Chapter 13 - Beast Taming Class

Chapter 13 - Beast Taming Class


Ye Xuan lifted his head and, his eyes shining with excitement, looked at the ginormous Amber Dragon, which stood as tall as a tiny building.


It had amberlike skin, which exuded four different colors of light, and had chilling, dragon-like eyes and was incredibly graceful, as revealed when it slowly flapped its wings. Such a behemoth was truly mesmerizing.


So much so that he fell in love with it at first glance.


"So what do you think? Pretty neat, isn't it?" Nong Lejia asked Ye Xuan with a smile.


"Yeah." Ye Xuan nodded.


He made up his mind that he would get a beast like that for himself when he went into the Amber Secret Realm.


"I knew you'd like it. When this old pal of mine was still at the Apprentice Level, I'm sure many people were envious of me," Nong Lejia said proudly.


However, as soon as his worlds fell, his eyes flashed with an indescribable gloominess as he touched the cold, sleek body of the Dual-winged Amber Dragon beast.


"Of course, this beast, who was originally a four star, has dropped to Silver one star because of the constant leveling up. I'm afraid that it has no hope of reaching Gold or even higher levels in the future."


Ye Xuan silently nodded.


Most Beast Tamers were emotionally invested in their first beast.


But with Nong Lejia's beast, because its default level was too low, it didn't have that high of a star rating.


A beast like that could do well in the early stages. But in the later stages, it wouldn't provide much help to the Beast Tamer.


Hence, he could roughly guess Nong Lejia's feelings.


But on this issue, he couldn't do anything to help him.


His Beast Editor would only work on his own beasts.


Just like how Beast Tamers with extraordinary talents could only assist their own beasts in increasing their star ratings, his Beast Editor had no effect on other people's beasts.


However, it was precisely because of this that he dared to display his talent without hesitation.


Otherwise, with his talent, he would certainly tempt many people into capturing him and using him as a tool.


"Let's go. I'll take you to see who your classmates will be for the next two months."


"They're all in the Combat Hall right now. In the future, you'll be spending most of your time there."


The gloomy expression in Nong Lejia's eyes disappeared. With a wave of his hand, he stored the Dual-winged Amber Dragon back inside the gemstone on the ring he was wearing.


Then, he walked toward one of the buildings nearby.


Ye Xuan glanced at the ring on Nong Lejia's hand. He knew that the gemstone was the legendary Beast Taming Orb.


This item was produced from the ruins that appeared along with the many quantum fissures and secret realms that cropped up.


Even the bad ones were sold for 100,000 dollars.


Most Beast Tamers with a bit of wealth would get one.


After Ye Xuan enviously glanced at the Beast Taming Orb on Nong Lejia's hand, he quickly followed Nong Lejia to the nearby building.


As he got closer, the roaring of unknown beasts, which would arise from time to time in that building, became clearer.


And as the two walked into the Combat Hall, Ye Xuan saw at a glance that there were dozens of people inside, as well as many kinds of strange beasts, who outnumbered the humans.


"Gale Monster, Silvermoon Demon Wolf, Bluewater Toad…"


Ye Xuan looked at each of the beasts, his eyes alight with excitement.


He'd never seen so many beasts up close before.


He'd had a deep-rooted love for beasts ever since he was a child.


"Ain't I just a little tiny?"


On Ye Xuan's shoulder, Lil wan saw that Ye Xuan was staring intently at the beasts in the Combat Hall. She pursed her tiny mouth out of jealously and muttered to herself, feeling slightly depressed.


She had never seen Ye Xuan look at herself with such passion.


Therefore, she felt that it must be because she was too little.


Hearing Lil wan mumbling, Ye Xuan turned around and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong?"


"Nothing. I'll try my best to advance to the Dark Iron Level as soon as possible," Lil wan said as she raised her tiny, clenched fist.


Once she broke into the Dark Iron Level, she could evolve into a Divine Wood Elf with Ye Xuan's assistance.


She hoped she'd grow a little bigger once she became a Divine Wood Elf.


She lowered her head and looked at her own physique.


She felt that if she was larger, she would better match human beauty standards.


Ye Xuan smiled.


Of course, Ye Xuan didn't like Lil wan any less because of this. Instead, he felt that she, whose heart was full of fantasy, was all the more adorable.


At this moment, as Ye Xuan followed Nong Lejia into the Combat Hall, the students inside turned their eyes to Ye Xuan and tried to guess his origins.


