When the surging cold breath ceased and the temperature gradually returned to normal, the courtyard fell into a long silence.

Pairs of eyes stared blankly at the petite figure.
“Awoo!”
Cola widened its eyes, suddenly realizing that it seemed to have saved a very terrifying little fellow.
Oh no, its position as the second-in-command of the farm was in danger!
“Ga ga…”
Runrun Duck stared blankly at the Frostwind Cow, a bold idea emerging in its mind—if it could help freeze Mingyu Lake, wouldn't it be able to catch fish at will?
Instantly, Runrun Duck's eyes gleamed.
“Dee dee…”
Dee Dee Flying Cat shivered from the cold, clinging tightly to the Meteor Horned Beast, trying to get as much warmth as possible.
Only the Meteor Horned Beast was unaffected, its thick fur allowing it to ignore the sudden drop in temperature.
“Ka.”
Iron Head Kid's eyes flickered as he carefully sized up the Frostwind Cow before slowly nodding.
With this little fellow, the farm should be safer.
“Yinyin~”
Snowflakes fell on the Twins Flower Concubine's head, but melted instantly. She reached out and touched it, immediately waving her hand.
Want to play, want to play!
“Chirp!”
Fire Seed's eyes were deep, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
In that instant, it had actually felt a trace of threat.
“No way, right?”
Chen Yuan was still somewhat dazed, his mouth slightly open, his face full of disbelief.
A pet cub that hadn't been born for long had actually erupted with second-order strength in an instant?
This wasn't 【Cold Breath】, it was clearly 【Winter Storm】!
Chen Weiyi didn't know the exact strength displayed by the Frostwind Cow, but seeing Chen Yuan's surprised expression, the frown on his face relaxed into a smile: “See, I told you that you're not actually stupid.”
Chen Yuan's mouth twitched, secretly complaining: “Grandpa, this isn't a question of being stupid or not.”
“This Frostwind Cow seems a bit outrageous.”
But the Frostwind Cow didn't respond, it just stood quietly in place.
More accurately, it collapsed to the ground.
Chen Yuan was the first to notice something was wrong. He strode forward, and after squatting down to take a look, he realized that the Frostwind Cow had fallen into a coma.
His expression froze: “Overdrafted?”
It was the first time he had encountered a situation where a pet fainted after using a single skill. Could it be exhausted?
Could it be that the outrageously powerful skill just now had exhausted all the energy accumulated in its body?
Various doubts surfaced in his mind. Chen Yuan waved his hand to disperse the curious little ones, then carried the Frostwind Cow into the hall to let it rest.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Yuan examined its data panel. The only anomaly was that the proficiency of 【Cold Breath】 was pitifully low, only .
For a skill with this proficiency to be able to unleash such a strong power, tell me if that makes sense?
This Frostwind Cow has a big secret. Chen Yuan decided to tell his younger brother everything that had just happened.
Chen Wenhao quickly replied “Received,” but there was no further news.
Afterwards, Chen Yuan noticed a message mentioning him in the group chat labeled 【Fruit Factory】. He clicked on it to take a look:
Chen Yuan directly asked: “Which professor are you coming with?”
Jiang Wenning quickly replied: “Professor Song Ren.”
Good, it really is the same group.
This Professor Song Ren was Chen Wenhao's teacher during his master's and doctoral studies, a big name in the field of biology in China.
After the spiritual energy recovery, Professor Song Ren joined the headquarters of the Donghuang Beast Taming Academy and founded a laboratory related to transcendent creatures. He is currently leading Chen Wenhao in conducting several experiments.
“My brother will also be coming, he's Professor Song Ren's student,” Chen Yuan sent the message.
Jiang Wenning said in surprise: “Why haven't I heard you mention this before?”
“He's relatively low-key, usually either in the library or in the lab,” Chen Yuan replied.
Jiang Wenning nodded thoughtfully: “That's true, the big shots in research usually live in seclusion.”
Yun Province,
LS City,
Having just finished physical training, Li Junyue replied to the message his wife sent in the morning while panting heavily.
He suddenly saw several messages from the 【Fruit Factory】 group chat, but didn't join in, instead muttering softly: “This should be our first offline meeting.”
Although there were only two people, it represented great significance.
But he suddenly remembered that Chen Yuan and Chang Yuhuan had already met offline, so he threw these messy thoughts to the back of his mind.
He was already thirty years old, why was he still paying attention to these boring things.
“Hey, Brother Li, what do you think is the point of Captain Su having us train our physical fitness all day long? In this day and age, isn't it all about pet battles?” The young man next to him complained while rubbing his shoulders.
