Forest Guardian: I Really Don’t Want to Be a Beast Tamer

The battle ended, and Chen Yuan strode away, only to see Yuan Xiong hurrying after him.

A hint of obvious frustration remained on that rough, large face, along with intense curiosity: "I want to ask you a question."

"Please ask," Chen Yuan turned around.

"Why don't you use telepathy to command?" Yuan Xiong asked the question that had been on his mind since the beginning of the battle, "Are you undergoing some kind of special training?"

The opponent was strong, so it was obviously impossible that he didn't know the real purpose of telepathy.

But since he made this choice, he must have some unknown secret.

Could it really be special training to improve the tacit understanding with his pet beast?

Chen Yuan didn't hide anything, gently tapping the little head of the Twin Flower Concubine, and explained with a smile: "The reason is very simple, because I haven't contracted with this little guy yet."

"Ah?"

Yuan Xiong first exclaimed in astonishment, and then froze in place like a log.

What does that mean?

He was defeated by a pet beast that hadn't been contracted?

No, it wasn't just defeating him, but also teasing him with utter frustration.

It hasn't been contracted, but its strength is so strong, and its skill proficiency is extremely high, how was it nurtured?

For a time, all kinds of doubts surfaced in his mind, Yuan Xiong still wanted to ask, but he saw Chen Yuan had already walked away.

"Consultant Chen!"

Lin Hongwei and Gong Jia waved enthusiastically at Chen Yuan and hurried to meet him.

"It's you two?"

Chen Yuan recognized this unlucky couple of Beast Tamers.

Lin Hongwei tightly grasped Chen Yuan's hands, his tone eager: "Consultant Chen, I watched the entire battle, it was so wonderful, your Twin Flower Concubine is too powerful."

"You specially trained its poison-type skills, right?"

"Only you can nurture such a powerful pet beast."

Chen Yuan smiled wryly: "It has nothing to do with me, it's all its own hard work."

Lin Hongwei knew very well that this was Consultant Chen's modest remark. The more powerful the person, the more gentle and humble they were.

If pet beasts could become so powerful just by working hard, then what did they, the Beast Tamers, need to do?

"Cough cough." Gong Jia coughed lightly.

Lin Hongwei suddenly woke up and quickly pulled Chen Yuan into the private room: "Consultant Chen, come in and talk."

The three of them sat down, and Cola obediently lay beside Chen Yuan's legs.

"Consultant Chen, what brings you to Fengcheng this time?" Lin Hongwei asked Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan stroked the dog's head: "To get it a driver's license, and to pick up two friends by the way."

Yunhua Beast Taming Academy gathers the youngest and most talented Beast Tamers in the entire Qin Province. Even as a half-baked Beast Tamer, Chen Yuan felt a strong interest.

Having made up his mind, the three of them finished lunch and took a taxi to the academy.

Yunhua Beast Taming Academy is located in the suburbs of Fengcheng, covering a large area.

As soon as they got out of the car, they could see a very grand gate, with two tall stone pillars standing on the left and right, with intricate patterns carved on them that Chen Yuan couldn't understand, seemingly like the outlines of some pet beasts.

Under the guidance of the two, Chen Yuan registered at the security room and successfully entered this Beast Taming Academy that countless Qin Province Beast Tamers yearned for.

In this new era, the sooner one steps onto the forefront of the era's tide, the easier it is to seize the full dividends of the era.

For these first-term students, after graduating smoothly after a period of study, they can enter various units and departments according to their grades and intentions, and obtain middle-level and above positions.

If their grades are excellent, they will even be snatched up by various departments.

These students have a bright future, and they will inevitably become the backbone of the future.

Although the later students can have a longer and more complete learning career, the benefits and treatment they enjoy will gradually decrease.

Yunhua Beast Taming Academy has a very different internal environment from ordinary universities. There are not many teaching buildings inside, but instead, it is shaded by trees and has beautiful scenery, like a large park hidden in the deep mountains.

There are very few students coming and going, making the surroundings extremely empty, with only the crisp chirping of birds breaking the silence.

