11: Enter Beast Taming III
Lin Chuan was naturally happy with Qin Yan's plan.
Their agreement was only for the next six months. As long as Lin Chuan entered Beast Taming University, he would be free as a bird.
"Old Qin, I do have something I need help with."
"Tell me," Qin Yan wasn't afraid of trouble; he was only afraid that this kid would have trouble and not come to him.
"I need the flesh and blood of Yao Beasts, or their crystal cores."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Chuan spoke.
"A small matter. What Rank do you need? Very high Ranks might not be available immediately."
"Anything is fine. Monarch Rank is best, but I wouldn't mind Transcendent either."
"Monarch Rank? You're quite ambitious..." After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yan continued, "Given your current strength, consuming the flesh and blood of Advanced Yao Beasts too early isn't a good choice... How about this, I'll come over once a month to deliver potions to you, and I'll bring you an Elite Rank Yao Beast. As for whether it has a crystal core, I can't guarantee that."
"Thank you, Old Qin."
"Haha, it's a small matter. You just focus on your studies and strive to get into a good university. I'll come by regularly to check on you."
"Haha, it's a small matter..."
Amidst their laughter, the giant eagle had already traversed most of District 81.
Lin Chuan looked down, his gaze sweeping over the towering city walls.
Outside the walls, there was first a desolate area, devoid of birds and beasts. Further out, there was a dense, towering forest, stretching like a sea of trees.
The surrounding city was merely an isolated island in this sea of trees.
Faintly, a few beast roars could be heard. Whenever this happened, Lin Chuan felt the muscles on the giant eagle's back tense up, as if it was ready to accelerate at any moment.
"Old Qin, when do you think the Yao Beasts might attack the city again?"
"Who can say? It could happen at any time. I'm sixty-five this year, and I've only experienced six or seven attacks, big and small. On average, it's about once every ten years. The last time was..."
"Eight years ago."
Lin Chuan remembered that the parents of this body had died in that disaster.
As they were about to reach their destination, the two stopped talking... From a distance, Lin Chuan saw the words "Beast Taming Third Middle School" displayed on the top floor of a building.
Qin Yan didn't use the school gate; he had the giant eagle fly directly in front of an office building, then he jumped in with Lin Chuan.
"Holy cow, what a big bird!"
"Girl, mind your language!"
"Holy cow, that bird is really big!"
...Many students saw the Giant Rock Eagle King fly into the campus and scrambled to the windows to watch.
"Old Qin!"
Lan Lan naturally knew Old Qin had arrived immediately. Although she had scolded him countless times, he never learned his lesson.
Qin Yan heard Lan Lan's angry roar, quickly put away the Giant Rock Eagle King, and walked towards her with a smile.
"Lan Lan, you came out to greet me."
"..."
Lin Chuan followed silently behind, not expecting President Qin to have such a side to him.
"I told you last time, if you fly directly into the campus again, don't ever come back."
"Don't be angry, Lan Lan, aren't I rushing to bring you a student?" Saying this, Qin Yan stepped aside. "Come, Lin Chuan, this is your Principal Lan Lan."
"Hello, Principal."
"Hello, student Lin." Lan Lan couldn't lose her temper in front of a student, so she led the two into her office.
"Let's talk about it."
Inside the office, Lan Lan had Lin Chuan sit down, then she sat opposite him.
As for Qin Yan, he stood properly.
"Lan Lan, it's like this. Lin Chuan awakened a bit late and missed the opportunity to attend Beast Taming High School. I see that this child's talent is quite good, so I brought him here for you to teach him well, lest his talent be wasted."
"What about his talent?"
"B-Rank Accelerated Growth, and his Beast is a Defense-type."
Without waiting for Qin Yan to answer, Lin Chuan directly spilled everything.
Qin Yan's mouth twitched, but he said nothing.
"Hmm, not bad. He's already Black Iron Five-Star. In the remaining six months, try to push for Seven-Star, so you can at least get into an ordinary university."
This meant she had accepted Lin Chuan.
B-Rank talent, if he had been under 16, it would have been better; perhaps his achievements would have been even higher. Unfortunately... but if that were the case, it probably wouldn't have been Beast Taming Third Middle School's turn to pick him up.
Thinking this, Lan Lan quickly felt relieved.
"Thank you, Principal," Lin Chuan quickly said, expressing his gratitude.
"However, let me make it clear beforehand. You must have already understood before coming that the educational facilities and resources here are nowhere near as good as First High School or Second High School. I don't care what Old Qin and you discussed, I still hope you think it through carefully. If you want to transfer to another school, you can do so now. I don't want you to regret it after a while."
"I won't, Principal. From now on, I am a Third High School person in life, and a Third High School soul in death. To restore the glory of Third High School, it is our bounden duty!"
Lan Lan: "..."
Qin Yan: "..."
What an honest child!
Lan Lan glanced at Qin Yan, wondering what kind of spell he had cast on this child.
However, she was clearly in a good mood.
Although she didn't know what this child could bring to Third High School, it certainly wouldn't be any worse than it was now.
At least, it was a good omen.
Qin Yan secretly gave Lin Chuan a thumbs up. If he had Lin Chuan's glib tongue back then, that guy wouldn't have had a chance, would he?
As a result, that guy fell early, leaving Lan Lan to guard this broken school for so many years... Nearing noon, Lan Lan led Lin Chuan, familiarizing him with the environment while walking towards the cafeteria. Qin Yan naturally followed to freeload a meal.
This group of three made Lin Chuan seem the most special. There was no helping it; Lin Chuan was the youngest.
Moreover, with the Principal on one side and the seemingly very strong Qin Yan on the other, combined with the giant eagle that had attracted attention at the school earlier, it was hard for Lin Chuan not to be noticed.
"Who's that handsome guy...?"
"The Principal is personally greeting him; could he be some second-generation rich kid...?"
...Along the way, students and teachers constantly greeted Lan Lan, and also snuck glances at Lin Chuan.
Clearly, Lan Lan's usual demeanor was quite tolerant and friendly.
"Oh, right, Old Qin, didn't you say you had a promising talent who was Black Iron Three-Star?"
During lunch, Lan Lan suddenly remembered and asked casually.
"Isn't he right here? It's Lin Chuan. He was Three-Star before, now he's Five-Star."
Qin Yan took a bite of his food and pointed at Lin Chuan.
"I think you're really getting senile!"
Lan Lan playfully cursed him, then didn't press the matter further.
From Black Iron Three-Star to Five-Star in less than a week?
Even a rocket wouldn't be that fast!
Even with an unlimited supply of potions, it would be difficult, not to mention the development of drug resistance and the side effects of overdosing.
Seeing Lan Lan's obvious disbelief, Qin Yan didn't bother to explain.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, his reaction would probably have been similar to Lan Lan's.
Just wait, this kid Lin Chuan will definitely surprise you.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan was Five-Star, so Qin Yan didn't have to waste any more breath trying to persuade Lan Lan to accept him; the arguments he had prepared weren't really needed.
From now on, whether he becomes a Dragon or a worm, it's up to this kid himself.
Qin Yan was very much looking forward to it.
He had a premonition that this would be the most correct thing he had ever done in his life.
