“Haozi, something’s not right?” As they quickly headed toward Lin Su’s direction, Zhao Tianchen’s expression slightly changed, “Why are so many people rushing toward Lin Su?”
“Hmm?” Zhong Hao looked around, only realizing something was off about the direction in which the beams of light were moving after Zhao Tianchen pointed it out.
All the beams of light seemed to be converging in Lin Su’s direction.
Not far ahead, Lin Su’s beam of light had already converged with the beam of the second-ranking contestant, and the third-ranking contestant’s beam was also very close.
“Damn it!” Zhao Tianchen realized something was wrong, “Do they also want to challenge Lin Su and take half of his Hunting Points?”
“What?” Zhong Hao couldn’t sit still any longer, “Then it’s done for, we need to speed up!”
“Let’s go!” Zhao Tianchen suddenly increased his speed, running quickly toward Lin Su, “We need to get there before the second-ranking contestant challenges Lin Su and stop them!”
Zhong Hao hurried after him, “If the second-ranking contestant wins, then Lin Su won’t accept a second challenge for an hour!”

Zhao Tianchen nodded silently, his brows furrowed deeply.
There was a problem!
A big problem!
Both of them, having previously fought against Lin Su as Beast Tamers, were very clear about Lin Su’s strength.
Over a month ago, Lin Su’s pet beast, Xue Henqing, was still at its juvenile stage, with its only advantage being a high skill proficiency.
Back then, what Lin Su relied on to defeat them was the higher skill proficiency.
But those advantages had now almost been leveled.
It was easiest to raise a skill from Level I to Level II, but to elevate it from Level II to Level III was extremely difficult. The skill proficiency advantage that Lin Su had before was now almost gone as the skill proficiency levels of their own pet beasts had successively reached Level II.
They had also considered the fact that Lin Su’s Xue Henqing had advanced to the elite rank, but weren’t their own pet beasts at the elite rank as well?
At the elite rank, the disparity in strength would further increase based on different species and ranks of pet beasts.
The high-ranked elite species, Xue Henqing, facing the high command species of their pet beasts, would be at an absolute disadvantage, especially since their attributes counteracted each other.
From any perspective, Lin Su’s strength couldn’t possibly surpass theirs.
Therefore, upon hearing that Lin Su was ranked first in total points, after a brief moment of daze, they quickly concluded through analysis that Lin Su must have some special tactic to score highly in the assessments and it wasn’t because of the strength of his pet beast.
By challenging him, not only could they teach him a lesson, but they could also gain half of his points.
Two birds, one stone!
This must be the biggest easy target in the practical exam.
And those who knew Lin Su’s real strength definitely weren’t many!
This was a great opportunity for them!
But now the problem arose; the two of them knew Lin Su’s real strength and believed in their certain victory, which is why they rushed to Lin Su’s location first. But why would other people run toward Lin Su?
Logically, without knowing his real strength and seeing Lin Su’s top rank in points, shouldn’t they be cautious, observing and not daring to approach so easily?
Could they also know that Lin Su isn’t strong?
That shouldn’t be the case.
“Tianchen, do you think Lin Su really earned these over ten thousand points through some special trick?” As they ran, Zhong Hao couldn’t hold back, “Is there a possibility… I mean, could it be possible… that his pet beast also evolved?”
“You mean Xue Henqing evolved?” Zhao Tianchen shook his head, “I don’t believe it.”
He naturally knew that Lin Su had mentioned researching Xue Henqing’s evolved form a month ago.
But what of it?
Zhao Tianchen wasn’t like Zhong Hao, completely ignorant about research on evolved forms. His father was a researcher at Zhongtian University, and since childhood, he had followed his father in studying research on evolved forms, thus he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to establish a brand-new evolved form.
Especially for Xue Henqing.
When he first learned that Lin Su wanted to research Xue Henqing’s evolved form, Zhao Tianchen had even specifically consulted his father, who was far away in District 2.
His father’s exact words were:
“Lin Su being able to discover a Spirit evolution skill that others couldn’t at this young age is quite genius. If he spends a lot of time researching Xue Henqing’s evolved form, I believe he might achieve something, but it is impossible within a month. If it were that easy, so many researchers wouldn’t have failed over the years.”
With his father’s assurance, Zhao Tianchen was more confident in his statement.
“Then…” Zhong Hao frowned, pausing for a moment before speaking again, “Is there a possibility… I mean, could it be possible… that Lin Su’s Beast Taming Space reached the third level, and he contracted a second pet beast, and that this second pet beast is very strong?”
“Pfft!” Zhao Tianchen shook his head with a scoff, “Please! We all only started cultivating the Beast Taming Space a few months ago. Do you think someone can cultivate their Beast Taming Space from the first level to the third in just a few months? That possibility is even slimmer than Lin Su figuring out the evolved form for Xue Henqing!”
“It seems so…” Zhong Hao shook his head, murmuring, “I’m just worried. I don’t know why, but the closer we get to Lin Su’s location, the more anxious I feel.”
“I think Lin Su left too big a psychological shadow on you!” Zhao Tianchen shook his head, “Don’t worry, once we defeat Lin Su this time, there won’t be any more shadows.”
