Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 97 (Please Subscribe) Mechanical Maze

"This competition seems to be quite interesting."

Looking at the content of the Daoist School’s preliminary challenge, Chen Mo couldn’t help but comment. freewebnoveℓ.com

"In order to boost viewership and save time, the Daoist School Challenge canceled the single ring battle mode decades ago. Each session now has a different competition structure."

The second senior brother next to him enthusiastically explained.

Changing to such a structure also gives those Spirit Masters with only Extraordinary Low-level spirit beasts a chance for advancement.

Otherwise, encountering an Extraordinary High Stage spirit beast in the ring battle would most likely end in a one-round exit.

"This time, the Daoist School competition is held in Kyoto City. A total of 1,221 Daoist Schools from all over Dongxia are participating, with a total of 7,281 people. In the last session, our school’s ranking was 210. This time I set a small goal, top 100, it shouldn’t be too much, right?"

Master She scratched his bald head and said with a smile.

"Master, you must be joking, right?"

"Pressure’s on the senior brother!"

The martial brothers and sisters, unaware that She Lei’s Jingzhe had already evolved, felt their master was getting too ambitious.

Based on last year’s rather poor performance of the master, if they want the school’s ranking to reach the top 100, the senior brother would have to make it to the top 10 in the leadership group’s student competition.

Chen Mo immediately thought of the entry fee, knowing that the entry fee for this Daoist School competition is 10,000 Dongxia Coins.

This price might not be significant for a Spirit Master, but considering the large number of participants, over 7,000 people, just the entry fees alone would earn the organizers over 70 million!

Plus, with the audience tickets, TV broadcasting revenue, and peripheral income, it’s ridiculously profitable!

--------------------

In the afternoon, She Lei led the group to Kyoto City.

The mode of transportation was the Thundercloud.

The group rode on the cloud, feeling much like the immortals riding on the clouds in fantasy novels.

It’s just that this cloud was a bit dark.

I wonder if people below would think it’s about to rain...

Thundercloud’s speed was even faster than the high-speed train, taking only 3 hours to reach the athletes’ village in Kyoto City.

This specially built comprehensive hotel for the Daoist School Challenge can accommodate tens of thousands of people and is located right next to the Sky Dome Arena.

This time, the scale and influence of the Dongxia Daoist School Challenge is no less than that of the Olympic Games in the past life, perhaps even surpassing it.

After all, since the advent of the Spirit Era, being a Spirit Master is the most popular profession, bar none.

On Sunday, the effect of the Wish-making White Fox took effect again, today’s refreshed daily challenges are [Swift], [Harmless], and [Brewing Apprentice].

Chen Mo chose [Harmless] (green) and re-presented [Swift]. [Brewing Apprentice] requires independently brewing a pot of ordinary-grade wine, which he doesn’t have the conditions for yet, but can be done when the opportunity arises in the future.

Swift is an entry that appeared once before, requiring movement of 1,000 meters within 1 minute, which is naturally a breeze for Xiao Jiu now.

Harmless demands that 10 people feel you pose no threat. Tuantuan could have easily completed this challenge, but the little guy has social anxiety and refuses to interact with strangers, so Xiao Jiu had to do it.

Fortunately, Xiao Jiu easily completed the challenge thanks to his cute appearance.

The effect of the Harmless (green) entry is to reduce others’ desire to attack the wearer.

It’s quite a practical entry.

On Monday, the national Daoist School competition officially opened!

Chen Mo did not attend the opening ceremony but stayed in the hotel using [Absolute Sleep] to catch up on sleep.

He stayed up meditating all night yesterday and now felt his brain was groggy, as if his spirit was about to be drained.

As for why Chen Mo was pushing himself so hard.

Mainly because watching his own spirit beasts breakthrough as if drinking water gave him a sense of urgency.

More importantly, he wanted to use every minute and second to enhance his Spiritual Space and strive to contract the Isolated Island Spirit as soon as possible!

"Mmm~"

Waking up, the "Little Chef" Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit had already prepared lunch for him and the other two spirit beasts.

This made Chen Mo couldn’t help but sigh, having a sensible Food Spirit is truly wonderful!

After lunch, Chen Mo set off for the Sky Dome Arena.

As per the schedule.

The first morning is the opening ceremony, while the afternoon is for announcing the preliminary rules and selecting the competition rounds. The actual competition will begin tomorrow.

Though Chen Mo and others had already roughly understood the competition information, it remained a rumor, not necessarily reliable, so they felt reassured by checking it out, and it provided an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the venue.

The Sky Dome Arena, the venue for the preliminary rounds of this Daoist School competition, was reportedly built at the cost of several billion and serves as a venue for some important events.

After entering the arena, Chen Mo was amazed to find the arena seemed entirely different from any he’d seen before!

What greeted his eyes was a stone wall over ten meters high and hundreds of meters wide, entwined with Qing Teng, looking like a prehistoric relic.

Besides the ground seating surrounding the arena, there were also floating seats ten to thirty meters above the ground!

"This should be our competition ground, the Mechanical Maze, right? But it doesn’t look mechanical at all."

Looking at the massive stone wall in front of him, Chen Mo was puzzled.

He thought the Mechanical Maze would have a cyberpunk style!

"What you see as the Mechanical Maze is actually a Dominator Stage Mechanical Spirit Beast, created by mechanical master Liu Xixi over nearly a century. Now, it should be using camouflage, disguised as an ancient city wall."

Senior brother Lin Lan explained.

"I see!"

Chen Mo nodded and immediately curiously scanned it with the Spirit Master Bracelet.

[Spirit Beast Name: Mechanical Maze]

[Growth Level: ???]

[Race Level: Totem First Rank]

[Description: Created by mechanical master Liu Xixi after gathering inspiration from ancient ruins over a century, it possesses self-awareness and can transform into various forms.]

"It’s said this Mechanical Maze even has a robot form, capable of bursting with Totem Rank strength in a short time."

Lin Lan continued.

"Wow, it can even transform into a transformer!"

Chen Mo was envious.

Which boy could resist having a real "Transformer"?

I’ll have to get one myself if the opportunity arises.

What us boys want, we must get our hands on it.jpg

"Speaking of which, if I had completed the Mechanical Creator challenge earlier, and used Great Mechanic Soul on the Mechanical Maze, I wonder if the Mechanical Maze would have opened a backdoor for me."

Chen Mo couldn’t help but think.

Not long after, the event host began announcing the preliminary rules.

The first round of preliminaries was Maze Escape, roughly in line with the information received by Master She.

Only a bit more detail was added.

For instance, the student competition is divided into Extraordinary and Leadership groups, with no preliminaries for the master competition, which will take place in a traditional ring challenge after the student competition concludes.

Moreover, the Mechanical Key randomly refreshes after 2 minutes, and the maze constantly shifts locations, while "native creatures" inside will attack passing competitors.

In the end, only commoners can view the refresh location of the Mechanical Key and maze exit, with assassins getting no information at all.
