Chapter 196: Starting Off Against the Home Team! Are You Disrespecting Me?

Su Yang said calmly, "I only want first place!"

Everyone could feel the confidence radiating from him!

"Good kid, ambitious—I admire you for this!" Huo Kun slapped his thigh and laughed at Ge Le'an and Feng Guangyao. "See? You should learn from Su Yang."

Ge Le'an and Feng Guangyao, the two young geniuses from Qixing City, both silently lowered their heads.

They wanted to learn from Su Yang too!

But could that even be learned?

Fang Zheng and the others had already given up chasing Su Yang.

They simply couldn't catch up—not even his taillights were visible.

Then Huo Kun handed out the number tags.

Su Yang: No. 612, Feng Guangyao: No. 613, Ge Le'an: No. 614.

For safety, the Biwu Assembly venue in Wucheng was also set up on an open field outside the city.

On the day of the competition, many residents of Wucheng came out to watch the spectacle.

The Southwest City Youth Genius Biwu Assembly is held only once every three years.

Each time it's held, it draws the top young geniuses from across the southwest; many young geniuses first rose to fame here and became regional masters!

So, anyone with time didn't want to miss this chance to see young geniuses from all over.

Many wealthy civilians and Beast Tamer even took the worm train specifically to Wucheng to watch the Biwu Assembly before the matches.

"I heard seven Gold-Rank Beast Tamers are competing this time!"

"Seven Gold-Rank Beast Tamers under twenty?"

"That's insane! I've worked my ass off for over twenty years and I'm still Silver-Rank!"

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't!"

"Exactly!"

"…"

During the Elimination tournament stage, there weren't just one but ten competition venues.

Matches at each venue were pre-scheduled.

Su Yang's matches were all held at Venue No. 5—they didn't need to run around, just stay at Venue No. 5 and wait for the referee to call their names!

Su Yang was also considering whether to keep hiding the Hellblood Vine Flower.

Although he was called a Gold-Rank Beast Tamer, he only had one Gold-Rank pet: Stormhawk.

The Hellblood Vine Flower and Earthquake Bear were still stuck at Silver Top-Grade.

If he faced a strong Gold-Rank Beast Tamer, he might be at a disadvantage.

But he only thought about it briefly, then stopped.

If the opponent's strength truly forced him to use the Hellblood Vine Flower, then use it!

After all, the Hellblood Vine Flower was his—no need to hide it.

On the arena, two Beast Tamers were locked in fierce combat, but Su Yang only glanced at their pets and lost interest.

Battles between Silver-Rank Beast Tamers no longer stirred any interest in Su Yang.

Unless they brought out some rare pets.

Not long after, the match ended—the Silver Mid-Grade Beast Tamer won.

"Next match: Competitor No. 612, Su Yang from Qixing City, versus Competitor No. 3, Dai Yun from Wucheng… Please both contestants take the arena!"

Hearing his name called, and learning his opponent was from Wucheng, Su Yang paused for a moment.

Facing the home team's contestant in the very first match—what a coincidence!

"Su Yang! They're calling you!"

"Go get 'em, Su Yang!"

Su Yang glanced at Huo Kun, who gave him an encouraging nod.

"Don't worry—I won't lose."
