    “He awakened his Beast Taming aptitude?”


    An Zhenghao’s eyes suddenly widened when he heard what Chai Chang said from his spot at the back of the ss.


    He was already a Dark Iron Warrior.


    However, a Dark Iron Warrior couldn’tpete with a Beast Tamer, even if the Beast Tamer had terrible qualifications.


    Unless he was a Warrior with abilities that were out of this world.


    Otherwise, in this world, Beast Tamers, even though they were just a tiny group of people, upied the highest status.


    Warriors with an extremely high aptitude were much rarer than Beast Tamers.


    In the entire Country of Xia, let alone in Yunhai City, only a few were born each year.


    After Ye Xuan was done packing his school bag, he said to Chai Chang, “I’m going to the Beast Taming ss. You should go back when school ends. I don’t know when I’ll return.”


    As for the others, he only said goodbye to a few people he knew well. As for An Zhenghao and those he didn’t really know, he didn’t say anything to them.


    “Alright.” Chai Chang nodded.


    As he watched Ye Xuan turn around and leave the ss, he felt happy for his friend. He had now embarked on another path of cultivation.


    But at the same time, he also felt lonely, because he was afraid he might not be able to fight alongside Ye Xuan anymore.


    Only a few Warriors could everpare to Beast Tamers.


    “Sir.” A few minutester, Ye Xuan arrived at the office of his ss teacher, Guo Ruo.


    “Ye Xuan, you’re here.” Seeing Ye Xuan, Guo Ruo immediately stood up.


    He’d received a call from Nong Lejia yesterday and learned about how Ye Xuan had awakened his Beast Taming aptitude and had already be a Beast Tamer.


    This made him very happy.


    Almost any teacher would love to see their students be sessful.


    There were very few exceptions to this.


    Looking at Ye Xuan, Guo Ruo said emotionally, “I didn’t expect you to awaken your Beast Taming aptitude right when you’re about to turn 18. However, regardless of what level your Beast Taming aptitude is at, your future achievements are no longer something that I can predict.”


    At this moment, he was still oblivious as to how powerful Ye Xuan’s Beast Taming aptitude was.


    He also didn’t know that Ye Xuan was about to get recruited by Jiangzhou University to train at their Beast Taming Academy.


    ...


    The Beast Taming ss in Yunhai City wasn’t located in either of the three senior high schools.


    On the contrary, it was in a vacant lot close to the suburbs.


    Several buildings have been built in this open space over the past few years. At present, more than 80 students from the Beast Taming ss would attend ss in these buildings every day.


    Therefore, it could be said that the Beast Taming ss was a tiny school.


    In private, many even called this ce Yunhai City Beast Taming Highschool.


    Ye Xuan’s ssroom teacher, Guo Huo, drove him to the ss. After about six to seven minutes, they arrived.


    “Ye Xuan, over here.” As soon as the two arrived, the bald-headed Nong Lejia, who was standing at the gate, extended his hand and greeted Ye Xuan.


    When Guo Ruo, who was by Ye Xuan’s side, saw Nong Lejia’s enthusiasm for Ye Xuan, he was surprised. “Ye Xuan, do you know him already?”


    “Yeah,” Ye Xuan said, not hiding anything from Guo Ruo. “If nothing goes wrong, I might be Jiangzhou University’s specially enrolled student.”


    Jiangzhou University’s specially enrolled student?


    “Have you gotten your aptitude appraised yet?” Guo Ruo looked at Ye Xuan in amazement.


    Ye Xuan nodded. “Yeah. He was the one who tested me yesterday.”


    “Not bad. He’s able to enter Jiangzhou University. Not bad at all,” Guo Ruo muttered to himself when he heard Ye Xuan’s response.


    He felt that in every profession, the new generation would inevitably be worthier than the former.


    Ye Xuan could be a specially enrolled student at Jianghzou University. It was already certain that he didn’t know what Ye Xuan’s future would hold.


    In the distance, seeing Ye Xuan’s arrival, Nong Lejia immediately walked over.


    “Thank you, Mr. Guo. I’ll take Ye Xuan in.”


    “Alright. I’ll leave this student of mine to you from now on,” Guo Ruo said to Nong Lejia.


    Then, he exchanged a few words with Ye Xuan before driving away.


    After Guo Ruo left, Nong Lejia noticed that Ye Xuan was looking inside the Beast Taming ssroom. “Stop looking,” he said to him. “Let’s go. I’m taking you to meet our school’s teacher.” Nong Lejia smiled and led Ye Xuan into the ssroom.


    “Your school’s teacher? Is Jiangzhou University’s tutor here already?”


    Ye Xuan was startled.


    “Yep.” Nong Lejia nodded. “They value you a lot, just so you know.”


