《Worldwide Beast Taming: The Divine Dragon Went Crazy Because Its Training Was Too Grindy》 Chapter 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Central Continent, Western Mountain Forest. Halfway up the mountain, a white Academy building made of marble emerged from the dense forest. Between the towers, there was a long bridge, and at the top of the towers, there was a floating crystal. In a daze, Charles raised his head from the table and looked around in confusion. This was a place similar to a medieval church lecture hall. On the wooden sign at the front desk, there were a few lines of ancient calligraphy in gold: At the Grinwood Beastmaster Academy. The simple composite wood desk had now become an elegant, heavy black oak table. He had only taken a nap in the University class. How did he suddenly come to this place? ¡°Si si si ¡­¡± Charles felt a sharp pain in his head without warning. At the same time, many non-existent memory fragments flashed in his mind, and the massive amount of information swelled his head. A few seconds later, Charles put down his hand covering his head. The shock in his eyes couldn¡¯t be any greater. He had transmigrated! The development of this world was no different from his original world. The only difference was that this was a world where humans and strange beasts coexisted. Ultra Beasts possessed great power. This power could be their tenacity, sharp fangs, or supernatural abilities, such as the ability to control wind, fire, and lightning. Moreover, if the exotic beasts met the right conditions, they could continue to evolve. In comparison, humans were weak. In ancient times, the demonic beasts that had escaped from the alternate dimension had slaughtered humans on many occasions. That was, until the appearance of the Beastmasters. Beastmasters had unique talents. With the cooperation of the Beastmasters, exotic beasts could grow faster than usual. A small portion of the exotic beasts in the alternate dimension was willing to sign contracts with these humans and become their subdued beasts, using their strength to fight against the demonic beasts that harmed humans while growing on their own. Naturally, being a Beastmaster was a noble profession, but at the same time, it was also a rare one. Most people didn¡¯t have good aptitudes and could only summon fragile subdued beasts or even couldn¡¯t summon them at all. Powerful Beastmasters could be counted on a person¡¯s fingers in the crowd. To increase the number of Beastmasters, Beastmaster schools were set up worldwide. The Beastmaster schools in batches would summon almost all the youths of suitable age to select talented Beastmasters. ¡°Summon Familiar ¡­¡± Charles tried hard to recall. This familiar summoning seemed to have just ended last night. Where¡¯s my familiar? Charles bent down, and sure enough, he saw the light blue creature in the shadow under the seat. He remembered that this guy seemed to hate the sun and hot places. It was summer, so he might as well hide in the shadows and sleep the whole day. Charles took off his coat, wrapped the little creature in it, and put it on the table. The strange beast was awoken from its sweet dream and grunted in dissatisfaction. It had a pair of bat-like wings on its back, and its body was covered with light blue scales. However, the scales were as thin as silk and not particularly hard. Charles didn¡¯t know what kind of creature it was, and no one in the small village where the Academy was located knew it. He only thought that it was some mutant blue bird. After all, in a world where Ultra Beasts roamed, a mutation was not something new. It was a cute little creature, but Charles couldn¡¯t be happy looking at it. After summoning his familiar last night, the familiar¡¯s attack power was tested, and its Rating. The others had summoned all kinds of beasts, some of which could spit fire, some of which could release lightning, and some could throw rocks. However, the little creature could only spit out snowflakes and ice crystals. Because its attack power was too weak, it was rated C Class. It was impossible to count on a familiar of this level to fight. At most, he could rely on his wings and agile movements to be a support-type scout. As for Charles, he had no fate with becoming a combat-type Beastmaster. He could only help from the side. Perhaps he could even chill his teammates¡¯ drinks? Thinking of this, he couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. Suddenly! A strange sound rang out in Charles ¡®mind! [Ding! [Congratulations, host, for binding yourself to the liver King¡¯s self-discipline system!] As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious system panel appeared in front of Charles. This panel had no physical form, and it seemed that only he could see it. ¡°This system is specially designed for Beastmasters. As long as the host and your subdued beast persevere in being self-disciplined every day and complete the system¡¯s missions, you¡¯ll be able to buy the items you need from the system store and have a chance of winning a lucky draw!¡± Following the system¡¯s electronic voice, a huge shopping mall opened in front of Charles. There was a dazzling array of goods inside, and it was unknown how many rows there were. However, most of these items were gray. It seemed that they could only be unlocked after completing some automated tasks. The only item lit up was the [growth potion] in the first column, which cost one autonomous point. The next item was the [evolution stone], which cost two autonomous points. However, it was still in an unlocked state. Charles reached out and closed the system store. Immediately after, a system quest window popped up. A new mission appeared on the mission panel. [Newbie mission: have you seen Grinwood at 4 am? [Host, please wake up at four tomorrow and bring your familiar for a morning run!] [Mission requirement: run five laps around the Academy, no breaks in between!] [Mission reward: five points of self-discipline.] Charles touched his chin thoughtfully when he saw the mission issued by the system. As long as he was self-disciplined and did his tasks well, he would be able to receive a system reward. He knew about this growth potion. It could increase the growth rate of a familiar. If a familiar that was completely identical in every aspect were to fight, the one with the higher growth rate would be able to crush the other. Therefore, the growth potion was in high demand in the outside world. The price had already been raised to thousands or even tens of thousands of Alliance dollars per bottle. He didn¡¯t expect that he would be able to gain self-discipline. Thinking of this, Charles¡¯s original depression was swept away! The first item in the system store was already valuable. The following items were all costly. So what if his exotic beast¡¯s attack power was weak? As long as he could continuously use the precious numinous treasures in the system store to strengthen it, even a C-grade familiar could become a special combat force! Charles was delighted and eager to try. Unfortunately, the current task was to wake up tomorrow. He couldn¡¯t complete it now, so he could only put it on hold. After he understood the system, he was still in a daze. Charles was about to close the system interface. Unexpectedly, his hand swiped, and another page suddenly opened. In the middle of the page was a big button with the words ¡®automatic rating button¡¯. Charles was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect the system to have an automatic rating function. With an attitude that it would be a waste not to try, Charles pressed the button. [Evaluating host¡¯s level, please wait ¡­..] What would his Rating be? The original owner of this body seemed to be the eldest son of a large family. Even before he summoned his familiar, he had much nutritious food daily and a teacher who taught him one-on-one. He was among the top few, even among the best in his family. With this, he should at least be given an A rank. Charles was full of confidence. However, the system¡¯s words made his face instantly drool. [Rating completed!] [Host name: Charles.] [Rating: D!] How was this possible? The system¡¯s rating system was too harsh! [Evaluating familiar¡¯s level, please wait ¡­] Charles couldn¡¯t help but look at Bluebird with sympathy, sleeping under his clothes. According to the system¡¯s level of strictness, if he was D-grade, how high would this guy be? D¨C? After all, it was only a C-grade in the Academy. Unexpectedly, in the next second, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Charles¡¯s mind like a Thunderbolt. ¡°Familiar name: Juvenile Frost Dragon.¡± [Rating: A+] Chapter 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Charles rubbed his eyes. A Frost Dragon! A + grade? Had he summoned a Dragon? He hurriedly covered the young Dragon with his coat and returned to the dormitory. Along the way, he looked left and right. Seeing that no one had noticed him, he finally relaxed. Charles¡¯s palms were slightly sweaty. Dragons were the ceiling-level existences among exotic beasts, the subdued beasts that Beastmasters dreamed of! Due to its outstanding bloodline and overwhelming strength, a blank-faced giant dragon without any special abilities was already enough to make countless nobles and powerful Beastmasters go crazy for it. However, ordinary Dragons were very proud. They would ignore the summons of humans. Only those who were truly talented and one in a million geniuses could receive the favor of the dragon clan. Dragon Tamers were undoubtedly powerful existences as rare as Phoenix Feathers and Qilin horns. Every Dragon Tamer was at least an Overlord of a region. For example, the president of Middle-earth¡¯s Beastmaster Association had a black iron Dragon as his subdued beast. Although this Dragon was a white-colored Dragon without any special abilities, it could look down on its surroundings with its mountain-like body and black iron-like scales. Other powerful Beastmasters wouldn¡¯t even be able to damage a single scale of its. As for Dragons with unique abilities, they were generally fire-attributed Dragons. Besides a legendary Beastmaster, Charles had never seen a Beastmaster who could control a fire-breathing dragon in this world. Fire-breathing dragons usually came to this land as demonic beasts. Charles remembered the bedtime story of the fire-breathing Dragon he had heard as a child. ¡°A thousand years ago, a fire-breathing evil Dragon came to Middle-earth from a different dimension. It destroyed dozens of dynasties and countries of various sizes. In the end, three peak dynasties and ten top-notch Dragon Masters worked together to suppress it. Those three insufferably arrogant peak dynasties gradually declined after that Great War, suffering significant losses. The stories told by adults would always end with, ¡°If you don¡¯t listen, you¡¯ll be taken away by the evil Dragon.¡± However, Charles was sure that the story was true. Because even now, on the ancient battlefield in the southern part of Middle-earth, there was still a high-temperature lava Valley left behind by the Dragon, and no one dared to approach it. Fire dragons were rare. As for Charles¡¯s Dragon, it was an even rarer Frost Dragon. Thinking of the lazy and unapproachable little creature in the dormitory, Charles mumbled, ¡°Sigh, who would¡¯ve thought that once this little thing¡¯s true appearance was revealed to the world, it would cause a bloody storm in Middle-earth.¡± Charles had also fantasized that perhaps he would be invited by an aristocratic family to become a guest of honor and spend all their resources to cultivate him. There was also a marriage alliance. Of course, it was more likely that a tall tree would attract the wind, and those large clans hiding in the world, or top-tier Beastmasters, would personally come to snatch the subdued beasts. It was still unknown if Charles could even keep his life at that time. After a short moment of thinking. Charles decided to hide his identity as a Dragon familiar. Charles didn¡¯t care about the prominent families¡¯ rare treasures and scarce resources because he had the system. No matter how precious and priceless the treasures were on the market, they were just goods with transparent prices in the system store. The most important thing now was to work hard on the system¡¯s missions and improve his strength as soon as possible. The people in the small village might not recognize this Dragon, but that didn¡¯t mean the top-tier Beastmasters in the city wouldn¡¯t recognize it. Charles only hoped that one day when his identity was exposed, he would have enough ability to protect himself and not let others slaughter him or kill him for his beast. However, he didn¡¯t understand the growth of dragons at all. No, it would be better to say that he didn¡¯t understand familiars. It was too late to wait for the school¡¯s explanation. After all, the teachers had never seen a dragon. Charles quickly got up from his dormitory and ran to the Academy¡¯s library. In the top-floor library. ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± Charles took out a thick old book and dusted it off. ¡°It should be this one.¡± There were many books about imperial dragons in the library. After all, the more mysterious it was, the easier it was for people to have wild thoughts. Moreover, those youngsters would all fantasize about summoning a dragon. As such, these books on imperial dragons were the most popular books before summoning exotic beasts. However, after the familiar summoning, very few people looked through it. It was said that the data on the Dragon has derived from the data of the Dragon Tamer¡¯s Dragon and a little analogy. ¡°Let me see.¡± ¡°For a Frost Dragon, from its whelp form to its young form, to its youth form, you need ¡­¡± ¡°A hundred years?¡± Seeing this excessive number, Charles directly shouted out. The people who were reading books around him turned to look at him. For a moment, soft complaints could be heard. Charles quickly covered his mouth and took the book to hide behind the bookshelf. Upon closer inspection, the Dragon¡¯s growth process was highly complicated. The items needed for advancement on the list were not ordinary treasures. Some of them had even disappeared from the market for a long time. A young dragon required a large family to pour in all their wealth and resources, and through the hard work of several generations of Beastmasters before it could become an adult dragon familiar. No wonder it was said that only the great clans could afford to raise a familiar like a dragon. But Charles didn¡¯t have that much time. It would take a hundred years for it to become a young dragon; by that time, he might have already died. ¡°Ahem, system, is there any way to increase the growth rate of a familiar quickly?¡± Charles asked tentatively. [Ding! [The host¡¯s request has been detected!] [The system has changed to hellish training mode!] [In this mode, it will take at least half a year for the embryonic form of the frost Dragon to grow into a young body!] Half a year! Charles was shocked! However, before he could be happy ¡­ Charles watched the system¡¯s task of running five laps around the Academy¡­ A zero was added. Run 50 laps! Moreover, he added a thousand push-ups and had the frost Dragon Whelp freeze a pond. The time limit was one day! What the f*ck? Charles¡¯s vision darkened, and he almost fainted. Was the system trying to exhaust him and his familiar to death? Hell training was indeed worthy of its name. However, even though it was abnormal, the effect was pronounced. Charles looked at the battle data on the Dragon taming book before him. The combat power of a familiar was closely related to its growth, just like the levels in games. He would need to light up four chakras in half a year to advance from a whelp to a young body Dragon. However, with just these four chakras, this Frost Dragon was enough to crush the three adult familiars of the headmaster of Grinwood Academy, who had seven chakras. Even if the three familiars attacked together, they would still be no match for the frost Dragon. To be able to become the principal of a Beast Tamer College, his subdued beasts weren¡¯t ordinary. One was a [A] class, and two were [B+]. This was a luxurious lineup in a big city outside the village. However, the difference in bloodline and race determined the natural gap in combat power, which could not be made up later. Moreover, the higher the level, the more pronounced the gap was. ¡°We¡¯ll do it!¡± Charles gritted his teeth. Self-discipline could make one stronger. This was something other Beastmasters couldn¡¯t imagine. Moreover ¡­ Charles¡¯s eyes moved down, and stared at the last line of small words in the system mission introduction. [If you can evolve your familiar into a young man within half a year, you will receive a chance at the Dragon familiar roulette!] [There¡¯s a 5% chance of drawing a Golden Dragon!] Chapter 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After that, Charles searched for a long time in the Imperial Dragon books, but the contents were mostly the same, and there was no unique information. It was already Ten O¡¯clock at night when he returned to the dormitory. At night. ¡°Go to bed early. We still have to watch grinwood at four in the morning tomorrow.¡± Charles made the bed with a bitter face. Under the bedside cabinet, the young Frost Dragon had already fallen asleep in the shadow. It was impossible to associate such a small body with a mountain-like Dragon, so it was no wonder that no one could recognize it. ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Suddenly, a gust of evil wind came into the room! Charles¡¯s body froze, and he immediately became alert. The window by the bed was wide open, and the wind blew the curtains into the room. Under the bright moon, the black silhouettes of two men were leaning against the window. The two stood there without moving, but their pressure made Charles understand they were experts. We are killing intent! Traces of killing intent, like the tongue of a venomous snake, came out from the face of the man on the left. The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped by a few degrees. ¡°Charles, your summoning ritual ended yesterday, right?¡± The man on the right strolled to the middle of the room. Under the candlelight, the man revealed a gentle smile, but the smile on his face was fake, giving people a very hypocritical feeling. ¡°What¡¯s the rating of your familiar?¡± He ignored him. Charles saw the Dragon Claw-shaped button on the man¡¯s sleeve from the corner of his eye and recognized him. This was a member of his clan. The clan¡¯s way of growing up was sending out all their direct descendants to train independently. After ten years, they would be summoned back to the clan to fight one on one with familiars. The strong occupied the upper position and controlled the household! The weak would be inferior and become slaves! It was a simple rule. The weak were prey to the strong. This was a family rule that no one could escape. Those who disobeyed this rule would be executed regardless of their status! ¡°Charles, rating.¡± The man saw that Charles didn¡¯t say anything and repeated. Charles stared at him and diverted his attention. He quietly used his body to block where the frost dragon whelp was sleeping. ¡°Ice-type, C-Class ¡­¡± ¡°Chi!¡± Before he could finish his sentence, the man on the left suddenly attacked. With a flick of his wrist, a silver dagger was pointed at Charles¡¯s throat! ¡°C Class? Trash, I don¡¯t think we need to wait another nine years for you. You¡¯ll be executed on the spot according to the family rules!¡± Charles¡¯s figure retreated rapidly, and the blade grazed his neck. He felt a few hairs on his neck being cut off by the blade. ¡°Eton, don¡¯t go too far.¡± The man on the right said. The dagger stopped and hovered in front of Charles¡¯s throat, licking his skin. Make a fuss? Charles sneered in his heart. The man just now was going to kill him. If his reaction had been a little slower, he would have been a corpse by now. The man on the right still had a kind smile on his face. ¡°Charles, we¡¯re just following the procedure to understand your progress. You can continue with your training. But ¡­¡± The man changed the topic, and his tone became a little cold. ¡°You have to be careful. After all, the weak can¡¯t survive in the family.¡± ¡°¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The window was closed. When Charles went to the window to check, the two figures had already disappeared. ¡°The clan.¡± Charles repeated. He touched his neck and thought to himself. Charles had been thinking about a question. Why was he sent to such a small village to learn about familiars when he was born into a big family? Wasn¡¯t this in line with the clan¡¯s philosophy of expanding and becoming more assertive? Now that he thought about it, there was only one possibility. He had been framed. In that cold family, there was no warmth between family members, only mutual deception and open and secret fights. The original owner was a dark horse in the family, so he would probably attract a lot of hostility and jealousy. Someone had arranged for him to be sent to a village with scarce resources so that he could defeat Charles in the family¡¯s internal competition ten years later or even kill him in one go! The original owner of this body must have been depressed in such a situation, and he was rated as a class C in the summoning ceremony last night, which was a massive blow to him. At the thought of this, Charles felt a little regretful. If the original owner knew that he had summoned a giant dragon, he wondered what he would think. He would probably survive. However, what if they survived? in the end, these juniors were just tools used to expand the power in the eyes of the family elders. There had never been any kinship in the family itself. Why did Charles need to discuss friendships with those people and be manipulated? ¡°I¡¯ll return to the clan in ten years, too. However, I won¡¯t be returning as the clan¡¯s new Beastmaster but as a top-tier Dragon Master.¡± Under the moonlight, Charles looked into the distance with a blank expression. ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ Four in the morning. The empty field of the Grinwood Academy. Charles was dressed in simple sportswear and was running around the academy. The wind whistled in his ears, the leaves rustled, and Charles¡¯s footsteps startled many birds resting on the branches. They rushed out of the forest and circled in the sky, chirping softly as if they didn¡¯t understand why someone would run so hard to exercise at this time. A Frost Dragon Whelp accompanied him. Perhaps it was because it had been sleeping the entire day, but the young dragon was not tired. Instead, it was very energetic, and its big eyes were bright and full of spirit. ¡°Hu hu hu~Hu~~~~~~~the ninth lap~~~~.¡± Charles was already out of breath, and his sportswear was already drenched in sweat. In this world where the strong ruled, strength was the true eternal power. The most important thing now was to get the reward and improve his strength. On the 20th lap. The scene before Charles was already a little blurry, and his consciousness had also been pulled out. His whole body swayed as if he was about to fall. He miraculously made it past thirty laps. After 40 laps, his vision turned black, and his body was numb. He couldn¡¯t feel any pain anymore. Finally ¡­ Charles rushed past the end point of the 50th lap. He bent over and took in deep breaths of air. He realized the sky was already bright when he raised his head again. ¡°Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang¡± The echo of the morning bell reverberated throughout the campus. The light of dawn shone from the horizon. [Congratulations! [Basic mission completed: Grinwood at 4 am!] [You¡¯ve been rewarded with 30 discipline points!] On the system¡¯s interface, 30 points of self-discipline value were displayed. Back at the dormitory. Charles opened the system store. There was only one item available for purchase. ¡°I¡¯ll use 30 self-discipline points to buy the growth potion!¡± Before he finished his words. A large pile of glass bottles appeared out of thin air on the table in front of Charles. They were filled with sparkling orange liquid. ¡°Quick, drink it now. If anyone sees this big pile of potions, they¡¯ll think I¡¯ve robbed the potion shop.¡± On the other hand, the frost Dragon whelp didn¡¯t need Charles¡¯s reminder. It jumped onto the table, picked up the glass bottle, and gulped big mouthfuls. [Ding! [Congratulations, host! Your familiar, the frost Dragon whelp, has been promoted to tier two of the lineage!] The system¡¯s voice sounded. The frost Dragon whelp¡¯s body emitted a faint glow, which lasted for a while before gradually dimmed. Charles found that it seemed more prominent than before, and its scales were harder and shinier. At the same time, Charles also clearly felt that his body had become more robust and his muscles were whole. All the fatigue from before had been swept away! As expected, the strengthening of a subdued beast could be fed back to The Beastmaster! Charles was thrilled but also a little surprised. If other first-tier familiars drank this growth potion, they would only need one bottle to reach second-tier. He didn¡¯t expect the young Frost Dragon had drunk 30 bottles of the potion before it reached Tier 2. What a terrifying appetite! After breakfast, the empty grounds of Grinwood Academy. The principal stood in the middle of the field, and front of him were students standing in an orderly manner. ¡°I have an important announcement to make.¡± The moment he said that. The empty field instantly fell silent. Many pairs of eyes were focused on the principal¡ªtheir first time participating in a school activity since they summoned their familiars. The principal cleared his throat and said,¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone knows that the beast taming school has an annual evaluation. It concerns the school¡¯s honor, students, and my income.¡± ¡°In half a year, our Grinwood beast college will participate in the battle to keep us in the top 10.¡± ¡°The last time, our score was still C+.¡± When the principal said this, it was as if he had been hit on a sad matter and was a little excited. ¡°Ahem, to prepare for the exam, the school has decided to hold a battle ranking competition every week. All Beastmasters have to participate. The one who succeeds will receive a precious ice crystal from the snow Mountain of the Jade Dragon. It contains growth factors. If you melt it into the water and consume it, its effects will be comparable to a third of a bottle of growth potion ¡­¡± The moment he said that the students immediately went into an uproar! One-third of a bottle of growth potion! This was a generous reward that had never been seen before. If he were to melt it and let his familiar drink it, it would be equivalent to a month¡¯s worth of hard work! ¡°Ah, ah, ah, I¡¯m determined to get it!¡± ¡°The principal is generous!¡± ¡°Hurry, hurry up and train!¡± Charles was drinking sugar water under the shade of a tree and wasn¡¯t very interested. As long as he could stick to self-discipline every day, he would be able to drink one bottle of growth potion after another! However ¡­ Just as the principal took out the tiny ice crystal from the container ¡­ The originally listless Ice Frost Dragon whelp beside him suddenly seemed to have sensed something and cried out in excitement! Chapter 4 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Charles was shocked by the reaction of the frost Dragon whelp. From what the principal said, the ice crystals on the Jade Dragon snow did not seem to be any exceptionally high-grade spirit herbs. However, at this moment, the desire revealed in the eyes of the frost Dragon whelp was even more potent than the desire it had when it faced the table full of growth potions! ¡°Could it be that the ice crystals of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain have a special effect on the frost Dragons?¡± Charles thought to himself. He still believed in this statement. The frost Dragon whelp had just been born, so it had not seen this ice crystal before. In other words, it subconsciously thought that this ice crystal was a good thing. It was just like how human babies would look for breast milk when they were born and how children would want to eat delicious and juicy food when they saw it. All living creatures naturally sought advantages and avoided disadvantages. If this thing were good for them, it would inexplicably attract them. Charles quickly returned to his dormitory and took out the Dragon taming manual he had just borrowed from the library. As expected, in the column ¡°Dragon taming¡¯s upgrade and growth¡±, he found ¡°Extreme cold snow Mountain Ice crystal among the vast number of upgrade items.¡± ¡°The ice crystals on the icy snow Mountain. They stay deep in the glaciers and don¡¯t melt for thousands of years. It can be used to upgrade the Dragon Crystal of an ice-type Dragon ¡­¡± Charles Read it out word by word. To upgrade a familiar, one needed to light up their chakra. Generally speaking, each familiar had nine Meridian cycles, and each Meridian cycle was further divided into nine levels. The frost Dragon Whelp was currently a Tier 2 lineage. It could be said that its current rank was deficient. Each lit chakra could be embedded with a beast crystal. In other words, a familiar could be embedded with eight beast crystals. This was because the first chakra of a familiar was naturally bright, and there was a beast crystal on it, which was the familiar¡¯s life-bound beast crystal. For example, Charles¡¯s familiar, the young Frost Dragon, had a Life Crystal called ¡°Frost Dragon Crystal.¡± It was an extremely high-quality orange beast crystal, but it was only level one. This was also why Charles¡¯ Frost Dragon whelp could only spray out snowflakes with minimal attack power. The freezing snow Mountain ice crystals were one of the necessary materials to upgrade the Dragon crystal! Charles continued to read. ¡°To upgrade the Dragon Crystal from level one to level two, I need three ice crystals from the extreme cold snow Mountain, ten condensed beads with the bloodline of an ice-type exotic beast, and a familiar with the strength of at least level four of a bloodline ¡­¡± ¡°I see.¡± He organized his thoughts. ¡°The ice crystal from the snow Mountain of Jade Dragon will be obtained from the Academy¡¯s ranking competition this weekend. As for the beast hunting training in the demonic beast forest, it will be organized by the Academy the day after tomorrow.¡± ¡°In other words, the most important thing now is to continue upgrading the frost Dragon whelp level. It has to be at least at the level of Tier 4. It seems I must hurry up and continue the self-discipline missions.¡± Charles¡¯s eyes were fixed on the ice crystal diagram of the snow Dragon Mountain on the Dragon taming manual. He was determined to get first place in the Academy ranking competition. ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ In the afternoon, the empty grounds of the Grinwood Academy. ¡°Students, I¡¯m sure everyone already knows that in preparation for the inter-school ranking competition this weekend, we¡¯ll be organizing a trip to the demonic beast forest behind the Academy the day after tomorrow to undergo Beast Training!¡± A middle-aged man in a Beastmaster¡¯s uniform was pacing in front of the students. A row of students in front of him was standing in an orderly manner. On their shoulders and feet were subdued beasts, focused on the battle like their Masters. Charles was one of them. Hearing the middle-aged man¡¯s words, the students all revealed excited expressions, discussing in low voices. The subdued beasts at the side were also eager to try, and some even started barking. ¡°Quiet, quiet!¡± The middle-aged man said in a deep voice. After the crowd quieted down, he continued,¡± ¡°Everyone, I understand how you feel right now, but there are some things I must say first.¡± ¡°The demonic beast forest is dangerous. Don¡¯t think that this is a hunting game. There is no clear conclusion as to who the hunter and prey are. What you¡¯re going to face next are demonic beasts! It was the demonic beast that had forced humanity into extinction several times! Our ancestors used to be their food, just like pigs, cattle, and sheep, food that couldn¡¯t fight back at all!¡± His words deeply shocked the Beastmasters present. No one was laughing anymore. Many people put away their previous smiles and listened quietly. ¡°Even now, there are cases of students being injured or dead almost yearly.¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s expression was solemn. ¡°So, students, I hope you will seriously listen to the Academy¡¯s arrangements. Don¡¯t cause any more trouble, and don¡¯t go deep into the forest.¡± ¡°Most demonic beasts on the outskirts of the forest are low-level demonic beasts. Even if there are accidents, our teachers will take care of them in time. The deeper we go, the higher the level of the demonic beasts, the more aggressive they are, and the more dangerous they are. Although the demonic beast forest isn¡¯t big, it¡¯s hard to say if there are any extremely terrifying existences. Even the teachers can¡¯t fight against demonic beasts.¡± ¡°Everyone, did you hear that?¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Everyone answered in unison. ¡°Very good,¡± he said. The middle-aged Beastmaster nodded. ¡°To ensure everyone¡¯s safety, we¡¯ll move in groups. Now, let¡¯s split into groups, Charles!¡± ¡°Here.¡± Charles raised his hand. ¡°You, come over.¡± The middle-aged man brought Charles to the two male students. These two students looked more mature than the newbies. On their shoulders, there was a fiery red lizard. Their flame-like crowns were full of sharp spikes, looking wild and aggressive. ¡°These two are the fire lizard brothers. They are our Academy¡¯s senior students.¡± The middle-aged man introduced, ¡°Charles, I¡¯ve seen the results of your familiar test. Your blue mutant bird¡¯s attack power is too low and can only be used as support. It can¡¯t provide any combat power, so it¡¯s not appropriate to put it in the rookie group. You can follow these two senior students into the monster forest and help them. It¡¯s relatively safer.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Charles replied calmly. After the middle-aged Beastmaster said that, he hurried back to group up the other newbie Beastmasters. The fire lizard brothers extended their hands to Charles. ¡°Nice to meet you. I¡¯m John, and this is Johnny.¡± ¡°Charles,¡± Charles shook hands with them and planned to return to complete his mission after exchanging pleasantries. Unexpectedly, the two brothers were very enthusiastic. ¡°Then, Charles,¡± John said with a smile, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the arena now and test your specific combat ability. We¡¯ll understand your combat data. ¡± ¡°This way, when we enter the forest in the future, we can make a reasonable arrangement for our team members.¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In the arena of the Grinwood Academy. ¡°Are we going to fight?¡± Charles asked. The two brothers, Jon and Johnny, looked at each other and laughed in unison. ¡°No, no, no. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t control my strength. You¡¯ll get hurt.¡± ¡°After all, we¡¯re old students. We¡¯ve already forgotten our strength when we first summoned our familiars.¡± As he spoke, Jon opened a warehouse. He saw rows and rows of rice people neatly arranged inside. Someone had drawn different numbers of stars on these insignificant people. Some had one, some had two, and most had five. ¡°This is a combat training doll that the principal spent a huge sum of money to buy. It¡¯s suitable for low-level combat training.¡± John explained, ¡°The stars represent the strength of their abilities. My fire lizard is at the second tier of the second Meridian, and it can barely defeat four-star paddies. Johnny¡¯s fire lizard is a rank 1 two lineage. It¡¯ll be hard to deal with a 4-star Grassman, but it¡¯ll be easy to win against a 3-star Grassman. ¡± On the other side, Johnny had already carried a two-star commoner out. ¡°How about trying this?¡± John hesitated for a moment and quickly waved his hand. ¡°Are you crazy? Only a fifth-tier familiar from the same lineage can defeat a two-star Grassman!¡± Charles didn¡¯t have any objections. He also wanted to know how robust his 2nd rank Frost Dragon whelp was. Although it had a low starting point, Charles could feel that this Dragon¡¯s growth speed was terrifying! It was only a single level up, but his abilities in all aspects had increased several times. Holding the straw doll, John insisted on using a 2-star straw doll. ¡°With us by his side, Charles will be fine.