Chapter 102 - How Does It Feel To Be In The Limelight?
n
n
n
n“Ye Xuan, during your training with Miss Lin, have you broken into Dark Iron level?”
nNong Lejia was commanding his Northern Nether Flying Fish and venturing towards Ye Xuan’s house.
n
n
nIn the meanwhile, he grabbed his phone and called Ye Xuan.
n“Yeah, what’s up, Brother Lejia?”
nHearing the slight desperation in Nong Lejia’s voice through the phone, Ye Xuan asked in puzzlement.
n“What is the state of your current ability? Did you contract any new beasts? Or in other words, can you defeat regular Beast Tamers in peak Dark Iron?”
n
n
nNong Lejia questioned once again on the phone.
n“Has the friendly competition between Yunhai City’s Beast Taming Class and Yunzhong City’s Beast Taming Class commenced?”
nRemembering that, Ye Xuan said after some thought, “With my current ability, dealing with regular peak Dark Iron Beast Tamers should be no problem.”
n“Are you for real?”
n
n
nNong Lejia was extremely surprised.
nHe did not expect that Ye Xuan would gain such an amount of confidence over a short period of time.
n“What beast have you contracted after you advance into Dark Iron level?”
nHe was inquisitive.
nHe knew that for Ye Xuan to be so confident.
nIt must have come from the beast which he contracted after he advanced into Dark Iron level.
n
n
n“Never mind.”
nBut as soon as he hurled out the question, he remembered something.
nHe flipped over his phone and had a glance.
nHe realized that the class teacher of their Beast Taming Class, Wu Fuyun, was calling him at this very moment.
nNong Lejia knitted his eyebrows, “I’m not gonna ask you that. Please wait for me at home. I’m coming to pick you up right away. I still have something to do. I’m gonna hang up now.”
n“Brother Lejia, since you’re in such a hurry, I think I’ll head to the Beast Taming Class myself right now. I’ll meet you halfway.”
nYe Xuan uttered a sentence and hung up the call.
n“Mr. Wu, are you looking for me?”
n
n
nAs soon as he ended the call with Ye Xuan, Nong Lejia immediately answered Wu Fuyun’s call.
n“Nong Lejia, the friendly competition between both cities’ Beast Taming Class is about to start. Where did you go?”
nWu Fuyun asked anxiously on the phone.
n“Ye Xuan is back. I’m on my way to pick him up.”
nNong Lejia said.
n“Ye Xuan?”
nWu Fuyun was surprised.
nLittle did he expected that Nong Lejia was on his way to pick up Ye Xuan.
n“Make haste then. The competition wouldn’t take too long. If Ye Xuan arrives too late, the competition may be over already.”
nThinking, Wu Fuyun urged on the phone.
n“I got it!”
nNong Lejia nodded, “And Mr. Wu, if possible, stall for some time. The longer, the better.”
n“I called Ye Xuan just now. He had already become a Dark Iron Beast Tamer. He also told me that he’s confident in winning against regular Peak Dark Iron Beast Tamers.”
n
n
n“Win against peak Dark Iron Beast Tamers? How is that even possible?”
nWu Fuyun was startled as he said with disbelief.
nBut immediately after, he said, “Alright then, get here as soon as possible. I’ll drag as much time for him as I can.”
nThe purpose of this friendly competition between Yunhai City and Yunzhong City was to let students from both cities that were partaking in the College Entrance Examination to adapt to the tense atmosphere in advance before the official exam.
nBut if Yunhai City were to lose too badly in this friendly competition, it would still be very embarrassing nonetheless.
nNot only for Wu Fuyun.
nIt would be the same for Nong Lejia, who was born in Yunhai City.
nHence, if it’s possible, even they would like to partake in the competition.
n“Dad, mom.”
nAt home, after Ye Xuan put down his phone, he immediately walked out of his room.
n“Mr. Nong called me just now. I have to make a trip to the Beast Taming Class. Go and do your own stuff. I’ll have the food after I come back. Please don’t finish all the food.”
nAs he spoke, he hurriedly changed his clothes,
nWalked out of the room,
nAnd with Lil Wan’s help,
nFlew straight in the direction of the Beast Taming Class.
nYe Xuan felt that using this friendly competition between Yunhai City and Yunzhong City to mark himself a perfect full stop before leaving Yunhai City was a pretty good thing.
nWith that in mind, carried by Lil Wan and flying at full speed, it did not take long for him to spot Nong Lejia, who was coming from afar.
nWhen he saw Nong Lejia,
nEspecially the Northern Nether Flying Fish he was riding on, Ye Xuan was surprised.
nHe did not expect Nong Lejia to have such a flying-type beast in his possession.
