"No fighting spirit at all, this Tier Two Bear Demon is a failure, can't compete!"

"Too old! No fierceness left, take it away!"

"Poor talent, eliminated!"

"Just barely, your Chi Howl Beast passed!"

...

The cultivators queued with their demon beasts were eliminated one after another under the evaluation of the Golden Core Beast Judge. Even some sturdy and fierce Tier Two Demon Beasts had a pass rate of only about ten percent. The selection was very rigorous.

Very soon, it was Li Mu's turn, and Xiaojin stood very obediently in front of its master, submitting to the evaluation of the Golden Core Beast Judge.

The Golden Core Beast Judge released an intimidating presence to suppress Xiaojin. Xiaojin sensed the hostility, its gaze turned fierce, and it bared its teeth in response, showing no fear even in front of the Golden Core expert.

"Oh! This little Golden Ape has decent talent! Unyielding and defiant with a massive fighting spirit, not bad, not bad, but it's still too small! I'm afraid it won't make a presence." The Golden Core Beast Judge examined the little Golden Ape in surprise and gave a satisfactory evaluation. Then, turning to Li Mu, asked, "Are you sure you want it to participate now?"

"Yes! Can it pass, senior?" Li Mu smiled and nodded, asking.

"It can pass! But it hasn't fully grown yet; if it can't hold up and dies halfway, don't come crying." The Golden Core Beast Judge glanced at Li Mu, handed over a Combat Order, and indicated.

"Thank you, senior, for the guidance!" Li Mu accepted the Combat Order and led Xiaojin into the participant's passage.

As Li Mu walked into the participant's passage, there was immediately someone waiting to guide him.

A pleasantly-featured female cultivator in a light pink dress respectfully introduced herself to Li Mu: "Congratulations, senior, your beast has passed the arena assessment. I am your exclusive attendant, Zhao Lingyue, here to introduce various arena rules to you and arrange for your beast's participation, ... From now on, each time your beast participates in a battle, it can earn a fixed reward of one thousand Middle Spirit Stones per battle. If the beast wins, it will also earn 15% of the ticket revenue; if it loses, it will only get 5%."

"Hmm! Is there no betting profit?" Li Mu nodded, smiling at Zhao Lingyue and asked.

"Yes, the arena doesn't prohibit Beast Tamers from gambling. If you're confident in your beast, you can participate in betting. However, any cheating tactics once discovered will hold the Beast Tamer responsible, such as fixing matches, using forbidden artifact refining, feeding your beast with combat power-enhancing Evil Pills, ... all are prohibited." Zhao Lingyue confirmed with a nod, introducing in detail the combat rules to Li Mu.

"Do the spell-casting methods of the Beast Tamer count?" Li Mu furrowed his brow and asked with concern.

"Of course not, the beast battle isn't limited to the beasts alone; the Beast Tamer is also a part of the battle. However, the Beast Tamer's spell casting can only be applied to one's own beast, not directly interfere with the opponent's beast. You will have a dedicated Beast Tamer seat to participate in the beast battle." Zhao Lingyue explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh in relief, this way, with his intervention, he couldn't promise to push Xiaojin to the position of Beast King, but at least he could ensure its safety.

"Senior, do you want to arrange for your beast to go on stage immediately? There's a spot on the third fighting platform right now; you can register for a battle. New beasts have a registration pass rate bonus; maybe you can get on stage immediately." Zhao Lingyue inquired to Li Mu.

"Sure, please help me register!" Li Mu smiled and nodded.

"Alright! Senior, I'll guide you to the resting area to wait while I go register!" Zhao Lingyue said with a smile.

Li Mu nodded, following Zhao Lingyue to the resting room, handing over the Combat Order for her to register for the competition.

The Beast Taming Pavilion seemed to have been in operation for a long time, with a complete personnel arrangement and well-structured rules, not keeping Li Mu waiting for too long before Zhao Lingyue brought back good news.

"Senior, the beast battle registration is successful. In an hour, your beast will compete against a Tier Two Red-Maned Fire Lion. The opponent's beast is also going on stage for the first time, and the Combat Order has information about the other beast and the odds, but our odds are a bit high, with a greater chance of losing." Zhao Lingyue handed over the Combat Order to Li Mu, saying solemnly.

Zhao Lingyue's face also seemed slightly displeased, worrying that she might have to switch to another Beast Tamer after this beast battle.

The Beast Tamer she's following this time has a beast that's too young, probably just about thirteen or fourteen years in human age. She couldn't understand how the Golden Core Beast Judge thought letting the Golden Ape participate in an "adult group" match was a good idea!

Though the newborn is unafraid of tigers, it can't go far!

Li Mu took the Combat Order, using his Divine Sense to check.

The image of the Red-Maned Fire Lion, various parameters, were detailed within the Token. Red-Maned Fire Lion, height: 8.7 feet, length: 12 feet, attribute: fire, bone age: 15.5 years, status: naturally fierce, vigorous demon power, well-built limbs, extremely robust, ... battle strength estimated: Tier Two Peak Stage Lion King, odds: 1:1.21

After reviewing the Red-Maned Fire Lion's evaluation information, Li Mu turned to look at the parameters of his own Golden Ape. Jade-Eyed Golden Ape, height: 6.2 feet, attribute: gold, bone age: 1.7 years, status: thick demon power, robust physique, agile limbs, overflowing fighting spirit, immense potential, ... battle strength estimated: Tier Two Developing Stage Ape Demon, odds: 1:19.5.

After reading the Combat Order's evaluation, Li Mu smiled slightly and took out a Storage Bag containing "pocket change" from his chest.

"Xiaozhao, do me a favor, inside this bag, there are over five thousand Middle Spirit Stones. Go place a bet for me! Bet everything on Xiaojin winning." Li Mu handed the small Storage Bag to Zhao Lingyue and said.
