32: Chapter 32 Jianghai City Beast Tamer Association
Knock, knock, knock!
A polite knocking sound came from outside the door.
Yue Yun opened the door and was surprised to see the visitor.
He asked, "Brother Wu, what are you doing here?"
The visitor was indeed Wu Di.
Wu Di looked into the room, and only after confirming there was no danger did he breathe a sigh of relief. "We were afraid those three guys would take a desperate risk, so we strengthened patrols around your house. Just now, the Spirit Rhyme Spider sensed an unusual energy fluctuation, so I came up to take a look."
"What just happened here?"
Wu Di asked with some confusion.
The Spirit Rhyme Spider was exceptionally sensitive to energy fluctuations and was used by the Administration Bureau for surveillance; it almost never made a mistake.
Yue Yun raised the empty test tube of dragon blood potion no. 14 in his hand, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I think it was because of this."
He hadn't expected it to actually alert the Spirit Rhyme Spider.
As a Three-Star Beast Tamer and a public official of the Administration Bureau, Wu Di naturally had more knowledge than ordinary people.
He recognized the dragon blood potion no. 14 and turned his gaze toward Miao Sang, who was sleeping soundly in the corner, his eyes filled with regret and confusion.
"You fed dragon blood potion to an Earth Spirit Cat?"
"What a waste of a heavenly treasure!"
Wu Di hadn't even used any version of dragon blood potion himself yet.
Even if he had one, he wouldn't feed it to a low-tier Pet Beast like an Earth Spirit Cat, as it was simply not worth the investment of resources.
If one potion was calculated to increase attributes by 1%, dragon blood potion no. 14 was equivalent to ten potions for every attribute. Its value alone was as high as several hundred thousand.
Moreover, dragon blood potion was a rare commodity that was often unavailable even if one had the money.
Feeding it to an Earth Spirit Cat?
To be blunt, it's a complete waste!
Yue Yun simply smiled, his gaze firm.
"Miao Sang is my comrade-in-arms; he deserves everything."
The choice between a Beast Tamer and a Pet Beast is mutual.
The relationship between the two should not be seen as master and servant, but as family members who chose each other, as the support that always backs the other up, and as comrades-in-arms to whom one entrusts their life.
Miao Sang trusted him, and he could not let Miao Sang down.
Yue Yun's emotions moved Wu Di.
Wu Di's hot blood, which had been dormant for many years, began to boil slightly, as if he had returned to his youth—fearless and full of lofty aspirations.
Until a breeze hit, and he felt a chill on the top of his head.
Forget it, forget it, the hair is more important!
Wu Di patted Yue Yun on the shoulder with some admiration. "With this kind of courage, you will succeed in whatever you do!"
He left after briefly explaining some precautions.
Yue Yun also stretched and prepared to rest.
"Things have come to this, time to sleep!"
...
The next day.
As soon as Yue Yun arrived at the classroom, he was called away by Pan Xuan.
"Get in the car." Pan Xuan drove over in a private car. "We're going to the Beast Tamer Association to get the skill Awakening Materials for you."
He was referring to the Materials for Miao Sang to awaken the skill War Cry.
While driving, he said distractedly, "The War Cry skill mainly has three characteristics: a short starting gesture, common and inconspicuous movements, and a quick activation without lag."
"When War Cry is activated, it can interrupt a Pet Beast's skill. A successful intimidation can throw the Pet Beast into a state of confusion."
"Therefore, the activation of War Cry requires good timing."
Yue Yun nodded and committed it to memory.
Unlike other Beast Tamers, he could personally feel the changes in the battlefield situation without needing to be distracted by controlling his Pet Beast.
Therefore, grasping the timing was relatively simple for him.
Pan Xuan drove the car to the city center.
A nine-story building stood here, built with great style and majesty, closely connected to the municipal government.
This was the Jianghai City Beast Tamer Association.
The Beast Tamer Association was a place specifically designed to provide services for Beast Tamers, and every Beast Tamer was incredibly familiar with it.
Except for Yue Yun, of course.
