BXBX NOVEL Chapter 593 Monster Trainer Exam (13)
After that pause, the old man turned to the cloaked figure and said, "How about we give you that honour?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
After all, this cloaked figure was the one that did the worst, so shouldn\'t he be the last person to receive this honour?
The one who clearly deserved it the most was Lin Fan who had given a monstrous performance. If it was given to anyone else, it would clearly be considered an injustice.
Still, the old man didn\'t care about the shocked looks that came from the crowd as he waited for the cloaked figure to come forward.
That cloaked figure didn\'t move at all, not because he was shocked, but rather because he was vigilant.
Could it be that he had been exposed?
After looking at the old man for a bit, he couldn\'t sense any ill intentions, so he figured that he hadn\'t been exposed.
Once that was determined, the cloaked figure looked over at Lin Fan and Fei Jun as his mind began to turn. It only took him a few seconds before he suddenly formed an idea of what the Tamers Guild wanted to do.
Since that was the case, there was no reason for him not to play along.
The old man revealed a faint smile and gave a slight nod of appreciation when he saw this.
In fact, he felt that this cloaked young man was quite good. Even if he was able to barely pass the exam, he had still passed it when everyone else had failed which meant that he was at least talented.
But the thing that old man appreciated the most was the fact that this cloaked young man was quick witted. It was clear by the way he acted that he understood what they were trying to do and had worked with them.
Just based on this, it seemed like he was a good seed to nurture.
This old man even considered pulling him under him as a disciple after the exam was over.
To be fair though, it wasn\'t hard for the smart people in the crowd to figure out what was happening, but they were fine with this since they also wanted to see the show that was about to follow.
After he gave his nod, the old man said, "This young friend truly is lucky. He has drawn the bye, so he automatically passes this exam and is the first person to pass the Monster Trainer Exam. Let us congratulate this young friend." After saying this, the old man started clapping which the crowd also echoed.
There were a few hesitant claps from people who didn\'t understand what was happening, but it seemed like most of the crowd had figured it out.
Of course, Fei Jun was included among those that hadn\'t figured it out yet.
The moment that the cloaked figure had shown the ball that he had drawn, Fei Jun had a triumphant look on his face.
He wanted to fight Lin Fan to shut him down, so the one thing that he was afraid of was that he wouldn\'t have the chance to fight Lin Fan. However, it seemed like the gods were still on his side since they had allowed him to fight him.
What he didn\'t know, which most of the people in the hall already knew, was that this was a setup by the Tamers Guild.
They clearly wanted to pit Lin Fan against Fei Jun since they wanted to see just how strong he was, which was also what everyone wanted to see.
Lin Fan didn\'t say a thing when he heard this, but he was a bit surprised to hear it. After all, he thought that he had already shown enough to subdue the Tamers Guild, but now it seemed like that wasn\'t the case.
Still, there was a small part of him that was confused by their decision to have him face Fei Jun.
They should already know the difference between the two of them based on what they have already seen, why were they still sending him to face him?
Didn\'t they have any better choices in the Tamers Guild?
But there was no time to think about that since they were about to fight right now.
There were cages that were brought back out for them and the old man said, "We\'ll be having you fight with the pets that you trained in the second round. Please form the temporary contracts and get ready to fight."
The cages opened to reveal the two headed wolf and the sparrow once again.
The reactions of these two pets were completely different when they were released from their cages.
The two headed wolf just took a look at what was happening outside before coming out to stand in front of the cage alone. It didn\'t even spare a glance for Fei Jun.
As for the sparrow, the moment that it caught sight of Lin Fan, it rushed out of the cage and flew into Lin Fan\'s arms. It didn\'t even care that Lin Fan had an indifferent look on his face, it did all it could to bury itself in his arms, rubbing its head in his chest.
Just based on the different reactions of the two pets, it made the difference in levels between them clear.
But Fei Jun didn\'t mind at all because he was still deluded in believing that everything up to this point was a trick that was played by Lin Fan. He believed that as long as they were able to fight each other, he would be able to expose Lin Fan.
Both of them took the temporary contract that the staff member offered them and pasted them on the back of their hands.
When contracts were reformed, all the two headed wolf did was look at Fei Jun before moving over to where he was. As for the sparrow, it tried to dig even deeper in Lin Fan\'s chest, as if trying to show all the affection that it had for him.
Seeing that both of them had finished applying the temporary contract, the old man didn\'t waste any time as he said, "Since both of you are ready, let\'s start the match." Then he didn\'t forget to add, "Remember that this is a friendly match, so don\'t go too far."
After that, he raised his hand and said, "Then let\'s start this match!" On the last syllable, his hand came down.
Both sides immediately jumped back to opposite sides of the stage, with neither of them making a move while watching the other side.
Both of them were aware that they didn\'t know the full extent of the other side\'s power, so they didn\'t want to make a rash move.
For Lin Fan, even if the Zephyr Swallow had mutated into the Tempest Swallow, he wasn\'t certain how strong it really was since it wasn\'t a pet that was registered with the system. He could tell that it had become stronger after mutating, but as for how strong it really was, he wasn\'t certain.
This was a pet that had been famous for its inability to attack, so even after mutating, Lin Fan didn\'t think that it would be that strong.
As for Fei Jun, while he didn\'t believe that Lin Fan had played some trick to pass, he still wasn\'t certain if Lin Fan had any other tricks up his sleeve. If he were to rush in and get caught off guard, it wouldn\'t end well for him.
Just like this, the two of them stared at each other for a full minute, trying to see if the other side would do anything.
The crowd naturally understood what both of them were thinking, but compared to the previous demonstration that they had put on, it was just too slow and boring. There were some people that couldn\'t help feeling a bit disappointed by this display from them.
Fei Jun was the one who had a weaker mentality between the two of them since he didn\'t have as much combat experience as Lin Fan, he had focused on training his Monster Training abilities. So this long deadlock was much harder on his nerves than it was on Lin Fan\'s nerves.
Eventually he wasn\'t able to take it anymore as he silently ordered the two headed wolf to attack.
The two headed wolf raised its heads as flames gathered in its mouths before it suddenly let out a breath of flames. However, the direction that the breath of flames was heading in was strange.
At first glance, it seemed like it was aimed at the little sparrow flying in front of it, but when one looked at it closely, they would find that this wasn\'t the case. Instead of being aimed at the sparrow right in front of it, the flame breath was actually aimed at Lin Fan who was standing behind the sparrow with just a slight deviation.
The flame breath would miss the sparrow by the slightest margin, but it would go past it to hit Lin Fan right in the face.
It seemed like Fei Jun still held his grudge and he was actually quite the fierce fellow.
He was using this match to directly attack Lin Fan, while making it seem like an accident.