"There are too few first-term students. Although a new batch has been recruited through various channels during this period, it is still far behind ordinary universities."

"We either have classes in the teaching building, or in the battle arena, or we are out experiencing things, and rarely stroll around the campus."

"Everyone is working hard," Chen Yuan said with emotion.

Lin Hongwei sighed: "There are too many geniuses, if you don't work hard, you will fall behind."

The three continued to move forward, and the noise gradually entered their ears. Rows of open-air battle arenas suddenly appeared on both sides of the green road, and many students were fighting each other.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up - he saw several pet beasts that he had never encountered before.

The Beast Taming Academy is indeed a good place, there are surprises as soon as you enter.

Noticing Chen Yuan's gaze, Lin Hongwei thought to himself that every powerful Beast Tamer is indeed a battle maniac, Consultant Chen is like this, and Zhuang Jianbai is also like this.

"Let's go take a look," Lin Hongwei took the initiative to say, "We usually fight here."

"There is also an indoor battle hall not far away, where competitions and academy rankings are held."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and slowly approached these battle arenas.

As usual, he pretended to be a passerby who came to watch the battle, and then inadvertently saw the pet beast next to him, and praised it one after another:

"Wow, your pet beast is so handsome, can I touch it?"

"What a cute pet beast! Can I touch it?"

"Consultant Chen genuinely likes every pet beast." Seeing the bright smile on Chen Yuan's face when he touched each pet beast, Gong Jia said with a smile.

"Yes." Lin Hongwei nodded heavily, and sincerely sighed, "Perhaps only such a person can become a powerful Beast Tamer."

"We have to learn from Consultant Chen."

Suddenly, Lin Hongwei's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a long, strip-shaped pet beast on a certain student: "Consultant Chen, there is a very rare Thundercloud Snake here."

Chen Yuan subconsciously glanced over, met the purple eyes of the Thundercloud Snake, his expression froze, and he stiffly moved his gaze away.

"Consultant Chen, don't you like it?" Lin Hongwei asked in confusion.

Chen Yuan answered irrelevantly: "Let's go."

"Oh, oh, oh." Although Lin Hongwei didn't know why, he still led Chen Yuan to continue visiting the campus.

The indoor battle hall is a huge oval building, which looks simple and atmospheric.

"I remember there is a competition today, but unfortunately we don't have enough authority, so we can't take you in, Consultant Chen." Lin Hongwei sighed helplessly.

"It's okay, it's fine to just take a look outside." Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

"That's right." Lin Hongwei suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, "Next week, students from the Donghuang Beast Taming Academy will come to conduct academic exchanges, which will be held here. I'll ask Lao Zhuang to get a ticket at that time."

"Academic exchange?" Chen Yuan was stunned.

"I heard that a group of students from the main campus will come to Qin Province to participate in activities. After the leaders heard about this, they suggested holding an academic exchange. There will definitely be pet beast battles at that time."

Speaking of this, a complex emotion appeared on Lin Hongwei's face: "I wonder how big the difference is between us and the students from the main campus?"

"It will definitely be big." He added, "I guess only Lao Zhuang and a few other top students can compete."

The fame of the main campus students resounds throughout the north and south of the Yangtze River. The most powerful teaching staff, the greatest support, and the most outstanding students make them very different from the students of other academies.

The students of the main campus are uniformly Beast Tamers who successfully awakened for the first time, while the Yunhua Beast Taming Academy lowers the standard to within three times.

The first time and the third time, it seems not much, but in fact there is a clear difference.

In the eyes of ordinary Beast Tamers, these students are already the pride of heaven.

But in their opinion, there is a world of difference between themselves and the students of the main campus, and the gap is so large that it is despairing.

But there are always exceptions.

Such as Zhuang Jianbai.

However, the academic exchange meeting a week later will reveal the true extent of the gap between the two sides.

After all, some students don't believe in this, and they think that as the first batch of Beast Tamers, they are fully capable of fighting.

"Work hard, you have a chance to catch up with them."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

The three turned around at the same time, and when they saw the figure of the person who came, Lin Hongwei and Gong Jia looked flustered and quickly nodded and said hello: "Teacher Jiang."

