My Card Beast Taming Game

To confirm this, one must rely on forests and lakes.

Zhou Chen made a mark on the map, "We're getting close to the inner layer, so the chances of running into monsters with other teams are lower. Next, we'll continue circling horizontally and try to defeat as many monsters as possible before the exam ends."

"Yes!"

Several people responded.

This time he gave us a very long break, almost half an hour.

Xing Keji and the others were somewhat surprised, considering that they had previously considered ten minutes of rest to be a lot. Zhou Chen's energy was simply too abundant, something they couldn't match at all.

Half an hour of meditation was indeed enough for their mental and physical strength to recover to their best state.

Zhou Chen stepped on the gas and said, "Hold on tight! Let's go!"

However, as the saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.

Before they even encountered the first wave of monsters, a very loud, strange cry suddenly came from the far distance, and a giant shadow vaguely appeared.

"Waaaaah—!!"

"what?"

Xing Keji immediately grabbed his binoculars to look, but the distance was too great, and several groves of trees blocked the view, making it impossible to see clearly. "Some kind of monster?"

Gu Xiaobo said, "Could it be a Gold-rank monster?"

"Gold tier?"

Qin Yulan and Kaori Utsunomiya couldn't sit still any longer.

They absolutely do not believe they have the strength to fight against Gold-rank monsters, and if they encounter such a level, they would definitely run as far away as possible.

Zhou Chen naturally understood that the exam was not a dungeon crawler, so he decisively turned the steering wheel and drove further away.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, just run.

At this moment, the Log Bird, which had only spoken after the war, finally spoke.

"Triggering a challenge mission, severely injuring a Gold-tier monster, and successfully defeating it will grant an additional reward of 100 points."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately exchanged bewildered glances.

"A challenge mission?"

Xing Keji pondered, "I think I've heard of this before."

Gu Xiaobo said, "A seriously injured Gold-rank is still a Gold-rank! We already have such high scores, there's no need to take this risk!"

Qin Yulan and Kaori Utsunomiya both expressed their agreement.

Su Xuanzhen's team played so well, but their score was only 600, while theirs was over 1000. There was no need for them to take this risk.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen suddenly stepped on the brakes.

"Severely injured Gold-rank..."

"Old Zhou, you don't want to fight, do you?" Xing Keji's eyes widened. "There's no need! Even if you turn a Gold-rank monster into a card, it'll only add up to 280 points including bonus points. It's not worth it!"

Gu Xiaobo advised, "Yes, Commander, a mere 280 points, we can get it in an hour."

Qin Yulan said, "Gold-tier monsters are too dangerous; one wrong move and your life could be in danger."

Kaori Utsunomiya silently watched Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen turned his head and said, "I'll go alone. You guys wait here."

"what!"

Xing Keji reacted even more strongly, shouting, "You want to fight me one-on-one?!"

Zhou Chen nodded calmly, "Yes, since the Divine Capital Academy has set up this challenge, it means that it is possible to be defeated by the examinees. I have no reason not to give it a try."

He finally understood why there was a "golden tier" in the scoring rules; it turned out to be a challenge mission.

Seriously injured, and during the exam at the Divine Capital Academy.

He had wanted to have the Black-feathered White Ape fight a Gold-tier monster for a long time, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity.

With such a golden opportunity before him, he had no reason to give it up.

Even if the points for defeating this Gold-tier monster have to be shared with others.

Zhou Chen opened the car door and said, "I'm leaving the old police car to you. I'll be right back. You guys stay here and don't need to risk your lives with me."

"Don't go, Lao Zhou! Oh my god! Is this some kind of rebellious phase overdone by meditation?"

Xing Keji was utterly impressed. He ignored the SUV and chased after Zhou Chen, who was striding away.

The three people who remained in the car, including Gu Xiaobo, remained silent.

Chase?

This could be a matter of life and death!

Suddenly, Kaori Utsunomiya got out of the car and bowed to the two of them, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm the support, I can't abandon the command."

She jogged after him.

This made Gu Xiaobo's lips twitch. He jokingly said to Qin Yulan, "Three have left. Why don't we go too?"

"No, I don't want to take that risk."

Qin Yulan was exceptionally determined. Even after the competition ended, her current score would definitely place her among the top students, so there was no need to risk it for a mere 300 points.

If Zhou Chen wants to go, then let him go.

Surprisingly, Katsumi Okabe and Kaori Utsunomiya returned soon after.

Two motorcycles and five people also came along; they were nearby and had overheard the challenge proposed by the bird.

Gu Xiaobo hurriedly asked, "Where is the commander?"

"Old Zhou borrowed a motorcycle and went there alone." Xing Keji was speechless.

Chapter 142: The One-on-One Duel Begins

"Your teammates are pretty reckless, going in all by themselves!"

"That's what someone from another group of test takers said with emotion."

