113: Chapter 113 The Trouble Caused by Eating Bear Paws

The space suddenly rippled, as if the colors of an oil painting had abruptly collapsed, and Pan Xuan's figure slowly stepped out from within.

With Pan Xuan's appearance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qingfang nodded, as expected.

Presumably, Pan Xuan had already summoned the Holy Jade King Dragon; even without Yue Yun's kick, the Holy Jade King Dragon's Domain would have kept him safe—at most, he would have suffered a little.

"I knew Pan Zi still had a conscience!"

He whispered to Mo Yu.

The group of Violent Bears also noticed Pan Xuan and let out deafening roars at him, but they didn't have the courage to launch an attack.

Unlike Yue Yun's intimidating posture,

in the eyes of the Violent Bears, Pan Xuan's Aura was as lofty and unreachable as Mount Tai; with just a single glance, he could instantly crush these aggressive bears.

Swish!

The Gangshan Bear raised its bear paw, covered in dark cyan fur, and easily grabbed the head of the attacking Violent Bear.

With a crack, the Violent Bear's hard head was crushed.

For a moment, everyone forgot to breathe.

"Roar!"

The Gangshan Bear let out a roar, and the furious group of Violent Bears immediately quieted down, tucked their tails, and fled in panic.

Pan Xuan calmly motioned for the students to land, not giving the killed Violent Bear even a half-glance: "As Pet Beasts with unstable emotions and extreme aggressiveness, Violent Bears not only attack other Pet Beasts but also proactively harm humans.

However, Violent Bears usually keep to themselves; they only choose to hunt in groups in rare circumstances. Does anyone know why?"

Everyone's hearts, which had just settled, were instantly in their throats again.

Testing knowledge even at a time like this—as expected of the Beast Taming Director of Jianghai Second Middle School!

"Is it because the pack is facing the threat of attack?"

Someone plucked up the courage to answer.

Pan Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Correct. Most solitary Pet Beasts only strike back alongside their pack when they face threats to their mates, offspring, or the group.

Violent Bear paws are precious ingredients and are often hunted by Beast Taming Groups. That's why the Violent Bears gather to resist attacks from Beast Taming Groups, or even hunt them.

This is a lesson; you must remain vigilant at all times!"

As the Beast Taming Director of Jianghai Second Middle School and the teacher of these students from Beast Taming Class 1, how could Pan Xuan let anything happen to them?

At most, it was a lesson to ensure they remembered it well.

Another student stepped forward.

He asked, "Teacher, in that case, why do we have to kill the Violent Bears? We could just cut off the paws!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

The students subconsciously stepped a few paces away from him, looking at this classmate as if he were a Living King of Hell with eyes full of horror.

Even Pan Xuan was completely speechless.

"The paws are vital parts for a Violent Bear's attack and survival. It's better to kill it outright than to cut them off and leave it to suffer."

Pan Xuan seemed to remember something.

In a Beast Taming Group, everyone must master the knowledge of dismantling Pet Beasts; otherwise, they won't be able to obtain valuable items.

The students were flowers in a greenhouse. Let alone mastering the knowledge of dismantling Pet Beasts, this was the first time they had even seen a scene like this. It was already good enough that they could stand firm with a normal expression.

Asking them to dismantle it was too much, but Xue Qin and Mo Yu, who frequently dealt with Pet Beast Materials, should have no problem.

His gaze swept over the nineteen students: "Xue Qin, Mo Yu, you two come over and dismantle this Violent Bear to set an example for your classmates!"

Xue Qin and Mo Yu, having been called upon, hesitated slightly.

The Violent Bear whose head had been crushed by the Gangshan Bear looked like a bloody mess, but to Xue Qin and Mo Yu, who were used to seeing Pet Beast corpses, it wasn't actually a big problem.

The problem was how to smoothly cut through the Violent Bear's skin.

"Teacher, we don't have a knife!"

Xue Qin spread her hands toward Pan Xuan.

As the saying goes, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice; they couldn't be expected to tear the Violent Bear open with their bare hands to dismantle it for everyone.