Li Junyue's expression remained unchanged, his tone calm: “Maybe it's so we can escape faster when we encounter danger.”
The young man curled his lips: “What danger could we in the Bureau of Investigation encounter?”
“The most outstanding Beast Tamers are all in the Bureau of Investigation, those dangers will only steer clear of us from afar when they see us.”
The next moment, a rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed outside the door, followed by the door being pushed open from the outside, revealing an ordinary figure.
Su Quan's gaze fell on the young man, his expressionless face saying: “If everyone thought like you, then our Bureau of Investigation would be finished.”
After a moment of pause, he stared at the young man, his tone calm: “Moreover, how many Beast Tamers have you met that you dare say the most outstanding Beast Tamers are all in the Bureau of Investigation.”
The young man subconsciously said: “Isn't that so?”
Whether it was the Beast Tamers from the Beast Taming Academy or the Beast Tamers from the Bureau of Investigation, he had had in-depth contact with both, and thus understood the gap between the two very well.
If it came to ordinary sparring, formal battles, the academy-派 Beast Tamers had a higher win rate; if it came to wild combat, the Bureau of Investigation's Beast Tamers were evenly matched with the former.
Within five minutes, the Bureau of Investigation's Beast Tamers had defeated the academy-派 Beast Tamers five times.
Thinking of this, the young man looked at Su Quan, flattering him: “Just like Captain Su, you can't find an opponent in the entire LS City.”
“Even looking at the outstanding Beast Tamers of the entire Donghuang, there are at most those who are on par with you, but you definitely can't find anyone who can easily defeat you.”
However, upon hearing these words, Su Quan's eyes narrowed, his expression changed slightly, and he uttered a cold sentence: “Two hundred push-ups, start now.”
“I…” The young man's face turned pale in an instant. He tried to say something, his lips moving, but he met a pair of extremely calm eyes, and immediately obediently lay on the ground.
These people belonged to the Seventh Brigade of the Bureau of Investigation, totaling about a hundred people, further subdivided into multiple positions. He and Li Junyue both belonged to combat positions, and in the future would follow Su Quan to carry out tasks and face danger.
Everyone felt a deep awe for this ordinary-looking man in front of them.
The young man was different from Li Junyue. He had entered through the Beast Taming Academy selection, and at first didn't understand that unconditionally obeying orders was an iron rule.
But after being taught a lesson by Su Quan a few times, the young man no longer argued or spoke nonsense.
Obey, obey, and still fucking obey.
Li Junyue saw Su Quan turn to leave and suddenly asked, "Captain, when can we carry out our mission?"
Su Quan stopped, looking at Li Junyue with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "What? Can't wait?"
Li Junyue didn't confirm or deny it: "My children are still young, and if I have to be away from home for several days, I need to prepare in advance."
"Then we'll carry out the mission when your training is qualified." After saying this, Su Quan's figure disappeared.
The young man finished two hundred push-ups with a wheeze, and climbed up from the ground panting, his eyes still full of doubt: "Did I say something to offend Team Leader Su?"
Xuanhe Village.
When Han Lie Niu woke up, it was already two hours later.
Chen Yuan asked directly: "Can you still use the 'Frost Breath' like before?"
"Moo."
The moment Han Lie Niu opened its mouth, Chen Yuan hurriedly dodged, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see snowflakes flying or the biting cold of the 'Frost Breath'.
"Moo."
Without exception, it failed!
Han Lie Niu instantly lowered its head, looking dejected.
Could it still not do it?
After several more attempts, confirming that Han Lie Niu could not use 'Frost Breath', Chen Yuan rested his chin in his hand and fell into thought: "Could there be a cooldown time?"
On second thought, it seemed reasonable that there was a cooldown time; it would be unreasonable to be able to use such an outrageous skill continuously.
You should know that when Han Lie Niu used [Frost Breath] before, the range of influence was particularly large, almost covering half the farm and changing the weather in a short period of time.
If he could use this skill at a critical moment, Chen Yuan believed that it would definitely play a crucial role.
"It seems that there are indeed many special things about Han Lie Niu's body."
"I'll leave it to my younger brother to study carefully."
Unconsciously, Chen Yuan left more and more research content for Chen Wenhao, and he would be busy for at least a long time.
However, as a researcher, Chen Wenhao didn't deserve to have a full head of hair in the first place.
Chen Yuan stared straight at Han Lie Niu, the undisguised aggressive gaze scaring the latter into retreating repeatedly, and then hiding behind Chen Weiyi.
"Ga ga."
Runrun Duck swaggered to Han Lie Niu's side, and then pulled it to a corner, whispering something.