¡± In the arena. It was an eye-opener for Charles. After being injected with some energy, the eyes of the Paddy man, which were initially made of two small rough stones, suddenly shot out two rays of light! In the next second, a gust of wind mixed with the dust of straw blew past. The wooden stick under the Paddy man made a sharp, ear-piercing sound of friction on the ground. It stretched out a finger formed by ten sharp thorns and attacked the frost Dragon whelp! Although the Paddy man¡¯s body was light, its strength was unexpectedly great. The sharp spike collided with the Dragon¡¯s scales. The frost Dragon whelp could not react in time and was directly sent flying! So fast! At the very least, he would not be able to react in time! Charles was worried about the young Frost Dragon¡¯s injury and quickly looked where it had fallen. Fortunately, the Dragon scales that had been upgraded were even more rigid. The frost Dragon whelp crawled up from the dust and let out an angry cry, but it did not seem to be affected. In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Claw and the sharp spike collided again! The young Dragon and the straw man went head to head. After a long breath, half of the straw man¡¯s face was immediately covered in a layer of frost. Charles was surprised that the young Dragon¡¯s frost ability had strengthened so much! Then, it swung its tail in a flash! The Paddy man was sent flying. However, it stood straight and charged forward again as if it had no feeling. After more than ten rounds. The Paddy man¡¯s energy was finally exhausted. It lay on the ground and no longer moved. As for the frost Dragon whelp, it had also reached its limit. It had won, but it did not have the energy to celebrate. Instead, it lay down on the stage, exhausted. A narrow victory. Charles quickly ran over and brought it down. It seemed that the frost Dragon¡¯s strength had already reached the level of an ordinary Tier 5 familiar. However, in the battle, the Dragon relied on its strong physical fitness and hard scales, and its unique ability didn¡¯t work. ¡°I need to upgrade the Dragon Crystal,¡± Charles thought. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is this a defective product?¡± John frowned as he fiddled with the two-star insignificant person. He injected more energy into it, and the Paddy man stood up. It extended its sharp spikes and attacked the fire lizard in front of it without any emotion. However, the fire lizard did not move an inch under this attack! On the other hand, the rice straw doll¡¯s hand was already broken into pieces. Charles was slightly surprised. He didn¡¯t expect a Tier 2 familiar to be this strong. The two-star Paddy man that put the frost Dragon in a tough fight earlier was as weak as an infant in front of it! The red fire lizard opened its mouth and indifferently spat out a bright red tongue of fire. Instant kill! The Paddy man fell to the ground while emitting black smoke. ¡°How is it? Is it the combat strength of an ordinary two-star insignificant person?¡± Johnny asked. The Scarlet Fire lizard called out lazily. ¡°It said, too weak, I can¡¯t feel it.¡± Charles was speechless. John patted Charles¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Even if this 2-star insignificant person¡¯s strength has declined due to old wear and tear, it¡¯s still above the level of a 1-star insignificant person.¡± ¡°Your strength is slightly better than we thought. You can join the battle at an appropriate time the day after tomorrow. You don¡¯t have to be a support throughout the battle.¡± ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ In the afternoon. In a small forest on the west side of the empty field, Grinwood Beastmaster Academy. ¡°233,234,235¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡± Charles gritted his teeth and did push-ups with great effort. Sweat slowly hung from his cheeks to his chin and dripped into the soil. It disappeared in a short while. The soil in front of Charles had been soaked and softened by the sweat. One thousand push-ups, the first few, were relatively easy to do, but as he went on, every one of them was in so much pain that he would rather die. His face was red, and his wrist joints creaked, making strange sounds. Even so, he still insisted on doing push-ups. ¡°374,375,376¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡± The young couples dating in the forest looked at Charles strangely, as if he was a weirdo. Charles had to admit that what had happened in the morning had triggered him. He realized that the difference in level brought about a huge gap in strength. On the other side, by a small pond not far away. After a noon nap, the frost Dragon whelp had recovered its energy and was now desperately spitting out cold air, snowflakes, and ice crystals into the pond. There was already an area of water that was neither big nor small, frozen solid by the frost Dragon whelp. Gradually. The frost Dragon whelp had exhausted too much of its unique ability and was extremely tired. However, it continued to cast its frost unique ability towards the pond, trying to freeze it completely! The dragon clan was proud. After the battle in the morning, its pride would not allow such a thing to happen again. The man and the Dragon had reached a strange consensus and were madly working on the system¡¯s autonomous missions! Finally ¡­ When the bell in the evening rang ¡­ [Ding! [Congratulations to the host and your familiars for completing today¡¯s self-disciplined mission!] Chapter 6 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After completing the self-disciplined mission, the system gave out a reward. [Ding! Congratulations to the Host! [Obtained 50 self-discipline points!] It was the same as last time. Charles used all the self-discipline points in the dormitory to exchange for growth potions in the mall. He exchanged for a total of 50 bottles. Charles placed the potion on the table. The frost Dragon Whelp picked up a few bottles, bit open the cap with its sharp teeth, and gulped it down. The potion of growth was like a reward for his self-discipline. It was lovely. Looking at the orange liquid in the glass bottle, Charles felt that the growth potion should taste good. If it weren¡¯t for humans¡¯ inability to drink it, he would want to try it. [Ding! [Congratulations, Host! Your familiar, the frost Dragon Whelp, has been upgraded to Tier 3 of the lineage!] Following the system¡¯s notification, specks of fluorescent light floated around the frost Dragon whelp. At the same time, Charles also felt that his strength and endurance had increased significantly. The discomfort in his arms and chest that were originally sore had also disappeared! The muscles on his body were well-proportioned and smooth, and his muscle density had also increased a lot. Other than that, he realized that he had been strengthened in another way. That was the eyes! To be more precise, it was the dynamic vision. Charles could already accurately predict their trajectories with the birds outside the window and the fallen leaves in the distance. If he were to look at the two-star Grassman¡¯s attack now, he would probably be able to see the other party¡¯s every move. Although he still looked like a teenager, if two burly men came to find trouble with him, he could defeat them without any injuries. The light dimmed and disappeared. Charles felt that the frost Dragon whelp was even more handsome than before. Its vertical pupils shone with a faint blue luster, and its gem-like scales reflected its broad wings. However, it was still in the form of a young dragon, and its appearance had not changed much. Its body size had not reached the stage of rapid growth. After the ice Frost Dragon whelp completed its advancement. The system issued another self-disciplined mission. [Ding! [Tomorrow¡¯s self-disciplined mission has been released!] [Host¡¯s mission: please frog-jump 50 times around the small forest! Seven hundred pull-ups! [Undefeated in 20 battles with 1-star Grassman!] [Beast taming mission: 50 consecutive victories against 4-star Grassman! Destroy a large rock in the middle of the forest! [A hot spring sealed in ice!] He looked at the devil-like training mission in front of him. Charles sighed in his heart. This was no longer a task that ordinary people could complete! Twenty consecutive wins against a one-star paddy-man? Was he going to train him like an exotic beast? Perhaps only Charles, who had strengthened his body twice, could complete this task. ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ The next day. The morning bell had yet to ring, and the entire Academy was still in a deep sleep. A young figure in the small forest was stepping on the falling maple leaves, sweating like rain! ¡°The ¡­ Thirteenth lap ¡­¡± Charles was so tired that he saw stars. He felt like a circle of stars was spinning above his head. At the same time, he felt a tearing pain in his inner thigh. The pain of frog jumping could only be understood by jumping! In the middle of the forest. ¡°Clang~clang~~ The sound of metal hitting stone reverberated in the forest. The ice Frost Dragon whelp used its sharp claws and tail to hit the rock in front of it. At the same time, he looked at the three-meter tall stone in front of him. It wanted to curse. Do you call this a rock? This was a stone mountain! The man and the Dragon began their day of self-discipline early in the morning. The figure who was working hard looked like a young man. The principal got up early and looked at the two young and struggling figures. He could not help but stroke his beard. ¡°This young man can do it. He¡¯s poor, but his ambitions are not.¡± ¡°Although he only managed to summon a C-Class familiar, he didn¡¯t give up on himself. Instead, he worked hard to make up for his natural deficiencies.¡± ¡°He¡¯s like me back in my old days ¡­¡± More than ten hours passed by in a flash. In the arena. ¡°Ha!¡± Charles raised his leg and kicked the one-star insignificant person in the face! The straw doll was sent flying and fell to the ground. The light in its eyes gradually dissipated. Meanwhile, on the stage in front of Charles. There were twenty one-star Paddy men densely packed together. They had all exhausted their energy and were stacked on each other without moving. ¡°Finally ¡­ It¡¯s done!¡± Charles was so excited that he almost cried. ¡°Gugu ¡­¡± The frost Dragon whelp walked over with a bloody nose and a swollen face. It was holding a four-star Paddy man in its claws. It raised its hand and threw the Paddy man not far away. There, 50 four-star insignificant people were lying on the ground. This was already all of the inventory of the Grinwood Academy. Today¡¯s self-discipline was finally over! [Ding! [Congratulations, Host! For completing the day¡¯s self-disciplined mission, you are rewarded with 80 self-disciplined points!] ¡°Exchange all of them for growth potions.¡± Charles said lightly. After consuming the 80-pound growth potion, the frost Dragon had successfully advanced to Tier 4! His fatigue and pain were swept away, and Charles¡¯s body was strengthened again. And most importantly, they just happened to reach the level required to upgrade the Dragon Crystal before entering the monster forest the next day. ¡°It¡¯s done. Let¡¯s go and eat! ¡°He said. Charles patted his butt and walked out of the arena. Suddenly, his body froze. That was because the frost Dragon whelp was not moving at all. It looked at the arena with bright eyes. Charles turned around and walked back to the arena, following its gaze. He found that its eyes were looking at a particular place in the warehouse. That was the place where the five-star Grassman was stored! ¡°What do you want to try?¡± Charles laughed as he lifted a five-star rice straw doll onto the stage. ¡°Coo!¡± The frost Dragon Whelp responded firmly and leaped onto the arena as well. He injected his energy into the five-star straw doll! The five-star straw doll in Charles¡¯s hand disappeared almost at the same time he injected the energy! So fast! It was simply too fast! Even though Charles had been enhanced three times, he still couldn¡¯t see the movements of the Paddy men. He could only see a series of shadows intertwining on the stage and filling the air as if the figures of the Paddy men were everywhere! At the same time, the flickering lightning and the occasional tongues of fire on the stage showed that this five-star Grassman did not only possess a conventional weapon like the spiked armor. It also had a unique ability! All kinds of attacks were thrown at the frost Dragon whelp in the arena for a time. There was lightning, ice, fire ¡­ No matter what attribute your familiar was. The five-star Paddy man had a way to counter it! Under such a fierce attack, the frost Dragon whelp seemed to be able to take the hit as it dodged the attacks with its agile body. Seeing this scene, Charles secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, in the next second, there was a sudden change! The Paddy man seemed to have understood the attributes of the familiar and chose an attribute attack that countered it. In an instant, a ball of fire burst out of its body, and it charged toward the frost Dragon whelp! Charles¡¯s heart was in his throat. However, the frost Dragon whelp did not seem to care. It spat out a long Dragon breath with ice flowers, which attached to its body and formed an Ice armor. Immediately after, it also charged toward the burning Paddy man. A dull sound followed it. The Paddy man¡¯s body was covered in black smoke as it spun and fell from the sky, exhausted of energy. Instant kill! Chapter 7 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The next morning. The group of people passed through the small forest superbly and set off towards the distant forest. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m here to bring you all to review the types of exotic beasts in the demonic beast forest and what you can get.¡± The middle-aged Beastmaster raised his voice, ensuring that everyone could hear him. ¡°Demonic beasts and subdued beasts are enemies and of the same origin. The demonic beasts in the demonic beast forest also light up their chakras to level up.¡± ¡°The outskirts of the demonic beast forest are filled with low-tier exotic beasts. We can hunt them if we¡¯re careful.¡± ¡°As for going deeper, that¡¯s where only senior students can go. New students shouldn¡¯t go there, or it¡¯ll be dangerous.¡± ¡°If you kill the beasts, you can get their natal beast crystals, vein essence beads, demonic beast blood essence, and so on. You can also get a certain growth bonus ¡­¡± The middle-aged Beastmaster spoke non-stop the entire time. Charles thought to himself as he listened. Although the frost Dragon whelp could quickly kill the 5-star Grassman yesterday, it still relied on its hard scales and immense strength to settle the battle. Its frost ability was still too weak and could not be compared to the fire ability of the two red fire lizards. Therefore, the most important thing now was to collect the materials to upgrade the life-bound Dragon crystal and strengthen the frost ability! On this trip, he needed to collect at least ten ice-type vein essence condensed beads to meet the needs of the frost Dragon¡¯s life-bound beast crystal. Moreover, the quality of these condensed beads could not be too low. They had to be at least the condensed beads of a two-Meridian beast. In the morning, Charles¡¯s group finally arrived at the outskirts of the monster forest. The group was divided into twenty-one groups, eight of which were new students and twelve of which were senior students. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s split up,¡± The instructors gave the order, and the long line immediately broke up. Charles and the others also walked into the forest. ¡°Charles, you¡¯re quite lucky. If you follow the team of our senior students, you can go a little deeper, and you¡¯ll get more rewards.¡± John said with a smile. The red fire-lizard on his shoulder was lazily bored. The general cold-blooded animals were like this. The external heat source maintained their body temperature. Once they entered the shade of the forest, their body temperature would drop, and their body would become weak. However, the red fire lizard could start a fire, so its strength wouldn¡¯t decrease in battle. It would just be lazy when it had nothing to do. Johnny spread out a map and pointed at a place on it. ¡°This place is called the Hauthrund Grotto. The underground river borders the grotto¡¯s interior, and two heavens of Ice and Fire are inside. It¡¯s a very spectacular sight. And among them, there are a large number of ice-type and fire-type exotic beasts, just enough to meet our needs.¡± The three of them arrived at the Hauthrund cave and saw a large river flowing out of the cave. The right bank of the river was frozen, while the left bank was burning. They had no idea how such a magical landscape was formed. ¡°Roar!¡± Just as he was thinking about this, a rank five lineage red-eyed fire baboon caught a whiff of the trio¡¯s aura and charged with a roar. ¡°You came just in time!¡± Charles¡¯s eyes lit up, and he was about to step forward, but a red figure was faster than him. It spewed out hot flames, and the baboon was instantly buried in the fire. Charles sighed. Compared to relying on brute force, it was much faster to rely on abilities to fight! Within the ashes, a fiery-red beast crystal shone. It was the life Crystal of a red-eyed fire baboon. It was green in quality, three grades lower than the frost Dragon¡¯s Orange crystal. John handed the crystal of the fire baboon to Johnny. ¡°Johnny, you¡¯ve just lit up your second chakra and haven¡¯t embedded a beast crystal. You can embed this fire baboon¡¯s beast crystal first. At least it¡¯s better than nothing,¡± Johnny nodded and took the beast crystal. The contract token appeared in his hand. The beast crystal slowly floated into the body of the red fire lizard, and the light disappeared in a flash. Johnny¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I¡¯m lucky. This beast crystal has a skill. The green skill, roar, can increase attack power for a short time.¡± Listening to their conversation, Charles began to think. His Frost Dragon would probably be able to light up its second chakra soon. When that time came, he¡¯d better prepare a high-quality beast crystal in advance and embed it in the second chakra. Next, the three fought and ran, killing several demonic beasts. However, these demonic beasts were either fire or ice-type, but their levels were not high enough that Charles couldn¡¯t use them. Seeing that it was already afternoon, he was a little anxious. ¡°Aooo!¡± A long and narrow howl of a Wolf resounded through the cave, followed by a swift figure leaping onto a stone and staring at Charles and the others. ¡°A second Meridian first order Snow Wolf. This isn¡¯t easy to deal with. Be careful.¡± John said in a deep voice. However, Charles was delighted to hear it was a rank 1-second bloodline. For a moment, he didn¡¯t hear what John said. He ordered, ¡°Kill it!¡± The frost Dragon whelp flapped its wings and charged forward like a meteor! At the same time, the snow Wolf raised its sharp claws covered in icicles and ruthlessly swatted at the frost Dragon whelp. ¡°Charles, don¡¯t go! This is a second bloodline beast. You can¡¯t do it!¡± John cried out in surprise. Johnny saw the snow wolf¡¯s paw coming at him and closed his eyes. However, in the next second. The sharp claws slapped on the armored Dragon¡¯s scales, but it didn¡¯t hurt it at all! The ice Frost Dragon whelp spread its vast wings and swooped down, crashing into its chest. The Dragon¡¯s strength was not proportional to its size. The snow wolf, twice its size, was directly flying by the frost Dragon whelp. It crashed into a rock and instantly lost its life. When the two brothers, Jon and Johnny, saw this scene, their minds went blank. Countless question marks floated before their eyes. What¡¯s going on? Why is it that this subdued beast is already strong enough to defeat a two-lineage exotic beast in just two days? Didn¡¯t they say it was a C-Class rating? From the looks of it now, even if it were to fight against his red fire lizard, it would still be on par! However, they didn¡¯t have the time to ask in detail about the current situation, so they could only temporarily suppress their questions. Seeing the snow Wolf fall, Charles ran over and picked it up. There was indeed a vein essence condensed bead. It was not a big ball, but it was as clear as water, and there were faint ice flowers on it. Suddenly, he felt his body hit by the frost Dragon whelp and fell to one side. At the same time, a wolf claw slashed before him, almost splitting his skin and flesh. Charles finally realized that another snow wolf had ambushed him! At this time, they looked up and saw eight or nine snow wolves standing on rocks of different sizes in the cave. Their green eyes flashed fiercely, staring at Charles and the others. The lowest level of these snow wolves was second Meridian Level 1, while the highest was second Meridian Level 3! ¡°We¡¯ve been surrounded and have no way out. ¡± After briefly assessing the situation, he immediately made a decision. ¡°Frost, kill the closest Snow Wolf!¡± An order was given. However, he did not see any movement from the frost Dragon whelp. Charles lowered his head in surprise and saw the frost Dragon Whelp guarding his feet, vigilantly facing the wolf pack. In an instant, he understood! It was because he had almost been ambushed just now that the frost Dragon whelp was worried and decided to guard him. Chapter 8 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Then, he looked at the snow wolves in the cave. Those pairs of eyes weren¡¯t looking at their subdued beasts. Instead, he was staring at The Beastmaster himself! Charles cried out inwardly, ¡®not good. Once we¡¯re caught in a group battle like this, the Beastmasters will become a burden instead!¡¯ Even though Charles had been strengthened three times, and his physical fitness and reaction speed had already entered the superhuman level, human claws and teeth were nothing in front of these thick-skinned bloodthirsty exotic beasts. These wolves were cunning. They feared Charles¡¯s group¡¯s subdued beasts, planning to avoid them and directly attack the Beastmasters. The light in the ice cave was not as bright as in the fire zone. It was not only dim but also cold. The cold wind with frost blew out of the dark cave entrances, making Charles¡¯s fingertips cold and his limbs stiff. The snow wolves¡¯ blue and white figures stood in the dark corner like ghosts. It did not attack, nor did it leave. The two sides were in a deadlock. What were they waiting for? Charles was a little confused. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and glanced at the two people behind him. As expected. The two red fire lizards¡¯ body temperatures were getting lower and lower after staying in such a cold environment for a long time. When they first entered, they could still follow the Beastmaster on the ground, but now, they were lying on the Beastmaster¡¯s body, a little weak, trying to absorb a little heat from John and the others. Their half-opened eyes were now squinted, and they looked drowsy. ¡®The balance of advantage is slowly tilting. We can¡¯t continue to be in a stalemate,¡¯ Charles thought. He slowly moved to John¡¯s side and said in a low voice, ¡°John, we¡¯ll only be at a greater disadvantage if we stay here any longer. It¡¯s best if we attack together now and break out of this.¡± John nodded and looked at Johnny. ¡°Let¡¯s use our bloodline power. ¡± Charles was stunned. This was a new term, and it sounded like a trump card skill. ¡°Charles, you¡¯re a new student. You probably haven¡¯t come into contact with such a situation before.¡± John might have noticed the doubt in Charles¡¯s eyes, so he took the initiative to explain. ¡°Bloodline eruption is something that every Beastmaster can do. Unleashing the bloodline of a subdued beast and fusing with it. The Beastmaster can raise one¡¯s strength by a large margin for a short time.¡± ¡°However, using this technique puts a huge burden on the human body. It requires a Beastmaster to temper their body before it can be used. You¡¯re a new student and haven¡¯t done any body tempering. I¡¯m sure the school hasn¡¯t told you about this before, afraid you¡¯ll misunderstand.¡± Charles nodded thoughtfully. Naturally, he had never studied such a high-level course. ¡°Charles, follow closely. We¡¯ll break out!¡± The two brothers, John and Johnny, seemed to have a telepathic connection. They opened their hands simultaneously, and the familiar contract rune gradually appeared in their hands, emitting a mysterious light. ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± John and Johnny shouted! Before he could finish his sentence, the red fire lizard beside them turned into a ball of light and fused with the two brothers. The fusion ended instantly, and John and Johnny turned into Lizardmen. They wore bright red spiked armor, and their palms spewed fire. The sudden change in the situation caused the formation of the snow wolves to be slightly disrupted. They realized their plan had failed, so they bared their fangs, and eight snow-white figures pounced on them at lightning speed! ¡°Finish the battle quickly!¡± The two figures flew past quickly. Wherever they went, their attacks were very fierce. The snow wolves were instantly burned to ashes by the high temperature of the flames. Charles was caught between two fire salamander men. The sharp claws of the frost Dragon whelp cut through their throats without any resistance. The situation was reversed in an instant. Charles was surprised. Judging from the firelizard brothers¡¯ performance, the increase in strength from the bloodline eruption wasn¡¯t just a little. It seemed like he needed to learn more about Beastmasters¡¯ body tempering. However, such a skill was supposed to be a gamble. With such a high damage output, it would not last for long. Sure enough, he could feel that after the fire lizard brothers had torn a big hole in the snow Wolves pack¡¯s encirclement, the energy in these two people¡¯s bodies was rapidly depleting. They ignored the three remaining snow wolves and the loot they had dropped. They immediately ran toward the exit of the ice cave. It was different from the dark cave. Outside the cave, it was a green color. The green trees and green vines made Charles a little dizzy. He had stayed in the ice cave for a long time and seemed to have forgotten that it was midsummer outside. ¡°It¡¯s done! Let¡¯s go out! The snow wolves won¡¯t cross the territory to hunt us down!¡± The fire lizard brothers were overjoyed when they saw the exit right before them! As Charles ran, he stole a glance behind him. However, the three snow wolves did not catch up. However, they didn¡¯t look angry at all. Instead, they were smiling! It was a trap! Charles reacted instantly and looked up, only to see two tiny fireflies looming behind the black rock wall of the cave, hiding killing intent! A cold light flashed! ¡°Dodge!¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Charles shouted, pressing down the fire lizard brothers in front of him. Above the cave, the overwhelming claws were like a heavenly net, covering the three of them and flying past their scalps. When the three of them raised their heads again, they saw a notable figure gracefully landing on the ground. Although the strange beast in front of them still appeared like a snow wolf, the lines of its brows were more rigid, its eyes were deep, and its aura was strong. Chapter 9 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation A thick layer of ice was frozen on the blue and white fur, and a cloud of mist was around his nose and mouth. ¡°Snow wolf King ¡­ Level 7, two meridians ¡­¡± John¡¯s heart turned cold when he saw the exotic beast in front of him. He turned around and said to Johnny and Charles,¡± ¡°Run! Run!¡± John had lost all will to fight. He ran in front of the two and stumbled. When he turned around, he saw the snow Wolf King¡¯s huge body rushing towards him like a train in a cave. He also saw the blue claws like a net covering the sky! ¡°Hide behind the rock!¡± Before he could finish his sentence, John had pounced behind the nearest protruding stone wall while Charles and Johnny flashed and hid in a concave hole beside them. The sharp claws left deep ravines on the rocks, but fortunately, they did not land on anyone. John hid behind the stone wall, his face ashen. He took out a whistle from his pocket. This was the whistle for help given to students by the Academy. After blowing it, a teacher would rush to the scene as fast as possible. However, once the whistle was blown, the snow Wolf King would arrive before the reinforcements and tear him to pieces, even if he could not get out of the cave. Even the Ace student of the Grinwood Academy, the three-time champion of the Academy¡¯s ranking competition, might not be able to gain the upper hand against a second bloodline, seventh rank Snow Wolf King. Perhaps only a teacher could fight against an exotic beast of this level! With his opponent¡¯s overwhelming skills, no matter how many Beastmasters of his level came, they would all die without a burial. If the claws were so destructive when they struck the rocks, what difference would it be if they hit the fire lizard¡¯s leather armor on him? It was tough to find a way out today. Just as he was about to lose all hope, John suddenly realized that he could not hear the snow Wolf King¡¯s voice! He peeked his head out carefully and realized that the snow Wolf King was nowhere to be found. ¡°It went to Charles and Johnny.¡± John clenched his fists, and his eyes turned red. He was confident that the two men were dead. He turned around and ran out of the cave with all his strength. The sound of a whistle resounded through the sky. ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ At the same time, Charles and Johnny dodged left and right in a cave filled with stone pillars. The snow Wolf King¡¯s massive body was like a white ghost, shuttling back and forth behind the stone pillars. Several dark blue claws streaked across the darkness, looking for lives to harvest. Johnny had already returned to his original form. He was out of breath as he ran while carrying the exhausted red fire lizard in his arms. As for Charles, because he had been exercising with self-discipline and enhancing his physique, he was only a little short of breath at this time, but he was still running as fast as he could. Like Johnny¡¯s attempt to escape, Charles¡¯s brain worked at full speed. The snow Wolf King was a rank 7 two lineage beast. In terms of combat strength, it was at least on par with two 5-star paupers. Moreover, this strength was not simply an addition but a comprehensive strength. It would be more challenging to deal with than the two five-star grassmen. Charles looked at the frost Dragon whelp on his shoulder and asked, ¡°Frost, how confident are you dealing with three five-star grassmen?¡± The frost Dragon Whelp lowered its head and thought for a moment before spreading a Dragon claw. Charles thought to himself. Charles didn¡¯t know why the snow Wolf King was chasing him, but he could guess. The snow Wolf King¡¯s target could be the frost Dragon whelp. To be more precise, the frost Dragon whelp¡¯s dragon crystal! Therefore, Charles couldn¡¯t expect it to give up. Only one of them was destined to survive. Although 50% was low, he could still test it out. If he failed, he might be able to ¡­ Activate his bloodline. John said that body refinement was needed to activate the bloodline, or else he would not be able to withstand the energy of the Ultra Beast. What was the difference between a person who trained his body and an ordinary person? Judging from the ups and downs of the journey, Johnny¡¯s stamina and strength were much better than the average person¡¯s. However, compared to himself, he seemed to be lacking. From this point of view, Charles felt that his bloodline eruption might not necessarily fail. On the contrary, there was a high chance of success! Just as Charles was thinking ¡­ At the next turn, a long, pale blue Wolf face suddenly appeared in the shadow behind the rock pillar! When the snow Wolf King saw the frost Dragon whelp on Charles¡¯s shoulder, his protruding lips curled into an evil smile. As expected! Charles frowned slightly. This guy was coveting the frost Dragon whelp! On the other hand, Johnny was scared out of his wits when he saw the wolf¡¯s face. He immediately let out a shriek. The red fire lizard on his body no longer looked like a second Meridian demonic beast. In the shadow of death, its eyes suddenly widened, and its body desperately shrank back. ¡°Frost, try it!¡± ¡°Attack!¡± Charles commanded, and a light blue lightning bolt shot from his shoulder. In the blink of an eye, the sharp dragon claws and the wolf fangs collided. Dragons seemed to be born warriors. In the face of such a huge enemy, the frost Dragon whelp did not seem to know what fear was. Instead, it began to attack ferociously, pressing forward step by step. The snow Wolf King did not expect such a small creature to be so brave and fierce. For a moment, it was in a state of confusion and was actually at a disadvantage. But Charles didn¡¯t feel happy. Once again, he felt the huge gap brought about by the difference in level! Chapter 10 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The snow Wolf King was caught off guard for a few moves, but it quickly adjusted and began suppressing the frost Dragon whelp. The sharp claws struck the Dragon¡¯s scales, and the sound of metal clanging rang out. If the Dragon¡¯s scales weren¡¯t hard enough, the frost Dragon would have been cut into meat paste. Under the blue claws, a scratch appeared on the indestructible dragon scales. Although it quickly recovered, it made Charles¡¯s heart tighten. No, the difference in level was too significant! Charles was about to call the frost Dragon whelp back. Suddenly, a few wolf howls could be heard from behind. Johnny broke down and shouted, ¡°We¡¯re finished, Charles!¡± ¡°The three snow wolves!¡± Three snow wolves emerged from the shadows and stood between Charles and the snow Wolf King. They closed in on Charles! They lowered their bodies and roared in low voices. Charles knew this was a sign that canines were about to pounce on their prey! After three rounds of strengthening, he could barely defeat two one-star grassmen. As for these three snow wolves, two of them were at Tier 1 of the two meridians, while the other was at Tier 2 of the two meridians. They were all above the standard of a three-star Grassman. There was no chance of winning! In all the danger, Charles suddenly felt the cold air around him rapidly dissipate. The snow Wolf King¡¯s claws were pressing down on the frost Dragon Whelp, and its mouth faced the Dragon. A dazzling ball of light was expanding in its mouth! ¡°Not good!¡± Charles was shocked! This Snow Wolf King had a second chakra skill! There was no need to hesitate now! Charles roared. Imitating John, the familiar contract rune faintly appeared in his hand. ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± ¡°Charles, are you crazy?¡± Johnny¡¯s pupils suddenly contracted. Charles¡¯s bloodline eruption without any body tempering was no different from suicide! A mutated beast¡¯s energy was not something ordinary people could withstand. There was a 100% chance that they would explode and die! At the same time, the ball of light in the snow Wolf king¡¯s mouth shot out a white shock wave. It did not even look at Johnny as it aimed its mouth at Charles. In an instant, the white light enveloped Charles! There was a flash of light, and the shock wave destroyed the rock pillar. The ground was covered in glaciers. However ¡­ John couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. He even thought he was dreaming! Charles was covered in dragon scales. His eyes were sharp, and two ice horns grew from his forehead. He was extremely domineering. The fusion was a success! ¡°Roar!¡± The three remaining snow wolves charged at Charles together and opened their bloody mouths at his three vital points! Unexpectedly, when the White Wolf¡¯s fangs touched the Dragon scales, they all shattered! Charles waved his hand, and the Dragon claw cut the three snow wolves in half in an instant. Charles¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was beating wildly. However, his body had been strengthened three times and was far beyond ordinary people, surpassing those at the beginning level of body refining. The power of a Dragon was overbearing! He knew he couldn¡¯t hold on for long, so he could only end the battle quickly. Just now, he had barely dodged the attack at the critical moment. The White shock wave had brushed past his body. However, it had only brushed past a scale and shattered it! This was the first time Charles had seen an attack that could break through the defense of the frost Dragon¡¯s scales. It was a pity that the snow Wolf King¡¯s technique was not very good, and he missed it. Otherwise, the outcome would have been clear. He realized that the snow Wolf King¡¯s second skill was potent. Since the snow Wolf King could discover that the beast crystal of the frost Dragon Whelp was a rare item, it meant that it had a unique ability to identify high-quality beast crystals. In other words, the beast crystal in its second chakra was not an everyday item. ¡°I want this beast crystal.