Chapter 115: Chapter 99: Battle Records Available (2)
"People from a foreign country?" The girlfriend exclaimed in surprise.
The staff heard this, and upon seeing the name, remembered and said: "Indeed, they are from a foreign country—Nanfan Ancient Country."
Nanfan Ancient Country is located to the south of Cangling Ancient Country, and its national strength is also quite robust, although weaker than Cangling Ancient Country by a significant margin.
However, the relationship between the two countries is not good.
Although wars between Beastmaster nations are rare nowadays, competition in the human world is inevitably abundant.
During the Late Taichu period, wars in the human world were minimal, as the greatest enemy of humans was the Demon Beasts.
Upon entering the Celestial Beast Era, agreements were reached between humans and demons, but humans began fighting once more.
The cause of this conflict was the struggle for high-end Spirit Beast resources.
Now with the development of Blue Star, the Spirit Beast resources of countries worldwide are largely established, yet still distinctly varied.
For example, basic Spirit Beasts in Cangling Ancient Country flourish in diversity—chickens, cows, pigs, cats, etc., with little disparity in quantity.
However, Nanfan Ancient Country is distinct; their Beastmasters hold a particular affection for cattle, and according to official data, the proportion of cattle-type Beastmasters can reach 30% in this nation.
This is an extremely astonishing proportion.
They also have creatures like Plowhorn Beasts, although Plowhorn Beasts are a unique Spirit Beast native to Cangling Ancient Country, while the most common Spirit Beast in Nanfan Ancient Country is:
[Triangular Beast]
Its appearance isn’t black but white, with three horns—an existence uniquely found in the world.
In the eyes of people from Nanfan Ancient Country, their cattle species are the best in the world, without exception.
However, Cangling Ancient Country doesn’t particularly care about cattle, so they refrained from arguing.
But if you mention the Dragon Race...
People from Cangling Ancient Country will definitely get agitated, at least until they win the argument.
Jiang Yue glanced, noting beside Dasa was written:
[Desert Horned Ox]
Jiang Yue, as Xu Youzhen’s disciple, naturally learned about it.
This cattle is also completely white and triangular, belonging to High Level Spirit Transformation.
"Yue Yue, you have to put in effort; you can’t embarrass Cangling Ancient Country," the girlfriend said.
Jiang Yue felt significant pressure but still nodded and said: "I’ll do my best."
They were about to leave, yet heard an excited shout nearby:
"Haha, Plowhorn Beast, my opponent turns out to be a Plowhorn Beast."
The two looked across and saw the young man holding up the number, which was prominently number 78.
Jiang Yue glanced at the opponent’s Spirit Beast again:
[Burning Mountain Bull]
[Level: 16]
Jiang Yue was instantly embarrassed.
Though the Burning Mountain Bull is one of the evolutionary beasts of the Plowhorn Beast, Lin Chen’s Plowhorn Beast is not something ordinary Burning Mountain Bulls can compare to.
The staff beside also directly poured cold water and said: "Look clearly, his name is Lin Chen."
"I am not illiterate; I know his name is Lin Chen, what’s the big deal... Lin Chen, sounds a bit familiar," the person asked: "Is he from some distinguished family?"
The staff helplessly pointed out: "Jiuxing City, Lin Chen."
Only then did the person remember, their face turning pale as they exclaimed:
"You mean the one with Mad Cow Syndrome!!?"
At that moment, his smile froze, and nearby the Burning Mountain Bull shivered upon hearing.
However, the young man quickly comforted: "Our quality is better, there is still a chance."
...
The entire sign-up period was two days; by the evening of the second day, Tai Niu Institute released the final data.
The total number of registrants amounted to:
people.
The competition spans a month, divided into preliminary, qualifying, elimination, and finals rounds.
All matches are conducted in a 1V1 arena format, where participants can withdraw, with victory based on various ways such as knockout, voluntary concessions, etc., and in each match, high-level Spirit Beast is dispatched to stand by, intervening as needed to prevent fatalities.
"This time hosting in Black Mountain City was indeed successful," Lee Zhen sighed upon seeing.
Materials like the Heart of the Ox King, extremely rare indeed, can truly attract large crowds.
Desire is always the primary driving force.
Lin Chen’s match was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, so with nothing else to do, Qin Hao proposed going to place bets.
In such a large competition, naturally, casinos will step in to offer side bets.
However, to avoid the wrong impression, Black Mountain City strictly forbids bets exceeding twenty thousand per person.
Bored, Lin Chen also joined, taking the opportunity to gather some information.
After all, Lin Chen understands very well that bookmakers are the true beast assessment experts.
You can see that the side-betting casino is bustling with people, Lin Chen and his group entered, and staff even provided free materials.
"Thank you," Lin Chen took them, and Cai Yuanji and the other two gathered to look.
Casino’s material collection is indeed detailed, clearly introducing the information of many seed contestants.
Ranked first, unsurprisingly, is Li Jiuxiao:

[Third place, Li Qiuqiu, Purple-Eyed Bull, High Level Spirit Transformation, Level 18, Li Family member, direct lineage, battle experience unknown, championship odds: 1:10]
...
As you can see, many competitors below are from the Li Family.
Lin Chen ranks seventh while the sixth-ranked opponent of Jiang Yue is from Nanfan Ancient Country, Dasa.
[Sixth place, Anand Dasa, Desert Horned Ox, High Level Spirit Transformation, Level 17, Nanfan Ancient Country native, strength unknown, championship odds: 1:16]
When it comes to Lin Chen, it’s a long line of text explanations, longer than anyone else’s:
