A rookie beastmaster with real talent and potential would've long entered a beastmaster university and walked onto a broader stage.
Why would one choose to join the Investigation Corps here instead?
As such, what potential could these trainee investigators have?
Even though she thought such, Ming Zhu simply smiled and said, "Then I'll have to see for myself!"
"Good, you're much more sensible than when you were young," Lin Rou laughed, "If you had been in your younger days, I'm afraid you would have already exposed Tang Xiong's words with a face full of disdain."
Ming Zhiled awkwardly and said, "That I wouldn't dare. Uncle Tang is Anping County's hero and role model. Even if you gave me more courage, I wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him."
"What hero and role model? I've just lived on the edge of death for a few more years," Tang Xiong waved his hand, "I think the investigators are almost all here. Let's get ready and begin, shall we?"
Lin Rou walked over and shouted, "Everyone is here, right? I said a month ago that I would let you experience the actual battle against fierce beasts. I believe that many of you trainee investigators have already gone on missions with some senior investigators. You have also been to the wild or the secret realms a few times. You have seen the strength of the fierce beasts, but you probably haven't had real combat with them, have you?"
Many investigators nodded.
"A month ago, I had asked my blazing sky falcon to teach three skills to your pets. After these thirty days and daily training, your pets should now be able to fight against some level 1 fierce beasts. Some outstanding pets may even be able to kill these fierce beasts. So, today's training mission is these three beasts. I don't have high requirements. Putting aside killing them, just choose any one of them as an opponent and survive for five minutes. If you can do that, you pass. If you can kill any of them, I will give you a reward," Lin Rou looked at the investigators with an expectant gaze.
"Kill..." Ming Zhu thought to herself, "Are there such outstanding investigators here?"
These fierce beasts had experienced countless battles in the wild.
Although their soul consciousness was weak, their innate battle instincts were very strong, and they also had skills.
Especially the demon skeleton ghost, which was a nine-star level-one beast. There was already a hint of the power of strangeness in its body, and it could be considered half a strange god.
It was very difficult to deal with.
"How about it, who wants to go first?" Lin Rou glanced at everyone.
As soon as she finished speaking, an investigator immediately volunteered, "I'll go!"
With a beautiful girl present, they probably had +100% courage.
Wang Ye estimated that if Ming Zhu wore black silk, the combat strength of these investigators might go up another level.
On top of that, the pet crouching behind Ming Zhu was also extremely beautiful.
It was a white moon fox, a Supreme class pet of the light element that was known for its holiness and beauty.
Among the pets, it was also among those with the best looks.
Even pets wouldn't be able to withstand its beauty.
Though, the white moon fox was currently taking a nap with its eyes closed.
"I remember that in the simulation, Ming Zhu seemed to have detected my identity... could it be Xiao Jiu?" Wang Ye pondered, "But if I ask Xiao Jiu to use the new moves like Wind and Feather Cut, she shouldn't be able to detect our identity if Xiao Jiu doesn't use Skyful of Feathers, right?"
While he was pondering, the first investigator also left the arena at lightning speed.
He had chosen the shadow loach as his opponent.
This fierce beast was slippery, agile, and had high spiritual resistance. It was a tough beast, and its combat strength was at six-star level-one.
It was the weakest of the three.
But let alone five minutes, in less than three minutes, that guy's pet had used up all of its spiritual energy to no effect.
On top of that, it was almost seriously injured by the shadow loach's tail.
That investigator was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing this scene, the other investigators' courage immediately dropped by 200%.
It was too dangerous!
In an instant, no one was willing to go forward.
"This time, even if Ming Zhu wears black silk, no one will have the courage to face the beasts," Wang Ye thought to himself, "These fierce beasts are all genuinely from the wild or even secret realms. Those with pets that have skills with low realms and not much actual combat experience probably won't be able to fight."
Lin Rou frowned slightly.
Such a beautiful woman was here, yet these guys couldn't even muster up their courage.
They were just a bunch of helpless guys!
Her eyes turned and fell on Wang Ye, "Wang Ye, you try!"
"Huh?" Wang Ye was stunned. He had wanted to watch the rest fail for a little longer and first find some sense of superiority.
And now it was already his turn?
The other investigators all looked over, their faces full of anticipation.
