7: Chapter 7 lets you play with my wheelchair
A long time passed, and the scorching sun occupied the entire sky.
The Blunt-Armored Pack Beast, seemingly tireless, continued to raise its iron hooves and launched a new round of pursuit against Yue Yun.
Yue Yun, having been trampled by the Blunt-Armored Pack Beast, felt his whole body aching and weak. Seeing it Charge again, he couldn't help but laugh in frustration.
"Still coming?"
He no longer had the strength to run.
Facing the rampaging Blunt-Armored Pack Beast, Yue Yun suddenly turned around, summoning his courage to face this terrifying chariot.
He lowered his body into a horse stance, rooting himself firmly like a nail in the center of the Pet Beast Pavilion's arena, and reached out to press against the keratin layer on the Blunt-Armored Pack Beast's head, giving his all to block its Charge.
Facing the impact, Yue Yun gritted his teeth and held on.
Crack!
The ground beneath him suddenly shattered, his feet driving into the broken ground like steel stakes, firmly supporting his slender frame.
The illusory health bar trembled, and his HP dropped below half.
Crack, crack, crack!
The Blunt-Armored Pack Beast didn't stop, continuing its Charge forward, forcing Yue Yun to keep sliding backward.
His feet, though appearing fragile, withstood the pressure. Refusing to yield to the oppression of the Blunt-Armored Pack Beast, they remained firmly planted in the arena, leaving increasingly deep trenches in their wake.
The illusory health bar seemed to be in vibration mode, trembling incessantly, and his HP continued to drop accordingly.
Sensing the resistance, the Blunt-Armored Pack Beast quickly slowed down.
The Beast Tamer's instruction to it was to temper the human before it, not to actually play this human to death.
However, the Blunt-Armored Pack Beast had too much momentum.
It took a braking distance of over a dozen meters for the Blunt-Armored Pack Beast to stop, leaving deep trenches on the Pet Beast Pavilion's ground.
It stared with eyes as huge as headlights, looking at the tiny human before it with suspicion and uncertainty.
With such a vast disparity, Yue Yun had actually managed to do it!
Yue Yun exhaled a heavy breath, retracted his palm, clenched it into a fist, and struck the keratin layer on the Blunt-Armored Pack Beast's head with all his might.
The Blunt-Armored Pack Beast's body shuddered, its eyes filled with surprise.
Under the recoil, Yue Yun fell backward. Having exhausted all his strength, he lay like a corpse on the still-intact part of the arena.
At this moment, only a tiny sliver of his HP remained.
"Almost died!"
Yue Yun felt a sense of surviving a disaster.
The Blunt-Armored Pack Beast looked at Yue Yun with some concern.
It nudged Yue Yun with its hoof, but Yue Yun simply rolled over in place, no longer responding to any of its actions.
The Blunt-Armored Pack Beast breathed a sigh of relief, its massive body slowly lying down, and it lay in the arena alongside Yue Yun.
It wasn't until after the meeting ended that Pan Xuan rushed to the Pet Beast Pavilion, gaping at the wreckage everywhere.
He rubbed his chin, his mood very complicated.
"Truly worthy of being a human-shaped Pet Beast!"
...
Beast Taming Class 1.
It was already afternoon when Yue Yun returned.
Whir— The sound of tires spinning rapidly rang out. Yue Yun looked up to see Mo Yu riding a wheelchair, rushing toward him.
Mo Yu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly put his feet down to brake.
"Yue Yun, get out of the way!"
"Watch out!" Class monitor Xu Qingfang chased after him with an anxious expression.
Yue Yun instantly remembered the fear of being dominated by the Blunt-Armored Pack Beast.
He paused for a moment and nimbly dodged Mo Yu.
Mo Yu also urgently braked the wheelchair, causing his whole body to bounce up from the seat and fall forward.
Just as he was about to fall flat on his face, Yue Yun quickly reached out, grabbed Mo Yu by the collar, and yanked him back, simultaneously reaching out to control the wheelchair to prevent it from sliding away.
Xu Qingfang breathed a sigh of relief: "You helped a lot, buddy!"
"Thanks, brother!" Mo Yu also came to his senses, gave Yue Yun a grateful look, and patted his shoulder heavily.
Falling was a small matter, but losing face was a big one!
Yue Yun smiled noncommittally.