As a battle class teacher, Jiang Yuntao's strength is mediocre, but he has in-depth research on pet battles and can provide each student with guidance that suits their own situation, so he is highly respected.

Chen Yuan recognized this person as Jiang Yuntao, who had led the students to the Qinling Mountains for training, and nodded slightly: "Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Yuntao smiled: "Consultant Chen, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Then, he looked at Lin Hongwei and Gong Jia: "Are you friends with Consultant Chen?"

"Yes, we specially brought Consultant Chen in for a visit."

Lin Hongwei replied truthfully.

Jiang Yuntao showed a look of sudden realization: "Since you are here, Consultant Chen, come in and take a look with me. I happen to be a judge for this competition."

After a pause, he continued: "It's a pity that Zhuang Jianbai has been busy preparing for a series of competitions recently and is not at school."

"Otherwise, he would be happy if he knew you were coming."

Chen Yuan's mouth twitched.

He didn't know if he would be happy, but Zhuang Jianbai would definitely challenge him without hesitation.

Under the leadership of Jiang Yuntao, the three walked into the battle hall.

Lin Hongwei couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart: "Teacher Jiang, how did you get to know Consultant Chen?"

Jiang Yuntao stopped, turned his head to look at Chen Yuan, and in an instant, many pictures flashed back, and many thoughts flowed in his mind, and finally he smiled and said: "I met him when I led the team to Qinling for training."

After a slight pause, he said earnestly: "Consultant Chen is a respectable and powerful Beast Tamer. Since you are lucky enough to know him, you must learn from Consultant Chen."

"Yes, yes, we will."

The two nodded heavily.

"Consultant Chen, please."

Jiang Yuntao stretched out his right hand, with a more solemn expression on his face when facing Chen Yuan, as if he was receiving an important leader.

Lin Hongwei and Gong Jia looked at each other and felt something was wrong at the same time.

Teacher Jiang seems to value Consultant Chen very much?

Could it be that he values Consultant Chen's strength and wants him to study at the school?

Thinking about it, Consultant Chen and Lao Zhuang are Beast Tamers of the same batch, and the academy cannot let go of this kind of genius.

At this moment, Jiang Yuntao's expression seemed calm, but his heart was surging.

He wanted to take out his mobile phone and immediately contact the school leaders to let them personally invite Chen Yuan to join the academy.

Not to come in as a student, but as a teacher.

This is a Beast Tamer who can easily defeat Zhuang Jianbai. It would be a waste to be a student, and no teacher can teach him.

Only a teacher can give full play to his talents without restricting him.

At the same time,

A fierce pet battle is taking place inside the battle hall.

The Beast Tamer on the left commanded the Fiery Eagle Vulture to swoop down, its wings rolled up with raging flames; the Beast Tamer on the right let the Tide Songstress raise a water curtain to dissolve it, a cloud of water mist was stirred up for a while.

Yuan Xiong stood aside with his arms crossed, his eyes erratic, and his attention was not on this battle at all.

"What's wrong with you today? You've been looking upset since you came back."

Roommate Wang Ze obviously noticed Yuan Xiong's abnormality.

"I lost the battle today."

Yuan Xiong replied in a very unhappy tone.

Wang Ze raised his eyebrows: "Is there a Beast Tamer who can defeat you in that place?"

Yuan Xiong was silent at first, and then said in a resentful tone: "That is a very perverted Beast Tamer, who sent out a very evil pet."

"By the way, that pet has not been contracted by him yet."

"Ah?"

Wang Ze looked stunned and didn't understand at all.

Yuan Xiong clenched his fists, gnashing his teeth with anger: "Anyway, it's very disgusting. A wood-type pet has mastered high-level poison-type skills and exhausted the Rock Armor Giant Snail to death."

"Poison-type skills, then it's okay."

Wang Ze patted his good brother on the shoulder to express his comfort.

"Damn it, if I meet that person in the future, I must let him send out his contracted pet for a head-on battle."

"What kind of real man is it to win by relying on these despicable and insidious skills?"

