186: New World

Under the twilight, the entire World, as far as the eye could see, was lush and green.

"Howl!"

An Iron-Plumed Eagle with a wingspan of over ten meters swept across the top of the dense forest, carrying a powerful pressure.

And among the higher clouds, a colossal Sky City was bathed in the beautiful afterglow!

'Sky Vault Main City.'

This was a survival stronghold for Humans, situated above the ground safety zones.

District 99, Hospital.

The young man lay in the ward, his eyes vacant as he stared at the ceiling.

The light from the energy-saving lamp was slightly dazzling, yet it was difficult for him to regain his senses.

"Mother, did I disappoint you and Dad?" The young man's voice was extremely weak.

Beside the Hospital bed, the richly adorned woman's eyes were red-rimmed: "Don't talk nonsense, no matter what you become, you are our pride."

"But I'm ruined." The young man's emotions became a little agitated: "My beast space is destroyed, I can no longer become a Beast Master!"

As proud as he was before, he was just as despairing now.

"There will be a way, there will be a way to make you recover." The woman forced back her tears.

Then, she took out her telephone: "Your Dad called, I'll let him talk to you for a bit."

As she spoke, the woman handed the telephone, which was on a call, to the young man's ear.

"Dad?"

"Useless!"

On the telephone, the A Man's voice held little emotion.

Just two words caused Gu Yan's eyes to dim.

He wasn't surprised by his Father's words, because it was the truth.

In this era where Beast Masters were revered, not being able to become a Beast Master was equivalent to being useless!

The woman holding the telephone beside him became anxious: "Gu Shanhe, how can you talk like that?!"

"Did you eat shit today and forget to wipe your mouth? Do you know how much our son has suffered? You..."

"Beep beep beep..."

Before the woman could continue, the telephone hung up.

"This garbage, how did I go blind and marry him back then." The woman looked at the disconnected telephone, choked with anger.

On the other end of the telephone.

A Middle-aged A Man in a suit sat in the Boss's chair, his eyes closed in exhaustion.

"Bang!" A suddenly Wrathful fist slammed onto the table, sending cracks spreading out.

"Xiao He!"

"Chairman." As the Middle-aged A Man's voice fell, a thin young man walked into the office.

"Investigate the young man named Su Wei in the high school Beast Master league." A strong killing intent flashed in Gu Shanhe's eyes: "He used such a vicious hand against my son in the match, he must pay the price!"

"Yes." Xiao He nodded.

On this World, the population of Humans was roughly one billion.

Sky Vault Main City, situated above the major safety zones, its residents all possessed certain capabilities.

And Gu Shanhe was able to establish himself firmly in Sky Vault Main City and develop his company into a first-tier team.

His power was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao He showed no surprise at Gu Shanhe's words.

Wealth, in itself, represented power!

Not long after Xiao He left the office, the telephone in front of Gu Shanhe rang.

He glanced at the incoming call.

His expression slightly sobered.

"Hello, Principal Li."

"Gu Shanhe, right? Your son, Gu Yan, has been expelled from the School after unanimous discussion by our School."

On the other end of the telephone, the Principal of Main City First High School's tone was only indifferent.

"Expelled? Why?" Gu Shanhe furrowed his brow.

"Our School doesn't need useless people." Principal Li said casually.

Gu Shanhe's eyes were cold: "Has your esteemed School really thought this through?"

"Haha, what? Still want to threaten me?" On the other end of the telephone, Principal Li, who was lying on a chair, showed no fear: "I admit that Gu Yan has always been a top Student, and I even planned to treat him as a trump card player for this year's Beastmaster Exam."

"Unfortunately, his beast space is now shattered, and he was beaten like that by a student from a lower-ranked class. Our School has no face to keep him!"

Hearing this, Gu Shanhe's hand tightened slightly, and the screen shattered a bit.

He only knew that this guy was kicking him while he was down!

...

...

Hospital.

"Your Dad called, I'll go answer it."

The woman patted Gu Yan's shoulder comfortingly.

The single VIP ward, under the dim setting sun, revealed a touch of warm beauty.

Gu Yan on the Hospital bed, his eyes vacant, his thoughts returned to yesterday.

As the only son of the Gu Family, he had shown outstanding Beast Master talent since he was a child.

At the young age of 18, he had surpassed the Beast Master Realm and reached the level of a Beast Master, and had even contracted an A-grade Deep Pool Ice Python.

Looking at the entire younger generation, he, Gu Yan, was undoubtedly a member of the top tier!

But just yesterday, in a league match between various Schools, he, as a seeded player, lost, losing to a good-for-nothing!

Hundreds of thousands of spectators were stunned, and Gu Yan found it even harder to accept.

Clearly, that Su Wei was only a Intermediate Beast Master, while he, as a Primary Beast Master, could completely overwhelm him!

But for some unknown reason, during the match, his body suddenly experienced a strong discomfort, causing him to lose!

Of course, losing a match, Gu Yan was at most unwilling.

The key was that after this battle, the contracted beast that fought alongside him disappeared, and along with its destruction, his beast space was also destroyed!

