Upon hearing that the Beast Master of the Rank 2 Gale Hound was a forest ranger, Zhuang Jianbai's expression rapidly shifted from astonishment to bewilderment, and then back to a daze.
Didn't the teacher say that the Beast Master was from the Imperial City or the Magic City?
Everyone couldn't suppress their inner surprise and confusion, and they discussed it one after another:
"What the hell? A forest ranger?"
"Impossible, right? Can a forest ranger nurture a pet beast of this level?"
"Anything is possible; don't rush to conclusions."
However, after hearing this, Jiang Yuntao's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly recalled many rumors about the Qinling Mountains. He hesitated and said, "Can we visit this Beast Master?"
Song Guohao also noticed something was wrong at this time. He looked at everyone and cautiously said, "Teacher Jiang, do you have some misunderstanding with Little Chen?"
Jiang Yuntao smiled and concealed Zhuang Jianbai's defeat: "No misunderstanding, I just saw that powerful Rank 2 Gale Hound at the village entrance and became curious about its Beast Master."
Song Guohao nodded slightly, straightened his back involuntarily, and said with pride, "Little Chen is the first Beast Master in our village. He also won the honor of New Era Pioneer. The association even sent someone to deliver a plaque. I didn't expect his Gale Hound to break through to Rank 2."
"New Era Pioneer?" Jiang Yuntao was stunned.
As a lecturer at the Beast Master Academy, he was naturally familiar with this honor, so he became even more curious about this mysterious forest ranger.
However, as students of the combat department, most of them didn't know much about it, so someone asked in confusion, "New Era Pioneer?"
Wang Yuan replied, "I heard from a friend in the research department that only the top 100 Beast Masters who upload the advancement conditions of their pet beasts can receive this honor."
"Hiss." The others gasped.
"Can we visit him?" Jiang Yuntao ignored the students' discussion and asked again.
Song Guohao's face was filled with smiles: "Of course, but I have to call and ask for his opinion first; he may not be in the village right now."
"No problem," Jiang Yuntao nodded.
Afterward, Song Guohao dialed Chen Yuan's number: "Little Chen, are you free now? A teacher from Yunhua Beast Master Academy wants to visit you with some students."
"Brother Song, I'm not in the village," Chen Yuan said, his face full of confusion.
But he suddenly remembered the inexplicable system notification he had heard earlier, so he tentatively asked, "Brother Song, did Coke cause trouble again?"
Brother Song replied with a chuckle, "They said your Gale Hound is very powerful and wanted to visit you, the Beast Master."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, 'As expected.'
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Song, let me explain to this teacher."
"Okay," Song Guohao handed the phone to Jiang Yuntao, reminding him at the same time, "This is Teacher Jiang."
Before Chen Yuan could speak, Jiang Yuntao took the initiative to explain: "Hello, we had a little misunderstanding with your Gale Hound earlier and had a battle. I hope you don't mind."
Chen Yuan certainly didn't mind, after all, Coke had won Source Points for him.
Jiang Yuntao paused slightly, glanced at the time, and then said, "How about this? We will be training in the mountains for two days. If you are free when we come down the mountain, please have a pet beast battle with my student."
"If I have time, maybe," Chen Yuan didn't give a definite answer.
The day after tomorrow is the 30th; he still has to rush to Baokun City and may not have time.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuntao shook hands with Song Guohao and smiled, "Director Song, I'm really sorry to bother you."
"It's nothing," Song Guohao waved his hand.
"Can you tell us more about this Beast Master?" Jiang Yuntao asked.
"Let me tell you, let me tell you," Zhang Hao said excitedly.
He was best at and loved to brag about his buddy.
Every time he saw the other party's admiration and envy, he would feel particularly good.
Even though the object of admiration was not himself, he would feel a strange sense of satisfaction.
"Yuan-ge is the first person in our Xuanhe Village to successfully meditate..."
As soon as he said this, Jiang Yuntao frowned: "With his talent, joining our Beast Master Academy should be easy. Why would he stay here as a forest ranger?"
"Could it be that the guys in the admissions office are not doing their job again?" he secretly guessed.
Zhang Hao grinned: "This is Yuan-ge's own choice; he only hopes to stay in the mountains."
Song Guohao nodded in agreement: "At that time, the association's staff also persuaded him to go to the city, but he refused."
