Chapter 36 - Invitation

Ye Xuan asked hesitantly, "Very far away? Miss Lin, where are you taking me?"

"You'll know tomorrow." Lin Shiru smiled, not answering his question.

Ye Xuan felt helpless.

He didn't expect Lin Shiru to have such a weird kink.

This feeling of not being able to find out anything, even though he was very curious, made him feel awful.

After Lin Shiru left him hanging, she continued to point out his future path in cultivation.

And at the same time, she briefed him about the various Beast Taming talents that Beast Tamers could possibly awaken each time they leveled up.

There were all kinds of strange Beast Taming Talents.

There were those that were similar to Yang Yiming's "Size Manipulation" and "Heart of Fury."

There was also the "Wings of Divinity," which would allow all of the Beast Tamer's beasts to grow a pair of Wings of the Wind.

In addition, it was said that some genius Beast Tamers awakened strange talents like "Bodhi Enlightenment."

Such a talent allowed beasts to hastily develop their abilities.

Even after all their skills had capped out in terms of level, there was a chance to upgrade them even further, thus making the beast even more powerful.

After hearing Lin Shiru's remarks, Ye Xuan became more and more excited about leveling up to the Dark Iron Level.

Screech!

At that moment, Lin Shiru stopped the car and, turning her head towards Ye Xuan, said, "Alright, we've arrived at your place. You can get going now."

Ye Xuan was startled. It wasn't until now that he realized that they had arrived at his house.

Along the way there, Lin Shiru had literally opened up a new world for him, and he'd almost forgotten that time existed.

"See you tomorrow, Miss Lin."

At that moment, Lil Wan suddenly popped out of Ye Xuan's pocket and, looking in the direction in which Lin Shiru had left, pouted and said, "Miss Lin is so gorgeous."

Ye Xuan nodded. He felt the same. "Yeah, not only is she pretty, but she also has a good temperament. She's also very gentle when she speaks."

Hmph (・｀ヘ´・;)ゞ

...

"You've only just come home, and you're going to leave again tomorrow?"

Because Ye Xuan had called his parents beforehand, Su Yunmeng already had a good meal waiting for him at home.

While they all ate dinner together, Su Yunmeng and Ye Guotao were both startled to hear Ye Xuan say that he was going to have another training session somewhere else tomorrow, and that he didn't know when he would return.

"Yup." Ye Xuan nodded, and then interrupted the conversation with a smirk. "Dad, Mom, now that I've become a Beast Tamer, and what's more, Jiangzhou University's specially enrolled student, I'll probably have to go out very often in the future.

"If you two are too bored without me here, just go ahead and make another child."

"Tsk! Cut the crap!" Su Yunmeng glared at him.

However, Ye Guotao's eyes were glittering, as if he were thinking about something.

In fact, both he and Su Yunmeng weren't that old.

Neither of them was even forty yet.

So having another child wasn't completely out of the question.

As for Ye Xuan, because he was all grown up, he wasn't much fun to play with anymore—unlike when he was a child.

"Ring ring…"

All of a sudden, just as Ye Xuan picked up a piece of braised pork and tossed it into his mouth...

Unexpectedly, there was the sound of the doorbell ringing.

"I'll go get the door." Ye Xuan swallowed the piece of braised pork and stood up.

"Yang Yiming?"

Ye Xuan opened the door and curiously looked at Yang Yiming, who was standing at his doorstep.

He didn't expect the visitor to be this legendary figure from the Beast Taming Class.

Seeing Ye Xuan, Yang Yiming smiled gently and said, "Are you eating? Sorry for disturbing you."

"It's alright. Come on in," Ye Xuan said to Yang Yiming invitingly.

He was very curious about this person who could be considered a legend in not only the Beast Taming Class, but even Yunhai City.

Of course, he was even more curious about why Yang Yiming was visiting him.

After all, he hadn't spoken to Yang Yiming since he'd joined the Beast Taming Class.

Yang Yiming shook his head and said, "It's alright, I won't be staying for too long."

Ye Xuan's curiosity intensified when he heard this.

Seeing the expression on Ye Xuan's face, Yang Yiming went straight to the point. "Actually, I came over here on behalf of Zhongzhou University to invite you to join their school."

"Join Zhongzhou University?" Ye Xuan's mouth dropped wide open in surprise.

But shortly afterward, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, you should already know that I've joined Jiangzhou University. I've already signed a contract with them."

"A contract is nothing. As long as you're willing, Zhongzhou University can easily get you out of it. And Zhongzhou University can provide you with the same benefits as Jiangzhou University, if not better.

Yang Yiming continued in a confident tone, "Besides, with your talents, only by joining a prestigious university like Zhongzhou University can you fully develop your talents."

Ye Xuan shook his head once again. "Thank you for your kind invitation. It's just that I've already made my decision."

To him, the benefits Jiangzhou University was providing him with were sufficient enough.

Besides, he wasn't the kind of person that would break a contract.

Since the moment he signed his name on the contract, he'd considered himself a member of Jiangzhou University.

When Yang Yiming heard Ye Xuan's response, he suddenly smiled and said, "As expected of you. Actually, when I saw you for the first time, I got the impression that you aren't the kind of guy that can be easily persuaded. I already told them about that when I was mentioning your talents.

"Unfortunately, the person in charge of Zhongzhou University's admissions office is a good friend of my father's. He asked me to give it a go, so I had no choice but to come."

"Haha." Ye Xuan giggled almost immediately at Yang Yiming's honest confession.

"However."

But at that moment, Yang Yiming abruptly changed his tone and said, "Don't be fooled by what I said.

"To be honest with you, Yunhai City is too small a place. It isn't too much of an exaggeration to say that the Warriors and Beast Tamers over here are seeing the sky from the bottom of a well.

"Zhongzhou University is the gathering place for all the geniuses in our country. Only when you enroll at Zhongzhou and compete with geniuses from all over will you know how big this world actually is.

"Besides, in such an atmosphere, the progress you'll make will be beyond imagination."

Ye Xuan knitted his eyebrows.

But immediately after, he once again shook his head.

What Yang Yiming said wasn't wrong.

However, he was in possession of the Beast Editor and a Mythic-Level Beast Taming Aptitude. As long as he had sufficient resources, he was confident that he could surpass everyone else in a short time.

Thus, it wouldn't make a difference what university he attended.

"Looks like I still can't convince you."

Seeing Ye Xuan shake his head yet again, Yang Yiming smiled bitterly and said, "Since that's the case, I wish you success in your future at Jiangzhou University.

"Another thing. I wonder if you know that in around twenty days or so, our class and Yunzhong City's Beast Taming Class will be holding a friendly contest with each other.

"I hope that you can become a Dark Iron Warrior by then and get yourself another powerful beast. If not, when I leave, I'm afraid our class will get creamed."

"Friendly contest? And you'll be leaving?"

Ye Xuan was startled.

"Yeah, I'll be leaving. Tomorrow, in fact."

Yang Yiming nodded and said unreservedly, "I'm originally from Zhongzhou, after all. The only reason why I stayed in Yun City for the past two years was because of an inherited secret realm hidden in Yun City.

"Now that I've completely obtained the inheritance of that secret realm, it's time for me to return to Zhongzhou."
