Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 431 Obsidian Monument
The next morning, the rising sun penetrated the clouds and dispelled the thin morning mist. The golden light fell on the huge ancient capital base city, covering this ancient city with a layer of warm glow.

The No. 1 Battle Hall of the Ancient Capital Academy was already bustling with people.

As the largest battle hall in the school, it has always been used to host various beastmaster competitions.

Today, Yanhuang's annual university competition and the rare freshman competition kicked off. Team members from the top ten universities and two advanced universities gathered here, ready to embark on a series of fierce competitions.

Every student who can participate in the competition is a child of destiny, and every one of them is the top student in their school. It can be said that the annual school competition is a battle between the young generation of beastmaster geniuses in the entire Yanhuang.

In the battle hall.

The audience seats were bustling with people, and security personnel were busy maintaining order. These were the people who came to watch the game, most of whom were residents of the ancient capital base city, and most of them brought their children with them.

In addition to them, there are also many people from several nearby base cities. Since they are in the same state, it is relatively easy to travel between them.

As for audiences from further afield, such as those from other states, there are very few of them.

But no matter what, this is a large-scale competition broadcast live throughout Yanhuang, so there will still be some viewers from other states, mainly the freshman teams of the major participating universities.

That’s right, unlike the opening of the college competition which started in the morning, the opening of the freshman competition is also held here, but they start in the afternoon.

Therefore, this group of the most talented freshmen from various universities, unless there was a special reason, all came here to watch the game.

After all, for these young and talented beastmasters, the contestants of the academy competition are their future role models.

In the audience, in a row of seats on the east side, several young boys and girls were chatting happily, and on the clothes they were wearing, one of the emblems was the logo of Bingdu Academy.

"Xiyue, look, those are the seniors from our school. They are over there." A little girl with chubby cheeks pointed down and said excitedly.

Next to her, a long-haired girl with a cold face turned her head and took a look after hearing it. She paused for a moment before nodding, "Yes, Tiantian, I saw it."

Seeing her friend so calm, the chubby-cheeked girl Su Tiantian was not angry. She had already known Lin Xiyue's character very well.

"Xiyue, don't you have any other reaction? Those are the seniors on the school team. Those over there are also members of other school teams. This means they can represent their own school in the competition. Don't you want to?"

Facing her friend's words, Lin Xiyue's face remained calm. After a moment of thought, she blinked her eyes and said, "Aren't we?"

"Uh." Su Tiantian was stunned for a moment. They were all members of the freshman team of Bingdu Academy. Coming here seemed to be representing the academy to participate in the freshman competition. It seemed that there was no problem with what the other party said.

At this moment, a boy next to them turned around and said with a grin, "Su Tiantian, you are so amazing! Even my sister can't beat you."

Su Tiantian's cheeks puffed up when she heard this, and she said angrily, "Come on, Lin Xiyang, what your sister said is not wrong. Those of us participating in the freshman competition are also representing the school. But why do we seem to have an extra person here? I remember who it was, but we haven't even played in the elimination rounds, so we don't even qualify for the main competition."

After hearing this, Lin Xiyang smiled awkwardly. Among the six of them, he was indeed the only one who was not a participant in the main competition. If he had not specifically asked the teacher to stay, he would probably have returned to Bingdu by now.

Seeing Lin Xiyang like this, Su Tiantian's face lit up with pride, and she immediately asked, "Why are you staying here and not going back? Could it be that you want to see me perform in the competition later?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other three members of the Bingdu freshman team stopped their discussion and turned to look over, obviously quite interested in this.

"Uh." Lin Xiyang rolled his eyes at the other person and pretended to vomit. "I'm staying here because my sister is here. Of course, besides her, more importantly, a childhood friend of mine is also here. He also participated in the freshman competition. Maybe you will run into him later."

Upon hearing this news, the curiosity in the eyes of the others grew even more intense. Su Tiantian, after a brief thought, asked directly, "Childhood friend? You're not talking about the one who studied at the Magic City Academy, are you?"