nNorthern Nether Flying Fish: ☆☆☆
nLevel: Silver (High)
nAbility: Wind Manipulation, Water Manipulation, Condensed Energy Blade
nSeeing the Northern Nether Flying Fish, Ye Xuan prompted his mind and swiftly had its attributes appraised.
nNow, he had developed the habit of using his Beast Editor at any time.
n“Those attributes are pretty nice.”
nYe Xuan thought inwardly after he was done looking at the Northern Nether Flying Fish’s attributes.
nBeing a three-star grade Silver level beast would imply that it had a chance to grow into a Platinum level beast.
nFor a Beast Tamer with an ordinary aptitude, acquiring such a beast was already a pretty good thing.
nAs for the four-star and five-star Silver level beasts, for Beast Tamers with an ordinary aptitude, even if they could get their hands on one, it was still uncertain about whether they could form a contract with them successfully.
nYe Xuan already knew that Nong Lejia’s Beast Taming aptness was mediocre.
n“Yo, big guy, you really became a Dark Iron Beast Tamer!”
nSeeing Ye Xuan, a smile immediately cropped up on Nong Lejia’s face.
n“Of course.”
nYe Xuan smiled as well, “I’m your student, after all, Brother Lejia.”
n“Hahaha.”
nNong Lejia laughed, “Alright enough, no bootlicking. We’re in a hurry. I’ll let my Northern Nether Flying Fish fly us to the Beast Taming Class.”
n“Alright.”
nYe Xuan answered.
nThen, he asked Lil Wan to take him to the back of the Northern Nether Flying Fish.
n“Whoosh!”
nAt the very next moment, the Northern Nether Flying Fish fluttered its thin wings, stirred up a gale, and dashed right towards the Beast Taming Class.
n“Ye Xuan, I think it is time you tell me what beast you have contracted after you advance into Dark Iron level.”
nNong Lejia could not help but said as they were rushing towards the Beast Taming Class.
n“And where did you get this hat from? Why does it look so strange? It’s so hard, and the patterns on it are even moving. Is this some new tech by some company or something? Does this hat of yours have some special functionalities?”
nHearing him, Ye Xuan adjusted the hat on his head with a strange expression.
nNo matter from who’s perspective, the Tidal Treasure Snail was too much like an excellent hat.
n“If you wanna know, Brother Lejia, wait for a while longer. You’ll know when we reach the Beast Taming Class.”
n…
nYunhai City, Beast Taming Class.
nA tall and burly young man wearing Yunzhong City’s Beast Taming Class uniform was standing on the ring.
nLooking at the students from Yunhai City’s Beast Taming Class from afar.
nAnd intently commanding his beast, a Four-armed Vajra Ape,
nTo battle against them.
nHis Four-armed Vajra Ape was immensely high in power level.
nIts four arms were like four metal clubs.
nEvery time they fell, a gust of violent wind would be incited.
nOn the other hand, the student from Yunhai City’s Beast Taming Class, at his opponent, who was in a pitched battle against him, controlled a Stone Mammoth and a Shadow Hunting Spider fight against him.
nHowever, even when his two beasts were attacking in concert, he was no match for this student from Yunzhong City.
n“Well, this certainly sucks. The gap between Yunhai City and us is too big. This friendly competition isn’t worth our efforts at all.”
nBeneath the ring, some students from Yunzhong City gossiped quietly.
n“You talk as if you’re perfect. It’s only because Gu Luo is too powerful. If it weren’t for him, we’d probably score a tie against these Beast Tamers from Yunhai City.”
n“And I heard that Jiangzhou University’s specially enrolled student living in Yunhai City is absent today.”
n“If not, I really wonder what the outcome of this friendly competition would be.”
nBut immediately, someone among Yunzhong City’s students logically analyzed.
n“I heard about it too. I remember that the person’s name is Ye Xuan.”
nHearing him, someone immediately said while shaking his head, “But I heard that this guy had just awakened to his Beast Taming Aptitude not long ago. The reason he was able to become Jiangzhou University’s specially enrolled student is just because of his great aptness level.”
n“Let alone going up against Gu Luo. I think he might not even be able to defeat us.”
n“Gu Luo is already a peak Dark Iron Beast Tamer. Besides, of his two beasts, one of them is three-star Dark Iron, while the other is four-star Dark Iron.”
n“And these two beasts are both in peak Dark Iron level.”
n“With such power levels, Ye Xuan would probably have to train for a year or so after he goes to Jiangzhou University to be able to even go up against him.”
n“But at that time, I think Gu Luo would’ve already become a Bronze level, Beast Tamer.”
n“Urgh, my stomach hurts.”
