Chapter 55 Opponent?
A thunderclap suddenly rose from the ground...
The moment the man finished speaking, the middle-aged man's mind went blank. Tiannan Beast Taming University, Beast Tamer Association, Selected Students?
The moment those words were uttered, the dozen or so burly men were stunned. If it was just a beast tamer from Tiannan University, then who wasn't a beast tamer? There were plenty of beast tamers from Tiannan University in their line of work; it wasn't anything special.
But if it's someone from the Beast Tamer Association, that's a different story. And if it's a 'selected student,' then it's even more damn different.
The middle-aged man felt dizzy and disoriented. How did he end up as a "selection student"?
At this moment, Wen Tao, who was on the other end of the video call, immediately spoke up: "Brother Yi, where are you guys? Should I notify the president and the others to have someone from the association come over?"
Although Lin Yi didn't turn on speakerphone, as a beast tamer, his physique and other aspects were improved by the feedback from his beast pets, so the dozen or so strong men could hear him very clearly.
Before Lin Yi could speak, the middle-aged man immediately shouted, "No need, no need. Why bother the Beast Tamer Association with such a small matter? There's no need for that, classmate."
Fifteen minutes later.
Tiannan Beast Taming University, Wen Tao's living room.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Tao roughly understood what had happened on Lin Yi's side. Not only him, but Wen Yan and Wen's mother also had a general idea.
Holding her rice bowl, Wen's mother instinctively asked, "Xiao Tao, who is it?"
Wentao: "One of my classmates, Lin Yi, is one of the 'selected students' this time. Dad should know about him."
As a combat-oriented instructor, Wen Yan had naturally seen the results of the special training, and he was also a member of the Beast Tamer Association, though not in the same branch as his son.
This wouldn't have been a big deal, but Wen's mother suddenly remembered something she shouldn't have thought of at this time, and immediately blurted out, "Lin Yi? Isn't he your rival in love? Why are you calling him Brother Yi?"
Wen Tao froze, the chopsticks he was about to eat coming to his lips. He looked up with a mournful expression and said, "Mom, who told you he was my rival in love? We're really good friends, and we're even in the same Beast Tamer Association."
Mom, even if you know, you don't have to tell me. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?
Wen's mother realized she had let something slip and immediately smiled apologetically, "Good buddy, good buddy."
Seeing that his mother was no longer bringing it up, Wentao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really knew how to rub salt in the wound. Hadn't he suffered enough during this time?
However, just as Wen Tao buried his head in his food, Wen Yan's voice rang out.
"This child is worth getting to know better."
It was obvious that these words were meant for Wen Tao. The latter did not speak, but fell into deep thought. The family of three had seen everything just now and could guess what the situation was like over there.
He is courageous, resourceful, and thoughtful. Most importantly, he is loyal and righteous, a quality that Wenfu greatly appreciates, being a fellow man.
"I'm full, I'm going back to my room now."
Wentao put down his chopsticks and turned to go back to his room.
After watching her son close the bedroom door, Wen's mother turned to Wen Yan and asked, "Lin Yi, is this child very outstanding? Even more outstanding than our son?"
"Tenth in the grade, your son eleventh," Wen's father said calmly.
Mother: "Tenth in the grade? That's the kid who surged up from the plant-based department?"
Although Wen's mother didn't pay much attention to these things, her colleagues had been talking about it recently, so she had some recollection of it.
Thinking to herself, Wen's mother looked at Wen Yan, pondered for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "What do you think of this beast tamer named Lin Yi?"
Wen Yan put down his chopsticks and thought for a moment: "It's very unscientific, yet it also seems very scientific."
After all, he is engaged in cross-species research. You can say he's unscientific, but he uses science. You can say he's scientific, but he's not quite scientific either.
Wen's mother was stunned upon hearing this. In other words, her son's marriage might be on the rocks.
inside the room.
Wen Tao thought about Wen Yan's words and sent a message to Lin Yi.
[Yi-ge, are you alright?]
……
In Baishi District... At this moment, Lin Yi and Lao Bai were pushing that broken bicycle, slowly walking back to Tiannan Beast Taming University.
