Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 438 Taking the stage again
In the lobby of Villa No. 2 of Modu Academy.

This is the residence of the freshman team. Although Ye Mo has always been accustomed to living in the villa next door, he also has a room here. After all, he is also a member of the freshman team.

"The opening test for the freshman competition will be held this afternoon. The content of the test will be the same as in the morning, except that the obsidian tablet used for the test will be smaller, and it will be able to accurately measure the strength of a third-level spirit pet."

Yan Yelin looked at the five freshman team members in front of him and said affably, "You've seen the test of the school competition this morning. Ye Mo even participated in it, so back then you just had to give it your all, just like those school members did."

Bai Tingting, who was eating fruit by the coffee table, heard this and quickly began chewing. After swallowing a mouthful, she looked up and asked curiously, "Teacher, but our freshman competition is a one-on-one competition, right? If I reveal my strongest trump card during the test, I'll be at a disadvantage when the fight starts later."

When Wang Ruolong, Sun Guanyu and Yi Ranran heard this, they all felt that it made sense and immediately turned their attention to the teacher.

At this moment, Ye Mo was lying leisurely on the sofa, dozing off. The Star Chart Release of the Beast Taming Skill he released in the morning had consumed a lot of his energy, so he had to take a break for a while.

The others also knew this, so they specially left a sofa for him to lie down alone.

"The psychic test is to test the power of your pet's skills. You are asked to give it your all, but it only allows your pet to unleash its most powerful attack. In this case, not much information will be revealed."

After Yan Yelin finished speaking, he shook his head and looked at Bai Tingting and the others, then continued, "You must understand that in the freshman competition, what matters most is your actual strength."

"Let me put it this way. Wang Ruolong and Yi Ranran are still at level three. Making it to the top thirty-two in this freshman tournament is pretty impressive. As for Bai Tingting and Sun Guanyu, your spirit pets have both broken through to level four. But based on the information we have, there's a good chance you'll make it to the top sixteen. Beyond that, it's hard to say."

"So, if you want to go further in this freshman competition, you'd better get good scores on the psychic test."

After a pause, Yan Yelin's tone became more serious. "As you all know, the test for the freshman competition is the same as the one for the university competition. The psychic test results also determine your opponent in the next match. So only if you have a high test score can you face a weaker opponent in the first round."

"This way, your chances of winning the next battle will be higher, and the battle time will be shorter."

What he said made sense. Compared with the test results of the college competition, the test results of the freshman competition were relatively more important because it not only determined the strength of the next opponent, but was also likely to determine the strength of the opponents after that.

Because after the sixty-four to thirty-two matches are over, the subsequent battles are arranged according to the end time of the game, that is, the one with the shortest winning time will fight against the one with the longest winning time.

In this case, if you encounter a weaker opponent in the first battle, you will naturally be able to end the battle faster, and the cycle will continue, thus achieving higher results.

After hearing this, Bai Tingting, Wang Ruolong and others were thoughtful, while Sun Guanyu pondered for a moment and asked directly: "Teacher, should I release the star map to liberate it?"

Star Map Liberation is the strongest trump card of a fourth-level master beastmaster. If it is released during the spirit pet test, it is almost equivalent to revealing most of his trump cards.

Although the teacher told him to try his best to get good grades in the test, but as one of the only two geniuses among the freshmen of the Magic City Academy who had a fourth-level spirit pet when he entered school, and the only one in the current freshman team besides Ye Mo who had broken through the forty-level Beast Tamer level, he was still very confident that he could get good grades in the test even without revealing his cards.

Star map liberated! Bai Tingting, Wang Ruolong, and Yi Ranran all showed a hint of envy when they heard this, especially Bai Tingting. Although she also had a fourth-level spirit pet, her Beast Tamer level had been stuck at level 39 and she had been unable to break through for a long time.

After all, there is still a clear gap between the talents of the Seven Star Chart and the Eight Star Chart.

