Chapter 373: Don't Be Discouraged, You're Already Amazing!

'Boom!'

A loud rumble echoed before Qin Xiaoxue.

Accompanied by a tremor like an earthquake, a hint of relaxation flashed through Qin Xiaoxue's cold and stern gaze.

Then, Qin Xiaoxue waved her hand,

On the even more massive body of the Life Ancient Tree compared to before, a green light blossomed, and a green orb of light entered the Life Ancient Tree's body from the corpse of a fallen beast.

This was a Sovereign-ranked Great Ape of Strength.

Its strength and speed were both top-notch, and although its cultivation was only at the third stage of the Sovereign rank, its power was exceptional among its peers.

However, such a powerful companion beast only slightly taxed Qin Xiaoxue's Life Ancient Tree.

It was so easy that even the Flower Fairy didn't need to intervene.

Death came swiftly to the Great Ape of Strength.

【Ding...】

Hearing the notification from her wristband, Qin Xiaoxue didn't smile but instead looked annoyed at the rankings displayed on it, which were from the Mundane Capital Academy.

She was no longer securely in second place; she had dropped to third.

Indeed, after three days of intense combat assessment, on the last day of the Provincial Exam, her ranking had been pushed down by one person.

This person was none other than Dongmuxuan, who was younger than her.

He had surpassed her by over five hundred exam credits.

This number of exam credits was already quite substantial, especially at this stage.

The resources, beasts, and nearly everything in the secret realm had been thoroughly scavenged by them.

Those who remained in the secret realm were all the old Sixths preparing to hunt other Beastmaster students.

Of course, Qin Xiaoxue's strength was unquestionably formidable.

There were a few inconspicuous ones who tried to cause trouble for her, but she swiftly dealt with them.

And then... that was it.

The reason was simple—among her three companion beasts, aside from the mysterious Flower Fairy, neither the Crown Wolf King nor the Life Ancient Tree specialized in speed.

Hence, it was a bit awkward.

Who in the Mundane Capital Advanced Academy didn't know of Miss Qin? Only those with truly addled brains would dare to invite trouble.

But Ye Zhou and Dongmuxuan, one with temporal abilities and the other with spatial powers, could easily hunt other students.

Even so, the number of participants from the academy was far fewer than those competing as provincial teams, or their exam credits would be even more impressive.

How could Miss Qin, who was always strong-willed, not be annoyed?

However, aside from the Crown Wolf King, the Flower Fairy was Miss Qin's trump card prepared for the Imperial Capital's Final Exam. If enemies were to prepare for it in advance, wouldn't that be a significant loss?

More importantly, even if the Flower Fairy joined the battle, it would be challenging to catch up to the speed of the first two.

Nevertheless, Qin Xiaoxue had a thick skin and didn't take it to heart.

As long as she placed in the top ten in the Provincial Exam, she would qualify for the Final Exam.

There was no point in arguing about rankings in the Provincial Exam; regardless, once they reached the Imperial Capital, they would compete on a platform against all participants to truly discern their strengths.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoxue glanced at the rankings on her wristband.

At this moment, only a dozen or so people remained in the secret realm.

Apparently, according to Qin Xiaoxue's estimate, the secret realm of the Provincial Exam had come to an end.

Her ranking would likely stay as it was.

Finding the last Sovereign-ranked Great Ape of Strength here didn't mean others could do the same.

Such a rare find, if not for the Flower Fairy's ability to communicate with all plants, might have gone unnoticed.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoxue finally put her mind at ease and thought of other matters, like the situation with Su Ping, whom she cared about the most.

How was he doing?

She wasn't sure if he could make it into the top ten.

Although Qin Xiaoxue thought it should be no problem for him, he always liked to do unexpected things.

Even so, Qin Xiaoxue was still a bit worried.

There was no choice; Su Ping was indeed young, and it was already remarkable for him to have awakened for a year, with his meditation and companion beast reaching the Overlord rank.

