11: Chapter 11 Charging into Battle
Regardless of whether Mo Yu is strong or not, he can annoy people to death.
With Huang Hao as a cautionary tale, no one challenged him again.
Since Yue Yun was not participating in the opening test, the opening test for Beast Taming Class 1 ended there, and Beast Taming Class 2 followed right after.
Starting from Beast Taming Class 2, the number of challengers increased.
Different Pet Beasts took the stage in turns, and the variety of skills made one's head spin; the atmosphere was noisy and enthusiastic.
The opening test ended in such an atmosphere.
A familiar voice sounded from behind: "Yue Yun, you skipped class the entire afternoon yesterday, didn't you?"
Yue Yun, who was chatting with Xu Qingfang, stiffened.
Pan Xuan reached out and pinched the back of Yue Yun's neck, while his other hand rested on Xu Qingfang's shoulder. He leaned his head out from behind them, looking at them with a menacing expression.
Xu Qingfang was like a quail, not daring to make the slightest movement.
Yue Yun stiffly turned his head to look at the sharp-eyed Pan Xuan and laughed sheepishly: "Teacher, you've misunderstood. I didn't skip class; I just found a place to consolidate yesterday's training."
"Guess whether I believe you?"
Pan Xuan gave a contemptuous smile.
He did not pursue the matter; skipping class was nothing in the Beast Taming Class. As long as you had strength, you could do whatever you wanted.
However, he did not intend to let Yue Yun get away with it just like that.
Ignoring Yue Yun's shocked expression, Pan Xuan dragged him from his chair and beckoned to the students of Beast Taming Class 6.
"Class 6, someone come up and fight him!"
The people from Beast Taming Class 6 looked at Yue Yun with curiosity.
The homeroom teacher of Beast Taming Class 6 introduced him to the students: "He is Yue Yun, who just transferred from a regular class to the Beast Taming Class. His Beast Taming Talent is very special, and he is currently studying in Beast Taming Class 1."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay upon hearing this.
Since he entered Beast Taming Class 1 because of a special Beast Taming Talent, this Beast Taming Talent must be quite formidable—at least A-rank!
It would be effortless for such a Genius to bully them, the stragglers of Beast Taming Class 6, and no one wanted to go up to the competition arena and lose face.
"Rest assured, he has an E-rank Beast Taming Talent! Whoever defeats him gets his potion quota for this month!"
Seeing everyone shirking, Pan Xuan brought out a bargaining chip.
He winked at Yue Yun, intending to tell him that if he didn't want to lose his monthly potion quota for the Beast Taming Class, he should just go up obediently.
Forced by the overbearing pressure, Yue Yun ascended the competition arena.
Hearing that Yue Yun only had an E-rank Beast Taming Talent, the students of Beast Taming Class 6 began to whisper, some eager to try.
Yue Yun was, after all, a student of Beast Taming Class 1.
If they defeated Yue Yun, then rounding it up, it would be equivalent to defeating Beast Taming Class 1—this was a symbol of honor.
Upon hearing about the monthly potion quota, everyone's enthusiasm was ignited, and their eyes turned greedy as they looked at Yue Yun.
Why did everyone want to get into the Beast Taming Class?
It was not just because there were teachers to impart knowledge, but also specialized cultivation plans for Pet Beasts and massive amounts of resources.
Obtaining customized Pet Beast potions might not necessarily be useful, but the essential low-grade spirit-absorbing potion was enough to make people flock to it.
In the blink of an eye, everyone went from shirking to scrambling for it.
Xu Qingfang's eyes trembled slightly: "Pan Zi is ruthless enough!"
Mo Yu nodded, deeply agreeing.
Pan Xuan using the potion quota as a bargaining chip was forcing Yue Yun to go all out; otherwise, already lagging behind, he would fall even further behind everyone else's pace.
Yue Yun sighed helplessly.
He gave Pan Xuan a subtle middle finger, then turned around to look at the crowd as if nothing had happened.
Oh well, he had to fight anyway.
Yue Yun walked onto the competition arena with his hands in his pockets, strutting with an arrogant gait, tilting his head back and looking down at everyone.
"Yue Yun, One-Star Beast Tamer, Pet Beast Earth Spirit Cat!"