As for Ye Mo, he was a monster in the world. Bai Tingting didn't even think of comparing herself with him. After all, only when the gap was small would one feel envy and jealous, but if the gap was too big, then one could only look up to him.

"Hmm." Facing Sun Guanyu's question, Yan Yelin thought for a moment before answering, "According to intelligence, there are thirteen contestants in this freshman competition who possess fourth-level spirit pets, including the three of you."

"And if we include those who are hidden or those who have recently broken through, the number of contestants with fourth-level spirit pets is likely to exceed sixteen."

"In this case, you do have a lot of opponents, so you can consider not using Star Map Liberation. However, how you decide is up to you."

"I've already explained the pros and cons, and I'm well aware of your strength. I'm quite confident in the 64-to-32 match. You can decide for yourself."

After saying this, Yan Yelin turned his gaze to Bai Tingting and the other three, gave them some serious instructions, and then went on to talk a lot about the freshman competition.

Not long after, when Ye Mo, who was lying on the sofa, was almost asleep, Yan Yelin turned his gaze over.

"Ye Mo, I really don't have much to say about your words. After all, with your strength, as long as there are no monsters like you in other schools, the championship position will definitely belong to you."

"All I can say is that I hope you take every battle seriously and don't be too careless."

At this point, Yan Yelin seemed to remember something and continued, "By the way, Ye Mo, because of your performance this morning, someone from the competition team specifically told me that although you will be going to the battle hall this afternoon, you don't need to summon a spirit pet for the test like everyone else."

"After all, you've already taken the test this morning, so just go through the motions. Your score will still be calculated based on your morning result."

Hearing this, Ye Mo opened his eyes, looked at the teacher, and nodded slightly.

If that's the case, then it would be a lot easier. After all, he still hasn't recovered from the energy consumption of releasing the star map this morning.

But then again, this didn't matter to him. After all, he still had two pets. With the strength of Bai Ling and Isaac, no matter which one played, the results would not be too bad.

………………

In the afternoon, at the Ancient Capital No. 1 Battle Hall.

After the psychic test of the school competition in the morning, the battle hall was still bustling with people and the atmosphere was lively.

Under the sunlight, the entire venue was bright and transparent, and the auditorium was packed. Students, parents and children all had excitement and anticipation on their faces.

A number of security personnel were arranged in the venue to maintain order. Among them were many young people who could be seen at a glance as being of school age. It went without saying that these people were students of the Ancient Capital Academy.

On the central platform of the battle hall, a square obsidian monument, which was slightly smaller than the one in the morning, stood tall. The patterns on the monument glowed mysteriously under the light, as if waiting to be lit.

The air was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere, and occasional whispers could be heard from the audience.

"This is a freshman competition, and it's only held once every few years. And this time, it happens to be held in our ancient capital. We're so lucky."

"It's said that a freshman competition is only held when there are enough talented freshmen. I wonder what kind of talented beastmaster will emerge in this year's competition." "A genius beastmaster? If you ask me, Ye Mo from the Magic City Academy this morning is a genius. He broke the record in the academy's competition and scored a perfect score. He's the only one like him in decades."

"This is a freshman competition, not a college competition. Why are you saying that? But now that you've mentioned it, I'm looking forward to the college competition later."

"What's so good about the university competition? They're all too strong. Last time, I was almost blinded by it. Without commentary, I had no idea what was going on most of the time. I'd say the freshman competition is definitely more exciting. Even though the players are a bit weaker, it's much clearer to see."

"Heh, if you can't see the university competition clearly, the freshman competition is probably about the same. After all, the combat level in the freshman competition can reach the fourth level."

"What? Level 4? Don't try to trick me. Aren't they all freshmen? They've only awakened the Star Chart for a year, right? How can they be so strong?"

"I've watched the freshman competition before. Not to mention fourth-tier combat power, I've seen quite a few fourth-tier spirit pets and fourth-tier beastmasters in the past."

"Hiss... Is this a genius? I've been stuck at the second level of the Awakening Star Chart for over a decade. I really have nothing to say."

