Chapter 857: Crushing Nearly a Thousand Geniuses of the Southeast! No One Reached the Summit!

At that moment, Jin Jin Longhao and Shi Zhuang had long given up on reaching the summit of Mount Qingliang.

They only wanted to surpass the figure ahead of them!

"Preliminary round, over!"

Below Mount Qingliang, a judge from the Southeast Military Department loudly announced.

Dusk fell, and the preliminary round of the Southeast Youth Beast Tamer Competition ended on schedule.

Countless young people from major cities across the Southeast collapsed onto the ground or prostrated themselves the moment they heard the judge's announcement.

Jin Long and Shi Zhuang both glared resentfully at the figure ahead and sighed in frustration.

In the end, they hadn't even reached the summit of Mount Qingliang.

Even the first place was snatched away by an unknown teenager.

That black horse teenager, upon hearing the judge declare the preliminary round over, also looked up resentfully at the summit of Mount Qingliang!

Then he collapsed heavily onto the ground, losing consciousness.

Su Yang had pre-arranged medical personnel to be on standby, but the young beast tamers who had fallen into the Illusory Realm weren't seriously hurt.

They would awaken soon enough from the Illusory Realm.

The rest were simply exhausted.

A few young beast tamers had withdrawn midway through the trial.

Su Yang stood atop the peak, slightly disappointed.

His meticulously designed trial had only been half-experienced by these youths.

The remaining challenges and stages were all wasted.

Seeing the preliminary results, the audience was stunned.

This preliminary round—no one had reached the summit of Mount Qingliang!

Even Shi Zhuang, who had confidently sworn before the competition that he would reach the summit, had collapsed just as he reached halfway!

"I didn't expect this trial to be so hard!"

"Of course it's hard—none of the beast tamers who tried climbing from behind managed to reach the summit; the best among them only barely outpaced those boys!"

"Shi Zhuang and Jin Long had only just reached halfway!"

"The first place? He's a complete black horse—do you know his name?"

"No idea!"

"Unknown!"

Someone sighed: "But our Southeast's young prodigies are still far behind Su Yang!"

No one replied.

They all knew it was the truth.

Su Yang had already left his peers far behind.

In this preliminary round, Su Yang had crushed every genius in the Southeast with only two pet beasts!

The young prodigies from every major city in the Southeast didn't even have the qualification to approach Su Yang!

Let alone challenge him!

The so-called young beast tamers looked like a joke before Su Yang!

A senior official from Zhenbao Pavilion, watching Shi Zhuang being carried away, sighed helplessly: "Shi Zhuang has deliberately… in this world, there are only two kinds of people: Su Yang and all other prodigies!"

Su Yang flew down Mount Qingliang and said to Qian Qian Hailong's adjutant: "Thus, the preliminary round has been successfully completed!"

Qian Qian Hailong placed great importance on this competition.

That's why he sent his own adjutant to observe the entire event and report back!

Qian Qian Hailong's adjutant nodded helplessly: "Indeed, it was successfully completed—but Commander Su, your preliminary round was set far too difficult!"

"If I didn't set the difficulty high enough, how could I create distance between these brats and me?" Su Yang said, waving his hand. "Don't you agree?"

"Your words… aren't wrong."

Su Yang saw two soldiers carrying the black horse teenager down the mountain.

In this preliminary round, he was the one who suffered the most.

The young man was still conscious, just utterly drained—unable to move, carried by others.

"Wait!"

The two soldiers carrying the stretcher immediately stopped.

Su Yang walked up to the teenager, who, seeing Su Yang, weakly called out: "Commander!"

Su Yang asked curiously: "What's your name?"

In this preliminary round, Su Yang had only wanted to meet this one teenager.

"Commander, my name is Wang Fei!"

"Wang Fei, can you tell me why you pushed yourself so hard?"

Wang Fei grinned awkwardly: "Just to get a Royal-potential beast egg!"

A Royal-potential beast egg was indeed worth risking everything for.

Even winning first place in the Youth Prodigy Competition didn't come with a Royal-potential beast egg as a prize!

"I like your honesty!" Su Yang couldn't help laughing. "You'll receive a Star-potential beast egg."

"What?" Wang Fei exclaimed. "Didn't I fail to reach Mount Qingliang?"

"Though you didn't reach the summit of Mount Qingliang, you are still first place!"

Wang Fei guessed: "Was it ever said that first place gets a Royal-potential beast egg?"

Clearly, this Wang Fei hadn't reacted yet.

"I'm the chief examiner—I say it exists, then it exists!" Su Yang waved his hand. "Carry him away!"

After two soldiers carried Wang Fei off, Qian Qian Hailong's aide whispered a warning: "Commander Su, we didn't set this reward." "No problem—this is my personal gift!"

Su Yang could still produce a Royal-rank potential beast egg.

Last time he raided the Treasure Pavilion of Mount Dajiao, he seized several Royal-rank beast eggs—they're still stored in the Void Wandering Spirit's storage space!

Wang Fei's strength isn't strong, but his willpower deeply impressed Su Yang.

Such a person has upper-tier talent, but not outstanding.

His willpower is extraordinary, yet he doesn't draw attention by enduring hardship.

Diligent, never giving up, gradually accumulating strength—he's the type of Beast Tamer who accumulates silently and erupts late, destined for greatness.

Su Yang also hoped Wang Fei's future path would proceed smoothly.

After all, Wang Fei was the top candidate selected under Su Yang's watch as chief examiner!

"Ding! System notification: Host successfully altered the rules of the Southeast Youth Genius Beast Tamer Competition and completed the preliminary round, enabling the Southeast Military Department to easily deploy elite personnel to investigate the Bo Sea region!"

"Ding! Reward distributed: Two talent points awarded—can enhance any one talent ability of any Dragon Beast. Host may choose a pet's talent for enhancement!"

Su Yang said: "System, don't claim the reward yet!"

Tonight, he would arrive at Xincheng to await reunion with An Hang and the others.

The affairs of Haicheng have dragged other nations into their wake.