As a good friend of Lin Xiyue, she learned a lot about Xiyue's childhood when chatting with her. She naturally also heard a thing or two about the fact that the other party had a childhood friend studying at the Magic City Academy.

"Yeah, that's right. Let me tell you, my childhood friend is much stronger than me in both talent and strength." Lin Xiyang raised his head and hummed.

Seeing this, Su Tiantian snorted, "That's for sure, if others can participate in the main competition, they must be better than you."

Seeing Lin Xiyang speechless, she continued, "But if he's from the Magic City Academy, then I'm really looking forward to it. By the way, do you know how strong he is?"

Faced with the question, Lin Xiyang kept his mouth shut and said nothing. Not to mention that he hadn't seen Ye Mo for a long time, even if he had seen him and knew his strength, he wouldn't have said it like that.

Lin Xiyue, who was sitting on the side, didn't have so many thoughts. She looked directly at Su Tiantian and thought for a long time before giving an answer: "Well, Ye Mo is very powerful. He was very powerful before. Now, I don't know."

Su Tiantian looked at her friend and shook her head seriously, feeling speechless. What was the difference between saying it and not saying it?

However, one of the other three freshman team members took out his phone and, after seeming to see something, immediately shouted, "Is this the person you're talking about? Ye Mo from Modu Academy."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over and saw that the information displayed on the other party's phone was exactly the relevant information about Ye Mo, a freshman at Magic City Academy.

"Ye Mo, a special student of the Demon City Academy, is estimated to be a fourth-level master beastmaster. His spirit pet is the Purple Giant Bear, a king race, and a fourth-level cultivator. His spirit pet is the Golden Eyed Spirit Cat, which is suspected to be a king race and a fourth-level cultivator. His third spirit pet is a giant dragon, which is suspected to be a high-level king race and a fourth-level cultivator."

"What the hell, what kind of monster is this? Three fourth-level spirit pets? Are they new?"

"So what if there are three? Only one spirit pet can be sent to the freshman competition. If the outcome is decided in one match, with Lin Xiyue's strength, she may be able to defeat the opponent."

"I'm so envious. I wonder when my spirit pet will be able to break through to the fourth level. Sigh."

Voices of surprise and envy rang out. Although they were all talented students who could participate in the freshman competition, they had to know that geniuses also had different levels. They felt this even more after coming here.

As the strongest freshmen of this year's Bingdu Academy, whether after awakening their star maps in high school or after the academy opened, they were all favored children of heaven, sought after by thousands of people.

Compared to them, the strength of other students in the same class in the school was simply too weak. But after arriving here, at the venue of the freshman competition, and seeing the information about freshmen from other schools that the teacher had given them, their confidence had largely faded.

The simplest point is that among the freshmen of Bingdu Academy, there is only one genius who has a fourth-level spirit pet, Lin Xiyue, while the other four participants in the main competition only have fourth-level combat power at most.

This kind of talent, in the eyes of Su Tiantian and the others, belongs to a monstrous existence. However, among the sixty-four people in this freshman competition, more than twenty of them are confirmed to have fourth-level spirit pets, which accounts for almost one-third of the total.

This was unimaginable in the past.

"Ye Mo, Ye Mo, I feel like I heard this name once yesterday. I think I heard it when we were having dinner with the seniors from the school team. Do you know?"

Scratching her head, Su Tiantian pursed her lips. Unable to figure it out, she looked at the others and asked.

Lin Xiyue shook her head, and so did the others.

Seeing this, Su Tiantian bit her lip, feeling more and more that she had heard this name before, as if a senior student had mentioned it last night.

But they were all on the school team, so why were they discussing the name? Duplicate names?
Just as she was thinking about it, the opening of the school competition had already begun in the venue of the museum.

There was nothing fancy about it. After all the contestants on the field took their seats in the rest areas of their respective schools, the current president of the Ancient Capital Academy personally flew to the podium and delivered a brief speech.

At the end, he loudly announced: "I declare that the 2119th University Competition has officially begun."