The matter was resolved satisfactorily. Between slapping him back a few times and privately contacting him for compensation, Lao Bai chose the latter. The other party not only returned his 310,000 yuan and Lin Yi's 300,000 yuan, but also compensated him for the medical expenses of the slaps.
One slap costs 100,000, five slaps cost 500,000. Old Bai was overjoyed. 500,000! He had never seen so much money in his life.
"Can't you be a little more dignified?" Lin Yi looked at Lao Bai's beaming face and laughed in exasperation.
Upon hearing this, Old Bai suppressed his emotions slightly and asked seriously, "By the way, how did you end up here?"
"I had some free time today, so I came to see you." Lin Yi said, then looked at Lao Bai: "Why didn't you tell me about this beforehand?"
"You're different now. You're the top student in your department, a hot commodity in the eyes of your professors, and a 'selected student' for the Beast Tamer Association..." Old Bai didn't finish his sentence before immediately changing the subject, "Besides, I'm too ashamed to come looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi patted Lao Bai on the shoulder and strode forward: "I'm not only number one in the grade, I have another identity."
Old Bai asked in confusion, "What?"
Lin Yi: "Your godfather."
Upon hearing this, Lao Bai paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly, his throat even becoming slightly choked with emotion.
He had considered contacting Lin Yi, but he was afraid that Lin Yi no longer recognized him as his brother. Especially after hearing the news about Lin Yi's recent increasingly impressive feats, Lao Bai was genuinely happy for him, but also thought a lot about human nature. So even though he was desperate, he didn't bring it up.
But at that moment, all the grudges vanished, and Old Bai immediately shouted, "Godfather!"
The two laughed as they headed towards Tiannan Beast Taming University.
"Quit that job, it won't earn you much money. Come help me. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I'm planning to open a shop in Tiannan City that specializes in selling and revising skills education papers. How about you be the shop manager?"
"Damn, I knew it! You're the one behind that forum too. No wonder the 'Grass Sword Technique' on the forum looked so similar to the first half you gave me."
"The second half doesn't look like it?"
"The second half costs money."
"Will you help me or not? Help me open up the market in Tiannan City, and I'll give you a base salary of three thousand and a 10% commission."
"Is this all a brother is worth?"
"10% is not bad. Selling one unit is equivalent to working here for a month, and selling ten units is equivalent to working here for a year."
When will the store open?
"I don't know yet."
"Have you chosen a store location yet?"
"no."
"..."
……
When the two returned to Tiannan Beast Taming University, it was already evening. Lin Yi accompanied Lao Bai to have another meal at the No. 1 canteen. They had two big meals in one day, and both were paid for by others. They were very delicious.
As for opening a shop, Lin Yi had actually thought about it. After all, only targeting Tiannan Beast Taming University would be too slow to make money. In the future, Mushroom Boy would be a money-making machine, and there was also that proud [Chaos Green Lotus], so he had to plan ahead.
Fortunately, with this signature skill, even if Lin Yi reaches the first-level beast tamer level, he doesn't need to take the mushroom cubs out to earn money, and he has more time to train and nurture them.
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye, and several major events have occurred during these days.
The first thing Liu Bochuan did was announce the establishment of the Spirit Plant Combat Department and publish the list of participants, which caused a huge stir in the department. The Spirit Plant Beast Tamers saw a glimmer of hope once again.
Secondly, news of the city-wide training program spread far and wide, and more and more beast tamers signed up to participate.
The third thing is that the Chaos Green Lotus has evolved to the third-tier, second-level form and has become even more arrogant.
Fourthly, with the mushrooms running out of ingredients, Lin Yi went to [Tiannan Minggui] again and bought more than 30 million worth of goods. The saleswoman was promoted and went to the second floor to serve Lin Yi, promising to notify him immediately if any ingredients with the element of thunder appeared in the store.
The fifth thing is that Old Li is here again, on his way...
Located in the mountains behind Tiannan Beast Taming University.
