Saying this, Lu Fei and the others walked towards the waiting room.
The waiting room was located in a tall building next to the plaza.
All the rooms in the entire tall building were set up as temporary waiting rooms. Every two beast-taming academies shared one waiting room, uniformly arranged by the competition committee.
Following the nameplates outside the rooms, Lu Fei and his group quickly found the waiting room for Cangzhen Academy of Beast Taming.
Unexpectedly, Lu Fei saw an old acquaintance in this waiting room.
Lu Fei was slightly startled and murmured,
"Liu Mancheng?"
Bai Qianqian's expression also changed.
"Tiecheng Tuo Academy, we're actually grouped with them."
The rest of them also changed their expressions.
Before heading to the Undead Tower ruins, they had only heard of Liu Mancheng's name. This genius top beast tamer, who was stuck at 20 years old, was rumored to be a candidate for the next city lord of Tiecheng Tuo.
"What kind of rubbish is this?"
"Not a single familiar face. Cangzhen Academy of Beast Taming, where did this remote place come from?"
"These girls are alright, but these guys? Why do they look like idiots?"
Seeing someone enter the waiting room, the people from Tiecheng Tuo Academy looked at them with amusement.
There were only six of them on this trip, and Lu Fei's group had also been whittled down from ten to six.
The remaining four had not been expelled but had realized their own inadequacy after the Undead Tower and voluntarily withdrawn from the competition.
Since Lei Mang was not here, Bai Qianqian naturally became the group's leader. Her profile was cold, and she didn't show any pleasant expression to the people from Tiecheng Tuo Academy.
With this incident, the people from Cangzhen Academy of Beast Taming naturally had no good impression of Tiecheng Tuo Academy.
"Let's go in."
Bai Qianqian didn't say much more, withdrew her gaze from the nameplate, and pushed open the door to enter the room.
There were already people waiting inside the waiting room.
Upon closer inspection, several young men and women in uniform occupied the right side of the room. They were none other than the students from Tiecheng Tuo Academy.
Seeing someone enter, the few who were chatting and laughing stopped abruptly and turned to look.
Their gazes swept over the uniforms on Lu Fei and the others. Although they didn't know who the newcomers were, the uniforms were marked with the academy's name. Seeing that it was an unknown academy, a trace of disdain flickered in their eyes.
After a glance, the people from Tiecheng Tuo Academy shifted their gazes and continued their own conversations.
Bai Qianqian didn't mind and led the way into the waiting room, occupying the other side of the room with the rest of them.
On their way to the waiting room, they had already received their exclusive bronze plates from the staff.
They each indicated their competition numbers.
Lu Fei's number was 666.
A wave of complaint arose in his heart. Truly a sixth master...
Bai Qianqian's number was 34.
This was a very early number.
As the competition approached, Liu Manman and the others were a bit nervous, neglecting their conversations. They leaned back in their chairs, closed their eyes, and rested to conserve their energy for the upcoming competition.
On the other hand, the people from Tiecheng Tuo Academy were relaxed and leisurely, still chatting and laughing.
"I heard that quite a few strong contestants have come to this preliminary selection. This year's difficulty should be much higher than last year's."
"Yeah, I heard that Cui Bin from Canghai Academy is about the same level as our captain!"
"No way, are you kidding? Where did he come from?"
"And Huang Tianba, isn't he the same? I guess he's a top beast tamer now too!"
"That's from Zhicheng Academy after all. They don't even need to participate in this academy beast-taming competition. They already have the level of a Level 2 beast-taming academy. How bad can their student representatives be?"
The people from Tiecheng Tuo Academy didn't deliberately lower their voices while chatting. Being in the same room, the people from Cangzhen Academy of Beast Taming heard everything clearly, and an unusual expression appeared on their faces.
Top beast tamers were indeed beings they could only look up to.
Thinking this, the gazes of the few from Cangzhen Academy of Beast Taming involuntarily turned to Lu Fei. What was his current strength?
Lu Fei also felt waves of gazes focused on him.
He unconsciously touched his nose.
Before going to Fenghe Town, Lu Fei himself didn't know what his current strength was. The reason was simple: the test stone had exploded.
When he was about to leave the Bai family, Bai Yushu happened to test his spiritual power to verify his recovery. So, Lu Fei also tested it on a whim.
It was better not to test it, but once tested, it shocked the brothers Bai Yuheng and Bai Yushu again.
Lu Fei's spiritual power had already reached the level of a top beast tamer!
Everyone present was stunned.
This kid was only at the level of a junior beast tamer on the surface!
How did he suddenly...
Even Bai Yushu began to doubt himself. Could it be that this test stone was faulty, and all the test results were wrong?
Therefore, Bai Yuheng, Han Xiu, and Bai Xingyu all went up to test. Perhaps still having doubts, Bai Yushu gathered a group of old cadres to test their spiritual power, but found no discrepancies.
Everyone finally believed it.
Lu Fei's spiritual power had indeed reached the level of a top beast tamer.
But he was even younger than Bai Xingyu.
Bai Yuheng stared blankly.
His mind recalled someone.
The person who was wanted across the entire beast-taming continent, regarded as the embodiment of evil.
Huangfu Chenyi!
Although Huangfu Chenyi was wanted by the continent and was an unforgivable person.
One thing was undeniable: he was a genius, a genius rarely seen in a hundred years!
The ones who were shocked were not just these onlookers.
Lu Fei himself was also a bit confused.
When did he become so awesome?
After being dumbfounded, there was a burst of ecstasy.
During the test, he saw faint cracks on the test stone. With this precedent,
He hurriedly stopped the outward release of his spiritual power, but unexpectedly, even in this situation, he reached the spiritual power level of a top beast tamer.
Later, when he returned to his room, Lu Fei told a few core members of his team about this.
The most dramatic reaction came from Black Skin, who directly proposed to form a contractual partnership with Lu Fei.
