Beast Taming Patrol

“Come, Su’er, this is your Uncle Li…”

“Hello, Uncle Li,” Lin Su politely greeted the middle-aged man standing beside his father, and then quietly stood aside, listening to his own father boast of his excellence, feeling somewhat strange in his heart.

After entering the Grand Martial Arena, Lin Zhen Nan had introduced Lin Su to quite a few elders, most of whom were clan leaders or elders of other martial families in Yongnan City, as well as some friends his father had made in his earlier years. Judging from the reactions of these elders upon seeing him, the original person must have known them.

His father probably wanted to use this casual approach to see if he could jog any memories, but he would likely be disappointed.

As for regaining the original person’s memories, Lin Su had already given up.

After exchanging pleasantries with the old friends, Lin Zhen Nan then took Lin Su back to the Lin Family’s seating area, where he and Lin Zhantian stood together, whispering about something while waiting for the members of the Yun Family to arrive. Meanwhile, Lin Su curiously examined the interior of the Grand Martial Arena.

Inside the Grand Martial Arena, a solid platform with dimensions of over a thousand meters in length and width could bear any battle within the rank of monarch. At the edge of the platform, there were ten identical stone pillars, each two to three meters wide, just enough to accommodate one person on top.

If one observed carefully, one would notice that among the ten pillars lined up in a row, the distance between the fifth and sixth pillar was slightly larger, dividing them into five on each side.

“Su’er, what are you looking at?”

Curious, Lin Ye asked, disrupting Lin Su’s observations. He turned his head and smiled slightly,”I’m looking at those stone pillars. Will the ones who place in the top five stand on them later?”

“Ah, you should’ve just asked me that!” Lin Ye laughed, “Although it’s my first time participating, I observed last year’s competition between our Lin Family members. Oh, I was sitting right over there.”

Lin Ye casually pointed to a row of seats behind him, which at the moment was filled with Lin Family members who had come to watch the battle. Seeing Lin Su and Lin Ye turn to look, they waved their fists, cheering and encouraging the two.

“The first phase of the competition is for the Lin Family and the Yun Family to determine who gets the five stone pillars, so at the beginning, it’s all about showing off your skills,” Lin Ye winked,”See that circle in the middle of the arena?”

Following Lin Ye’s indication, Lin Su quickly noticed a white-lined circle in the arena, about five hundred meters away from the stone pillars.

He nodded slightly, signaling Lin Ye to continue.

“At the start, all of us from the Lin Family participating in the competition will stand in that circle.” Lin Ye pointed to another circle,”That one over there is for the Yun Family, and it doesn’t concern us.”

“Once the starting signal is given, all of us must leave the circle and rush to occupy those five stone pillars, first come, first served,” Lin Ye said with a smile,”Simple, right?”

“The rules are indeed simple,” Lin Su nodded in agreement.

It was essentially no different from a race.

“So, the first five to occupy the pillars are considered in the top five?” he couldn’t help but ask,”Doesn’t that seem a bit hasty?”

“Of course, it won’t just end like that,” Lin Ye swung his arms,”Those who first occupy the pillars simply have a bit of an advantage over the others. Next, they have to face the challenges of those who didn’t get to a pillar, and if they lose the challenge, they have to give up their spot.”

“However, after giving up their spots, they can still challenge others. After all the challenges, those standing on the pillars will definitely be the five with the strongest abilities.”

“That’s fine,” Lin Su nodded slightly.

In terms of speed, Qiuqiu could use Snow Trace to leap into the air and take the lead.

In terms of strength, his two beast companions could join forces, overwhelming the others.

It was a sure thing.

“Oh, right, I need to remind you,” Lin Ye glanced at the two beast companions beside Lin Su and cleared his throat,”Su’er, your beast companions occupying a pillar on their own won’t count, you yourself must stand on it, and the same goes for combat, as long as you lose, it will be considered a defeat.”

“Is that so?” Lin Su frowned and then nodded,”Alright.”

If that was the case, the idea he had just had of using Qiuqiu to occupy a pillar was probably not going to work.

Relying solely on his own speed, it would be unlikely for him, in the Body Refining Realm, to outrun the Lin Family disciples in the Meridian Opening Realm, so the idea of occupying a pillar had to be discarded.

It would be better to wait until others had taken the pillars and then compete for ownership through challenges.

In the divine martial world, even Beast Tamers considered their beasts as weapons and tools, and martial artists naturally thought the same way. Hence, any judgment would be based on the Beast Tamer himself, without considering the beasts’ situation.

Lin Su had been psychologically prepared for this, so although he was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing Lin Ye’s explanation, he understood.

“After both families decide on their top five, how is the ranking of the top ten determined?” Lin Su couldn’t help but ask.

“Oh, that,” Lin Ye smiled,”It’s also simple.”

“Right now, these ten stone pillars are the same height,” Lin Ye pointed to the pillars in the center,”After the first round of the competition between the two families is over, the height of the ten pillars will become incrementally taller from one side to the other, representing the temporary ranking of the top ten.”

“Then, starting with the current tenth place, everyone takes turns choosing an opponent to challenge, with victory resulting in a ranking swap and defeat leaving the ranking unchanged.”
