70: Real Beast Tamers and Fake Beast Tamers

Chapter 70: The True Beast Tamer and the False Beast Tamer

Zhao Zhong quickly operated the Heavenly Eye Great Array, and beautiful spiritual power runes flickered from the Magic Array.

However, after he pressed the array disk several times, he paused slightly.

“Oh?” Zhao Zhong let out an incredulous sound.

“Principal Zhao, what’s wrong?”

Zhao Zhong was a little surprised: “The Heavenly Eye Great Array’s stored recording is broken; it can’t be opened!”

“Perhaps our battle just now was too intense, destroying some of the Great Array’s runes and array patterns.”

Jiang Chen: “...”

Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and he urgently asked, “Can it be repaired?”

Zhao Zhong shook his head: “If other runes of the Heavenly Eye Great Array were damaged, they could be repaired. However, what’s broken now are the Magic Array runes specifically responsible for storing recordings.”

“This also means that when this part of the Magic Array runes is damaged, the recordings it contained are also gone.”

Can I curse?

Jiang Chen felt a bit frantic inside. This... this was too coincidental, wasn’t it?

He subconsciously turned around, wanting to look for a certain graceful figure.

However, before Jiang Chen could turn around, a voice as clear and melodious as a spring suddenly rang out behind him: “Student Jiang Chen, Principal Zhao, what are you two doing?”

The sudden voice startled Jiang Chen!

Jiang Chen quickly turned his head and saw that Jian Qingqiu had arrived behind him at some unknown point. A delicate and beautiful face was less than half a meter from him, and a pair of bright black eyes looked at him with curiosity.

“Cough, cough!”

Jiang Chen, feeling like a fox caught by its tail, was internally panicking, but his expression remained as steady as an old dog.

Jiang Chen forced himself to appear calm and said, “Class Teacher, why are you here? I was just watching the combat video from earlier, reviewing it to gain more combat experience.”

“Is that so?”

Jian Qingqiu naturally extended her fair, lotus-root-like arm and patted Jiang Chen’s forehead, giving him a head pat. She smiled kindly and said, “As expected of Classmate Jiang, so diligent in his studies and so hardworking in his cultivation. He’s a great role model for his classmates!”

“Hmm, Jiang Chen, why are you getting goosebumps all over?”

“N-nothing, it’s just that I just finished a battle, so I’m feeling a little weak right now...” Jiang Chen steadied his slightly trembling legs and said, somewhat dryly.

“If you’re feeling a little weak, then go and rest properly. Don’t wander around anymore, understand?”

“Yes, Class Teacher, I’ll go rest immediately!”

Jiang Chen readily complied, quickly bid farewell to Jian Qingqiu and Zhao Zhong, and returned to his resting seat like lightning.

Then, he focused his gaze on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and began cultivating without saying a word.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Chen’s back was covered in cold sweat at some unknown point!

If it were any other day, if the beautiful and noble Jian Qingqiu suddenly became intimate with him and gave him a head pat, Jiang Chen would be incredibly excited, feeling that he was one step closer to climbing into his Class Teacher’s bed.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen only comprehended a terrifying truth, and his body grew cold inch by inch!

He suddenly realized that if the expert who took action was really Jian Qingqiu, then him going to investigate her identity wouldn’t that be like digging up someone’s ancestral grave—asking for trouble?

A General Rank Beast Tamer with strength above Level Five.

And he was just a Level One Apprentice Beast Tamer.

Needless to say, if Jian Qingqiu was that expert, she could crush him to death with a single finger, then whip his corpse, and whip it again!

Regardless of why the other party hid their identity, or what the reason for hiding their identity was, they certainly had their own reasons.

Him going to investigate the other party, wasn't that asking for trouble?

Could he, a mere Apprentice Beast Tamer, get involved in the affairs of such a prominent figure?

Moreover, the other party had saved Principal Gao and others, which meant the other party had no ill intentions, and even only good intentions.

Under these circumstances, to still investigate the other party's whereabouts was indeed too ungrateful!

Even if he was truly overflowing with curiosity and wanted to investigate... he should do it behind Jian Qingqiu’s back!

In front of the Heavenly Eye Great Array, seeing Jiang Chen suddenly act like a mouse encountering a cat, quickly scurrying back into his hole, Jian Qingqiu nodded with satisfaction, and the smile at the corner of her mouth grew even wider, as radiant as a flower.

This kid is quite perceptive!

... In the corner.

Jiang Chen forcibly recalled the process and details of the battle just now, summarizing them, thereby shifting his focus and no longer thinking about his Class Teacher.

First, from the combat process just now, although Little Nine is only at the Mid-Awakening Stage, her strength is already comparable to a Level Two Elite Level early-stage sea beast.

However, facing Elite Level mid-stage and late-stage, she is still difficult to contend with.

But anything below Elite Level early-stage can only serve as food for Little Nine.

Then, what surprised Jiang Chen the most was that after his first stage of Body Refinement, “Golden Skin,” reached great success, he, this summoner with no power to truss a chicken, also underwent a magnificent transformation!

To be honest, Jiang Chen felt that he was no longer human, but a sea beast in human skin!

In the battle just now, Jiang Chen used his Golden Skin to collide with some pet beasts and sea beasts.

The result was that after Jiang Chen activated his Golden Skin, his physical attributes were completely on par with an ordinary Level Two Elite Level early-stage sea beast!

This made Jiang Chen very happy.

The false Beast Tamer: stands behind the pet beast, strategizing, directing, commanding, planning a thousand miles!

The true Beast Tamer: stands in front of the pet beast, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging, charging!

Who dares to bully my adorable Little Nine? I’ll be the first to smash its dog head!

Of course, while my Body Refinement hasn't reached great success, I still need my Little Nine to protect me first... Ahem!

The strength increase brought by the first stage of Body Refinement was also like a powerful shot in Jiang Chen’s chest, providing him with a great deal of confidence.

Very good, the path of a Body Refiner is very suitable for him!

It can both counteract the side effects of using the sea creature illustration compendium and allow him to possess powerful strength.

A truly excellent Beast Tamer naturally must also possess the ability to bravely face extraordinary creatures himself!

Moreover, because he cultivated the Vajra Body Tempering Art, some of the awkwardness and exaggerated physique brought by Body Refinement can also be avoided.

Jiang Chen can be like a Superman, wearing his underwear outside whenever he wants, exuding an imposing aura and dominating the entire scene.

After familiarizing himself with his strength once more, Jiang Chen pulled out a small notebook, stored in a waterproof bag, from his chest.

The notebook was palm-sized, but Jiang Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw it.

This was his ledger.

When Jiang Chen turned to the latest page of the ledger and saw his remaining balance, Jiang Chen immediately put on a pained expression.

The last line of the ledger read: “Balance: 1078 yuan”!

Looking at this balance, Jiang Chen almost couldn't catch his breath; cultivation was too expensive!