¡± Charles grabbed the air and charged towards the snow Wolf King. The effects of bloodline eruption were extraordinary. His movements left no afterimages behind. In the blink of an eye, a Beastmaster in Dragon Armor appeared in front of the snow Wolf King, his vertical pupils meeting the snow Wolf King¡¯s gaze! The snow Wolf King could not see Charles¡¯s movements at all. He turned around. Before the snow Wolf King could react, the Dragon¡¯s sharp tail had already pierced into the snow Wolf King¡¯s chest. Anger, horror, and unwillingness ¡­ The snow Wolf King¡¯s expression was exciting. Chapter 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The snow Wolf King let out a long cry and fell to the ground, dead. Johnny, lying on the ground, saw this scene, and his mind went blank! He, Charles, had killed the snow Wolf King! A level 7 Snow Wolf King of the second bloodline had been killed with a single blow! This brat must have hidden a lot last time. Otherwise, how could his strength improve to such a terrifying extent in two days? As strong as he was, he could probably trounce a five-star cultivator¡­ The bloodline was removed. The Dragon scales on Charles¡¯s body disappeared, and the frost Dragon whelp returned. Blood trickled down from his nose, and Charles¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. He felt an indescribable pain all over his body. His heart was like a drum, beating and numbing. ¡°It seems that there¡¯s a difference between body-strengthening and body-strengthening.¡± Charles¡¯s body had already exceeded the limits of what it could bear. Fortunately, when completing the system¡¯s autonomous tasks, he often challenged his limits and adapted to his body. Otherwise, he might not be able to stand up now. Charles didn¡¯t even bother to wipe the blood from his nose and went straight up to check. In front of him was the snow Wolf King¡¯s huge skeleton. When an exotic beast died, it would not rot like ordinary creatures. Instead, the moment it lost its life, its flesh and blood would turn into nothingness. ¡®Exotic beasts, at their roots, came from another world,¡¯ Charles thought.¡¯Perhaps this world has never accepted these exotic beasts, leaving behind a pile of normal bones after their deaths.¡¯ If the strange beasts went extinct one day, only these bone insects would be left behind and buried in the ground. However, when people saw them later on, they would never think there were still animals that could use magic in the past. As he was thinking, a blue light suddenly emerged from under the snow Wolf King¡¯s skull. The light floated and flew towards Charles. Charles reached out his hand to block it. The light slipped through his fingers and went directly into Charles¡¯s eyes. The moment it entered his eyes, Charles felt the world distort. When it returned to normal, the frost Dragon was emitting an orange light in front of him. Charles was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing that the orange light he saw represented the quality of the frost Dragon¡¯s fledgling crystal. ¡°This ¡­ Could this be why the snow Wolf King could identify the quality of beast crystals?¡± He looked around and found that the snow wolves¡¯ skeletons were glowing with a green light. That¡¯s right, the snow Wolf¡¯s life-bound beast crystal was green. This ability was convenient. Let¡¯s call it the ¡°eyes of analysis¡±. Now, he could quickly identify beast crystals. Charles reached out and took out the two beast crystals left by the snow Wolf King and the vein essence condensed Pearl. This beast crystal was the snow Wolf King¡¯s life Crystal, the snow Wolf King beast crystal. Although the snow Wolf King beast crystal was also a green-quality beast crystal, it was the best of the best. The fire baboon crystal the John brothers had obtained earlier was a mid-tier green-quality crystal. A middle-tier green quality beast crystal could be sold for about five thousand Yuan on the market. As for green quality high-tier beast crystals, they could be sold for at least twenty thousand Yuan! Not to mention that this beast crystal also came with a skill, Snow Wolf Claw. Charles estimated that its price was at least 30000 Yuan. Charles put away the beast crystal and looked at the other one, which was the beast crystal embedded in the snow Wolf King¡¯s second chakra. He was greatly shocked when he saw it. The crystal of an icy sabretooth tiger. This was a blue-quality beast crystal, considered high quality among blue-quality beast crystals. Even if it didn¡¯t have a skill, such a beast crystal would be worth at least 100000 Yuan in the market. Not to mention that this beast crystal even had a potent skill, ¡°roaring ice field.¡± It was the same move that the snow Wolf King had used on Charles. It seemed that the snow Wolf King had consumed a lot of energy because of its low level. It had been exhausted for less than a second, which was why Charles had killed it. Perhaps it was too eager to get the frost Dragon Crystal, so it rashly used its big move. If the wolf King had been patient with Charles, it was hard to say who would have won. Charles held the beast crystal in his hand and estimated its price. With this skill, it was worth more than 150000! However, Charles didn¡¯t decide to sell the beast crystal. Blue-quality exotic beasts were extremely rare and hard to come by. Even if he encountered one, it might not be suitable because exotic beasts that used a blue quality beast crystal as their Life Crystal were all mighty. Charles didn¡¯t know how the snow Wolf King got his hands on the blue quality beast crystal. It could have been a sneak attack, or like this time, it could have killed an icy field saber-toothed tiger while it was still young and obtained the beast crystal. In the end, however, the snow Wolf King still benefited Charles. It was estimated that it would not take long for the frost Dragon to light up its second chakra. This beast crystal was exactly what Charles wanted. Charles put away the two beast crystals and put them in his brocade bag. Then, he walked to the bones of the snow wolves he had killed before and collected the beast crystals and vein essence beads. ¡± 11 condensed vein essence beads are enough for me to upgrade the frost Dragon¡¯s life Crystal.¡± Charles was in a good mood. He counted the beast crystals he had obtained. A total of 15 beast crystals. Ten were the life-bound beast crystals of the snow wolves, while the other five were the beast crystals of the snow wolves¡¯ second chakra. Although these snow wolves were all at the second Meridian level, not all had the second beast crystal. In addition to the beast crystals and the condensed vein essence, Charles had also collected 30 drops of blood essence of a second-bloodline demonic beast. Every mutated beast had it in their body, and there were only three drops of blood essence. It was the essence of their strong physical bodies. The blood essence was not in liquid form but in the form of tiny red beads. From the eyes of analysis, Charles knew that the blood essence of these demonic beasts was a necessary supplement for body refining. Charles put all the beast crystals, blood essence, and vein essence beads into the silk bag. ¡°Charles! Charles!¡± He turned around and saw Johnny crawling over. He grabbed Charles¡¯s hand and said incoherently, ¡°Charles, teach me. Please teach me!¡± ¡°What should I teach you?¡± Charles wiped the blood from his nose and asked in confusion. Johnny¡¯s face was filled with admiration. ¡°Why are you so strong? How did you improve your abilities in such a short time? Please tell me!¡± ¡°I want to know!¡± Charles looked at his expectant eyes and was at a loss for words. Could it be that he had a system? This kind of thing couldn¡¯t be casually shown to others. Moreover, he wouldn¡¯t believe it even if he told him. ¡± Johnny, this situation is a little complicated ¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, Charles. Just put it and tell me how you did it!¡± Johnny¡¯s excitement didn¡¯t decrease at all. He even took out a tattered notebook from his pocket and looked at Charles with bright eyes, trying to write down what he said. The secret to increasing one¡¯s strength was right in front of their eyes; anyone would be extremely excited! ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Charles couldn¡¯t argue with him, so he said truthfully, ¡°Uh, my method is self-discipline.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, say it! I¡¯ll do whatever you say!¡± Johnny said seriously. Charles was speechless. ¡°Well, I woke up at four in the morning on my first day and ran fifty laps around the academy.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± ¡°The next day, I did a thousand push-ups, and my familiar sprayed ice on a pond.¡± ¡°I see!¡± ¡°On the third day, you must frog-jump thirty times around the woods, and then ¡­¡± ¡°I see!¡± Johnny noted everything Charles said and said he would be as self-disciplined as Charles. He would also tell John about this method. Charles tried to persuade him, but he didn¡¯t know what to say. Anyway, exercise was a good thing. He just told him to do what he could and not get hurt. Chapter 12 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After resting for a while, Charles recovered some strength. ¡°How is it, Johnny? We can¡¯t just stay here. It¡¯s too cold here. We should at least go outside.¡± Charles stood up and pulled Johnny up with one hand. ¡°Sure, we ¡­ Ah!¡± Before Johnny could take two steps, his body tilted, and he fell to the ground again. ¡°I don¡¯t know when I got injured. It might have been when he was fighting the snow, Wolf King.¡± He held his swollen ankle and said with a bitter smile, ¡°I was too nervous earlier, so I didn¡¯t feel any pain. It looks quite serious now.¡± Charles checked and found that it was just a sprain. There was nothing serious. However, Johnny might not be able to walk anymore. Charles strenuously carried Johnny out of the cave and let him lean on a rock outside the cave. This stone had been exposed to the sun for a long time, and its surface was hot. ¡°Thanks, brother.¡± Johnny said weakly,¡± ¡°I might not be able to continue my training. John will bring me back to Grinwood Academy. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Charles nodded and placed Johnny¡¯s familiar, the red fire lizard, on the rock. It had to be said that the recovery ability of demonic beasts was indeed terrifying. After a while, the heat from the stone warmed its body, and the red fire lizard gradually opened its eyes. As for Johnny, perhaps he was too tired. He had already fallen asleep on the warm rock with his head tilted. Charles looked at the forest not far away. With the help of his ¡°analytical eyes,¡± he saw many familiars walking in his direction. Among them was a red fire lizard that he was familiar with. It was John¡¯s familiar. It seemed like the reinforcements John had called for were about to arrive. Charles was thinking about what to do next. When John and the others came over and saw his condition, they would stop his training in the monster forest. However, if he wanted to get the principal¡¯s ice crystal of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, he would have to get first place in the Academy¡¯s ranking competition. Time was of the essence, and he had to train as quickly as possible. The training in the demonic beast forest must not end like this. However, he couldn¡¯t just leave Johnny here. This was the middle of the monster forest. If any demonic beasts came, Johnny wouldn¡¯t be able to protect himself. After much thought, he decided to follow Johnny to the emergency station and think of a way to escape. ¡°Charles! Johnny! You¡¯re still alive!¡± Just as Charles was thinking about his next move, John¡¯s figure came out from the woods. Behind him was a Beastmaster mentor with curly blonde hair and a few nurses carrying stretchers. Seeing Charles and Johnny outside the ice cave, John was so thrilled that he almost burst into tears! ¡°John, don¡¯t touch them. Hurry up and send them to the rescue station at the edge of the forest.¡± The Beastmaster instructor waved his hand, and a few nurses hurriedly and carefully lifted Charles and Johnny and walked out of the demonic beast forest. Charles didn¡¯t say anything and just let them put him on the stretcher. After the nurses carried the two away, the young mentor said to John, ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look inside the ice cave.¡± John looked at the black hole and recalled the previous scene. He was a little hesitant. ¡°Mr. Hockins, what about the snow Wolf King?¡± ¡°Just kill him.¡± Hockins said calmly. ¡°The Grinwood Academy can not give up such a blessed land for training just because of a demon beast.¡± John could only nod and lead the way. The two of them walked around the ice cave and finally arrived at the place where Charles and the others were ambushed by the snow Wolf King. The surrounding deep caves were like giant mouths that were waiting for food. The scratch marks on the rock wall were still shocking. A lousy memory was brought back to John. He shivered in the cold air. Hockins face was still expressionless as he looked around at his surroundings. However ¡­ When they entered the cave. There wasn¡¯t a huge battle like he had imagined. In the middle of the dark cave was a crystal clear ice river. This was the mark left behind by the snow Wolf King¡¯s ¡°Icefield roar.¡± In the middle of the ice river. There was a huge white skeleton! The skeleton of the snow Wolf King! ¡°This ¡­ This ¡­¡± John¡¯s pupils trembled. He was so shocked that he didn¡¯t know how to express it. ¡°It¡¯s indeed the snow Wolf King. He¡¯s a rank 7 second Meridian.¡± Hockins stepped forward and touched the huge skull. ¡°Charles didn¡¯t have the strength to fight. Johnny must have overexerted himself in a desperate situation and killed it. It¡¯s not like there are no precedents.¡± ¡°This Snow Wolf King¡¯s level might be a little high, but it doesn¡¯t have any powerful skills. That¡¯s why it could be killed.¡± Since that was the case, there was nothing else to do. After saying that, Hockins turned and walked out as if a little disappointed that he had not encountered a powerful enemy. John quickly followed him out. He frowned and looked back at the snow Wolf King¡¯s skeleton in confusion. Johnny¡¯s familiar was a red fire lizard. If Johnny had killed the snow Wolf King, why wasn¡¯t there any burn mark on the skeleton? ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ [Ding! [A warm reminder. Host, you have yet to complete your self-disciplined mission for today. Please complete it as soon as possible!] In a white tent, a simple wooden bed made a creaking sound at the outer edge of the demonic beast forest. Charles was doing sit-ups with all his might, and his sweat had almost soaked the sheets under him. ¡°356,357,358¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡± Although the nurse had given him a bottle of low-level medicine and his fatigue had been alleviated, the 2000 sit-ups had almost broken Charles¡¯s waist! Outside the tent, a large hole appeared on the ground. The frost Dragon whelp was in the hole, digging hard. From time to time, it would throw the rocks and soil cut off by its claws into the hole. Its mission today was to dig a big hole three meters wide and six meters deep. The nurses resting under the shade outside shook their heads helplessly when they saw them working out so hard. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯ve advised him to rest and recuperate several times, but he just won¡¯t listen!¡± ¡°I¡¯m impressed. He¡¯s just an injured person, but he looks more energetic than a normal person ¡­¡± It was late at night. ¡°1996,1997! 1998! 1999! 2000! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Charles lay on the bed, exhausted. He looked at his watch and saw it was precisely midnight. Today¡¯s self-disciplined mission has finally been completed on time. At the same time, the door creaked open a little, and a black creature came in, shocking Charles. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was a Frost Dragon whelp. This fellow was covered in black mud from digging holes and had already become a small mud dragon. [Ding! Congratulations to the Host! [Complete today¡¯s self-disciplined mission!] [Reward: 100 points of discipline!] [Reminder: the Host has been self-disciplined for four consecutive days. You will unlock the next item in the mall for one more day! [Host, please continue to work hard!] The frost Dragon whelp raised its neck and drank all 100 bottles of growth potion that Charles had exchanged for. Its level had also been raised to rank five of the lineage! At the same time, Charles also felt the joy of his body¡¯s strengthening. Every time his body was strengthened, his original pain and fatigue would be swept away. This feeling was like having a very comfortable sleep. He was full of energy and was fantastic. Charles quietly walked out of the tent, avoiding the guards line of sight. His gaze was focused on the middle of the distant monster forest. Others might not be able to see it. However, under the gaze of Charles¡¯s analytical eyes, he discovered that there was a strange light somewhere in the central region. Blue, green, and white ¡­ All kinds of colors of light are intertwined. It lit up half the night sky! Charles concluded that there was not just a treasure but a treasure trove! How could he let go of such an opportunity? Chapter 13 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The guards at the rescue Station were all Beastmasters. The beast crystals of their familiars were emitting a weak light in the eyes of analysis. With these lights, Charles quickly figured out the guards¡¯ positions and easily avoided the layers of guards. He set out alone towards the demon beast forest. The moon hung high in the sky. The forest at night was not very quiet. Occasionally, there was the chirping of birds or the roars of strange beasts, but they were all vague and unclear. Some demonic beasts only appeared at night. At night, their firefly-like eyes would often float around. Charles also encountered a few demon beasts along the way, but their levels were not high, and they were dealt with by the frost Dragon Whelp in one move. Recalling the battle with the snow wolves, Charles realized that Beastmasters had to increase their strength. Otherwise, Beastmasters would become their most significant weakness in a battle between subdued beasts. The frost Dragon Whelp was now a rank-five lineage. It could kill an inconsequential five-star person in seconds when ranked four lineages. What about Charles himself? He had already been strengthened by the system four times, but he could only barely defeat a 2-star Grassman. The difference in strength was too significant! As a result, Charles couldn¡¯t participate in the battle of the frost Dragon Whelp at all. He couldn¡¯t even protect himself. Beastmasters and subdued beasts were a cooperative Combat Team. Charles definitely wouldn¡¯t allow himself to be the only weak point in this team. As such, in the evening, he chatted with some of the Beastmasters on guard, asking about Beastmasters¡¯ body tempering¡¯ and if there were any other ways to increase a Beastmaster¡¯s strength. ¡°Body refinement has a total of 18 levels.¡± Charles walked towards the middle of the monster forest while recalling his conversation during the day. ¡°If I want to withstand the bloodline explosion of the frost Dragon Whelp, I¡¯ll need to be at least at the second layer of body refining tier.¡± If an ordinary person wanted to reach the first layer of body refining tier, they would need to absorb ten drops of demonic beast blood essence. However, the power in the blood essence of demonic beasts was too strong, especially the blood essence of two-bloodline demonic beasts collected by Charles, which was purer. Although the effect of body refining was better, ordinary people couldn¡¯t bear it. The demonic beast¡¯s blood essence was a yang-type item. It required a Yin-type precious medicine to be harmonized, allowing it to release energy within the human body slowly. This way, it could be absorbed. There were no fixed requirements for medicinal herbs. It was good as long as they had a Yin nature. Of course, the higher the quality of the medicinal herbs, the better. Other than body tempering, there was another way to increase a Beastmaster¡¯s strength. That was to wear a spirit weapon. Spirit weapons all contained powerful energy. The blade of a high-rank spirit sword was not inferior to the claws of a powerful spirit beast. However, it was not easy to make a spiritual weapon, and the price was naturally high. At least, not many people in a school in a small village like Grinwood could afford to wear it. Usually, only the Beastmasters of the influential clans in the city would possess powerful spiritual weapons. Some large clans even had ancient divine weapons as family heirlooms. This was also the reason why Charles wanted to go to the place where the treasures were gathered. Charles was sure that many of the lights were from medicinal herbs, and even very precious elixirs were among them. And perhaps, there were even spiritual weapons there! He had to get his hands on such a treasure. ¡°Today is Tuesday, and the Academy¡¯s training has to end before Sunday.¡± Charles thought to himself. He heard from the Academy¡¯s old students that the demonic beast forest would become extremely dangerous for a while after Sunday. At that time, the entire forest would be covered in poisonous miasma. The haze would appear out of thin air and cover the sky. Then, it would suddenly disappear at a particular time without a trace. Therefore, many people guessed that the haze came from another world. In the haze, where one could not see their fingers, many powerful demonic beasts would appear and harvest the weak lives. Even the original strange beasts in the demonic beast forest would find a cave to hide in when the haze appeared to avoid being killed by the demonic beasts. Therefore, Charles had to finish his training before Sunday, or he would be in danger. Time was of the essence, and he couldn¡¯t help but speed up. The most important thing right now was quickly collecting all the treasures in the demonic beast forest! He wanted at least to reach the second layer of the body refining tier! While thinking, Charles had already arrived at where the treasure was. Two large rocks covered an extremely narrow cave in front of him. Once they crawled in and suffered any attacks, it would be difficult even to turn around and deal with them, let alone escape quickly. The stone was covered in moss and had not been moved for a long time. ¡°Who would place so many treasures in the wilderness?¡± Charles was a little confused. But it was inevitable that Charles wouldn¡¯t quickly obtain these treasures. After all, if it were so easy to get the treasure, the snow Wolf King would have already gotten it, and Charles would not have anything to do with it. Charles estimated that the treasure was about 50 meters away from the entrance. He didn¡¯t go through the hole but slowly moved to the top of the treasure. ¡°Frost Dragon Whelp, let¡¯s dig down from here. I don¡¯t care about that hole. Just dig straight to the treasure.¡± Charles said in a deep voice. ¡°Gugu!¡± The frost Dragon Whelp had just leveled up and was eager to try it. Upon hearing Charles¡¯s words, it ground its dragon claws twice and began to dig a hole in the ground. After a short while, a two-meter pit was dug out. Charles looked at the frost Dragon Whelp, who was increasingly skilled at digging holes and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. This fellow had the talent to be a gopher. After the layer of soil was dug out, the Dragon¡¯s claws stabbed into the thick rock. Although the rock was hard, under the hardness of the Dragon¡¯s claws, it was like paper and immediately disintegrated. Charles could feel that after digging through this layer of rock, they would be able to reach a cave below, where the treasure was! ¡°Boom!¡± Just as the man and Dragon dug down, a muffled sound suddenly came from the cave below! ¡°There¡¯s something!¡± Charles immediately reacted and was about to leave. However, it was too late. The rock under Charles and the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s feet exploded, revealing the dark cave below. They couldn¡¯t escape in time and fell straight down onto a platform. Fortunately, the upper wall of the cave wasn¡¯t too high, so Charles only got a little scratch and didn¡¯t suffer any severe injuries. What followed was a waterfall of rocks and sand. Charles quickly got up to avoid the sharp rocks while the frost Dragon remained motionless. The rocks hitting its body were like tickles. Charles hurriedly peeked over and saw a huge figure covered in white hair. The sneak attack had succeeded at this time, and it was running away without fighting. Chapter 14 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Charles¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the figure. ¡°This is an extremely rare beast, the strange snowman! Second Meridian, fifth rank!¡± Although this exotic beast¡¯s beast crystal was only of green mid-tier quality, it was a huge piece of meat in the eyes of many Beastmasters. This was because these snow monsters were usually elusive and had the habit of collecting rare treasures. They carried many treasures on them, which were not something ordinary demonic beasts could be compared to. Charles had seen earlier that the pile of treasures was probably the collection of the strange giant snowman! Some of these treasures were beast crystals from other exotic beasts, some were precious medicinal herbs found somewhere, and some were from the Beastmasters and commoners it killed. There were indeed all sorts of wonders, from jewelry rings to medicinal potions and beast bones. Seeing the strange snowman running away while taking all his treasures into a silk bag, Charles quickly shouted, ¡°Stop it!¡± Light blue lightning flashed, and the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s figure had already moved to the front of the strange snowman. In the blink of an eye, the sharp dragon claws had reached the strange Yeti¡¯s neck! However, the scene of an instant kill was not as expected. The snowman took advantage of the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s approach and struck out with its palm. A cold wind from its palm pounced forward and hit the frost Dragon Whelp. Although it didn¡¯t cause any damage to it, it was sent flying. Charles was stunned when he saw this scene. Then, he saw the snow-white ring on the strange snowman¡¯s finger. His eyes were shining with excitement! It was a spirit tool! Where did the snow monster get such a treasure? Perhaps it was a proud son of some big family who had been buried in the hands of snowmen before he could develop. The snowman was huge, but it was frighteningly agile. Taking advantage of the frost Dragon Whelp having been sent flying, it dodged into a nearby cave. Charles looked around and saw three big holes in the cave. It was cunning. The terrain of the cave was complex and intertwined. If it were in someone else¡¯s place, it would escape. However, the strange Yeti¡¯s glowing green beast crystal could not escape Charles ¡®eyes! ¡°Frost Dragon Whelp, let¡¯s go!¡± Charles said as he jumped into the cave and ran into one of the caves. There were many branches in the cave, and many of them were dead ends. Charles followed the strange snowman and soon reached a dead end. Facing the Black Rock Wall, Charles didn¡¯t feel dejected. Instead, his eyes lit up. This was because he saw the strange snowman in front of him. The stone wall was just in front of another tunnel. ¡°Frost Dragon Whelp, break it!¡± Under Charles¡¯s command, a blue light flashed. In desperation, the frost Dragon Whelp did not even use its claws. It directly hit the stone wall with its head and cracked. Amidst the flying debris, the strange snowman appeared in front of Charles! He probably didn¡¯t expect Charles to find him in such a short time, and he slapped Charles. ¡°Coo!¡± The frost Dragon Whelp spread the bat wings on its back and swung its tail. It dodged the snowman¡¯s cold palm wind and directly hit its arm, breaking its bucket-thick arm. Charles couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue when he saw this scene. This strange snowman was a second-bloodline, level five exotic beast, yet the frost Dragon Whelp quickly broke through its defense. The natural difference between their bloodlines was genuinely terrifying. After being hit, the strange giant snowman roared. Suddenly, Charles felt the air around him become slightly hot. ¡°Frost, Dodge!¡± Charles had a bad feeling and ordered the frost Dragon Whelp to Dodge to the side. At the same time. A huge tongue of fire filled the entire tunnel! ¡°That was a close call.¡± Charles and the frost Dragon Whelp barely dodged the attack. This large-scale attack was a fatal blow in a little place like the tunnel. ¡°This is a move of a fire-type exotic beast. Could its second chakra be embedded with a fire-type beast crystal?¡± Charles thought to himself. When strange beasts embed beast crystals of different elements, not only would they suffer heart-piercing pain, but the power of the beast crystals would also be significantly reduced. He didn¡¯t expect this strange snowman to be so cautious. To fight against the ice-type demonic beast, he embedded a fire-type beast crystal. No. Charles suddenly realized that the snowman probably embedded this fire-type beast crystal to fight the Snow Wolf King. Perhaps in an empty cave, the wolf¡¯s destructive power was enough to dominate an area, but in such a narrow tunnel, the snow wolves would not dare to chase after the snowman with such a fire skill. No wonder it could hold its own against the snow Wolf King for so long. It had to be said that although this exotic beast wasn¡¯t powerful, its brain was one of the smarter ones among the exotic beasts. The snow Wolf King was also very cunning. The beast crystal of the Sabretooth was probably embedded to deal with the Yeti¡¯s fire breath skill. Judging from the snow Wolf King¡¯s unfamiliarity with its skills, Charles guessed that the snow Wolf King must have been killed not long after it was embedded in the snowman. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before it obtained the strange Yeti¡¯s treasure. Just as the outcome of the battle between the two exotic beasts was about to be decided, he didn¡¯t expect Charles to be the one to reap the benefits. As for the strange snowman ¡­ It missed its first attack and was about to launch a second attack. However, the frost Dragon Whelp got the upper hand and thrust its claw at its chest. The claw hit the snowman hard. To Charles¡¯s surprise, the blow only injured the snowman and did not kill it. This was far from the performance of breaking an arm with one strike last time. ¡°Is this a skill from his life-bound beast crystal, or does he have some other spirit tool on him?¡± Charles forced himself to calm down. He stared at the strange snowman with a pair of torch-like eyes. As expected, he found a faint white light covering its body. This white light seemed to have fused with its snow-white fur. If one did not look closely, one would be unable to detect it. It was a spirit tool! It had a spirit tool! Which family¡¯s heir had fallen into its hands? However, Charles didn¡¯t overthink it. He just looked at the place covered by the white light, trying to find a flaw. As expected, this spiritual weapon was made for humans. It did not fit the snowman well, and the white light did not cover a few places. ¡°Frost Dragon Whelp, hit its left rib!¡± Charles shouted. Before he could finish his sentence, the blue figure shot out like an arrow from a bow and pierced into the strange Yeti¡¯s body! The snowman was almost unable to react to the Dragon Whelp¡¯s actions. The attack stabbed it, and it let out a sorrowful cry and fell backward. The silk bag fell to the ground, and the treasures inside fell out of the bag. The snowman¡¯s huge body turned into white bones as these treasures surrounded it. Charles sighed and stepped forward to check. His eyes were locked on a seemingly ordinary herb. Chapter 15 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The upper part of the herb was a bunch of unremarkable grass with a blue-gray outline on the edge. The lower part was a tuber buried underground with some dried soil. Its name was Septimus, and it wasn¡¯t hard to tell from its name that it was a herb with a Yin nature. The quality of herbs could also be divided into three grades. This Septimus was a third-grade high-level herb suitable for body tempering stage one. If the quality of the herb were too high, it would fall short. Charles untied the silk bag from his waist and took out the 30 drops of blood essence he had collected. He also took the blood essence of the strange giant snowman and put it together with the herbs. There were all kinds of strange treasures on the strange Yeti, and one of them was an alchemy cauldron. Charles guessed that it was collecting herbs to make some tonic. Charles put the blood essence and herbs into the cauldron. The cauldron was used in the same way as the Grassman. He just had to inject energy into it. He didn¡¯t know how much blood essence he needed to complete level one body tempering, so he put everything in. Soon, the herbs were neutralized into the blood essence, and the red beads became brighter and glowed red. Then, the red light flew out of the small mouth of the medicine refining cauldron and, little by little, melted into Charles¡¯s body from various parts. Charles instantly felt a violent force reverberating in his body. He knew it had begun to absorb the energy in the blood essence, so he quickly adjusted his breathing and tried to calm his restlessness. The blood essence was absorbed into Charles¡¯s body little by little. There were more than ten drops, but it still didn¡¯t stop. This body-tempering process took Charles an incredibly long time. Half an hour later, Charles¡¯s body finally stopped absorbing the blood essence of demonic beasts, and there were only three drops of blood essence left in the cauldron. In other words, he had absorbed thirty drops of demonic beast blood essence to reach the first layer of body refining tier! ¡°Could it be that my body has been strengthened by the system and is beyond ordinary people, so I need a large amount of blood essence?¡± An average person would only need ten drops of blood essence to enter the first layer of the body refining tier. Moreover, it was the blood essence of a demonic beast of the first bloodline. Five or six drops would be enough if it were the blood essence of a demonic beast of the second bloodline. Even a strong man who weighed more than 400 pounds would only need fifteen drops of blood essence of a one-bloodline demon beast or ten drops of blood essence of a two-bloodline demon beast at most. As for Charles, he had absorbed 30 drops of blood essence of a two-Meridian demon beast at once. Such a massive amount of energy filled his body, and an ordinary person would have bled from all seven apertures. Charles tried his best to calm his restless body. He felt that every part of his body was constantly absorbing pure energy. He didn¡¯t know where to use the energy in his body. He just wanted to run out immediately and do dozens of laps around the monster forest! ¡°Hurry, hurry, hurry, system, what¡¯s my self-disciplined mission today?!¡± A lot of exercise or fighting could speed up the absorption and fusion of the blood. Charles certainly wouldn¡¯t waste this energy. [Ding! [Today¡¯s self-disToday¡¯sd mission: carry a 400-pound boulder and squaToday¡¯stimes!] A thousand handstand push-ups! [ 6 minutes!] Before the system¡¯s voice had died away, Charles jumped to the rock wall where he had crashed into during the previous battle. He picked up a large rock as tall as a person and began to do a deep squat without stopping! During the intense exercise, the energy from Charles¡¯s blood essence that hadn¡¯t been absorbed and was rampaging in his body was gradually absorbed. ¡°574,575,576,577¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤.