Beast Tamer: Carrying a small world of the end times with you

“This is the Imperial Academy, the highest institution of learning in Yan, and also the last line of defense for Yan.”

An impassioned voice came from atop the Myriad Transformation Demon. Professor Zheng pointed to the mountain range before them, which resembled a giant dragon coiled upon the earth, and said.

“This entire mountain range is the perimeter of the Imperial Academy. Within, we keep various remnant species that once competed with humans for living space. Some have been domesticated into pet beasts, while others have not and exist only as gene banks. The Academy’s research institute regularly extracts genes from these species to mix and attempt to create even stronger pet beasts.”

Professor Zheng made no attempt to conceal their actions. In his view, defeating enemies and then keeping them captive was perfectly normal.

The loser should be trampled by the victor.

“Once you arrive here, you must pass through this gate. If you enter the mountain range without passing through, you will be considered an intruder and attacked.”

As he spoke, Professor Zheng steered the Myriad Transformation Demon downwards. Amidst the endless mountain range, a gate frame filled with a sense of technology stood out conspicuously.

Coincidentally, Qian Er had seen this gate before. When researchers at the Pengcheng Research Institute were testing data on his Abomination Giant, the first step was to have him and the Abomination Giant pass through that light gate.

Although Fei Yi and that researcher hadn't told him the purpose of that light gate, their attitude toward him had noticeably improved after he passed through it.

That should be a tool used to test identity.

This one in front of him should be the same, but its size was many times larger than the previous one.

“This gate is called the Soul Detection Device. It detects whether the physical body and soul match, and it also has the ability to test identity.”

With that, Professor Zheng led Qian Er into the gate.

The moment the two entered the gate, the light of the gate turned green, and then a gentle female voice echoed from within.

“Welcome Professor Zheng and student Qian Er back to the school. If you have any requests, please don’t hesitate to ask Xiaoyue.”

“This is the pet beast of the Academy’s first dean, the quasi-divine Boundless Light Tree of the Mechanical and Superpower systems, a peak True King pet beast, and one of the strongest known pet beasts of mankind. Its main body is rooted in the dimensional rift. The one who just spoke was its avatar will. You can call it Xiaoyue. After you complete the enrollment procedures later, you can get a student card made from its fallen leaves. You can use the student card to summon Xiaoyue’s split consciousness and inquire about anything within the Academy.”

Professor Zheng explained to Qian Er with a smile.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to register now.”

Having arrived at the destination, Professor Zheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but he wasn't completely at ease. He planned to take Qian Er to record his information, so that Qian Er could truly be considered a student of the Academy. At that point, even if others came looking for trouble, he wouldn't be afraid.

“Okay, thank you, teacher.”

Qian Er's words made Professor Zheng extremely happy.

After passing the Soul Detection Device, Professor Zheng once again controlled the Wind Riding Griffin, a transformation of the Myriad Transformation Demon, and flew towards the depths of the mountain range.

Flying over layers of mountains, a city located among the mountains, filled with technological colors, suddenly appeared in front of Qian Er.

This is the Imperial Academy, one of the true foundations of Yan.

Qian Er muttered in his heart.

The next moment, the Wind Riding Griffin swooped down and landed at the entrance of the Academy.

“The gate outside is the first test, the Boundless Light Tree scan after entering is the second test, and this is the third test. Only by passing all three tests can you truly prove that you have no problems, and only then can you truly enter the interior of the Academy.”

Professor Zheng explained as he once again led Qian Er through a gate that wasn't much different from the one outside. Unlike before, this gate tested the body.

Because it was vacation time, there weren't many people in the entire academy, making it seem particularly deserted. However, because Qian Er's matter was urgent, Professor Zheng had already notified the people at the academy before returning, so everything Qian Er needed to do was being taken care of.

“This is the Admissions Office, just get acquainted. There will be fewer opportunities to come here in the future.”

Professor Zheng said, pointing to an office with a sign that read 'Admissions Office' as he led Qian Er into a teaching building.

“Hey, Old Zheng, what you’re saying is heartless. What do you mean there will be fewer opportunities to come here? I think this child Qian Er is pleasing to the eye, can't he come over and chat with me sometimes?”

As soon as Professor Zheng finished speaking, the door of the Admissions Office was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman who looked about thirty or forty years old, but with a beautiful face, walked out from inside and glared at him fiercely.

Through the name tag hanging on her chest, Qian Er knew that this woman was called Xu Yunzhe.

Afterward, the middle-aged woman looked at Qian Er with a smile.

“Child, this is your student card, be careful not to lose it. It's quite troublesome to reissue if you lose it.”

Nodding, he said: “Okay, thank you, Teacher Xu.”

The words 'Teacher Xu' filled Xu Yunzhe's face with smiles. In the past two days, all of Qian Er's information from childhood to adulthood had been compiled and appeared on the desks of countless people, including Xu Yunzhe.

After learning about Qian Er's past, she immediately wanted to befriend Qian Er, after all, Qian Er didn't seem like a madman who would take revenge on society.

As for wiping out the entire Chen family, wasn't that because the Chen family provoked him first?

After Qian Er demonstrated his strength, countless people took the initiative to come and argue on his behalf.

“Have you chosen your advisor?”

Pulling Qian Er into the office, Xu Yunzhe poured him a cup of tea, ignored Professor Zheng who was sitting there looking at her eagerly, and asked Qian Er with a kind smile.

“I've already chosen, it's me, he called me Teacher Zheng himself!”

Hearing this, before Qian Er could speak, Professor Zheng jumped out first and glared at Xu Yunzhe.

“Heh, choose you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself, are you worthy?”

The door of the Admissions Office was directly pushed open, and an old man with a tall stature, Qian Er estimated to be more than two meters tall, but with a withered face and a few strands of hair on his head like dry weeds, swaggered in.

“This is Professor Shi Zhong of the Skeleton System, a quasi-King-level pet beast master, whose trump card is a Frost Bone Dragon that has just evolved.”

Xu Yunzhe seemed not surprised at all, pulled Qian Er aside, and explained to him in a low voice.

Among all the quasi-divine beasts, the growth cycle of the Frost Bone Dragon is also one of the longest, until the peak of the quasi-King level, which is level 60, before it can evolve into the final stage of the Frost Bone Dragon.

“Old Ghost Shi, I think you want to die! Just because you have a quasi-divine beast that has reached its final evolution, does that mean you're so arrogant that you don't know your own name?!”

Professor Zheng blushed for the first time in front of Qian Er, wishing he could go up and start a real fistfight with Shi Zhong.

But what no one noticed was that the computer keyboard on the side suddenly moved on its own, and slowly wrote a name in the advisor's position in Qian Er's file.
