Chapter 91 – Chain tasks, eye-catching


Ye Ling never expected that he and Old Chen would be drawn for the first round.

Also drawn for the first round was the strongest student among them, Li Shengtian.

Ye Ling knew a bit about Li Shengtian.

He had reached the Eighth Level of the First Rank earlier than Huo Xian’er and was now at the peak of the Eighth Level.

His strength surpassed Huo Xian’er’s, and his spiritual pet was also formidable.

Li Shengtian’s spiritual pet was a Rock Golem, a type of spiritual pet with extremely strong defense.

It was a humanoid spiritual pet, its entire body made of hard stone, similar to the Earth Azure Dragon, with both strong defense and attack power.

If Ye Ling were to face him later, he would have to use most of his strength.

However, Ye Ling didn’t think Li Shengtian posed a real threat to him.

At that moment, the long-awaited system notification sounded.

This time, unlike before, the system notification lasted particularly long, listing a bunch of tasks.

“Ding! Chain quest triggered. Task one: In the second phase of the Spirit Tamer assessment, each victory will increase current experience by 10%.”

“Task two: Achieve a ranking within the top twenty to receive 2 Spiritual Power Crystals.”

“Task three: Achieve a ranking within the top ten to receive a body enhancement.”

“Task four: Achieve a ranking within the top five to receive a 10% growth increase.”

“Task five: Achieve a ranking within the top three to receive an unknown contractable spiritual pet egg (Note: Flying type).”

“Task six: Achieve first place to receive a distributable talent—Rebirth (can be bestowed on any spiritual pet).”

“All task rewards can be stacked.”

With so many task notifications, even Ye Ling’s mind went blank for a moment.

It was the first time he had triggered so many tasks and he was completely caught off guard.

“Ye Ling, please come to the stage! Ye Ling! Ye Ling, please come to the stage!”

On the platform, the referee was loudly calling Ye Ling’s name.

After being called several times, Ye Ling finally reacted.

There was no time to think about it now; Ye Ling decided to complete this first battle and then slowly study the tasks issued by the system.

Although he didn’t know what the tasks were, Ye Ling was sure the rewards would be substantial.

“Here!”

Ye Ling hurried to the vicinity of the fourth platform.

The referee, who had been loudly calling Ye Ling’s name, frowned as he saw Ye Ling arriving and reminded him.

“Next time, pay attention to the time. Prolonged non-response will result in disqualification. Now, get on the stage.”

The referee’s reminder was well-intentioned; missing a match due to not hearing one’s name would result in an automatic forfeit.

“Thank you for the reminder.”

Ye Ling stepped onto the stage and thanked the referee.

Then, Ye Ling turned his gaze to his opponent.

Tian Chen, someone Ye Ling didn’t know at all. He wasn’t famous in the academy, so his strength was probably mediocre.

As Ye Ling’s opponent, Tian Chen had initially thought he could advance without a fight, but to his dismay, Ye Ling showed up.

Naturally, his expression turned sour. After the match, he could only retain his current ranking.

“The rules were just explained by the lord. As long as you don’t endanger your opponent’s life, anything goes. Now, I announce… the match begins.”

The referee in the middle waved his hand, announcing the start of the match.

Each student on the platforms summoned their spiritual pets.

“Come out, Wind Wolf!”

“Rock Golem!”

“Black Tiger!”

Tian Chen, standing opposite Ye Ling, was also quick to summon his spiritual pet.

“Unicorn Armored Rhino!”

A massive rhino appeared beside Tian Chen.

It had a huge horn on its head and was covered in scales.

At first glance, it was clear that the Unicorn Armored Rhino had formidable defense.

There was also a long, fresh scar on the left side of the Unicorn Armored Rhino, likely from an injury sustained during the first phase of the assessment.

Even so, Ye Ling wasn’t planning to hold back.

“Blood Phantom!”

A flash of blood-red light shot out from the Spiritual Pet Seal, and Blood Phantom, dressed in her Rainbow Blood Garment, gracefully stood beside Ye Ling.

Compared to the Unicorn Armored Rhino, Ye Ling’s Blood Phantom was far more eye-catching.

During the first phase of the assessment yesterday, only the representatives from the Spirit Tamer Academy and Shang Lingkong had seen Blood Phantom.

No one else had seen Ye Ling’s spiritual pet.

Naturally, the beautiful and captivating Blood Phantom became the center of everyone’s attention.

“What kind of spiritual pet is that? How can it be so beautiful?!”

“Is that really a spiritual pet? Could it be… a person?”

“Nonsense! Didn’t you see it come out of the Spiritual Pet Seal? It’s obviously a spiritual pet.”

“I want a spiritual pet that beautiful too!﹋o﹋”

The surrounding spectators were all discussing Blood Phantom, without exception.