At this moment, the venue suddenly became dark. Although the sun was still standing in the sky, the light it was shining seemed to be swallowed up.

But soon, the light gathered on the platform in the center of the venue. At this time, a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe slowly walked onto the stage. His face was majestic and his eyes were sharp. He was the principal of the Ancient Capital Academy - Qin Yue.

As a sixth-rank beastmaster, although he is not very old, his fame is known to every household in the entire ancient capital.

Like the ghost fog disaster incident in the ancient capital ten years ago, when other powerful people in the ancient capital were trapped, it was he who single-handedly stopped thousands of ghosts and bought enough time for others to escape, thus successfully saving the ancient capital.

In addition, whenever there were any major dangerous incidents around the ancient capital in the past fifteen years, he would always appear to suppress them. It was precisely because of this that he was able to gain a reputation in the ancient capital that was higher than that of a legend with his sixth-level strength.

"Dear guests, dear students, welcome to the opening test of the Yanhuang Alliance Freshman Tournament." Qin Yue's voice was transmitted throughout the venue through his mental power, and his tone was low and powerful.

The audience instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Yue.

Ye Mo, Bai Tingting and others who were in the rest area below the venue at this moment also turned their heads to look over.

"Is this a skill or the control of mental power?" Ye Mo looked over unconsciously and thought to himself. He was thinking about other things just now, but as soon as the other party spoke, he was completely attracted.

If his mental strength had not also begun to transform and sublimate, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Next, Qin Yue stepped onto the platform and began to give a speech for this competition. The content was obviously old-fashioned and not much different from the speeches given by the leaders when Ye Mo was in junior high and high school, but Ye Mo listened to it very carefully and was deeply touched.

Finally, Qin Yue swept his eyes across the entire audience, paused slightly, and raised his voice: "Now, I declare - the opening test of the freshman competition has officially begun!"

As Qin Yue's voice fell, the light condensed on the platform dissipated instantly, and the sun's light in the sky finally shone down, making the previously dim environment bright in an instant.

At the same time, warm applause and cheers broke out in the audience, and the atmosphere suddenly reached a climax.

"It's finally started!" a little child shouted excitedly.

"I wonder who will be the first to go on stage? Which school will it be?" a mother asked curiously, and next to her, a little boy who had just started school was standing in his seat and looking around curiously.

At this moment, the referee's voice spread throughout the venue through spiritual power: "First tester, Ye Mo from the Magic City Academy, please come on stage!"

As soon as the words came out, many audience members in the audience were stunned and did not react for a while.

A moment later, there was a commotion in the audience.

"Ye Mo? Isn't that the Ye Mo from this morning?"

"That guy this morning was so strong, how could he be a freshman?"

"Modu Academy, no problem. The record-breaking Ye Mo this morning is also from Modu Academy. It's impossible for there to be two Ye Mos at Modu Academy this time, right?"

"Could it be a duplicate name? But the probability is too low."

Amidst cries of surprise and doubt, and under everyone's gaze, a young man walked out of the venue and slowly walked towards the testing platform.

When people saw the appearance of the young man, the whole venue suddenly became boiling.

"It's really the Ye Mo from this morning! I still remember what he looked like."

"How can there be such a genius? This is too outrageous."

"What's going on? Who's that person on stage? Why are you so excited?"

"Did you watch it this morning? He was the first place winner in the school competition this morning."

"Ah? What!"

Amidst countless excited, shocked, and incredulous gazes, Ye Mo stepped briskly and soon climbed onto the platform and arrived in front of the obsidian square monument.

Glancing at the excited audience in the auditorium, Ye Mo's face remained calm and expressionless.

As this was his second time at this position, he was already used to it.

The obsidian stele next to it was different from the previous one, but after looking at it a few more times, he lost interest because it was exactly the same as what the teacher said, a simplified and smaller version of the test stele in the morning.

After letting out a light breath, Ye Mo stood there calmly, waiting quietly for the referee's words.
