Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 830 - 358: The Mysterious Backdoor Contestant!

Sunlight blazed overhead.

Right at dawn, masses of people crowded before the Beast Master Association's headquarters and branches across Linzhou City.

These people showed up either with their folks or by themselves.

Without question, all of them—guys or gals—were super young, their faces glowing with bold assurance.

They totally earned that confidence, crushing the preliminary career exam and shining amid millions of same-age beast tamers in Jianghai Province and Linzhou City.

This bunch holds the chops to chase pro combat beast tamer careers, zeroing in on powering up pet beasts' battle skills over boring regular gigs.

In this kind of world, landing a spot as a pro combat beast tamer is what tons of folks crave.

For this career exam, they're the prime picks heading into Jianghai's final showdown.

The full career exam breaks down into three parts.

Initial test, provincial trial, and final test.

The initial test's registration step demands logging details like age, name, pet beast; but the real kicker is the required exam.

Early rules just capped age at under twenty-five with realms no above Commander Level,

That loose setup drew no Monarch Level whizzes under twenty-four, just swarms of grads toting cats and dogs for kicks.

Even though every young beast tamer gen is invited this round, total scrubs who can't hack cannon fodder duty might freak out and soil themselves in the provincial trial's Battle Royale, turning into national or worldwide jokes; deaths would blow it up big time,

That's why the initial test's opening round slapped on a tough baseline: pet beast realms at minimum Elite Sixth Rank!

On top, anyone under Commander Level had to smash rivals at local Beast Master Association spots to lock in their career exam spot!

These barriers slashed 99.99% from Jianghai's millions of potentials.

So, the contenders now rolling into Jianghai Province, cleared for the provincial trial, are legit standouts.

No wonder they all rocked vibrant vibes on arrival.

They backed it up with real talent.

But exactly because of that, as morning rays hit their faces, these elite early arrivals eyed the locked Beast Master Association doors with clear irritation:

"Doesn't the provincial trial kick off in two days? Why drag us here so early today?"

"Yeah, we're here, but nobody's handling us?"

"Shush, the Jianghai Province Breeders Association president himself is speeching today, plus handing out key gear!"

"Right, can't divvy up gear to this mob right on exam day, huh?"

One guy spelled it out, sparking curiosity: "What gear?"

"Provincial trial's Battle Royale mode, ain't no game; unlike small trial scraps, the secret realm's got real savage beasts; life risks? Nobody's dying for that!"

"Hah, never tangled with true ferocious beasts, my drill-armadillo will school 'em!"

A few buzzed with hype, others fretted a bit:

"What gear's the association issuing? Real danger or injuries? My Little White can't stand pain..."

Suddenly, the massive plaza before the Beast Master Association entrance buzzed like mad.

Yeah, peace has dragged on too long these days, and for loads of young beast tamers, this marks their debut real fight.

It's a trial, but also a golden shot!

Yet that noisy chaos hushed instantly as a crushing aura swept out before the Beast Master Association gates.

Shouts then erupted from the throng.

Just then, a massive shadow plunged from above, halting mid-air not far over their heads.

"Dragon! A dragon up there!"

A yell rang out, finger jabbing the sky; Linzhou locals in the know, stunned yet playing it cool, sneered at out-of-towners and country bumpkins, boasting:

"Big deal? Jianghai Breeders Association President Qin rides a Mu Long! That's a true Divine Dragon!"

The Divine Dragon Mu Long had these ambitious young beast tamers future-dreamers staring wide-eyed at the man perched on the sky dragon's back.

Qin Erlong wore a stern look, his wild black hair dancing without a gust, straight-up like an unmatched powerhouse.