    There was a hint of anticipation in Ye Xuan’s eyes when he heard this.


    He walked with Nong Lejia into the ssroom.


    Because there wasn’t a ss going on at this moment in time, the ssroom was empty.


    There was only the asional low, guttural roaring of unknown beastsing from inside a few of the buildings.


    Ye Xuan was very curious about this ce.


    Even though this world was the world of Beast Tamers, due to the scarcity of Beast Tamers, he had only met a few of them since he was a child.


    His only encounter with a Beast Tamer was with his cousin Ye Han and his two beasts a year ago.


    Before and after that, he had never had close contact with any other Beast Tamers.


    He had no clue about what the beasts of other Beast Tamers looked like.


    Thud thud.


    Not long after, Nong Lejia led Ye Xuan to an office.


    He gently knocked on the door.


    A soft voice sounded from inside the office: “Come in.”


    Creak!


    Nong Lejia opened the door and led Ye Xuan into the office.


    When he stepped inside, Ye Xuan swept his eyes over the room and realized that the only person in the office was a woman about 30 years of age sitting on a sofa.


    This woman had long hair and was wearing standard professional attire: high heels, a white blouse, a ck skirt, and stockings. She had a nice appearance and a kind smile, which made her seem friendly.


    As soon as she saw Ye Xuan, she stood up from her seat and said, “You must be Ye Xuan. I’m Lin Shiru, a tutor in Jiangzhou University’s admissions office. I am in charge of all things concerning your admission to our school.”


    “Nice to meet you, Miss Lin,” Ye Xuan hurriedly greeted her.


    “No need for the courtesy. Take a seat.” Lin Shiru was very confident. After she signaled Ye Xuan to sit down, she went straight to the point and handed a contract over to him. “Mr. Ye Xuan, you can first take a look at this contract.


    “This is a preliminary contract our school drafted after learning about your situation. We’re open to further discussion if you aren’t satisfied with it.”


    “Alright.” Ye Xuan didn’t say much.


    He immediately took the contract and started reading it.


    The contract was very simple. It didn’t have much on it. It mostly listed the various benefits that Jiangzhou University would provide him after he enrolled.


    While Ye Xuan read over the contract, Lin Shiru said in an unhurried manner, “I think I should still give you a rough introduction. Among the benefits you can get after you join our school, the most important item is the five-fold reward.


    “In our country, no school will ever raise wastrels and good-for-nothings. This is also true for Jiangzhou University.


    “Therefore, every year, all our students at Jiangzhou University will be assigned many tasks that are in line with their capabilities.


    “The students gain Merit Points forpleting these tasks. Merit Points are the only currency in Jiangzhou University. With Merit Points, you’ll be able to purchase many cultivation resources.


    “And as you, Ye Xuan, can already tame two beasts at the Apprentice Level, you’ll most likely have more beasts in the future. And with more beasts, you’ll naturally need more resources.


    “Hence, after discussion, our school decided that if you join our school, you will be granted five times the Merit Points upon thepletion of any task.


    “As for the other items, such as arranging the best tutor for you and assisting you in obtaining the beast that suits you best, those are treatments that other geniuses also get to enjoy.


    “Finally, the remaining items, such as moving your household to Jiangzhou City, arranging amodation for you and your family, helping your parents find suitable jobs, and so on, are all trivialities.


    “Of course, as you’re currently still weak in strength, we have another benefit we can offer you. And that is, during the early stages of your training here, we can provide you with all the resources you need to get your Ancient Wood Elf to Dark Iron Level.


    “After your elf is at the Dark Iron Level, our academy can also provide you with resources that can assist her in evolving into a Divine Wood Elf.”


    Ye Xuan read the contract while listening to Lin Shiru.


    When she finished speaking, he was also done reading the contract.


    He had to admit that the benefits Jiangzhou University was offering him were very generous.


    Especially the five-fold Merit Point reward. If any of the other students found out about that, many of them would probably be jealous, or even hate him for it.


    Of course, it was also specified in the contract that after he joined Jiangzhou University, he had to:


    Cooperate with them in doing some publicity.


    Strive to improve his strength under the guidance of his tutors during the next few years.


    And prepare himself for the Hundred Academy League a few yearster.


    “The Hundred Academy League, huh?”


    Ye Xuan’s heart was mildly fluttering.


    He knew that Jiangzhou University, which had once ranked in the top ten among the many universities across the Country of Xia, couldn’t reconcile itself to its current decline and wanted to rise up the ranks again.


    However, this was a great thing!


    If Jiangzhou University wanted to make aeback, they would definitely wager more on him.


    As for Ye Xuan, he was also confident that their gamble would pay off!


    “I’m signing this contract!”


    Ye Xuan didn’t ask for more.


    It was enough for him.