It was challenging to compete with those who had immersed themselves in cultivation for who knows how many years at this stage.

However...

Qin Xiaoxue once again thought about the Origami Man from the Hundred Blossom Secret Realm. Her heart relaxed slightly.

"But, can that Companion Beast still perform at that level in the Provincial Exam Mystic Realm?"

Although Qin Xiaoxue was a bit reckless, she wasn't stupid.

It didn't make sense for an Origami Man to bombard the Imperial Rank Emperor Rank Peony like that.

But there was no use thinking about it here. Judging by the situation, there probably wouldn't be any surprises in the internal assessment of the Imperial Capital Academy.

Now, there were only about ten hours left until the official end of the three-day Provincial Exam.

Ten hours was not a short time.

After all, the scale of the Imperial Capital Academy's exam was not large, and the number of participants was definitely fewer than those in the Jianghai Province's exam.

Naturally, the competition wasn't as intense as in Jianghai.

Perhaps she could still go out now and take a good look at this guy before the end!

With this thought, Qin Xiaoxue didn't hesitate. She took one last look at the rankings and saw that several more had already withdrawn. She decisively pressed the withdrawal button.

A ray of light instantly enveloped her, and she stored all her Companion Beasts in the Taming Beast Space. At the same time, the space vortex solidified.

The next moment, Qin Xiaoxue's body disappeared.

In its place was the center of the massive stadium.

"Senior Qin is out! Senior Qin is out!"

"Senior Qin ended up in third place! I didn't expect her to be overtaken by Dong Muchuan!"

"That's already very good. I didn't expect Senior Qin to find a Sovereign Rank Beast at the end. Companion Beasts with Spatiality really have an advantage in speed and stealing kills!"

"I believe Senior Qin's ranking will greatly improve when she reaches the Imperial Capital for the Final Trial!"

"..."

Ignoring the buzz of discussion in the stadium and its surroundings.

Qin Xiaoxue was about to pick up her phone to check on Su Ping's situation as soon as the signal was restored.

Just then, a voice called out from a distance:

"Miss Qin!"

Qin Xiaoxue looked up and, as expected, it was Ye Zhou.

She showed a hint of vigilance, but soon remembered that the assessment was over, and her tensed body relaxed:

"What's up? You're out too?"

Ye Zhou shrugged: "There's nothing left inside. But we were one after the other, and I just came out not long ago."

"Hmph, you won the Provincial Exam, but your Companion Beast is more suitable for this kind of trial. Once we reach the Imperial Capital, it'll be different."

Qin Xiaoxue scoffed. As the granddaughter of Sang Sheng, she had been at the Imperial Capital Academy for many years, and her ranking had always been suppressed by this guy. It was impossible for her to not feel resentful.

This time, going to the Imperial Capital, Ye Zhou was also Qin Xiaoxue's top hypothetical enemy.

"Hehe, Miss Qin must have held back, but I won't reveal all my strength either! However, it seems that I won't be keeping that move for Miss Qin..."

Ye Zhou smiled slyly.

Qin Xiaoxue was most annoyed by this guy's pretentious and mysterious act. She scoffed:

"You should be worried about getting overturned in the gutter and not even being able to see me! But it's true, I heard that this time, there are several quite capable ones at the Imperial Capital Academy."

Ye Zhou smiled faintly and didn't say much more. Instead, he changed the topic:

"You just came out, and you haven't checked on Su Ping's situation yet? Hurry and take a look."

Qin Xiaoxue was taken aback.

Then she saw that Ye Zhou had already turned and left. Her eyebrows furrowed.

Did something happen to Su Ping? No, even if he couldn't perform at the level she had seen before, he should still be in the top ten in the Provincial Exam, right?

With this thought, Qin Xiaoxue didn't bother to stay in the center of the stadium. She directly reopened her phone and, with familiar ease, entered the live stream of this vocational assessment, quickly typing in the keywords related to Su Ping in the Jianghai Province.

