Chapter 420: The Arrival of the Ghost Golden Sheep

Ye Bai gave everyone twenty minutes to observe the Pet Beast and write down their answers.

This is a great test of a Breeder's judgment and ability to express themselves in language.

For a good Breeder, besides mastering various basic skills, being observant and reading the situation is very important.

"Alright, everyone, upload your answers to the system computer."

"After three rounds, we will inform everyone who has passed the first round of assessment."

"The results of the competition will appear on the screen."

"Just like in other years of the Kylin Cup, we will announce the scores for the Kylin Cup at the very end."

Ye Bai then gave Song Fu'an a resentful look, the meaning of which was very clear: "I am only a Judge for this Kylin Cup, not an organizer; don't dump everything on me."

"You, as the Chairman of the Kylin Cup Zuoweihui, should also do your job well; don't just stand on the sidelines watching the fun!"

Song Fu'an gave a sheepish smile and didn't say anything more.

Soon, someone took over the hosting duties; this was a middle-aged man who was slightly chubby and looked extremely honest and simple.

He took the microphone from Ye Bai's hand and said to everyone with a grin: "Hello everyone, I am Wu Zhen, the host for this year's Kylin Cup."

"Thank you, Professor Ye, for the guidance you have given us."

"Let us give Professor Ye a round of incredibly enthusiastic applause."

Afterwards, Wu Zhen pressed a button, and several pitch-black, palm-sized rings appeared in the transparent display case.

These black rings flew onto the Charge Wolf, tightly locking the Charge Wolf's body directly.

Charge Wolf: Damn it, these humans are truly hateful; using me for experiments, they might as well just give me a quick death.

Wuwuwu, is it easy for me?

Getting struck by lightning, having to deal with dodgeball attacks, and now being locked in a pitch-black dungeon.

My life is truly miserable!

A crack appeared on the ground, and two Great Savage Apes carried out an airtight iron cage.

Then, the two of them easily carried the tightly bound Charge Wolf out.

"Alright, the second Pet Beast has appeared."

Wu Zhen pressed the button with a relaxed expression, and the iron ball in front of them bloomed like a blossoming lotus.

However, no one present saw a Pet Beast appear inside the iron ball.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay; at this moment, the host stepped out to smooth things over: "Haha, I can guarantee that there is a Pet Beast inside here."

"It's just that this Pet Beast has used a very special method to hide its body."

"According to the data, this Pet Beast likes to eat first-tier Green Flies."

"How about this, I have just consulted with the Zuoweihui; since this Pet Beast has hidden itself, in order to let everyone see clearly what kind of Pet Beast it is, we will specifically release a few Green Flies into the glass display case. Please make the correct judgment."

"There are only a few chances, so please pay attention!"

Not long after, a small crack split open on the ground again.

A Green Fly with huge eyes and a body emitting a green fluorescent glow appeared.

This guy looked like it had a shifty, rat-like appearance.

Its wings were about twenty centimeters long and looked crystal clear.

Its long, large pincers were like a pair of sharp scissors.

This kind of Pet Beast has a very fast flight speed, and its stomach is filled with acid; when it impacts the prey's body, the acid will instantly burst open.

The corrosive liquid will cover the prey's entire body.

In this way, the prey will be corroded into liquid while wailing in agony.

These Exotic Beasts usually appear in swarms; imagine the shock that an overwhelming number of Green Flies would bring.

Even a fourth-tier Iron Armor Wild Boar would be scared into fleeing in a panic if it encountered Green Flies in the wild.

Just at this moment, at one of the experimental stations on the competition floor.

A young man with goggles hanging around his neck, chewing gum, was watching everything inside the transparent display case with great interest.

He was the very person Jiang Dashi had been fretting about.

"The rules of this competition have changed; it's finally starting to get interesting."

"It seems I can't continue to slack off; I must bring out my real skills."

"If I don't win the championship, I won't be able to openly battle Ye Bai."

"It looks like I need to work a bit harder."

"This guy must possess a protective color like a chameleon, which is why its figure suddenly disappeared."

"So, is this guy a chameleon or a frog?"

Both chameleons and frogs have long tongues.

Some frog Pet Beasts can also use the protective color skill, so investigating exactly what kind of Pet Beast this is will not be an easy task.

And at this time, two other people also curled their lips with interest.