¡± In less than ten minutes, Charles absorbed about fifteen drops of blood essence energy. After a thousand squats, Charles felt he had experienced a lot and was not tired. He didn¡¯t rest. Instead, he pushed his palms up and did a handstand push-up. Handstand push-ups and ordinary push-ups were completely different concepts. The difficulty of the former was far more significant! But even so, Charles finished it quickly and could immediately go for a backup. Charles completed the self-disciplined task that would have taken a day to complete in less than an hour! At the same time, he had finally absorbed all the energy from the thirty drops of blood essence. Every inch of his bones, bones, and muscles underwent earth-shaking changes. Charles felt that he had more than doubled in strength. In addition to his extraordinary physique, he could barely defeat a two-star Grassman previously. He felt it would not be a problem to defeat a three-star Grassman. This was already the combat strength of a first-tier second Meridian subdued beast! Of course, it was an ordinary familiar, far inferior to the frost Dragon Whelp. [Ding! [Congratulations, host. You have completed Today¡¯s self-discipline task and are rewarded with 120 self-discipline ToToday¡¯sDing! [Congratulations, host. You¡¯ve completed five dToToday¡¯slf-discipline. The system store has been unlocked!] Charles opened the system store and saw that he had unlocked another item called ¡°evolution stone,¡± which required 20 points of self-discipline. [Evolution stone: A necessary material for a Dragon familiar to evolve from one bloodline to two bloodlines!] Charles remembered that the familiars of the older students in the Academy seemed to have eaten more supplements when they advanced to the second Meridian. In other words, only the familiars of the dragon clan would need this evolution stone when they were evolving to the second bloodline. This evolution stone could be imagined as priceless in the outside market. Moreover, only the prominent families with Dragon Tamers could use them. In this way, the price of 20 points was indeed not high. Charles didn¡¯t immediately exchange for the evolution stone. Instead, he exchanged all 120 points for the growth potion. After all, the most important thing now was to level up quickly. After drinking 120 bottles of [growth potion]. The frost Dragon Whelp burped, and its level rose from rank five to rank six. Right now, he could defeat the snow Wolf King even without using his bloodline power. However, its appetite was getting bigger and bigger¡ªone hundred twenty bottles of growth potions. According to the market price of a few thousand dollars a bottle, the frost Dragon Whelp had consumed about 500000 to 600000 Alliance dollars in one meal. As expected, only affluent families could afford to raise a Dragon. Even if a poor kid were talented enough to summon a Dragon, without the support of a large family, he would probably die in poverty before he could become a strong person. In the face of his system, all treasures were cheap compared to self-discipline. At the same time as the frost Dragon Whelp leveled up, Charles¡¯s body received another enhancement. In total, he had been enhanced five times. He then turned his gaze back to the pile of treasures from the strange snowman. Especially those two spiritual weapons! Chapter 16 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation That ring was completely white, and one could not tell what it was. The amazing thing was that even though it fell into this tunnel filled with dirt, it was not stained by dust. Let¡¯s call it the ¡°white ring.¡± Charles picked up the white ring and scrutinized it with the eyes of analysis. To a certain extent, the ring could absorb attacks of all attributes, store them inside, and release them at will. Magic runes were carved on the ring inside, activated by injecting energy to use the ring¡¯s abilities. Although there was a faint white light on it, indicating that it was a white quality spiritual weapon belonging to the lowest class, spiritual weapons were all very precious and rare, much rarer than beast crystals. This white high-grade spirit weapon, the white ring, was estimated to be worth more than a million Alliance dollars. The other spirit tool was also white high-grade. It was a green jade token with a red string tied around it, and three words were engraved on it-. ¡°Jade gauze dress.¡± This was a protective tool. When one poured energy into the Jade card, a muslin cloak would appear and cover the user¡¯s body, which could block attacks. ¡°The white light I saw on the strange snowman was this Jade gauze dress.¡± Charles put the white ring on his ring finger and his Jade silk clothes. He put the Jade card under his clothes and pressed it against his skin. Other than that, there were also the strange snowman¡¯s treasures and some beast crystals. However, they were either the lowest white grade or the highest green grade. The rests were some gold and silver jewelry, as well as some pearls and gems. They were all decorations and had no practical use. Charles put these things into the brocade bag and planned to find an opportunity to sell them in the future. After he was done with all this, a wave of sleepiness washed over him. Charles then realized that he and the frost Dragon Whelp had not slept for two days. One man and one Dragon found a comfortable place on the spot and took turns to guard the night and rest. ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ In the headmaster¡¯s office at Grinwood Academy. ¡°This kid has the potential to become a Beastmaster. Let him come to Grinwood Academy to study.¡± An old man with white hair and a white beard was sitting at the table in front of the window. The sunlight shone through the window and landed on the old man¡¯s body. He was wearing a pure white Beastmaster robe, like snow and clouds. The old man was Richard, the Dean of the Grinwood Academy of beast taming. Beside the Dean, a pure white reindeer stood quietly, like a fairy. Frost descends from Rudolf, a fourth-tier six-Meridian familiar. Upon hearing the Dean¡¯s words, the eyes of an uncouth little boy sitting in front of the table lit up, and he looked forward to it. The boy¡¯s parents were a little ill at ease. ¡°But, Mr. Richard, we don¡¯t have the money to pay for the tuition ¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s not a problem,¡± The School director waved his hand and said with a smile, ¡°I have set up many encouraging positions in the college. He can work part-time as a librarian or help to organize the peasants in the warehouse. I don¡¯t know which kid beat up all my four-star peasants a few days ago. ¡°Thank you so much!¡± The boy¡¯s parents quickly stood up and bowed to the principal. Beastmaster was one of the top professions in Middle-earth. If their children could become a Beastmaster, their entire family would be able to escape the quagmire of poverty. The little boy stood up in excitement. ¡°Mr. Director, I want to become a dragon Tamer. Can I?¡± As soon as he said that, the boy¡¯s parents were stunned for a moment. Becoming a dragon Tamer was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. This child was too ambitious. However, the director only touched the boy¡¯s head. ¡°You can try your best.¡± ¡°No matter how big a dream is, I won¡¯t mind it. No matter how small the person chasing the dream is, I won¡¯t mind it.¡± ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ After sending off the little boy¡¯s parents, the principal came to the empty field of Grinwood Academy alone, strolling around and clearing the fallen leaves. He had only made two rounds when he heard a commotion outside the school gate. Then, an Academy disciple, carrying a person on his back, staggered towards the empty field. The principal recognized the man. It was John, and the one on his back was Johnny! John¡¯s body was covered in blood as if he had just gone through a fierce battle. On his back, Johnny was unconscious, blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth. The two brothers familiars were lying on John¡¯s body. They were covered in wounds, and blood was dripping from their bodies. They were seriously injured. The principal¡¯s face darkened. He quickly walked over to support John and asked,¡± ¡°John, Johnny, aren¡¯t you guys recuperating in the school infirmary? What¡¯s going on?¡± John was silent for a while as if he didn¡¯t know what to say. The principal¡¯s face grew gloom. He reached out his hand and touched Johnny and his beast. Johnny¡¯s leg and arm bones were broken into several pieces. Three of his ribs were also broken. What was more serious was that his internal organs were severely damaged. There were no claw marks or teeth marks on his body, meaning he had been heavily injured. As for Johnny¡¯s familiar, the red fire lizard, all four limbs were broken, and the scales, skin, and flesh on its body were in a mess. It must have suffered quite a lot of internal injuries. The other party¡¯s methods were highly vicious. Even the principal wasn¡¯t confident that he could completely heal such a severe injury. If he was careless, the red fire lizard might never recover from this. John and Johnny¡¯s paths as Beastmasters would end here, while Johnny might develop a disability! ¡°Speak. What happened?¡± The hospital director¡¯s tone became even colder. John gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Mr. Richard, we were training outside the school after our injuries recovered, but two skinny young men came up to us, claiming to be from Dragon subduing beast college. They spoke rudely to Grinwood College, saying that we¡¯re country bumpkins and don¡¯t deserve to be Beastmasters and that they can defeat us above their level. Their subdued beasts are a seventh-tier and an eighth-tier, three tiers lower than us. We couldn¡¯t stand them, so we accepted the challenge. We didn¡¯t expect those two subdued beasts to be so talented, and their beast crystals were at least blue-quality. We couldn¡¯t beat them, so we could only admit defeat.¡± A man¡¯s tears would not fall easily. At this moment, John¡¯s face was covered in tears when he talked about the sad part. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect them to continue to attack us so ruthlessly after we admitted defeat, determined to cut off our path to becoming Beastmasters. Johnny was heavily injured, and I had no choice but to activate my bloodline a second time to escape ¡­¡± As he said that, Johnny took out a letter of challenge from Dragon subduing Academy from his pocket. The Dean picked it up and read it. It turned out that Dragon subduing Academy wanted to swallow up Grinwood Academy and thus took the initiative to provoke them. The time of the battle was set to be three days later. Chapter 17 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In the Demonic Beast Forest. Charles woke up the following day. He felt that he had slept enough and was full of energy. [Ding! [Today¡¯s self-disciplined mission has been released!] The system¡¯s voice rang out as expected. [Mission description: if you want to improve your strength and lay a solid foundation, you can¡¯t just rely on eating tonics and absorbing blood essence. You have to stabilize your foundation in battle!] ¡°Host and your familiars, please engage in a high-intensity battle with the demonic beasts in the forest for 30 hours within three days!¡± [Mission Reward: 1. After killing the demonic beast, you will be rewarded with self-discipline points according to the level and qualification of the demonic beast! 2. After killing an exotic beast, the host¡¯s subdued beast can directly absorb its blood essence and feed it back to the host! ¡°I see!¡± Charles¡¯s eyes glowed with excitement. The three days of this mission were the best time to level up quickly! Furthermore, the reward for this mission was based on his combat performance: the more work, the more rewards. The frost Dragon Whelp had already reached rank six of the first bloodline. Based on his usual battle experience, he could almost defeat the snow Wolf King of the second bloodline, rank seven, without using his bloodline outburst. The snow Wolf King¡¯s beast crystal was of green quality. If it was a white quality beast crystal, it might be able to put up a fight against a three-lineage familiar, the frost Dragon! As for those familiars with blue and purple beast crystals, Charles had never encountered them before, so he wasn¡¯t too sure. However, he could imagine defeating them wouldn¡¯t be as easy as the snow Wolf King. However, these subdued beasts were extremely rare, to begin with. As such, Charles decided to walk a little deeper into the forest. The exotic beasts deeper in were more muscular, their blood essence purer, and they would gain more self-discipline after killing them. ¡°Roar!¡± Just as Charles was about to set off, a scarlet figure leaped out of the forest not far away. It pounded its chest with its fist and roared! Red-eyed fire baboon, Rank one second Meridian. ¡°Frost Dragon Whelp, don¡¯t attack. Let me do it!¡± Charles hurriedly stopped the frost Dragon Whelp that was about to step forward. The other party was too weak, and there was no doubt that the frost Dragon Whelp should be the one to fight him. He might as well take this opportunity to test his strength! Charles strode forward and struck out with his hand, which had the white ring. A palm-shaped shock wave appeared in front of the red-eyed fire baboon in the blink of an eye. ¡°Bang!¡± The red-eyed fire baboon saw the other party¡¯s subdued beast not moving, but the Beastmaster charging straight at it. It had never seen such a strange scene before. I couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback. Unable to dodge in time, it was struck by the palm and was sent flying. ¡°Come, come, come, fight me!¡± Charles followed up with a few more palm strikes, aiming for the red-eyed fire baboon¡¯s vital points. ¡°Roar!¡± The red-eyed fire baboon roared, and its fur burst into flames. It waved its arms almost as long as its body and met Charles¡¯s palms. At that moment, Charles sprinted towards the fire baboon with his enhanced body. His right hand was already on the fire baboon¡¯s chest, and the snow-white ring refracted the sunlight as he launched a powerful attack. Victory and defeat had been decided. The fire baboon threw a punch at Charles, but the flaming punch did not affect Charles Jade silk. It was expected because even a rank five Frost Dragon Whelp could only leave a few bloody marks on the Yeti¡¯s body. It couldn¡¯t even cause serious injuries. With a loud bang, Charles hit the red-eyed fire baboon¡¯s vital point and embedded it into the soil, losing its life. [Ding! [Congratulations to the user for killing a rank one second Meridian red-eyed fire baboon. You have been rewarded with five self-discipline points!] [With the addition of green beast crystals, you¡¯ve gained two more autonomous points!] Killing a red-eyed fire baboon had earned him seven points! Charles was delighted. At this rate, earning 300 to 400 points in this high-intensity battle for 30 hours wouldn¡¯t be a problem! At the same time, three drops of blood essence flew out of the red-eyed fire baboon¡¯s body and fused into the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s body. Directly absorbed! This demonic beast¡¯s blood essence might only have the effect of recovering the frost Dragon¡¯s physical strength and strengthening its unique ability. However, if it were fed back to Charles, it would improve his physique and push him towards the second level of body refining! Charles felt that his body had reached a higher level than when he had just reached the first layer of the body refining tier. Whether it was strength or agility, they had all improved. ¡°Frost Dragon Whelp, let¡¯s head deeper into the demonic beast forest.¡± ¡°Go!¡± Charles shouted. He exerted strength in his feet and rushed toward the hinterland of the monster forest at superhuman speed. This speed was comparable to some monstrous beasts. However, it was prolonged for the frost Dragon Whelp. It followed Charles with a relaxed expression as if it didn¡¯t have any strength at all. ¡°The Dragon race¡¯s physique is truly terrifying.¡± Charles mumbled and continued forward. They walked for two to three hours. They encountered a lot of demonic beasts, but their levels were not high. Most of them were from the first or second bloodline, and their beast crystals were mainly green. There was only one demonic beast from the first rank of the third bloodline, but its beast crystal was white. Three meridians were almost the peak of white beast crystals. Charles had also frequently taken action in the battle with these demonic beasts, and the number of kills was comparable to the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s. This made the Dragon Whelp a little depressed, even though it was the one who had killed all the powerful exotic beasts. As for Charles, he had a different experience, too. Hiding behind his subdued beasts wasn¡¯t what he wanted. The Beastmaster and subdued beast working together was the ideal coordinated combat he wanted. As he fought, Charles gained 119 points of discipline. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll stop here for now.¡± They arrived at a small lake in the forest. The lake¡¯s surface was like a mirror, without a single ripple. It was as if fragments of the sky had fallen into the dust. It was lovely. Charles stopped. He planned to place the high-intensity battle in the vicinity. The level of the exotic beasts here was already very high. At least, Charles wouldn¡¯t be able to get involved. It would be dangerous if they went any further. ¡°Let¡¯s rest here for a while. ¡± Charles put his backpack down on the lake¡¯s green field and took out some dry food. This food was the standard for every student who participated in the monster forest training. Charles¡¯s appetite had increased after his body was strengthened, so he put Johnny¡¯s share into his backpack. However, he was not in a hurry to cook. Instead, he scooped up some water and planned to wash his face. The battle with the snowman in the cave earlier had caused him to be covered in dirt, and in the long battle just now, he had also sweated a lot, making him extremely dirty and uncomfortable. ¡°Frost Dragon Whelp, you should wash up too. You¡¯ve already turned into a mud dragon.¡± Charles laughed. ¡°Coo, Coo.¡± The ice Frost Dragon Whelp rolled its eyes and moved closer. When it saw the reflection in the lake water, it saw a black, muddy figure. It was so dirty that its original color could not be seen clearly. It was a Dragon that loved cleanliness. It quickly scooped up some water with its dragon claws and splashed it on its stomach, intending to wash it well. Unexpectedly, just as the ice Frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s body near the lake¡¯s surface¡­ A long and narrow tongue suddenly stretched out from the water. This big mouth was green in color and was covered with thick skin. It was a full meter long. This was a ruler that extended out of the water. There must be a massive object under the water. Chapter 18 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Charles was taken aback. This exotic beast had been lying in ambush here all along, and his analytical eyes didn¡¯t discover it! It wasn¡¯t until just now, when the exotic beast launched a sudden attack, that Charles saw the beast crystal through his ¡®analytical eyes¡¯. Blue low-tier! It was the first time he had seen a blue quality beast crystal. The long, narrow mouth bit the frost Dragon Whelp and then dragged it into the water at lightning speed. ¡®F*ck! F*ck!¡¯ Charles desperately jumped on the spot and hit the water with his white ring palm, but he didn¡¯t know if it was effective. This blue-quality crystal-like exotic beast was not an ordinary one. Not only that, it was dragging the frost Dragon into the water. The situation was highly unfavorable to it. However, in the next second. The mirror-like surface of the water suddenly burst into a splash, followed by a huge blue-gray crocodile thrown to the ground and rolling in the soil. The frost dragon¡¯s claws made three round and small bloody holes on its stomach. The frost Dragon Whelp must have used its dragon claws to pierce its stomach and throw it out of the water. The crocodile¡¯s mouth was very familiar. It was the demonic beast that had attacked Charles and the others. ¡°Hidden water green crocodile, rank 7 of the second bloodline.¡± Charles said in a deep voice as he quickly retreated. A battle of this level was not something he could participate in. With another splash, the frost Dragon Whelp jumped out of the water. The mud on its body had already been washed off, and its sapphire-like scales glistened under the sun. It angrily ¡°Goo Goo¡± squeaked twice, and then its body disappeared instantly. In a flash, it appeared in front of the aquatic green crocodile. One of its claws blocked the dark green tail sweeping over, and the other claw struck down, directly nailing the aquatic green crocodile¡¯s head into the soil. The bite force of a crocodile was terrifying because it had a very developed masseter muscle. But the more subtle thing was that the crocodile¡¯s opening of its mouth was relatively weak. Dragons were natural warriors. This saying didn¡¯t only refer to the Dragon race¡¯s abnormal physical strength and speed but also their courage to press forward. The Dragon race¡¯s battle instincts and insight were also quite terrifying. They could see through the weaknesses of many opponents with a single glance. The frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s move was exactly what the opponent wanted. The concealed water-green crocodile was suppressed so much that it couldn¡¯t open its mouth, and its thick tail couldn¡¯t attack the frost Dragon Whelp. On the other hand, the frost Dragon Whelp stuck close to the crocodile¡¯s body. Its tail, covered in tough dragon scales, continuously whipped the crocodile¡¯s body like a machine gun. The crocodile¡¯s rough green skin could not withstand such attacks at all. The crocodile¡¯s skin and flesh were torn open in a short while. A blue-quality beast crystal second-vein Level Seven exotic beast had been taken care of just like that! The three drops of blood essence that glowed red fused. This blood essence was purer than the previous one and contained more energy. Today, Charles absorbed nearly 50 drops of blood essence from a second-Meridian beast. He felt he was only one step away from the second layer of the body refining tier. And today¡¯s ten hours of high-intensity battle was left with a few hours. It was time for him to gather the materials he needed to break through to the second layer of the body refining tier. There were 18 levels in body refining, and the materials required for each level were different. In the later stages, ordinary demonic beast blood essence would be useless, and one would need more precious materials and tonics to break through. Charles calculated in his heart. Right now, he could ultimately withstand the bloodline outbreak of a rank seven Frost Dragon Whelp. However, the frost Dragon was leveling up quickly and was about to light up its second chakra. Therefore, his body-tempering had to keep up with the progress. By the time he reached the peak of the second layer of body refining tier, Charles would be able to barely withstand the bloodline explosion of a two-line Ice Frost Dragon Whelp. There were three other rare treasures to break through to the second level of the body refining tier, other than the demonic beast¡¯s blood essence. A blue quality demonic beast crystal, a Yin spring fruit, and a calming heart pill. Charles already had two of these blue-quality demon beast crystals. One was a high-tier blue crystal from a saber-toothed tiger, and the other was a low-tier blue crystal from a concealed blue crocodile. Charles had decided to embed the crystal of the icy saber-toothed tiger into the second chakra of the frost Dragon Whelp. He would never sell it or absorb it. Hence, this hidden water-green crocodile came at the right time. As for the tranquil heart pill, it was a pill that every senior student would have. The Academy distributed it to help them break through to the second layer of the body refining tier. There was one in Johnny¡¯s bag. It was mid-quality, but it was enough. Charles took out the tranquil heart pill and put his palms together. ¡°Brother Qiao ni, can you lend me this tranquil heart pill for a while? When I return, I¡¯ll go to the medicine store and buy a high-quality tranquil heart pill to return to you.¡± Then, he was still missing the rarest treasure, the yin spring tree fruit. Yin springs were distributed in all areas where demonic beasts appeared. The spring water was extremely Yin. Although the temperature was average, one would still feel a bone-piercing cold if one touched it. The bottom of the Yin spring was deep and winding. It went deep down, and no one knew where it led. Some people said the spring water led directly to the nine springs of hell, the Yin spring. Some people said that the entrance to the other world was under this spring. Yin spring water was extremely Yin in nature. Even a man in his prime would die from Yang Qi¡¯s exhaustion if he drank a drop of it. The Yin spring tree fruit was the fruit of the fruit tree that grew beside the Yin spring. Although this fruit also contained the components of the Yin spring, it had been diluted many times, so it was just right to neutralize the Yang Qi in the blood essence of a large number of demon beasts. There was a Yin spring in the middle of the demonic beast forest. Although it was in the central region, because it was perilous, ordinary students were not allowed to approach it. Instead, the Academy would send people to pick the Yin spring tree fruits regularly for the students to refine their bodies and breakthrough. However, Charles couldn¡¯t wait that long. He had to break through to the second layer of the body refining tier immediately to have an undefeatable position in the inter-Academy ranking competition. ¡°Frost Dragon Whelp, let¡¯s go.¡± After a simple meal, Charles packed up his backpack and was about to take the frost Dragon Whelp to the source of the Yin spring in the middle of the forest. Just as he was about to set off, Charles suddenly caught a glimpse of something glowing green in the soil near the bones of the Aqua-hidden crocodile. Charles raised his eyebrows and walked over. Chapter 19 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation There was a piece of green crystal between the soil and the bones. This crystal wasn¡¯t a beast crystal but a dark green crystal. It was flat and octagonal. When Charles poured energy into it, it emitted a faint green light. However, Charles didn¡¯t find this crystal when he examined the skeleton of the Aqua crocodile. Where did it come from? Charles held his chin and carefully examined the crystal, but he couldn¡¯t see anything wrong with it. He could only decide to put the crystal in his pocket before making plans. ¡°Frost Dragon Whelp, let¡¯s go.¡± Charles said. He put away the crystal and was about to leave. Suddenly, he heard a few hurried ¡°Goo Goo¡± sounds. He turned around and saw the frost Dragon Whelp running around in faraway circles. It was making anxious cries as if it was looking for something. What was it looking for? Charles was puzzled. This young Frost Dragon had lived with him for a long time, but he had never found any personal belongings of this guy. ¡°Frost Dragon Whelp, what are you looking for? I¡¯ll go with you. ¡± Charles walked to the front of the frost Dragon Whelp and asked in a low voice. However, the next second, he suddenly realized that something had disappeared. He was the one who disappeared! It was as if the frost Dragon didn¡¯t hear him. Its two eyes looked through Charles¡¯ body into the distance. Charles suddenly thought of the Aqua crocodile¡¯s sneak attack. He was a cautious person, and with the help of the analytical eye, he had checked the lake carefully before approaching it, confirming that no exotic beasts were lurking in the water. However, the hidden water-green crocodile suddenly appeared and attacked them. Charles guessed that it was this crystal that hid the body of the aquiline crocodile! Thinking of this, he stopped injecting energy into the crystal. The frost Dragon in front of him noticed him immediately and pounced on Charles, letting out a ¡°Goo Goo¡± sound. ¡°I see.¡± Charles carefully kept the crystal in his inner pocket. This might be an incredible treasure. Charles decided to call it a hidden stone temporarily. ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ The monster forest was not small. Charles took the frost Dragon Whelp and avoided the center of the monster forest. They went around in circles and killed their way to the Yin spring. A day and a night had already passed. On the way, Charles fought and walked, and the high-intensity battle lasted more than ten hours. The beasts in the middle of the monster forest were no longer of the first bloodline. They were all of the second bloodlines, and most of them were of the higher level. There were even two familiars with three lineages and green beast crystals. Under the eruption of Charles¡¯s bloodline, the exotic beasts were finally killed without mishaps. In total, Charles had gained 247 self-discipline points. And his body refining tier was also infinitely close to the second layer of the body refining tier. Only a breakthrough was left! Initially, he only needed 20 drops of blood essence of a second bloodline demonic beast to break through to the second layer of body refining tier, but Charles had absorbed 76 drops. Blood essence was converted into a permanent increase in the physique. Charles¡¯s second layer of body refining tier could be imagined as very different from ordinary people¡¯s second layer of body refining tier. Typically speaking, when one had just reached the first layer of body refining tier, they could already fuse their bloodlines with a familiar first tier. When he reached the third layer of body refining tier, he would be able to fuse his bloodline with a second Meridian ninth rank subdued beast. However, a Dragon¡¯s power was much more overbearing than an ordinary subdued beast¡¯s. An ordinary Dragon Tamer would have to cultivate to the fifth layer of the body refining tier before they could barely fuse their bloodlines with a second-tier Imperial Dragon. As such, Dragon Tamers usually could not perform bloodline fusion when their Dragon pets had reached a certain level. As for Charles, due to the system¡¯s strengthening, he could already fuse his bloodline with a first tier two lineage subdued beast at the second layer of body refinement and wasn¡¯t too far off from a Beastmaster. Perhaps, when the frost Dragon became an adult, Charles would still be able to fuse his bloodline with it. Then, his strength would be even more potent than an ordinary Dragon Tamer! Thinking of this, Charles looked at the Yin spring not far away. His eyes seemed more enthusiastic. ¡°System, can I exchange for a growth potion now?¡± Charles asked. [Ding! [The host can open the system store at any time!] The system said. Charles immediately opened the system store and exchanged all the self-discipline points for growth potions. There were a total of 247 bottles of growth potion. The growth potion would be absorbed immediately after drinking it. This time, the frost Dragon Whelp didn¡¯t drink bottle by bottle. Instead, it picked up a pile of bottles and poured them into its mouth. ¡°Many powerful demonic beasts are wandering around the Yin spring, so I must improve my strength as much as possible.¡± Charles looked at the young Frost Dragon, who was eating heartily, and pondered. As the level of the frost Dragon Whelp increased, the number of growth potions became more and more insufficient. Initially, 20 bottles of growth potions could increase its level by one. Now, 247 bottles of growth potions only allowed it to rise from rank six to the peak of rank seven and almost to rank eight. Two hundred and forty-seven bottles! Charles sighed. Soon, the growth potion would be completely useless. His gaze then shifted to the following list of items in the system store. Unfortunately, this time was different from the last time. This product was completely locked, and he couldn¡¯t tell what it was. There was a line of small text on it, ¡°unlockten days of self-disciplined card-checking.¡± In total, Charles had been self-disciplined for eight days. Soon, this product would be public. He put away the system panel. Charles looked at the Yin spring again. He led the young Frost Dragon and moved towards the spring. The yin spring wasn¡¯t big, about two meters in diameter, but it exuded a strange atmosphere. The spring water was gray and not clear. It was impossible to see what was inside. The ground around the yin spring was black, but it was not the rich black, but a muddy and ominous black. No weed was on this black ground, and the surrounding trees were all withered and dead. Their bodies were slender and looked like standing mummies from a distance. This place seemed to be a forbidden zone for life. However, it was not that simple. At the mouth of the yin spring, there was a dead tree with a mainly developed root system. Its black roots covered the ground like a spider web, and a few thick roots wriggled into the yin spring. No one knew where they reached. It was reasonable to say that this tree was the closest to the yin spring, and its body was the most withered and black as if it would break in the next second. It should be dead. However, a blood-red fruit was hanging on the tree branch. It was like a strange eye that opened in the darkness. Facing this most precious treasure, Charles didn¡¯t have the slightest desire. Instead, he felt very uncomfortable. A teacher from the Grinwood Academy had said that the yin spring fruit tree, which seemed to have withered on the surface, would produce a fruit every two months. It sounded like a mummy carrying a baby, weird and absurd. Chapter 20 - Chapter 18. The Black Crawler Chapter 20 Chapter 18. The Black Crawler But no matter what, he had to get this fruit. It was strange, but it was effective. Many pitch-black, ghostly strange beasts were not far from the yin spring. Most of these strange beasts had Yin bodies as emissaries from hell. Although most of them were at the middle stage of the second Meridian, these creatures were even stranger and more dangerous, so they couldn¡¯t be treated with ordinary eyes. The fruit of the yin spring tree would ripen in an instant. At that time, the monsters wandering around here would swarm up and fight for the fruit. ¡°These strange beasts have a limited range of activity. When the fruit ripens, I¡¯ll use my palm wind to lure the enemy while you go and pick the fruit.¡± Charles said to the frost Dragon Whelp in a deep voice. ¡°Let¡¯s finish this quickly.¡± ¡°Coo, Coo.¡± The frost Dragon responded. At this moment, the yin spring tree fruit hanging on the tree emitted a tiny red light. It had matured! ¡°Take action!¡± Just as Charles was about to step forward, something happened. Suddenly, a slithering black snake slithered to the front of the fruit. Its head was split into eight parts, flicking out its bright red tongue. He didn¡¯t see it for a while because the snake¡¯s body was like a burnt branch, clinging to the black tree and almost becoming one with the tree. ¡°White quality beast crystals and evil beasts can be snatched!¡± Charles gritted his teeth and struck out with his palm. The wind from his palm whistled towards the snake and knocked it off the treetop! ¡°Ice Frost Dragon, Whelp, go!¡± At his command, the ice Frost Dragon Whelp shot out like a bolt of lightning and went straight for the yin spring fruit. ¡°I¡¯ve succeeded!¡± Charles¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He struck out a few more times to disrupt the pursuers behind him. The frost Dragon Whelp rushed out of the yin spring in the blink of an eye. However ¡­ Charles took the fruit and looked up. In the night sky, six bright moons had lit up! In the middle of the moon, a faint blue light floated. He opened his eyes wide. ¡°Oh no, blue-quality beast crystals!¡± It was another powerful demonic beast! Moreover, the combat power of this demonic beast was not on the same level as that of the Aqua crocodile! Under the six bright moons, a huge cave-like mouth opened, and white light shone from inside like a furnace! Spirit flow impact! This impact was vast and rapid, and it came from all directions. Charles couldn¡¯t avoid it, so he shouted, ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± A light blue ball of light streaked across. Charles, covered in dragon scales and with ice horns on his head, dodged the attack at a breakneck speed. No, it was more like he took the attack head-on. as 11 When the spirit flow passed, it brought with it the cries and screams of countless dead people from hell, which echoed in Charles¡¯s ears. If not for the protection of the Dragon scales, this powerful spiritual flow would have been enough to disperse the Yang Qi in Charles¡¯s body and turn him into a dried corpse! As for the Dragon scales, fine cracks appeared under the impact of the spiritual flow! Charles¡¯s figure flickered, and he escaped more than a hundred feet away. This monster was too terrifying. They realized what the six bright moons were only after walking a distance. Its mouth was slightly open, and white spiritual energy was rolling in them. ¡°Blue high-tier beast crystal demonic beast, black crawler! 3rd Meridian, 2nd order!¡± Charles¡¯s heart sank. ¡°We can¡¯t fight them head-on. Retreat!¡± His body quickly retreated, and Charles increased his speed to the maximum. However, those empty, bright eyes were like ghosts in the night sky, floating not far away and could not be shaken off. ¡°What a fast speed. We¡¯re in big trouble now.¡± Charles gritted his teeth. Blue-quality beast crystals were much higher than green-quality ones, and this exotic beast was a Rank 2 three Meridian. It was the terrifying enemy he had ever encountered! The cracks on his dragon scales had yet to recover fully. If he were to be hit by another spiritual flow attack, even the Dragon scales would not be able to protect him. A monster of this level, even if the Academy¡¯s teacher personally stepped up, would only be able to end up in a stalemate. Although it was only at the third Meridian, its offensive power had reached the level of a fourth meridian. In the night sky, a blank space suddenly lit up. It was the giant mouth of the monster. Another spirit flow attack! ¡°Not good!