Yuan Xiong was indignant.

"Don't think about these things, watch the game carefully, Teacher Jiang has arranged a task to write a thousand-word viewing experience."

Wang Ze said.

"Okay."

Yuan Xiong responded heavily.

The two stopped talking and watched the game seriously.

However, not long after, several figures suddenly walked out of the passage directly opposite, immediately attracting a batch of attention.

Yuan Xiong raised his head along the crowd's gaze, and saw the figure that made him feel extremely aggrieved. He suddenly clenched his fists, like an angry bull, about to rush over.

Wang Ze grabbed his good brother in time and whispered: "Teacher Jiang is next to him."

Hearing this, Yuan Xiong, panting heavily, quickly calmed down, just staring at that figure.

"Is that the person standing on Teacher Jiang's left?"

Wang Ze asked.

He knew Lin Hongwei and Gong Jia who were next to Teacher Jiang, but he had never seen the person on the left.

"Don't worry, let's see what's going on first."

Wang Ze advised.

Yuan Xiong stood in place, silent.

"Consultant Chen, please sit next to me."

Jiang Yuntao beckoned Chen Yuan to sit on the judges' bench.

He is the chief person in charge of this school competition, and he still has this right.

"Is this okay?"

Chen Yuan looked hesitant.

"There's nothing wrong with it. With your strength, you can sit anywhere."

Jiang Yuntao smiled faintly.

Lin Hongwei and Gong Jia both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Is Teacher Jiang's attention to Consultant Chen too high?

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't sit down, Jiang Yuntao added: "In the past, association consultants also came to the school for visits, and they all sat here."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan no longer hesitated and sat directly next to Jiang Yuntao, while Lin Hongwei and Gong Jia obediently sat in the audience.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ze touched Yuan Xiong's arm and lowered his voice: "Are you sure it's him? Don't mistake the person."

"I can't possibly mistake him."

Yuan Xiong was deeply impressed by Chen Yuan.

"Look at this identity, it's not ordinary. Could it be a teacher from another academy, or an important figure in the association?"

Wang Ze stroked his chin and made a guess.

"Who cares who he is."

Yuan Xiong crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "I will challenge him later, I must get my face back."

"Since people can sit next to Teacher Jiang, their strength must be good."

Wang Ze cautiously advised.

Yuan Xiong didn't care: "Teacher Jiang's strength is not good either."

Wang Ze shook his head: "Since others can cultivate a pet that can defeat you, it means ."

Yuan Xiong was full of disapproval and retorted: "That was a fluke victory through despicable and insidious tactics."

"Are you saying you won or didn't win?"

Wang Ze said.

Yuan Xiong was silent.

Wang Ze continued: "Then his main pet is probably stronger, you have to think clearly."

Yuan Xiong clenched his palm into a fist, and the flames of revenge burned in his eyes: "I don't accept being defeated in such an aggrieved way. I want to fight him head-on."

Wang Ze stopped persuading.

Even if it is the tail end of the academy, there is dignity that belongs to him.

Although many students cast inquiring glances at Chen Yuan, who was sitting next to Jiang Yuntao, the fierce battle on the field continued, and their attention quickly turned to the field.

Chen Yuan was also watching the battle seriously.

The strength of the academy students is not bad. The pets sent out by both sides are of the second rank, and the skill proficiency is obviously not low. The collision of moves caused a shocking scene, which made the watching students cheer again and again.

Although the Fiery Eagle Vulture has an attribute advantage against the Tide Songstress, the former's Beast Tamer is steady and steady, and has not revealed any flaws. As time passed, it gradually gained the upper hand.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Yuntao suddenly asked.

Chen Yuan said: "They are all very powerful."

Jiang Yuntao smiled slightly: "It's not bad, but it's still far from being a truly powerful Beast Tamer."

Chen Yuan's mind moved: "Are you referring to the students at the headquarters?"

"Yes," Jiang Yuntao said, gesturing towards the students all around. His voice lowered, "Some students are arrogant, believing they are no worse than the students over there."

"Some have even had contact with those students and deeply understand the vast difference between the two groups."

