Li Ke followed the voice and suddenly saw a familiar face.
Amidst a group of fierce-looking figures, a nervous girl struggled to step forward.
Her expression looked almost like she was about to cry.
An old acquaintance, Ponzu.
The previous lazy dog loli.
She trembled as she took out the number plate she had drawn.
Her luck was absolutely terrible.
In the last round of the assessment, she had drawn choices that were opposed to Li Ke and other demons every time.
And this time, she directly drew Li Ke's number plate.
When she got this number plate, she even wanted to throw it away!
The image of the guy who had been cut into pieces during the assessment couldn't help but flash in her mind.
So cruel!
Would she also be cut into pieces?
"Li Ke... I... I... I give you my number plate. You saved me before... I choose... I choose to forfeit..."
Tears shimmered in Ponzu eyes as she trembled and presented her number plate.
246!
"Brother Ke..."
Gon and the others looked at Li Ke.
Clearly, as young kids, they thought that Gon, who also looked like a child, seemed a bit pitiful.
She chose to self-eliminate without even waiting for the competition to begin.
She even voluntarily handed her number plate to Li Ke.
She understood that the moment she drew Li Ke's number plate, she had essentially lost this assessment.
To pass the assessment, she would need to obtain at least three other number plates, but she couldn't find three candidates weaker than herself among those present.
"What a fool! To come this far and choose to give up that number plate. If you don't want it, I'll take it!"
A burly man in the crowd rushed out, his eyes fixed on Ponzu number plate.
This was exactly what he needed.
As long as he got this number plate, it meant he had a ticket to the next finals.
Even if there was a risk in snatching the number plate now, it was definitely worth a try.
This guy was large but surprisingly quick.
In just a breath, he charged in front of Ponzu to get it!!
Excitement spread across his face.
He had already decided that after grabbing the number plate, he would hide in the jungle until the end of the competition.
But just as his hand was about to touch the number plate, a shadow flashed by.
It was Qiyao with silver short hair, his sharp claws swiping through the air.
Blood splattered.
The burly man fell to the ground in shock, his number plate rolling away.
Qiyao bent down and slowly picked it up, glanced at it, and tossed it to Li Ke, "Brother Ke, this isn't the number plate I wanted."
105, huh?
Li Ke glanced at the number plate.
It wasn't needed by anyone in their group.
A useless one-point plate.
"Ma... Master... my number plate... give..."
Ponzu's hands trembled.
To be honest, giving up at this point was hard for her to bear.
But she also understood she had almost no chance.
Moreover, the other candidates present looked at her with very unfriendly expressions.
It could be said that she had almost been marked as a soft target.
It was clear that what followed would be a true elimination match, where weaker contestants would be eliminated more quickly.
Even in the eliminations, there could be life-threatening dangers.
"Since you've come this far, isn't it a bit bad to just give up?"
Li Ke glanced at Ponzu, green-haired loli, who might grow up to be a beautiful girl.
Right now, it was obvious she was still in the development stage.
If he remembered correctly, her ability should involve a lot of bees under that big hat on her head.
She had the ability to control bees.
Name: Ponzu
Attributes: [Bee Control] (Blue), [Analysis] (Blue), [Close Combat] (Green), [Timid] (White), etc.
----------------
Quite... a weak loli.
However, the bees... seemed to have decent utility in the upcoming assessment.
At least before the nen circle was formed, the detection range of the bees would definitely be the largest among all candidates.
In fact, in the original plot, Ponzu had also utilized the bees' detection range to navigate dangers.
She even dealt with the snake charmer Scar Peng.
She could be considered a radar scout.
"I... I..."
Ponzu instinctively took a step back, looking at Li Ke in fear.
She simply couldn't connect the rather handsome face in front of her with the demon who killed without blinking.
"Are you interested in joining our team?"
Li Ke suddenly asked.
"Ah!?"
Ponzu thought she had misheard.
"Ma... Master... did you just say you want me to join
