On the 15th December, Year 36 of the New Age, 3 PM

Dijiang-hao arrived at Jingzhou and flew into the Xinjing Citys military airport.

Huang Juyun, having received information of their return, was personally waiting outside the airport. His face was filled with excitement, his joy apparent in his eyes. He looked like a child about to receive an amazing toy, whose excitement couldnt be contained.

Of course, an epic-quality beast card actually wouldnt excite Huang Juyun much. The key thing was that this epic-quality beast card was going to be given to him by his prospective son-in-law. The meaning behind it was completely different!

In fact, after learning of the Metal Tyrants strength through a call earlier, it was impossible to say that Huang Juyun wasnt moved at all. After all, the Metal Tyrant was very powerful even among epic-quality exotic beasts, according to what Zhang Che had said. It was much stronger than ordinary epic-quality beasts.

The Metal Tyrants control over metals was especially noteworthy. Although it wasnt very useful when fighting other exotic beasts, its effects were too terrifying when fighting another country.

In this day and age, which city wasnt covered in steel everywhere? Once the Metal Tyrant stepped into a modernized city, it could simply bring it to ruin!

No matter how firm a building was, when the metal components inside were drawn away by the Metal Tyrant, the only possible ending was its collapse; just imagine that! As a high-ranking officer of the military, naturally Huang Juyun viewed the Metal Tyrants abilities with great importance.

Aside from his excitement, Huang Juyun actually felt a little fear inside. He had also learned that there was a terrifying divine-quality exotic beast in the depths of Mt Fallen Star. If Zhang Che and the others had been slightly slow in their reactions, theyd be in very poor shape even if they escaped from Mt Fallen Star in the end, perhaps there might even have been casualties among them

It looked like they needed to be more thorough in their scouting inside the beast worlds. This time, they were lucky and avoided the crisis. If their luck was a tiny bit worse, and that divine-quality exotic beast who was sleeping for whatever reason woke up just a little earlier, not only would they not have been able to kill the epic-quality Metal Tyrant, they would have been instantly killed by the divine-quality exotic beast!

As countless thoughts went through his mind, Dijiang-hao quickly appeared in their vision. It descended from the sky, and landed smoothly on the tarmac at Xinjing Citys military airport.

Uncle Huang, Im blessed to have completed my mission safely! Zhang Che smiled faintly at Huang Juyun when he walked out of the aircraft cabin.

Zhao Wu and the others stood at attention excitedly and saluted, yelling, Commander, we have successfully completed our mission. Requesting permission to return to our unit!

Huang Juyun nodded to Zhang Che in acknowledgement, then saluted Zhao Wus group as well and replied, Youve worked hard. Go back first. Ill give you three days off.

Thank you, Commander! Zhao Wu and the others saluted again, then left the airport. They had been transferred to Xinjing City military division as well, and acted as personal guards for Huang Juyun, keeping him safe.

Of course, it was only a formality. From today on, with a powerful epic-quality subdued beast, Huang Juyun had officially become an expert among high-tier beastmasters. Naturally he didnt need others to protect him.

Also, he didnt normally enter the battlefield personally, and wouldnt come into any danger. His guards would be able to settle any troubles for him.

Xiaoche, its really been hard on you guys this time. Luckily that divine-quality exotic beast didnt wake up sooner, or the results would have been unpredictable.

After Zhao Wus group left, Huang Juyun went up and patted Zhang Ches shoulder heavily, his face filled with gratitude, together with a hint of lingering fear.

If something untoward had really happened to Zhang Che on this trip, Huang Juyun didnt dare imagine how he was going to face his precious daughter in the future.

Zhang Che smiled casually, saying, Its fine, Uncle Huang. Even if that divine-quality exotic beast woke up sooner, at the most wed just give up on that epic-quality exotic beast and run immediately.

That was the truth. That divine-quality exotic beasts mobility was obviously under some kind of restriction. As long as Zhang Che noticed it early enough, running away was no problem.

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Che took out a card radiating rainbow light from his spatial storage and presented it to Huang Juyun with both hands.

Take a look, Uncle Huang. See if this beast card satisfies you.

Alright, Ill trigger it right here, then! Huang Juyun immediately activated the Metal Tyrant beast card excitedly, branding his spiritual imprint on the card in his spiritual sea. With a thought, a rainbow light shot out from his brow to an empty space at the side.

The light faded, and a huge, savage steel monster appeared before their eyes. Although the Metal Tyrant was not quite twenty meters tall, and was a far cry from the massive divine-quality exotic beast, it still gave them enormous pressure just standing in front of them, especially with the Metal Tyrants metallic gleam. Its appearance was extremely eye-catching. It truly left an unforgettable impression on others.