¡± Charles roared and used all his strength to dodge to the side. At the same time, he spat out dragon breath to block in front of him. ¡°Shua shua shua¡± The spiritual flow rushed over, and the Dragon¡¯s breath was instantly shattered. A white wail enveloped Charles! A white light flashed. The bloodline explosion ended. The man and the Dragon rolled forward and fell to the ground. No, he couldn¡¯t block it. This monster was too powerful. The frost Dragon Whelp stopped rolling and grabbed Charles¡¯s clothes with its mouth. It used all its strength to drag Charles behind a large rock! ¡°Gugu ¡­¡± It opened its mouth as if asking about Charles¡¯s condition. Suddenly, the frost Dragon became alert. Six bright moons lit up on its head. This was the first time it felt so close to death. Just as the young Frost Dragon was about to rush over and fight to the end ¡­ Suddenly, Charles grabbed the Dragon¡¯s claw. The frost Dragon Whelp turned around and saw Charles holding a dark green crystal with a pale face in his hand. Charles¡¯s slender fingers touched the Dragon Claw. He injected energy into it, and the crystal emitted a faint green light. Not far away, the six bright moons suddenly stopped. Then, it started to drift aimlessly, obviously losing its target. Charles heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the frost Dragon Whelp, its scales were broken, and its claws were bleeding. It was obvious that it had suffered severe injuries. The ice Frost Dragon was only a rank seven one lineage, while the black crawler was already a rank two three lineages. The difference between them was not something that could be made up for by a racial advantage. They waited quietly, waiting for the black creeper to leave. However, the other party was like a ghost that refused to leave and had been waiting there the entire time. It seemed to have a very keen sense of smell. It knew they were here, but they had hidden through some means, so it began to attack aimlessly. Many of the exotic beasts that had been disturbed and came out attacked this colossal creature. However, when these attacks hit its body, they didn¡¯t hurt it. On the contrary, a single spiritual flow from him had reaped countless lives. ¡°Could it be that it plans to destroy this place?¡± Charles gritted his teeth. He and the frost Dragon Whelp were seriously injured. It wouldn¡¯t be long before they couldn¡¯t sustain the energy consumption of the apparition stone. Before that, it was very likely that they would be killed by the black crawler that was aimlessly destroying everything Why? Why are you chasing us? Charles¡¯s eyes were fixed on the blood-red fruit. This fruit was extremely Yin in nature and seemed to have a unique attraction to Yin spring creatures. Could it be that the monster had an unusual reaction to the yin spring tree fruit? Could it be that by negating it, he would be able to escape the monster¡¯s pursuit? Charles¡¯s body was currently weak. If he tried to break through to the second layer of the body refining tier, he might fail and suffer internal injuries. However, there was no turning back now. ¡°Come on.¡± Charles took out the cauldron and put the fruit in it. Then, he put the last three drops of the aquiline crocodile¡¯s blood essence. Energy injection. The medicine refining cauldron was filled with brilliant colors. The three drops of blood essence were the first to fly out and enter Charles. These three drops of blood essence immediately drew out the Yang Qi of the remaining 83 drops of blood essence and caused them to run amok in Charles¡¯ body! ¡°Uh!¡± Charles¡¯s body trembled. If it weren¡¯t for the system¡¯s feedback, which made the energy gentler, he would have exploded and died. Immediately after, a gust of extreme Yin Qi escaped from the cauldron. Chapter 21 - Chapter 19. Second Layer of Body Refining Tier Chapter 21 Chapter 19. Second Layer of Body Refining Tier Just looking at this extreme Yin Qi gave people a very dangerous feeling. The grayish-black gas was shapeless, changing in an ethereal manner. If it were an ordinary person inhaled this gas, they would turn into a dried corpse on the spot. Only Charles¡¯s pure yang blood essence could neutralize it. The ominous gas flowed into Charles¡¯s mouth in wisps, and a bone-chilling cold made Charles shiver. The extreme Yin Qi was indeed terrifying! The two energies, one yin, and one yang clashed in Charles¡¯s body, making him highly anxious. He wanted to scratch his skin and roar. However, he knew that he couldn¡¯t do that. Once his position was exposed, the black crawler outside would kill him and the frost Dragon Whelp at the first possible moment! Just as the confrontation reached its climax, Charles couldn¡¯t suppress the anger in his heart. He quickly took out the tranquil heart pill and swallowed it. A warm current flowed into his lungs, refreshing his mind. Charles instantly calmed down. He took a deep breath and adjusted his body¡¯s yin and yang energy Gradually, the two energies no longer opposed each other but intertwined with each other, complementing each other and negating each other. The neutralization process was over. The gentle energy gradually sank into the depths of his body and was gradually absorbed by Charles. The second layer of the body refining tier! Charles panted heavily. He had already recovered some of his strength, so he quickly stabilized the energy of the concealed stone. Looking into the distance, the enormous black crawler let out a sorrowful cry, and its colossal figure gradually disappeared into the distance. After a night. Outside the middle of the demonic beast forest. ¡°Bang!¡± The 2nd meridian, 2nd-grade mossy turtle, crashed heavily into a tree, turning into a pile of bones. Charles carried the injured Frost Dragon Whelp on his back and walked forward. The three drops of blood essence fused into the Dragon¡¯s body, and its injuries were slightly alleviated. On the ninth day of the self-disciplined clock-in, the frost Dragon Whelp was injured by the black crawler. Charles was the one who killed almost all the exotic beasts that day. Drop after drop of demonic beast blood essence was slowly healing the frost Dragon Whelp. It was almost completely healed. ¡°Zi Zi Zi.¡± When Charles raised his hand to another red-eyed rabbit, the white ring made a few faint sounds, but no more shockwaves were released. eserves ¡°It seems like the original energy reserves have been exhausted.¡± Charles took off the white ring and put it in his pocket. He still didn¡¯t know how to charge this kind of spiritual weapon. He could only wait until he returned to the Academy and went to the library to check. ¡°System, how much self-discipline do I have left?¡± (Ding! (The host has accumulated 77 self-discipline points.] (Do you want to exchange?] ¡°Exchange all of them for growth potions.¡± Charles said lightly. He placed the growth potion in front of the frost Dragon Whelp and watched it gulp down in one go. He was more or less relieved. They were still too low-leveled to be forced into a corner by a rank two three Meridian demonic beast. If it were the principal¡¯s second rank-six Meridian Rudolf frost¡¯s descendant, demonic beasts of this level would not pose a threat at all. Moreover, whether it was the red fire lizard or the black crawler, they were good at using their unique abilities to attack, unlike the frost Dragon Whelp, who used its sharp claws and scales to resist. He believed that the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s frost ability was not inferior to the abilities of these exotic beasts. At present, he had already collected ten vein essence condensed pearls of second-vein ice-type demonic beasts, and his level was sufficient. He was only lacking the ice crystal of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the principal¡¯s hands to upgrade the frost Dragon¡¯s Dragon Crystal and upgrade his frost unique ability. [Ding! (Congratulations, host! Your familiar, the frost Dragon Whelp, has leveled up to rank eight!) The system¡¯s voice sounded. The scars on the Dragon¡¯s body were swept away, and its scales became bright and dazzling again. Charles¡¯s fatigue from the night¡¯s battle receded like the tide, and his entire body was extremely relaxed. This time, unlike the previous times, Charles felt like he had just survived a disaster. The battle last night was still vivid in his mind, and the wound still hurt. It was a feeling of rebirth. He opened the silk bag beside him. In the past few days, they had killed more than 70 demonic beasts and obtained more than 70 beast crystals. Of course, the green and white quality beast crystals were the main ones. The blue quality beast crystals had already been used up when he was at the second layer of the body refining tier. Even the lowest quality blue-quality beast crystal could be sold for 20000 Alliance dollars. Only a tiny portion of the students in the second layer of body refining tier was in the Grinwood Beast College. Most of the older students had only reached the peak of the first layer of the body refining tier. They could barely perform the bloodline explosion fusion of a second-tier familiar. Grinwood Academy was very supportive of their students¡¯ body tempering. The Academy distributed the tranquil heart pill, which was adequate for all. Even the fruit of the Yin spring tree could be applied to receive it. IS Most of them were stumped by this blue-quality beast crystal. Charles did some calculations. The beast crystals he had harvested in the past three days were enough to sell for 800000 Alliance dollars. When he left the monster forest, this would be a considerable fortune. Besides that, the green concealing stone was one of the most precious things he had ever obtained. It could completely erase the aura of humans and demon beasts, and even the analytic eye couldn¡¯t see through it. Charles didn¡¯t know whether this was a spiritual weapon or a rare treasure, but it would be a powerful weapon in future battles. As for the strange giant snowman¡¯s medicine refining cauldron, after Charles¡¯ observation, it was a level two medicine refining cauldron. He didn¡¯t know which Alchemist it belonged to. If it was sold, it could be sold for at least 100000 Alliance dollars, which was very valuable. As mentioned before, Beastmasters was one of the noblest professions in Middle-earth, and the other noble profession was Alchemist. The growth potions on the market, the healing potions for nurses, the low-level pills, calming pills, and so on were all made by alchemists. Alchemists were divided into nine levels, from low-level to level nine, and the level two Medicine refining cauldrons were naturally used by level two alchemists. This Level 2 medicine refining cauldron could refine beginner-level elixirs like the tranquil heart pill. It could also refine high-level elixirs, such as the element condensation pill. This pill was an essential elixir to break through to the third level of the body refining tier. He could also make some potions, such as healing potions. This experience made Charles feel that he lacked preparation before taking action. He couldn¡¯t absorb blood essence for treatment every time. Next time, he had to prepare a sufficient amount of healing potions. If the potions shop sold out, he would make them himself. Just as Charles was counting his gains ¡­ Suddenly, the frost Dragon Whelp stood up from the ground and looked around alertly. The surrounding scenery gradually became blurry. A thick white mist had appeared out of nowhere. The miasma in the forest had appeared a day earlier! Chapter 22 - Chapter 20. Miasma in The Forest Chapter 22 Chapter 20. Miasma in The Forest The rolling white mist began to spread from the center of the monster forest to the outside. In the mist, many pairs of eyes of different colors and strange bodies could not be described. They moved in the mist, and it was unclear what kind of creatures they were. The originally lively demonic beast forest was now completely silent. The birds in the sky and the animals in the forest seemed to have disappeared into thin air. No one knew where they went. Only the roars of demonic beasts could be heard. It was dangerous! Charles stared at the haze that was spreading not far away. The feeling of danger made him subconsciously decide to escape immediately! The haze was coming from the center of the forest. There was no lack of four or five lineage exotic beasts and quite a few blue quality beast crystals. It wasn¡¯t impossible for exotic beasts with purple quality beast crystals to appear. The current Charles wasn¡¯t a match for those exotic beasts. His figure retreated rapidly as he brought the ice Frost Dragon Whelp with him and ran towards the outskirts of the forest with all his might. However, after a few steps, Charles suddenly slowed down. Looking at the dense amount of beast crystals in the haze and the three hours of mission time left on the system panel ¡­ He suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity. What came with the haze was a dense beast tide. And now, he just happened to have a high-intensity combat mission. The reward was given according to the number of kills. By absorbing blood essence, he could fight and replenish his supplies simultaneously. This was an excellent opportunity to level up! The Frost Dragon Whelp was already at tier eight of the same lineage. It was much stronger than before. At a glance, most of the beast crystals in the beast tide were either green or white. The others from the beast Tamer school might not be able to deal with it, but Charles still could fight it. What¡¯s more, the beast crystals of these demon beasts were still bright in the haze. It could be said that the enemy was in the light while he was in the dark. He could altogether avoid the powerful ones. The blue crystal Beast was moving outside of the other party¡¯s perception. Thinking of this, Charles no longer retreated to the outskirts of the monster forest. He turned his head and whispered to the frost Dragon Whelp below him, ¡°Get ready; there¡¯s a tough battle to fight!¡± ¡°Gugu!¡± In the blink of an eye, the figure of a man and a Dragon were surrounded by white miasma. One couldn¡¯t even see their fingers in a world filled with mist. The beast crystals were shining in great numbers, like the stars in the sky. Charles was probably the first to enter the haze and see this scene. ¡°Shua shua shua With a shrill howl, two beast crystals glowing with white light suddenly approached Charles. ¡°Kill!¡± Under Charles¡¯s command, the frost Dragon Whelp charged in the direction he pointed. In a breath¡¯s time, two red flowers bloomed in the White mist, and the two exotic beasts were buried under the Dragon¡¯s claws. Then, a blue beast crystal fluttered and passed by Charles. ¡°Avoid it,¡± Charles said to himself. He grabbed the green obsidian in his arms and injected energy into it. The human and Dragon¡¯s figures were hidden in the White mist, bypassing the powerful exotic Beast and continuing the battle from another route. Following this guerilla strategy, Charles circled the demon beast forest and killed more than 50 exotic beasts in two hours. Over a hundred drops of blood essence returned to his body, and Charles felt his body heat up slightly. Pure energy swam through his body and gradually settled into every cell. His strength also rose to the middle of the second level of the body refining tier. Just as the battle helicopter was enjoying itself, a purple light suddenly appeared in the sky. Charles was slightly stunned. Purple beast crystal. There were such terrifying, strange beasts in the demonic beast forest. Wherever the purple beast crystal went, the white, green, and blue beast crystals around it extinguished one after another. Some of the aftershocks of the attack even brushed against Charles, bringing with it a faint smell of blood. Charles watched from a distance, unable to imagine what kind of slaughter had occurred there. It was better to avoid this exotic Beast for the time being Moreover, the haze in the forest had some effect on Charles. The haze contained toxins, and ordinary people might rot and be unable to breathe in less than ten minutes. Charles relied on his extraordinary physical qualities and cultivation at the second layer of the body refining tier to endure for more than two hours. He was already showing slight symptoms of poisoning. He was feeling slightly dizzy, and his feet were a little unstable. The time for the mission was almost up. It would only be more dangerous if he was out of the mission state and couldn¡¯t directly absorb the blood essence. It was time to retreat to the outer edge of the forest. Thinking of this, Charles was about to leave when he felt something pulling his feet. He sank into the mud and couldn¡¯t move. At the same time, the energy of the Jade silk garment was rapidly consumed. What kind of attack? Charles was shocked and looked down. From the fog, he could vaguely see a black shadow-like guy clinging to his calf like a leech. ¡°To hell with it.¡± Charles took off his bag and threw it at the monster. However, the monster seemed to have no physical body. The bag went straight through without any resistance. Charles slashed it a few times, but it had no effect. ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± Charles didn¡¯t hesitate and chose to activate his bloodline. A white light flashed, and the black monster was knocked out of Charles¡¯s body by the energy of the fusion. It let out a strange hiss. Charles looked at the monster in front of him. It was pitch-black with a white hole in the middle. He felt that it looked familiar. It was the black crawler! However, after looking at the exotic beasts around him, they all were floating green or white ice crystals. He didn¡¯t see any blue beast crystals. This could be a skill of the black crawler! Was it a long-range control skill? This was the first time he had seen such an ability. However, he couldn¡¯t overthink it now. Charles¡¯s fusion time was limited, only about two minutes. Furthermore, the bloodline eruption consumed much of his energy, and he lost a lot of stamina. His priority now was to leave the monster forest. He relied on his high speed to leave the black monster behind him. On the way, he killed a few second bloodline demonic beasts and rushed to the forest¡¯s edge. At the edge of the demonic beast forest. Half of the students and several teachers of the Grinwood Academy were looking at the outskirts of the monster forest from a distance. There, miasma shrouded the place. Students formed groups of three to five and ran out of the haze under the guidance of the teachers. After the disaster, they sat on the ground and panted heavily. Some unlucky newbie students fainted when the miasma appeared due to their poor physical fitness. This situation was hazardous. If one fainted in the forest at this time, they would unconsciously inhale a large amount of miasma, further deepening the poisoning situation and even possibly dying. Chapter 23 - Chapter 21. Death Without a Chance of Survival Chapter 23 Chapter 21. Death Without a Chance of Survival These unconscious students naturally became the primary rescue targets. ¡°Break!¡± After the sound of something breaking through the air, a tunnel-like hole was opened up in the White miasma. Hockins jumped out of the hole, carrying two teams of six new students on the stretchers behind him. They were all unconscious. As soon as these students were taken out of the forest, someone immediately called their names and sent them to the nearby first aid station for emergency treatment. ¡°How is it, is everyone here?¡± Hockins wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked up at the teacher tabulating the new students¡¯ list. According to past predictions, the vapor should have appeared the next day, but they didn¡¯t expect it to appear one day in advance. Fortunately, their students were all active in the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest, followed by instructors, so they retreated in time and didn¡¯t sustain any severe consequences. However, the cycle that had always been accurate had changed. What exactly was the problem? He didn¡¯t know why, but he had a bad feeling. ¡°The total number of new students is two hundred and forty-eight, and two hundred and forty-seven of them have left the Demonic Beast Forest,¡± The instructor in charge of counting the number of people shouted, ¡°We¡¯re still missing a new student, Charles!¡± Hockins froze for a moment. He should have heard this name before. This student had gone with the senior students to the forest depths to train. This wasn¡¯t good. Hockins had a bad feeling in his heart. They would have been surrounded by miasma long ago at such a deep location. In that situation, the senior students were at least in the first layer of the body refining tier and had some ability to protect themselves. As a new student, his physical fitness was no different from an average person¡¯s, so he would have probably fallen for it long ago. However, if those two senior students could protect him and get him out, his situation might not be so bad. ¡°The two senior students who formed a team with Charles, John, and Johnny, are out yet?¡± Hockins asked. The teacher in charge of counting the number of people shook his head. He did not see the name of this group on the list. At that moment, a nurse suddenly said; ¡°You¡¯re talking about John and Johnny? They¡¯ve already withdrawn from the training and returned to school.¡± ¡°I guess Charles went back to the college with them.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right.¡± An instructor at the side frowned and interrupted, ¡°I¡¯ve been transferred here from the Academy for emergencies. There¡¯s only John and Johnny in the Academy.¡± ¡°We thought Charles was recuperating at the nurse¡¯s station.¡± After hearing the latter¡¯s words, Hockins¡¯ mood, which had initially calmed down, tensed up again. He thought of a terrifying possibility. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that the kid acted on his own and went back to train alone!¡± This sentence was like a lightning bolt on a clear day, and everyone¡¯s minds instantly went blank. In other words, everyone had entered teams, and only Charles had entered alone! It had been three hours since the haze appeared in the forest. The possibility of him being alive was close to none! ¡°I¡¯ll go find him.¡± Hockins hissed as he spoke. ¡°Wait, Mr. Hockins, what are you doing?¡± Just as he was about to rush into the forest, an instructor called. The other party said with slight regret, ¡°Don¡¯t be rash. With the level of danger in the forest right now, even if it¡¯s you or me, we won¡¯t be able to protect ourselves, let alone a new Beastmaster.¡± ¡°There are activities in the outskirts of the forest. We¡¯ve already carefully searched it once. Charles must have gone deep into the forest. Do you think he¡¯s still alive?¡± Hockins was silent. In the end, the few new Beastmasters he saved were still on the outskirts of the forest, but they were severely poisoned and had fallen unconscious. Not to mention that the haze was even denser in the middle of the forest. Even the senior students at the first layer of the body refining tier would not be able to hold on for more than a few minutes. Charles would most likely fall into a state of severe poisoning when he came into contact with it. Moreover, the forest of Demonic Beasts in the haze was filled with poisonous gas and many dangerous, strange beasts. No matter which one was picked out, it was not something the new students could deal with. Even if Charles survived the haze, he would be buried under the attacks of the demon beasts. He had no chance of survival. ¡°Let¡¯s go, quickly send the injured to the Academy for treatment.¡± Hockins let out a heavy sigh, turned his horse around, and led the group back to the Academy. ¡°Remember, many students were injured, and one died in this training.¡± However, they didn¡¯t know that ¡­ Less than ten minutes after the main force left. A figure jumped out of the haze. Seeing that they had left the boundary of the monster forest, Charles let out a sigh of relief. ¡°System,¡± (Ding! (Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have 188 points of self-discipline left!) Charles once again exchanged all his discipline points for growth potions. After swallowing the 188 bottles of growth p?otions, the frost Dragon Whelp did not level up. Its strength only reached the peak of the eighth rank. Now, with each level up, the frost Dragon needed more and more energy. The effect of the growth potion was getting smaller and smaller, and it could no longer fill its needs. It seemed that the growth potion would be completely ineffective when the frost Dragon Whelp reached the second Meridian. Was the growth of the frost Dragon going to reach a bottleneck when it reached the second Meridian? Charles was a little worried. (Ding! (The host has been self-disciplined for nine days!) (After another day of self-disciplined card-checking, the following product can be unlocked.] The system¡¯s voice rang out on time as if it was consoling him. Charles looked at the locked bar and became more and more curious. Let¡¯s hope it¡¯s a valuable commodity. For now, it was better to bring these new beast crystals back to the Academy and Exchange them for the Academy¡¯s Alliance dollars. After resting for a while, Charles made his way to the Grinwood Beastmaster Academy. Grinwood Academy had its trading center. The items that students usually obtain from training outside could be directly exchanged for Alliance dollars in the exchange Center. There was no need to go to the City¡¯s pawnshop to exchange. It was very convenient this way. Second, it also prevented honest Beastmasters from being scammed by unscrupulous merchants. At the same time, the trading center would also put up some medicinal herbs, tonics, and other precious items for Beastmasters to temper their bodies or their subdued beasts to level up. Some of these items were purchased by the school from outside, such as growth potions, tranquil heart pills, element condensation pills, and so on. There were also some treasures that the instructors and students had collected from the demonic beast forest, such as the yin spring tree fruit, various medicinal herbs, and demonic beast blood essence. As soon as Charles entered the school gate, he found that the campus seemed mainly deserted today. Chapter 24 - Chapter 22. Provocation Chapter 24 Chapter 22. Provocation The people from Grinwood Academy seemed to be much fewer than usual. Charles didn¡¯t pay much attention to it and walked straight to the exchange on the side. The exchange office was divided into small compartments, and they were all closed. Only one person could enter at a time. This was not only to ensure order but also for the student¡¯s privacy. After all, money should not be exposed, or else others might remember it. Charles chose an empty cubicle and walked in. ¡°Junior, is there anything I can help you with?¡± The receptionist was also a student of the Academy. She was working part-time in this position to earn tuition fees. Charles removed the silk bag from his waist and put it on the table. ¡°I¡¯m here to exchange for Alliance dollars.¡± After saying that, he opened the seal of the brocade bag and poured all the things in it onto the table. In an instant, green and white beast crystals and vein essence condensed beads of various elements covered the entire table. Of course, Charles had already taken out the real good stuff and hidden them in his clothes. He couldn¡¯t sell them. The receptionist was stunned by looking at the crystals and pearls on the table. She didn¡¯t expect Charles to have collected so many beast crystals. This was almost equivalent to the exchange¡¯s total transaction amount in a month! ¡°Senior Sister?¡± Charles saw her dazed look and waved his hand in front of her. ¡°Please help me count how much these are worth.¡± ¡°Oh, okay. Please wait a moment.¡± The receptionist finally came back to her senses and carefully calculated for him. senses ¡°There are 52 low-grade white beast crystals, 44 mid-grade white beast crystals, 38 high-grade white beast crystals, 30 low-grade green beast crystals, 18 mid-grade green beast crystals, and 7 high-grade green beast crystals. These are all without skills ¡­ There are also beast crystals with skills and condensed beads of vein essence of various qualities ¡­¡± After about half an hour, she finished counting and looked up at Charles with a smile. ¡°All these things add up to a total of 1968000 Alliance dollars.¡± On the surface, she was smiling, but her heart was already racing. In Middle-earth, a piece of bread was only about a hundred Alliance dollars, and her monthly salary was only twenty thousand Alliance dollars. At this rate, she would have to work for nine years to earn that much money! Charles calmly put the 196 gold coins and several silver and copper coins into his pocket. He thanked the shopkeeper and left. Before he left, he casually asked, ¡°Why are there so few people in the Academy today?¡± The receptionist frowned and said worriedly, ¡°A group of people claimed to be from the Dragon subduing Beast Academy. They came here to provoke us, saying they wanted to merge Grinwood Academy into their Academy. They¡¯re challenging us. The senior and elite new students have all gone to the arena. I have work to do, so I didn¡¯t go there. I wonder how they¡¯re doing now.¡± Charles frowned. The Dragon subduing beast college came to challenge them. Why had he never heard of this before? From the looks of it, the school wasn¡¯t very peaceful when he was out for training. Something like this might be an opportunity to challenge elite Beastmasters. Charles thanked the receptionist, then walked towards the Beast Tamer College¡¯s arena. Beast Tamer College¡¯s arena. The Grinwood Beastmaster Academy was located in the mountains, and the arena was at its peak. The mountain was flat with bare rocks on its peak. The terrain was flat, and there was an artificial fighting platform. The platform was tough, and although it had experienced hundreds of battles, there was no single damage on it, only a few scratches. Standing on the dueling platform and looking around at the small mountains, The Beastmaster¡¯s chest was filled with a heroic spirit and his heart with fighting intent. On both sides of the platform were comprehensive viewing platforms in the shape of staircases that overlooked the entire stage. There was an uproar. At this moment, the stands were already filled with spectators. One group consisted of Grinwood Academy students wearing all sorts of Beastmaster robes. Sitting opposite them were students from Dragon subduing Academy, all in the same black uniform. On the highest level of the stands, the deans of the two academies were sitting opposite each other. The dean of the Dragon subduing Academy was a middle-aged woman with high cheekbones, thin lips, and thin eyebrows. She looked down arrogantly at the students of Grinwood Academy, while on the other side, Dean Richard stroked his beard with a helpless look. ¡°Pfft, pfft, pfft!¡± On the stage, an elite rookie from Grinwood Academy vomited blood. Beside him, a bird-shaped familiar was already lying on the ground, unconscious. However, the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s student was unharmed. He slowly walked to the front of the bird-shaped familiar. ¡°I admit defeat. I admit defeat.¡± The elite freshman of Grinwood Academy raised his head with great difficulty and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. The supervisor standing on the side of the platform announced that the Dragon subduing Academy had won another round. Next to Director Richard, Mr. Hockings was looking at the winning card. ¡°One win and two losses for Grinwood Academy, and two wins and one for Dragon-subduing Academy.¡± ¡°Dean, the first level of the competition is about to end. The gap between our scores is getting bigger and bigger. I¡¯m afraid that we won¡¯t be able to handle the elite competition later on.¡± Director Richard sighed. There was nothing he could do about it. Competitions between Academies were something encouraged by the Alliance, and Dragon subduing Academy was in the limelight. Perhaps Grinwood Academy was no match for them. Some of the teachers and students who had followed along could not help but sneer at Hockins. ¡°The Dragon-subduing Academy must have annexed many other Academies, and now they¡¯re even targeting us ¡­¡± ¡°They¡¯re probably coveting our Grinwood Demon Beast Mountain range. Last year, they bought many areas with demon beasts and wantonly killed them to level up the students.¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t even care about The Dragon Tamers on the continent.¡± ¡°Can Dragon subduing Academy even be considered an Academy? It¡¯s just a Beastmaster factory, a malignant tumor of the beast World.¡± Just as everyone was in a heated discussion. Charles had arrived backstage in the arena, the resting room for the students of Grinwood Academy. It was not an ample space but divided into ten single rooms. Because it was a temporary resting room, it was simple and crude, with mud walls, wooden doors, and no windows. In a single lounge, there was a faint sound of rapid breathing. Occasionally, someone would whisper in a low voice. Charles walked to the door and saw a young new student sitting on the bench through the crack. His face was pale, and his hands were trembling. Beside him, a teacher from Grinwood Academy patted his back and comforted him. ¡°Relax, Harry. If you can¡¯t hold on, admit defeat.¡± Chapter 25 - Chapter 23. The New Student Competition Chapter 25 Chapter 23. The New Student Competition ¡°Thump thump!¡± There was a sudden knock on the door. The new student and teacher named Harry looked up at the figure at the door in confusion. ¡°Since you don¡¯t dare to face the enemy, there¡¯s no point in forcing yourself to go on stage.¡± Charles walked in slowly, his eyes looking indifferently at the frightened new student in front of him. ¡°In your current state, I¡¯m sure you¡¯re clear that you have no chance of winning,¡± This sentence was like a sharp sword stabbing his chest, shattering the confidence he had been trying so hard to maintain. The new student lowered his head in sadness. The teacher frowned and looked at Charles warily. ¡°Student, please return to the spectator stand. You can¡¯t enter this place as you please.¡± Charles didn¡¯t move and said in a calm tone,¡± ¡°Sir, I¡¯d like to replace him in the battle.¡± The young teacher couldn¡¯t believe his ears. He glanced at Charles and saw the frost Dragon Whelp lazily lying on Charles¡¯s back. He seemed to have seen this familiar somewhere before ¡­ Wasn¡¯t this the familiar rated as C-Class during the familiar summoning event the other day? The teacher did not know whether to laugh or cry. ¡°Don¡¯t joke with me, classmate.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Before the teacher could finish, the new elite student named Harry suddenly opened his mouth. He looked at Charles with a severe expression. ¡°Even if I forced myself onto the stage, I would still be defeated miserably.¡± ¡°But you are at least an elite new student of Grinwood, the best of the new students.¡± The teacher quickly interjected. Even though the student in front of him was not strong mentally, he was still one of the top ten students in the Academy. The contracted beast was also a B-grade talent. How could he easily allow someone who had contracted a C-grade beast to exchange his qualifications?! ¡°Your familiar¡¯s level is already at tier nine, and you can defeat three-star paddies. You¡¯ve surpassed most of the people in the Academy, even surpassing some of the older students.¡± ¡°You may not lose if you give it a try.¡± ¡°No!¡± Harry suddenly raised his voice. ¡°Don¡¯t you know our Academy¡¯s tactics?¡± As soon as he said that, the tutor suddenly became hoarse, not knowing what to say. He was naturally clear about the Academy¡¯s tactics. Elite student Harry turned around and looked at Charles. ¡°I¡¯m willing to give this opportunity to you, but I have to remind you that according to our tactics, you¡¯re in a very disadvantageous position and will probably lose miserably.¡± ¡°What?¡± Charles¡¯s eyes revealed a probing look. ¡°What tactics? Tell me.¡± Harry sighed and poured out the game¡¯s format and tactics. The competition was divided into three rounds. The first round would be a match between the new students. The participants were all below the second bloodline. The second round was a match between the senior students, and the participants were generally at the middle stage of two meridians. There was still the final round, the match of the Aces. Naturally, he would be participating in the new student tournament. In the first half of the new student tournament, both Academies would select five elite new students to engage in one-on-one battles. The five victors would be given six points for their Academy. In the second half, the five victors would have to fight again to choose the three victors. The three victors could choose to participate in the second round of the duels or not. The new elite students selected by both Academies would be numbered from one to five. One was the strongest, and five was the weakest. However, the overall strength of the elite students of Grinwood Academy was not as good as the elite students of the same level in Dragon subduing Academy. If they were to fight according to their numbers, they would be completely wiped out, so they had no choice but to devise a plan. That was to use the number one from Grinwood Academy to fight the number five from Dragon subduing Academy, the number two to the number four, and so on, trying to win the first two matches as much as possible. In contrast, the number four and five students after that were no different from cannon fodder. ¡°Charles, you have to think it through. If you exchange with me, you will be student number five of the Grinwood Academy, and the one you will be fighting is the strongest newcomer of the Dragon subduing Academy.