My beast can't be a demon.

Soon, the eight contestants who participated in the selection competition arrived at the scene one after another.

Except Le Xiaoxi, all other beastmasters arrived at the scene.

Based on this alone, Le Xiaoxi is actually not suitable to be the beastmaster of Qiudaomu.

Because of the importance of Qiudaomu in the modern beastmaster system, its beastmasters often have to serve as an image ambassador.

Just like Yuan Tianwang before, he needs to give speeches and publicity in various colleges.

As a rising star who has risen at the speed of light in recent months, Zhou Lu is also the youngest fifth-level beastmaster present, and naturally the most dazzling existence among the group of people.

But even he can't completely cover up the style of these beastmasters.

Everyone is a genius who has cultivated a divine beast at a young age. Unless they really fight, no one will be convinced.

In a sense, many of them don't really want to become a beastmaster of Qiudaomu. Although this may indeed be the most prestigious position in the real world, the arrogance of being a genius makes them often prefer to contract the spirit beasts they have cultivated or captured.

Zhou Lu never thought that there would be so many young fifth-level beastmasters in the world.

And many of them were born in civilian families. They gradually grew up by joining the official beastmaster team and finally trained their initial spirit pets into divine beasts.

It must be said that the efforts of the founding ancestors were not in vain.

Even though more than a thousand years have passed, the beastmaster era has gradually seen the phenomenon of various families controlling promotion resources, but because the official still firmly controls the system of the Beastmaster Academy, civilians can still reach the same position as those family children through personal efforts and their own talents.

Even if the effort is much more, at least it is not hopeless.

Moreover, with the great purge caused by the Xianguo incident, the beastmaster families in various places have ushered in a major reshuffle.

Although human nature will inevitably lead to the emergence of new families in the future, there is no doubt that a new era has slowly begun.

Listening to Ye Qingyu, the official has also realized some problems that exist in human beings now.

Because there is no clear external enemy, many people seem very confused, and then they will try some strange things to show their uniqueness.

The hype about immortals on the Internet is probably because of boredom.

Simply put, peace has lasted too long, and many young people born in peacetime don't know that this peace is hard-won.

There is a saying that really makes sense.

A truly successful revolution will make their descendants doubt the necessity of revolution.

So the official plan is to gradually release the unopened secret realms that the pioneers have preliminarily confirmed to be safe, and then guide the beastmasters to explore the secret realms through various means.

But these have nothing to do with Zhou Lu.

He is not the kind of person who likes adventure.

If he didn't know that a powerful enemy was waiting for him in the future - now it seems that this powerful enemy is most likely Meng Yu Hua Xian - Zhou Lu would have planned to lie down and let it go.

But now the only thing he can't figure out is how Meng Yu Hua Xian made a system and passed this system to his past self.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu looked at the Qiu Dao Wood not far away.

If what Senior Ouyang Xiao said to me about the conjecture about the space turbulence was correct, then the disaster that destroyed the unknown civilization was most likely the bubble that was transferred by Qiu Dao Mu.

This means that Qiu Dao Mu has the ability to transfer something, and it can be a very abstract thing, to the past.

But from the current point of view, Zhou Lu can't figure out why Qiu Dao Mu did this.

Could it be that what he did has changed the future?

Perhaps in the original timeline, Hua Huo really became a great demon. Qiu Dao Mu made the system and leaned over himself to avoid such a future.

The moment he obtained the system, the future changed. Hua Huo did not fall into a terrifying demon, so the future also changed?

Don't tell me, this speculation is also reasonable.

It was because of the awakening of the system that he began to work hard, which led to a rapid change in the subsequent trajectory.

At the beginning, the system could still give him some instructions, but later it was difficult for the system to brush out event-type tasks, because his behavior trajectory had completely deviated from the future known by the system.

Just like Xu Wuhu and Li Yi, although Zhou Lu still has some connections with them, it is hard to see how they can help him further.

The growth rate of himself and Hua Huo is too fast, and they have left each other far behind.

While Zhou Lu was daydreaming, the selection competition had officially begun.

There was no gorgeous opening ceremony or opening performance for this competition.

Because it was not needed at all.

The duel between the youngest fifth-level beast masters alone was enough to attract a large number of viewers waiting in front of the screen to watch.

There is no doubt that this is the official showing off its muscles.

Among the eight beast masters participating in the competition, including Zhou Lu, they all have more or less connections with the official.

Shen Hu is an officer of the pioneer army, Le Xiaoxi is the captain of the nursing team, Zhou Lu is an official disaster investigator, and the rest are from the research institute, the mining department, the transportation department, and so on.

It's not that the beast-controlling family is poor and doesn't have any young talents.

In fact, beast control is a game of resources. The party with more resources will naturally have the first-mover advantage in the beast control profession.

There are also many talented young people in the beast control family, and there are also a few who have become fifth-level beast control masters under the age of forty.

However, as the Fairy Kingdom incident spread, many of them were no longer trusted, so they were not included in the official selection list.

"This is the first time I know that there can be so many fifth-level beast masters." Zhou Lu said sincerely while watching the lottery ceremony on the stage.

"How much? If other people knew your evaluation, they would go crazy." Qiu Daomu sat on Zhou Lu's shoulder and smiled.

Now it actually does two things at once.

The main body is standing on the platform above, presiding over the lottery ceremony, but Manman's clone sitting on Zhou Lu's shoulder does not delay the conversation with Zhou Lu at all.

"You have to know that there are only a total of 103 fifth-level beastmasters in the human race now, and this is based on the total human population of 4.6 billion." Qiudaomu talked with Zhou Lu, "You actually I think there are too many fifth-level beast masters... You are really just a survivor."

Qiu Daomu's complaints made Zhou Lu slightly embarrassed.