Every time he thought of this, Gu Yan felt a wave of despair.

He struggled to get up from the bed.

Outside the window.

The slowly moving Sky Vault Main City constantly presented different sky landscapes.

Seeing that there was less than half a month until the global National College Entrance Examination Beast Master competition began.

Gu Yan had waited 18 years for this, but now he didn't even have the qualification to participate.

How ridiculous!

"Click~" At this moment, the ward door opened.

Gu Yan paused slightly, thinking his Mother had returned.

However, as he turned his head, his eyes narrowed.

This was A Man wearing a jacket and a baseball cap, his face hidden in the shadows.

"It's you, Su Wei!"

Seeing the visitor, Gu Yan's emotions fluctuated intensely.

The A Man opposite closed the door with a sneer: "It seems our Genius still has quite a deep impression of me, this good-for-nothing."

"What are you here for?!" Gu Yan clenched his fists.

The young man took off his cap: "Gu, the great Genius, do distinguished people forget things easily?"

"Before the match yesterday, didn't we have a bet?"

"If I lost, I would apologize for offending you before, and if you lost, you must break off your engagement with Duanmu Mingyue."

"Now, you should fulfill the bet, right?"

These words caused Gu Yan's brows to furrow tightly: "That's just your side of the story, I never paid attention to you from beginning to end."

"Hahaha, that's right." Su Wei's expression was exaggerated: "How high and mighty you are, you never even looked at me directly once."

"But now, you've become useless!"

"Are you here to humiliate me?" The word "useless" was like salt sprinkled on a wound, making it difficult for Gu Yan to remain calm.

"How could I have such low-level tastes." Su Wei sneered: "I knew you wouldn't agree to the bet, so I came to tell you another piece of news, good news."

As he spoke, the young man walked to Gu Yan's Hospital bed and leaned down slightly: "I can let you regain your beast space and make you a Beast Master again."

"Really?!" Gu Yan trembled slightly.

"Absolutely true, you just need to pay a small price."

"What price?"

Although the guy in front of him had single-handedly ruined him, hope now rested on him, which made Gu Yan struggle a bit.

"Don't worry, there are only two conditions."

Su Wei had a hint of lazy triumph from his scheme succeeding.

"The first condition is to break off your engagement with Duanmu Mingyue and let her throw herself into my arms."

"The second condition is to become my dog and lead the Gu Group to submit to me."

"As long as you can do these two things, I can restore you immediately."

"Impossible!" Gu Yan's angry tone held a firm resolve.

While Su Wei was surprised, his expression turned cold.

"You better think carefully, this might be your last chance."

Gu Yan shook his head seriously: "You are too greedy!"

"If I were in your situation, I would definitely agree, what a pity." The situation was unexpected, which made Su Wei a little displeased.

With a wave of his hand.

Beside him, a giant python suffused with an aura of extreme ice swam out from the beast space!

"Deep Pool Ice Python!" The moment he saw this contracted beast, Gu Yan's eyes tightened.

This was clearly the A-grade contracted beast that had accompanied him for several years!

"How could you do that, strip away my contracted beast and take it for yourself?!"

"A dying person doesn't need to know too much." The meaning in Su Wei's tone was very clear.

Since they couldn't agree, he would kill Gu Yan!

Once he died, his fiancée...

Thinking of that pure and seductive beauty, Su Wei licked the corner of his mouth.

"You want to kill me?" Gu Yan understood this guy's intention.

The other party shook his head: "It's the Deep Pool Ice Python, your contracted beast wants to kill you."

"Why?" Gu Yan clenched his fists: "On the field, you won, and I didn't rely on my Family to make things difficult for you."

"Now, on the contrary, you are being aggressive and want to kill me!"

"Because you have too many good things." Su Wei really liked seeing people in despair: "Money, power, beauties, resources, contracted beasts, you had all these things from the moment you were born!"

"And I, I used up everything just to get onto Sky Vault Main City, it's not fair! I clearly worked so hard, I'm clearly so much more outstanding than you, yet no one saw it! On the contrary, you, clearly so useless, are sought after by countless people!"

Su Wei's voice carried a strong hatred.

"You still don't know, right? The reason you lost yesterday was because you were poisoned by me before the match!"

"Look, I even have such methods, I see much further than you!"

"Poisoned?!" Hearing this sentence, Gu Yan's Wrath flared.

But it was completely useless.

And at this moment, the Deep Pool Ice Python, carrying suffocating pressure, enveloped Gu Yan's entire body!

"Am I going to die..." Gu Yan suddenly felt unwilling.

He could die in a tide of beasts, he could die on a battlefield of slaughter, but he was unwilling to die at the hands of this despicable villain.

"Ding~ Ye Tian brand, Divine Beast Contract System activated, does the Host choose to bind?"

The voice that suddenly appeared in his mind made Gu Yan freeze.

"Bind..." Subconsciously, the words came out.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the Host for successful binding, specifically gifting the Host one 'Feigned Death Card'."
