"The weakness of this Pet Beast is at the tip of the nose and the waist; hitting those spots will cause the Charging Wolf to stiffen."

"It has excellent agility and can serve as a mount, even capable of walking steadily in a storm."

"That's all for the general description of the Charging Wolf."

"The evaluation criteria include scores for describing the Pet Beast's appearance, scores for describing skills, and scores for identifying the Pet Beast's weaknesses."

"Content not within the answer scope but innovative and clear will also receive points."

The host announced the scoring standards, causing some contestants to tug at their hair in frustration.

"Oh oh oh, my scope is a bit off; I don't know if that's a problem."

"Ah, this test is really too difficult; I haven't noticed this guy's weaknesses."

"My god, is this Charging Wolf really that strong? It's been beaten to bits by props, but luckily my content roughly matches."

After announcing the answers for the first Pet Beast, reactions varied among the contestants; some grinned widely, others covered their eyes with their hands, while their mouths subtly curved upwards.

"The second Pet Beast is the Chameleon Lizard, caught in the vast desert of the Beautiful Country."

"It's quite strong, possessing the protective color trait, allowing it to become invisible at any time, making it a formidable opponent."

"Its slimy tongue is long and thin and has strong restraint over Insect Element Pet Beasts."

"It is a Holy Attribute Pet Beast with special functions, including protective color, acid corrosion, tongue lick, and other skills."

"Its external scales are comparable to Super Alloy Metal; this Pet Beast is brutal; anything swallowed by it is reduced to liquid by stomach acids in less than a quarter of an hour."

"Chameleon Lizard also fears thunder attacks, which can reveal its identity."

"Once attacked, the Chameleon Lizard will show itself; the flesh of its mouth is very soft, not as hard as the exterior scale armor."

"Using small bombs or other methods to attack the Chameleon Lizard will break it into countless pieces."

Ye Bai knows the power of Chameleon Lizard; originally, it was a Pet Beast specially sold to Flame Country by Beautiful Country.

Just that this Pet Beast carried a locator, discovered by Flame Country scientists, and after removing it, was sent here for display.

"Great, the answer for the second Pet Beast has been given out; if you get these free-point questions wrong, you're likely not advancing to the second round."

Following these words from the host, many contestants' faces instantly turned pale; they felt they might not pass the first round.

"But everyone, don't give up until the end; maybe hope will come tomorrow?"

"Our experimental research never succeeds in one go; it requires countless repeated experiments to yield results."

"What we see are others' bright achievements, while the efforts of these people are often overlooked."

"A day's work earns a day's reward; that's what I want to tell you all."

At this moment, the image of the Shadow Emperor Crow appeared on the large screen.

"The third Pet Beast is the Shadow Emperor Crow."

"This Pet Beast excels at moving through shadows to attack prey; once pursued by its enemies, the Shadow Emperor Crow will dissolve into countless shadows, disappearing into the dark."

After the host reported the data on Shadow Emperor Crow, answers were quickly reviewed.

This year's Young Qilin Cup had a total of four hundred participants, and the committee selected eligible contestants based on ranking,

with only two hundred entering the second round, an outcome Ye Bai achieved by selecting the best from the somewhat weak contenders.

Ye Bai was in the backstage reviewing information; when he saw one of the papers, his eyes sparkled.

Found you, Necromancer.

Using this standard, he continued searching through the papers and quickly detected the presence of Spirit Saint.

He grinned widely.

"How are contestants using such sophisticated language to answer the papers?"

"What era are we in? The only possibility is that all these were written by Necromancer and Spirit Saint."

Yet, before Ye Bai could order the committee to keep a close eye on these two, Lin Lin emerged from Ye Bai's shadow.

"Master Ye Bai, Blue Phoenix has arrived, waiting in the reception room; would you like to visit Blue Phoenix now?"

Ye Bai nodded and gave a clear response: "Sure, I will go immediately."

Zhang Yuelu, also known as Blue Phoenix, was currently in the reception room, resting with closed eyes, and only opened her beautiful eyes when Ye Bai entered.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Blue Phoenix."

Ye Bai spoke very politely.

However, Blue Phoenix paid no attention to Ye Bai, her gaze instead focused elsewhere.

She could sense the hovering Ten Thousand Changes Butterfly, which seemed to exhibit a Gu King's aura.

Blue Phoenix squinted her eyes slightly.

Goodness, is this guy trying to cultivate a Gu King? Truly a remarkable idea.

But the Gu King isn't configured this way.

You'll need to consume a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to possibly cultivate it.

Ye Bai didn't know the Blood Gu aura emanating from the Ten Thousand Changes Butterfly gave Blue Phoenix quite a favorable impression.

"Let it be, let me speak frankly first,"

"I very much support your parasite cultivation plan, but I don't have the confidence to control the Black Flea and Shadow Mantis."

"Therefore, I will stay here for a few more days to study how to cultivate the parasite into a Gu,"

In Blue Phoenix's palm appeared an Iron Wire Insect no bigger than a thumb.

This Gu Insect excels at penetrating the outer shell of Pet Beast Eggs, parasitizing them, and transforming them into insect Gu.

"The conversion process via Gu Insect is quick; as soon as I activate the Iron Wire Insect, they'll drill into the Pet Beast Eggs and parasitize them."

"When the Pet Beast Egg hatches, it will be completely controlled by the Iron Wire Insect."

To demonstrate to Ye Bai, Blue Phoenix specially performed a demonstration.

Blue Phoenix opened her palm; the black Iron Wire Insect instantly emerged, falling onto the insect eggs below.

The insect eggs already showed the shape of the Black Flea.

The Iron Wire Insect entered and dominated the environment.

The Black Flea was in its infancy, lacking significant combat power.

Its incubation period is quite long, and its infant stage is lengthy.

However, when Iron Wire Insect parasitized the Black Flea inside, this accelerated the evolution speed.

Before long, this Black Flea had already outgrown its infant stage.

Nonetheless, at this point, the appearance of this Pet Beast became highly distorted.

The acid within its body burst with a bang.

A large amount of corrosive liquid seeped out, causing an incident when Ye Bai felt something was amiss.

"Oh no, the parasite has failed, becoming a ticking time bomb."

Ye Bai chuckled.

"Blue Phoenix, the competition is still underway; for now, I won't discuss the Gu Insect with you."

"Once I confirm the start of the second round, we can then discuss the Gu Insect thoroughly."

Blue Phoenix's eyes were fixed on the experimental display, which was packed with dense insect eggs, indicating the potential for extensive experimentation.

Blue Phoenix waved her hands, and a multitude of Gu Insects fell from her hands to the ground.

These colorful Gu Insects swarmed towards the insect eggs.

At this moment, the second round had already commenced.

"Hello everyone, the second round of the assessment is about to begin; let me highlight the rules for the second round."

"The second round is actually quite simple; lasting for half a month, it involves hatching the Black Flea and Shadow Mantis and conducting parasite research."

"We hope to ensure species diversity and introduce entirely new evolutionary paths; this is our expectation for you contestants."
