14: Chapter 14: Just a useless person who relies on luck?

"You want to eat more?"

Looking at the Fire Dragon Fish asking for fire spirit stones,

Jiang Yun looked incredulous.

"Little guy, you just finished digesting over a hundred fire spirit stones, and now you want to keep eating. Can you really handle it?"

Over a hundred fire spirit stones.

If it were any other Vicious Beast, they probably would have burst from overeating.

Even if they barely managed to digest it, it would take a long time to absorb the remaining energy. Yet, his Fire Dragon Fish had digested it all in such a short time... and it even wanted to continue eating now... Jiang Yun didn't mind the fire spirit stones, as they were meant to be entirely used on the Fire Dragon Fish anyway.

He was just worried if this fellow would suffer from indigestion if it kept eating continuously.

What if it fell into a deep sleep and couldn't wake up... The Fire Dragon Fish didn't seem to care.

It pointed at its open mouth and nodded repeatedly.

Clearly, it was telling Jiang Yun it could still eat.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun thought for a moment and then compromised.

His Water Dragon Fish was different from ordinary Vicious Beasts, so perhaps a larger appetite was normal.

However, just to be safe,

Jiang Yun summoned the Fire Dragon Fish out of the Beast Taming Space and instructed, "Since you want to eat more, I'll give them to you. But do what you can; you absolutely must not eat too much."

After Jiang Yun spoke, dozens of fire spirit stones appeared in his hand.

Seeing the fire spirit stones in Jiang Yun's hand, the Water Dragon Fish's eyes sparkled, and it nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Yun also painfully fed the fire spirit stones in his hand to the Fire Dragon Fish one by one.

Eating these was clearly not enough.

Jiang Yun didn't hesitate either, continuing to take out the remaining fire spirit stones to feed it.

He didn't stop until all the fire spirit stones had been fed to the Fire Dragon Fish.

The Fire Dragon Fish, however, still held its mouth open unsatisfactorily.

It seemed to want Jiang Yun to keep feeding it... "Damn! You money-burning glutton, there are no more! You've already eaten all three hundred fire spirit stones!"

Three hundred fire spirit stones!

That's worth 300,000 federal currency!

They were gone before they could even get warm in his hands... Looking at the still-unsatisfied Fire Dragon Fish, Jiang Yun was extremely speechless.

"I must have fed it over a hundred and eighty fire spirit stones just now! Yet this fellow didn't fall into a deep sleep immediately. Its appetite has definitely grown again. I expect the resources it needs each time will only increase in the future..."

"I'm afraid the school's monthly subsidy won't even be enough to fill the gaps between its teeth. I have to find a way to get more resources myself..."

Jiang Yun felt very helpless.

While his Fire Dragon Fish possessed powerful Aptitude, it also seemed to require more Spirit Stones for cultivation and consumption.

To the side,

hearing Jiang Yun say there were no more fire spirit stones,

the Fire Dragon Fish immediately closed its mouth.

It actually showed a look of disappointment.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun was even more speechless.

He muttered,

"Heartless fellow."

He then tossed the Fire Dragon Fish back into the Beast Taming Space.

After returning to the Beast Taming Space, the Fire Dragon Fish began to sleep again.

Just like before, the massive Spiritual Qi within the Beast Taming Space converged from all directions.

It helped the Fire Dragon Fish digest and absorb the fire spirit stones it had just eaten.

"This fellow ate so many fire spirit stones this time; it should be able to steadily advance by one tier."

Looking at the Fire Dragon Fish in the Beast Taming Space,

Jiang Yun estimated in his heart.

Previously, the Fire Dragon Fish could advance to Black Iron Second Tier after eating over a hundred stones. This time, it had eaten a full hundred and eighty fire spirit stones.

It should at least advance by one tier, right?

Jiang Yun checked the basic information of the Fire Dragon Fish,

then he rested peacefully... The next day.

Early in the morning, his younger sister's excited voice came from outside the door.

"Brother! Get up quickly!"

Jiang Yunyun ran into Jiang Yun's room and forcibly pulled him out of bed.

Both of them were now Core Students of the school.

It was just the right time to go and report together.

Becoming Core Students of the school made Jiang Yunyun very excited and expectant.

Jiang Yun saw that the time was about right.

He freshened up.

After having breakfast, he and his sister headed to school together.

The teaching area for Core Students was at the back of the school.

Compared to the ordinary teaching area, the Core Student teaching area had fewer students, but it occupied two-thirds of the school's total area.

Facilities and venues for beast taming training and improvement were also fully equipped.

This showed how much importance the academy placed on Core Students.

Jiang Yun and his sister arrived at the Core Student registration desk. After registering their information, they were taken into the Core Student Training Ground by the teacher at the desk.

At this moment, about a dozen classmates were already standing together in a neat line on the Training Ground. A mentor was standing in front of the students, counting the number of people.

"Coach Lin!"

The teacher from the registration desk called out and led Jiang Yun and Jiang Yunyun forward.

"These are the two newly promoted Core Students of the academy. They have already registered."

As the registration teacher spoke, they handed the two files in their hand to the mentor known as Coach Lin.

The mentor glanced at Jiang Yun and his sister, then opened their files to take a look.

After confirming everything was correct, he nodded. "Mhm! No problem. Thank you for your trouble; you can go now!"

"Alright, I'll leave these two new students to you then!"

The registration teacher smiled, took the files handed over by Coach Lin, and left.

Coach Lin's gaze, however, fell upon Jiang Yun.

"In the path of beast taming Cultivate, luck is also a part of one's strength. It is not easy to be exceptionally admitted as a Core Student of the academy. Student Jiang, although you don't have an Innate Talent Skill, as long as you are willing to Cultivate hard, even a Common Beast Tamer can have their day."

Clearly, the news of Jiang Yun contracting a Gold Rank Aptitude beast yesterday had already spread throughout the academy.

Jiang Yun wasn't too surprised by Coach Lin's words.

He nodded and responded, "I understand!"

"Mhm! Very good, neither arrogant nor rash. Both of you, join the line. Rest for a moment where you are; today's training will begin shortly."

Seeing Jiang Yun's steady demeanor, Coach Lin couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and he even began to feel a bit of admiration in his heart.

After all, a Gold Rank Aptitude beast would be enough to cause a sensation throughout the entire City C. This sixteen or seventeen-year-old student in front of him was actually able to maintain such a calm state of mind at all times.

It was hard for him not to praise and admire him.

Hearing Coach Lin's words, the Jiang siblings entered the queue. The other Core Students all looked at them curiously.

"Tch! Just a trash who relies on luck!"

"Yeah! I don't know what kind of dumb luck this kid had to contract such a high-quality beast. Otherwise, how could a trash who doesn't even have an Innate Talent Skill be worthy of becoming a Core Student like us?"

"Actually, it's not even that high a quality. Compared to our Young Master Xiao's Gold Rank Peak, it's simply weak. Besides, our Young Master Xiao doesn't rely on luck but on a solid background. Contracting a Gold Rank Aptitude beast is easy for our Young Master Xiao."

"Not something some trash can compare to."

...Not long after the two joined the line, several unfriendly remarks reached the ears of Jiang Yun and Jiang Yunyun, sounding particularly harsh...
