half a year of preparation, it is time to see their results take root and sprout.

This time, let everyone in the world take a good look at their work and let them know how terrifying the work of their Beastmaster Association is.

"That's right. We can announce it to the Beast Tamers who have been waiting for a long time after the New Year." The other presidents couldn't help but smile when they heard it.

A few days later, when people across the country were still immersed in the joy of the New Year, the Beast Tamer Association announced that this year's Beast Tamer Competition would begin on the seventh day of the first lunar month.

In this promotion, they specially broadcast the venue of the competition.

At the same time, the rules were announced. The rules are very simple. You don’t need to fight in a competition or compete with others for ranking, because the first person who passes a level will be the first, and those who pass later can only get second or third place.

That is to say, you not only have to pass these levels, but also have to do it quickly, otherwise you can only get second or third place.

"The Beast Tamer Association is really generous. They actually built so many training venues."

"Yes, they even built the dojos of light and darkness. I thought the ten levels they mentioned this time were just a joke, but I didn't expect they really had this ability."

Among the ten levels, which one is the most difficult to build? It's light and darkness. At least the other attributes can be found in nature and are easy to build.

However, light and darkness can only be achieved in a closed environment, but this time the Beastmaster Association has truly achieved this.

The impossible became possible, and dark and light training grounds were built.

Although I don't know how long these training grounds will last, there will definitely be no problem in maintaining them until the end of the competition.

"Tingting, it looks like you are going to work soon." Yuan Shaofen turned her eyes away from the TV and said to Xu Tingting beside her with a smile.

The seventh day of the first lunar month is just a few days away, and it seems that the Beast Taming Association is very confident about this competition. Of course, it is more likely that this is to test the results of their efforts.

It has been so long, they also want to know whether the rules set by their people will achieve the results they expected?
After all, when many people mention the Beast Tamer Competition, they will think of the words old-fashioned and boring. In fact, the number of people who actually watch the live broadcast of the Beast Tamer Competition is not as many as the number of people watching the National College League.

It can be said that although the Beastmaster Competition is of high value, it is not very popular among the people. But it is different now that it has been changed into a level-breaking mode.

It captured everyone's curiosity and the suspense of never knowing who can pass the 10 levels. It can be said that this was a bold attempt.

"Yes, now I just hope that Groudon won't go on strike at that time." Xu Tingting sighed when she heard this.

Groudon has started sleeping all the time recently. I hope he won't be angry when he hears that he has to go to work.

"Don't worry, you are not working for nothing this time. When Groudon finds out, he will definitely not do this." Yuan Shaofen advised with a smile, looking at the president who was running over. After Xu Tingting noticed it, she also looked over.

"Tingting, you have to set off early for this competition. First, you need to familiarize yourself with the venue, and second, you need to get to know the other gatekeepers." The president looked at Xu Tingting and spoke. Just now, a message came from the headquarters asking him to tell Tingting that it was time to set off.

He then hurried over and told Tingting the news.

"Do you know other checkpoint masters?" Xu Tingting was stunned when she heard this. After all, they would be guarding their own checkpoints for a month and it seemed that they would not meet each other often. Was there any need to know each other?
"Yes." The president said with a smile: "Those who are invited to be the gate masters of the Beast Tamer Competition are all very strong, at least they are very strong in taming beasts of certain attributes."

"Tingting, it won't be a disadvantage for you to get to know them. After all, you are going to be a legendary beastmaster in the future."

Beastmasters have their own circle. If you keep working in isolation, you won’t be able to become stronger. Getting to know more friends and communicating with each other will help you grow faster.

Tingting has been staying in the Beastmaster Association in recent years and has not traveled much. For her, this is a very good opportunity for communication.

"Okay, I understand." Xu Tingting nodded and said, "Since we are leaving tomorrow, I will go discuss this matter with Groudon first."

"Well, go ahead." The president said with a smile.

Xu Tingting walked out of the hotel and went to where Zhong Cong was lying: "Grawo, how are you feeling today? Are you feeling better?"

"You're in a normal mood today, what's wrong? Is there anything?" Hearing this, Zhong Cong asked with a yawn. After looking around and finding that there was no annoying jeep, he looked at Xu Tingting.

"Grundoo, do you still remember about the Beast Tamer Competition? Tomorrow the entire city will go to attend the Beast Tamer Competition's Leaders' Meeting." Xu Tingting said, with hope in her eyes.

"The more people you stop, the higher the reward. It's the Beast Tamer Competition, right?" Zhong Cong immediately remembered it after hearing it.

"Yes, that's it. So, Groudon, are you willing to go with me tomorrow?" Xu Tingting looked at Zhong Cong and said, "You promised me that you would go with me."

"Yeah, I remember now." Zhong Cong got up from the ground, shook off the lava on his body and said, "I will go with you, but you have to ask the association to prepare the reward. Remember, the grade cannot be too low."

"If the other stuff is too rubbish, they should just look for someone else."

Now that he wants to improve himself, those low-level materials are no longer useful. He needs at least legendary-level materials.

Therefore, don’t bring out materials that are too low-level to embarrass yourself, as he is too lazy to even look at them.

"The association said that all the materials given this time are high-level materials, and there will be no low-level materials." Xu Tingting said with a smile: "But as for how much material we will have by then? It depends on our ability."

"That's all." Zhong Cong nodded in satisfaction and said, "When you leave tomorrow, just send me directly to the Beast Taming Space. There's no need to wake me up again."

"Okay, I'll remember that." Xu Tingting said happily when she heard that. Fortunately, Groudon did not go back on his word.

Otherwise, she really didn't know what to do this time.