nWhen that person talked, a Beast Tamer from Yunzhong City held his stomach and ran out, “Enjoy the match halls. Gotta go do some private business.”
n“Wang Bin, are you alright? How many times have you gone to the toilet already?”
nSomeone from behind shouted.
n“It’s not like I want this to happen. But I might have truly been terrified today. My stomach is seriously embarrassing me.”
nThe young man who was running out said with a helpless face.
n“Tsk, you think we’ll believe in you just because you said so?” Hearing him, everyone else scorned, “If it’s an adult Beast Tamer, we might have believed in you.”
n“But what did you say? Someone almost the same age as us in Yunhai City and is also a Dark Iron level himself killed a Bronze level, Beast Tamer? How is that even possible?”
n“Forget it if you refuse to believe in me. I’m sure that videos will surface on the internet very soon. When that happens, you’ll know that I’m speaking the truth.”
nThe young man shouted, and unable to hold on any longer, he slipped out of the hall.
n“That guy, his story is entirely baseless. What is the purpose of him telling such a lie? A Dark Iron level Beast Tamer killing a Bronze level. How would such a prodigy even appear in a place like Yunhai City?”
nBeneath the ring, few students shook their heads.
n“Mr. Wu.”
nAt the same time, the class teacher of Yunzhong City’s Beast Taming Class walked to Wu Fuyun and said, “So, anyone else from your class wanna have a match?”
nIn the meanwhile, above the ring.
nGuo Luo already used one single beast of his own,
nTo force the two beasts of a Dark Iron level student of Yunhai City off the ring.
nHearing the class teacher’s question of Yunzhong City’s Beast Taming Class, Wu Fuyun’s expression slightly dimmed.
nBut he still replied, “A moment, please. We have another student. He’ll be arriving soon.”
n“Oh?”
nWhen the class teacher of Yunzhong City’s Beast Taming Class heard him, he revealed a hint of surprise on his face.
nHe did not expect that given how badly was Yunhai City losing, Wu Fuyun was still going to send someone into the ring.
nWhoosh!
nRight at this moment, outside the Combat Hall, Nong Lejia finally arrived with Ye Xuan.
nSubsequently, the two entered the Combat Hall without delay.
nBesides the ring, when Wu Fuyun saw Nong Lejia and Ye Xuan, his eyes immediately lit up. Pointing at Ye Xuan, he said, “Mr. Gu, that student who I mentioned has arrived, should I send him into the ring right now?”
n“He’s here, huh?”
nWhen the teacher by the surname Gu heard him, he promptly turned to look at Ye Xuan out of curiosity.
nBut as it was not appropriate for him to check him out with his Mind Energy, he only took a glance or two at Ye Xuan. However, he could not notice anything different about him.
n“Alright, then. Since that’s the case, let this student of yours go against Gu Luo as the final battle.”
nThinking, the teacher with the surname Gu opened his mouth and said.
n“No problem.”
nHearing him, Wu Fuyun immediately strode to Ye Xuan and gave him a few words.
n“One three-star beast and one four-star beast, both of which are peak Dark Iron level, huh?”
nAfter listening to Wu Fuyun, Ye Xuan raised his head and glanced at the ring.
nHe let Lil Wan take himself and flew into the ring.
n“Present your name.”
nSeeing Ye Xuan coming into the ring, Gu Luo asked indifferently.
nDespite having gone through a few matches in succession, his exhaustion was minimal.
nThe same would go to his beast.
nWhen he saw Ye Xuan coming into the ring at this moment, he did not pay him much attention.
n“Ye Xuan.”
nYe Xuan told him his name.
n“Ye Xuan?”
nWhen Gu Luo heard him, he was slightly surprised, “Are you the one in Yunhai City who Jiangzhou University specially enrols?”
n“Yes, that’s me.” Ye Xuan nodded.
n“Haha, very well then. Let me see how powerful you are.”
nHearing Ye Xuan’s affirmative reply, Gu Luo finally revealed a bit of excitement on his face.
nCompeting against regular students was for him, no pressure at all.
nBut Ye Xuan was different.
nAlthough Ye Xuan had just only become a Beast Tamer not long ago, and his powers may not be that strong,
nBut with Ye Xuan identity over there,
nTaking Ye Xuan down within this very ring would feel completely different.
n“Gu Luo, don’t compete against him!”
nBut at this moment, beneath the ring, that young man by the name of Wang Bin, who had just returned from the toilet, stared at Ye Xuan standing at the opposite of Guo Luo within the ring from afar.
nHe felt chills all over his body.
nDriven by a moment of nervousness, he shouted.
nThus attracting the eyes of everyone at present onto himself.
n“What… what have I done?”
nSeeing that everyone was looking at him, Wang Bin immediately flustered.
n