After a slight pause, he said casually, "But if there were a famous teacher to guide them, perhaps these gaps could be narrowed."

Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Jiang Yuntao.

Jiang Yuntao smiled and said, "In my opinion, Consultant Chen is such a famous teacher."

Chen Yuan said helplessly, "Actually, I don't know how to cultivate or train pet beasts. They all work hard on their own."

Jiang Yuntao didn't respond to this, only staring at Chen Yuan with an expression that said, 'Do you think I believe that?'

While the two were talking, the match concluded with the Crimson Flame Eagle Vulture's victory. Jiang Yuntao sat up straight and commented on the performances of both competitors, slowly pointing out their mistakes.

After Jiang Yuntao finished speaking, Chen Yuan asked in confusion, "Teacher Jiang, you understand pet beast battles so well, why don't you train pet beasts yourself?"

Jiang Yuntao sighed helplessly, "Is it that I don't want to? It's that I don't have the talent for it."

Chen Yuan asked curiously, "What's your meditation count?"

"Ten times," Jiang Yuntao said quietly.

Chen Yuan understood.

Match after match continued until, an hour later, they were all over.

Jiang Yuntao didn't give Chen Yuan a chance to show off by asking him to help comment on the Beast Tamers from both sides, as such behavior was against the rules.

"Everyone's performance today was pretty good. Although there were some minor flaws, keep up the good work."

"Tomorrow is the first of a new month, and a very important competition awaits you all. Train hard," Jiang Yuntao said loudly as he stood up.

As his voice faded, the students stood up one after another and left the arena.

"Consultant Chen, let me take you to see the other places," Jiang Yuntao said, preparing to take Chen Yuan to the office building to have the leaders persuade this powerful Beast Tamer to join the academy.

Just then, a muscular man in a vest walked over quickly, his voice booming, "Teacher Jiang!"

Jiang Yuntao stopped and looked at Yuan Xiong in confusion, "What is it?"

Yuan Xiong stared straight at Chen Yuan, the burning fighting spirit in his eyes undisguised, "I want to challenge this Beast Tamer."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuntao fell silent, as did Lin Hongwei and Gong Jia.

After a long while, Jiang Yuntao looked at Yuan Xiong with an extremely strange expression, "Are you kidding me?"

Yuan Xiong's eyes were blazing, "I'm serious. I lost to him in the battle today, and I'm not convinced."

Jiang Yuntao hesitated, "It's a good thing that young people aren't willing to admit defeat, but..."

But this was an opponent that even the academy's number one couldn't defeat.

Yuan Xiong looked at Chen Yuan, "I want to have a fair fight with you, using your main pet beast."

Main pet beast?

Yuan Xiong lost to the Gale Hunting Hound?

What was there to be unconvinced about?

A wave of confusion arose in his heart, but Jiang Yuntao didn't try to dissuade him, only looking at Chen Yuan, "Consultant Chen, what do you think?"

Hearing Jiang Yuntao's title and cautious tone, Yuan Xiong suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

But the challenge had already been issued, and more and more students were gathering. He couldn't go back on his word now, so he had to tighten his expression and put on a look of intense fighting spirit.

"I have no problem with that."

Chen Yuan didn't expect to meet Yuan Xiong again, but seeing the intense fighting spirit in the other party's eyes, he knew that this battle was unavoidable.

Then let's do it.

The two walked towards the battle arena, and the students returned to the stands, looking ahead with great interest.

On one side was the academy's worst performer, and on the other was a mysterious Beast Tamer of unknown identity. This battle was going to be a good show.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yuntao asked in a low voice.

Lin Hongwei replied in a very fast voice, "Consultant Chen met Yuan Xiong at a battle restaurant."

Jiang Yuntao first nodded in understanding, then looked puzzled, "Then what's there to be unconvinced about losing to the Gale Hunting Hound?"

Even Zhuang Jianbai was convinced, yet you, Yuan Xiong, as the worst performer, are not convinced?

Lin Hongwei pursed his lips and hesitated, "It wasn't the Gale Hunting Hound, it was the Twin Flower Consort on Consultant Chen's shoulder."