"This change in rules is indeed much more fun, but I am also a professional when it comes to Pet Beast breeding. Didn't expect that, did you, Ye Bai? You destroyed part of my hand bone, and then I parasitized another contestant."

"It's just that the body I've parasitized is a bit heavy, which is affecting my performance somewhat."

"And the necromancy I pride myself on cannot be used either; it's equivalent to both my left and right arms being disabled."

Listening to this guy's tone, if Ye Bai were on the scene, he would have understood immediately: this guy has been parasitized by a Necromancer.

Although the Soul of the Necromancer that parasitized the hand bone was destroyed, the residual memories could not return to the main body.

But the clever Necromancer directly borrowed someone else's power and discovered the metal detector.

So he directly used the Necrotic Cutting Technique to cut off a portion of his Soul and stuffed it into a contestant who had just died.

He successfully infiltrated the competition site.

"I cannot act rashly now, lest I be discovered by that cunning and treacherous fellow, Ye Bai."

"He is truly worthy of being the junior fellow apprentice of the Star Sage; even his personality is very, very similar to the Star Sage's."

"This kind of person is overly intelligent; I had better not confront him head-on."

After all, the Necromancer has only just entered the Eighth Rank; it is not so easy to break through to the Ninth Rank.

Moreover, the Twelve Pillars of the Nation all possess at least Eighth Rank strength, with a small portion possessing Ninth Rank strength, which forces the Necromancer to be cautious and careful.

The other one is the Spirit Saint.

Through the Soul Reincarnation Technique, the Spirit Saint had already begun laying out plans a year ago, transferring a portion of his own Soul into a vegetative person.

He devoured the Soul of the vegetative person and controlled the body of the vegetative person.

After overcoming many obstacles, he finally arrived on this stage of the Yan Country competition.

He intends to dance well.

In fact, the Spirit Saint's main purpose in coming here is not to cause trouble for the Yan Country.

On the contrary, he intends to defect to the Yan Country and act as a nail embedded in the Resurrection Society.

Using the Soul Shell Shedding Method, after secretly reading the records about the Trinity Project hidden deep within the Resurrection Society.

The Spirit Saint suddenly discovered that the President had long since disappeared.

The reason for establishing the Spirit, Energy, and Blood Hall, and selecting the Spirit Saint, Energy Saint, and Blood Saint, was also a small means to summon the President back from the void.

It is said that the President's strength has already reached the pinnacle.

Therefore, once the President can return from the void, the four Elders will have performed a great service.

And the Trinity Project must use three disciples with different constitutions as sacrifices.

There is a prerequisite that the strength of the sacrificed must reach the Seventh Rank.

After seeing this ancient text, the Spirit Saint just wanted to escape from here, to go somewhere far away where he would not be disturbed by anyone.

This time, the Spirit Saint intends to fake his death during the competition, and after the competition ends, quietly go find Ye Bai and give the important intelligence he has collected to Ye Bai.

As long as Ye Bai destroys the Trinity Project, he will not have to live in fear all day and will be able to live out a new self.

The green fly was flying leisurely in mid-air, its speed extremely fast, like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Ordinary Pet Beasts do not have dynamic vision and simply cannot see the movements of the green fly clearly.

They did not feel the approach of danger at all.

Originally, there were five or six green flies flying around in the air, but in the blink of an eye, one was missing, yet they did not notice it at all.

Brothers are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, each flies their own way.

The green flies have always been cold-natured by nature, so naturally, they would not consider the life or death of their companions.

They even hoped that the more chaotic things became, the better, so that they could fish in troubled waters.

And obtain more heavenly treasures.

Many Breeders who were carefully observing the transparent display case suddenly revealed expressions of sudden realization.

In the blink of an eye just now, they saw a pink chameleon appear.

Its large mouth took a deep breath, and the green flies that were originally hovering in the air all disappeared.

They could be certain that this was an Exotic Beast similar to a chameleon.

Because they discovered that not far from where the green flies were, traces similar to footprints appeared on the glass display case.

Frogs cannot walk on glass; only chameleons possess this ability.

"I presume everyone has discovered what kind of Pet Beast this is."

"I will not say much more here."

"The time countdown is twenty minutes; during this time, everyone can make requests of me."

"If the request is reasonable, I will try my best to satisfy the requests made by everyone."

Wu Zhen said with extreme composure.

Ye Bai watched from the side, and after confirming there were no problems, he walked to the backstage.

Here he met Jing Mu-Han and Gui Jin-Yang.