Jiang Yuntao's pupils shrank, and he suddenly realized a very terrible thing: "Do you mean that from the time he became a Beast Master until now, he has not systematically studied relevant Beast Master knowledge?"
Zhang Hao looked puzzled: "Does this thing need to be systematically studied?"
Jiang Yuntao: "..."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
"Without systematically studying relevant knowledge, without a solid family background, completely relying on himself, he has cultivated such a powerful Gale Hound..." Jiang Yuntao first muttered in a low voice, then his eyes lit up, "If this person doesn't join our Beast Master Academy, all the staff in the admissions office should resign and apologize."
Everyone was silent.
Afterward, he turned to look at Zhuang Jianbai and persuaded him: "He can achieve this level without guidance or support. As the most outstanding student in our academy, you should do better."
"A temporary small lead doesn't mean anything."
Zhuang Jianbai let out a long breath. His eyes regained their brilliance, and his gaze became firm: "Teacher, I was wrong."
"I shouldn't be discouraged by a small defeat. He can cultivate his pet beast to this level in the mountains. I should do better in a better environment."
He suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fire: "I will not regard this defeat as a disgrace but as a lesson."
"Next time, next time I will definitely defeat him."
Zhang Hao silently listened to this passage and finally understood the reason for the matter. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "So he was defeated by Coke."
"Even if you win against Coke, there is an even more perverted guy waiting for you."
Even so, seeing these students preparing to leave the office and enter the mountains, he quickly got up, a bright smile on his face: "Do you need riding pet beasts to enter the mountains? Or carrying pet beasts?"
"Recharge your membership now, and you can get a 10% discount!"
"Everyone, please consider it."
Leaving the office, Jiang Yuntao and Zhuang Jianbai walked side by side.
Jiang Yuntao said, "Qinling Mountains contain many precious spiritual plants and many powerful wild pet beasts. Although you are now a mid-level Beastmaster, you will inevitably encounter danger."
"Don't go too deep, don't be too adventurous."
"Remember the outdoor knowledge I taught you, take every wild pet beast seriously, and hone yourselves well."
"When you get down the mountain, first fight this Beastmaster, and then go back to participate in the Taibai Cup in your Baokun City."
"I believe you can win the championship."
Zhuang Jianbai pursed his lips slightly, turned his head to look at Jiang Yuntao, his expression sincere, and said, "Teacher, thank you."
Jiang Yuntao waved his hand: "Why are you thanking your teacher?"
After a moment of pause, he said with emotion: "We teachers can only do our best to guarantee your lower limit, and the upper limit can only depend on yourselves."
In the evening,
Chen Yuan returned home, summoned Cola in front of him, and asked seriously, "Tell me, what have you done again?"
Cola's reaction was not unexpected. Its eyes flickered, and its guilty tail wagged left and right.
"Woof woof woof!"
But Cola quickly reacted, it clearly didn't do anything bad!
It was clearly those guys who provoked it first!
After Cola carefully recounted what happened in the morning, Chen Yuan supported his chin with one hand and pondered, "It seems you really didn't do anything wrong."
Cola only did what every clan leader would do.
Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Cola's eyes lit up, and the frequency of wagging its tail quickly increased.
Right, right, I said I didn't do anything wrong.
However, Chen Yuan considered that more and more Beastmasters were coming to Xuanhe Village, and the Paw Patrol always gathering at the entrance of the village would inevitably scare them, so after pondering for a long time, he said: "Don't just stay at the entrance of the village all day, take your little brothers to wander around in the mountains, and find some spiritual plants along the way."
With Cola's current strength, coupled with a group of little brothers, it is hard to find an opponent in the nearby mountains and forests.
"Woof woof!"
Hearing the master's order, the Paw Patrol leader immediately straightened his back and responded repeatedly.
At this moment, Cola had already imagined the scene of leading a group of little brothers galloping through the mountains and forests.
The Paw Patrol's traces will spread throughout the entire mountain forest.
The night grew deeper,
Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, in a state of meditation.
After the daily greetings, Jiang Wenning took the lead in starting the topic: "Do you have a Beastmaster competition over there?"
"Yes." Li Junyue nodded, "The city held a competition, and the leaders asked us to sign up voluntarily."
Jiang Wenning smiled playfully: "In principle, it's voluntary, but the leaders are the principle."
"Yes, so we all signed up." Li Junyue said.
Chen Yuan continued, "There is also a competition held here, but I didn't participate."