Chen Yuan didn't know what they were talking about, but when he saw Runrun Duck's excited eyes, he knew it wasn't a good thing.
Temporarily resolving the matter of Han Lie Niu not learning the skill, Chen Yuan contacted Zhou Xu and asked him to help exchange Kongming Fruits for the resources needed for Runrun Duck and Tietou Wa to advance.
Seven Kongming Fruits were more than enough to exchange for these resources.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Zhou Xu agreed readily, and then said, "By the way, on the first of next month, Professor Song Ren from the Beast Taming Academy headquarters will lead a team to Qinling to conduct an in-depth investigation of that mysterious forest."
"If you have time then, can you take them into the mountains?"
After a pause, he added: "This research activity is led by the Beast Tamer Association, and you can get a generous contribution value for completing it."
A bright smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face: "I'm also quite curious about that forest, so I'll be happy to help."
"There's one more thing." Zhou Xu flipped through the notebook recording the meeting's content and said, "The Qin Province will hold the first Beast Tamer Competition next month. The competition system is similar to the Taibai Cup. Do you want to participate?"
Chen Yuan shook his head decisively: "I won't participate."
"What about the exhibition match?" Zhou Xu continued to ask.
Chen Yuan thought for a while, then shook his head: "Forget about the exhibition match too, I should be very busy next month."
Participating in the Taibai Cup's exhibition match was enough to be in the limelight. For a while after the exhibition match ended, strangers lingered at the entrance of the farm every day. If he participated in the Qin Province's exhibition match again, the farm would probably become a major attraction in Xuanhe Village.
He wouldn't be able to live a leisurely and peaceful life.
Zhou Xu said: "Participating in the Qin Province's exhibition match also gives contribution value."
Chen Yuan's pupils shrank, but he still gritted his teeth and refused: "Forget it."
Zhou Xu didn't persuade him any further, but just said: "If you change your mind later, you can contact me at any time."
After a pause, he added: "The advisors and outstanding Beast Tamers from various associations will participate in this competition."
"It should be very lively then."
"Zhuang Jianbai has already posted on social media: Aiming for the championship."
Chen Yuan smiled: "I wish him success."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan saw the old man talking to Han Lie Niu, walked over slowly, and asked directly: "Grandpa, do you want to contract with this little guy?"
Chen Yuan's straightforward question made Chen Weiyi stunned. He looked at Han Lie Niu, who was lying beside his legs, and a trace of contemplation flashed in his slightly weathered eyes.
He thought for a long time before asking in an uncertain tone: "If I contract with it, will it put a burden on you?"
He was old, and although his physical strength and energy had recovered after becoming a Beast Tamer, he was not a young person full of vitality like Chen Yuan after all.
Seriously studying cultivation methods, working hard to train pet beast skills, and even growing together with pet beasts, these were all far away from him.
Chen Weiyi only hoped to find a pet beast as old as himself to bask in the sun with him and stroll around the village when he had nothing to do.
Han Lie Niu had just been born not long ago, and belonged to two extremes with himself in his twilight years.
If Han Lie Niu wanted to become stronger, wouldn't it also involve his grandson's energy?
Chen Weiyi didn't want Chen Yuan to be more tired.
Chen Yuan understood Chen Weiyi's concerns, and he grinned: "Grandpa, you're actually thinking too much."
"As long as this little guy is willing, and you are willing, that's fine."
After a pause, he smiled and said: "Besides, we already have so many pet beasts on the farm, it doesn't matter if there's one or two more."
Chen Yuan's words finally dispelled the concerns in Chen Weiyi's heart. He no longer hesitated and looked down at Han Lie Niu: "Then what are your thoughts?"
He had watched this Han Lie Niu grow up slowly, watched it stay alone in the corner, watched it be rejected by the entire group, and inevitably felt a sense of compassion.
"Moo."
Han Lie Niu clung to Chen Weiyi, using its actions to show its thoughts.
A moment later, Chen Weiyi successfully contracted Han Lie Niu and became a formal Beast Tamer.
"Grandpa, next you just need to go to the association for certification."
"But for this kind of trivial matter, I can just tell Zhou Xu."
Half an hour later, Chen Weiyi's identity information was approved and he successfully became an association-certified senior beginner Beast Tamer.
Since then, Chen Yuan, Chen Wenhao, and Chen Weiyi have all become Beast Tamers, truly becoming a family of three Beast Tamers.
It's just that Chen Yuan is busy patrolling the mountains and protecting the forests, Chen Wenhao's goal is to become a transcendent creature researcher, and Chen Weiyi just wants to spend a leisurely life with Han Lie Niu.
This family can't even put together a proper Beast Tamer.
