"Tier Four potion, how is that possible, he must have cheated." "Exactly, even my teacher couldn’t concoct a Strength Potion in one hour." "Hey, if I were to cheat, I definitely wouldn’t choose first place, it’s too obvious." The students discussed among themselves. Some were convinced that it was cheating. Others thought it impossible. The committee members immediately checked the surveillance, and Ye Lin walked up to the microphone. "Hello everyone, after verifying the surveillance footage, no evidence was found of contestant Ye Bai cheating." "Regarding Ye Bai’s experiment process, we have uploaded all the surveillance footage online." "You can open your screens and find the uploaded footage there." "Double-click to play, and you’ll see the entire experiment process." "Our Flame Country Young Qilin Cup employs fair, just, and open methods, and we welcome everyone to supervise at any time." "But please refrain from making cheating allegations based on personal speculation." Even though Ye Lin emphasized this repeatedly, voices of doubt arose again. "Teacher, when I watched the footage, after Ye Bai saw the topic on the display, he immediately placed an order without even thinking, isn’t that suspicious?" A female student publicly questioned. Her implication was obvious too, if Ye Bai hadn’t known the answers ahead of time, how could he have chosen the materials so quickly. When she picks materials, she ponders for ages, considering proportions and such. At this moment, Ye Lin’s gaze fell on Ye Bai: "Ye Bai, may I disclose your talent to everyone?" Ye Lin sought Ye Bai’s consent. "Of course, no problem." "It’s not really a public secret." Ye Bai nodded in agreement. "Ye Bai’s talent is Unforgettable, so he can instantly remember everything he’s seen." "There’s nothing unfair about the entire exam, please take heed, everyone." "We will announce the rankings shortly." "As with the provincial Young Qilin Cup, only the top 200 will advance to the second round." When the rankings were completely displayed on the big screen, some looked ashen, and others were grief-stricken. Especially the person in 201st place, who was just 0.01 points away from the 200th place. This will likely become a lifelong heart demon for that 201st person. "Students ranked above 200, please pack your belongings." "To maintain fair and just competition, you will be transferred to another big hotel." Ye Lin thought for a moment and spoke again. This was also to prevent these individuals from getting desperate and sabotaging the qualifiers. "Everyone has worked hard today, please head back to your rooms to rest." "Tomorrow morning at nine, gather here, we will proceed with the second round, healing Pet Beasts." According to past Young Qilin Cup competition items, the first round is potion concoction, the second round is healing Pet Beasts, and the third round is Pet Beast nurturing. But this year, the rules suddenly changed. Ye Bai happened to pass by the fountain in the lobby. He looked up at the pouring statue. Why are the statue’s eyes reflective, what’s placed inside? Although curiosity killed the cat, Ye Bai couldn’t help but approach the fountain. He reached his hand into the eyes of the statue. But what he pulled out was four mirror fragments. But the pattern on the back of these mirrors looked so familiar. Holy crap, aren’t these the fragments of the broken mirror from the Space Pelican’s body? Strange, if these are mirror fragments, I should be able to see the gray mist with my eyes. Is this a high-quality imitation? Ye Bai planned to return to his room to experiment a bit. The people gathered once again. "Who exactly is this Ye Bai, do you know?" The voice beneath the round mask was electronically synthesized, clearly not wanting others to know his true identity. "I only know he’s from Shen Mountain Middle School, the champion of the Yandong Province Young Qilin Cup, and he’s published many papers with Zhang Lingxue in sic." The person wearing a triangular mask shared his intelligence. "What’s his relationship with Zhang Lingxue?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩 The others were puzzled. "I guess it must be a mentor-apprentice relationship." "Zhang Lingxue was once a Young Qilin Cup champion, she’s always had a discerning eye." "This person will undoubtedly become a major adversary for us, so we must find a way to deal with him." "To completely crush him, leaving no chance for recovery." Someone declared decisively. Soon, Ye Bai returned to the room and sent an email under the name of Y to Hu Zhu’s mailbox. It pointed out the differences between the Bee Eagle and the Wind Eagle, as well as his own speculations. Hu Zhu suddenly noticed an email pinned to the top. Curiously, he clicked it open and his face turned dark immediately. Subsequently, Hu Zhu called over Ye Lin and showed her the email. After reading the email, Ye Lin’s face immediately darkened. If the information disclosed in this email is true, it would be a very serious human accident. "President Ye, if what this person is revealing is true, we must take it seriously." "If something were to happen to students at the Young Qilin Cup, it would be hard to explain to their parents." "I suggest you investigate this privately and if any issues are discovered, replace the Exotic Beasts immediately." "Forget it, I’d better go with you." "I’m afraid some people might become desperate like a cornered dog." Yin Tiger followed President Ye to the storage warehouse for Exotic Beasts. President Ye clearly saw that the person responsible for guarding the warehouse showed a dodging expression the moment he saw her. Her heart sank immediately, could it be that there really is something fishy going on! President Ye used her authority to open the warehouse door. After spot-checking a batch of Beast Cards sealing Wind Eagles, she indeed found something suspicious. Quite a few of the Wind Eagles had black eyes. Under normal circumstances, President Ye wouldn’t have noticed this, but after the email reminder, she understood the severity of the situation. "You two are under arrest." "If there’s anything, explain it clearly in the confinement." President Ye felt it was her negligence that led to such an oversight. "You go check whether the backup Exotic Beasts have been tampered with." Hu Zhu further instructed. Because of this incident, to prevent any leaks, President Ye called in several trusted aides, and they worked throughout the night to finally prepare the backup Exotic Beasts. [1. In the second round of the Young Qilin Cup, an Exotic Beast called the Blast Dragon Turtle will appear. This Dragon Turtle looks much like a normal one, except that the normal Dragon Turtle has protruding Dragon Fangs while the Blast Dragon Turtle does not. It grew up in a sulfur-filled volcano, which is why it is full of sulfur, like foam, exploding at the slightest touch.] [2. The library at Imperial University has a book called Demonology, which describes many Demon Gods. It also includes a Summoning Array for summoning the seventy-first Demon God, Butaril. He enjoys bestowing scholars with immense wisdom and likes to eat succulent, juicy roast meat with butter beer.] [3. The Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm contains a large amount of top-grade crystals of the five attributes, as well as other crystals besides the Five Elements Attributes. Therefore, the Five Elements Butterflies in the Secret Realm are very powerful, and one can use the method of attribute mutual reinforcement and counteraction to defeat them.] [4. The Western Research Institute developed a new green leaf duckweed, which in the future will be called the Underwater Demon, with the Swordfish being the only creature that likes to eat it.] [5. Hu Zhu’s Thundering White Tiger did not know it was pregnant. Close to giving birth, it still fought with other Exotic Beasts daily, leading to massive bleeding and dying after failed rescue efforts.] So the topic has changed from the Bee Eagle and Wind Eagle to the Blast Dragon Turtle? This seems quite ridiculous; compared to the Blast Dragon Turtle, dealing with the Wind Eagle and Bee Eagle was much easier. The Blast Dragon Turtle has a dragon-like head, exudes a compelling presence; its shell is crimson, emanating a strong sulfur aura, which is its biggest difference from other Dragon Turtles. Its body resembles a land tortoise, with a stable and grand demeanor, and its shell is covered with explosive scars, marks left after the Blast Dragon Turtle explodes. The Blast Dragon Turtle frequently maintains a poised posture, as if ready to attack or release energy at any moment. This is because the Blast Dragon Turtle is timid; at the slightest disturbance, it chooses to self-destruct to enhance its sense of security. You could say this guy is a demolition fanatic. So Ye Bai sent another email throughout the night. By the time Hu Zhu saw this email, it was too late to replace the Blast Dragon Turtle. As a result, Hu Zhu handed over the ever-smiling Celestial Water Leopard. "Celestial Water Leopard, as I recall, you have an Exotic Beast called the Celestial Water Leopard." "As soon as the Celestial Water Leopard appears, a thick fog will develop, and the air’s humidity will reach a hundred percent." "Am I remembering that correctly?" Hu Zhu asked the Celestial Water Leopard with a grave expression. The Celestial Water Leopard nodded; Hu Zhu was not mistaken. Then Hu Zhu posed the next question. "What is the range covered by the mist released by your Celestial Water Leopard?" "Can it encompass the entire Phoenix Nest?" The Celestial Water Leopard thought for a moment: "It should be no problem." "Boss, what kind of difficult situation have you encountered?" "Tell me, maybe I can help solve it." Hu Zhu informed the Celestial Water Leopard about the appearance of the Explosive Dragon Turtle in the second round of the competition. After listening, the Celestial Water Leopard nodded: "Boss, if it’s about the explosion issue, I can assure you, there won’t be a problem." "But have you considered the next issue." "Will the water mist released by my Celestial Water Leopard provoke the Explosive Dragon Turtle?" "I know this guy has quite a temper." "They’re usually Tier Four Exotic Beasts, what if they get agitated and become wildly aggressive?" The Celestial Water Leopard raised its concern. Hu Zhu glared at the Celestial Water Leopard sternly: "Don’t you all have that under control?" "Could it be that the esteemed Tier Seven Pet Beast Master cannot handle a Tier Four Explosive Dragon Turtle?" Hu Zhu was quite speechless. The Celestial Water Leopard was somewhat at a loss: "Boss, the Explosive Dragon Turtle starts at Tier Four, not all Explosive Dragon Turtles are Tier Four, you need to make that distinction."
