Chapter 14: Incredulous
Every student in the Beast Taming Class was staring at Ye Xuan with a peculiar look on their faces.
They couldn’t figure out why Ye Xuan would choose an elf as his first beast.
One must know that a Beast Tamer’s first beast wasn’t of much use in the later stages, but during the early stages, it could ensure a Beast Tamer fast leveling.
Hence, almost nobody would choose to sign a contract with a one-star Apprentice-Level beast after awakening their Beast Taming Aptitude.
Otherwise, it was highly likely that they wouldn’t be able to reach the Dark Iron Level in their entire lifetime.
If that were to happen, despite having awakened their Beast Taming Aptitude, universities may not even accept them into their schools.
“How can there be such an irrational person in this world?”
When everyone saw Lil Wan, who was standing on Ye Xuan’s shoulder, and how intimate she was with him, they all guessed that the two had a very profound relationship with each other.
But in spite of that, a Beast Tamer’s beast was something that could decide his fate, so how could he let his emotions interfere with his decision?
“Three groups, huh.”
At that moment, Ye Xuan glanced at the three arenas in the Combat Hall and the students surrounding them, and a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Evidently, when it came to the four-star Amber Dragon beast that would be born in the Amber Secret Realm, these people in the hall had already claimed it.
Unless he backed down, none of the three teams in front of him would accept him into their group.
Tap tap.
At that moment, the sound of high heels click-clacking across the floor came from outside.

“Who is she?”
The students in the Beast Taming Class were surprised when they saw Lin Shiru walk in.
There were only two female teachers in the Beast Taming Class.
This woman, excellent in both temperament and appearance, wasn’t among them.
Seeing Lin Shiru walk into the hall, Nong Lejia smiled and said, “Allow me to introduce her. This is Jiangzhou University’s tutor, Miss Lin Shiru. In the next two months, she will be using the facilities of our class to guide Ye Xuan alone.
“Oh, I think I forgot to mention this. Ye Xuan has been specially recruited by Jiangzhou University. Two months from now, he will officially enter our school.
“Also, if you have any questions during these next two months, if Miss Lin is free, you can also go to her for advice.”
Ye Xuan?
Jiangzhou University’s specially enrolled student?
In the next two months, this tutor from Jiangzhou University would be here to specially guide Ye Xuan, and just him alone?
In the Combat Hall, the students’ mouths dropped wide open in amazement when they heard Nong Lejia say this, and they couldn’t help but turn to look at Ye Xuan.
Just moments before, they’d still been thinking that this might be it for Ye Xuan’s life.
But what was going on now?
Wasn’t this fella’s first contracted beast an Elf?
Could Jiangzhou University have gone mad? Why would they specially enroll a Beast Tamer like him?
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})The crowd was struck by disbelief.
Some were even stupefied.
Even the instructors and assistants of the Beast Taming Class were dumbfounded.
They also hadn’t known about any of this beforehand.
They had been teaching a class when Lin Shiru had arrived.
In order to prevent other universities from recruiting Ye Xuan, Jiangzhou University had carried out all its actions in secret.
The instructor and assistants of the Beast Taming Class had only known that a new Beast Tamer who had just awakened his Beast Taming aptitude would be coming over today.
After all, Nong Lejia had solely arranged this matter from beginning to end.
“You must be Mr. Wu Fuyun? My apologies in advance, as I will have to be here for the next two months. This is a document issued by Yunhai City’s Educational Department.”
Lin Shiru stepped forward, took out a document, and handed it to Wu Fuyun, one of the middle-aged teachers in the hall.
Mr. Wu Fuyun was the classroom teacher in charge of the entire Beast Taming Class.
But at this time, facing Lin Shiru, there was a bitter smile on his face.
The teachers at Jiangzhou University were at least at the Gold Level.
A Silver-Level Beast Tamer like himself had no right to speak to a teacher from Jiangzhou University.
