Qin Erlong addressed the provincial exam participants, distributing wristwatches for early registration in the battle royale mode. The first recipient, assigned number 0002, questioned the absence of 0001, which Qin confirmed was given by proxy to an unseen contestant, igniting suspicions of favoritism. Gossip rippled through the crowd and group chats as competitors speculated on the backdoor entrant's identity and influence among top contenders. The mystery resolved when the name appeared: Su Ping, a 19-year-old graduate from Linzhou No. 6 Middle School.

The group chat for Class 24 at Sixth Middle School,

This class group chat, where Su Ping was once a member, has seen a sharp drop in messages since both Su Ping and Li Shu departed from it.

Yet lately, there's been plenty of casual talk buzzing around,

It's no surprise, given how the whole younger generation—and indeed the entire summer—revolves around the youth professional assessment.

Of course, for their class, it's a long shot that anyone is actually competing in the youth professional assessment, but the buzz about it is impossible to ignore.

Lately, conversations on this subject have been nonstop.

[Zhao Huan: Tomorrow marks the start of the main event for this professional assessment. Hey, any whispers on the top ten favorites? I'm getting pumped!]

[Li Yuanyuan: Regardless, we gotta check the Beast Tamers' levels. Word is, several young Beast Tamers from our Jianghai at the tenth tier of Commander Level are in the mix!]

[Sun Yan: Man, if only this professional assessment came a few years later, we might've had a shot! Sigh, doubt we'll see another huge event like this anytime soon.]

[Zhao Huan: Dream on, it's just how fate works. Plus, even Su Ping might struggle to join a contest like this, don't you think?]

Bringing up that name once more sparked a wave of responses.

In the annals of Sixth Middle School, Su Ping's name could easily claim a spot on the honor wall—maybe even the top one.

Unless he pulled off something massive later, like that female Beast Tamer from Lion Nation who devised the forest matrix and got slapped with antisocial and anti-human labels.

Short of that, it's highly likely,

No era could overlook Su Ping's name.

Even with this professional assessment, nothing changes.

[Zhou Shuchen: Doubt it. Sure, Bro Ping is amazing, but his big wins are in breeding, and key point—it's only been a year post-graduation, just one year.

Even if Bro Ping's power just touched Commander Level, cracking the top ten in this professional assessment seems out of reach. And honestly, with his current standing, does he even need it?]

Ever since the forest farm incident, where he repped Fire King Company, and that breeder showdown, class prez Zhou Shuchen has stuck to calling him Bro Ping, no matter the crowd.

No one calls him out on it—maybe mutter bootlicker under their breath—but Su Ping's feats are legit undeniable.

Plus, look at Li Shu and Yin Yin; just latching onto a big shot has them thriving now.

If he ever remembers his old classmates, forget the rest—a single word from him could skyrocket their lives in Linzhou.

And right on cue, after his name dropped, a quiet profile in the group piped up:

[Yin Yin: Nope, Li Shu told me once that Bro Ping is absolutely entering this professional assessment.]

[Zhao Huan: School beauty Yin drops in! Got any inside scoop, Yin? Oh yeah, during that Eastern Sea flood last time, Bro Ping seemed to act, and footage leaked. With that power level, joining the professional assessment should be a breeze, right?]

[Sun Yan: Caught that too. Got scrubbed later, but plenty spread. Hard to make out from afar, but those beasts moving didn't look like Su Ping's contracts, yeah? Mostly from his breeding base, like that Wanmu Wolf especially.

Whoa, gotta admit, Heart of the Sun packs a punch. One blast and it vaporized a massive crater right in the lake. Powerful as Wanmu Wolf and the rest are, this professional assessment requires contracted beasts only, right? Non-contracted ones don't count for squat?]

Sun Yan nailed the key issue.

Everyone knew from school days: Su Ping's talent was Pet Beast Home, letting him store other beasts in his Beast Taming Space.

Thus, even if those beasts dominated the fight, they weren't his personal contracted ones, correct?

[Zhou Shuchen: Whatever, if Bro Ping's in, he's in. Maybe he just wants to gauge his beasts' battle prowess? Bro Ping doesn't need this professional assessment to validate himself anyway; count me in as a fan!]

But then, a usually low-key classmate suddenly chimed in:

[Chen Hao: You guys haven't heard? My cousins made it through prelims for this professional assessment. In the Jianghai participants' group lately, Bro Ping's drawing tons of eyes. Not just eyes—he's basically public enemy number one for them all!]

[Yin Yin: @Chen Hao, spill the details?]

This time, Yin Yin wasn't alone; the whole group held its breath, eager for Chen Hao to explain.