¡± Harry said. He could already conclude that after Charles learned of this news, he would choose to leave and not fight with that person. However, to his surprise. When Charles heard this, he just nodded thoughtfully and said casually, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll try.¡± ¡°You ¡­¡± Harry¡¯s eyes widened, and he was speechless for a moment. Why was Charles so calm? Previously, he thought Charles was confident because he didn¡¯t know the game¡¯s situation. When he understood the horror of his opponent, he would be as timid as him. However, from the looks of it, this person¡¯s confidence seemed to have other sources. Seeing that Harry didn¡¯t say anything, Charles acquiesced, so he picked up Harry¡¯s number plate and planned to exchange it with him. ¡°Wait,¡± The teacher stopped Charles. ¡°What now?¡± Charles asked helplessly. The teacher said seriously, ¡°I can¡¯t just replace an elite student like this.¡± ¡°This was supposed to be a losing battle. If you want to take his place, you must at least have some strength.¡± ¡°How do you want me to prove it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s simple,¡± As the teacher spoke, he picked up a commoner beside him. Four stars were marked on the Paddy man¡¯s forehead with a marker. Four-star Grassman. ¡°As long as you can last ten seconds in front of this insignificant four-star, I have nothing to say, even if you have the strength.¡± The instructor said. ¡°What?¡± Harry was shocked and grabbed his mentor¡¯s hand. ¡°Four-star Paddy man? You¡¯re not joking, are you?¡± Even he, one of the top five freshmen in the Grinwood Academy, could only defeat a three-star Grassman. The strength of a four-star Paddy-man was equivalent to a tier one two Meridian familiar! ¡°Of course not!¡± The teacher said in a deep voice. ¡°Which of the top three elite freshmen of Dragon subduing beast college doesn¡¯t have the strength of a Tier 1 second Meridian?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even mention the No.1 newcomer King, Rodriefus. He can barely defeat a five-star Grassman!¡± His words were undoubtedly a double blow to Harry! He was initially an elite of the Grinwood Academy and was even in the top five. However, he did not expect that the combat power of the elite students of other Academies had already reached such a level! He cried out,¡±1 ¡°So, the Beastmasters in the town are this strong¡­¡± Looking at his sad appearance, the teacher could not help but shake his head slightly. However, on the other side, Charles¡¯s emotionless expression surprised him. Why was this person so calm? Was it because he had no concept of the strong? Or did he have some strength? Forget it. We¡¯ll know once he tries. The teacher¡¯s mind moved, and he injected a stream of energy into the four-star Paddy-man in his hand. Chapter 26 - Chapter 24. The Louise Family Chapter 26 Chapter 24. The Louise Family A strange light flashed across the eyes of the four-star Paddy-man. The pressure almost suffocated Harry. Then, the figure of the straw doll flashed, and a rough face appeared in front of Charles in the blink of an eye. Ten hands covered in sharp thorns stabbed straight at Charles¡¯s vital parts. Harry¡¯s eyes were wide open, but he found that he couldn¡¯t capture the movements of the straw man at all. ¡®So strong!¡¯ He exclaimed in his heart! Was this the power of a rank one 2nd meridian? The speed of this Paddy man was breakneck! However, Charles¡¯ familiar was still in a daze and didn¡¯t move at all; it could not react. The teacher sighed in his heart. He had to admit that Charles¡¯s calm attitude earlier had scared him. However, from the looks of it now, this guy was just overconfident. ¡°AI, the green snake, shut down that rice straw person.¡± The teacher said, At his waist, a green, snake-shaped familiar shot out like a spring, charging towards the four-star Paddy man in front of Charles. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. However, suddenly, a light blue bolt of lightning streaked across, cutting off the green snake¡¯s path! The teacher¡¯s pupils suddenly contracted. The green snake¡¯s attack was blocked by Charles¡¯s familiar! This green snake was a second-Meridian level nine subdued beast with a green beast crystal. Even a five-star Grassman wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand this attack. Charles¡¯s familiar had arrived first despite launching later. Wasn¡¯t it too fast? Furthermore, what was it trying to do? After blocking the attack, the frost Dragon Whelp did not continue its attack. Instead, it crouched in front of Charles and the 4-star Grassman, not allowing outsiders to approach. ¡°Does this mean ¡­¡± All of a sudden, a thought flashed through the teacher¡¯s mind. Even he was shocked by the sudden thought. This familiar couldn¡¯t be blocking them and letting Charles fight the four-star Grassman alone, right? This was too ridiculous! How could a human body withstand the strength of a tier two familiar? With a life at stake, the mentor shouted, ¡°Green snake, quick, turn off that rice person!¡± ¡°Use your full strength!¡± Hiss hiss hiss The green snake¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent with this order. Its scales opened up, and its body seemed to have thickened by a circle. The tip of each scale had extremely sharp barbs. Thorn strangulation! Harry sucked in a breath of cold air. If such scales were to touch a person¡¯s body, the person¡¯s skin and flesh would immediately be torn open. Not to mention, this bright green snake was poisonous. A small wound would be enough to kill. The green snake was thrown in the direction of the Paddy man. The snake¡¯s body was like a sword, leaving an afterimage in the air. It was so fast that it was almost invisible. However, immediately after, the green snake strangely fell to the ground. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The teacher was shocked. About a second later, they saw clearly that it was that familiar blue again! When the dust settled, the green snake¡¯s body was tightly wrapped around the frost Dragon¡¯s arm. The barbs were grinding on the Dragon¡¯s scales, but they could not penetrate them. On the contrary, the triangular snake head was firmly pressed to the ground by the frost Dragon, unable to move. Crushing! This time, the teacher finally saw the difference in strength between the two sides. This blue-colored familiar would crush his green snake! Just as he was in shock, Harry, beside him, suddenly screamed! The teacher turned around and saw Charles standing at the side. No single wound was on his body, not even a speck of dust. As for the four-star Paddy man, its energy had been completely depleted. It was like a dead object. The teacher looked at him in a daze. ¡°You killed a four-star Grassman?¡± ¡°This Paddy man is too weak. It won¡¯t be of much help to my familiar. I should hone my skills.¡± Charles leaned the insignificant person in the corner and said lightly, ¡°How is it? Can I go on stage now?¡± ¡°Yes, of course, you can.¡± The teacher finished his sentence as if he was in a dream. He sat on the side and watched Charles change into Harry¡¯s clothes. Because there was no time to inform both sides of the competition, Charles had to be Harry. The mentor looked at Charles, quietly changing his clothes, and many thoughts ran through his mind. The elite rookies of Grinwood had been defeated in the second match, which meant that the plan of Grinwood Academy had failed. However, the newly joined Charles was undoubtedly mighty. This fellow¡¯s Ultra Beast was at least at the level where it could defeat a five-star Paddy man. Maybe this guy was the key to Grinwood¡¯s comeback! After putting on the number plate of contestant number five, Charles, accompanied by Harry and his teacher, came to the preparation area. From here, one could also see the arena. On the stage, the fourth battle was about to begin. The battle was between Grinwood¡¯s number four elite student, Elena, and Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s number two student, Louise Hill. A female student with blonde hair and blue eyes stepped onto the platform, followed by a fairy-like exotic beast. She was covered in white petals and had a few red cherry-like fruits on her head. Charles saw through his analytical eyes that this familiar was a blue high-tier beast crystal, which was already a top-tier beast crystal. Moreover, this subdued beast was only at the sixth tier, which surprised Charles. Harry whispered to Charles, ¡°This is student Elena. She has been the most talented student at Grinwood Academy in recent years. Although she came a little later, she is the focus of the Dean¡¯s training.¡± Charles nodded. A sixth-tier one-pulse familiar entered the top four of the elite first-year students of Grinwood Academy. This familiar¡¯s development potential was extremely great~! A few laughs were heard on the other side of the fighting ring. Then, a strong young man walked up. He had thick eyebrows, deep eyes, and an aquiline nose. He didn¡¯t look like someone to be trifled with. Harry¡¯s expression froze when he saw the man. ¡°It¡¯s him, indeed.¡± Seeing Harry¡¯s expression, Charles asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s this guy¡¯s background?¡± Harry¡¯s voice was a little low. ¡°This guy is one of the few freshmen with the most potential in Dragon subduing beast college, and he¡¯s an absolute genius in terms of talent. I¡¯ve also heard that he¡¯s ruthless, especially in his jealousy. He seriously injured several students in the Dragon subduing Beast College¡¯s internal competition, many of whom were proud sons of heaven.¡± Charles frowned. From the looks of it, this person¡¯s martial virtue wasn¡¯t perfect. Harry continued, ¡°But it¡¯s okay. This is an inter-Academy competition. As long as Elena surrenders, someone will stop her attack. Charles, you¡¯re probably going to make it to the second round, so I have to give you a warning ¡­¡± Harry suddenly lowered his voice and looked around as if he was afraid that someone would hear him. ¡°Harry, just say it.¡± Charles said. Harry whispered in Charles¡¯ ear, ¡°This man¡¯s full name is Louise Hill. He is from the Louise family. Chapter 27 - Chapter 25. Immortal Herb Chapter 27 Chapter 25. Immortal Herb ¡°The Louise family ¡­¡± Charles muttered. He seemed to have heard of the Louise family in his own house. They were one of the great families in Middle-earth. ¡°So, the Louise family has some power in the Dragon subduing Academy?¡± Charles asked. ¡°It¡¯s more than just some power. ¡° Harry took a piece of paper from his pocket and spread it on his lap. Charles looked closer and saw the list of Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s members. Upon closer inspection, this person from the Louise family was among the best in the first round of the elite newcomer competition. He also had a lot of fame in the senior students¡¯ elite competition. It was very likely that the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Ace contestant was also from the Louise family. How deeply rooted was this force? Clang! Just as Charles and Charles were studying the blueprint, the bell rang. The fourth round began. Elena¡¯s expression was severe, and she planned to strike first by pointing forward. ¡°The strange flower, use the gale blade.¡± The fairy-like exotic beast flapped out two green leaves, the edges of which were in a saw shape and pounced toward Louise Hill¡¯s exotic beast. Charles recognized it at a glance. It was a wind-elemental move. Could it be that this plant-like exotic beast was wind-elemental? ¡°Small tricks!¡± Louise Hill laughed out loud. His exotic beast was a pitch-black stone man with a rough and hard surface. The two leaves only left two scratches on the stone man¡¯s skin. The Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s audience was in an uproar. ¡°In front of the stone golems¡¯ hardness, this little attack is completely useless!¡± ¡°No wonder he¡¯s the second-ranked Louise Hill. This exotic beast is a blue mid-tier beast crystal!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Let¡¯s quickly end this battle!¡± Louise Hill seemed to enjoy being the center of attention and made a bold statement in front of everyone. ¡°I¡¯ll kill you in one move!¡± Before he finished his words. As tall as a man, the stone golem charged at the flower of wonder and Elena, its attack simple and direct, its sandbag-sized fist landing on the flower of wonder in a split second. ¡°So fast!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Elena cried out in shock and quickly retreated. After the flower of wonder was hit, it crashed into the pillars around the fighting ring, and its pure white petals were destroyed. ¡°Hehe.¡± In the stands, the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean twitched the corners of her mouth. ¡°What elite student? You¡¯re just so-so.¡± Charles was also stunned. This strange flower was so brittle. However, a red light flashed on the platform, and the flower of wonder was restored to its original state. However, one of the three cherry-like fruits on its head was missing. At the same time, many vines suddenly grew out of the stone man¡¯s body and pierced through it, causing it to suffer unspeakable pain. Charles was slightly surprised to see the sudden change. It was a grass-type skill. The flower had just started its bloodline, but it already had two skills, one of which was a flying-type, and the other was a grass-type skill. ¡°Immortal herb-type mutant beast!¡± Someone in the stands had already shouted. Everyone was shocked. Immortal herb-type exotic beasts were only second to the dragon clan in terms of value. A beast crystal contained more than one move. Moreover, the quality of the beast crystal of an immortal herb-type exotic beast could evolve. Although she was blue now, she could evolve to a lower-grade purple or even higher. At this moment, director Richard was also stroking his beard proudly. Louise Hill, on the other hand, was embarrassed. Moreover, the beast in front of him was more talented than he was. He gritted his teeth in anger and glared at Elena coldly. ¡°Damn it, I told you I would finish you off in one move, but you dared to plot against me. You asked for it.¡± He roared angrily, and the stone man suddenly seemed to have gone crazy. He pulled away the vines on his body, raised his fist with all his strength, and punched at the strange flower. On the other hand, the wondrous flower was lost because its level was too low. It was only a level six lineage, while the stone golems were already level nine lineage. Whether in strength, speed, or defense, they could crush the wondrous flower. A red light flashed, and the second life was used up. Elena was a little flustered. ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± A ray of light flashed, and the wondrous flower fused. The snow-white petals on her body made the originally blonde-haired, blue-eyed Elena seem even more divine. ¡°Struggling at death¡¯s door!¡± Louise Hill said fiercely. Two moves had just blocked him, and his lungs were about to explode from anger. He also activated his bloodline outburst and fused with the stone man, turning him into a monster covered in stones. His speed and strength had also increased by a large margin. He charged at Elena like a bolt of lightning. ¡°Earth fist!¡± President Richard had a bad feeling and quickly shouted to the fighting ring, ¡°Elena, that¡¯s enough. Just admit defeat.¡± Eleena summoned a petal-shaped shield with her hands and said, ¡°I admit ¡­¡± Bang! Bang! Before she could finish, the punch shattered the shield and landed heavily on Elena¡¯s body! Elena took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood. She was unable to speak due to the pain. In the stands, the students of Grinwood Academy were shocked. They quickly shouted at Louise Hill, ¡°That¡¯s enough. Victory and defeat have been decided!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t continue attacking!¡± ¡°This guy, is he intentionally interrupting and admitting defeat!¡± Louise Hill gritted his teeth with a ferocious look on his face. How could he hear the audience¡¯s shouts? This person was extremely jealous. Seeing that Elena¡¯s talent was above his, he was bent on crippling her. His fist, wrapped in rock, rained down on her. For a moment, the fighting ring was filled with broken flower petals. ¡°Enough!¡± Director Richard was so heartbroken that he almost passed out. He shouted angrily, and a white light suddenly emitted from the body of frost descended Rudolph, which directly knocked Louise Hill away and enveloped Elena. Louise Hill, who had been knocked away, jumped up and looked at the Dean with a pair of sore eyes. ¡°Oh?¡± A voice came from the spectator stand. The Dean of the Dragon subduing Academy crossed her legs and snorted coldly. ¡°Director Richard, you interfered in the battle and hurt my student. You¡¯ve lived for so long but don¡¯t have any sense of morality.¡± Director Richard¡¯s expression was cold, but the judge of The Beastmaster Alliance was still here. He couldn¡¯t lose his temper directly and only said, ¡°This brat deliberately hurt people and wasn¡¯t taught well. I naturally have to teach him a lesson on your behalf.¡± ¡°Old scoundrel, hurry up and remove your defenses. Let them continue fighting!¡± The Dean of the Dragon subduing Academy sneered, and a black leopard emerged from the shadow behind her. It roared, and the black impact shook the field, colliding with the White shield emitted by Dean Richard¡¯s white reindeer, causing the mountain to shake. Chapter 28 - Chapter 26. Insta-killing Rodriefus Chapter 28 Chapter 26. Insta-killing Rodriefus The situation was tense for a moment. If these two powerhouses were to fight, all the students present would probably be affected. ¡°I ¡­ Admit defeat ¡­¡± A weak voice was heard, and principal Richard turned his gaze to the fighting ring. In the center of the white light, blood flowed out of the corner of Elena¡¯s mouth, and her face was pale as she struggled to stand up. As for the strange flower beside her, half of its body was already damaged. Although immortal herb-type exotic beasts wouldn¡¯t die even if cut in half, their foundations would be damaged, affecting their future development. ¡°Alright, the fourth match is over. Dragon subduing Academy wins.¡± The judge from the beast Tamer Alliance announced. Only then did the two deans withdraw their familiars¡¯ skills. The medical staff carried the unconscious girl and beast away, and Louise Hill walked back to the Dragon taming Academy¡¯s spectator stand. ¡°You did a good job. A genius like that is a threat. It¡¯s better to cripple him as soon as possible.¡± The Dean of the Dragon-subduing beast college said in a low voice. Louise Hill said, ¡°In the next match, let me meet the students of the Grinwood Academy. I¡¯ll cripple everyone I see.¡± On the other side of the audience, Harry was so angry that he wanted to rush up and punch Louise Hill in the face. ¡°You¡¯re too much! This is too much! The Academy is supposed to be a place for education, and they¡¯re allowing their students to do this kind of thing?¡± Meanwhile, a cold glint flashed across Richard¡¯s eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t worry; he won¡¯t be smug for long.¡± ¡­¡­ The fifth match was Harry versus Rodriefus. A robust figure leaped onto the fighting ring in the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s spectator area. This person had red hair, an arrogant face, two thin and long eyes, and a face full of freckles. Beside him, a primate with long arms and legs was following him. ¡°It¡¯s Rodriefus and the flaming velvet ape!¡± A group of people in the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s audience seats screamed. ed ¡°Oh my God, Rodriefus is ranked first among this year¡¯s first-year students. Even in the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s freshmen competition, he has never been defeated!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the point of fighting? The opponent should admit defeat and stop wasting time!¡± ¡°The opponent is No. 5, the weakest one. He¡¯s here to be cannon fodder. Just admit defeat!¡± Charles ignored the crowd¡¯s discussion and walked straight to the fighting ring. His steps were slow and calm. Compared to the vibrant crowd at Dragon subduing Academy and the warm applause, the applause from the Grinwood Academy¡¯s audience was sparse. They couldn¡¯t believe that their contestant could defeat Rodriefus. ¡°Sigh, although I¡¯m angry, there¡¯s nothing I can do. Rodriefus is simply a monster.¡± ¡°Our strategy is clear. No. 5 is indeed a cannon fodder ..¡± ¡°Rodriefus will probably be one of the three to advance and participate in the battle against the senior students.¡± ¡°To be honest, if it¡¯s him, I don¡¯t have the confidence to defeat him.¡± In the fighting ring, the expressionless Charles and Rodriefus sneered. ¡°Harry, right? If you surrender now, I can still let you live. Otherwise, please don¡¯t blame me for being merciless when we start fighting.¡± Charles said lightly, ¡°That¡¯s just what I want. Go all out.¡± ¡°You ¡­ Haha! You¡¯re overconfident!¡± Rodriefus laughed so hard that his body was convulsing. However, the next second, he immediately put on a fierce expression and loudly ordered, ¡°Fire velvet ape, burn that strange Blue Bird to death!¡± The long-limbed exotic beast beside Rodriefus let out a strange roar, and its body was instantly covered in raging flames. The flames gradually turned red to blue and had a substantial impact. ¡°Blue Rose!¡± The next moment, a cone-shaped flame shot toward Charles and the others! The fire snake did not aim at the frost Dragon Whelp but at Charles instead, and it did not hold back its power. One of the basic strategies for a Beastmaster in a battle was to kill the weaker Beastmaster first. That way, the subdued beasts would become headless ants, falling apart on their own without being attacked. Unfortunately, this time, Rodriefus¡¯ plan failed. Charles¡¯ speed was faster than he had imagined, and he dodged the fire snake. At the same time, a bolt of blue lightning appeared in front of the fiery fur ape in the blink of an eye. ¡°How dare you get so close to the fire velvet ape!¡± Rodriefus sneered. Without waiting for him to speak, the fire on the flaming velvet ape¡¯s body became even more ferocious. A long blade formed by the fiery eyes slashed at the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s body! ¡°Alright!¡± The Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean clapped her hands and laughed! This move was a new one that Rodriefus had come up with recently. It was all-conquering, and even two-lineage tier five Beastmasters wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand it. With this, even if the opponent¡¯s subdued beast didn¡¯t die, it would be crippled. Of course, he was happy to be able to destroy a high-tier Beastmaster from Grinwood Academy. That meant he had one less competitor. As for the students of Grinwood Academy, their hearts sank when they saw this scene. He thought Rodriefus would hold back a bit because contestant number five was much weaker than him, but he didn¡¯t expect the other party to be so relentless! Harry had already closed his eyes, not wanting to see the scene. He couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen if he used the knife on his familiar. Perhaps his journey as a Beastmaster would end here. However ¡­ The next second, the originally noisy audience quieted down. Boom! A figure was sent flying out like a cannonball. He slid across the fighting ring and hit a stone pillar. He didn¡¯t stop but broke the half-meter thick pillar! That was a fire velvet ape! Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Director Richard¡¯s mouth was slightly open, and he could not speak for a long time! So strong! So fast! They didn¡¯t even have time to react before the flaming fur Nimbus was sent flying! In just one move, the strange Blue Bird had defeated the so-called strongest rookie on the field, Rodriefus. It had been so clean and thorough. Even a blind person could see that their difference was not slight. Harry was so excited that he almost cried out. ¡°With this strength, Charles will become one of the top three newcomers and advance to the next round of the senior students¡¯ elite competition!¡± Hockins and Director Richard looked at each other in the stands, and both saw the deep confusion in each other¡¯s eyes. Was this really that Harry? Hockins was in charge of the senior students¡¯ preparation for the mid-to-tough competition, while President Richard was in charge of the Ace-to-face competition. However, they had some understanding of their students. Was such a genius really from Grinwood Academy? Chapter 29 - Chapter 27. Self-Sacrificing Attack Chapter 29 Chapter 27. Self-Sacrificing Attack Amidst the clamor of the crowd, the adjudicator from the Imperial beast Union slowly walked up the fighting ring and announced loudly, ¡°The first round of the competition has ended!¡± ¡°Now, the first round of the competition will have a break. The second round will begin in the first half!¡± In the Grinwood Academy stands, Charles frowned. ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that the top three new students would be selected to join the second round of the elite competition among the senior students? Why is the second round starting now?¡± Harry said, ¡°After the top three are selected, they won¡¯t enter the elite division competition as participants, but as challengers.¡± Charles was stunned. ¡°Why do you say that?¡± ¡°In the elite tournament among the senior students,¡± Harry explained, ¡°both Academies will send three senior students to fight each other. The three winners will be awarded eight points for their Academies. As for the top three of the elite rookie competition, they can choose to challenge the winners of the three senior students and take away their bonus points. This is the challenge system.¡± Hearing this, Charles nodded slightly. Although there were only three winners in the elite competition, each of them would get eight points, which was more than the six points of the new winners. At the moment, Grinwood Academy had won two matches and had a total of twelve points, while Dragon-subduing Academy had won three matches and had a total of eighteen points. They had to win two matches in the next mid-tier elite competition if they wanted to win. As the two of them were chatting, the two fighters in the fighting ring were already ready. The familiar of Grinwood Academy¡¯s contender was a cylindrical demon beast. It was utterly black and crackled with electricity. ¡°An electric-type demonic beast is rare.¡± Said Charles. It was just that he didn¡¯t know what kind of method this demon beast used to attack with its round and chubby appearance. Was it using the electric current on its body to shock the opponent? However, this exotic beast seemed to have difficulty even moving. He didn¡¯t know if it could get close to the other party. On the other side, a short, chubby young man from the Dragon subduing Academy stood out. His black robe almost couldn¡¯t hold his fat. Beside him stood a blue demonic beast. It had a huge body and long fur. ¡°Ice field bear, second branch, level nine, Green high-quality beast crystal.¡± Charles was a little worried. Although the ice field bear was far from being comparable to the ice field saber-toothed tiger and had average talent, its level was too high. The ice field bear could probably get into the top three in Dragon subduing Academy because of the gap between levels. Clang! The bell rang, and the judge from the beast Tamer Alliance announced loudly that the battle had begun! ¡°Ice field bear, use earth splitting slash!¡± The Fatty¡¯s fat jiggled as he loudly ordered. The ice field bear let out an angry roar. A few lines of frost suddenly formed on its claws, shining with a clear blue light like a blade that had been quenched. The cold light was threatening and charged toward the barrel-shaped subdued beast. The pressure made the Grinwood students and teachers watching the battle gasp. One of the instructors mumbled, ¡°This attack is too powerful. Even my rank 1 three meridians flaming monkey might be unable to withstand this attack!¡± ¡°Ha, you¡¯re too ignorant.¡± On the opposite stand, the Dragon-subduing Academy¡¯s Dean sneered. However, the next second, her smile froze on her face! That was because, just as the ice field bear¡¯s sharp claws were about to touch the electric-type demon beast, the metal barrel-like demon beast exploded with a bang! After a flash of lightning, the familiar¡¯s figure disappeared. All that was left on the field was a ball of electric sparks. The ice field bear waved its claws fiercely, but it couldn¡¯t grab anything ¡­ ¡°This ¡­ Is this suicide?¡± Charles was also stunned. Under his eyes of analysis, he could see that although the beast crystal was still in the sparks, it was already a little dim. It was apparent that the beast had exhausted its strength. What was going on? On the dueling platform, The Beastmaster from Grinwood Academy, Scarlet, slowly said, ¡°Lightning flash formation!¡± In an instant, a bolt of purple lightning shot into the sky. After a flash, the figure of the barrel-shaped demonic beast reappeared. However, the electric current on it was already feeble. ¡°What the hell is this? It scared me!¡± Fatty looked left and right, and when he saw that the ice field bear beside him wasn¡¯t hurt, he felt like he had been tricked and was instantly enraged. ¡°Ice field bear cut that broken bucket into pieces!¡± The ice field bear charged forward again. However ¡­ ¡°I admit defeat,¡± Before the ice field bear could reach him, his voice suddenly sounded. In an instant, the entire place was silent. ¡°What? what did you say?¡± Fatty looked at Scarlet in disbelief. ¡°I said, I admit defeat.¡± Scarlet repeated calmly. What a joke! Everyone in the audience had a dumbfounded expression except for the Grinwood Academy¡¯s teacher, Hockins. ¡°Hahahahaha!¡± Suddenly, a lean bespectacled young man in the stands of Dragon subduing Academy laughed wildly. ¡°I thought that the old students of Grinwood Academy would be stronger than the new students. I didn¡¯t expect them to be so weak.¡± ¡°You made such a big scene. I thought it would be powerful, but it didn¡¯t do any damage at all.¡± Besides the lean young man, a thin man who looked very similar to him also echoed,¡± ¡°If you had known earlier, you would have admitted defeat from the start and not wasted our time!¡± As soon as the two of them took the lead, the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s audience burst into laughter. ¡°Such a powerful attack, yet it didn¡¯t even deal any damage. This is too weak!¡± ¡°I can only say that the ice field bear¡¯s defense is too strong. This move might be beneficial in an internal competition in Grinwood.¡± ¡°How can our Dragon subduing beast college lose to an opponent of this level?¡±. In the grandstand of Grinwood Academy, Harry whispered to Charles, ¡°The two people in the lead are the famous Blake brothers. Their familiars are curse demon dogs.¡± ¡°The second match of the seniors¡¯ match, the two-man team battle, will be between them and our Academy¡¯s two brothers, John and Johnny.¡± Charles¡¯s gaze was fixed on the barrel-shaped familiar on the platform. Looking at the calm expression on Scarlet¡¯s face, he felt that this move wasn¡¯t as simple as it seemed. ¡°The first match of the second round is over. Dragon subduing Academy wins!¡± The ruling staff of the Imperial beast Union announced loudly. A satisfied smile appeared on the face of the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean. As for director Richard, he looked at teacher Hockins, standing beside him. ¡°I hope that your arrangements will not go wrong.¡± Hockins smiled.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see,¡± The match continued. ¡°The second round, the second match, prepare to begin!¡± The Alliance judge said. Everyone¡¯s eyes immediately focused on the fighting ring The second battle of the senior students was the most eye-catching one. Because it was a two-man team battle, there would be two winners in this match! Chapter 30 - Chapter 28. Fusion Skill Chapter 30 Chapter 28. Fusion Skill The two lean young men jumped onto the platform and arrogantly said to the two brothers, John and Johnny, who had just come out of the preparation room,¡± ¡°Hurry up and come up. You defeated opponents!¡± John and Johnny clenched their teeth and stepped onto the platform. When Johnny was recuperating at Grinwood Academy, these two men provoked and seriously injured him, almost damaging his Foundation. Fortunately, director Richard spent a considerable sum of money and managed to auction off a high-grade healing potion. Otherwise, Johnny¡¯s path as a Beastmaster would have probably come to an end. Looking at Johnny¡¯s angry face, the Blake brothers snorted coldly. ¡°It seems like I was too gentle last time. I didn¡¯t cut off your escape route. You still dare to come up and fight me.¡± ¡°This time, I¡¯ll destroy all your chakra!¡± Johnny clenched his fists and said coldly, ¡°If I don¡¯t take revenge, I won¡¯t be able to eat or sleep in peace.¡± ¡°Then why are you still wasting time?¡± The Blake brothers jumped up, and two long, narrow dogs rushed out from the shadows! The two dogs weren¡¯t muscular, but they had the lines of speed. Their pitch-black fur shone as if they were cast from iron. Magic arrays of various sizes surrounded the two dogs. They were complicated and mysterious. ¡°Curse demon dogs. Both of them are rank two of the second meridian.¡± In the stands, director Richard¡¯s gaze was a little grave. ¡°And it¡¯s a blue mid-tier beast crystal. Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s students are much better than Grinwood Academy¡¯s.¡± At Grinwood Academy, a familiar with a Green high-quality beast crystal was already considered an elite student. However, among the elite students from Dragon subduing Academy, almost all had blue beast crystals, with only one or two green beast crystals. It was even said that the Ace student from Dragon subduing Academy who was going to fight this time even had a purple beast crystal, and the familiar of this ace student was a sub-Dragon! With such a powerful bloodline, he could defeat all the geniuses in the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s branch even though he had just reached the second meridian, rank four. Bang! Bang! Director Richard¡¯s wandering thoughts were pulled back to reality by a loud noise. Under the speed spell formation boost on their legs, the curse demon dogs were like ghosts, moving around the fighting ring at high speed. It was impossible to catch their figures. At the same time, the magic circle in their mouths spewed out magical light balls. Like water from a broken dam, it shot towards the two brothers¡¯ red fire lizards. ¡°This is bad.¡± Harry was shocked. ¡°Someone in my family once made a contract with the curse demon dog. It¡¯s said that every part of its body has its function. The one on its legs is for speed, the one on its head is for an attack, and the one on its body is for defense.¡± ¡°It can be said that it¡¯s both offensive and defensive, with strength and agility. Brothers John and Johnny¡¯s familiars have high attack but low defense, so they can¡¯t block this attack.¡± Charles, on the other hand, did not say a word. In his eyes analysis, the beast crystals of the two brothers familiars were shining with unprecedented brilliance! There was even an electric current lingering on the green light. ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± John and Johnny shouted at the same time! A dazzling light flashed, and John and Johnny¡¯s bodies were covered in fiery red Lizard armor. But this time, flames, lightning, and thunder were on the spikes. ¡°I can¡¯t be wrong,¡± The corners of Charles¡¯ mouth lifted slightly. John and Johnny must have received some buff. Could it be that the lightning brilliance array cast by the Scarlet familiars was a bonus to a specific teammate at the cost of its physical strength? At the same time, the Blake brothers also felt the surge of power from John and Johnny. Even though the magic light balls bombed them, they didn¡¯t move. ¡°This is bad.¡± The Blake brothers looked at each other. ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± For a moment, the spell monster dog turned into two clouds of black mist, which covered the Blake brothers with magic arrays of various sizes. ¡°Finish the battle quickly!¡± ¡°Attack with a concentrated formation!¡± The Blake brothers roared, and the magic arrays of all sizes suddenly turned from various shapes and colors to a blood-red color. Countless energy streams were converging in it. Then, countless laser beams shot out from the center of the magic circle, aiming at John and Johnny However ¡­ At the same time, an intense flame suddenly rose around Jon and Johnny. One of the flames was red, while the other was blue. The two flames intertwined and gradually merged into a ball of light like the rising sun. The magic torrent did not cause any waves when it hit the fireball. In the stands, Hockins looked at the ball of light with admiration and said to Dean Richard, who was beside him, ¡°The previous lightning brilliance array is an entrusting skill. When the familiar loses all its stamina, it gives the designated teammate a 100% defense and all attributes bonus.