Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 434 - 380: The Intercollegiate Exchange Tournament Begins

Chapter 434: Chapter 380: The Intercollegiate Exchange Tournament Begins

The teleportation array to Qilin City is inside the Cyan Dragon Daoist School.

The few people chatted as they walked, gradually becoming acquainted. When the four of them learned that Chu Chen was just a freshman, their previous discontent completely vanished, replaced by utter astonishment.

After some conversation, Chu Chen came to understand a bit about the university exchange competition.

This university exchange competition is divided into team and individual competitions, and the two events will be interspersed. Contestants need not worry about the consumption of their Guardian Beasts.

Because Qilin City has prepared over a hundred Support Beast Masters for the contestants, they can restore the Beasts’ states to peak condition in a very short time.

Among the five, only Chu Chen and Xiong Chen participated in the individual competition, while the other three felt they could not achieve a good ranking and thus did not sign up. After all, the competition in the individual contest is fiercer than the team contest.

There are over a hundred academies participating in this exchange, but the top five academies are seeded, advancing directly to the top ten and not needing to participate in the preliminary eliminations.

The students participating in the individual contests number in the thousands, and the minimum requirement of strength is Monarch Level.

As a white light flashed, the five disappeared into the teleportation array.

When Chu Chen regained consciousness, he was already at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School in Qilin City.

They were received by an elder of advanced age, the director of the Qilin City branch hall, Yang Yan, who is genuinely an Emperor Level powerhouse.

After a few polite exchanges, Yang Yan arranged for a staff member named Zhan Peng to take care of their meals and accommodations during this time.

Do not underestimate him, as he is a King Level Beast Master.

It is clear that Director Yang Yan places great importance on their arrival.

Under Zhan Peng’s guidance, everyone quickly settled down.

"It’s your first time in Qilin City, take this opportunity to have Zhan Peng show you around, but remember not to stay out too late, as the opening ceremony of the exchange competition is tomorrow," Long Feiyang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone was naturally delighted. Qilin City is the headquarters of the Alliance, a supercity filled with countless strong beings, where even Emperor Level powerhouses are not rare.

There are no Beast Tides here, and the surrounding Star Beasts are all in captivity.

In such a city, one experiences an unprecedented sense of security.

Qilin City truly deserves the title of the only supercity in the entire Alliance; in terms of city size, it is equivalent to three Cyan Dragon Cities. The number of registered combat-type Beast Masters in the city reaches five million, with a total population of over ten million.

The streets in the city are incredibly wide, capable of accommodating ten carriages side by side, with bustling crowds on the streets.

Chu Chen finally sensed the prosperity akin to his past life, as skyscrapers are everywhere and the streets and alleys are filled with a dazzling array of goods.

The night in Qilin City is even more beautiful, with bright lights and vibrant nightlife, and instead of diminishing, the number of pedestrians on the streets seems to be subtly increasing.

Chu Chen and the others wandered around the city for an entire day, returning to the Daoist School only around midnight.

Everyone had a look of having not yet satisfied their curiosity, clearly not having their fill of fun.

This time, Chu Chen once again severely astonished everyone.

Buying specialties, buying cultivation resources, buying food, drinks, and necessities cost billions of gold coins.

Chu Chen’s wealth had long been nearly depleted, so what to do without money?

Of course, engage in gambling. The gambling egg industry in Qilin City is more prosperous than in any other city, with an entire street filled with Gambling Egg Pavilions, numbering over a hundred, large and small.

Chu Chen did not hesitate, directly entering Gambling Egg Master mode, winning one or two million at smaller Egg Pavilions and leaving immediately. In larger Gambling Egg Pavilions, he would leave after winning tens of millions.

This method of gambling did not cause much of a sensation, and no one noticed anything special about him.

Gambling down the whole street, he won over two hundred million.

In response to everyone’s inquiries, he just brushed it off as good luck.

But no one naturally believed such lies, though they couldn’t delve into it deeply, leaving them feeling exceedingly frustrated.

Without any further words, it was already the morning of the next day.

Xiong Chen and the others, with dark circles under their eyes, looked resentfully at Chu Chen. Apparently, the shock he brought them last night was too much, causing them to toss and turn all night.

Chu Chen, on the other hand, slept well and was in great spirits since he had freely acquired a massive amount of cultivation resources the day before.

Seeing Xiong Chen and the others’ state, Long Feiyang said somewhat displeasedly, "I told you today was the opening ceremony of the exchange competition, yet you dared to play so late. If it affects the competition, I won’t let you get away with it." With that, he stomped out of the room.

Xiong Chen and the others could only give Chu Chen a glare and cautiously followed along.

The venue for the university exchange competition is at Qilin Academy.

Shortly afterward, the group arrived at Qilin Academy, verified their identities, and led by volunteers, arrived at the competition venue.

They even took a moment along the way to take in the sights of Qilin Academy.

The basic facilities are all complete, with the campus being twice the size of Cyan Dragon Academy, and there are also significantly more students.

The seating for the five major academies is separated from other academies.

Shortly after Chu Chen and the others took their seats, they noticed that only Qilin Academy had arrived first.

The leading representative from Qilin Academy was the head of instruction, Wu Feng. As hosts, the principal and vice-principal were responsible for arranging relevant competition matters.

"Principal Long, I didn’t expect you would personally lead the team this time," Wu Feng remarked with a smile.

Long Feiyang was here to regain some pride, as Chu Chen was his greatest trump card. For such an opportunity to make a public appearance, he naturally wouldn’t miss it.

However, he didn’t reveal his true intention.

He merely nodded slightly, replying indifferently, "I just came to meet some old friends and took the opportunity to bring them to the competition."

While the two were chatting casually, the other three academies arrived one after another.

"Well, well, you’re here too, old mudfish," an old man in a white robe said with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Long Feiyang glanced at the man, retorting irritably, "Hmph, if you, a sick tiger, can come, why can’t I?"

The old man wasn’t offended by this and laughed in response, "I’m not like you. I’m here to receive honors. Are you here looking for thrills?"

"Hmph, do you want a fight?"

"Fight then, do you think I’m afraid of you?"

The leaders of the other three academies suppressed their laughter, not daring to laugh out loud, as their rank was considerably lower than the two of them.

And the participating students all pretended not to hear. They dared not show any unusual reaction since this was a conversation between two big shots they dared not offend.

Seeing this, Chu Chen softly inquired of Xiong Chen, "Who is this person? He seems to have a special relationship with our principal."

Hearing this, Xiong Chen carefully glanced at Long Feiyang, then whispered in reply, "That’s Li Hu, the principal of White Tiger Academy. He has a life-and-death friendship with our principal, but there seems to be a little rivalry between the two, and they argue the moment they meet."

At this moment, an elderly man with an immortal-like demeanor took the podium, pressed his hands down, and said, "Welcome everyone to Qilin Academy to participate in this year’s university exchange competition... I declare this exchange competition now open."
