160: Gengjin White Tiger

Inside the Beast Pet shop.

Wang Chen reluctantly dealt with the enthusiastic “fans.”

He hadn't expected to become so famous even before the National Freshman Competition had ended.

However…

Compared to him, Ice Purity, who had stolen the show today, was the most famous one.

It had been less than half a day since the second round match against Binghuang University ended, and merchandise related to Ice Purity was already out.

Several Young Misses working as sales clerks in the shop were holding cartoon versions of Ice Purity dolls, asking him for autographs.

“I wonder if the merchant selling these dolls would pay me royalties if I went directly to them?”

After fulfilling the requests of several Young Misses, Wang Chen thought to himself with a mischievous glint in his mind.

As he pondered, a calm voice suddenly echoed through the shop.

“Alright, your objective has been achieved, so please don't trouble our esteemed guest any further!”

As his voice fell, a well-dressed, amiable middle-aged man walked down from upstairs with a smile on his face.

“My name is Huang Yuan, and I am the Manager of this shop. It is truly an honor for our humble establishment to have Wang Chen here today.”

After excusing the sales clerks from the hall, Manager Huang politely addressed Wang Chen.

“Manager Huang, you are too kind!”

Hearing this, Wang Chen nodded politely.

“Wang Chen, you must be here today to prepare for after you become a Rank 3 Professional.”

“Why don't we go upstairs to discuss? Our humble shop recently acquired a few Beast Pets of excellent quality, and perhaps there might be one that catches your eye.”

Huang Yuan said with a spring in his step and a very enthusiastic tone.

“Oh?”

Hearing his words, Wang Chen couldn't help but be surprised, his expression showing a hint of astonishment.

Since the National Freshman Competition began, his situation was no longer a secret to some people.

As a Giant-Beast Master, the Beast Pets he could contract could only be giant beasts.

For Huang Yuan to say this now, it must mean they have “stock” in their shop!

“Manager Huang, could it be that your esteemed shop currently sells giant beasts?”

Following behind Huang Yuan, Wang Chen asked curiously.

“Wang Chen, you jest. How could a precious item like a giant beast be something my small shop could possess?”

“They are merely a few Beast Pets with insufficient potential, but with the possibility of advancing to giant beasts.”

Hearing this, Huang Yuan shook his head and chuckled.

Giant beasts were not common goods; their value was incredibly high, with the lowest rank being Divine Beast level, and only a handful existing on the entire Blue Star.

Otherwise, the Giant-Beast Master, which was considered a powerful special Professional, would not be in its current state.

Hearing his words, Wang Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, the two arrived at the VIP area on the second floor and took their seats on the sofas.

Not long after, staff members brought up several Beast cages.

One wolf, one tiger, one bear.

“Wang Chen, these are the three Beast Pets treasured by our shop.”

“Howling Moon Wolf, Giant Tooth Tiger, and Earth Battle Bear.”

Huang Yuan politely pointed at the three Beast Pets, introducing them one by one to Wang Chen.

“These three Beast Pets are all Origin Beast level Beast Pets, and among Origin Beasts, they are top-tier, possessing combat power comparable to a Seven-Turn Professional once they reach adulthood.”

“Moreover, their Bloodlines are extraordinary, with the potential to advance to Divine Beasts.”

Huang Yuan smiled, with a hint of undetectable pride in his tone.

Seeing this, Wang Chen nodded.

Origin Beasts with the potential to advance to Divine Beasts could be said to be very precious.

The fact that Huang Yuan could produce three at once indicated that the power behind this Beast Pet shop was quite formidable.

“Wang Chen, if you are satisfied with any of these three Beast Pets, I can make the decision to give them to you directly.”

Seeing Wang Chen's attention drawn, Huang Yuan slowly said at this moment.

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Wang Chen's eyes moved, and his expression showed some surprise.

Origin Beast level Beast Pets, each one's price was in the hundreds of millions.

Not to mention, these three Beast Pets had the potential to advance to Divine Beast level, their value could even increase tenfold.

Huang Yuan, willing to give away such precious items, must have a significant motive.

“There's no need for that. If there's one among these three Beast Pets that I need, I can purchase it directly.”

Wang Chen shook his head, politely declining Huang Yuan.

Then, he focused his gaze on the three Beast Pets and unhesitatingly used the Bloodline Identification Technique.

[Howling Moon Wolf (Origin Beast), Final Evolution State: Sky-Devouring Demonic Wolf (Divine Beast, Legendary).]

[Earth Battle Bear (Origin Beast), Final Evolution State: Titan Battle Bear (Divine Beast, Monarch Level).]

…

Seeing the information feedback from the Bloodline Identification Technique, Wang Chen's eyes narrowed, and his expression showed some shock.

What Huang Yuan said was true; both the Howling Moon Wolf and the Earth Battle Bear had the potential to advance to Divine Beasts.

And especially the Earth Battle Bear among them, once it successfully advanced, it would be a very powerful existence among Divine Beasts.

Presumably, Huang Yuan must have sought out an authoritative appraisal agency before to assess the potential of these Beast Pets.

However…

While the Howling Moon Wolf and the Earth Battle Bear had the potential to advance to Divine Beasts, they weren't enough to make Wang Chen's expression so shocked at this moment.

What truly surprised him was…

[Giant Tooth Tiger (Origin Beast), Final Evolution State: Gengjin White Tiger (Ancestral Divine Beast).]

Another Beast Pet with the potential to evolve into an Ancestral Divine Beast.

“It truly came without any effort!”

After reading the information about the Giant Tooth Tiger, Wang Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart.

A new Ancestral Divine Beast. After he reached Rank 3, his strength would see a significant increase again.

However…

Currently, there was only one Giant Tooth Tiger. To use the Divine Skill Beast Pet Fusion, there was still a lack.

“What? Wang Chen, are you interested in the Giant Tooth Tiger?”

Beside him, seeing Wang Chen's gaze lingering on the Giant Tooth Tiger, Huang Yuan stepped forward and asked with a smile.

“That's right!”

Hearing this, Wang Chen nodded, feigning regret in his tone, saying:

“This Giant Tooth Tiger indeed meets my requirements, but having only one is a bit of a burden.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Huang Yuan was a bit puzzled.

But before he could ask, Wang Chen continued:

“The potential of this Giant Tooth Tiger does meet my requirements, but it is after all only a Origin Beast right now. It would probably take a lot of effort to cultivate it to the point where it can be contracted.”

As he spoke, Wang Chen paused and asked:

“Manager Huang, do you happen to have any other Giant Tooth Tigers for sale here?”

Hearing his words, Huang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

“This Giant Tooth Tiger was acquired by our humble shop from the wilderness. If you need more, I can send people to help search for them.”

“Then I'll trouble Manager Huang!”

Wang Chen nodded politely: “Then I'll reserve this Giant Tooth Tiger. Afterwards, I'll trouble Manager Huang to help me search for at least three more. You can send them all to Blazing Dragon University at that time.”

“No problem!”

Hearing Wang Chen's words, the smile on Huang Yuan's face grew even wider.

One Giant Tooth Tiger alone sold for a billion gold coins; three would be three billion gold coins.

Such a large order was rare, even in the capital city where every inch of land was precious.
