Chapter 527: Fortress Turtle
Chapter 527: Fortress Turtle
The staff member fell silent for a moment, then picked up the identity card from the table and scanned it.
In the next second, his eyes widened as he stared at the information on the computer, his mouth slightly agape, frozen in shock.
"Are you done?" Qiao Sang asked after waiting for a while.
"Y-Yes, yes!" The staff member, as if suddenly waking up, quickly picked up the identity card and handed it over with both hands.
Qiao Sang took it and put it in her pocket, then walked inside.
After Qiao Sang left, the staff member excitedly pulled out his mobile phone, opened a group chat, and started typing furiously:
[Damn! You won't believe what happened today at work. I met a total psychopath!]
Qiao Sang found a seat and sat down, watching the ongoing evaluation match attentively.
The evaluation was still in progress, and both sides were using familiars she had never seen before.
This was different from the National Campus Beastmaster League and the E-Rank Beastmaster Exam she had participated in before.
In the National Campus Beastmaster League, she could know her opponents and their familiars in advance, allowing her to prepare accordingly. In the E-Rank Beastmaster Exam in Yuhua Region, she was also familiar with the general situation of the familiars there.
But here, in Supernest, the familiars they sent out were completely unknown. She wouldn’t even know their attributes until they clashed.
Of course, Qiao Sang wasn’t worried about failing the evaluation. It was just better to be cautious.
Meanwhile, the people around her all turned their attention from the match to Qiao Sang.
"What's going on? Is she here for the evaluation too?"
"Can't be, she looks way too young."
"She's definitely not. She looks like a high school student. How could she be here for the D-Rank Beastmaster Exam?"
"I've heard that some super prodigies become D-Class Beastmasters before college."
"But that's usually during their junior year. Does she look like she's a junior?"
"What's the point of arguing? It's obvious she's not. Have you ever seen a professional Beastmaster bring their familiar to an evaluation?"
The group of about a dozen people continued to chatter and speculate.
At that moment, a scorpion-like familiar, over three meters tall, was sent flying out of the ring and lay motionless with its eyes closed.
"Evaluation failed", the man standing on the left side of the ring said coolly. "Next."
The woman at the side table coordinated with the operation and clicked on the computer.
The screen displaying the participants' information immediately changed to the next page.
At the same time, a mechanical electronic voice echoed in the room:
"Number 39, please step forward for your evaluation."
Qiao Sang stood up and walked onto the field.
The evaluation room fell into a brief silence as everyone, except the staff member who had verified Qiao Sang’s identity at the entrance, stared in shock at the girl who had just entered the ring.
He, however, was frantically typing:
[The psychopath is up for evaluation! The psychopath is up for evaluation!]
On the field, Fangy leaped from Qiao Sang’s arms and landed gracefully.
The moment Qiao Sang stepped into the ring, the experienced male examiner was taken aback.
But when he saw Fangy, he raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting to the Compact Shrinking Bracelet on its claws, instantly intrigued.
This was a familiar he had never seen before.
The male examiner gave Qiao Sang a deep look, then waved his hand, recalling the scorpion-like familiar from the field.
He formed a hand seal.
In the next second, the Amber Star Array lit up on the ground.
Following that, a turtle-like familiar appeared on the field. It stood over three meters tall, on its hind legs, with a deep blue body, white eyes, and a light blue belly. Its back was protected by a hard shell.
"Although I’ve never seen your familiar before, don’t think that will make the evaluation easy for you", the male examiner said.
There were countless familiars in the world, and it was impossible to know them all. However, most familiars could be roughly identified by their appearance and color.
For example, the red patterns on Fangy’s body and its small wings made of flames.
And the blue color and hard shell of the turtle familiar in front of them.
This familiar is a Water-Type... Just one glance, and Qiao Sang made the judgment.
It seems the other side has also guessed that Fangy is a Fire-Type. But if you knew it also has a Psychic-Type, you probably wouldn't have said that... Qiao Sang looked at the distant examiner with a complex expression and said:
"Fangy."
"Yah!"
Fangy's face lit up with excitement, and it let out a call. Then its body gradually grew, returning to its original size.
Red and white fur danced, and the flame-like wings on its shoulders suddenly heated up, sending a terrifying wave of heat swirling around Fangy.
The crimson flames, the luxurious fur, and the powerful body—though it was just a proportional enlargement, it exuded an overwhelming aura, making it seem incredibly regal.
Everyone's eyes widened.
"Oh! My God! I thought this was just a familiar being used as a Companion Beast!"
"It's so handsome!"
"It feels like its value has increased a hundredfold..."
"I've never heard of a familiar like this before!"
"From the aura alone, Fortress Turtle is at a huge disadvantage!"
"Bao Bao..." On the field, Fortress Turtle, seeing the opponent it was about to face, couldn't help but look cautious.
"The evaluation begins." The mechanical electronic voice sounded at that moment.
"Waterfield." The male examiner issued the command immediately.
A thin layer of blue water suddenly enveloped Fortress Turtle.
At the same time, a third of the arena turned blue, as if it had become a Water Arena.
The ground sank, and water surged, with the center position being exactly where Fangy was!
Everyone's attention focused on the unnamed familiar.
The expected scene of rapid movement or a direct attack didn't happen.
Fangy suddenly vanished from everyone's sight.
Fortunately, the arena was limited in size, and everyone soon saw Fangy in mid-air.
This is a familiar with a Psychic-Type! The thought popped into everyone's mind in unison.
The male examiner also realized this and his expression became more serious.
Before he could issue the next command, a brilliant red flame suddenly shot down toward Fortress Turtle.
Rich combat experience made Fortress Turtle instinctively shoot a thick Water Jet to block it.
Although Water-Type is effective against Fire-Type, when the two energies collided, the flame clearly overpowered the Water Jet.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion sounded just two meters from Fortress Turtle, and the shockwave, accompanied by the flames, dispersed the thick fog.
The male examiner remained calm.
He knew Fortress Turtle's reaction speed and was confident it had retreated into its shell.
When the fog cleared, he indeed saw Fortress Turtle's limbs and head retracted into its shell.
The male examiner was satisfied and was about to give the next command when he suddenly sensed something, causing his heart to sink.
Is Fortress Turtle in pain? Why... The male examiner focused his gaze on Fortress Turtle.
He saw it rolling and writhing, with its shell showing traces of red.
The male examiner, standing on the field, had a limited view, which was blocked by the fog from the explosion. However, the audience in the stands could see everything clearly.
The unnamed familiar opened its mouth twice.
The first time, it shot out a Flame Vortex, and the second time, it took advantage of the explosion to shoot out an invisible flame.
The temperature was so high that the air around it even distorted slightly.
"Use Water Jet on yourself!" The male examiner quickly ordered.
"Flame Fang." At the same time, Qiao Sang said.
Fortress Turtle extended its head and opened its mouth, but before it could shoot out the Water Jet, Fangy had already teleported next to it, baring its fangs.
The giant head of the Blazing Star Hound, formed by condensed flames, mercilessly bit down, fangs bared.
"Bao Bao!!!"
Fortress Turtle let out a pitiful cry.
The male examiner's pupils constricted.
Three seconds later, seeing Fortress Turtle lying motionless on the ground, the mechanical electronic voice sounded again:
"Number 39, evaluation passed."
