"The third round of the assessment requires you to survive on a deserted island located not far from New Covenant City for half a month."

After hearing the host's words, most of the contestants couldn't believe their ears.

What? You want researchers like us, who can't lift or shoulder anything, to participate in a deserted island survival contest.

This can't be a joke.

What if something happens to our personal safety?

Many were having second thoughts internally.

Some people's faces already darkened, feeling that this was just a prank on them.

"That's right, the theme of the third round is elimination, also known as isolated island survival."

"This is also a new addition this year."

"Some might surely ask, how will my personal safety be guaranteed during this period?"

The host then picked up a dark wristband.

"This wristband is our latest high-tech, with functions similar to the Pet Beast Space."

"It has a protective shield that activates upon encountering danger, and if the danger exceeds the shield's threshold, it initiates an emergency transfer."

"This is a spatial transfer set up by Smith, one of the Eight Kings of the Beautiful Country, the Space King."

"Rest assured, your safety will be the highest priority."

"We will also have strong individuals protecting you secretly."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai rolled his eyes, thinking such assurances don't guarantee safety at all.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Isn't this putting one's life in someone else's hands?

Every move is monitored.

His earlier show-off must have already caught the attention of intelligence agents from the Beautiful Country.

What if they interfere, and he dies on the deserted island?

This is the best method to eliminate rivals.

However, they surely don't know about his hidden abilities.

Though the wristband can block the Pet Beast Space, Ye Bai possesses a Auspicious Beast called Water Qilin Beast.

It can help the Space Pelican break through spatial barriers and appear outside the Pet Beast Space.

As long as the Space Pelican appears outside, using it as a coordinate, Ye Bai can unleash all his Pet Beasts.

But this is a last resort, once exposed, he might get disqualified immediately.

The Beautiful Country surely placed numerous cameras on that deserted island.

Every action could be exposed to everyone's surveillance.

"Host, I have a question."

"What do we eat, drink, and where do we sleep on the deserted island?"

"What tasks do we need to complete?"

Immediately, someone raised their hand to indicate.

"What do we eat, drink, and where do we sleep on the deserted island?"

"These are three great questions, let me answer them for you."

"While the assessment area is called a deserted island, it's actually a resource-rich large island."

"We have stored three days' worth of rations and clean water in the wristband."

"You can find food, water, and resources there."

"As researchers, identifying species should be a basic skill."

"If you can't handle the harsh wilderness and want to withdraw, just communicate with the wristband, and it will transport you off the island."

The host paused, seemingly giving people time to think.

"But if you withdraw voluntarily, the Pet Beasts you've cultivated will be taken back by us for free, and the resources you collected will also become our property."

"Of course, if rescued due to danger after five days, your Pet Beasts and resources will remain yours. The crucial condition is contestants must survive on the island for more than five days."

"Otherwise, Pet Beasts and resources will also be surrendered."

"The wristband has a timing function, once exceeding five days, it will remind, allowing you to fully exploit the resources."

The host explained clearly.

If you voluntarily withdraw, you lose everything including the Pets you've cultivated over the past half-month.

If attacked or faced danger and transported away, provided survival exceeds five days, you can keep your Pet Beasts and resources, or else they are surrendered.

"Did everyone understand that?"

The host then grinned, showing his neat big white teeth, pointing at the door: "Of course, if anyone wants to quit, you can do so now, the door is there, you can leave."

Come on, this is a global broadcast, quitting at this stage would be laughable, not to mention the disgrace back home.

Might as well take a shot on the deserted island.

Who knows, there might be unexpected gains.

"Alright, nobody quitting, then I officially announce the researchers entering the third round."

The judges began walking from behind.

Goodness, are we having a ninja exam here?

That was just announcing, now the third round begins.

"Let me introduce what the third round assessment is about."

Dr. Jubino picked up the wristband.

"As the host said, the third round is called elimination."

"In island survival, you'll encounter various Exotic Beasts, combat has always been the basic way to test Pet Beast strength."

"Especially with the Pet Beasts you've cultivated over the past half-month."

"Each time you defeat someone, a red dot appears on the wristband."

"The third round criteria is surviving half a month, based on wristbands' red dots, resources collected, and Exotic Beasts defeated, as assessment indicators."

Ye Bai raised his eyebrows.

Good heavens, they are encouraging mutual fighting to reduce contestants' numbers.

"After comprehensive evaluation, the final score will be given."

"The final scores of the last three rounds are sorted, the top three participants will win gold, silver, and bronze medals."

Dr. Jubino explained the assessment rules to everyone.

"Of course, we've also buried numerous treasure chests on the island."

"The wristband will detect treasure chests within about ten meters."

"The chests contain resources for cultivating Pet Beasts, food, and clean water."

"Even tents are included."

"Opening a chest is simple, just touch the surface lightly with the wristband, and it opens."

"However, I must tell you, we've arranged Exotic Beasts to guard these chests."

"Please don't let your guard down."

"Finally, wishing everyone martial success."

What Dr. Jubino said was translated directly into various languages through earpieces.

Many began thinking, while those who had previously distanced themselves from Ye Bai came over with smiles.

They likely wanted to form alliances to eliminate opponents together.

At this moment, a massive shadow obscured the sun in the sky.

Ye Bai looked up to see a large jet plane.

The jet spewed violent gusts of wind, Ye Bai suddenly felt this might be a living creature.

As if parasitized by an Elemental Class Pet Beast.

The jet opened a large opening.

A roaring whirlwind formed instantly, Ye Bai gave up resistance, and was sucked into the jet.

He landed with a thud on a luxurious seat.

The seatbelt fastened automatically.

An elderly male voice came over the intercom.

Ye Bai's earpiece automatically translated into Flame Country language.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning to you all."

"I am the captain of the Hurricane jet, Wales."

"Next, my partner will lead you to the deserted island."

"You will have an hour for a short rest."

"Please watch the time to avoid accidents."

Ye Bai couldn't help but smile.

Such emphasis on time, surely something is up.

Does it mean an hour later, the plane dismantles, leaving everyone in the cabin to fend for themselves?

After all, isn't the third round's theme elimination?

Since entering the jet, the third round assessment has officially begun.

Ye Bai looked around; there was indeed no rescue gear or parachutes.

Seems like a safe landing on the deserted island is also part of the assessment.
