19: Chapter 19 So it wasn't my problem after all!

"Brother Yun is awesome!"

Someone shouted loudly from below the arena.

Immediately after, a wave of cheers erupted within the Pet Beast Pavilion. The crowd, coming to their senses, broke into thunderous applause, and the gloomy expressions on their faces finally bloomed into smiles.

Some even gave Chen Hu the middle finger.

Chen Hu's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water. He raised his hand to recall the Lingshan Elephant Guard, which had stood up again, and turned to leave dejectedly.

Mo Yu approached with a grin: "Awesome, brother! I never thought you could even defeat a Lingshan Elephant Guard. That's incredible!"

The Lingshan Elephant Guard was a powerful A-rank Pet Beast.

For Yue Yun to suppress a Lingshan Elephant Guard, his strength had to be at least at the level of a B-rank Pet Beast. Considering he had only been a Beast Tamer for over a month, his progress was truly rapid.

Yue Yun smiled and asked, watching Chen Hu's disappearing back, "Where is he going?"

"That show-off from the Imperial Capital is definitely going to study at the No. 1 High School."

"Then why did he come to our Jianghai Second Middle School to challenge us?"

Yue Yun tilted his head in confusion.

Seeing this, Mo Yu patiently explained to him.

"To become a rising star and get noticed by the higher-ups, one must at least prove themselves by being nearly peerless at the provincial level. So, these guys from the Imperial Capital always start by picking on the countryside schools to prove themselves."

After saying that, he gave Yue Yun a thumbs up.

Those who are too strong don't need to run out of the Imperial Capital to snatch slots, and those who are too weak have no reason to do so either.

The fact that Chen Hu could come out to snatch a slot proved that he wasn't weak even in the Imperial Capital; he was at least at an upper-middle level.

Jianghai Second Middle School wasn't Chen Hu's first stop upon arriving in Jianghai City. The previous schools had been utterly powerless against him; even Xu Qingfang and Su Lixia had only lasted two moves.

Who could have expected a sudden dark horse like Yue Yun?

Yue Yun realized the situation and asked again, "How do you know all this so clearly? Why haven't I heard about any of this?"

"You weren't in the Beast Taming Class before."

Mo Yu shrugged.

Vocational student matters are not for academic students to pry into!

Yue Yun looked toward the ordinary class teaching building, where the sound of reading occasionally drifted out, and nodded in deep agreement.

Pan Xuan walked toward Yue Yun with a smile on his face.

He acknowledged Yue Yun's outstanding performance but then reminded him: "Don't get happy too early, kid. That boy from the Imperial Capital was careless this time. The Lingshan Elephant Guard is thick-skinned and tough; the attacks you landed on it weren't even enough to tickle it!"

"True!" Yue Yun nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

Although the Lingshan Elephant Guard had been knocked down, it hadn't suffered any heavy damage except for its trunk, and it had stood back up very quickly.

Yue Yun wouldn't have been able to completely defeat the Lingshan Elephant Guard in a short time. If the Lingshan Elephant Guard had recovered its composure, he wouldn't have won so quickly.

Besides, Chen Hu was indeed not weak.

His skill coordination was effective, the transition between skills was smooth, and he had even discovered Yue Yun's weakness in a very short time.

"Your weakness is still too obvious."

Pan Xuan said meaningfully, "Using Rock Spike to counter the Lingshan Elephant Guard was quite clever, catching them off guard."

Without skills, Yue Yun lacked offensive means.

The spikes created by the Rock Spike skill were very sharp. If the shape of the Rock Spike was modified slightly to consistently produce Rock Spears, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for Yue Yun.

Miao Sang just happened to know the Rock Spike skill!

Yue Yun nodded, understanding the hint.

...

Chen Hu sat in the high-end custom car with a cold face.

Old Li, who was driving, felt the low pressure emanating from him and didn't dare to breathe loudly for a moment, fearing he would annoy the Young Master.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Hu spoke with narrowed eyes.

"Old Li, do you know what kind of Beast Taming Talent can give someone an extra health bar and make their strength as great as a Pet Beast's?"

Yue Yun had indeed left a deep impression on him.

In particular, Yue Yun's unique fighting style had shocked him immensely, leaving his heart faintly surging.

Chen Hu thought back carefully.

Yue Yun was very fast, but still within a reasonable range.

