162: Chapter 162 The Girl's Heart Is Broken
The operation to clear out the deviant beasts came to a successful conclusion.
When the members of the Administration Bureau saw the youth with a bare chest and an orange fat cat on his head, they all showed expressions of deep respect.
The youth was young but acted decisively; not only did he possess a unique Beast-Taming School, but he had also used the strength of a Two-Star Beast Tamer to cross ranks and defeat a Three-Star Beast Tamer who had contracted a deviant beast.
That sixty-meter health bar stretching across the horizon was terrifyingly formidable, and from tonight onward, it would be deeply etched into everyone's minds.
Xie Heng became increasingly interested in Yue Yun.
"Do you want to come back to the Administration Bureau with me?"
"No, no, no, I'll pass."
Yue Yun greeted Xie Heng, asked for a shirt to put on, and leisurely left the scene.
Please, it wasn't like he enjoyed streaking!
Pan Xuan likely found it too much trouble.
He tossed the core of the Ghostly Exotic Beast to Xie Heng, exchanged it for some cultivation resources for Yue Yun, and left in a swaggering manner.
The behavior of this master and disciple pair was exactly the same. Xie Heng curled his lips helplessly: "Like teacher, like student. Yue Yun has been led astray by Pan Xuan!"
The operation allowance was quickly delivered to Yue Yun's hands.
It was a significant amount of capital!
The resources exchanged from the Ghostly Exotic Beast core, combined with the skill potions from the targeted skill cultivation, complemented each other to steadily improve Yue Yun's comprehensive strength.
During this period, Yue Yun received guidance from Pan Xuan.
Pan Xuan's guidance was far more rigorous than before. Not only did he have the Gangshan Bear as a sparring partner, but he also had the Holy Jade King Dragon for assistance.
Under the gravity suppression of the Domain, Land of Gold and Jade, Yue Yun's frontal combat power saw a significant boost in a short amount of time.
...
They say time flies like a galloping horse; in reality, time swings the whip so fiercely that the horse's backside is nearly torn apart.
During the final sprint phase of the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination.
Yue Yun greedily absorbed knowledge from books in the morning, improved through Pan Xuan's devilish training in the afternoon, and digested potions to Cultivate Contract Power during evening self-study, living an extremely disciplined life.
With the Old Master having left Jianghai City and Pan Xuan's tireless training, Yue Yun's life became a simple commute between two points.
He wasn't the only one working hard.
Xu Qingfang and the others were also racing against time to improve.
The hard work of the Beast Taming Class infected the surroundings. The entire campus was urgently preparing for battle, shrouded in a solemn and serious atmosphere.
"The college entrance exam starts tomorrow!"
Pan Xuan stood before the podium, looking at the students of Beast Taming Class 1 with a serious expression, delivering his final mobilization speech.
"The format of the college entrance exam has been emphasized many times. The cultural subjects will start first and last for two days. After the exams, students of the Beast Taming Class will gather and transfer to a Secret Realm for the practical combat portion of the beast-taming subject."
Everyone's Pet Beast was different.
While a Pet Beast's potential rating was important, it only proved the family's wealth and could not verify whether a Beast Tamer was qualified.
Chen Hu was a living example.
His contracted Pet Beast, the Lingshan Elephant Guard, simply would not obey him. No matter how well the Lingshan Elephant Guard was trained, it could not exert its proper strength and could not shoulder the responsibilities of a Beast Tamer.
Practical combat is the only standard for testing a Beast Tamer and their Pet Beast!
Pan Xuan tirelessly explained the points of attention, going over the exam rules that were already well-known again and again.
However, no one in Beast Taming Class 1 was listening.
All good things must come to an end. In the blink of an eye, three years of high school were about to pass. The laughter and joy of the past were gone, and the air was filled with the scent of parting.
Even Yue Yun, who had only stayed for a year, felt a bit sentimental.
