Chapter 312 Reward
"Freshman Challenge?" Li Qian was a little confused and asked doubtfully.

"It's the Freshman Challenge."

Lu Tianjiao explained: "It happens every year. Generally, it is held in the middle of the semester, which is at the end of October or the beginning of November."

"The school sent out a notice yesterday."

“The reward is quite generous.”

Lu Tianjiao's words instantly aroused Li Qian's curiosity, "What are the rewards?"

"I took a quick look and only focused on the top three."

Lu Tianjiao said: "First place, the Samsara Fruit; second place, the Soul Crystal; third place, the Emperor-level Potential Pet Egg."

"Fuck, it's so generous!"

After hearing the reward Lu Tianjiao mentioned, Li Qian couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

It goes without saying that pet eggs with emperor-level potential can be smoothly promoted to the emperor level as long as they grow normally. How many people desire this but cannot reach it.

Soul crystals, pet eggs with potential no less than the emperor level, can directly enhance the spiritual power of the beastmaster without any side effects.

With Li Qian's current level of mental strength, if he used soul crystals to assist in meditation, he could easily advance to the commander level.

Even if he advances to the commander level, it is estimated that only a small part of the energy will be consumed.

If all of it is absorbed, it is not impossible to directly enter the overlord level.

Of course, with Li Qian's current level of mental strength and physical fitness, it would be very difficult to absorb it all.

Not to mention the final first place.

Its value is even equal to the sum of the second and third place rewards.

The description of the fruit of reincarnation is very mysterious. It is said that it can awaken the wisdom of past lives and even make people recall some fragments of memories from past lives.

Of course, there is no way to verify whether this rumor is true or false.

But one thing can be confirmed.

Those who take the Fruit of Samsara have a high probability of awakening their second beast taming talent.

As we all know, a beastmaster, under normal circumstances, can only have one beast taming talent.

This is the general public's perception.

However, Li Qian had read many books and had communicated with cultivation masters like Sun Hongyi, so he knew some secrets.

As far as he knew, some beastmasters could possess a second beast taming talent.

The simplest one is...being born with the second talent of beast control.

However, this type of beastmaster is rare, and the probability of awakening is pitifully low.

In addition to this, one can use special items to develop a second beast taming talent.

The Samsara Fruit is such a special item.

And even among special items, it stands out.

Great value.

The freshman challenge is able to offer such rewards, which is indeed very tempting.

At this moment, Li Qian had to admit that he was indeed moved.

But soon, his expression turned a little ugly, "You said so much, but it has nothing to do with me."

"I majored in training, not combat. Even if I participated in this freshman challenge, I would probably just be a runner-up."

It's not that Li Qian is belittling himself.

To say such things actually shows self-awareness.

If he were in his junior or senior year, he would still have the confidence to compete.

Now, forget it.

Although he awakened the golden finger and could promote the growth of his mental strength by completing tasks, it was too late in the end.

Compared with ordinary beastmasters, I should still have a slight advantage.

However, compared with the younger generations carefully cultivated by big families and big forces, there is definitely a gap.

Those elite juniors, let alone pets with overlord potential, even pets with emperor potential probably have contracts. In this regard, Li Qian also cannot take advantage of it.

Hearing this, Lu Tianjiao smiled and continued, "Hey, this freshman challenge is different from ordinary challenges."

"You, too, have a chance."

Facing Li Qian's inquiring gaze, he began to talk freely, "This is a competition for freshmen jointly organized by the top 100 beast-controlling universities in the country."

"The competition is divided into many categories, not just combat competitions, but also support competitions and training competitions..."

After hearing this, Li Qian's eyes suddenly lit up.

If there is a training competition, he is still very confident.

"The competition will be held at the end of October or even the beginning of November. The news has been released now?" Li Qian asked.

"The news is released at this time every year, and it is also to give students more time to prepare." Lu Tianjiao said.

Li Qian nodded.

Next, he discussed some details of the game with Lu Tianjiao.

Lu Tianjiao was a freshman like him, so why did he know so many secrets?

Li Qian no longer wanted to ask.

Lu Tianjiao’s identity must be complicated. He did not mention it actively, and Li Qian would not explore it.

The two chatted until about ten o'clock in the evening, when Lu Tianjiao left.

The next day, Sunday.

Li Qian doesn't have the habit of staying in bed.

I got up early.

I went to the nearest playground and did some exercise.

Had another breakfast.

A little after eight o'clock, he returned to the dormitory.

"Who are you?" Li Qian asked with some confusion when he saw someone standing at the door of his dormitory.

This person is a woman.

Li Qian was quite puzzled.

This girl seems a little familiar.

But for a moment, I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

"Hello, Li Qian."

When the girl saw Li Qian appear, she immediately walked over with a bag of fruit in her hand.

"I'm Mary, Mary Galloway. Thank you for saving me last time." The girl said with gratitude on her face.

"It's you!" After listening to her self-introduction, Li Qian finally remembered everything.

It turned out to be Lu Tianjiao’s old lover.

This guy must have been possessed by some evil supernatural creature last time, which caused a lot of trouble for both him and Lu Tianjiao.

He also suffered serious injuries as a result.

Now it seems that I have finally recovered.

"It wasn't just me. To be exact, the main force that rescued you that night was Lu Ming and a girl named 'Xue Yuan'." Li Qian opened the door and let Mary Galloway in.

Mary Galloway followed Li Qian into the dormitory, and at the latter's polite invitation, she put down the fruit and sat on the sofa.

"Classmate Xue Yuan, I will go and thank you. As for Lu Daluo... humph!" said Mary Galloway.

It can be seen that even though they have broken up, she is still full of resentment towards Lu Tianjiao.

I guess he was badly cheated at that time.

"Haha...well...it seems that you have recovered." Li Qian didn't know how to respond, so he laughed and abruptly changed the subject.

"Yes, after lying in the hospital bed for so long, I finally recovered. This freshman orientation ceremony is quite special... hehe..." Mary Galloway smiled self-deprecatingly when she heard this.