"A Tier 2 pet beast that hasn't been contracted."

"Huh?" Jiang Yuntao was stunned.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Yuan and Yuan Xiong faced each other from afar.

Without the need for a referee, the two only exchanged a glance before summoning their respective pet beasts.

Yuan Xiong still sent out the Rock Armor Giant Snail, but the moment it appeared and saw the Twin Flower Consort, its body visibly trembled.

Apparently, the battle at noon had left a deep psychological shadow on it.

Yuan Xiong keenly noticed the emotional change in the Rock Armor Giant Snail, so he comforted it, "Don't be afraid, our opponent isn't that guy."

"Awoo~"

The Gale Hunting Hound gradually appeared, enveloped in a white light. Accompanied by a proud bark, its fur wildly fluttered, its fluffy tail swung freely, and its extremely aggressive gaze stared straight ahead, like a lion king dominating the prairie.

"What a handsome Gale Hunting Hound."

"That aura isn't weak at all."

The students present were all Beast Tamers with discerning eyes, able to roughly analyze the strength of a pet beast based on its aura, appearance, size, energy, and spirit.

This Gale Hunting Hound was not bad.

The sense of foreboding in Yuan Xiong's heart grew stronger. He licked his dry lips and tried his best to steady his thoughts, "Don't be afraid, the Gale Hunting Hound can't possibly have poison-type skills. We can fight!"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Yuan Xiong issued a command, "Boulder Barrage!"

The Gale Hunting Hound was a high-agility pet beast, so he would first use a ranged attack skill to suppress its range of movement.

"Ooh!"

The dark red crystals on the Rock Armor Giant Snail's back flashed at a high frequency, and jagged boulders gathered around it, continuously bombarding the Gale Hunting Hound!

The Boulder Barrage covered a wide area and was fast. All the students were looking forward to Chen Yuan's response.

Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged as a thought arose in his mind, "Air Vortex Assault."

Air Vortex Assault was a skill that Cola had independently awakened after advancing to the Commander Tier.

However, its proficiency had been low for a while, and it had never been used in battle.

At this moment, the Gale Hunting Hound had the confidence to use this skill.

"Awoo~"

Cola's limbs lowered slightly, and its light brown fur stood on end, as if an invisible hand had stroked its spine against the grain.

The wind began to stir.

A circle of light blue ripples appeared around its toes, as if it were stepping on an invisible surface of water.

The low roar still echoed in their ears when the air suddenly collapsed—a spiral wind vortex formed with the hound's body as the axis!

The surrounding dust and light were distorted and sucked in, wrapping around it like a violent gaseous drill.

Bang!

The moment the sonic boom exploded, Cola transformed into an afterimage that pierced through the arena. The wind vortex rubbed against the air, erupting with cyan sparks. The ground it passed was plowed into a deep gully.

The boulders that were bombarding it were mercilessly crushed into powder by the wind vortex that Cola was carrying.

In the blink of an eye, Cola had already approached the Rock Armor Giant Snail.

"Dodge quickly!"

Yuan Xiong had never expected that the first exchange would be like this. At this critical moment, he could only issue the most helpless command.

But the divine skill of "Dodge quickly" was clearly not something he could possess.

The Rock Armor Giant Snail raised its head blankly, and the wind drill had already slammed into its shell-covered body. The high-frequency rotating airflow was like millions of boning knives, constantly tearing at it.

The Rock Armor Giant Snail's wails were shattered into intermittent hisses by the wind vortex, and its massive body was pushed backward by a huge force.

At that moment, Cola suddenly withdrew and leaped back, its azure eyes quietly staring at the Rock Armor Giant Snail, which had fallen heavily to the ground.

The previous exchange didn't seem like a warm-up to it.

For a moment,

the arena was silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the Rock Armor Giant Snail that had fallen into a coma, but their attention was drawn back to Cola, which was roaring with its head held high.

Its fur flew wildly, its eyes were bright and spirited, and it stood majestically on the ground.

The exchange just now didn't seem like a warm-up to it.

For a time,

the arena was silent.
