46: Chapter 46 I don't think this kid is a good person
Once the security personnel had taken away the Ni Youhun, Xue Qin and Su Lixia dragged Yue Yun off for a check-up, only breathing a sigh of relief once they confirmed he was unharmed.
The three of them headed to the leisure area within the Beast Tamer Association.
"You scared us to death!"
Xue Qin was filled with lingering fear: "The Ni Youhun is a C-rank potential ghost-type Pet Beast. It excels at cursing and applying various negative status effects. It's fortunate that it didn't launch an attack on you."
Yue Yun was also puzzled by this.
As a ghost-type Pet Beast, the Ni Youhun had attached itself to him without any aggressive behavior, and it hadn't put up any fierce resistance when it was captured.
From every angle, it was quite unique.
Yue Yun speculated nonchalantly: "Perhaps this is a Pet Beast that the sales area had already trained, which is why they dared to put it up for sale?"
"That's impossible!"
Su Lixia rarely looked so stern: "Ghost-type Pet Beasts have a clear unpredictability; they unconsciously influence their surroundings and won't listen to anyone's commands except for their contracted Beast Tamer."
She paused for a moment before muttering to herself.
"They say the Pet Beast sales area in Nanyuan City is highly rated, but they ended up committing such a low-level error as letting a Pet Beast escape!"
It was fortunate that it was Yue Yun who got caught in it.
If it had been anyone else, they might already be in emergency care.
Fortunately, the compensation provided was generous enough.
Not long after the three sat down in the tea room, Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu arrived to join them, their faces full of exhaustion.
Xu Qingfang asked, "Old Yue, are you alright?"
"Small matter, I've got it handled!"
Yue Yun smiled, signaling for them to set their minds at ease.
Mo Yu had barely sat down before he began to vent: "The information Old Xu and I found was incomplete. The details for two people were hidden, and since one of them happened to be at Nanyuan First Middle School, we went to investigate."
The two recounted the difficulties of their journey.
Mo Yu and Xu Qingfang's investigation had been quite smooth at first. The Beast Tamer Association not only had information on the participating teams but also listed the recent status of each participant, including their win-loss records.
That was until they encountered two individuals whose files they couldn't access.
Not wanting to give up halfway, they left the Beast Tamer Association without stopping and headed to Nanyuan First Middle School.
The main gate of Nanyuan First Middle School utilized a traditional architectural structure. The plaque with the school's name was inscribed by a calligrapher, and the bracket set design showcased the majestic grandeur of traditional architectural aesthetics.
"This is just too impressive!"
Standing before the school gate, Xu Qingfang and his companion looked like mere underlings.
Mo Yu tried to enter but was stopped by the old security guard.
"Non-students are prohibited from entering!"
"Old man, I am from this school."
"Who do you think you're fooling? You don't look like a good person!"
The old guard chased Mo Yu away with dissatisfaction, then shifted his gaze to the watching Xu Qingfang, his expression softening.
"Kid, don't hang out with such shady people. Go back and study properly; don't skip class to come out here again!"
Xu Qingfang pointed at himself, somewhat bewildered.
The old man's tone of earnest instruction caused Mo Yu to lose his composure.
"I'm shady?"
Mo Yu gestured to himself, laughing in anger: "Old man, you're judging a book by its cover. Since he hangs out with me, what kind of 'good bird' could he be?"
The old man shifted his gaze back to Mo Yu, unhurriedly.
"He has just lost his way for a moment."
Mo Yu was instantly furious.
He rolled up his sleeves, intending to reason with the old man.
A massive three-headed hellhound walked out from the security office, sitting behind the old guard like a mountain of flesh, casting a shadow that covered both Mo Yu and Xu Qingfang.
Mo Yu suddenly felt a chill and lowered his sleeves.
"Young man, don't be impulsive."
The old man advised them cheerfully: "You two should leave. Nanyuan First Middle School does not accept visitors, and non-students are not allowed to enter."
The two of them had been craning their necks at the school gate, trying to peek inside.
He could clearly see that they were together; he just wanted to use this opportunity to tease Mo Yu.
Mo Yu instantly lost his temper.
Xu Qingfang said helplessly, "Are we still investigating Jiang Hanqiu? If not, we should head back."
At this moment, the old guard spoke again.
"So you came here for Jiang Hanqiu."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu looked at the old man expectantly.
The old guard did not disappoint them: "Jiang Hanqiu possesses an S-rank Beast Taming Talent, and his Pet Beast is the Steel Guardian."
Steel Guardian, species: Mechanical/Steel.
A super-powerful Pet Beast with an S-rank potential rating.
Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu's expressions instantly turned grave. With a send-off from the old guard, they left Nanyuan First Middle School in silence and returned to the Beast Tamer Association to reunite with Yue Yun and the others.
Xu Qingfang said with a serious expression: "If my expectations are correct, that Wen Guyu from Qinghu City should also have an S-rank Beast Taming Talent."
His words weighed on everyone like a mountain.
Xue Qin twitched her lips: "Why are there two people with S-rank Beast Taming Talent this year, plus an S-rank Pet Beast like the Steel Guardian? It feels like they are aiming for the title of Nanyuan Province Champion."
Qin Xiyue's Beast Taming Talent, Heartbeat of the Earth, is only A-rank.
However, she relied on this Beast Taming Talent to awaken the Molten Mountain Dragon, and combined with the Molten Mountain Dragon's talent, Heart of the Furnace, the terrifying power she unleashed swept through the four people from the Second Middle School.
She even crushed Chen Hu, who also had an A-rank Beast Taming Talent.
The strength of an S-rank Beast Taming Talent is far above that of an A-rank.
"Do you think they would miss the Campus Championship?"
Mo Yu glanced at her helplessly.
However, everyone adjusted their mindset quickly.
Xu Qingfang encouraged everyone: "Think about it, we've already completed our task by qualifying from Jianghai City. In the upcoming matches, we should just give it our all. Even if we lose, we must show the spirit of the Second Middle School!"
The difficulty of this Campus Championship is indeed high.
But they hadn't come aiming for the championship; their goal was more about sparring with other Beast Tamers of their age, discovering their shortcomings through competition, and working hard to improve themselves.
Thinking this way, everyone felt much more relaxed.
"It seems you have realized that there are always mountains beyond mountains!"
Pan Xuan's voice suddenly rang out, and he walked toward them with a relaxed pace: "Xu Qingfang is right. Don't be afraid because of their excellence; you have all done very well too."
Mo Yu felt as if he were facing a great enemy, cold sweat streaming down.
He hurriedly stood up to pull out a chair for Pan Xuan, eagerly inviting him to sit, but was ruthlessly rejected by Pan Xuan.
"I'll deal with you later!"
Pan Xuan glared at Mo Yu impatiently, then turned his head and said: "Don't have any psychological burden. Just treat this as a small vacation for yourselves and fully experience the atmosphere of Pet Beast combat."
Pan Xuan did not put pressure on them.
Just as he had told Yue Yun before Yue Yun transferred classes, every child in the Beast Taming Class puts in unimaginable effort and persists tirelessly to become a powerful Beast Tamer.
This point was vividly reflected in Yue Yun.
"I still have handover work to do; you are free to do as you please!"
Everyone couldn't stop cheering.
This not only meant that Pan Xuan was temporarily not holding them accountable for skipping class to come to Nanyuan City, but it also meant they had a full day to explore Nanyuan City.
Having survived the ordeal, Mo Yu was overjoyed.
Xu Qingfang also happened to want to relax.
He asked: "Where should we go tomorrow?"
"Why, the amusement park, of course!"
Xue Qin and Su Lixia made the decision.