Jiang Wenning said in surprise: "With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to win the championship if you participate, right?"
Chen Yuan explained: "It takes a lot of time, it's too troublesome."
"The Beastmasters over there are really lucky, they lost a championship favorite." Jiang Wenning first sighed, and then complained, "All the combat department students in our academy are participating, plus the powerful Beastmasters in the association, the competition is very fierce."
"I want to try to win a place, preferably to enter the top sixteen."
The headquarters of the Donghuang Beastmaster Academy is located in Modu, where many powerful Beastmasters gather. In terms of competition intensity, it far exceeds the Taibai Cup.
The three of them had a lively discussion about the recent competitions held in various cities. The night outside the window became more and more deep, but the mountains shrouded in the night in the distance were uneasy.
Wang Yuan was panting heavily, while following his pet beast into a cave. When the buzzing sound outside gradually stopped, he finally collapsed on the ground, wiped the sweat from his face, and couldn't help but complain: "I just took some honey, do you have to chase me for so long?"
The accompanying Beastmaster nodded in agreement. While treating the swollen face of his pet beast, he scolded: "This group of servant bees are outrageous, chasing for so long without stopping."
"If Lao Zhuang was here, he could teach them a lesson." Recalling the experience of being stung, Wang Yuan's face was full of grief.
However, when a strange roar that made people palpitate came from outside the cave, the two looked at each other, and immediately stopped talking, letting the thick night engulf them.
After a long time,
peace returned inside and outside the cave. Wang Yuan then cautiously said: "The teacher is right, these Qinling Mountains are really not a place where ordinary Beastmasters can come to practice."
"The wild pet beasts here are much more powerful than those around the city."
At this moment, Zhuang Jianbai was commanding the Winterfang Hound in a fierce battle.
"Roar roar roar!"
The Earth Barbarian Bear pounded its chest and stomped its feet, glaring at the man and dog in front of it, its body rapidly expanding.
After the last painful lesson, the Earth Barbarian Bear didn't want to pay attention to these humans, but it never expected that it wouldn't take the initiative to find trouble, but this human in front of it would take the initiative to come to its door.
Calling it mutual sparring, and then summoning pet beasts without saying a word to launch an attack.
With this thought in mind, the angry Earth Barbarian Bear no longer showed mercy and decided to let this human taste its power.
"Roar roar roar!"
The power of the bear!!!
Seeing the Earth Barbarian Bear's body rapidly growing larger, Zhuang Jianbai's expression was calm: "Don't be afraid, we just need to drag out this period of time."
"Woof!"
The Winterfang Hound maintained a safe distance, its eyes were cold, and its silver-white fluffy tail fell behind it.
After a while,
"Roar roar roar roar!!!"
Seeing the Winterfang Hound lying on the ground, the bear cub hiding in the cave to watch the battle suddenly became excited, waving its short hands non-stop.
Bear Dad is invincible!
"Roar."
Although there were several wounds on its body, the Earth Barbarian Bear glanced contemptuously at the fallen Winterfang Hound, and swaggered back to the cave.
Seeing the Earth Barbarian Bear's figure gradually disappear, Zhuang Jianbai walked to the Winterfang Hound, while treating its injuries, he whispered to himself: "If it were a Gale Hunting Hound facing this situation, what would he do?"
Use its flexible figure to maneuver around it, and then look for flaws to launch a fatal blow.
But even if it is a Gale Hunting Hound, it would be difficult to defeat this Earth Barbarian Bear.
This time, Zhuang Jianbai did not feel frustrated because of the failure. He silently reviewed his mistakes in this battle and deeply remembered them in his mind.
Next time, he will win.
Win against this Earth Barbarian Bear, win against that Gale Hunting Hound.
At this moment, fighting sounds were heard everywhere in the mountains and forests near Xuanhe Village.
Some Beastmasters were running around in a panic under the pursuit of a group of Storm Cloud Warblers; some Beastmasters were fighting fiercely with a Grayfeather Hawk covered in sweat; some Beastmasters provoked the Woodlush Panda and were left in the bamboo forest to help cut down bamboo.
There were even unlucky Beastmasters who encountered the Snowcloud Wolf pack that ravaged the mountains and forests, fleeing everywhere with their companions, but were fortunately rescued by a group of Starlight Deer.
The night was deep, but the story in the mountains had just begun.