Looking at the wide-eyed and at-a-loss Yue Yun, a staff member walked over with a smile.
"Hello, student! I am happy to serve you!"
"You're happy too early."
Yue Yun spread his empty hands.
He had left the sleeping Miao Sang at home. Without even bringing a Pet Beast, what kind of service could he need? He might as well just wander around.
The staff member stumbled and almost fell.
She wiped away non-existent sweat, looking slightly embarrassed. "Is this your first time here, student? We can provide you with assistance."
"Then can you help me pay the bill?"
Yue Yun was a bit tempted.
The staff member froze on the spot.
What a hateful guy, actually coveting my little bit of money!
The expression with which she looked at Yue Yun changed. It was no longer soft as before, but wary and distant.
Suddenly, a hand-chop landed on Yue Yun's head.
Pan Xuan calmly subdued Yue Yun and turned to look at the dumbfounded staff member while taking out a silver-edged ID card.
"I'm here to pick up some pre-ordered Materials."
The staff member's gaze fell upon the silver-edged ID card, and her attitude underwent a complete transformation. She respectfully took it.
An ID card was a Beast Tamer's credential at the Beast Tamer Association, representing the rights and interests they could enjoy within the association.
A regular ID card represented a common-level Beast Tamer, a silver-edged ID card represented an Elite Beast Tamer, and a gold-edged ID card represented a Master-level Beast Tamer.
This was not just a leap in strength, but a world of difference in status and position—the power brought by absolute strength.
"While you're at it, verify his Beast Tamer Aptitude."
Pan Xuan pointed at Yue Yun.
The staff member agreed and left quickly to retrieve the Materials Pan Xuan had ordered, while also calling someone to verify Yue Yun's Aptitude.
Yue Yun took this opportunity to wander around the Beast Tamer Association.
Big, it's really big!
The building was nine stories high, and the space on each floor was very wide. The magnificent decoration gave off an atmosphere of grandeur.
From the second floor up, entertainment facilities were as common as Pet Beasts, and most importantly, they were all free.
Rather than a Beast Tamer Association, it was more like a large-scale leisure and entertainment city, specifically for Beast Tamers.
Only after Yue Yun finished his Aptitude verification and received his ID card did Pan Xuan speak leisurely. "See? This is how the world of Beast Tamers is. Only absolute strength gives rise to power."
Yue Yun was deep in thought.
"You said those three people checked your memories. I thought about it after I went back; it's likely that your mutated Beast Taming Talent reminded them of something."
"This is only the beginning. You must be extra careful."
Because it involved secrets, Pan Xuan's words were vague.
The matter of those three bandits could be big or small.
Those with intentions could use this excuse to constantly move against Yue Yun.
For example, others who coveted the Secret Realm, or those academic tyrants who could not tolerate Yue Yun—they were all possibilities.
"The world of Beast Tamers really is full of undercurrents!"
Yue Yun nodded, indicating he understood.
At this time, the staff member returned, carrying a full tray with the Materials Pan Xuan had ordered.
A red gemstone shaped like a heart.
The gemstone was surrounded by sparse blood Qi. If one sensed carefully, it was as if one could hear faint roars, making one's Bloodline tremble.
There were also various precious Materials, medicinal herbs, and Pet Beast flesh.
"This is the petrified heart of a Ground-Rending Tiger that died of old age. Feed it to the Earth Spirit Cat, and then stew these medicinal herbs and Pet Beast meat for it according to the standard of four meals a day."
Doing this would likely allow other Pet Beasts to awaken successfully.
Considering the Earth Spirit Cat's E-grade potential, Pan Xuan added again, "If it hasn't awakened after finishing the herbs and Pet Beast meat, then prepare another portion according to this ratio."
Yue Yun carried the tray and left with Pan Xuan.
The staff member looked at their departing figures, Pan Xuan's words echoing in her mind, her expression of shock hard to hide.
An Earth Spirit Cat?
You've got to be kidding; even she kept one of those Pet Beasts.
To put it bluntly, it had no cultivation value whatsoever.
She held her forehead. "I really don't understand the world of Beast Tamers!"