However, when she entered the live stream, Qin Xiaoxue's heart sank.

Because at this moment, the live stream was pitch black.

In the black screen, a single line of large characters read:

'The competition has ended. The scores of the participating students have been confirmed.'

Ended?!

Qin Xiaoxue blinked, her white teeth biting her lips.

She was very clear about what this meant.

It should be known that it was only midday on the third day, and there were still ten hours until the end of the Provincial Exam.

In the Jianghai Province, where all Beastmaster students from the province participated in the assessment, the number of participants was unimaginable. How could it have ended so quickly?

Indeed, with such a large number of participants, the elimination of other students would undoubtedly have a decisive impact on their scores!

But to withdraw from the assessment so early?

It's obvious that there's only one possible outcome.

Su Ping was eliminated prematurely!

Considering this possibility, Qin Xiaoxue's brows furrowed even tighter.

For a moment, she felt a bit anxious and guilty.

Could it be that the pressure she put on Su Ping was too much, leading to some unexpected situation?

At this thought, Qin Xiaoxue quickly opened Su Ping's contact list and sent him a direct message:

'Keep it up! Even if you can't make it to the final exam, you're the most talented in my heart! Your nurturing results have already proven yourself, and you're already amazing. There's no need to compare yourself with beastmasters older than you. Don't be discouraged!'

After sending the message, Qin Xiaoxue's heart didn't feel any better. Instead, she wanted to hurry to Linzhou to comfort this guy in person.

After all, she was quite familiar with Su Ping and knew that this stinker was actually a very conceited person. He had previously told her that being eliminated like this would make him feel terrible.

However, just as she was considering whether to call him directly or fly over, Su Ping's message came again, this time with one more word than before:

'Huh?'

What does 'huh' mean? Qin Xiaoxue blinked.

Just as she was about to explain further, a voice came from not far away, running closer:

"Xiaoxue! What are you doing standing here? Hey, this time, we three sisters made it to the top ten in the academy, and we can go to the Imperial Capital together! Yay!"

Qin Xiaoxue didn't need to look up to know it was her roommate, Lu Xiaolu's voice.

However, at this moment, she obviously didn't share the excitement of Lu Xiaolu and Ling Xiaoxiao, and her brows furrowed.

The two good friends noticed Qin Xiaoxue's expression, and Ling Xiaoxiao patted Qin Xiaoxue's shoulder:

"Xiaoxue, don't worry. The rankings in this grand mystic realm assessment don't determine everything. There's still the final exam to look forward to. Don't be discouraged!"

Qin Xiaoxue spoke up:

"It's not me, it's Su Ping. He seems to have not done well in the exam. I was just thinking about how to comfort him. You two came just in time. Help me think of something."

However, after saying this, Qin Xiaoxue, who had been staring at her phone waiting for Su Ping's message, didn't get any suggestions from her two good friends.

She lifted her head and saw Ling Xiaoxiao and Lu Xiaolu approaching with strange expressions.

"What's with those looks?"

Ling Xiaoxiao was slightly embarrassed:

"Xiaoxue, did you just come out? Haven't you seen Su Ping's results yet?"

Hmm? Qin Xiaoxue's neck stiffened, and then she saw Lu Xiaolu open her phone, which was playing Su Ping's video.

However, it was already at the final stage, and while she couldn't see the previous results, she could see the rankings.

Finally, Qin Xiaoxue looked at the final rankings of the Jianghai Province Exam, and her originally pale face was now flushed with excitement.

She had been hasty? How did this guy achieve this score?

Seeing the messages from Qin Xiaoxue on the phone, one after another, getting more and more embarrassed, Su Ping was also confused with question marks and black lines on his forehead.

What is she talking about? Just as Su Ping was thinking about calling her back, his phone suddenly rang.

Su Ping's brows rose, but after a moment's thought, he answered the call.

A slightly deep voice came from the other end:

"Hello, is this Su Ping, the beastmaster?"
