Many contestants gathered at Dream Island, expecting to fight for limited resources. Yan Fan and Li Yaoyao arrived, and Yan Fan politely asked Su Ping's pet beast to move aside. Su Ping emerged, having been informed of the situation by his pet, Feifei, who had access to the outside network.

Thus, Su Ping perceived the intentions of these individuals with absolute clarity, as if viewing them on a transparent screen. Their movements, converging upon him like marked points on a vast satellite map, were laid bare for his observation. However, this situation was not only acceptable but ideal, sparing him considerable effort. Consequently, grasping the unfolding circumstances, Su Ping emerged from the valley on Dream Island and proceeded to the location where the commotion was taking place. Yan Fan’s pronouncements, naturally, reached his ears distinctly.

Upon witnessing Su Ping’s reappearance, the assembled individuals’ gazes brightened momentarily. Yet, none dared to confront him directly. After all, upon entering Dream Island, the primary threat wasn't Su Ping himself, but rather the ostensibly allied companions beside them, against whom constant vigilance was necessary. At this juncture, Su Ping began to articulate his stance: "I previously stated that gaining entry to Dream Island is straightforward; one simply needs to defeat Qian Yi."

"If that is the case, then thank... what?" Yan Fan’s prepared expression of gratitude faltered mid-utterance. He stared at Su Ping, his disbelief palpable, as if he had misheard. Nevertheless, Su Ping’s repeated assertion confirmed to him and everyone else that their hearing was accurate. "I declared that entering Dream Island is simple, requiring only the defeat of Qian Yi!" Su Ping’s unperturbed declaration left every Beast Tamer present utterly bewildered. They genuinely struggled to comprehend what they had heard, astonished by the sheer directness of Su Ping’s pronouncement. How many people were gathered here? Did this Breeder Su truly harbor no fear of a united assault from them all? What manner of pet beast could possibly withstand a barrage from so many combatants? Not to mention, individuals like Yan Fan and Li Yaoyao, whose pets possessed combat prowess that defied conventional measurement.

Even Yan Fan, blinking in confusion, stammered, "Breeder Su, you..." Yan Fan found himself at a loss for words. He would not have escalated to a confrontation with this seemingly irrational prodigy if it hadn't been unavoidable. Yet, here they were, and his attempt at a peaceful overture had been unacknowledged by the other party. A flicker of coldness crossed Yan Fan’s eyes. If that was the case, he would not recoil from conflict. "If that’s your stance, allow me to experience your peculiar origami man pet beast firsthand?" However, the moment he finished speaking and his Thunder Roc, accompanied by two other pet beasts, materialized, Su Ping shook his head. "No need. Since you are all present, why not face me together!"

Face him together?! Yan Fan was once again stunned. If his memory served him correctly, the use of mechanical weaponry was prohibited within the Provincial Exam Secret Realm, was it not? So from whence did this individual derive such audacious confidence? It made no logical sense! Not only was Yan Fan dumbfounded, but every person present, and indeed countless observers beyond the island, were equally caught off guard. This was truly inexplicable! Yet, Su Ping, standing resolutely, gave no indication of jesting. He took a step back, and the peculiar origami man pet beast, emanating a multicolored luminescence akin to a neon beacon, cautiously advanced from behind him. Clearly, he was not making light of the situation.

At this critical juncture, no one present indulged in laughter or scorn; the unfolding events had utterly surpassed everyone’s expectations. Meanwhile, even beyond the island, Su Ping’s livestream viewership experienced a dramatic surge during that brief morning. In less than ten minutes, Su Ping’s trending search query ascended to the number one position. Simultaneously, the viewer count for Su Ping’s livestream ultimately claimed the top spot! It surpassed the popular young idols and promising contestants previously promoted by entertainment conglomerates. To be entirely candid, Su Ping’s declaration was nothing short of earth-shattering. To confront hundreds of Beast Tamers of the same tier single-handedly? Throughout the entirety of the professional assessment, it seemed improbable that any individual would dare to utter such boastful words, wouldn't they? That amounts to hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of pet beasts! To contend against a thousand? Even if faced with a thousand Giant Ants, their eradication would require considerable time, let alone engaging Beast Tamers of equivalent standing! What was this individual attempting to achieve?

At this moment, not only those who had previously harbored doubts about Su Ping but also his most ardent supporters were left in a state of utter perplexity. This included Yin Yin, who seldom tuned into livestreams for purposes other than her Dream of Heart game content, and who was now observing the professional assessment alongside some Heart of Myriad Spirits employees within her stream. Had their boss taken leave of his senses? If not, why was he spewing such nonsensical claims? Meanwhile, across the vast ocean, as night descended, a master and disciple duo, possessing an almost spectral bearing, also tuned in punctually to witness Su Ping’s livestream. Mu Yu marveled at the reason his teacher, possessing such eminence and formidable strength, would devote his attention to a mere Commander Level figure from the distant Dragon Country. However, he dared not question his teacher’s judgment. At present, Mu Yu had no room for idle speculation, finding himself equally incredulous. What category of pet beast could possibly withstand an onslaught from a thousand opponents of the same rank?

Could an origami figure, even one that had undergone mutation, possess such an over-the-top level of might? He turned to look at his mentor, a desire to converse evident, yet disbelief rendered him speechless.