¡± ¡°As for John and Johnny, they¡¯re practicing a two-person fusion skill with only a 10% success rate to avenge their past humiliation. With the support of the lightning brilliance array, this move is enough to kill beasts below the fourth meridian instantly!¡± On the battlefield. Two-person fusion skill! Accompanied by a dazzling ball of light, John and Johnny put their palms together and moved forward. The two of them shouted in unison, ¡°Fire horn, United flames!¡± At that moment, a turbulent fire flow shot out between the two of them. It was as powerful as a mountain, vast and unstoppable. It covered the Blake brothers with rapid momentum. ¡°Dense defensive formation!¡± The Blake brothers shouted hysterically. The magical formations around them were interconnected, forming a defensive formation in front of them! However ¡­ Break! When the flames touched the defensive formation, it collapsed in less than a second, and fragments of magic energy flew everywhere. An extremely dazzling light flashed, and the Blake brothers uttered a series of miserable shrieks. The fusion of the bloodline in their bodies had been removed. The two curse demon dogs were covered in black smoke and lying on the ground, their limbs twitching and unconscious. The Blake brothers had been burned into rags, rolling on the ground and wailing in pain. It wasn¡¯t until a staff member came forward to put the fire on their bodies that they stopped screaming. Their eyes rolled back, and they fainted. After taking this blow, the two of them and their familiars were seriously injured. They didn¡¯t know if their future path would be affected. Pa! In the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s audience, a teacher slammed the table and stood up, pointing at teacher Hockins and cursing, ¡°Hockins! This was supposed to be a friendly competition, but you allowed the students to attack without any sense of decency. You¡¯re not worthy of being a teacher!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Hockins raised his eyebrows and sneered. ¡°You have no sense of decency? When your student provoked my student and severely injured him, why didn¡¯t you show any restraint? Friendly competition in the arena? When my student, Elena, was seriously injured earlier, your student disregarded her virtue and was so brutal. Where were your manners? Dragon subduing Academy punishes familiars, taming them into killing machines and suppressing and annexing other Academies only for the sake of ranking. You are the ones who should be ashamed of being teachers!¡± Chapter 31 - Chapter 29. Dragon Subduing Academys Conspiracy Chapter 31 Chapter 29. Dragon Subduing Academy¡¯s Conspiracy His words were deafening, and the Grinwood Academy audience was suddenly impassioned. ¡°That¡¯s right. Dragon subduing Academy has been purchasing demon beast-infested areas non-stop, allowing its students to kill without restraint to increase their levels. This is like draining the pond to catch fish!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter? have you already killed off all of the mist mountains we purchased last month? Now, you¡¯re targeting our Demonic Beast Forest!¡± ¡°The subdued beasts you¡¯ve raised only know how to kill and are numb. They¡¯re not fit to be Beastmasters at all. You¡¯re not fit to be called a Beast Tamer Academy!¡± ¡°How many talented Beastmasters have you destroyed? How many outstanding Academies have you destroyed? You have no conscience at all!¡± With the crowd¡¯s comments, the instructors from Dragon subduing Academy could not say a word and could only sit down helplessly, their faces turning the color of pig liver. In the stands, Charles noticed something and asked Harry, ¡°It seems like this competition isn¡¯t as simple as it seems?¡± Harry heaved a long sigh. ¡°Charles, how come you don¡¯t know anything? This competition is a so-called teaching quality competition initiated by Dragon subduing Academy, and it¡¯s recorded in the Imperial beast Union. If Grinwood Academy loses the competition, it¡¯s equivalent to proving that their teaching quality is inferior to Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s. In this way, it¡¯s perfectly justifiable for Dragon subduing Academy to Annex Grinwood Academy ¡­ At that time, we could only return to the village to farm. As for the Demonic Beast Forest, we¡¯ll have to hand it over to others.¡± Charles¡¯s expression became more and more severe as Harry continued. He didn¡¯t expect that behind this so-called friendly match, there was such drama. However, with him participating in the competition, the other party¡¯s wishful thinking would only be for naught. ¡°Heh, Dragon Subduing Academy, in your dreams.¡± Charles sneered. ¡­¡­ On the other side, the Dean of the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s branch secretly called Louise Hill to her side. She said in a low voice,¡± ¡°Hill, the second half of the elite newcomer competition is about to begin. You¡¯ll have to go all out against Harry from Grinwood Academy. It¡¯d be best if you could cripple him on the spot, just like the last person. A newcomer with such potential is a threat to us. We can¡¯t keep him.¡± There was a vicious look in Louise¡¯s deep eyes. He said coldly, ¡°That¡¯s exactly what I¡¯m thinking. I¡¯ll cripple his subdued beast even more thoroughly than that immortal herb-type exotic beast!¡± After the two finished speaking, they returned to their respective spectator stands and pretended nothing had happened. On the team battlefield, the ruling team of the beast Tamer Alliance immediately announced the victory of the two brothers, John and Johnny. Immediately after a short break, the second half of the elite rookie competition began. ¡°The first match, Harry from Grinwood Academy versus Louise Hill from Dragon subduing Academy!¡± Before he finished his words, Louise Hill had already stepped onto the fighting ring. He looked at Charles with a dark face, his eyes full of provocation. ¡°Harry, come up and fight me!¡± Louise Hill shouted. This roar was extremely violent. The real Harry, standing beside Charles, subconsciously trembled and wanted to escape. Fortunately, Charles held his shoulder and said, ¡°He¡¯s looking for me.¡± After he finished speaking, he strolled into the fighting ring. Unlike Louise Hill¡¯s manic aura, Charles was full of indifference and confidence. The frost Dragon Whelp lay lazily on Charles¡¯ shoulder, not even looking at his opponent. Seeing that he was being looked down upon, the veins on Louise Hill¡¯s face bulged. ¡°Kid, don¡¯t think you¡¯re strong just because you successfully ambushed Rodriefus. You¡¯ll soon know that underestimating me is the biggest mistake of your life!¡± Clang! The bell rang, and the battle began. A gloomy murderous aura hit him in the face. ¡°Earth fist!¡± The stone man beside Louise Hill had a murderous look in his eyes. He rushed toward Charles like a thunderbolt and threw a punch without holding back. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Charles. ¡°Quickly dodge!¡± The people from Grinwood Academy in the stands felt their hearts clench. They had seen with their own eyes that this move had broken through the flower of wonder¡¯s defense and directly caused Elena to fuse and separate. However, Charles just stood there without moving. He didn¡¯t even try to dodge. Even the frost Dragon Whelp didn¡¯t get off Charles¡¯ shoulder. Just as the punch was about to hit Charles, the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s tail, which was covered with hard dragon scales, swept out. It drew a half-moon arc and swept across the stone man¡¯s arm! Bang! Bang! Sand and stone flew in all directions. The stone man¡¯s body flew out like a cannonball. With just a light sweep, the stone man¡¯s arm was cracked and covered with fine cracks. In an instant, the audience was in an uproar! ¡°Well done! There¡¯s no problem in beating him!¡± Harry shouted. ¡°Go! Fight to the top three of the rookies!¡± Seeing this, Louise Hill couldn¡¯t help but shout in shock. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s exciting to put on a relaxed posture to attract attention deliberately?¡± ¡°This kind of psychological tactic does not affect me!¡± ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± In a flash, the stone man turned into a cloud of dust and covered Louise Hill¡¯s body. The dust formed a hard armor, rough and angular. ¡°Kill!¡± Louise Hill¡¯s eyes turned red, and he rushed toward Charles! His fists were like the wind, and his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He used a fierce earth fist to hit Charles¡¯s vital parts. ¡°The stone golem¡¯s bloodline is particularly powerful. Stone golems are both offensive and defensive exotic beasts. In addition, Louise Hill is already at the first layer of body refining tier, so their power has increased by a large margin.¡± ¡°This time, can he still block it?¡± In the stands, the group of Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s senior students discussed animatedly. ¡°This guy is not calm anymore.¡± Charles thought to himself. Without waiting for an order, a light blue lightning bolt suddenly struck out from his shoulder! Charles didn¡¯t use his bloodline power. Instead, he let the frost Dragon fight alone. He extended his Dragon Claw and met Louise Hill¡¯s fist head-on. ¡°You¡¯re overestimating yourself!¡± Louise Hill grinned hideously as his fist collided with the Dragon Claw of the frost Dragon. This attack will cripple you! However, the next second, blood splattered. The smile on Louise Hill¡¯s face froze, twisted, and turned into an expression of extreme fear. The arm that he had struck out with had been twisted into a horrendous sight. The huge force had shattered the bones into a few pieces, and blood spurted out! ¡°How is that possible? How is this possible?¡± He roared unwillingly and retreated a dozen steps. However, how could he match the speed of the frost Dragon Whelp? The Dragon whetted up to him again and swept its tail at his waist. He was immediately sent flying in a circle. Chapter 32 - Chapter 30. A Big Defeat For Louise Hill Chapter 32 Chapter 30. A Big Defeat For Louise Hill The Frost Dragon didn¡¯t stop there. It took a step forward and chased after him, sweeping its tail again. ¡°Wait, I admit ¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, the tail had slapped Louise Hill¡¯s face. Bang! Bang! Louise Hill¡¯s words were interrupted abruptly and turned into a series of shrill screams. His body fell to the ground like a broken sack, and the blood fusion between him and the stone man was also terminated. The frost Dragon didn¡¯t attack again. After all, in the current state of Louise Hill, if it didn¡¯t control its strength well, it might turn him into a vegetable. Charles walked up to Louise Hill. At this time, everyone in the audience was stunned. They didn¡¯t expect Charles to defeat Louise Hill without using bloodline power. Moreover, Louise Hill could be abused. How powerful would he be if he were to use his full strength? ¡°Heavens, this familiar didn¡¯t use any skills, but its physical fitness is too terrifying!¡± ¡°Its speed and attack power is far superior to Charles Hill¡¯s after his bloodline burst. Is this a familiar of the same bloodline?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then it¡¯s very likely that he¡¯ll win in the second round. Even the senior students can¡¯t defeat him!¡± In the audience, John and Johnny looked at Charles in shock. Johnny, don¡¯t you think that familiar ¡­ Looks familiar?¡± John turned to look at Johnny. Johnny nodded and said, ¡°Harry¡¯s familiar is almost the same as Charles¡¯.¡± ¡°Is it the same type of familiar?¡± John held his chin in his hand. Did this mean that Charles¡¯ familiar was powerful? It was just that it had not been developed well. As for Director Richard, he was also profoundly shocked by the strength that Charles had displayed. He stroked his beard and said softly, ¡°Perhaps this child will be the first to reach that place.¡± At this moment, the instructors and students of the Dragon subduing Academy were also dumbfounded. After a long time, someone shouted at Charles, ¡°Hey, stop!¡± ¡°This is a game. Do you want to be fouled?¡± ¡°Foul?¡± Charles punched Louise Hill, who just stood up, and sent him flying. For a moment, Louise Hill looked for his teeth on the ground. Charles said coldly, ¡°He hasn¡¯t admitted defeat yet. How did I foul?¡± ¡°When Louise Hill seriously injured one of my students in Grinwood, why didn¡¯t anyone call for a foul?¡± After saying that, Charles walked toward Louise Hill. ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Louise Hill got up from the ground, trembling. He lay at Charles¡¯ feet with snot and tears in his eyes and begged for mercy, ¡°Stop! Stop!¡± ¡°Stop fighting?¡± Charles raised his eyebrows and kicked him out. ¡°The last student you injured is still in the hospital!¡± ¡°You little rascal!¡± On the grandstand, a sharp woman¡¯s cry pierced everyone¡¯s eardrums. The head of the Dragon subduing Academy branch was seething with anger. A Black Panther suddenly appeared beside her, and a black impact rushed toward Charles. If the frost Dragon Whelp had not blocked the attack in front of him, he would have been shaken to the point of vomiting blood. ¡°How dare you hurt people with ill intentions in the competition? You¡¯re immoral! I¡¯ll cripple you today!¡± ¡°Charge!¡± The head of the Dragon subduing Academy shouted, and the black leopard rushed toward Charles! ¡°Who would dare!¡± An old and vigorous voice sounded. When the leopard was about to rush in front of Charles, a white light blocked him. The snow-white Rudolph was already standing beside Charles. Under the deer horns, a pair of black eyes calmly looked at the rushing leopard. In the audience, director Richard stood up with a severe expression. He was not angry, but he was imposing. ¡°You don¡¯t have the right to educate my students. You didn¡¯t break the rules at all.¡± ¡°Ha, you¡¯re saying he didn¡¯t foul?¡± The Dean of the Dragon subduing Academy sneered and pointed at Charles, ¡°According to the competition rules, all the newbies participating in the competition must be below two meridians. Based on this kid¡¯s strength, it¡¯s not something anyone below two meridians can possess!¡± With that, she turned her hand and took out a giant black crystal ball from the brocade bag at her waist and questioned sternly. ¡°Director Richard, do you dare to let that kid come up and test his level?¡± ¡°If this kid isn¡¯t a ninth-rank bloodline, cancel his results on the spot and return all the points to Dragon subduing Academy!¡± As soon as he said that, the audience immediately burst into an uproar. The students of Grinwood protested, ¡°The people from the beast Tamer Alliance tested our levels before the match. What right do you have to test our participants¡¯ levels?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t do anything to the crystal ball, right?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t afford to lose. You¡¯ve been questioning us ever since we won. Why didn¡¯t you test the level of your players?¡± On the other hand, the people from Dragon subduing Academy started to be sarcastic. ¡°If you don¡¯t dare to test it, you must have a guilty conscience. Don¡¯t hide it anymore!¡± ¡°I bet this guy isn¡¯t a rank nine one bloodline. He¡¯s a rank two or even rank three bloodline!¡± ¡°Grinwood Academy, you¡¯ve used all your tricks. You¡¯re a disgrace to the beast World!¡± Just as everyone was busy quarreling, a calm and assertive voice interrupted everyone. The one who spoke was Charles. He stood on the fighting ring and said in neither a humble nor arrogant manner, ¡°It can be measured.¡± A smile appeared at the corner of the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean¡¯s mouth. She said in a clear voice, ¡°Alright, then hurry up and come up. If you¡¯re not a rank nine lineage, I¡¯ll cripple you on the spot!¡± However, Charles¡¯s following words stunned her. ¡°But What if I don¡¯t exceed the ninth rank? You, what are you going to do?¡± After two seconds, the Dean of the Dragon subduing Academy said, ¡°Then it¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°Hahaha, Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s branch president, you¡¯re very impressive!¡± Suddenly, a voice came from Grinwood Academy. Hockins slowly stood up from his seat and said with a smile, ¡°What, you don¡¯t have any bargaining chips, and you¡¯re accusing us? Grinwood Academy isn¡¯t your subordinate Academy, so why should we listen to your orders?¡± ¡°You ¡­¡± The Dean of the Dragon subduing Academy branch was at a loss for words. Mr. Hockins continued to press on, saying, ¡°You have slandered my student. You should at least give him some compensation!¡± ¡°I heard that you¡¯ve recently received a high-grade ice Soul Stone. If you lose the bet, why don¡¯t you give it to my student as an apology?¡± ¡°Now, I¡¯d like to ask you, do you dare to test?¡± Chapter 33 - Chapter 31. The Level Test Chapter 33 Chapter 31. The Level Test ¡°You ¡­ Hockins!¡± The head of the Dragon subduing Academy branch was so angry that she was trembling, and the thick foundation on her face was almost shaken off. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I dare? Are we just going to watch you guys cheat?¡± Then, she pointed at Charles and said, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you coming up?¡± Charles didn¡¯t move. He looked at her with a faint smile. ¡°Give the ice Soul Stone to the adjudicator of the Imperial Beast Union first, in case you go back on your word.¡± The Dean of the Dragon subduing Academy looked at Charles in shock. An ordinary student would be scared to speak incoherently when they saw such a scene. Even if they managed to escape, they would lose their mental balance in the following matches. Why was this kid so calm? However, since she had already said this, it was difficult for her to find a reason to refuse. She could only reluctantly take out a dark blue stone from the brocade bag. The surface of the stone was not smooth but a bit rough. Circles of dark blue jade-like strips climbed and spread on the stone¡¯s surface. ¡°Is this the ice Soul Stone?¡± Charles was secretly happy. He had read in the Dragon taming manual that the ice Soul stone was a necessary treasure for the frost Dragon Crystal to upgrade from Level 2 to Level 3. It was a precious one. He had previously been vexed about how to get his hands on such a priceless item. It had to be said that Mr. Hockins was a godly help this time, allowing him to get this stone without any effort. The Dean of the Dragon subduing Academy branch handed the ice Soul Stone to the adjudicator of the beast Alliance, then said to Charles coldly, ¡°If you¡¯re satisfied, then quickly come and test it.¡± With a leap, Charles arrived in front of the adjudicator from the Imperial Beast Alliance. He said to him,¡± ¡°Come on, take out the testing crystal. I¡¯ll test what level I¡¯ve reached.¡± The Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean¡¯s face changed. ¡°Why don¡¯t you use my testing crystal?¡± Charles wasn¡¯t intimidated by her at all. Instead, he stared straight into her eyes and said, ¡°It¡¯s the same, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s naturally the same.¡± A hint of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean. She had already made up her mind. Even if she couldn¡¯t get rid of Charles this time, she had to find an opportunity to eliminate this significant threat and not let him live. President Richard came down from the audience to Charles ¡®side to guard against the Dean of the Dragon Subduing branch playing dirty. The Adjudicator from the Beast Tamer Alliance took out an identical testing crystal and placed it on the table. The head of the Dragon-subduing branch urged, ¡°Brat, quickly test it!¡± Charles ignored her. He picked up the frost Dragon Whelp and placed its claws on the crystal. The crystal immediately emitted a strong vibration, as if it was bearing potent energy and would break at any time. Even the Beast Tamer Alliance judge, who had been expressionless the entire time, was greatly shocked. He said in a trembling voice, ¡°What a powerful force!¡± ¡°Hahaha, brat, you still dare to say you¡¯re of the same bloodline!¡± The head of the Dragon subduing Academy laughed, and then her face became extremely fierce as she said sternly, ¡°Hurry up and die!¡± However, before she could do anything, Director Richard¡¯s familiar was already in front of Charles. ¡°What? Now that your scheme has been exposed, you¡¯re turning against me?¡± The Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s branch president sneered and said, ¡°Old fool, don¡¯t think that you can protect him!¡± The black leopard shot out like lightning, and a sharp claw emitting black gas pressed against Rudolph frost¡¯s horn. The two high-level familiars faced each other, neither of them winning. ¡°That¡¯s enough,¡± The beast Tamer Alliance¡¯s adjudicator suddenly spoke, his voice exuding an imposing aura. ¡°Fighting in front of me violates the Imperial beast Alliance.¡± As soon as he said that, the high and mighty Dean of the Dragon subduing beast college gave in and withdrew his subdued beast in embarrassment. This caused Charles to be stunned. He didn¡¯t seem to know what kind of organization the beast Tamer Alliance was. But now, it seemed that this organization was not simple. At this moment. The crystal ball in front of Charles suddenly stopped vibrating. Then, a circle of white light appeared on the crystal ball. This meant that Charles¡¯s familiar was indeed from the same bloodline. The pupils of the Dragon-subduing beast College¡¯s Dean suddenly contracted, and he said in disbelief, ¡°How ¡­ How is that possible?¡± The audience who saw this scene were shocked to no return! ¡°Heavens, he is of the same bloodline! This kind of power will be so powerful when it grows!¡± ¡°That Louise Hill has the strength of a ninth-rank bloodline, and he is one of the best in the Academy. How could someone of the same rank crush him?¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t even use his bloodline explosion or any skills!¡± ¡°This strength is only second to Louise Brownie¡¯s draconic familiar!¡± When these people saw Charles¡¯s strength, they thought he was a level nine. Amid everyone¡¯s exclamation. Charles turned to the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean, and extended his hand, ¡°Ha, of course, it¡¯s possible.¡± ¡°You can hand over the ice Soul Stone now.¡± ¡°You can take it, but you¡¯d better consider the consequences!¡± The Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean gritted her teeth, her old face red with anger. She wished she could crush Charles into pieces on the spot! This was no longer a hint but an undisguised threat. She had spent more than ten times the original price and all her savings to get this ice Soul Stone in an auction. She had done it to please the Louise family¡¯s leader so she could be promoted. If Charles took her ice Soul stone, it would be equivalent to taking her stairway to Heaven and cutting off her source of income. She swore that as long as Charles dared to take the ice Soul stone, she would do everything she could to kill him! However, Charles didn¡¯t care about her threat. He reached out one hand and picked up the ice Soul Stone. He even weighed it in his hand before putting it into the brocade bag. Seeing this, the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean almost vomited blood in anger. And at this moment. A wave of screams suddenly erupted in the arena! What was going on? Director Richard and the adjudicator of the Imperial beast Union looked down simultaneously. When they saw the display on the testing crystal ball, it was as if they had been struck by lightning. They stood there dumbfounded, unable to say a word. The crystal ball gradually lit up with eight stars. This meant that Charles wasn¡¯t a rank nine. It was a rank eight lineage! ¡°Genius, this is a true genius!¡±. The beast Tamer Alliance¡¯s adjudicator no longer had the demeanor of an elder. He almost shouted out those words. Fortunately, Louise Hill had already passed out. Otherwise, he would have been so jealous that his heart and lungs would stop. Chapter 34 - Chapter 32. Johnnys Defeat Chapter 34 Chapter 32. Johnny¡¯s Defeat This episode quickly passed. Then, the match continued. The next match was the No. 1 contestant from Grinwood Academy against the No. 3 contestant from Dragon Subduing Academy, Ulysses. This was supposed to be a battle of equal strength. However, the result was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. One strike. With just one blow, the number one player from Grinwood Academy was defeated. Ulysses was a man as strong as an iron tower. He had bronze skin and a rough face. His Lion-shaped subdued beast was even more significant, with a green face and fangs. With just a palm wind, the new player King of Grinwood, was utterly defeated, without any power to fight back. Charles watched the attack from the audience. He was sure that Ulysses didn¡¯t use his full power. This person had the strength to challenge the senior students in the second round. After Ulysses¡¯ match, the only winner of the first round was the Dragon taming Academy¡¯s number four. In the first half, he had fought against the number two player from Grinwood Academy. Although he had won, it was a narrow victory, and he didn¡¯t have much energy left. Thus, he chose to withdraw and not continue the challenge. At this point, the top three players in the elite rookie competition had become the top two. One of them was Ulysses, and the other was Charles. Three tentative winners were selected in the senior students¡¯ second round of the elite competition: John, Johnny, and the fatty from Dragon subduing Academy, Louise Genio. ¡°Louise gen bird.¡± Charles touched his chin. It was another member of the Louis family. On the dueling platform, the judge from the beast Tamer Alliance announced loudly,¡± ¡°Now, let¡¯s begin the newcomer challenge!¡± ¡°The new students selected by us will challenge the three tentative winners of the senior students in turn. If they succeed in the challenge, they can replace the other party, become the new tentative winners, and get eight points from the other party!¡± ¡°The first challenger, Ulysses!¡± Ulysses¡¯ muscular figure immediately stepped onto the stage, waving at the Dragon taming Academy¡¯s audience. The Dragon subduing beast College¡¯s spectator stands were immediately filled with voices! ¡°Go, Ulysses!¡± ¡°Get rid of Grinwood¡¯s men!¡± ¡°Snatch their bonus points!¡± The people from Grinwood Academy were not to be outdone. ¡°In your dreams! We old students are at least two levels higher than you!¡± ¡°Defend! Guard the place!¡± ¡°I have the advantage!¡± Charles sat in the audience and stared at the score. Grinwood got 12 points in the first round and 16 points in the second round, so he got 28 points. Dragon subduing Academy had 18 points in the first round and eight points in the second round, so their total score was 26 points, two points lower than Grinwood Academy. If Dragon subduing Academy succeeded in this round, they would take eight points from Grinwood¡¯s Beast Taming Academy. In that case, they would have ten points higher than Grinwood. In the current situation, although his side still had the advantage, the situation was still urgent and would be overturned in an instant. Ulysses raised his hand and pointed at Johnny.¡± ¡°Johnny, come down!¡± Johnny seemed to have expected Ulysses to choose him. He was not surprised. He stood up from the audience and jumped onto the fighting ring. The red fire-lizard on his shoulder spat out a string of sparks. Clang! The bell rang! ¡°Strike first and gain the upper hand!¡± Johnny pointed forward, and the red fire lizard rushed out. Its Scarlet figure was wrapped in dancing sparks and instantly spat out a long flame. The horn of fire blew flames. In the stands, Jon¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Since his last defeat, Johnny had put all his effort into training his familiar with this skill. He had now reached the point of perfection. No matter which direction the enemy was coming from, he would be able to hit them in one hit. Moreover, Johnny had already broken through to the 2nd meridian, 2nd rank, and his strength had significantly increased. That kid with only one bloodline would be unable to dodge this move. ¡°Hahaha, a small trick. Johnny, give up your eight points!¡± Ulysses laughed out loud. The bronze lion beside him pounced forward and slashed out dozens of sharp claws. The claws carried a fierce killing intent, like a gauze woven by flowing light, shrouding the red fire lizard¡¯s flames. As the claws continued to swing, the Golden flowing light filled the fighting ring like a tide. Leo meteor shower! Charles¡¯s eyes narrowed. This bronze lion was a blue mid-tier beast crystal. Pu! Chi! Chi! The endless golden claws shattered the red fire lizard¡¯s tongue of fire. ¡°Kill!¡± Ulysses roared. The bronze lion¡¯s sharp claws cut into the red fire lizard¡¯s armor, leaving a wound so deep that the bone could be seen! There were even a few rays of light that flew towards Johnny! Johnny saw that the situation was terrible and quickly shouted, ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± The fusion was complete just as Johnny was about to be cut open. The claws only left a few scratches on the red fire lizard¡¯s hard armor. Johnny knew his familiar¡¯s endurance was insufficient and needed to end the battle immediately. He took a few steps forward and caught up to Ulysses, punching out with his fist that was covered in flames! ¡°Johnny, victory is decided!¡± Ulysses also activated his bloodline. He was covered in bronze armor with a lion¡¯s roar on it. He looked majestic. He threw out a punch, and it collided with Johnny¡¯s fist. Bang! Bang! After a loud bang, a figure was forced back a dozen steps, blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth. It was Johnny! Ulysses only took a few steps back and panted slightly. He was not seriously injured. ¡°Roar!¡± Johnny suddenly let out a domineering roar that reverberated throughout the fighting ring. Many of the audience members covered their ears in pain. Charles remembered that this was the red-eyed fire baboon¡¯s skill, roar, that he had obtained in the monster forest. It could stun the opponent for a second. On the battlefield, one second could determine life and death. However, when the roar reached Ulysses, it had no effect. ¡°He¡¯s too weak!¡± Ulysses took a step forward and was in front of Johnny in the blink of an eye. He threw another punch. This punch sent John flying more than ten meters. The fusion was canceled. He clutched his chest and knelt on the ground, almost unable to breathe. Ulysses sneered, ¡°Only by fighting head-on and winning can you be considered powerful.¡± ¡°Grinwood¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me the Academy is full of this kind of trash. A person who won by relying on a Body Fusion skill isn¡¯t worthy of being the winner.¡± ¡°I admit defeat!¡± ¡°I admit defeat!¡± ¡°Quickly admit defeat!¡± On the grandstand, the people from the Dragon subduing Academy jeered, their voices mixed with a few sneers. ¡°I told you. They won because of schemes and plots. They didn¡¯t win fair and square at all.¡± ¡°Your strength is not worthy. Go down!¡± When these words reached the ears of the people of Grinwood Academy, everyone clenched their fists in anger. However, there was nothing they could do. The other party¡¯s strength was in front of them, and they could not be shaken. Chapter 35 - Chapter 33. Challenging Ulysses! Chapter 35 Chapter 33. Challenging Ulysses! ¡°Ulysses¡¯ challenge successful!¡± The judge from the Imperial beast Alliance shouted. Immediately after, the number displayed on the scoreboard changed. From twenty-eight points to twenty, and from twenty-six to thirty-four, the Dragon subduing Academy had a total of thirty-four points. All of a sudden, a gap of 14 points was opened! And the Ace duels would only produce one winner, who would receive ten extra points. This meant that if Charles couldn¡¯t win the next round, the match would end early, and there wouldn¡¯t be a turn for the Ace battle. ¡°Let¡¯s proceed to the next newcomer challenge. The Challenger is Harry!¡± The judge from the beast Tamer Alliance shouted. Then, Charles stepped onto the stage. The crowd burst out in screams! As the biggest dark horse in this match, Charles had attracted the entire crowd¡¯s attention. The cheers from the crowd were even louder than Ulysses¡¯. ¡°Go!¡± ¡°Win back the score!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all up to you now!¡± ¡°The strongest newcomer, King!¡± Of course, there were also some unfriendly gazes. The Dean of the Dragon subduing Academy sat in the audience and looked at Charles gloomily. On her right sat a young man in a Hooligan¡¯s outfit. He looked to be in his twenties and had messy hair. He lazily crossed his legs as if he didn¡¯t care about this match. The other students were all sitting upright and still, wearing black school uniforms in an orderly manner. The instructors of Dragon subduing Academy walked around in the crowd, and when they caught people with unclean appearances, they would pick them up and give them a good scolding. And he had casually spread out that loose black robe on the ground and used it as a cushion. Moreover, he had casually sat on it in front of the head of the branch. As for the head of the branch, not only did she not blame him, but in the face of the young man¡¯s question, her old face even showed a fawning expression, and it seemed that she was a little afraid. To the left of the Dean sat a fat man. This man was the one who defeated Scarlet of the Grinwood Academy in the previous match. His name was Louise Genio. The fat man¡¯s Black robe was almost bursting from the fat, but he kept eating snacks. His fat, oily hands stirred a bag of potato chips. The Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean came to the young man¡¯s side and whispered,¡± Mr. Brownie, I have a way to get rid of Harry, but I need your help.¡± ¡°Oh?! The short-haired young man lazily raised his eyes as if he didn¡¯t care about this matter. He said, ¡°What is it?¡± The president of the Dragon subduing Academy branch quickly said respectfully,¡± ¡°Your familiar, the Bluewater Dragon, is a subspecies of the Dragon race. Its bloodline is extremely powerful. If you can lend some of its bloodline power to Louise Genio¡¯s familiar and strengthen it, it will be easy to kill that man ¡­¡± ¡°Hey!¡± Before he could finish his words, the fat man interrupted the branch head¡¯s words and said with contempt,¡± ¡°He¡¯s just a small Dark Horse. I don¡¯t care about him at all. There¡¯s no need to do anything unnecessary.¡± Fatty¡¯s eyes sneakily looked at the lazy young man beside him as he said that. ¡°I only have one purpose for this trip: to succeed in the challenge and win the Ace Championship.¡± ¡°But,¡± the Dean of the Dragon subduing Academy was anxious to put Charles to death, and he hurriedly said,¡± ¡°That guy seriously injured a student of the Louise family. I¡¯m just thinking for you ¡­¡± The lazy young man waved his hand. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if the Louise family has two less useless people. Besides ¡­¡±. As he spoke, the young man glanced at Charles, who was in the fighting ring. ¡°The Louise family won¡¯t care about the hollering of another piece of trash.¡± How hateful ¡­ Seeing that the two of them didn¡¯t care about this matter, the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean couldn¡¯t help but feel anxious. She wanted to get rid of Charles as soon as possible. It would be even more difficult if she waited until the end of the game. However, in front of the two young masters of the Louise family, she didn¡¯t dare to lose her temper. She could only find excuses everywhere. When she saw that the young man didn¡¯t listen to her, she turned her head to the fat man. ¡°Mr. Genniao, this kid will meet you in the fighting ring. Although he¡¯s not as strong as you, it will take effort to get rid of him.¡± I¡¯m afraid this will affect your condition, and you won¡¯t be able to use all your strength to spar with Mr. Brownie.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we strengthen it first? After we kill that boy, the strengthening will be canceled, and you won¡¯t be affected.¡± Fatty was taken aback when he heard that. It seemed to make sense. He and Louise brownie looked at each other and tacitly agreed to the proposal. Louise Brownie casually took out a small red bead from his pocket. The small bead contained the power of the Viper¡¯s bloodline, which came from the first skill of his familiar bloodline divergence. Louise opened her chubby palm and took the bead. She clicked her tongue and put it in her pocket. On the fighting ring. Charles pointed at Ulysses, who had just sat down, and said, ¡°Ulysses, come down.