The powerful mental force spread along the sound waves to the entire battlefield. Whether it was the people in the audience or the university teams preparing for the game below the stage, they could all feel the powerful force contained in the sound.

After the official announcement of the start of the competition, in the huge battle hall, a huge black square monument was seen rising from the huge platform in the center. It was more than ten meters high and sat quietly like a small hill. There were dozens of lines engraved on it from high to low, making it look extremely mysterious.

At this moment, everyone's attention was unconsciously drawn to it. Its dark appearance seemed to be full of mystery.

"Is that the obsidian tablet used for psychic testing?" someone asked curiously.

"Can that thing really test the power of skills?" someone asked doubtfully.

Amidst the bustling discussion, many people recognized the raised square monument and began to introduce it, while many who heard it began to doubt its capabilities.

You have to know that spirit pets have a variety of skills, different attributes, and different attack methods. If you really want to judge whose skills are more powerful, the difficulty is beyond imagination. Even if a more powerful beastmaster comes here, he may not be able to accurately judge its strength.

But this is just a dead object, can it really have such power?
Inside the battle hall, in the rest area of ​​the Magic City Academy.

Liao Jinxin, who was participating in the school competition for the first time, looked at the huge black tablet and asked curiously, "Teacher, how does that tablet determine the power of skills?"

Sun Mingzhe, Jin Bowen, and even Ye Mo all turned to look at the teacher, waiting for his reply.

"Even if you ask me that, I don't know. I only know that the obsidian tablet isn't from our world." Teacher Guo Yan smiled, adjusted his glasses, and continued:

"All you need to know is that it can truly distinguish the power of a pet's skills, whether it's an energy attack, a life attack, or a mental attack."

After saying this, he briefly explained to the students the scoring criteria for the Obsidian Stele.

Unlike people's scoring, the evaluation of the Obsidian Square Monument is very simple. As long as the attack released on it can make the light emitted by the Obsidian Square Monument light up the first pattern, one point will be obtained. Similarly, lighting up the fifth pattern will give five points.

According to the teacher, in the past, in order to activate the light of a pattern, it would require the fourth-level spiritual pet of the race to burst out with all its strength, and the difficulty would increase slightly with each subsequent activation of a pattern.

For example, lighting up the five lines is the highest level that an ordinary domain-level spirit pet can reach when it bursts out with all its strength. Anything higher can only be achieved by powerful spirit pets that have been immersed in the domain level for a long time.

After hearing this, Ye Mo lowered his head, thinking deeply. According to this scoring standard, even if a genius with outstanding talent appeared in a certain school, it would be difficult for the school to get very good results in the psychic test.

What we really need to look at is the overall strength of the members of each university team.

"Look, the psychic test has begun. The first to take the stage are from Yunteng Academy in Nanzhou. It's a high-level academy. Although it can't compare to our top schools, the fact that they can make it here is enough to prove their strength."

Teacher Guo Yan turned his head to look at the opposite platform, looking at the five boys and girls wearing white school uniforms, and gave a serious lecture.

After hearing this, Ye Mo and others looked over.

To be honest, not many of them know the name of Yunteng Academy, and they don't care much about it.

After all, it is just a senior institution. Even if the other party is a senior institution that has emerged from hundreds of institutions, its strength is unlikely to be that high.

In the college entrance examination every year, the beastmasters with outstanding talents have long been captured by the top ten universities, and the only ones that other high-level universities can snatch are those left by the other side.

Of course, in addition to those people, there are some people who come because the conditions offered by advanced institutions are good enough, which can still attract some talented students to join, but the number is still too small.

Moreover, the faculty of top universities is far from comparable to that of advanced universities, not to mention resources and the like.

Simply put, in the vast majority of top-tier schools, a fifth-level king-class beastmaster can only serve as a teacher. On the other hand, in most high-level schools, with this fifth-level cultivation, it is more than enough for him to serve as a principal.

Under such circumstances, how could an advanced institution possibly cultivate a truly powerful beastmaster?
