Beast Taming Patrol

"Zhang Xiaoyu, total points 8750, Hunting Points 8740!"

"Wow, this person is fierce!" Ji Yun exclaimed in admiration, her gaze sweeping around and quickly locking onto the direction of the third beam of light that had appeared, "Other than a piece for clearing the stage, all the points are from Hunting Points? Impressive!"

She was well aware that, although her own points were higher, the margin over the third place was limited, and more than one third of them were from stage-clearing points, so she might not necessarily be more formidable than this third-place competitor.

After staring at the third beam of light for a few seconds, Ji Yun\'s expression subtly changed.

Even though the moving speed was much slower than her own, but...

That guy seemed to be heading in the direction of Boss Lin Su too, right?

…

"Mushroom head, stop right there!" Zhang Xiaoyu gasped heavily, chasing after the swiftly running Gugu Power in front of him, "Slow down a bit, I can\'t keep up with you!"

"Gugu Power, Gugu Power! ᕕ(⁰▽⁰)ᕗ" ("Beast Tamer, you\'re too out of shape, you need more exercise!")

"Shut up!" Met with his pet\'s disdainful eyes, Zhang Xiaoyu couldn\'t get his anger out. He pointed to the descending pillar of light over their heads, "Our location is now exposed, there will definitely be a lot of people challenging us."

"Gugu Power! Gugu Power! ᕕ(ᓀ▽ᓂ)ᕗ" ("Let them come! I\'ll take on ten of them!")

"You…" Zhang Xiaoyu started to look bitter, "Can you stop for a second and let me catch my breath?"

"Gugu Power! Gugu Power!" ("The first-place guy is over there! If we defeat him, we can get over five thousand points!")

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyu\'s expression turned even more bitter, "Did you ever think why the other person managed to get so many points? Is it that easy to defeat him?"

"Gugu Power! Gugu Power! ᕕ(⁰▽⁰)ᕗ" ("Just fight first, talk later! If we lose, we\'ll just start over!")

"You sure are carefree!" Zhang Xiaoyu heaved a deep sigh, "It\'s not that simple, you know!"

Yesterday, during the theoretical assessment, the person who gave him directions seemed somewhat familiar, but he was too worried about being late for the exam to think it through.

Now that he thought about it, wasn\'t that person Boss Lin Su?

Boss Lin Su was also in the examination room...

And his pet was planning to beat him up...

Zhang Xiaoyu\'s expression grew increasingly bitter.

He was enrolled in the research department, damn it!

If he beat up Boss Lin Su now, disregarding whether he could win, once they became classmates, wouldn\'t he be given a hard time?!

"Gugu Power!" ("You\'re too slow!")

Seemingly dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaoyu\'s running speed, Gugu Power suddenly stopped, quickly approached Zhang Xiaoyu, and "swoosh" picked him up, starting to run swiftly.

"What are you doing?! Put me down right now!"

"Gugu Power!" ("This is to speed up our journey!")

"Then you could at least change your position! What\'s with the princess carry, for heaven\'s sake?!"

"Gugu Power… Gugu Power?" ("What a hassle… How about this?")

"I… ugh… stop shaking me!"

…

Lin Su slowly shifted his gaze away from the third beam of light, his expression gradually turning odd.

This practical assessment...

Could there be some unwritten rules he wasn\'t aware of?

Ji Yun, who he had met once before, coming to find him was still understandable.

But what about this third-place Zhang Xiaoyu?

Why did it also seem like she was heading his way?

"The fourth place in overall ranking is…"

"Zhao Tianchen, total points 7890, Hunting Points 7800!"

The loud announcement echoed once more, and Lin Su\'s mind stirred slightly.

Another acquaintance?

His expression turned odd, scanning around, his gaze quickly locking onto the fourth beam that had appeared. At this sight, he couldn\'t help but cover his face.

Why was Zhao Tianchen also coming to find him?

Oh right, he did say something fierce during the theoretical assessment yesterday, that he was going to show Lin Su his might during the practical assessment...

Well, then that\'s that.

Lin Su had become numb to it; so far, the top four had been announced, and apart from himself, the first place, the other three were all moving in his direction.

What was this about?

Gathering for a meeting?

"The fifth place in overall ranking is…"

"Li Shuo, total points 7540, Hunting Points 7460!"

Upon hearing another unfamiliar name, Lin Su glanced unconsciously towards the newly appeared fifth beam of light, and this time he breathed a sigh of relief.

This fifth-place Li Shuo wasn\'t approaching him but stayed put.

It seemed like those other fellows seeking him out were just anomalies.

"The sixth place in overall ranking is…"

"Zhong Hao, total points 7120, Hunting Points 7040!"

Yet another familiar name.

Lin Su turned around again and quickly found himself troubled upon discovering that the pillar of light belonging to Zhong Hao disturbingly overlapped with that of Zhao Tianchen\'s...

Were these two good buddies moving together?

Seeing Zhong Hao heading in his direction just like Zhao Tianchen, Lin Su let out a light sigh.

Just as he was about to shift his gaze, his expression suddenly twitched.

The previously inactive fifth place, perhaps influenced by the others, showed a slight tremble in his light beam before it too started moving quickly in Lin Su\'s direction.

Don\'t come over here!

Lin Su looked skyward and sighed, his expression resigned.

…

"The one hundredth in the overall ranking is..."

"Liu Chuang, total points 2830, Hunting Points 2520!"

With the hundredth name and points announced, there were no more suspense among the top hundred contestants.
