39: Chapter 39 Lord S-Rank! Radiant Horned Dragon
Everyone outside the cultivation room was stunned.
Although the Battle Beast inside looked strange, connecting the dots, it wasn't hard to guess it was the evolved form of the Golden Horned Small Dragon.
Supervisor Song was moved to tears, murmuring, "Great, my job is saved..."
Wang Mengting stared fixedly at the Battle Beast inside. The thread-like contract connection became thick at this moment, and powerful heartbeats seemed to transmit through space.
"Xiao, Xiaolong..." Wang Mengting called out.
Inside, the Battle Beast shaking its scales heard the voice. Its ears twitched first, then stood up, and its eyes rolled around.
This behavior was clearly Xiaolong!
"It really is Xiaolong! Xiaolong!" Wang Mengting pushed open the ajar door of the cultivation room, tears streaming down her face.
The Battle Beast also noticed her. With an "Awoo" cry, it extinguished its flames and pounced over. Its body, over two meters long, knocked Wang Mengting down as it excitedly licked her face.
In the past, Wang Mengting would have slapped its head and scolded it for making her face dirty again, but at this moment she didn't care. She burst into tears and wailed while hugging the Battle Beast.
This frightened the Battle Beast, which let out comforting whimpers. These sounds didn't stop Wang Mengting's crying; instead, she cried even harder.
Seeing this, the others didn't disturb them and just watched quietly.
Only from time to time, their eyes turned to Li Yu, filled with shock.
A treatment even Professor Li couldn't handle, he actually successfully cultivated it!
Zhang Lan looked at the scene of weeping with joy, a smile similar to the others on her face, but her eyes were somewhat displeased.
She was about to go in to comfort Wang Mengting when a fat figure bumped into her, making her stumble, and rushed into the cultivation room.
It was Supervisor Song.
"Hahaha~ Li Yu, good job! I knew you could do it, hahaha..." Supervisor Song patted Li Yu's arm, so excited he almost called him 'father'.
Li Yu smiled and said, "It wasn't easy for you either, successfully withstanding the fire."
"Eh! That's nothing. Back in the day, I went in and out seven times under the sharp tongues of a dozen old shrews. When have I ever mentioned those glorious achievements to you? Today's scene is just a small matter." Supervisor Song looked proud.
Li Yu smiled and didn't expose him.
Wang Mengting and the Battle Beast hugged each other, crying and laughing for a while. Suddenly, several shadows loomed over them, and Wang Mengting and the Battle Beast looked up.
It was those Breeders.
One by one, the elderly Breeders grabbed paws, tails, and heads, lifting the heavy Battle Beast like a New Year's pig toward a machine.
"Hey!"
"Don't be nervous, it's fine."
"Dad..."
Wang Mengting called out.
Wang Jianguo smiled and helped her up from the ground. His gaze shifted between the Battle Beast being forced to test its data and the calm Li Yu, filled with emotion.
As the Director of the Cultivation Department, there wasn't a single breeding genius or Breeding Master in the city he didn't know. But he had never seen any Breeding Master produce s-rank new species consecutively, nor had he seen any genius or rising star reach Li Yu's level.
Such a person, as long as he doesn't die, will at least become a Master in the future!
Thinking this, he walked over with his daughter.
"Young man."
Li Yu turned back upon hearing this and smiled, "Hello, Director Wang."
"Good, good," Director Wang nodded and sighed, "I didn't expect someone so young to have such cultivation skills. Your teacher must also be a Breeding Master, right?"
Li Yu shook his head.
"I graduated from a technical school. My teacher was just an ordinary Junior Cultivator. As for the cultivation level you mentioned, I just figured it out myself."
"Technical school? Figured... figured it out yourself?" Wang Jianguo was stunned. He thought with this level of skill, Li Yu must have come from some prestigious university.
It turns out he was from a technical school?
"Then... you really haven't taken the certification exam yet?" Wang Jianguo asked again.
"Not yet," Li Yu said. "I wanted to sign up yesterday, but the registration for the most recent session has already passed, so I have to wait for the next one."
Wang Jianguo was overjoyed upon hearing this.
The results of the previous few cultivation assessments weren't very good, and he was having a headache over the lack of talent. He hadn't expected to encounter Li Yu.
He immediately made an agreement with Li Yu, opening up a slot for him and urging him to take the exam in three days.
What could Li Yu do about it?
Of course, it was exactly what he wanted.
Don't be fooled by Li Yu's daily cultivation lately; those orders were actually obtained from Song Jiang, and once they were finished, there would be no more.
After that, he would be like other Interns, studying for half the day and being an assistant for the other half.
Even if Supervisor Song knew Li Yu's cultivation level, he couldn't just give orders to an Intern like Li Yu to handle; after all, the other Breeders also needed to make money.
Distributing the orders was like taking the food right out of the other Breeders' mouths.
But if he took the exam.
With a junior certificate and his previous cultivation results, he could definitely become a full employee ahead of schedule. At that time, he could truly cultivate whenever he wanted and earn money whenever he wanted.
Special Assistant Yang had Supervisor Song remind him to take the exam as soon as possible partly for this reason.
"Um..."
Suddenly, Wang Mengting spoke, her voice still a bit raspy, her red and swollen eyes filled with gratitude.
"Thank you! Xiaolong was chosen for me by my grandmother and has been with me for many years. Thank you for saving it."
With that, Wang Mengting bowed.
This daughter of the Director's family didn't have the superiority of the wealthy families Li Yu had expected. Instead, because of the emotional roller coaster she had just experienced, she gave off a very quiet and fragile feeling.
Like a magnolia flower that had weathered a rainstorm.
Li Yu smiled and said, "You're welcome. Supervisor Song is a good guy, and I couldn't just watch him take the blame with me."
A flash of confusion crossed Wang Mengting's eyes, but she still nodded.
Wang Jianguo, on the other hand, looked at Li Yu thoughtfully.
Suddenly, a rapid beeping sound broke the silence.
During their testing, the Breeders seemed to have discovered something shocking. Immediately, they all turned their eyes toward the large screen on the side.
Li Yu and the Wang father and daughter also looked over.
Others outside the cultivation room also looked over.
"Hiss—"
The sound of collective gasps rang out.
On the screen, information about this unknown Battle Beast was displayed.
[Beast Name]: Blazing Horned Dragon (Sub)
[Beast Quality]: Lord (S)
[Beast Level]: Bronze Level 9
[Beast Attribute]: Light, Fire
[Beast Talents]: Light Flame Breath, Light Fusion, Light Flame Angry Horn, Horned Dragon Roar
[Beast Description]: A mysterious dragon species woven from light and fire. It can easily merge into light and shadow, passing through anywhere light can pass.
"S... S-rank..."
"It really is S-rank! That fat guy wasn't lying, another S-rank!"
"..."
The cultivation room, which should have been serious and cold, erupted in an uproar. Shocked shouts and cries intertwined, forming a heatwave that pulled everyone back to their senses.
"I just searched. There's no Blazing Horned Dragon in the Battle Beast database. That means... a new species!" one Breeder said excitedly.
"Not only that, this is a dual-attribute Sub-dragon. Its potential cannot be underestimated. If a higher-dimensional evolution can be found, it might even be enough to overturn the status of those high-quality Battle Beasts," another Breeder shouted.
Several Breeders were incoherent with excitement, the sound of their pens scribbling never stopping.
Wang Mengting covered her mouth in shock, her eyes looking at Li Yu with deep admiration.
"So, so amazing..."