Not everyone is like that guy Yue Yun!

Pan Xuan handed Yue Yun's kitchen knife to Xue Qin. Having the knife, Xue Qin no longer refused and began discussing with Mo Yu how to proceed.

What level was Pan Xuan?

As a Four-Star Beast Tamer with a Pet Beast like the Gangshan Bear, how could he covet the value of this Violent Bear's corpse? In the end, it would just benefit Xue Qin and Mo Yu, who were responsible for the dismantling.

Thinking of this, the two of them no longer hesitated.

At this moment, Xu Qingfang approached.

"Teacher, don't we need to check on Yue Yun?"

Xu Qingfang offered Pan Xuan a cigarette, diligently lit it for him, and then quietly asked about Yue Yun's safety.

Pan Xuan had the cigarette in his mouth, and only after a long moment of puffing clouds of smoke did he react: "How did you kid manage to bring cigarettes in here?"

Cigarettes were certainly not restricted in the Secret Realm.

But underage Beast Tamers were naturally another matter. Moreover, the school had conducted body searches before entering the Secret Realm. It could be said that these little rascals were quite capable to have brought cigarettes in!

Xu Qingfang did not answer.

Pan Xuan just stared at Xu Qingfang, smoking the cigarette he had been handed, with no intention of answering his question.

Xu Qingfang had no choice but to reply: "I caught up with the Beast Taming Group that entered ahead of us, exchanged contact information, and traded for them. I'll transfer the money to them once we're out."

"Smart."

Pan Xuan didn't say much more on the matter.

The Secret Realm regulations didn't explicitly forbid it, and Xu Qingfang hadn't violated school rules by using underhanded tricks. Being able to get cigarettes in the Secret Realm was his own skill.

Wasn't this a kind of ability in its own right?

Pan Xuan walked behind a large tree to smoke away from the students, and Xu Qingfang followed him with a cigarette in his mouth.

The two of them, one older and one younger, smoked like that.

Pan Xuan saw Xu Qingfang's worry: "You don't need to worry too much. That kid will run on his own if he encounters something he can't beat. Besides, the Cangyuan Secret Realm isn't that dangerous."

"I'm afraid he'll get lost."

In the vast Cangyuan Secret Realm, the danger of getting lost was far more direct than facing a Pet Beast. After all, no one knew which corner you might be wandering into.

If something really happened, there wouldn't even be time to recover the body.

"I've already had a Pet Beast follow him." Pan Xuan naturally wouldn't forget what Xu Qingfang could think of. "Once Xue Qin and Mo Yu are finished, we'll continue our journey. He should be back around dinner time."

Xu Qingfang was instantly relieved.

"Teacher, is it your Holy Jade King Dragon?"

With the Holy Jade King Dragon by his side, one could roam freely in this Cangyuan Secret Realm; there would be no problem going anywhere.

Xu Qingfang was incredibly envious!

Pan Xuan, however, shook his head.

"It's another one of my Pet Beasts, one you haven't seen before."

"Besides the Blunt-Armored Pack Beast, Gangshan Bear, and Holy Jade King Dragon, you actually have another Pet Beast, Teacher?"

Xu Qingfang was quite surprised: "Usually, an ordinary Beast Tamer can contract two Pet Beasts, an Elite Beast Tamer can contract four, and a Master-level Beast Tamer can contract six.

Teacher, you're a Four-Star Beast Tamer. Logically, you can contract three Pet Beasts at most. How can you have four?"

Xu Qingfang looked at Pan Xuan with great expectation.

Could it be that the teacher has some secret technique!"

Pan Xuan, however, gave Xu Qingfang a sidelong glance.

He said irritably, "In the era of Beast Taming, common sense is the most useless thing. Do you know how many Pet Beasts the President of the Beast Tamer Association has contracted?"

Xu Qingfang shook his head repeatedly, unable to guess at all.

Pan Xuan raised both hands and counted on his fingers, showing nine fingers to Xu Qingfang and giving a precise, affirmative answer.

"Nine!"