Pan Xuan's gaze swept over the students. Seeing twenty-one youthful faces, he couldn't help but chuckle. In the end, they were just a group of middle schoolers who couldn't even control their emotions.
"I believe in you!"
Pan Xuan said only this one sentence.
This teacher, who was often joked about in private and known as the strict 'Devil Muscular Man,' waved his hand and turned to leave coolly under the red-eyed gazes of the crowd.
Although Pan Xuan was petty, he was extremely responsible and looked after his students tirelessly. He was indeed a rare and good teacher.
Xu Qingfang rubbed his stinging eyes and looked at Mo Yu with teary eyes: "What exactly did you smear on me?"
He was originally very moved.
But this guy Mo Yu, saying he was afraid Xu Qingfang wouldn't be able to cry, wiped something on his eyelids. It immediately stung so much that tears flowed uncontrollably.
Yue Yun, who was nearby, had naturally fallen victim as well.
At this moment, there was no sentimentality left in their hearts. Instead, they stared at Mo Yu with faces full of rage, wishing they could tear him to pieces.
"Expired Cooling Oil."
Mo Yu's eyes were also squinting from the sting: "I just wanted to see if expired Cooling Oil still worked. Who knew that even though the smell is gone, it's still so eye-stinging!"
"I keep you in my heart like a brother, and you kick me into a ditch?"
Xu Qingfang immediately cried out in shock.
Yue Yun was also gritting his teeth, quite angry.
The two shared a knowing look and attacked Mo Yu at the same time.
How could Mo Yu possibly withstand the two of them? Before long, he was repeatedly begging for mercy, causing the class to erupt in laughter.
Everyone was already used to the Three Heavenly Kings' horsing around. Seeing it now, they felt today was no different from any other ordinary day, and the sorrow in their hearts dissipated.
The sad feeling of parting was instantly swept away.
Su Lixia and Xue Qin looked at each other. The former couldn't help but smile faintly, while the latter helplessly covered her forehead and sighed repeatedly.
"Shall we go out for a walk?"
Su Lixia spoke up to stop the Three Heavenly Kings from continuing their ruckus, while also extending an invitation to the three of them, her bright eyes shimmering.
The Three Heavenly Kings naturally had no objections.
Cultivating while racing against time had long since made the adventure-loving Three Heavenly Kings feel stifled. Now, with only half a day left before the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, it was the perfect time to relax.
Most of the others had similar plans.
The trees in Linjiang Park were meticulously pruned, standing straight on both sides of the road. Whenever a breeze blew, the canopies swayed gently, making a faint, pleasant rustling sound.
Su Lixia and Yue Yun walked together, slowly heading forward along the riverbank, their shadows gradually lengthened by the sun.
Su Lixia glanced sideways at the youth beside her.
"Yue Yun, what kind of girls do you like?"
"What kind of girls do I like?"
Hearing this, Yue Yun was stumped. Having never considered such things, his mind went blank, so he could only look at the girl beside him.
"It should be someone like you, Su Su."
"Why?"
Su Lixia's sparkling beautiful eyes blinked slightly as she curiously asked the youth, a hint of expectation seemingly sprouting in the depths of her eyes.
Yue Yun thought for a moment and picked out some virtues: "Pretty, kind-hearted, friendly to others, knows how to repay kindness..."
Su Lixia nodded somewhat shyly.
She hadn't expected Yue Yun to have such a high opinion of her, but unfortunately, these weren't the words she wanted to hear.
Su Lixia said pointedly: "If you hadn't gone to the Mist Sea front line and had successfully gotten into a Beast Taming University, would you have looked for a girlfriend in university?"
This was another aspect Yue Yun hadn't considered.
Yue Yun's gaze lowered slightly as if in thought. After a good while, he shrugged and laughed with a sigh: "I'm not sure about that either. If I met a girl I liked, I'd probably try to pursue her."
"But I'm more interested in gaining knowledge and becoming a powerful Beast Tamer as soon as possible, until I become the King of Beast Tamers!"