He only roughly glanced at the documents she’d given him before saying with a wide smile on his face, “Hello, Miss Lin. Since you have these documents signed by the Education Department, in the next two months, if you need anything, feel free to contact me.”
“I’ll take you up on that offer, Mr. Wu. Ye Xuan over here has just awakened his Beast Taming aptitude and is unaware of many things. I’m going to teach him the basics now, so I won’t disturb you any longer, Mr. Wu.”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Lin Shiru smiled and nodded. Her posture was not at all overbearing.
“Do whatever you wish, Miss Lin,” Wu Fuyun said immediately.
“Ye Xuan.” After Wu Fuyun left, Lin Shiru turned around, called Ye Xuan, and brought him to a corner of the hall.
“Miss Lin.” Ye Xuan greeted Lin Shiru.
“Mmn.”
Lin Shiru nodded slightly, then looked at Ye Xuan, who was standing in front of her, and said with a smile, “I have great news for you. About your parents’ jobs, our school has already commenced the arrangements.”
“Job arrangements?”
Ye Xuan was shocked for a while.
Although this item was mentioned in the contract, wasn’t Jiangzhou University acting a little too fast?
“Miss Lin, does that mean that my parents are going to move to Jiangzhou City?” he asked after a moment’s thought.
“Of course not,” Lin Shiru said with a smile. “After all, you still have to stay in Yunhai City for another two months. So, we’ve only arranged an easier job for your parents in Yunhai City and signed them up for the adult Warrior Class so they can have time to cultivate their Warrior skills every day.”
There was an adult Warrior Class?
After listening to Lin Shiru’s explanation, Ye Xuan didn’t even know what to say.
He hadn’t told his parents that he had awakened his Beast Taming aptitude.
Even he himself couldn’t imagine how dumbfounded they would be when they met with the people in charge of the arrangements and found out they were from Jiangzhou University.
“Thank you, Miss Lin,” Ye Xuan said in gratitude.
“If you wish to thank me, work harder at your cultivation.”
Lin Shiru had an inexplicable smile on her face. “Geniuses who can conjure two Beast Seeds while at the Apprentice Level are remarkably rare. Therefore, not only me but many people in the academy have high expectations of you.
“We’ve gone through all your records. We know that you’ve been a good, well-mannered boy since childhood. So, draw on that youthful spirit of yours and give it your best!
“I and all the teachers in our university who have great expectations of you will work hard to help you so that you will never forget the next few years.”
Lin Shiru’s smile was beautiful.
But for some unknown reason, at that particular instant, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a little chill run through his body.
“I will!” he solemnly promised.
Some of the students in the Beast Taming Class had started gossiping about Ye Xuan after he and Lin Shiru went to one of the corners of the hall.
“That guy, he must be hiding something. How could someone specially recruited by Jiangzhou University have an Elf as his beast?”
“Huhuh, looks like he’s an arrogant one. I bet the reason he doesn’t want to team up with us is that he has his eyes on that four-star Amber Dragon in the Amber Secret Realm!”
“Haha, if that’s the case, he’s thinking too highly of himself. He’s alone, and he has only just awakened his Beast Taming aptitude. So what if he’s a great genius? Does he think that he can fight against all three groups by himself?”
The crowd animatedly discussed Ye Xuan.
Initially, all of them had been somewhat kind towards Ye Xuan.
But now that they had a conflict of interest, they naturally wouldn’t act the same as before.
At the same time, Wu Fuyun found Nong Lejia. With a bitter smile on his face, he asked, “Nong Lejia, what exactly is going on? I bet you had a tough time hiding all this from us?”
He looked at Ye Xuan, who was standing with Lin Shiru some distance away, and was unable to shake off his surprise.
He couldn’t guess what kind of otherworldly talent Ye Xuan had to be recruited by Jiangzhou University as soon as he awakened his aptitude for Beast Taming.
And even get his own special mentor.