A giant avian-type war beast descended from the sky, and a strong wind swept through the forest. Lin Yi was so strong that he could hardly open his eyes. When the three-legged Nether Roc landed in the nearby mountains, Lin Yi realized that not only Li Zhenbei had come, but also two young men and women he had never seen before. They were probably senior students from the Beast Tamer Association.
"Lin Yi".
Li Zhenbei leaped off his war beast, summoned it back to his beast-taming space, and looked at the boy from afar, his face immediately lighting up with joy.
"President." Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated by the sight; Old Li was being a bit too enthusiastic.
The two senior students kept looking at the junior student. They had heard of him before but never met him. Now that they saw him, he was indeed too handsome.
Li Zhenbei's purpose in coming this time was to deliver the [Transcendent Chaos Fruit] of the [Chaotic Green Lotus] to Lin Yi, as well as some extraordinary evolution ingredients of the lightning element.
"President, this is too much of an expense."
Lin Yi smiled sincerely.
"It won't cost us anything; the association's money is better spent than wasted."
Li Zhenbei handed the resources he brought to Lin Yi and introduced the two people beside him: "By the way, these two are your seniors, Leng Le and Li Qingyi."
Lin Yi greeted the two, but judging from the senior named Leng Le's expression, he didn't seem very happy. Li Zhenbei's next words made Lin Yi understand instantly.
"From now on, Senior Leng Le will accompany you for a period of time. He will guide you with some combat experience and insights," Li Zhenbei said. "Of course, that's not important. What's important is that you can be opponents for combat training."
Lin Yi was somewhat surprised to hear this. How come the Beast Tamer Association offers this service?
Of course not. Leng Le is not actually a member of the association, but a prospective member. The Beast Tamer Association does not only recruit the most outstanding people, after all, there are not many outstanding people.
Aside from 'selected students' like Lin Yi, each branch also recruits a large number of beast tamers with varying potential every year. These association members have different strengths, some strong and some weak, to deal with interventions at different stages. Of course, there are requirements for joining the association; not just anyone can get in, otherwise there would be no such thing as a prospective member.
"Hello, we'll probably have to see each other more often in the future." Although Leng Le was in low spirits, she didn't show it because Li Zhenbei was there.
Actually, Ah Le was reluctant to take on this task. As a level 10 beast tamer, he was somewhat unbalanced to be a sparring partner for a level 8 beast tamer, even though the level 8 beast tamer was a "selection student" but only a selection student of the spirit plant system.
Leng Le didn't think he could gain any combat experience from fighting against a plant-type beast tamer, especially one who was two levels lower than him. It was a complete waste of time. He wouldn't have come if the guild leader hadn't given him enough.
Li Zhenbei, however, did not pay attention to these things. Once the "selected students" were in the hands of the branch presidents, their training was the hard target and also the topic of conversation among the branch presidents. If anyone in the Beast Tamer Association most wanted Lin Yi to become stronger quickly, it would undoubtedly be Li Zhenbei.
For the selected trainees, the association president is essentially a mentor, or even more so, because no one wants their trainees to grow rapidly more than him. After all, this is not only an honor but also linked to bonuses…
Thinking this to himself, Li Zhenbei said calmly, "Leng Le is a level ten beast tamer. She should be more than capable of sparring and training with you. You two should grow together and communicate more in the future."
These words made Leng Le feel even more desolate. Grow together? Exchange ideas? I'm level 10, and he's only level 8. Guild leader, listen to what you're saying.
If Li Zhenbei were to say he would replace Leng Le now, Leng Le would be completely energized and revived.
Lin Yi felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this, unsure whether he should say something. In the end, he called Li Zhenbei aside and whispered something to him.
But the next moment.
"What? First tier?"
Li Zhenbei was shocked and exclaimed, "You mean, you've already reached the first-tier Beast Tamer level?"
How is that possible? He was only an eighth-level beast tamer when the special training ended.
Li Zhenbei's exclamation was undisguised, and Leng Le and Li Qingyi both looked up in surprise at the sound, stunned.
next second.
Li Zhenbei belatedly realized, "You kid, this is really unscientific. So, it seems that Leng Le is not suitable. There's no point in him fighting you."
In the woods.
Leng Le: ? ? ?