Although his strength wasn't enough to shake the Lingshan Elephant Guard, it was much stronger than an ordinary person's, even rivaling a Three-Star Beast Tamer.

The most prominent point was the health bar over his head.

Chen Hu was very knowledgeable and was certain that no Pet Beast possessed such a strange ability, so he could only look for the answer in Beast Taming Talents.

He knew all the registered Beast Taming Talents. There were a few that could satisfy the second condition, but none that could satisfy the first.

Could an E-rank Beast Taming Talent be this strong?

Chen Hu was completely baffled.

Anyone who saw a combination of an E-rank Beast Taming Talent and an E-rank Pet Beast would curse it as dog shit, yet it had actually defeated him. This was something Chen Hu found difficult to accept for a moment.

Old Li thought for a moment and also shook his head: "I've never heard of the talent the Second Young Master is describing. Blood-Qi Sharing, however, can make a person's strength as great as their Pet Beast's."

"Enough, let's go to Jianghai No. 1 High School."

Chen Hu interrupted Old Li's next words.

What kind of trash talent was Blood-Qi Sharing?

It was a trash talent that no Pet Beast would even want to form a contract with; the possibility of even becoming a Beast Tamer was microscopic.

If he were defeated by such a garbage talent, Chen Hu felt he might as well just find a block of tofu and ram his head into it to die.

Moreover, Blood-Qi Sharing was completely different from Yue Yun's performance.

"What a strange Beast Taming Talent..."

Chen Hu leaned back with his eyes slightly closed to rest.

He had originally planned to challenge one school a day, using this relentless rhythm to let the people of Jianghai City know what a true Genius was and to show off his kingly dominance.

Instead, he was ruthlessly cut down by Yue Yun at Jianghai Second Middle School. Forget about kingly dominance; he was now full of suppressed anger.

He might as well go to Jianghai No. 1 High School to regain his confidence!

Old Li closed his mouth, vaguely guessing that Chen Hu must have been defeated at Jianghai Second Middle School, which sent waves of shock through his heart.

Although the Chen family wasn't a prestigious clan, they were still a powerful family with deep backgrounds and immense influence.

Chen Hu had received the best education since childhood.

With the Lingshan Elephant Guard supported by the Chen family, Chen Hu's strength was quite formidable, capable of ranking among the top even in the Imperial Capital.

And yet he lost in this rural backwater?

Old Li was certain that Chen Hu's carelessness played a part, but it also proved that the other person's strength was not to be underestimated.

And from Chen Hu's tone, it sounded like he had lost quite badly.

Old Li felt a sense of respect for that unseen Genius. His lips twitched slightly, almost ready to utter the classic butler line: "You are the first classmate to make the Young Master lose so completely."

However, thinking of his job, Old Li remained silent.

Silence returned to the car.

Before long, the vehicle stopped at the gate of Jianghai No. 1 High School.

Chen Hu got out alone, reassuming that arrogant expression, and crossed the gate of Jianghai No. 1 High School to enter the campus.

Upon receiving the news, all members of the Jianghai No. 1 High School Beast Taming Class rushed to the Pet Beast Pavilion. As usual, the top-ranked student of the Beast Taming Class came out to fight.

"Qian Zhenghao, Two-Star Beast Tamer, Pet Beast: Emperor Crocodile!"

Qian Zhenghao looked at Chen Hu with intense Battle Intent.

Chen Hu was looking down, fiddling with his phone, with no intention of acknowledging his passion. He glanced up and said, "A few more of you come up, so you don't lose too embarrassingly!"

Qian Zhenghao clenched his fists in anger.

The expression of the No. 1 High School's Beast Taming Director didn't change much.

These Young Masters from the Imperial Capital who came to Jianghai City all stayed at Jianghai No. 1 High School. The Beast Taming Director had seen plenty of their bad tempers, but he had to admit they indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

The Beast Taming Director nodded in agreement.

With the Beast Taming Director's approval, several more people jumped onto the arena, summoning their Pet Beasts to attack the massive Lingshan Elephant Guard along with the Emperor Crocodile.

For a moment, various elements clashed in chaos.

When the chaotic elements settled, Chen Hu finally looked up at the Lingshan Elephant Guard, which was the only one left on the arena, and breathed a sigh of relief.

So it wasn't my problem after all!