¡± Ulysses did not stand up immediately. Instead, he sneered and said, ¡°Why? are you provoked by my words and want to pay your colleagues?¡± Mad! He was too crazy! The students of the Grinwood Academy gritted their teeth and stared at him. However, Ulysses did have the right to be arrogant. However, Charles wasn¡¯t angered by these words. He just calmly said, ¡°I just want to pick the weakest person to challenge.¡± ¡°You! Hahaha!¡± Ulysses¡¯ face turned red, but he laughed instead of getting angry. He slapped the stands and jumped into the fighting ring. He grinned at Charles and said, ¡°If you want to anger me, congratulations on your success.¡± Clang! The bell rang. ¡°Die!¡± Ulysses made the first move. The bronze lion beside him roared and charged at Charles, its sharp claws slamming down heavily. A light blue figure shot out from his shoulder like lightning on Charles¡¯s side. The frost Dragon Whelp raised its Dragon Claw and clashed with the bronze lion¡¯s sharp claw. BOOM! There was a thunderous sound. The bronze lion took a few steps back and stood still. Three palm marks fell on its bronze head and iron bones. As for the frost Dragon Whelp, it only took half a step back. Its dragon scales glowed, and it was not injured in the slightest. ¡°You¡¯re quite capable, but if that¡¯s all you¡¯re capable of, you¡¯re still far from me!¡± Ulysses raised his eyebrows as if he was surprised. Then, he quickly regained his composure and called out, ¡°It¡¯s over!¡± The bronze lion¡¯s eyes lit up. Then, its claws flickered, waving them so fast that they almost left afterimages. It was the same move, Leo meteor shower! However, this time, the attack seemed even more rapid than it was with Johnny. The countless claws formed a stream of light that almost lit up the entire sky. It was dazzling and eye-catching as it attacked Charles like a storm! Chapter 36 - Chapter 34. Dragon Breath Chapter 36 Chapter 34. Dragon Breath In the audience, John broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the bronze lion¡¯s attack. Earlier, the bronze lion¡¯s attack could break through Johnny¡¯s defense after his bloodline burst. Even if he went up, he would only end up with a severe injury and failure. This time, the bronze lion¡¯s attacks were even fiercer. The consequences would be unimaginable if such dense and fierce claws landed on a familiar! A beast of the first bloodline was able to strike out with such a mighty claw. Even a demonic beast of the second bloodline couldn¡¯t withstand it, let alone demonic beasts of the other bloodlines. On the fighting ring. ¡°This move seems to have some form.¡± Charles looked at the overwhelming claws in front of him, but he didn¡¯t panic. Instead, his eyes lit up as if he had found something interesting in his boredom. Unfortunately, although this move covered a wide area, it was useless against the frost Dragon Whelp. It did not even leave a scratch on the Dragon scales. ¡°This, how is this possible!¡± Ulysses ¡®eyes were wide open as he watched the frost Dragon¡¯s body pass through the barrier. It did not even try to block the attack. It simply charged straight at the bronze lion. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that familiar is a defensive-type familiar?¡± Ulysses thought to himself. His Leo meteor shower had defeated countless experts of the same cultivation realm in the internal competition of the Academy. As long as he used it, he had never failed. Not only that, even many of the senior students of the second branch were defeated by this move. Other than those defensive familiars. These subdued beasts had extremely high defenses, able to withstand powerful attacks, but their attacks were shallow. In the future, they could only be meat shields in the Academy¡¯s teams, never able to occupy a mainstream position among the Beastmasters. He felt that a subdued beast of the same lineage could only block this attack if it focused all its energy on defense. However, he was wrong. The frost Dragon Whelp turned around and swept its thick tail at the bronze lion. The bronze lion¡¯s expression was ferocious. All the muscles on its body bulged, and a pair of Lion claws bigger than the ice Frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s head was placed in front of its chest to block the attack. BOOM! After a loud bang. The colossal bronze lion¡¯s body flew backward and hit the stone pillars around the fighting ring. The blow knocked it out, and it only regained consciousness after more than ten seconds. It barely supported its body and stood up. ¡°High attack and high defense?¡± Ulysses could not believe his eyes. The quality of his beast was A-grade. He had always been the one crushing others. There was such a familiar in the world that could crush him in all aspects of physical fitness! ¡°Could this familiar be a purple beast crystal?¡± ¡°Could it be that it¡¯s a Wyvern like that Louise Brownie¡¯s familiar?¡± Ulysses was shocked by the sudden thought that popped up in his mind. Two Sky Dragons had appeared in an Academy competition. This was a situation that had not happened for more than a decade. But on second thought, how was that possible? It was said that the alternative Dragon, Louise brownie, was specially trained by the Louise family. The materials and rare treasures needed to advance to the second bloodline and fourth rank could buy three or four small Academies like Grinwood Academy. If this kid¡¯s familiar were an alternative Dragon, it would be impossible for it to grow to a lineage level nine in such a small place. ¡°Kid, this move of mine was originally meant to deal with the newcomer King, Rodriefus. However, I¡¯ve made the best use of it on you.¡± Ulysses put his hand into his pocket and took out an ancient bronze Cup. The cup was full of marks of time, as well as many patterns and images of unknown meaning. It was unknown how long it had been there. Ulysses¡¯ lips curled up slightly. It was said that this cup contained an ancient dragon¡¯s breath that could instantly destroy everything. This Dragon Breath¡¯s energy was highly pure. If it came into contact with an ordinary demonic beast, the Dragon¡¯s might would be enough to destroy its divine soul. The familiar in front of him was far superior to his own in strength, speed, and defense. Perhaps he couldn¡¯t do anything to Louise Brownie¡¯s Wyvern, but it was naturally better to have fewer enemies with higher talents than him. ¡°Kid, don¡¯t blame me for being merciless. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too flashy.¡± Ulysses looked at Charles with a cold face and opened the square cup with his right hand. A sharp dragon roar gushed in a split second and charged straight at the frost Dragon Whelp! Ulysses then shouted,¡± ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± His body was instantly covered in heavy bronze armor as he took a few steps forward. If that brat¡¯s subdued beast didn¡¯t die after taking this blow, then he would personally finish it off and send it on its way. The people present did not know what this demonic wind was, but looking at it from afar, they felt it was extremely oppressive. His goal was obvious. He went straight for the frost Dragon Whelp and didn¡¯t encounter anyone else. Otherwise, all the subdued beasts on the field wouldn¡¯t be able to escape their fate. They would either die immediately or be scared to death. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s the shrieking attack of some ferocious beast.¡± Louise Brownie said indifferently. However, he didn¡¯t notice that his beast was watching the Dragon roar from a dark place not far away. Its eyes were filled with deep fear! Although the alternative Dragon and the Dragon were closer to each other than other demonic beasts, there was still an unpleasurable chasm between the two! The chasm of bloodline! The Dragon¡¯s Roar arrived in front of the frost Dragon Whelp. However, the Dragon Whelp did not show the slightest bit of fear. Instead, it glared at the Dragon with its bright eyes. The scales all over its body were emitting a strange light! A clash of Dragons! The Dragon¡¯s Roar condensed into a dark face in the air. It was half a dragon¡¯s head. The frost Dragon Whelp also lowered its head and pressed it against the half-head formed by the Dragon¡¯s Roar. They faced each other head to head and were not at a disadvantage. ¡°Kill!¡± At the same time, Ulysses, wearing his bronze armor, had also arrived in front of the frost Dragon Whelp. His right hand was like a claw, and he used all his strength to grab the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s neck. ¡°Gugu!¡± At the critical moment. The frost Dragon Whelp suddenly let out a long cry! It glanced at Charles, who was not far away. Charles¡¯s pupils shrank when he saw the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s gaze. His eyes were not filled with fear or anger but excitement. He seemed to be saying something! Chapter 37 - Chapter 35. Chance Chapter 37 Chapter 35. Chance After all, Charles had gone through thick and thin with the frost Dragon for some time. Their hearts were connected even if he disagreed with the Dragon. In an instant, he understood the meaning of the frost Dragon Whelp. Absorption! It wanted Charles to help it absorb. The Dragon¡¯s breath contained the pure energy of an ancient true dragon. However, for the current Frost Dragon Whelp, this energy was still too massive and could not be wholly tamed in a short time. ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± Although Charles knew that with his strength, he might be affected and his life might be threatened if he rashly approached the battlefield, he couldn¡¯t let go of this opportunity. With his extraordinary physical fitness, he rushed to the side of the frost Dragon Whelp in an instant. In the grandstand, the spectators of the Grinwood Academy broke out in cold sweat. Harry was shocked. ¡°Heavens, what¡¯s he trying to do? During a battle between subdued beasts, a Beastmaster would only be in danger if he got too close!¡± On the other hand, Hockins frowned and said to President Richard, ¡°Based on the strength shown earlier, the bronze lion should have been defeated long ago. But now, it can put our contestants in a deadlock. I¡¯m afraid that Ulysses must have used some means.¡± President Richard stared at the two people fighting on the stage. He brought his white-haired head close to Rudolph frost¡¯s descendant and listened to it whisper a few words. He sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s indeed a sneaky move. That Blue Bird-shaped familiar is currently fighting against a terrifying force. That force is far beyond Ulysses¡¯ ability.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we stop the competition now?¡± Teacher Hockins slammed the table and stood up. He was about to speak to the adjudicator of the beast Tamer Alliance when a pair of old hands suddenly pressed down his shoulder. ¡°No need.¡± President Richard stroked his beard. The snow-white reindeer beside him had magical light shining on their horns. On the tip of each branch was a tarot card condensed from mana. Director Richard said in a low voice, ¡°I just asked Rudolph frost to perform a divination on our contestant.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not in a desperate situation yet. Furthermore, he¡¯s facing a huge opportunity. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± On the fighting ring. A blue light flashed. Charles was covered in dragon scales and carried hard armor on his back. His armor was carved out of sapphire, and ice and snowflakes fell slowly from it. In the middle of his forehead was a Dragon Horn made of ice, looking very domineering. ¡°Hold on!¡± Charles shouted and went head to head with the true Dragon Qi. The bronze lion¡¯s attacks did not affect Charles, so he didn¡¯t care. Charles could feel that the true Dragon Qi was slowly seeping into his dragon scales. This pure and domineering energy was many times stronger than the blood essence of the demonic beasts. Although the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s strength had increased significantly after its bloodline burst, it still found it difficult to resist the Dragon¡¯s breath. ¡°This is bad. If this continues, my bloodline explosion will only last for a few breaths. When it ends, my body will be unable to withstand this violent energy.¡± Charles was anxious, and his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking of a way to deal with it. Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw that the white ring on his right ring finger was glowing faintly as if it was responding to this energy. ¡°I remember that the white ring¡¯s function is to absorb energy before releasing it. In that case, can this energy be temporarily stored?¡± Charles thought of this and raised his right hand with great difficulty while resisting the Dragon¡¯s breath. He injected a stream of energy into the White ring and muttered the incantation carved on the inside of the ring. After the last word of the magic was spoken, the ring trembled and emitted a dazzling white light! Then, the remaining Dragon Breath power rushed into the ring, and the roars of the ancient wyrms echoed in Charles ¡®ears, making his head numb. After a few breaths. The white ring absorbed the last bit of power from the Dragon¡¯s breath. At the same time, dragon scale-like patterns appeared on the surface of the ring as if they were some magical brand. The bloodline fusion was canceled. Charles put down his arm and panted heavily. Initially, the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s bloodline outburst could only last for eight to nine breaths, nearly twenty seconds. However, he held on for half a minute and was seriously exhausted. On the other side, the frost Dragon Whelp was in high spirits, as if it had been reborn. ¡°Damn it, damn it!¡± Ulysses¡¯s eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness in the fighting ring. He attacked Charles madly and roared! ¡°Who are you? Why can¡¯t even this kill you?¡± Other people might not know the power of this Dragon Breath, but how could he not know? Even a six Meridian expert would die from severe injuries if this Dragon Breath hit him. Why was this person in front of him able to withstand such a terrifying force? ¡°You don¡¯t need to know,¡± Charles said lightly. The next moment, the frost Dragon Whelp appeared in front of Ulysses in a flash. With a flying claw, it smacked Ulysses away. This move was enough to dispel the bronze lion¡¯s fusion. The man and the lion rubbed on the ground for more than ten meters before they stopped. When they looked again, the bronze lion was already broken and unconscious. Ulysses was not any better off. Ulysses was covered in bruises and wounds, and he passed out. Charles felt that the blow was quite heavy. It was usual for Ulysses to lose his memory. This was good too. Charles didn¡¯t want anyone to know that his familiar was a Dragon. ¡°The second round of the challenge, victory to the Grinwood Academy!¡± The judge from the Imperial beast Alliance announced loudly. On the scoreboard, the score of the Grinwood Academy had changed from 20 to 28 points. The Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s score had dropped from thirty-four points to six points. Grinwood Academy was in the lead again. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°He¡¯s too strong!¡± ¡°He¡¯s undeniably the newcomer, King!¡± In the Grinwood Academy audience, the new and old students burst into cheers! While Hockins clapped, he asked Director Richard ¡°The opportunity you mentioned, what do you mean?¡± Director Richard lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a few seconds, which was rare for him. sed ¡°The results of this divination are very mysterious. Even I can only understand a part or two of it. I can¡¯t see everything.¡± ¡°There must be many secrets buried in this child ¡­¡± Dragon subduing Academy, in the audience. Louis Geniao raised his eyebrows. ¡°This kid won. It seems like I have to take action to kill him.¡± The Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean was thrilled and said, ¡°I¡¯m relieved that young master Geniao is willing to help!¡± Chapter 38 - Chapter 36. Declaration of Chapter 38 Chapter 36. Declaration of War Louise Brownie, who had been lazy all this time, was also interested. He smiled and said, ¡°This guy is quite interesting.¡± ¡°I wonder how many rounds he can last against my Dragonkin?¡± The challenge ended. There were three new winners: Louise Genio, John, and Charles, who were disguised as Harry. The third round was the highly anticipated match of the Trump cards. As the name suggested, the Ace competition was a competition where two academies would each send their Ace students to battle. This represented the confrontation between the supreme powers of the two academies. Each Academy only had one ace student, and they would only have one one-on-one battle to determine the final winner. And this winner would add ten points to the Academy. It could be said that victory and defeat would be decided in one round. However, before that, the three victors of the senior students¡¯ attack match had to be selected to challenge the winning ace student, just like in the elite newcomer competition. They could obtain ten points from the winning ace student if they won. However, there was only one spot for this challenger. After announcing the rules, the judge from the beast Tamer Alliance said,¡± ¡°Now, the winners can choose if they want to join the battle for the Ace challenger spot.¡± Just as he finished speaking. Louise Genio jumped into the fighting ring with the second-line rank nine ice field bear following him. Although his body was fat, because he was already at the peak of the second layer of the body refining tier, his fat body seemed to be unusually agile. It could be said that Louis Genio¡¯s physical fitness and the level of his familiar were already at the peak of the Academy¡¯s challenge. Unless he encountered an extremely abnormal opponent, the inter-Academy Challenge competition was his world. After Louise Genio stood on the stage, he didn¡¯t care about the other winners. Instead, he laughed at Louise Brownie in the audience,¡± ¡°Brownie, you¡¯d better be ready. Don¡¯t be out of form when you fight me later.¡± The audience burst into an uproar. Harry crossed his arms and said,¡± ¡°This guy already thinks that he¡¯s the only challenger?¡± As for Dragon subduing Beast College students, those who already knew about Louis Genio¡¯s strength were silent. In the previous battles, Louise Genio was indeed the king, and he was qualified to be the only challenger. In the previous internal matches of the Dragon subduing Beast College, even in the cross-level challenges of the previous batch of senior students, Louise Genio had made it into the top few. He had rarely lost in the battles of the same level. However, he had always been in second place in a competition of the same level. Because he had never been able to defeat Louise Brownie, who was at the same level as him. With his draconic familiar, Louise Brownie could easily defeat all the opponents of the same level in the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s branch when he was only at the fourth rank of the second bloodline. On the other hand, Louise Genio had tried all sorts of ways to win against Louise Brownie. Naturally, he would not let go of this inter-Academy competition. Looking down at John and Charles, Louise Genio said, ¡°This match is between Brownie and me. Please don¡¯t come and be cannon fodder.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re tactful, then take the initiative to withdraw, or I won¡¯t be able to control myself.¡± Johnny gritted his teeth when he heard that. ¡®This root bird is too arrogant! However, he did have the right to be arrogant. Chown knew that he was no match. Even if he went up to the challenge, he would lose miserably. After hesitating on the stage for a long time, he could only squeeze out the words ¡°I quit¡± from between his teeth. After he returned to his seat, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. In this world where strength was the most important, everything was low-grade, and strength was the only capital. In front of the strong, the weak had no dignity at all. On the stage, Charles remained motionless, quietly looking at Genio. Instead of getting angry, Louise laughed and pointed at Charles,¡± ¡°Kid, you don¡¯t think you¡¯re strong just because you killed a few newbies, do you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a rank nine of the two lineages, and you¡¯re only rank eight of the one lineage. The difference in our ranks can¡¯t be made up for!¡± As soon as he said that, the students of Grinwood began to discuss it privately. ¡°These words are unpleasant to hear, but I can¡¯t deny that they¡¯re reasonable.¡± ¡°Although this contestant is fierce, the people who have challenged him so far are all at the same level as him.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already hard for him to beat Ulysses, a rank-9. How can this Louise Genio beat him?¡± ¡°He¡¯s done enough. Why don¡¯t you stop?¡± There were different opinions, but everyone¡¯s main point was the same: they felt that Charles should quit. However ¡­ Charles didn¡¯t react much to Louise¡¯s remarks in the fighting ring. He only asked, ¡°You said that the gap between levels can not be crossed?¡± ¡°It is!¡± Louis Geniao grinned. Charles smiled. ¡°But you lost to Louise Brownie, a rank four second bloodline, and more than once.¡± Si si si! Even the people from the Dragon subduing beast college sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard this. This was crazy! This was simply crazy! Everyone knew that these words were taboo for Louise Genio. It was a bottom line that could not be touched. A senior student in the Academy once used these words to joke with him. As a result, he was seriously injured and was still lying in the hospital. Even Louise Brownie would only talk about it privately and not bring it out in public. How could this person dare to say such a thing on the battle stage of two Academies? Sure enough, Louis Genio was furious. His eyes were bloodshot, and his molars were grinding He grinned at Charles and said, ¡°Alright, alright, alright. There¡¯s a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it. Instead, you want to die Here. I¡¯ll fulfill your wish then.¡± Charles was still smiling. ¡°You can¡¯t even defeat Brownie. How can you help me?¡± Pfft! Harry, who was drinking water, spat it out in the stands! This guy, wasn¡¯t it enough to offend one person? Did he want to offend two people at the same time? Hockins and Director Richard looked at each other and saw the shock in each other¡¯s eyes. ¡°Could it be that this guy¡¯s goal is to win the championship of the Academy¡¯s Ace competition?!¡± ¡°A rank eight one lineage newbie challenging the Ace champion. This is unheard of!¡± For Charles, this was nothing. The Louise family and the Dragon subduing Academy¡¯s Dean would never let him go, so he didn¡¯t need to pretend to be polite. Pa! In the stands of Dragon subduing Academy, Louise Brownie stood and stared at Charles with a pair of mocking eyes. ¡°You are Harry. Very good, I¡¯ll remember you.¡± Chapter 39 - Chapter 37. Breakthrough Chapter 39 Chapter 37. Breakthrough The real Harry¡¯s face had already turned green from fear in the stands. He regretted letting Charles pretend to be him. He made enemies one after another. How could he bear it in the future? However, on the other hand, this might also stimulate Harry¡¯s potential in this crisis, allowing him to reach a position that he could never reach in his previous life. Clang! The bell rang! ¡°Die!¡± Killing intent and intense hatred burst out of Louise¡¯s eyes. He rushed toward Charles. Suddenly, a white light flashed, and screams burst out from the stands! ¡°Bloodline eruption! He managed to achieve a bloodline eruption so quickly!¡± ¡°It seems like Geniao wants him dead this time!¡± Louise Genio roared. His body was covered with long, tough blue-white thick fur. His sharp blue frost claws were embedded in the White fur like crystals, magical and dangerous. ¡°Take my palm!¡± The colossal claw full of frost and icicles suddenly expanded several times. The chill in Louise Genio¡¯s body surged into the sharp claw and concentrated at the tip of the claw. With an unstoppable force, she stabbed Charles! Freezing palm! The pupils of the Dean of the Dragon subduing beast college contracted. Root bird had used this move! Besides Brownie, she had never seen anyone who could block this attack! ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± Charles knew the power of this move, so he also directly activated his bloodline. His body was covered with dragon scales, and he had long horns on his head. He also threw a punch at Brownie! Bang! Bang! A fist and a palm met in the air, erupting with powerful energy. Waves of shock waves shook some of the new students in the stands. After the attack, Geno didn¡¯t move an inch, but Charles¡¯s body swayed, and he took half a step back. ¡°I blocked it!¡± Harry cried out in shock! He had blocked such a powerful attack! This time, not only Harry, but John, Johnny, Hockins, and Director Richard were also there. Everyone¡¯s emotions were ignited in an instant! Although this move disadvantaged Charles, it was only a slight disadvantage. More importantly, he was only at level eight of the one line, with endless potential! ¡°Hiss.¡± Charles¡¯s arm ached. It seemed that the difference between the 10th level and the 10th level was huge. This root bird was not on the same level as the enemies he had encountered. ¡°To be able to block 80% of my power, you have some ability.¡± Louis Geniao sneered, and the killing intent in his eyes burned even more fiercely. ¡®If I don¡¯t kill this kid now, he¡¯ll become a big problem in the future.¡¯ He threw out a punch, and the force was more potent than the palm. Charles rose from the ground and elbowed Louis Genio. BOOM! This time, Louise took a step back, while Charles took seven to eight steps back, gasping for breath. ¡°Oh no, Charles is no match for him. He¡¯ll be defeated in ten moves at most.¡± Harry¡¯s heart clenched. Charles wasn¡¯t panicking at all. He could feel that the wisp of Dragon Breath absorbed by the Dragon scale during the battle was swimming wildly in his body. It was refined by the frost Dragon Whelp and had almost been completely absorbed. And the bottleneck stuck at the peak of rank eight seemed to have loosened. He might as well use this battle to break through to tier 9 in one go! ¡°Brat, the third move will be the day you die!¡± ¡°Go!¡± Louise Geniao shouted, and his white fur stood on end. Extreme cold air gathered in his body, forming a thick layer of Ice Armor. Then, his colossal figure crashed toward Charles like a cannon. The move of the second chakra, Ice Armor impact! ¡°I can¡¯t take it head-on!¡± Charles was shocked. He activated the Dragon Breath in his body and pushed the massive body to the side. Whoosh! The Dragon scales fell apart in front of the ice Phoenix, but with this Dragon Breath, they recovered. As the Dragon¡¯s breath fought against the outside world, it gradually resonated with the body of the frost Dragon Whelp and began to merge. ¡°Tier 9 of the lineage, break!¡± Charles roared. His potential had been stimulated in the battle, and he had attacked countless times. With the energy of this Dragon Breath, BOOM! A burst of light burst out from Charles¡¯s body. The Dean of the Dragon Subduing School screamed, ¡°Young master Geniao, quickly kill him! That brat is leveling up!¡± As for the students of Grinwood Academy, they were already in an uproar! ¡°Hold on, kill the root bird!¡± ¡°Awesome! He broke through at the last minute. What courage!¡± ¡°Too shocking, too shocking. I can¡¯t believe I can witness such a glorious scene with my own eyes!¡± BOOM! There was another loud bang! It was a bird that punched Charles in the face again. But Charles didn¡¯t move. The light dissipated. Charles¡¯s momentum was like a rainbow, and his level had officially risen to level 9. Louise Genio¡¯s eyes were red. ¡°A bloodline of rank nine. So what? He¡¯s still nine ranks lower than me!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll know once we try!¡± Charles threw a punch at Louise Genio! Bang! Bang! The ice Phoenix shattered! Like a kite with a broken string, Louise Genio¡¯s body fell from the sky. This attack stunned everyone on the scene. With one strike, he defeated Louise Genio! Harry, John, and the others rubbed their eyes hard, thinking they had seen wrong. The head of the Dragon subduing Academy branch was so scared that his hands were trembling, and he could not even speak. Next to her, Louise Brownie¡¯s face finally became a little more serious. She looked at Charles with interest and said with a smile,¡± ¡°Not bad. You¡¯re not much weaker than me back then. Even the judge from the beast Tamer Alliance was stunned. After a while, he finally recovered and announced loudly, ¡°The Grinwood Academy wins! The Challenger has been selected!¡± ¡°Strong! He¡¯s too strong!¡± A burst of shrieks erupted from the grandstand of Grinwood Academy! Charles bowed slightly to everyone and followed the staff to the lounge to rest. Although he was now a level nine master, he was still far from enough to deal with Louise Brownie. He had to think of a way to increase his strength again. ¡°Today¡¯s competition has ended. Everyone, go back and rest.¡± The judge from the beast Tamer Alliance said. On the grandstand, the people rose one after another. Director Richard said to teacher Hockins,¡± ¡°Quickly contact the training instructor. I¡¯m going to find that contestant personally.¡± ¡°Our Grinwood beast taming Academy has produced a dragon and phoenix genius!¡± Chapter 40 - Chapter 38. Dragon Milk Chapter 40 Chapter 38. Dragon Milk In the dormitory of the contestants. The fighting stage was built on a mountain, and it was not conducive for the contestants to rest and conserve their energy by running back and forth. Therefore, there was a contestant dormitory built below the fighting stage. ¡°Charles, what are you writing?¡± In a dormitory room, Harry watched Charles writing and drawing on a piece of paper. He couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously. Charles raised his head and revealed a scheming expression. He smiled and said,¡± ¡°I¡¯m guessing that based on our performance today, the Dean will come to the dormitory personally to express his pleasure. So, I wrote down what I needed in advance.¡± ¡°In case the Dean asks for something, we miss something.¡± Harry was speechless. Harry leaned over and saw that the page was filled with a list of rare treasures, many of which were extremely expensive. It seemed that the director was going to bleed a lot tonight. After Charles finished writing, he rechecked it to ensure he didn¡¯t miss anything before putting it on the small table. (Ding! (Warm reminder: host has not completed today¡¯s self-disciplined mission!) When he heard the system¡¯s sudden voice in his mind, Charles suddenly realized that he had been self-disciplined for nine days. After finishing today¡¯s task, he could unlock the next item in the system store. He quickly asked in his mind, ¡°System, what is my mission today?¡± [Ding! (today¡¯s self-disciplined tasks: 1.1000 weighted handstand push-ups!] 2. Run 500 laps around the arena! [ 3. Challenge opponents of a higher level with your familiar and win ten times (5/10 completed today)!) Charles looked at the system panel and nodded slightly. Today¡¯s task didn¡¯t seem that difficult, especially since he was already at the peak of the second layer of the body refining tier. Although this bit of exercise was very tiring, it wasn¡¯t at the level of risking his life like before. After a simple warm-up, Charles began to do push-ups. The push-ups this time required him to do handstands and carry weights. It could be said that the difficulty had increased by a large margin. Charles didn¡¯t have any heavy objects with him, so he let the young Frost Dragon hang on his leg. He had to admit that this guy was heavier than he had thought. ¡°Charles, what are you doing?¡± as Harry was shocked when he saw Charles¡¯ difficult move. Charles did push-ups and said to him, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m just doing some exercise to train my body.¡± ¡°Is this how you work out?¡± he asked. Harry couldn¡¯t believe it. He couldn¡¯t make any of these problematic moves. It seemed that Charles was strong for a reason. Soon, under Harry¡¯s shocked gaze, Charles did a thousand push-ups before he stopped. He didn¡¯t even have time to wipe his sweat. He packed his things and planned to take the frost Dragon Whelp for a run. Harry was left in the dormitory, doubting his life. A thousand push-ups, and you call that exercise? For ordinary people, this was equivalent to risking their lives! Charles ran round and round around the arena. Although he was fast, the number of rounds he ran was too many. Gradually, he ran from the setting sun to the evening Star. ¡°Huhu, it¡¯s four hundred and twenty-five laps. It¡¯s going to be five hundred laps soon!¡± Charles wiped the sweat from his forehead and calculated in his mind. This sport was still okay, but there were five more cross-level challenges. How were they going to fight? As he ran, Charles thought, ¡°Speaking of which, Harry¡¯s level seems higher than mine. Why don¡¯t I bring him here to fight later?¡± Suddenly, Charles¡¯s eyes became alert. He felt that there seemed to be many pairs of eyes peeking at him in the arena at night. ¡°Come out, don¡¯t waste your energy.¡± Charles said lightly. Before he finished speaking, several figures darted out of the darkness and surrounded Charles in a tight circle. ¡°Are you from the Dragon subduing Academy or the Louise family? What can I do for you?¡± Charles glanced around and said coldly. ¡°Ah, kid, I thought I had to sneak into the dormitory, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be so easy.¡± The leader of the Men in Black sneered. The five familiars instantly attacked Charles and the frost Dragon Whelp. Charles scanned the area and used his analytical eyes to grasp the other party¡¯s background quickly. Of the five familiars, three were green, and two were blue. Moreover, each was no lower than a third meridian, with the highest level being a third meridian, tier five! Jade gauze dress! Charles injected energy into the Jade stone on his chest. In an instant, a faint white light enveloped his body. He wasn¡¯t a fool. He had already anticipated that someone would come to seek revenge, so when he came out for a run, he brought those two spiritual weapons with him. The Man in Black laughed, ¡°Kid, you can¡¯t be thinking that you¡¯re still on the stage. Let me teach you what a real battle is.¡± Four of the five familiars targeted the frost Dragon Whelp, while one changed its route midway and went for Charles. It was the weakest first-tier three bloodline familiar, obviously thinking Charles was easier to deal with. However, they were wrong on this point. The rat-shaped subdued beast¡¯s front teeth struck Charles, but it was blocked by the Jade silk garment and didn¡¯t cause any damage. Instead, Charles flipped his right hand, and a white ring was pointed at the rat. BOOM! This time, the white ring did not store ordinary energy but a dragon¡¯s breath. Therefore, the power was extreme. With a shock wave, the rat was thrown into the brick ground and fell into a coma. Immediately after, Charles struck out a few more times, slowing down the frost Dragon Whelp¡¯s attacks on the subdued beasts. ¡°Not good. This brat has a spirit weapon. Quickly attack!¡± Seeing that the situation was not good, the five rushed out again. The lowest among them was at the third layer of the body refining tier, which could be said to be a level above Charles. Charles¡¯s group of five held all kinds of weapons and attacked Charles. For a moment, Charles was overwhelmed. Although the Jade silk robe he was wearing helped him block all the attacks he missed, the white light of the Jade silk robe dimmed a little and was about to extinguish. ¡°Let¡¯s start with the weakest one!¡± Charles¡¯s eyes turned cold. He sneaked out a hand and hit one of the black-robed men. The man screamed and fell back. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. At this time, Charles inadvertently saw that the third mission had added two more points to the system¡¯s mission interface, making it 7/10. In other words, outside the arena, the rat and the man Charles had killed were one. In an instant, Charles decided to take a gamble. ¡°Bloodline explosion!¡± Charles suddenly activated his bloodline power. Seeing this, the others quickly activated the contract and wanted to activate their bloodline power. However, before they could complete it, Charles killed two more people. Immediately after, Charles rushed to the other side and took care of The Beastmaster and the two dazed subdued beasts. Very quickly, he gathered all the missions. [Ding! (Congratulations, you have completed the self-discipline card-printing process. You are rewarded with 200 self-discipline points!) [New product has been unlocked!] Charles quickly opened the system¡¯s store interface with his consciousness and saw that the items had been unlocked under the evolution stone. This product was called (Dragon milk).
