Beast Tamer Level: Low-level Beast Tamer Apprentice

Tamed Beast: None (Can tame a maximum of two apprentice-level beasts)]

As Ye Xuan focused on the strange panel in his mind, the panel transmitted a message to him.

"This is my Attribute Panel?"

"And… Mythic-level Beast Taming Aptitude? And a Beast Editor?"

After looking over his attributes, Ye Xuan was slightly startled.

Then, he grew a little doubtful.

For 18 years, he hadn't awakened the ability to tame beasts, which had made him feel somewhat dejected.

But what was going on now?

He had not only awakened the ability to tame beasts, but he had even awakened a Mystic-level Beast Tamer ability?

However...

What surprised Ye Xuan the most was another message that the panel sent him.

That strange panel was the manifestation of the Beast Editor.

According to the information sent to him by the Beast Editor just now, as long as he had enough materials, he could edit his beasts and upgrade them to at least Mythic level.

Ye Xuan had no idea about what rank Mythic level was.

As far as he knew, on the Cerulean Planet, in terms of level, Beast Tamers and beasts were only divided into Dark Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Challenger.

As for what ranks were beyond those, he had absolutely no clue.

"Beast Tamer!"

Ye Xuan took a deep breath.

Then, a smile appeared on his face...

Revealing his lifted spirits.

"I can already form a contract with two beasts right now?"

Ye Xuan had an idea.

He once again funneled his consciousness to another message on the attribute panel.

In this world, there was one Beast Tamer per almost 100 Warriors.

But most Beast Tamers could only form a contract with one beast during the Apprentice stage.

"Two beasts… is this one of the advantages of having a Mythic-level Beast Taming aptitude?"

Ye Xuan's eyes were glistening.

Naturally, as a Beast Tamer, the more beasts he contracted, the stronger he would become.

As he was thinking all this over, Ye Xuan raised his head and said to a middle-aged man beside him, "Sir, I would like to take the day off."

The middle-aged man's name was Guo Ruo.

He was Ye Xuan's teacher.

He was the one who had brought Ye Xuan out of the square along with Chai Chang and another teacher.

"Alright." Guo Ruo nodded and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. After all, you're already a Top-level Warrior Apprentice."

"There's still two months until the College Entrance Examination. It isn't impossible for you to break into the Dark Iron rank and get admitted to a good university by then."

"Yeah, I know."

Ye Xuan nodded.

Then, he turned his head to look at Chai Chang and said, "You… geez."

Ye Xuan had just withdrawn from Wanshan University's assessment.

As a result, Chai Chang withdrew from the assessment along with him.

"I guess the school's afraid that we'll cheat by taking temporary mental enhancement pills, so they didn't say anything before the assessment. They didn't even tell us what was going on."

Chai Chang scratched his head and said, "I thought Wanshan University's main campus would be recruiting first. Turns out it's their branch campus."

"Since it is their branch campus, it doesn't matter whether I attend the assessment or not."

"You know me. I can definitely break into the Dark Iron rank before the College Entrance Examination. By then, it won't make a difference if I attend Wanshan University's branch campus or some other university."

"Mm, I guess so."

Ye Xuan nodded his head, not saying anything else.

He just kept this incident in his mind.

...

On the way home, Lil Wan jumped out of Ye Xuan's pocket and asked, "Ye Xuan, are you really okay?"

She felt that Ye Xuan had been acting a little strange ever since he'd fainted at school.

"Of course."

Ye Xuan placed Xiao Wan in his palm and said with a smile, "And not only am I fine, but this time, I even got extremely lucky and awakened the ability to tame beasts."

"The ability to tame beasts?" Lin Wan opened her mouth in surprise.

"Yeah." Ye Xuan nodded, "Let me tell you, the ability I've awakened is extremely powerful. I can form a contract with two beasts right now.

"After I sign a contract with you, you'll be able to fight with me in the future. Are you happy about that?"

"Me?" Lil Wan was startled and then became silent.

After some time, she said, "I can't. We elves are all one-star grade. There's no way for us to evolve in our entire lifetime. If I become your partner, I'll drag you down."

All beasts were classified into grades.

From low to high, the grades were one-star, two-stars, three-stars, four-stars, and five-stars.

It was nearly impossible for one-star beasts to evolve.

Only two-star beasts and above could advance to a higher grade.

Holding his head high, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Relax. The role of Beast Tamers is to help beasts evolve and turn the impossible into the possible.

"Besides, some Beast Tamers have all kinds of special talents that can assist beasts in raising their star rating. Coincidently, I am that kind of genius."

"But that doesn't…"

Lil Wan wanted to say something else.

But Ye Xuan extended his other hand and gagged Lil Wan's mouth with his index finger.

"Listen to me! My first beast can only be you!"

"Why did you cover my mouth? Fine, I get it (∩ᄑ_ᄑ)⊃━☆"

Lin Wan turned her head away.

...

When Ye Xuan returned home, neither his father, Ye Guotao, nor his mother, Su Yunmeng, were at home.

He put Lil Wan on the table and, after waiting for a moment in silence, asked, "Lil Wan, are you ready?"

"Um hum." Lil Wan tugged at the hem of her clothes and said, "Then I'm gonna start now."

Ye Xuan said something, then focused his mind and plunged his consciousness into his Spirit Ocean.

In it, he found two particles, which were emitting bright golden light like stars.

These two golden particles were called the Seed of Beasts.

At the same time, these particles also served as proof that a Beast Tamer had awakened the ability to tame beasts.

However, most average Beast Tamers who had just awakened their talent only had one Seed of Beasts in their Spirit Ocean.

Having one Seed of Beasts meant that a Beast Tamer could form a contract with one Spirit Beast.

After Ye Xuan communicated with one of the two Seed of Beasts with his consciousness, a peculiar feeling immediately rose in his heart.

In the next moment, he controlled this Seed of Beasts, flew out of his Spirit Ocean, and flew towards Lil Wan.

Pssiuu!

A ray of light flashed through the void.

Lil Wan, who was standing in front of Ye Xuan, felt a cold gust. Then, she noticed that a foreign object had entered her body.

It felt as if the object wanted to seize control of her mind.

But she didn't resist.

Instead, she immediately let go of her mind.

In the next moment, she felt that she had established a strange, mysterious connection with Ye Xuan.

"Is it done?" Lil Wan opened her eyes and looked at Ye Xuan expectantly.

"Yeah, it's done!"

Ye Xuan forcefully nodded his head.

At the same time, a new message appeared on the attribute panel in his mind.
