Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 170: Chapter 129: The Contest Begins! The First Enemy of the Forest Wolf Troop!

This was an open-air square, somewhat resembling the sports fields from his school days, though with some distinct differences. On one side of this square stood a giant screen. Simultaneously, small screens were positioned in front of the numerous small seating areas arranged in all directions. At this moment, figures in groups of five stood together in the center of the square.

Thanks to Old Qin and Old Liu, Su Ping could sit in the front row, even though it felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Who is in this front row?

The most central figure was Zhao Deguang, along with a general from the Shanyuan Ground Forces, distinguished by the stars on his shoulders. Besides him, Liu Fuhai and Qin Erlong sat nearby. There were also several others at the same rank but with different powers and titles. But undoubtedly, even Chief Lin was sitting in the second or third row at this moment. As for the other Breeders, they had their own visitor seating and could not be seated here at all.

Even though Su Ping was just sitting at an edge, he felt nervous.

Is this a place he can sit in casually?

But fortunately, at this time, no one was paying attention to him. All eyes were on Zhao Deguang in the center of the front row.

At this moment, looking at the elite soldiers in their groups of five in the center of the ’square’, and their respective group leaders, Zhao Deguang slowly stood up.

”All battle groups, sound off!”

From the formation, voices cried out one after another:

”Reporting, Commander! Hunting Wolf Group leader Zhou Long reporting. The Hunting Wolf Group elite squad, five members required, five present. We are ready for inspection, Sir!”

”Reporting, Commander! Snow Wolf Group leader Li Tiefeng reporting...”

Voices resonated across the entire field.

Finally, after all attending personnel were verified and accounted for, the Chief of Staff said with a smile, ”Alright, you should all know why you’re here today. I won’t waste words. This Legion competition is to test the results of your elite cultivation over the past two months!

”Legion competitions, unlike Beast Tamers’ arena battles, test your on-the-spot response capability, wilderness survival ability, tactical cooperation ability, and may even test your luck. So, for your competition this time, our comrades in logistics have worked overtime to create a large battlefield for you to display your abilities!

”The rules this time are simple: defeat all enemies except for your own team of five and survive until the end. Finally, judgment will be based on the number of enemies you defeat, the number of survivors on your team, and your survival time!

”Eliminating an enemy awards one point. Wiping out an entire group awards a total of seven points, which includes an additional two bonus points! For every additional two Xiaoshi of survival, each surviving member of the group earns one point! The last surviving group receives an extra ten points.

”Also, be aware that Hypnotic Mist will be released on the battlefield. Your Life Status Monitors will alert you. The Life Status Monitors will also record the attacks you can withstand and the condition of your Pet Beasts. If you exceed these limits, the Life Status Monitor will automatically signal and activate protective measures. At that time, you will be considered eliminated, and someone will come to escort you away!

”Additionally, random supply drops will occur on the battlefield.”

Indeed, just as Dad said, it’s really the typical battle royale competition format! But that makes sense. This competition format truly tests the comprehensive abilities of the Beast Tamer soldiers in the Legion. Competitions held in an arena are meaningless by comparison. Because neither enemies nor wild Ferocious Beast packs will grant you the courtesy of a fair one-on-one fight.

Su Ping’s lips curled up. He did not directly cheat by attempting to link any sort of mental vision. After all, the distance was insufficient. Besides, he believed that their recent training in the Heart of Woods meant the five selected Wanmu Wolf Beast Tamer soldiers would not disappoint him.

Now, there’s only one thing to worry about.

”Alright, no more idle talk. Lead them to the battlefield.”

The rules were simply announced, and everyone was equipped with Life Status Monitors, which allowed for direct viewing of the corresponding members’ combat status on the live broadcast. Then, everyone boarded vehicles and headed in a specific direction.

Meanwhile, on the large screen before them, multiple split-screens appeared. These individual screens represented the corresponding group members. At the same time, the small screens on the seats also lit up. Here, one could choose individual feeds for more detailed and direct observation.

The display capabilities of these electronic systems are truly impressive. All the equipment within the Legion had refreshed Su Ping’s understanding of it. Indeed, in any world, the most advanced equipment always began its use within the Legion. The only difference lay in the field of Pet Beast cultivation; unless there were insurmountable barriers, excellent Breeders from the outside world would continue to emerge.

Su Ping took a slow breath, nervously watching the screens.

This competition will likely not conclude within a single day, but viewing the first day should reveal some initial strengths and weaknesses. According to the rules, whether one took the initiative to eliminate other teams or simply lay low waiting for the ’poison circle,’ both were valid strategies.
