In the evening, Lin Chen had the Little Fox prepare a grand feast to celebrate.

To be honest, Lin Chen was eager to find someone to test his strength immediately.

It was just that a couple of days ago, Liu Gu had a brief meeting with him:

"This time in the Beast Fighting Conference, the Spirit Academy has high hopes for you."

"There are nine slots across three grades. In the freshman category, you and Fang You must uphold the banner."

"This Beast Fighting Conference encompasses a wide range of interests, especially Celestial Beast Island, which concerns the top national combat power in the future."

"Because of this, the Six Kingdoms all attach great importance to it. Though it appears calm on the surface, the battle has already begun secretly."

The battle Liu Gu referred to was a war of information.

Not to mention other countries, but even Cangling Ancient Country has sent spies to the other Five Great Countries to learn the list of participants and devise strategies.

Thus, Liu Gu told Lin Chen that if he intends to vie for the championship, he should avoid revealing his strength to the public before the conference begins as much as possible.

If his combat power is thoroughly analyzed, it would be a disadvantage.

Thus, thinking of the rich rewards, Lin Chen had to endure.

The Little Fox's evolution kit of ten items depends on this opportunity.

...

Three days after Xiaobai's Soul-Calming Hoof evolved, the Spirit Academy issued another announcement, once again pertaining to the Six Nations Beast Fighting Conference.

[Beast Fighting Conference Notice]

[The Six Nations Beast Fighting Conference is crucial to the national foundation. After a consensus in Dubhe Pavilion, national gifts will be bestowed upon official participants]

Lin Chen was not surprised when he saw this.

This was not an upgrade of the reward; the evolution kit of ten items was the reward from the Spirit Academy.

As the Beast Fighting Conference affects the distribution of resources, every edition has rewards after the Dubhe Pavilion deliberations, and each edition has slight differences in rewards.

[Dubhe Pavilion has decided that those who enter as participants and achieve good results will receive the following rewards:]

[First, for second place, the national gift: Thousand-Year Demon Pill]

[Second, for the championship, an additional national gift: a Spirit Egg produced on Celestial Beast Island]

Seeing these two rewards, Lin Chen's eyes turned red...

The Thousand-Year Demon Pill is equivalent to a walking Spirit Spring, greatly enhancing the speed of cultivation.

As for the Spirit Egg from Celestial Beast Island, it's even more of a treasure.

Celestial Beast Island is universally acknowledged by the Six Kingdoms as forbidden for humans to enter; only when it opens will the Six Kingdoms send people to enter, distributing resources according to the Beast Fighting Conference's rankings.

Most of these resources are Spirit Eggs.

There are many cases where these Spirit Eggs evolved into Immortal Beasts.

One year, a Spirit Egg from Celestial Beast Island found its way to the civilian population, resulting in a bloody struggle with many factions falling.

Therefore, this championship reward is absolutely enticing.

Lin Chen understood why Dubhe Pavilion was so generous this time because since the Beast Fighting Conference began, Cangling Ancient Country was ranked first for the most editions.

However, in recent years, Cangling Ancient Country's ranking has significantly declined.

In the last five editions prior to the last, Cangling Ancient Country consistently placed second. Last year, they lost to Beiming Country and took third place.

Fortunately, the subsequent contestants made an effort, or they would have even lost to East Sakura Country.

East Sakura Country and Cangling Ancient Country are arch-enemies, for a simple reason:

Since the Taichu Era, East Sakura Country has always been a vassal of Cangling Ancient Country. Later, in the Beastmaster era, East Sakura Country turned over, integrated resources in the eastern region, established sovereignty, and started extensively promoting themselves as the main country.

They fell just short of claiming the entire Blue Star as their territory.

Moreover, in the national war of those years, East Sakura Country was the harshest against Cangling Ancient Country.

Therefore, relations between the citizens of the two countries are the worst. There's a saying among the populace:

"Lose to anyone but not to East Sakura Country."

East Sakura Country is the bottom line for Cangling Ancient Country.

They almost lost the previous edition, so it's understandable that Dubhe Pavilion became concerned.

[With more than a year left before the competition, Dubhe Pavilion has decided to extend the registration period by three months. Any eligible Spirit Academy student may register]

[Registration ends in three months, after which the selection competition will officially begin]

[Signed: Dubhe Pavilion/Spirit Academy]

After reading this, Lin Chen took several deep breaths.

Even someone as detached from fame and gain as he was so out of character.

Imagine how others would react to these rewards...

Wouldn't they just go insane?

....

Sure enough, the number of registrations skyrocketed on that very day.

Previously, many students had a deep understanding of themselves, feeling there was no chance against the likes of Lin Chen and Fang You.

Now they no longer thought that way.

In other words, if the ghost doesn't budge, the benefit isn't big enough.

Three days later, a rumor spread that, according to incomplete statistics, already two-thirds of the students had registered for this edition of the Beast Fighting Conference.

Given the overwhelming number of registrations, the Spirit Academy issued another announcement, concluding registration three days earlier and immediately beginning the selection competition.

The rules of the Beast Fighting Conference are simple: it's human against human.

'Human against human' doesn't refer to Beastmasters fighting each other, but rather each Beastmaster deploying all their Spirit Beasts in combat.

The competition is divided into two formats:

First is the Mixed Beast Battle, where two or more Spirit Beasts fight together.

Second is the Single Beast Battle, where the Spirit Beasts contracted by the Beastmaster each fight individually.

In other words, not only Xiaobai but now Xiaohong, contracted to Lin Chen, must also participate.

The two formats aren't entirely fixed, nor are they decided by participating students but are determined by drawing lots.

According to the founders of the Beast Fighting Conference:

Luck is also a form of strength, reflecting a nation's fate.

After all, the strength of the participating contestants varies.
