Zhou Tie and Qiu Jiawen never expected that even after they mentioned the difficulty of acquiring 'divine beast blood essence', this young man still remained so calm.
Forget about high-ranking divine beasts; even low-ranking divine beasts possess significant pride.
Especially since these divine beasts often hold a disdainful attitude towards any species other than themselves.
Under such circumstances, obtaining the blood essence of a divine beast, especially that of a high-ranking one, is far more challenging than acquiring the rare materials on the table.
Did this kid not understand the significance of high-ranking divine beast blood essence?
Just as these two divine-level professionals were about to patiently explain what high-ranking divine beast blood essence entails to Ling Zhan, a cute girl in a white dress came down from the second floor.
She tilted her head in confusion, looking at Ling Zhan, who was discussing something with the two divine-level professionals.
After signing the contract, a certain level of telepathy naturally exists between a divine beast and the contractor.
As they spend more time together and fight side by side, when their compatibility reaches a high level, they can achieve complete telepathy.
At this moment…
Ling Zhan naturally used his thoughts to communicate, inviting Meng Shuang, one of the Four Sacred Beasts, to come down.
When Qiu Jiawen and Zhou Tie saw the dragon horns on the forehead of this girl in a white dress and the conspicuous golden scales on her white neck…
Their bodies shuddered!
Their facial expressions twitched violently!
"This…"
Holy crap!
This guy actually has a divine beast in his villa!
What the heck!?
How come they hadn't heard that this guy also contracted such a divine beast!?
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qiu, is there any problem now?" At this time, Ling Zhan's tone remained as calm as ever.
He neither acted superior because he had contracted a divine beast nor showed any condescension for shocking the others.
He simply needed the Azure Dragon at the moment.
At this time.
Zhou Tie and Qiu Jiawen exchanged a solemn glance.
Then, in unison, they said,
"Don't worry, Mr. Ling, we will take care of this!"
...
A few days later.
The detailed information about the upcoming Global Monster Tournament was finally announced on the official website of the Ministry of Education of the Dragon Kingdom.
First, the host country for this Monster Tournament is the 'Holy Light Empire'.
It's worth mentioning…
All residents of the Holy Light Empire are human but not native to this world.
The Holy Light Empire appeared in this world simultaneously with various races and empires when the world underwent a catastrophic change.
Every person in this country has an innate affinity for light elements, so they call themselves the 'Holy Light Race'.
Because of this…
The people here generally choose professions that align with 'light elements' when they change jobs.
Light Mages.
Priests.
Holy Light Swordsmen.
Light Warriors.
And so on.
Also…
The princess of this Holy Light Empire is the fiancée of Tsukuyomi Wolf's son, Guy.
It is said that this princess is the most gifted genius in a century in the Holy Light Empire. She is also the chosen saint of the Light Church in the Holy Light Empire, and some even call her the 'Future Holy Light Empress'.
After swinging his sword ten thousand times in the school's training ground, Ling Zhan took a simple shower and then continued to browse information about the tournament's format.
This Global Monster Tournament features 74 participating countries.
Both the team and individual competitions adopt an elimination format, but the scale is different from ordinary tournaments.
For the Global Monster Tournament, each team competition requires 50 participants.
In other words, team matches are 50 versus 50.
With so many participants, it tests the team's cohesion, coordination, and the decision-making abilities of the commanders.
Each country has different numbers of participants for the individual competition. Some countries have only one participant, while others have two or three.
Only a dozen or so powerful countries have five individual competitors.
Ling Zhan was not selected for the team competition; he was only chosen as an individual competitor.
In fact, those qualified for the team competition were already selected during their second year by the Ministry of Education of the Dragon Kingdom.
Once selected, they underwent rigorous training and tempering.
In short, each team member in the team competition had already been well-coordinated with their teammates for a long time.
If Ling Zhan were to join suddenly, not to mention the strong protests and dissatisfaction from the replaced team members, the coordination would also need to be retrained.
Moreover, the officials felt that letting a freshman participate in both the team and individual competitions, like Li Chao Ge, was a bit too much.
The fifty-member team was composed of five selected members from the top ten schools.
As for those from second- and third-rate institutions…
Well.
If you want to participate, you can; it's all about strength!
If you're not strong enough, you just have to stay put!
Of course…
Now, no one thinks Ling Zhan is unqualified for the Global Monster Tournament.
Initially, many top junior talents from other prestigious schools were strongly dissatisfied with Ling Zhan, questioning why the last spot of the five individual competitors was given to a freshman instead of being selected from their juniors.
But after He Chuan's defeat and Shou Jingyuan and Ke Long being disgraced…
The dissenting voices gradually faded.
After reading the event information.
Ling Zhan continued his routine of training, and training only.
The three divine beast girls, forced by Ling Zhan to train with him, even though their divine beast bodies were incredibly strong, were still exhausted.
They finally understood why Ling Zhan was so strong.
Indeed…
Talent is indispensable.
But the key is, this monstrous guy not only has extraordinary talent but also works harder than anyone else in training!
He has almost no social life; besides eating and sleeping, he spends all his time in the training ground!
Occasionally, he relaxes by browsing books in the campus library or watching past Global Tournament videos!
He's already such a monstrous person!
Yet he still uses all his passion to work silently!
This made the three divine beast girls feel deeply ashamed.
They even began to wonder…
If they abandoned their divine beast bloodline and the advantages it brought, relying solely on their efforts to improve, what would their true level be?
Some might think, isn't Ling Zhan so abnormal because of the system?
Indeed…
But without the system, Ling Zhan would have chosen a profession, not remained a non-specialist!
Moreover…
He wouldn't have chosen the mage profession; he would have chosen the swordsman profession, which perfectly matches his terrifying battle instinct!
Sword God, a profession that demands an extremely keen battle instinct and maximum proficiency with weapons, would still allow Ling Zhan to shine brilliantly!