Since it didnt receive any orders, naturally the Metal Tyrant only stood there in silence. Huang Juyun looked up and down at it. After hearing Zhang Che explaining the subdued beasts attributes, he could no longer keep his mouth closed.

-Strong! Its powerful beyond imagination!-, was the only thought left in Huang Juyuns heart after learning the Metal Tyrants attributes.

It was no exaggeration to say that if there wasnt an epic-quality beast with innate fire attacks among his enemies, Huang Juyun could totally fight one-on-two with the Metal Tyrant, perhaps even one-on-three!

After all, the Metal Tyrants Metal Storm was too powerful. Epic-quality exotic beasts whose forte wasnt defense would be severely wounded, if not dead, if they didnt dodge in time, and would completely lose their ability to fight.

Of course, in terms of weaknesses, the Metal Tyrant had a very glaring one as well. Not only could it not fly like other epic-quality exotic beasts, its speed was rather slow as well. Its mobility was just too poor. Even so, that didnt affect its strength!

After the Metal Tyrant appeared in the airport, every soldier who saw this subdued beast stood on the spot in shock, then cheered out one after another.

When their commander had such a powerful subdued beast, as subordinates, the soldiers naturally shared his pride. The different military divisions made comparisons with one another. They not only compared the fighting strength of their soldiers, but the strength of their commanders too, intentionally or not.

Since Huang Juyun had taken position as commander, he hadnt been able to control the military division completely due to his own strength. More or less, everyone felt some rejection toward a Lieutenant General who didnt have an epic-quality subdued beast. But now, not only did Huang Juyun have an epic-quality subdued beast, the Metal Tyrant was obviously an incredibly powerful beast at a glance, wiping away the last bit of ill-feeling in the soldiers.

Xinjing Citys military division completely accepted Huang Juyun as their commander from this moment on.

In the afternoon, Huang Juyun took advantage of this and held a large banquet, to both celebrate Zhang Ches success and to subdue the officers in the local military.

Before the banquet started, Huang Juyun summoned out the Metal Tyrant once more to let the various officers see it. When they finally saw the powerful subdued beast they had been hearing stories about all this while, they were naturally shocked.

It was from that moment on that Huang Juyun finally took complete control of Xinjing Citys military forces. This was extremely helpful to his work down the line.

Zhang Che only rested for a night in Xinjing City, making his way back to Bei Du the next morning. He wasnt in such a hurry originally, but the night before, while he and Huang Tielan were having a long conversation on the phone, she had told him her school was going to organize a trip to the beast world for the freshmen, wanting to train them and let them understand the dangers of the beast worlds, hoping to inspire them to work even harder in their future studies.

Originally, the school had contacted Huang Tielan and said that she could skip out on the trip if she didnt want to go. After all, she was already an intermediate beast card cultivator. She could be considered a genius among geniuses. They were hoping she would become an advanced beast card cultivator over the next few years.

Naturally the school couldnt treat such a genius like a normal student. Making an exception for her was no big deal. However, Huang Tielan didnt like that, and was worried that she might be outcast by her peers in the future.

Huang Tielan didnt want to see that happen. Moreover, she had been stuck at Tier Three beastmaster for quite a long time now, and she wanted to go to the beast world to hunt some exotic beasts, striving to take a step further in her path as a beastmaster.

There were more and more crises in this world. Miss Tienan wanted to have the strength to protect herself as well. That way, she would be able to be of help to Zhang Che in the future. Otherwise, she would be a burden if she needed Zhang Che to take care of her whenever there was any danger.

Furthermore, Miss Tienan wouldnt be making any huge improvements in her beast card cultivation temporarily. She didnt have to keep studying and researching so rigorously like she had in the past. It would do her good to relax a little once in a while.

Most importantly, Huang Tielan felt like she had the potential to become a powerful fighter in her blood. Why not grow as a beastmaster at the same time? She had reason to believe that she could become the best beast card cultivator in history, as well as a powerful high-tier beastmaster.

Zhang Che was naturally very supportive of this. The situation in the world was tense right now. No one knew when would the demonic army strike again, and the fifth beast swarm would arrive in three years time. Heavens knew how big of a crisis would envelop humanity at that time!

Of course itd be for the best if Huang Tielan could grow stronger while it was still safe. Zhang Che was very confident that with his help, Miss Tienan could definitely become a high-tier beastmaster within a short period of time.

Also, after Huang Tielan became a high-tier beastmaster, there was no need to worry about her subdued beasts, either. Zhang Che would go hunt as many epic-quality exotic beasts in the beast worlds for her as she wanted as her subdued beasts.

Given Zhang Ches strength right now, he totally had this capability!

The trip to the beast world organized by Bei Du University was set on the eighteenth. If Zhang Che made his way back today, he could learn about the beast world they were going into before then, as well as spend some quality time with Huang Tielan.

From the eighteenth onwards, he might have to spend a long time in the beast world again
