"Merge with a pet?"
"That's so perverted?"
This was the first time Su Lin had ever heard of a beast tamer with this kind of ability.
"Don't underestimate his ability. I've seen it with my own eyes once, and it's incredibly strong."
Lin Qingli, however, was very serious.
How strong is it?
Su Lin asked.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated." He would never underestimate the heroes of the world just because he is strong.
"How should I put it..."
Lin Qingli thought for a moment and said, "At the time, we were fighting a golden BOSS. After it merged with its beast pet, it unleashed a move that dealt over a million damage!"
"Millions?!"
Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
If that's the case, then it's just average.
When Chi Yan was still the Explosive Flame Python, he was already capable of this, let alone after undergoing two more transformations.
Putting aside everything else, Crimson Flame in its Crimson Blood Burning Sky Dragon state can easily deal hundreds of thousands of damage with a single ten-shot combo, and a million damage is just a matter of a few ten-shot combos.
Not much pressure.
"This was before his second job advancement. After the second job advancement, because I explicitly refused to team up with them, he never showed me his true strength. So, strictly speaking, a million damage is just his lower limit. Nobody knows how strong he really is."
Lin Qingli said.
"clear."
Su Lin nodded.
The opponent was also a beast tamer, possessing an SS-rank beast pet, which was a rank higher than Chi Yan after its evolution, so its strength was certainly not weak.
But Su Lin wasn't worried.
The Crimson Flame Python evolved through system-added points, always reaching a perfect state, with its bloodline power maximized!
Even if the opponent's pet is a rank higher than its own, in a real battle, it's not certain who will be stronger!
"This is interesting."
"I was worried before that the competition in this year's college entrance examination would be too weak, and that it would be a one-sided crushing battle that would be boring. But now it seems that it's actually going to be interesting."
Su Lin said with a smile.
"There's no way around it, the reward for the top scorer this year is just too tempting. Almost every family or force that has the right to know the news in advance has given their geniuses a strict order and used the most extreme training methods. It can be said that this year's college entrance examination is definitely the most intense one yet."
Lin Qingli said.
"Let's see who has the last laugh!"
Su Lin smiled.
"come on."
"come on!"
The two exchanged a glance and headed to the lottery draw point.
The lottery process was very simple.
Each person is randomly assigned a number, and all the numbers are placed in a large drum. Lü Qingshan then manually selects two numbers blindly.
With Lin Xiong, Jiang Yunbin, and Ye Hongling present to supervise, no one would suspect cheating.
Moreover, besides these important figures, there are also specially appointed invigilators and graders from above, so there is absolutely no possibility of favoritism or abuse of power.
It is worth mentioning that in the past, these special invigilators were highly paid and were always received with the highest level of hospitality from the local authorities.
Unfortunately, Ye Hongling's appearance overshadowed everyone else.
Anyone who dares to put on airs in front of this old sword saint is truly courting death!
Meanwhile, Lü Qingshan was busy drawing lots for the battle.
"Elder Ye, it is truly an honor for our Jiangyang City that you could come in person this time."
"Yes, yes, I've heard recently that those little bastards from the Extraordinary People Cult aren't very well-behaved. I was worried they might cause trouble during this college entrance examination. But with you here, everything will be foolproof."
Lin Xiong and the others smiled and said to Ye Hongling.
"The Cult of Extraordinary People?"
Ye Hongling frowned: "These brats have been jumping around quite a bit lately, but they won't have many good days left."
"Oh? Is there some arrangement from above?"
Lin Xiong and the others immediately perked up their ears.
"The Demon Suppression Army has a plan."
Ye Hongling didn't keep you in suspense: "Anyway, this matter will be officially announced soon, so it's fine to tell you in advance. Xiao Lin, you've been having good luck lately. Not only did you have a wonderful daughter, but you're also about to get a promotion."
"A promotion?"
Lin Xiong was dumbfounded: "Elder Ye, what do you mean by that? I'm already the city lord, how can I get promoted? The next step is the lord of a region, and our Jiangbei Region's Lord Yi has no intention of retiring."
Not only him, but also the heads of the other four major families, as well as Jiang Yunbin, were completely confused.
Although the official positions in the Dragon Kingdom are not as complicated as they were before the game, they still have very strict requirements regarding strength, status, and military achievements.
With Lin Xiong's level and experience, he could at most become a city lord or a domain lord? That's impossible. Unless his cultivation level greatly improves and he reaches the threshold of the seventh level, he will never be able to reach that level in his lifetime.
After all, unlike a city lord who only governs a city, a region is equivalent to a province or even more in the past, with at least a dozen cities under its jurisdiction, and the status is vastly different.
What great thing has Lin Xiong done recently? He hasn't achieved any great merit. Can he really rise to the top just because he had an SSS-rank daughter?
How is that possible!
"Idiot, of course you can't be the domain lord of Jiangbei Region. Even if you were given the position, could you sit there comfortably?"
Ye Hongling snorted coldly and explained:
"However, after the college entrance examination, Jiangyang City will be expanded. The higher-ups plan to separate this area from the Jiangbei Domain. You may not be able to become the domain lord, but you can still be the lord of a directly administered city."
independent?!
Expansion?!
These two words struck like a thunderbolt, shaking everyone to their core!
Jiangyang City is about to take off!
What the hell!
This is a huge deal!
You have to understand, they were the people who already held the most power in this city, and their wealth was already deeply tied to this city!
We all prosper together, and we all suffer together!
Now, Ye Hongling herself says that Jiangyang City needs to develop and expand!
Doesn't this mean they finally have a chance to take the next step?
In an instant, the heads of the four major families blushed!
excitement!
excited!
Everyone present was a seasoned veteran, with masterful self-control, yet even so, they couldn't control their emotions in the face of such explosive news!
Even Jiang Yunbin was so excited that he couldn't speak.
As the president of Xingyue Trading Company, he originally only had one step to advance: to the provincial capital. But if he did that, it would mean that he would have to completely lose the foundation he had built up over half his life and start over!
Now that Jiangyang City is going to be directly administered by the central government, he, as the regional head, doesn't have to do anything, and his status will rise like a rocket!
How could I not be excited!
How could I not be excited?!
Of course, the one who benefited the most was definitely Lin Xiong, the city lord!
Sitting at home, one's official position rises from the sky!
"Alright, look at you all. Don't get too excited yet. Since the higher-ups have focused their attention on this area, it means there are special circumstances. Jiangyang City will be very lively in the future. Whether you local bullies can suppress those other local bullies is still a question."
Ye Hongling snorted, pulling the group back to their senses.
