218: Chapter 218 An Even More Chaotic Situation

Thinking of this, Chen Yi went along with Black Rose's words.

He stopped insisting, waved his hand, and said flatly, "Alright then, be careful. We'll continue eating!"

After saying that, he really sat back down and continued enjoying the unfinished breakfast, as if he had just been polite earlier.

Hearing this, Black Rose was speechless to the extreme!

She thought Chen Yi had finally come to his senses, but she didn't expect him to still have that same expression—

She was stifled to death inside, but the act had to go on. Accompanied by the two enthusiastic young men, she reluctantly left Baiwei Hall.

Sure enough, about half an hour later.

Heavy news came from within the Beast Tamer Association and was quickly ignited across the entire network through official channels and social media.

[Shocking! An SS-rank Bloodline Spirit Beast has appeared in Yanjing!]

[The newly awakened bloodline has been identified as—the Rose Flower Dragon!]

[True form—an Eastern Dragon entwined with Black Roses! Infinite potential!]

Below was a photo of Black Rose's exquisite but slightly weak and excited side profile, along with a partially pixelated test report where the SS rating was clearly visible!

Instantly, almost all of the top ten spots on the trending search list were strongly covered by this news!

Throughout the Dragon Kingdom, whether they were Beast Tamers or ordinary people, everyone fell into shock and frenzy!

"SS-rank? And it's a Dragon-type! Oh my god!"

"Another peerless genius has been born!"

"A black Eastern Dragon? This true form is just too cool and beautiful!"

"Our Dragon Kingdom is about to add another top-tier powerhouse of the future!"

Lei Han, who had been waiting for the competition to start.

When he saw this news, he almost spat a mouthful of old blood onto the projection screen.

"Argh! If I had known her bloodline potential was so terrifying, I would have pursued her that night even if I had to be shamelessly persistent or go bankrupt! An SS-rank Dragon-type Contracted Spirit Beast! A leap to the heavens in one step! What a loss! A massive loss!"

For a time, almost all the notable Beast Tamer families, major forces, and even the military and research institutes sent representatives with generous terms to flock to the Beast Tamer Association.

They issued extremely favorable contract invitations to Black Rose, and the scene almost spiraled out of control.

However, facing this feverish pursuit that would make any newcomer spirit beast dizzy.

Black Rose behaved exceptionally devoted.

She issued a statement through the association's official channels with a clear attitude.

[Thank you all for your love! But in this life, I, Black Rose, only wish to form a contract with Mr. Chen Yi. If he refuses, I would rather remain uncontracted for life!]

As soon as this statement came out, the whole internet was in an uproar again!

Wails were heard everywhere!

"How is it Chen Yi again?"

"Lord Yi Chen! I beg you to take her! Don't let such a treasure go to waste!"

"Did this Chen Yi save the galaxy in his past life? Yun Zhiyao, Su Taotao, and now an SS-rank Dragon Girl! Is he even leaving any path for us to live?"

"I'm dying of envy! Why are the Spirit Beast Girls Chen Yi contracts both beautiful and strong? I could only contract a tank, and my ribs were broken from being crushed last night—"

However, just as this heated discussion reached its peak, an even more heavyweight existence spoke up.

Gu Fan, one of the only two Beast Tamers in the Dragon Kingdom with an SSS-Rank Talent, who had been training in the western borders of the Dragon Kingdom for years, officially released a notice through military channels.

[I am Gu Fan. I will return to Yanjing in three days. I sincerely invite Miss Black Rose for a chat and hope to meet her then!]

There was no aggressive recruitment, only the appreciation and invitation of a powerhouse, but the weight was as heavy as Mount Tai!

The entire network completely boiled over!

[Gu Fan VS Chen Yi! The Battle of the Century!]

[The strongest love rival appears!]

[The Girl of Destiny? Double SSS-Rank Beast Tamers compete for the SS-rank Dragon Girl!]

[What exactly is Chen Yi's talent level?]

Various topics swept across all platforms with explosive speed!

Chen Yi and Black Rose learned of this news almost simultaneously through different channels.

This time, their reactions were surprisingly consistent.

They both rolled their eyes at the same time, feeling speechless: "What is this guy doing joining in on the fun?"

The current situation was already quite complicated.

And now you, a thirty-five-year-old uncle, are coming to join the fray?

No, nobody even asked for you?

But the melee was about to begin.

Neither of them had time to pay attention to this sudden SSS-Rank Beast Tamer for the time being.

Black Rose needed to maintain her persona and deal with various forces in the early stages;

While Chen Yi had to focus on the upcoming competition. Everything would wait until three days later!

---

Time quickly reached 11 AM.

All the Beast Tamers who had qualified for advancement and their Contracted Spirit Beasts began to gather in the designated massive square.

The air was filled with tension, excitement, and the mixed scents of various spirit beasts.

Many participants had already gathered in small groups, whispering strategies, clearly planning to team up in the early stages of the melee to clear out those who were alone or weaker to ensure their rankings.

Chen Yi saw Gao Wenyu, Leng Wuhen, and Lin Xiao forming a team.

These three were all top experts from groups one and two. Normally, each of them had the strength to compete for the top ten individually.

Now that they had joined forces, their goal was self-evident—they were likely targeting Chen Yi.

Chen Yi also saw Luo Yuqing following behind Leng Wuhen.

Her gaze pierced through the crowd and collided fiercely with Luo Shiyin's beside Chen Yi. Invisible sparks flew, and a thick smell of gunpowder filled the air.

The grudge between these former sisters, now rivals, was destined to be settled in this melee.

As for Chen Yi, he naturally had no intention of teaming up with anyone!

He alone was the strongest army.

However, what surprised him slightly was that Bai Song also chose to go solo.

Even stranger, when Bai Song passed by not far from him with Red Snake, he actually looked straight ahead without any emotional fluctuation on his face, as if he didn't know Chen Yi at all.

And Red Snake beside him only gave Chen Yi a faint glance with those lava-like vertical pupils and nodded slightly.

It was considered a greeting, but other than that, there was no other expression.

"What kind of act is this now?"

Chen Yi was a bit thrown off by this unusual calm. "Could it be that he really was beaten into submission? Or maybe his personality changed? Or... is this the calm before the storm?"

Just then, an extremely exaggerated commotion came from the edge of the square.

The Yun Family's support group had pulled up a huge banner.

It read—Go Yun Family's Pearl Yun Zhiyao! Yi Chen Team will surely win!

Hundreds of Yun Family disciples wearing uniform clothing also shouted in unison, their voices loud, accompanied by gongs and drums—

Seeing this, Yun Zhiyao, who was surrounded in the middle, was so embarrassed that her toes were digging into the ground. She wished she could find a crack in the floor to crawl into, repeatedly casting apologetic looks at Chen Yi and the others.

This is too much, isn't it?
