Legendary Battle Pet-Chapter 76 Trial 5

As a result, the practical combat section of this year’s coming of age trial was chosen to take place here.

"Now, let me explain the rules for the second round."

The beautiful female host, holding a microphone, stood on a high platform at the entrance of the Fozet Secret Realm, introducing the competition rules to the more than 500 contestants participating in the second round.

According to the introduction, Ethen Cole learned that this round operates on a point based system. Contestants earn points for each magical beast they kill.

Killing higher level magical beasts yields higher points, while lower level ones yield fewer points. For example, killing a level 5 Black Iron magical beast earns 5 points.

Killing a level 6 Black Iron magical beast earns 6 points.

Killing a level 9 Black Iron magical beast earns 9 points.

Essentially, the points for killing Black Iron level magical beasts are equal to the numerical level of the beast. For Bronze level magical beasts, the level number is multiplied by 100.

For instance, killing a level 1 Bronze magical beast earns 1x100=100 points.

Similarly, killing a level 2 Bronze magical beast earns 2x100=200 points.

After understanding the rules, Ethen Cole decided to focus on killing as many Bronze level magical beasts as possible during the competition.

Killing just one Bronze level magical beast grants as many points as killing a whole group of Black Iron level beasts. Many shared this mindset, eager and ready to test their skills.

Soon, the entrance to the Fozet Secret Realms opened. Over 500 contestants, divided into groups of 10, formed more than 50 small groups and ventured into the space.

The competition within the second round secret realm was divided into two segments: team battle testing and individual duel testing.

The reason contestants were divided into groups of 10 was to assess their sense of teamwork and group combat abilities.

For a battle pet master, most battles encountered in life are team battles. Only a battle pet master who can integrate into a team and contribute their strength to it can be considered truly exceptional.

Therefore, in the first phase of the second round, points were calculated based on the group’s total score. By sunset that day, only the top 10 groups out of more than 50 could advance to the next phase of the trial.

The remaining 40+ groups would not proceed to the next phase. In the eliminated groups, no matter how outstanding an individual’s performance was, if the group’s total score did not rank in the top 10, they could not advance.

This highlights the harsh aspect of team battle testing. Every year in the coming of age trials, many geniuses perform poorly because they are not adept at team battles.

To ensure fairness in the trials, the groupings were random, and Ethen was assigned to the seventh group.

After the group members exchanged names and gave brief self introductions, they began exploring the Fozet Secret Realm.

Soon, the seventh group encountered a wave of attacks from the Golden Retriever clan. Due to a lack of effective organization and rushed defense, the relatively weak Golden Retriever tribe broke through the formation.

The team fell into disarray with everyone fighting on their own. Thanks to Ethen’s heroic performance at a critical moment, he turned the tide and defeated the Golden Retriever tribe, preserving the team’s hopes of advancing.

After this battle, all members of the seventh group recognized the need to choose a team leader to unify and command everyone.

Otherwise, the incident of the Golden Retriever tribe breaking through the formation is likely to happen again.

"The selection of the team leader will follow a voluntary principle. Now, those who wish to be the team leader, please step forward. Then the other members will vote, and the person with the most votes will be our team leader."

A contestant who appeared quite mature suggested this.

"Okay!"

"Agreed!"

His proposal received unanimous support from everyone. Immediately, the nomination process began.

Among the 10 members, four voluntarily expressed their desire to become the team leader, including Ethen.

Ethen wasn’t greedy with power or seeking attention; rather, his recent battle with the Golden Retriever made him realize that a team must have a central figure. Without one, failure would only be a matter of time.

To ensure he could progress further in the competition, he decided to step up. After identifying the four nominees, everyone proceeded to vote.

Through the election, Ethen, who had just demonstrated exceptional prowess in battle, received the highest number of votes.

Thus, Ethen became the leader of the seventh group. At that moment, the system notification sounded.

"The system has issued a side quest: Lead the seventh group into the top 10 overall ranking! Reward: 20,000 growth points."

Twenty thousand growth points? Ethen was delighted and immediately accepted the task. With the leader chosen, the group, under Ethen’s leadership, ventured deeper into the Fozet secret realms.

With unified leadership and coordination, the seventh group unleashed unprecedented combat power. They easily overcame wave after wave of magical beast attacks encountered along the way.

Blux’s outstanding performance left a profound impression on the group members. The skill level 2 of Blux, "Poet’s Gaze," is simply a weapon in group battles, with a powerful mental hallucination ability that can control up to 50 targets at once.

Since most members of the Horde in magical beast are not more than 50, one use of Blux’s "Poet’s Gaze" can essentially control an entire tribe of creatures.

Once Blux had the magical beasts under control, it became very easy for the other members of the seventh group to kill them.

The ease of these kills and the consecutive victories greatly boosted the morale of the team members. They were extremely satisfied with having elected Ethen as their leader.

Quickly, Ethen led the seventh group to the forefront, leaving the other groups that started simultaneously far behind.
