As Silly Bird advanced to the second-level beast pet, Zhang Zhuo's cultivation level naturally increased, and he had already broken through to the second-level transcendent level.
At this time, the second star in his heart had completely solidified, and infinite power was surging in his body.
This means that as long as he wants to, he can completely transform his spiritual energy into an external form, instead of just forming a star barrier to protect himself as before.
However, before he had time to try out how powerful he would be after his cultivation breakthrough, the middle-aged examiner came from afar and congratulated him:
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang on your great joy. Not only do you have a second-level beast pet, but you have also broken through to become a second-level transcendent. You really have a bright future!"
"Where is it...Thank you for your kind words, senior..."
When he saw the middle-aged examiner come back from a trip, his attitude towards him suddenly became extremely good. Even his title changed from "Zhang Xiaoyou" to "Zhang Shao". This made Zhang Zhuo secretly surprised and a little uncomfortable at the same time.
But he knew that it seemed that the first-level beastmaster examination was definitely stable this time.
However, the next moment, the middle-aged examiner dropped a bombshell directly at him.
"Um... It's just that with Mr. Zhang's current situation, according to the regulations, I'm afraid he can only take the second-level beast master examination... Fortunately, you have passed the second-level beast master hatching examination before, and now you only have to compete with the second-level beast master. This is the beast master’s pet battle..."
"Senior, what are you talking about? Didn't you say before that I could use a second-level beast pet to participate in a first-level beastmaster pet battle? Why are you saying now that I don't meet the regulations?"
Zhang Zhuo looked confused, and at the same time, ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping past in his heart.
He doesn't know any other magic except Earth Penetration. Silly Bird has also just advanced to a second-level beast pet. It seems that there is something wrong with the advancement. It's okay to bully a first-level beast master. Go and talk to a second-level beast master. When a beastmaster fights for pets, isn't that to deliver food?
"Well... Mr. Zhang is really unlucky. This new regulation has just been introduced... But don't worry, this fighting pet is a fighting pet according to the rules, and there will be no risk to his life..."
"Huh? What are the rules of pet fighting?"
The middle-aged examiner could only talk nonsense shamelessly, otherwise he would not dare to tell Zhang Zhuo that this new rule was specially changed by Vice President Yan for you. Not only that, he also wanted to watch you fight for favors in person.
However, considering Vice President Yan's high opinion of Zhang Zhuo and his own inner guilt, this time, he explained particularly carefully.
In the words of a middle-aged examiner, the battle between beastmasters begins and ends with pet fighting, and is divided into three categories: simulated pet fighting, rules pet fighting, and life and death pet fighting.
Generally speaking, simulated fighting pets are also called training fighting pets, and are usually carried out in special scenes such as the beast control training room, in order to improve the acquired talents of the beast pets.
As the name suggests, rules-based pet fighting is a pet fighting under the auspices of an authoritative organization, around various rules, and with certain limited conditions.
The fighting pets tested for the second-level beastmaster examination belong to the rules. Within the rules, they can fight to the death through various means. However, as long as one party thinks that he is unbeatable, he can admit defeat. The other party must not kill him again, otherwise he will be killed. If the other party violates the rules, his end will be extremely miserable.
As for life and death battles for pets, there are no rules, no restrictions on scenarios, no restrictions on objects. Sometimes it is a gambling fight, sometimes it is a group fight, sometimes it is against extraordinary people from other professions, sometimes it is even against powerful monsters, generally It will all end with the death of one party.
These three categories of pet fighting are further subdivided into civil fighting and martial fighting. Civil fighting is a battle between beast pets, and the beast master cannot intervene in it. Combatants fight against each other in coordination with the beast master and the beast pet. The combination of the beast master's magic and the beast pet's talent is often more representative of the beast master's comprehensive combat power.
Therefore, the pet fight that Zhang Zhuo is about to participate in now is, strictly speaking, a regular martial arts fight under the auspices of the examiner of the Beast Masters Association.
"It means I can still admit defeat if I can't beat you, right? If I lose this time, I should be able to take the test again, right?"
After understanding this, Zhang Zhuo stopped pursuing him. He knew in his heart that the Beast Masters Association would never change the rules because of his resistance. Only the fittest would survive.
Little did he know that Zhang Zhuo's behavior made the middle-aged examiner even more intolerable. After hesitating for a while, he pointed to Zhang Zhuo the way to the second-level beast master examination, and sighed softly:
"Let's do this. Mr. Zhang, you go to the pet fighting arena and wait. I will save my face and then go and beg the person above to see if I can be lenient..."
"Thank you very much, senior!"
Zhang Zhuo was surprised to see the middle-aged examiner leaving in a hurry again.
Although he didn't think that the Beast Masters Association would change the rules for him, he was still moved by the middle-aged examiner's heart.
Is it possible that Mrs. Hua's letter of introduction is so prestigious that she can make this middle-aged examiner think about her like this?
Unexpectedly, just when Zhang Zhuo was thinking about how to deal with the upcoming challenge of pet fighting, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in his heart and turned around suddenly.
"Meow-"
He saw a man with oily hair and a pink face walking towards him with a big-faced black cat in his arms, and that black cat was the one he saw in the "Boluomi" animal pet shop!
"Oops! It's that Black Cloud Black! Is this person the owner of the black cat? Could it be that he found out that I had taken the black cat's pet and came after him?"
Zhang Zhuo's heart thumped and he could only force himself to calm down. He immediately suppressed the panic in his heart and turned around to leave.
"Impossible, impossible. A mere mortal pet is chasing after him with such a big fanfare? He must have something else to do here. It's just a coincidence!"
Fortunately, in this short period of time, he has transformed from a refugee into a second-level transcendent, and the black cat did not recognize him for a moment.
"Wow--"
The big-backed man following behind him touched the somewhat abnormal black cat in his arms and comforted him:
"Don't worry, Xiaowu. Miss Yun has already sent a message to the Beast Controllers Association and will use all means to find that bastard bird and that little refugee. I will vent my anger on you! If you dare to offend Miss Yun, you are really looking for death! "
The man with the big back patted the black cat's head in a flattering manner, and kept making promises to the black cat in order to calm it down.
The black cat then rolled its eyes at him intelligently and lay down lazily in his arms.
However, just when the black cat tilted his head and saw Zhang Zhuo's back, he screamed miserably again.
"Wow--"
Now the man with the big back finally noticed Zhang Zhuo, who was hurriedly walking in front of him. Seeing Zhang Zhuo's tattered clothes, he immediately thought of the little refugee Miss Yun was looking for.
"Stop! Are you hiding from me?"
At this time, Zhang Zhuo naturally avoided it after hearing the conversation of the man with a big back.
He just saved a mortal pet from Wu Yunhei's mouth, but he didn't expect that this black cat would actually cause trouble to its owner.
Miss Yun and the Yun family behind her acted extremely domineeringly. It seemed that the Yun family was at least the top family in Wuting City. How could he afford to offend her?
However, after his intention was revealed by the man with a big back, he had to quickly adjust his state and forcefully suppress the panic in his heart.
He knew that even if he ran away with all his strength, he would not be able to outrun this man with a big back, let alone fight him. Even if he could defeat him, could he still fight all the way to the Yun family?
"No, I bet this black cat can't see through my identity!"
Zhang Zhuo's heart was beating like a thump, but the expression on his face did not dare to show any abnormality. He calmly turned his head and said in a deep voice:
"Who are you? Do I need to hide from you?"