Ye Bai revealed an "I knew it" expression.

"Haha, we received the notification from the Qilin Marshal and came here secretly, mainly to avoid alerting the enemy."

Gui Jin-Yang shrugged his shoulders.

"We are fighting side by side again." Jing Mu-Han took a sip of wine and said leisurely.

"Ye Bai, tell me, who is the enemy we are mainly guarding against this time?"

"To what extent do we need to act?"

Jing Mu-Han asked with a suddenly solemn expression.

"The enemy this time is truly not simple."

"The Necromancer of the Gospel Society, and the Spirit Saint of the Resurrection Society."

"Neither of them is simple; both are masters at playing with the Soul."

"Although I have already used the Great Science Method to ferret out the Parasite Clone of the Necromancer, I have thought of a plan for Stealing Heaven and Changing the Sun."

Ye Bai has already treated the Soul Clone of the Necromancer as a supplement.

Devouring this part of the Soul will bring great benefits to the Nether Hell Wolf.

"Ye Bai, besides this, do you have any other intelligence?"

Gui Jin-Yang asked Ye Bai while playing with the Rubik's cube in his hand.

"I don't have any for the moment; mainly because the two of them are also hidden very deeply, and it is not easy to find them."

"And they are both adept at playing with the Soul."

"Therefore, we do not rule out the possibility that these two people have already snuck in."

"By the way, what is the current situation in Tianzhong City?"

Ye Bai wanted to know the current situation in Tianzhong City and exactly what stage it had reached.

Whether the demons had been cleared out completely.

Whether the citizens of Tianzhong City had returned to peace; all of this was what Ye Bai wanted to know.

"I have already sent the Mohist Mechanism City to set up another mechanism directly near the demon lair."

Suppressed by the Mechanism City, I believe the demon lair should not be able to break through the seal so quickly.

"This has given us a buffer of time, and at the same time, we have relocated a portion of the citizens so they do not get too close to the demon lair."

"To prevent them from being bewitched by the demons and performing actions that endanger the seal."

"As for the demons hiding in the city, we have already swept through most of them to avoid any major problems."

"At present, Tianzhong City can be considered to have returned to peace."

Gui Jinyang spoke of the efforts made during this period.

"Very good. Next, we can properly maintain the production safety of the Young Qilin Cup."

"Because we were worried about everyone's safety, we did not agree from the very beginning to let the contestants go to Huangdao to participate in the competition."

"We have installed surveillance cameras in every contestant's room."

"I also had over thirty people watch the footage the entire time to find out who the Necromancer or the Spirit Saint Child is."

"However, the Necromancer is an eighth-rank powerhouse after all, a level higher than us."

"If possible, we should not go head-to-head with the Necromancer to avoid causing more casualties; that is a result we do not want to see."

"Since the two of you have come to carry out the mission, I will assign the tasks."

"Qilin Marshal has put me in full charge of matters regarding the Young Qilin Cup."

"Gui Jinyang is responsible for releasing the Mechanical Birds, specifically to monitor that group of people."

"Jing Dalao is responsible for overall security work; your Drunken Immortal Wine and Ten Complete Tonic Wine have miraculous effects on Pet Beasts."

The wine aroma emitted by the Drunken Immortal Wine can even intoxicate many powerful Exotic Beasts.

And the Ten Complete Tonic Wine can enhance the attack power of Pet Beasts, though the side effect is that after the battle, the Pet Beasts will be dizzy for a day as if they had drunk fake wine.

"I will be responsible for coordinating the whole thing; I am more familiar with the Young Qilin Cup."

"I am familiar with the entire process of the Young Qilin Cup, so I will be in charge this time."

"If it were the Phoenix Fledgling Cup, the two big brothers would lead, and I would just be responsible for being the muscle."

Ye Bai said very politely to Jing Mu'an and Gui Jinyang.

Gui Jinyang and Jing Mu'an did not have many objections; after all, what Ye Bai said made a lot of sense, and they were not skilled in Pet Beast cultivation—Ye Bai was the expert in that.

After all, everyone has their own area of expertise, and Qilin Marshal had also made it clear that this Young Qilin Cup should be based on Ye Bai's stance.

Ye Bai was very strong in cultivation and research; compared to him, Gui Jinyang and Jing Mu'an both felt they were academic underachievers.

Therefore, the two of them never put on airs in front of Ye Bai.

"Let's go with your opinion!"