A grayish-white Pet Beast contract flashed, and the chubby Miao Sang appeared, resting steadily on Yue Yun's head and yawning.
— — "This is... E-rank Beast Taming Talent?"
— — "Pfft, this is an E-rank potential Earth Spirit Cat!"
— — "Damn, is this guy here to be funny?"
As expected, the E-rank combination of Yue Yun and Miao Sang was mocked by the crowd; almost no one could believe he came from Beast Taming Class 1.
Looking at all the heroes in the world, who wouldn't call this crap upon seeing it?
The person from Beast Taming Class 6 was also selected.
He kept his head down the whole time, trying to suppress his laughter, barely managing to keep his mouth from curling up.
"Zhang Qiang, One-Star Beast Tamer, Pet Beast Violent Gorilla!"
The burly Violent Gorilla beat its chest as if declaring its sovereignty, baring its fangs and letting out a long roar. Its dark gray fur was as coarse as rock, and its eyes revealed a wildness.
The judge looked at Yue Yun and Zhang Qiang, nodded slightly after receiving confirmation from both, cleared his throat, and said.
"Both Beast Tamers, off the stage!"
Zhang Qiang patted the Violent Gorilla and turned to leave the stage.
Yue Yun, however, stood rooted to the spot without making a move.
The judge reminded him again: "Beast Tamer, off the stage."
Everyone's gaze turned to Yue Yun.
Yue Yun took Miao Sang off his head. After Miao Sang's four limbs touched the ground, it wiggled its plump body and left the competition arena, watching him from off-stage with its lively eyes.
The Pet Beast Pavilion fell into an eerie silence once again.
The judge couldn't help but frown: "Student Yue Yun, this is a Pet Beast battle; the Beast Tamer can leave the stage."
"Teacher, my Beast Taming style is different from yours!"
Yue Yun used Pan Xuan's words, brazenly telling a lie.
The judge subconsciously looked at Pan Xuan.
Pan Xuan nodded in cooperation.
The judge wanted to say something but stopped, eventually swallowing his words. With a strange expression, he signaled to both sides: "Both sides, prepare to fight!"
Yue Yun took a deep breath, his eyes becoming determined.
Zhang Qiang shook his head with a laugh: "Sorry, buddy. Violent Gorilla, attack, Consecutive Strikes!"
The Violent Gorilla let out a long roar, charged toward Yue Yun, and raised its massive fists, striking out rapidly.
Yue Yun didn't take the hits head-on, his figure constantly moving to dodge.
"So fast!"
Looking at Yue Yun's elusive figure, everyone was shocked, not expecting that Yue Yun could actually dodge the Violent Gorilla's fists.
Zhang Qiang was also taken aback.
He ordered again: "Heavy Punch!"
The Violent Gorilla howled and raised its right fist. Earth-yellow light surged in from all directions, continuously pouring into its forearm, compressing terrifying power within the fist.
The Heavy Punch blasted forward. Visible sound waves trembled violently, and the terrifying fist force tore through the air barrier, kicking up a fierce wind and sweeping out, crushing a nearly ten-meter-long invisible clear zone.
Yue Yun's pupils constricted slightly.
He seized the opportunity to roll to the side, dodging the terrifying Heavy Punch skill, and used the Violent Gorilla's skill cooldown to rise and charge.
Yue Yun launched himself from several meters away, tensing his entire body's muscles and using his knee joint as the attack point, forming an arc-shaped impact.
Yue Yun dived like a wild goose.
Holy crap!
Zhang Qiang's pupils shook, and for a moment, he didn't react in time.
The wildness in the Violent Gorilla's eyes stalled slightly, and it instinctively raised its thick arms to block its face, only to be struck hard on the arm by Yue Yun.
Roar — — !
The Violent Gorilla let out a low roar, its burly body stumbling backward from Yue Yun's impact, shaking its struck forearm in a human-like manner.
Yue Yun landed in a superhero pose.
He looked at the Violent Gorilla with a calm expression, but the next second, he bent over, grabbed his knee, and rubbed it frantically: "Ouch, holy crap, it hurts like hell!"
An illusory health bar appeared above his head.
