Legendary Battle Pet-Chapter 240 - Shameless

Mei spoke quickly.

"What?"

The Black Eagle chieftain was taken aback, momentarily at a loss for words. He hadn't expected that Sarimah, the prominent figure in charge of the tribe's ritual activities, would think so highly of Ethen.

"Moreover, it's not just Granny Shaman; even Lord Holy Totem holds him in great esteem and has personally guided him..."

Mei immediately told the Black Eagle chieftain about Ethen's visit with Rainbow to meet Lord Holy Totem.

Upon hearing this, the Black Eagle chieftain was visibly shocked. He never imagined that this young man before him would be so valued by Lord Holy Totem.

As the guardian deity of the Black Eagle Tribe, Lord Holy Totem holds a nearly divine status within the tribe, being the object of everyone's faith.

To be personally taught by Lord Holy Totem is an unparalleled honor, a privilege even the Black Eagle chieftain himself has never had.

Moreover, not even the Great Shaman, who interacts most with Lord Holy Totem, has received such treatment. Yet Ethen, this seemingly ordinary young man, had managed to achieve this.

How could the Black Eagle chieftain not be astounded? He somewhat regretted his earlier attitude towards Ethen.

However, being a seasoned leader who had weathered many storms, the Black Eagle chieftain had long since developed a composed demeanor.

After finishing his conversation with Mei, he immediately approached Ethen, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Nephew Ethen, I'm very pleased to meet you. We must find time to sit down and have a drink together."

The Black Eagle chieftain's tone was affectionate, and his smile was bright, making him seem like a familiar elder to Ethen, completely different from his earlier demeanor.

At this moment, there was no trace of the dissatisfaction he had previously shown towards Ethen. This sudden change left Ethen a bit bewildered.

It wasn't just Ethen; Najib and the others were also taken aback. Moments ago, the chieftain seemed to have a significant hostility towards this young man named Ethen, and now he was acting so warmly.

What's going on?

At this moment, only Mei understood why her father's attitude had taken a complete 180 degree turn. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: You're my dad, you're amazing, and wisdom truly comes with age.

In the sky, Ethen stood on the Rainbow back, feeling the refreshing wind beside him, still somewhat unable to snap back to reality.

Just before leaving Black Eagle City, the Black Eagle chief unexpectedly announced that Ethen would serve as the deputy leader of this mission.

He even explicitly told the leader, Najib, to pay extra attention to Ethen's opinions. Deputy leader? But I'm not from the Black Eagle tribe, what am I doing as a deputy leader?

Pay attention to my opinions? I don't even know how to make medicine, what opinions could I possibly have?

Mei, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ethen, noticed his confusion and reassured him, "Don't worry about it. The deputy leader is just a nominal position. You can just come along for the ride."

"Okay." Ethen nodded.

"Actually, my father means well; it's just that he has a habit of being overly enthusiastic when trying to show goodwill. You'll get used to it eventually..."

"Uh, alright then."

Ethen rubbed his forehead.

Although he was a bit puzzled, he had to admit that the Black Eagle chief was indeed a bold person, giving him a deputy leader position despite not knowing much about him.

...

Due to the chief's instructions, to accommodate Ethen's feelings, Najib took the liberty of slowing down the pace, allowing Ethen, the outsider, to fully appreciate the magnificent scenery of the far western grasslands.

Ethen didn't object to this. With Blux's evolution path clearly defined, he felt much more relaxed and found some enjoyment in sightseeing.

The group moved forward slowly until the next morning, when the Black Eagle tribe leisurely arrived at the competition venue outside White Tiger

City.

Upon their arrival, they attracted a lot of attention.

Among the three Famous tribes, the Black Eagle tribe was the last to arrive, as the other two tribes had already been there for a while.

Many people from the other two tribes speculated about why the Black Eagle tribe arrived so late, sparking a flurry of discussions.

However, the members of the Black Eagle tribe ignored these discussions and proceeded directly to their designated resting area to await the start of the competition.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At 9:00 a.m., the sound of rhythmic drums resonated through the competition site right on time. The host took the stage and announced the rules of the competition.

A total of 108 pharmacists from the three major tribes participated in this competition. The first round was a group stage. The 108 contestants were randomly drawn into groups of three to compete.

The first place in each group could advance to the next round, while the other two would be eliminated. The task for the first round was simple: identifying pharmacists raw materials.

The organizing committee had prepared a large variety of raw materials, which were randomly given to the participating pharmacists to identify.

Each correctly identified material, along with a clear description of its characteristics and pharmacists, would earn the contestant 10 points.

If a contestant could only vaguely identify the material, they would earn 3 points. Failure to recognize a material would result in 0 points. The contestant with the highest score in each group would advance to the next round.

"The reason for setting the rules this way in the first round is mainly to assess the pharmacists' foundational knowledge. After all, the premise of pharmacy is to recognize as many raw materials as possible. Without understanding the materials, any pharmacist efforts would be like building castles in the air. Brother Ethen, I'm in the first group, let's talk later."

After briefly explaining the rules to Ethen, the team leader, Najib, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and headed towards the competition arena.