Xing Keji and Gu Xiaobo both looked somewhat embarrassed; they never expected that a perfectly normal person would suddenly go mad.

Too many meditation sessions, causing a mental overload?

Kaori Utsunomiya corrected her, saying, "This is a firm belief and a clear goal. Only truly powerful card masters possess these qualities."

"A clear objective, isn't it? A novice card master taking on a gold-tier opponent, tsk tsk tsk."

Some people shook their heads.

Xing Keji was displeased upon hearing this. "So what if it's a one-on-one fight? He's just a heavily injured Gold-ranked warrior! You can't just kill my brother without permission!"

Although he also felt that Zhou Chen's actions were problematic, how could he let others criticize his own brother?

"Kill at will? Fine, fine, I want to see how he kills at will!"

The other guy was equally unconvinced, "Let's go! Let's go watch! That way we can collect your brother's corpse!"

"What the hell did you say?!"

Xing Keji was furious and rushed forward to beat someone up, but Gu Xiaobo stopped him.

Gu Xiaobo gestured with his eyes that the recording bird was still nearby, "Everyone, say less. We're in the middle of an exam, and the secret realm exam isn't over yet!"

These words calmed their tempers.

Everyone came here with the goal of getting into university, and no one wants to ruin their future because of a moment of anger.

But Xing Keji also remembered that person, glaring at him fiercely, intending to settle the score after the exam.

In the secret realm test, it's inevitable to meditate frequently to recover one's condition. Everyone is holding back their anger, so it's normal to explode at the slightest provocation.

Inside the command center.

Big Black Bull chuckled and said, "I didn't realize you had such a stubborn personality."

“Stubbornness is good. Most people who achieve great things are somewhat stubborn. I think that girl is right. She has a firm belief and a clear goal.”

The old man, now a ghost, was full of approval.

They didn't see anything wrong with Zhou Chen's solo fight against the Gold-tier monster; on the contrary, they admired him greatly.

This sparked a lot of complaints from older students.

Anyone else would have been torn to shreds by now, right?

The challenge missions are designed for a full five-person team, not for one-on-one battles. The Secret Realm Academy never encourages card masters to fight alone. Teamwork is the fundamental reason why humanity was able to counterattack the Secret Realm.

Everyone at the Secret Realm Academy thought so, but when it came to Zhou Chen, he not only didn't criticize him, but even praised him.

If I keep praising them, they might start blaming their teammates for not keeping up.

wrong.

Things are starting to get weird.

Their ears were turned toward the teachers. While the two leaders, Big Black Bull and the Old Man of the Dead, didn't say anything, the teachers were judging Zhou Chen's other teammates.

Some people think that Zhou Chen helped score so many points, but when it was time to go to the challenge location, the team members didn't even bother to follow along.

Some also believe that Zhou Chen didn't even let them follow, and besides, the seriously injured Gold-ranked individual was also a Gold-ranked individual, so it's normal for him to be wary.

The teachers said a lot, each with their own opinions, but none of them criticized Zhou Chen for fighting a Gold-level opponent in a one-on-one match.

This behavior is clearly dangerous.

The students helping out in the command center remained silent.

If they're already showing such favoritism before even enrolling, what will happen after they're admitted? What will they do?

-

Middle level of the Azure Wind Secret Realm.

Zhou Chen rode his motorcycle forward, gradually bringing the enormous creature into view.

"The Wind-Breaking Giant Antelope..."

This is a giant antelope with a shoulder height of over six meters. Its light brown body is marked with pale blue wind patterns, and its spiral horns point straight up to the sky like a telephone pole.

It is rather slender and extremely agile, able to easily leap to a height of tens of meters before crashing down heavily.

This strike is so powerful that it seems to shatter even the wind, hence it is called "Windbreaker".

of course.

At this moment, the giant beast was already seriously injured.

Its eyes were turned into bloody holes, and one of its two long horns broke off at the base, while the other broke off in the middle.

In addition, its lower abdomen looks like it has been eaten away by something, with a huge depression from which its internal organs hang.

Besides these, there were countless other minor injuries.

After observing, Zhou Chen quickly looked elsewhere and, sure enough, spotted a strange bird with a large mouth about two or three hundred meters above the Broken Wind Giant Antelope.

Judging from its appearance, the other party is clearly not a monster from the Azure Wind Secret Realm.

Is it the teacher in charge of safety?

Now there's even less reason not to accept this Gold-tier monster!

Zhou Chen did not rush directly to the giant antelope. He stopped the car when they were about 300 meters apart.

He quickly summoned the spirit card and regulated his breathing.

"Phew~ This is the first time I've hunted a Gold-tier monster with your strength. Give it your all, White Ape!"

"twitter!"

The Black-feathered White Ape appeared, wielding the Wind and Thunder Blade, ready for battle.

The giant antelope seemed to sense the threat and, despite losing its eyesight, quickly located their position.

Then--