Entering the hall, Nong Lejia clapped his hands and spoke. "Everyone, this is Ye Xuan. He's a twelfth grader. He awakened his Beast Taming aptitude yesterday. During these next two months, he'll be joining all of you in your sprint for the college entrance examination. Please welcome him."


"A twelfth grader?"


The students in the Combat Hall were all slightly startled when they heard what Nong Lejia said.


Generally speaking, the better a person's Beast Taming aptitude, the earlier it would awaken.


Of course, there were exceptions to this.


However, for Ye Xuan, who had just awakened his Beast Taming aptitude two months before the college entrance examination, no matter how great his aptitude was, he wouldn't be able to accomplish much in a mere two months.


Nevertheless, once this thought entered their minds, several people in the hall started applauding.


"Thank you, everyone."


Ye Xuan bowed his head slightly.


As his gaze swept through the Combat Hall, he discovered that the hall was immense. It was almost like an indoor stadium.


There were three arenas in the hall.


At present, there were more than twenty people in front of each arena.


And there were people sparring with each other in each arena…


Controlling their beasts and fighting together with them.


It wasn't until Nong Lejia spoke that the battle between these Beast Tamers gradually came to a halt.


In addition to these people, there were around seven or eight middle-aged people in the hall.


Judging by the looks of these middle-aged people, they were probably the tutors and assistants of the Beast Taming Class.


At that moment, Nong Lejia urged beside him, "Go on. Go get yourself acquainted with them." Then, he whispered, "Of course, it doesn't really matter if you don't."


"Miss Lin should be arriving in a short while. You're different from them. In the next two months, you'll be cultivating alone under Miss Lin's guidance."


Ye Xuan, who was about to walk toward the nearest ring, was slightly startled when he heard this.


Lin Shiru had told him that she would stay in Yunhai City over the next month to guide him in his training.


However, was it possible that his special training would already begin on the first day he arrived at the Beast Taming Class?


"Oh."


At that moment, Nong Lejia suddenly raised his voice and said to the students in the hall, "Ye Xuan has already contracted his own beast. Tomorrow, he will enter the Amber Secret Realm with all of you. So, everyone, do make sure that you take care of him."


"He'll enter the Amber Secret Realm with us tomorrow?"


When the other students heard this, there was a moment of silence in the hall.


But then, a young man in front of the arena closest to Ye Xuan broke the silence and greeted him with a smile. "Hello, Ye Xuan. I'm Cao Qing, Top-Level Beast Tamer Apprentice. A total of 55 people from our class will enter the Amber Secret Realm tomorrow in three groups. I am the leader of one of the groups. So do you wanna join us?"


55 people?


Three groups?


Ye Xuan was startled.


Lin Shiru and Nong Lejia hadn't told him any of this.


"Inside the secret realm, the distribution of our team's gains is based on contribution, but there's one thing that I hope you can understand. If we encounter the four-star Amber Dragon in the Amber Secret Realm, it's mine."


"Of course, if I get that four-star Amber Dragon, I'll give out 50,000 dollars to everyone on the team as compensation."


Ye Xuan slightly knitted his eyebrows.


Before this, he had still been full of confidence and was looking forward to entering the Amber Secret Realm to see if he could obtain the four-star Amber Dragon.


It wasn't until now that he learned how difficult that would be.


Could he compete against three groups composed of dozens of students from the Beast Taming Class all by himself?


Thinking about this, even his heart turned cold.


If he were powerful, none of those would be a problem, but he was someone who had just awakened his Beast Taming aptitude.


Nevertheless, he wouldn't know if he could get the beast unless he tried.


With that thought in mind, with a bitter smile, Ye Xuan shook his head in response to Cao Qing's invitation and said, "Forget it. I've only just awakened, and the beast I contracted with is just this tiny little thing. I think I'll pass, so as not to burden your group."


As he said this, he pointed toward Lil wan, who was on his shoulder.


"This is…an Elf? Your beast is an Elf?" Cao Qing asked, an odd look appearing on his face.


At the same time, two people who were making their way from the other two rings also stopped in their tracks one after another when they heard what Ye Xuan said.


"Uhm…okay then. In that case, I wish you a fruitful trip into the Amber Secret Realm tomorrow." Cao Qing nodded to Ye Xuan. He didn't say anything else.


However, he was speechless for a moment. He couldn't figure out why anyone in this world would form a contract with an Elf and make it their beast.


Considering elves' low potential, wouldn't it be difficult for a Beast Tamer to assist one in reaching the Dark Iron Level?