Turning to look at Beast Taming Class 1, the boys from the class were standing outside the door, calling for Yue Yun to bring the wheelchair back.
The girls in the class were looking at them with unfriendly expressions.
Behind the group of girls, a fair-skinned, slender girl was looking at everyone with a helpless expression.
One look and it was clear she was the owner of the wheelchair.
Because her legs were covered in thick plaster casts!
School bullying?
Yue Yun frowned slightly, unable to understand the situation.
He pushed the wheelchair back to Beast Taming Class 1. The girl with plaster casts on her legs nodded gratefully at him, while Mo Yu was scolded by the girls in the class.
"Do you want to play with my wheelchair with them?"
The girl asked Yue Yun with a smile.
Her name was Su Lixia, and her strength was second only to Xu Qingfang.
Due to some special reasons, Su Lixia's legs were in casts, and being immobile, she needed to rely on the wheelchair to move.
Mo Yu and the others were very interested in the wheelchair, so Su Lixia naturally lent it out, making it a plaything for everyone.
Understanding the cause and effect, Yue Yun flatteringly declined Su Lixia's generosity.
Mo Yu leaned forward, rubbing his hands like a fly.
"Sister Su, can you lend it to us to play for a while longer?"
"No!" Su Lixia refused without even thinking, "You can even flip a wheelchair while riding it; your skills are too lousy!"
Mo Yu's face flushed red at these words.
You could criticize him for failing to get things done, or ignore him, but if you called him a noob, he absolutely wouldn't accept it.
"What are you saying? I am the Akina Speed Star!"
Mo Yu opened the floodgates, rattling off his achievements in riding and his accomplishments in racing games, all to prove he wasn't a noob.
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.
Su Lixia turned her gaze back to Yue Yun: "They say you offended Pan Zi, and that's why you were dragged to Beast Taming Class 1 by him?"
"Pretty much."
Yue Yun recounted the events of this morning.
He wouldn't go so far as to say Pan Xuan was intentionally messing with him; after all, his tempering was indeed special training for him.
But the methods were too brutal.
Yue Yun didn't believe Pan Xuan hadn't added any personal vendetta to it.
Su Lixia looked at him with sympathy.
Xu Qingfang couldn't help but click his tongue secretly.
Pan Zi was truly ruthless!
After a bit of idle chatter, Yue Yun asked with some confusion: "What class is this afternoon? Why hasn't the teacher arrived yet?"
"This afternoon is a practical class."
Su Lixia took the initiative to clear up his confusion: "The cultural classes for the Beast Taming Class are the same as regular classes; we have to study the history of the Strange Beast War, the geographical environment of Secret Realms, the biological characteristics of various Pet Beasts, as well as Chinese and mathematics."
"Practical classes are for training various abilities of the Pet Beasts, improving their obedience, and cultivating the rapport between the Beast Tamer and the Pet Beast. Oh, sometimes the cultural classes and practical training classes rotate."
Perhaps because of Yue Yun's righteous intervention, Su Lixia had a very good impression of him and quickly accepted this new classmate.
Pan Xuan suddenly appeared at the door of Beast Taming Class 1.
With his arrival, everyone hurriedly returned to their seats and sat up straight.
Pan Xuan said in a heavy tone: "Students, due to some special reasons, the Pet Beast Pavilion is temporarily unavailable for use."
He emphasized the word "special," his gaze sweeping toward Yue Yun imperceptibly, as he inwardly sighed, 'Monster.'
Everyone let out a groan upon hearing this.
Yue Yun felt a little surprised, but at the same time, quite understanding.
The students in the Beast Taming Class had such high ideological awareness, all striving to possess powerful strength and become high-star Beast Tamers.
It seemed he couldn't fall behind either!
Pan Xuan continued: "Today, you will arrange your own Pet Beast training and the Cultivate of your contract power. Tomorrow afternoon, we will conduct the school opening test as usual."
The students of Beast Taming Class 1 perked up upon hearing this.
The opening test meant a reshuffling of the class rankings, and it also meant that there might be changes in the class personnel.
The capable rise, the mediocre fall.
This was the iron law of the Beast Taming Class at Jianghai Second Middle School!
Seeing everyone looking pumped up, Pan Xuan nodded with satisfaction, his gaze turning to Mo Yu, who was sitting in the back row.
"Mo Yu, come out with me!"