After all, one month ago, only Wang Ye's pet had learned all three moves in less than a day. All of them had a deep impression of it.
What would happen now then?
"Eh..." Ming Zhu also looked over.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xiong said with a smile, "This kid can be considered the most talented one here."
"Oh, nothing," Ming Zhu said, "I just didn't expect that there would be such a handsome boy in Anping County."
"..." Tang Xiong.
So this was what she was paying attention to?
At this time, Wang Ye walked out of the crowd. After thinking for a while, he said, "This... isn't very good, no?"
"Why, are you afraid too?" Lin Rou asked.
"That's not it."
"Then what?"
"The main thing is..." Wang Ye looked at the three fierce beasts, "I'm afraid that if I kill all three of them, the rest of my companions won't have a chance to train."
"..." Lin Rou.
"..." Everyone.
"..." Tang Xiong.
"Hahaha..." Ming Zhu was first stunned, then she laughed, "Big sister Lin, Uncle Tang, this person is so interesting! He's so arrogant! Why is he so confident?"
"This kid's specialty is his honesty," Tang Xiong held his chin in thought, "If he says that, he might really be able to do it."
"Huh?" Ming Zhu.
Was Tang Xiong joking?
"Well, you don't have to worry about that. Just go ahead and do it," Lin Rou glared at Wang Ye, "If you can really kill these three fierce beasts, the rewards will triple. If you have any other conditions, you can also say them. As for the others, I have some other training for them later."
She was just casually saying it, not thinking that Wang Ye could do it.
The others also had strange expressions.
Wang Ye patted Xiao Jiu, "Let's go. It's time for us to perform!"
He directly walked into the first circle of light.
The shadow loach was a fierce beast that Xiao Jiu had killed once a long time ago.
At that time, it had used Skyful of Feathers, an extremely powerful intermediate skill.
But now, Xiao Jiu let out a ruthless cry and flew from Wang Ye's shoulder. Following this, both of its wings lit up with silver light, like two silver sharp blades.
Then, it turned and dived, like two curved falling blades of silver light!
Whoosh!
In an instant, the several-meter-long shadow loach was cut into several pieces!
The loach's powerful vitality caused its body which had been cut into several pieces to continue to sway, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!
While the scene was shocking, it also seemed a little strange!
The crowd instantly quieted down.
But at this time, Wang Ye didn't give everyone a chance to react.
He directly came to the second circle of light that trapped the bloodthirsty rhinoceros.
This was a fierce beast with an extremely strong constitution and strength.
Constitution was related to physical defense, so using Feather Cut was not an option.
Wang Ye patted Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu rose with all its might. Its wings flickered once again, and it swung them with a speed that left afterimages!
The intense light formed a powerful green hurricane!
Within the hurricane, there seemed to be many invisible wind blades cutting through the battlefield!
The entire training ground surged with gusts of wind currents!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
After being cultivated to a high realm, even the simple skill Wind was very powerful!
The hurricane strikes from all directions almost instantly cut countless wounds on the bloodthirsty rhinoceros!
In less than a few seconds, the bloodthirsty rhinoceros fell to the ground on the spot.
The last one was the devil skeleton ghost.
It had both high spiritual and physical resistance, strong strength, and a fleshy body.
The only things that it was lacking were agility and spiritual energy.
However, such a fierce beast that had some power of strangeness in its body would not fall even if it stood there and let one attack it for ten minutes, let alone five minutes!
Yet...
"Use Wind and Feather Cut together, and instantly kill it."
Did the others understand the value of the purple characteristic Strange God Nemesis?
Wang Ye waved his hand.
Xiao Jiu once again flew up high and used the two moves consecutively, but it didn't seem to have consumed much spiritual energy.
At this time, its wings were extended high. First, the wind was swept up, enveloping this half-human-shaped demon skeleton ghost that was at least three meters tall.
Then, Xiao Jiu rushed into the hurricane, and spun with the hurricane's airflow, then used Feather Cut.
It slashed with the wind!
The blades powered up!
Faced with the strange spiritual energy, the devil skeleton ghost was slightly stunned. In an instant, it was slashed by Xiao Jiu's wings!
Boom!
It fell to the ground and its head was separated from its body.
Wang Ye walked out of the circle of light and looked at the dumbfounded crowd. He said to Commander Lin, "How about it?"
