17: Let me touch your tamed beast?
As for Rank, Lin Chuan was not in a hurry to advance too quickly.
Old Hei was currently Five-Star, having already consumed two energy fruits. Lin Chuan estimated that it would take about seven or eight more to go from Five-Star to Six-Star.
Lin Chuan's current stock was barely enough to reach the Peak of Six-Star, and in a few days, he would be able to reach Seven-Star.
This speed was absolutely astonishing.
All things considered, it had only been a little over a week since his Awakening.
Two weeks to go from Awakening to Black Iron Seven-Star? He must be a Yao Beast Reincarnation!
He might even be taken away for dissection and research.
Advancing quickly in the early stages could be explained as exceptional talent and a culmination of effort, which was understandable. But to maintain such speed consistently would be a bit terrifying.
Reaching Six-Star by the end of the month was a must; the rest would depend on the situation.
Anyway, Old Hei's advancement relied entirely on eating fruits and didn't require Lin Chuan to put in effort to Cultivate.
Fortunately, even if Old Qin guessed some things, he didn't do much, and even actively protected Lin Chuan.
After all, they were currently on the same side.
Moreover, Old Qin clearly had a thing for Lan Lan; he was old but his heart wasn't.
As long as Lin Chuan and Lan Lan maintained a good relationship and were valuable to Third High School, he wouldn't fear Old Qin turning hostile.
Besides, Old Qin seemed to have no children, lonely and desolate. Lin Chuan even planned to inherit his legacy!
After a quick meal in the cafeteria, Lin Chuan wasn't in a hurry to go to the classroom and decided to wander around first.
In front were the teaching area and office building, and behind were the dormitories and cafeteria.
Further back was a desolate small mountain.
Beyond the small mountain, less than ten kilometers away, one could directly reach the foot of the city wall.
This 10-kilometer stretch was also known as the city-ring isolation belt and was generally uninhabited.
In case of a Yao Beast attack on the city, this was where the army would be stationed.
If the city wall fell, this place would become a bloody meat grinder.
Looking at it this way, Beast Taming Third Middle School was no different from being stationed on the front lines.
Fortunately, it was peacetime now, and no Yao Beasts would break into the city-ring.
At the foot of the small mountain, what met the eye was a stretch of ruins.
The buildings in front were clearly newly constructed; this was where Third High School's original campus stood.
However, it had long been demolished.
He just didn't know if it was actively demolished or passively rebuilt.
Lin Chuan guessed it was most likely the latter.
On the distant hillside, numerous gravestones could vaguely be seen standing.
The scene spoke for itself.
Lin Chuan had no intention of paying respects to the ancestors and simply felt there was nothing interesting to see here, so he left.
What he most wanted to do now was find two more tamed beasts to fleece.
Old Hei only had 9 skills, which was far from Lin Chuan's small goal and completely insufficient...
"Let me touch your tamed beast..." No, that's too abrupt.
"Do you want to touch my tamed beast? Let's take turns touching each other's..." No, that's too perverted.
"Young man, let's have a fair tamed beast duel!"
"Psycho."
Along the way, Lin Chuan looked at the students coming and going, feeling immense heartache.
"These are all sheep to be fleeced!"
Unfortunately, he couldn't fleece them.
After much thought, it was best to finish touching everyone in Class One first, as proximity grants advantage.
In the afternoon, it shouldn't be boring Cultivation anymore, but tamed beast training.
Lin Chuan was quite looking forward to this...
Training Hall No. 1, this was a venue exclusively for the elite class; other classes could only share the other few halls.
Inside the hall, thirty students stood scattered, awaiting instructions from their homeroom teacher, Du Yong.
"Students, now communicate with the summoning array, summon your respective tamed beasts, in five seconds..."
"Bang!"
Du Yong hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by a "bang."
"What's going on?"
Following the students' gazes, Du Yong felt a headache coming on. Who else could it be but Lin Chuan?
"Teacher, what's wrong? Aren't we supposed to summon tamed beasts?"
"It's nothing. Lin Chuan has already demonstrated. Other students, speed up. You should know that on a real battlefield, Yao Beasts won't wait for you to slowly summon; time is life..."
Du Yong immediately used Lin Chuan as teaching material.
Then, Du Yong changed his tone: "However, besides summoning speed, the landing spot of the tamed beast is also crucial. It's best not to cause too much noise."
Oh, he was using Lin Chuan as a negative example again, which meant his value was being fully utilized.
"Teacher, what if we summon it directly on someone's head? A direct sneak attack, hehehe..."
It was Xu Dazhi who spoke. The little fatty knew how Lin Chuan had smashed Huang Wei's tamed beast and directly applied the knowledge.
"Do you think others are idiots? Won't they run? Besides, how much does your tamed beast weigh? It's more likely you'd smash yourself."
Du Yong didn't indulge the little fatty, firmly putting an end to such unhealthy trends.
"Oh." The little fatty was outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant. "But wasn't that how that blond guy got crushed?"
This remark again caused many students to burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha..."
"Then he's just a pure idiot..."
Immediately, the hall was filled with joyous air.
It was a good thing Huang Wei's tamed beast was injured and didn't have to participate in training, otherwise he would have burrowed into a hole by now.
"If you laugh again, get out."
Helpless, Du Yong had to display his teacher's authority to slightly calm the group of students.
"Alright, those who exceeded five seconds in summoning just now, recall and re-summon. This will be your subject today. In college, achieving three seconds or even instant casting is consideredPassed."
"Other students, train in your respective groups. Those who need to train physical fitness, train physical fitness; those who need to train offense and defense, train offense and defense..."
After giving instructions, Du Yong walked towards Lin Chuan.
Although Du Yong had previously decided not to bother with a transfer student troublemaker like Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan's instant summoning just now had still amazed him.
Such summoning speed was usually only mastered by college students. It seemed this Lin Chuan was indeed a promising talent.
"Lin Chuan? Where is Lin Chuan?"
How did this kid disappear in the blink of an eye?
He looked around. Damn, what was this kid doing running into the group of girls?
Are you here to study, or to pick up girls?
At this moment, Lin Chuan was pestering Ye Yao, wanting to see her tamed beast again.
What had he just seen? A jellyfish floating in the air, flying around Ye Yao.
The scene was incredibly beautiful.
Lin Chuan couldn't resist at the time and planned to sneak over.
Unexpectedly, the jellyfish was very alert and was immediately scared back into its tamed beast space.
Along with it, Ye Yao also looked at Lin Chuan warily, thinking he wanted to do something bad.
In broad daylight, he shouldn't dare, right...
"Lin Chuan, what are you doing?"
Du Yong walked over quickly and asked.
"Uh, I just saw a jellyfish flying in the air, so I came over to take a look."
Lin Chuan stated truthfully.
"Really? I think your true intention isn't the wine, but to see Yaoyao."
Zhang Rong, next to Ye Yao, said fiercely, making Ye Yao blush again.
"Why would I look at her... No, what I mean is, seeing the jellyfish reminded me of the ocean. My childhood wish was to see the legendary ocean. It's said there are many extraordinary creatures in the sea..."
Lin Chuan talked a lot of nonsense and finally said, "Can you let me see it?"
This time, Lin Chuan directly played the sincerity card.