Fortunately, the start of the game alleviated this awkward atmosphere.

Only then did Zhou Lu take a look at his lottery results.

His first opponent was Wang Qian, a fifth-level beast master from the mining department, and the only fifth-level beast master in this department.

By the way, because many beast masters from aristocratic families were excluded, the official team actually selected players from many supporting departments in order to compile a list of players.

Wang Qian is the only fifth-level beastmaster in the mining department. His job is actually to direct his spiritual pets to carry out mining operations in the mines in the secret realm.

Because of the nature of spiritual pets, the mines that Wang Qian is responsible for are often the most dangerous mines.

But as the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

His fearless courage and the intimate bond with his spiritual pet from the beginning actually gradually grew into a fifth-level beast master in this environment.

Of course, don't think that he will hate the authorities because he works in the most dangerous environment all year round.

In fact, if you want to say who is the most loyal to the official at the scene, it is probably Wang Qian.

As a beast master from a poor family, Wang Qian almost relied on the official student aid program to complete a complete set of compulsory education and completed the beast master academy.

The so-called choice to work in the most dangerous mine is also because the official salary for this job is enough.

High wages, high benefits, and high bonuses every year, all of which you can get with just hard work and courage. For Wang Qian, this is a career that he simply cannot refuse.

And in the process of his growth, help from the official has never stopped, and 60% of the materials for the evolution of his spiritual pet were provided by the official.

but……

Zhou Lu glanced at Qiudaomu on the stage.

If the official is really so great, then it is completely impossible for the beast-controlling family and modern immortals to appear.

Wang Qian's experience is a microcosm of many beast masters under the official system.

The one who really stood behind them was Qiudao Mu.

Anyone who is a beast master will make transactions with general fairies for various reasons.

Qiudaomu will accurately determine what level these beast masters are at and what kind of help they need based on the information fed back by the general-knowledge fairies.

And through this method, it effectively screened out the geniuses from the crowd who were expected to become fifth-level beast masters, and focused on cultivating them.

From this aspect, the more than one hundred fifth-level beast masters of mankind at that time, and the more than one hundred newly born divine beasts were all related to Qiudaomu.

This lonely pet, whose master had passed away, was silently guarding human civilization and the human era created by its master in his own way.

Because of this, even if it was Qiu Dao Mu who came up with the system in the end, Zhou Lu couldn't think of blaming him.

Thinking like this, the first battle has already begun.

Shen Hu came on stage with his own cat.

With the cat's excited cry, it released its restraints.

Just like Hanabi deliberately shrunk her body to match Shu Lu, Nanako also deliberately shrunk her body on weekdays.

However, it is not considered a huge type among the mythical beasts. When fully unfolded, it is only more than two meters tall, which is in sharp contrast to the huge Kunpeng opposite.

Panning cats are water-based spiritual pets.

I saw it tearing apart the earth as soon as it took action, and a large amount of water rushed towards Kunpeng high in the sky.

The duel between two divine beasts, even if it was a duel with limited strength, still caused changes in the world in the blink of an eye.

If Qiudao Mu hadn't maintained the illusion, their battle might have affected the territory of the entire state.

Therefore, Zhou Lu always felt that sometimes the battles between mythical beasts were not entertaining.

Because if you observe it from a human perspective, all you can see are scenes of changes in the world and various catastrophes.

The reality is not like watching a movie. You don’t have a global perspective at all. All you can see is all kinds of huge waves overwhelming the sky, lightning and thunder in the sky, and then with a bird song, countless tornadoes directly blow the huge waves. Rolled up.

If Zhou Lu hadn't turned on empathy and connected to the perception of fireworks, he wouldn't even be able to see the two sides of the battle.

Zhou Lu doubted whether the battle between the mythical beasts would really have any live broadcast effect?

Can the audience see any valuable pictures besides the shaking of the camera?

However, Zhou Lu underestimated the humans here.

The photographic equipment of human technology really can't fully capture the duel between the mythical beasts.

But the spirit beasts can!

A row of lonely quacks sat silently in the stands and transmitted the pictures they saw to the live broadcast processing center.

The live broadcast processing center will process and splice the pictures seen by these lonely quacks through technical means, and then broadcast the whole process of the battle between the mythical beasts in the live broadcast picture.

In a sense, this kind of duel between the mythical beasts is actually the least live experience.

Because you can only see the whole process of the battle in a live TV broadcast.

Many beastmasters on the scene showed bitter expressions when facing this battle scene.

Except for Le Xiaoxi and Zhou Lu, the others had not learned empathy, so naturally they could not watch the battle process by linking their own divine beasts' perception.

This made it impossible for them to collect intelligence on the battle.

Fortunately, many of them knew that the live broadcast was complete and were watching the live broadcast on their mobile phones.

So, a strange scene appeared.

Although everyone was already at the scene, they still needed to watch the whole process of the game by watching the live broadcast on their mobile phones.

Zhou Lu soon noticed this phenomenon and followed suit.

You really have to say that the live broadcast was even more complete and detailed than what Hua Huo saw.

The fighting power of the Taoxi Cat is very strong.

After all, it is a kind of spiritual beast that is good at fighting.

Although the opposite Kunpeng is even bigger in size and can also set off a huge storm to resist the attack of the Taoxi Cat, as a divine beast of the transportation department, it has always been mainly responsible for various transportation tasks.

Even if it participates in the battle, it participates by sending the combatants to the scene.

Although it is also powerful, that is for other spiritual beasts with lower ranks than it.

Facing a beast of the same rank, Kunpeng seemed very clumsy.

Moreover, Taoxi Cat was an agile hunter.

Although it managed to hold on for a while thanks to its thick skin and flesh, it was eventually defeated.

After Taoxi Cat, it was Zhou Lu's turn.
