"Tiandao, my legs are a bit weak, could you give me a hand?"
On the edge of the central arena, Jing Liuli stared in horror at the enormous creature in the center of the field, currently yawning, her legs trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing her cowardly display, already cowering before the fight, Tiandao immediately said in an annoyed tone, "Coward, this thing isn't a real fierce beast; it won't kill you."
"That's not necessarily true," Yun Meng appeared behind the three of them at some point, leaning close to Tiandao's ear, her red lips slightly parted: ".Little Tiandao, today's assessment is different from before."
"If you still approach this assessment with the playful mindset you used before, then perhaps you'll be fine, but it might not be so for little Caroline and little Liuli."
"After all, the Doctor personally told me that those important figures are all looking forward to your performance right now, and that my Great Earth Dragon Lizard must not go easy."
"I think I don't need to tell you what kind of person the Doctor is."
Tiandao's mouth twitched: "I know, that old guy's personality is like a stone in a latrine, both smelly and hard."
"Once he's decided something, he'll see it through, no matter what anyone else says."
"But Sister Yun, although I don't know what you've fed this Great Earth Dragon Lizard, I remember that the stone scales on the dorsal fins of ordinary Great Earth Dragon Lizards are mostly yellowish-grey, right?"
"But look at your Great Earth Dragon Lizard, I can see the metallic sheen on its back from hundreds of meters away."
"This is hardly an ordinary Great Earth Dragon Lizard; I think it's almost about to break through!"
"Eh~ Who knows?"
Looking at Yun Meng feigning ignorance, Tiandao gnashed his molars, almost shattering them.
You're telling me you don't know about the star beast you cultivated? Are you trying to fool a child?!
Jing Liuli, hearing Tiandao's words, belatedly noticed the peculiarity of this Great Earth Dragon Lizard.
And this discovery immediately made her, who was already feeling like retreating, conjure up the idea of simply running away.
"Ti-Tiandao, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, I'm leaving first!"
Unfortunately, Liuli, who turned to flee, was anticipated by Tiandao, who grabbed her collar first, lifting her up like a kitten.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Jing Liuli hugged her precious pillow, clasping her hands together and pleading, "Tiandao, please just let me down first, okay?"
Tiandao rolled his eyes at her and said, "That's a nice thought, but since you're already here, off you go!"
"No!!!"
Amidst Liuli's screams, Tiandao carried her and leaped into the arena.
Thud!
As Tiandao released her collar, the girl immediately collapsed to the ground, hugging her pillow, her cowardice visibly apparent.
Compared to this timid butterfly, cowering before the fight.
The calm Meow Caroline, who slowly walked into the arena alongside them, was undoubtedly much better.
Although she also knew that the three of them stood no chance of winning.
But as Tiandao said, they didn't need to defeat this Great Earth Dragon Lizard this time; they just needed to make the old folks watching this assessment drop their jaws.
And if it was the latter, their success rate... was not small.
Watching Tiandao and the others take to the stage one after another, Yun Meng outside the arena immediately smiled and asked, "Are you all ready?"
Tiandao nodded while pressing down on the timid butterfly beside him who was frantically trying to shake her head.
Seeing this, Yun Meng immediately ignored the pleading look from a certain timid butterfly and coolly announced, "Alright, then the final assessment begins!"
As soon as Yun Meng's voice fell, the Great Earth Dragon Lizard, which had been lying on the ground in the distance, instantly changed its gaze from lazy to furious.
Then it stood up, opened its massive maw, and let out a deafening roar at the three of them from afar.
"Roar!"
The deep, heavy sound waves transformed into a strong wind, sweeping over Tiandao and the two others in an instant.
Making them feel the terrifying pressure from this behemoth at their very first encounter.
And this was just an appetizer.
Boom...
The Great Earth Dragon Lizard, having stood up, stomped a claw on the hard arena, transforming into a moving small mountain, charging towards Tiandao and the others with the force of Mount Tai pressing down.
Its astonishing weight caused the massive central arena to visibly shake with just its simple running.
"Scatter!"
Seeing the ferocious Great Earth Dragon Lizard attacking, Caroline, standing at the back of the team, immediately shouted.
And even before she spoke, Tiandao had already run towards the front-left.
Even Jing Liuli, who had initially appeared very cowardly, burst forth with astonishing potential at this moment.
Although she kept saying she was scared, her actions showed no hesitation.
Her precious pillow, as tall as herself, now surprisingly exhibited a 'flying carpet' effect, dragging her body quickly towards the front-right of the arena.
The appearance of this ability immediately drew the attention of the important figures in the VIP room.
"Not bad, I was wondering before why this child Liuli, despite having such significant personality flaws, could still rank third among these monstrous Star Children."
"Now I understand, her talent in star energy control must be top-tier S-class, right?"
Ms. Canary looked at Jing Liuli, who was sitting on her pillow and flying rapidly at low altitude, not stinting on her praise for her.
Although she could also see that Jing Liuli could achieve this because her 'star artifact' in the shape of a pillow played a significant role.
But just like even the best Star Source cannot exert its due effect if it encounters someone who doesn't know how to use it.
Similarly, even the best 'star artifact' cannot exert its maximum effect if it doesn't encounter someone who is skilled in using it.
Ms. Canary didn't know what level of 'star artifact' that pillow was.
But she knew that with Jing Liuli's current weak star energy, merely being able to drive such a 'star artifact' was already extremely difficult, let alone controlling it as if it were her own arm.
This could only mean one thing: Jing Liuli possessed star energy control far beyond ordinary people, capable of accomplishing the greatest feats with the least amount of star energy.
"This little girl named Jing Liuli is indeed good, but the Celestial Cat behind her is equally impressive."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Hearing the Griffin man's words, Ms. Canary immediately looked seriously at Caroline, who was standing at the back.
Unlike Ms. Canary, who focused on Jing Liuli, the Griffin man had placed his attention on Caroline from the very beginning.
This was not only because he, like Caroline, belonged to the Mech System.
It was also because he saw the immense potential within Caroline.
At this moment, Caroline's two cat ears stood tall, and her hair had completely changed from its original dark green to the same silver-white as Tiandao's.
Her appearance was very much like an emotionless Wi-Fi router.
Seeing this scene, Ms. Canary seemed to understand something after a moment of thought and exclaimed, "Star Energy Data Chain! This child is so young yet possesses such astonishing computing power, another little monster!"
The Star Energy Data Chain is something that only a few exceptionally talented Mech System users can achieve.
Because the so-called Star Energy Data Chain involves a Mech System user acting as a signal base station, using star energy to link with other teammates, and sharing real-time battlefield data with them.
And achieving this is no easy feat.
Because this requires the Mech System user to possess powerful star energy control, a certain star energy level, and also a certain amount of computing power.
Otherwise, let alone sharing the collected battlefield information with teammates.
The complex flood of information on the battlefield alone would be enough to overwhelm the Mech System user's brain.
Commonly known as... brain overload.
However, while Caroline and Jing Liuli's performances were indeed impressive.
Compared to Tiandao at this moment, it was like a firefly competing with the sun and moon.
Because Tiandao, facing the Great Earth Dragon Lizard charging directly at him, inexplicably stopped.
He took off the sunglasses perched on his nose, revealing his signature pale blue eyes.
The next second, fine star-track patterns appeared in the whites of Tiandao's eyes, as if the entire starry sky was flowing within them.
Heavenly Eye Future Sight!
