I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer

Street vendors were shouting their wares, and tourists were walking around, bringing with them a variety of pet animals, including deer, bears, dogs, and cats, creating a constant noise.

In the streets and alleys of the city, there are lavishly decorated houses scattered around. In an open-air square, an arena is openly set up. Beastmasters stand on both sides of the arena. The pets in the arena collide with each other like a whirlwind, and the sounds of fists hitting flesh can be heard in the car.

Jiang Xue looked at the scenery outside the car, her little face full of excitement.

The little mantis beast on her shoulder was also dancing with its dual swords excitedly, imagining that the pet beast that was going to fight on the ring was her.

"Senior, can we make money by fighting in the ring?" Jiang Xue saw people under the ring raising their banknotes, and some even threw spirit stones into the ring.

Lu Yuan then took a look at the arena.

He always keeps his language proficiency skill on, slightly adjusting the direction of his mental sympathy and concentrating on listening to the voices on the ring.

The surging voices rushed into his ears. Lu Yuan took a few seconds to sort out the information and said, "The winner on stage will get a spirit stone. Off stage, it's a gambling game. You can bet on how many minutes they can last and who will win."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue secretly took note of this way of making money.

"But you also saw that this is a life and death arena, not a pet beast duel that ends at a certain point. They will not hold back when they attack, and some pet beasts are specifically going after killing pet beasts. Are you afraid?" Lu Yuan said.

Since Jiang Xue wants to make progress, she must understand the dangers involved.

Lu Yuan was not trying to dissuade her from trying, but was testing her ability to withstand pressure and her determination to improve.

Those who are indecisive will perish in a life-or-death battle.

If you want to become stronger, you first need to cultivate a strong heart.

Jiang Xue's personality is still very simple, like a blank sheet of paper.

Such a personality will definitely not be able to withstand the damage of the outside world.

When Jiang Xue heard Lu Yuan's question, her face turned slightly pale.

I was so busy making money that I didn't expect the pet beast showdown in the city to be so dangerous. I was actually risking my life to make money.

"I..." Jiang Xue looked at the little mantis next to her.

She couldn't make the decision for Mantismon, as Mantismon himself needed to agree to it.

The two tentacles on the little mantis beast's head trembled, and its four legs retreated half a step from its shoulders. It was obviously a little scared.

"Confidence comes from constant fighting. Don't think about those dangerous jobs. At least they are not suitable for you now." Lu Yuan said.

"Okay, I understand, senior." Jiang Xue thought that Senior Lu would try to persuade her to go back in a roundabout way.

After hearing this, she realized that Lu Yuan was seriously teaching her how to survive, rather than just preaching.

"Thank you, senior." Jiang Xue said sincerely.

This was the bravest step she had ever taken since she was a child.

Even she herself couldn't believe that she was so brave. Now that she had witnessed the dangers in the city, her emotions had stabilized and she was not so stupid anymore. But at the same time, her courage was not enough... If she could go back in time and return to the scene of farewell at the village entrance, she couldn't say that she would definitely take that step.

After a while, the convoy entered the Tornado Martial Arts School.

The people on the carriage got off one after another. As soon as Lu Yuan and Jiang Xue got off, Zhuge Xiu came over and said with a smile:

"Senior Lu, is this your disciple?"

Jiang Xue looked embarrassed. How could she dare to call herself Lu Yuan's disciple?

Just as he was about to explain his identity, Lu Yuan said, "This is my student."

Apprentice and student have similar meanings, but different specific connotations.

An apprentice is someone who learns Lu Yuan's skills and inherits Lu Yuan's lineage.

For students, the relationship is much more distant and they will not be exposed to the true core of inheritance.

But it is not ruled out that the relationship may become formal and the student may become an apprentice in the future.

Jiang Xue doesn't care about all the twists and turns.

When she heard Lu Yuan's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed.

"I am actually Senior Lu's student!"

Zhuge Xiu also nodded, looked at the mantis beast on her shoulder, and thought: "So she is a student, but her mantis beast..."

Lu Yuan's students cultivate mantis beasts, and Lu Yuan expresses his desire to learn the inheritance of the whirlwind mantis.

Is this about finding a suitable inheritance for his students?

Zhuge Xiu's mind raced, and he welcomed her with a smile:

"Then I will arrange two adjacent guest rooms for you. Miss Jiang, I have asked the servants to boil some hot water. You can change into clean clothes and come over later."

"Thank you, Senior Zhuge." Jiang Xue hurriedly thanked.

"It's okay. Senior Lu, please come this way?"

"please."

Lu Yuan and Zhuge Xiu entered the main hall of the martial arts hall.

Jiang Xue followed the servant to take a bath.

She couldn't walk around in there in such a dirty state, or she would lose face for Lu Yuan.

……

"Whoosh!"

"puff!"

In the training ground of the martial arts gym, the young beastmasters were actively training the mantis beasts to fight in groups of two.

Lu Yuan followed Zhuge Xiu to a field of wooden stakes. Dozens of wooden stakes stood on the sand. Several mantis beasts used mantis jumps flexibly to move on the wooden stakes very quickly.

"This is our Whirlwind Mantis's whirlwind training method. By continuously kicking and jumping, and staying in the air for a longer rotation time, we can achieve the training purpose.

“The longer you spin, the greater your chance of successfully realizing Whirlwind Slash.

“However, superficial training alone will not allow you to directly comprehend Whirlwind Slash.

“As for how to train the Whirlwind Slash, that is the secret of this gym.

“Senior Lu, outsiders who want to learn our martial arts school’s inheritance usually have to pay tuition to become apprentice disciples of our martial arts school. They can only learn the superficial skills. The real Whirlwind Slash can only be learned by true disciples.

"If you want to learn the real inherited craft, I'm not optimistic. The master won't agree."

Zhuge Xiu shook his head, indicating his disapproval.

He truly regarded Lu Yuan as a powerful senior and had no intention of deceiving him, but he really did not think highly of him.

The true inheritance is not so easy to pass on to you.

"Whether the deal can be concluded or not, we have to meet in person to know for sure." Lu Yuan did not comment.

He stared at the Mantismon on the field with his eyes particularly absorbed, as if he was attracted by those two-star Mantismon that had not yet comprehended the Whirlwind Slash.

Zhuge Xiu smiled and said, "If you have confidence, I will not stop you. When Miss Jiang comes out after bathing and changing clothes, I will take you and your students to see my master."

"Yeah." Lu Yuan responded, his eyes still fixed on the beastmaster and pets on the field.

"Senior, staring at me like this is useless. I can't learn anything secretly."

"No, I just watched the whole set of movements you used when exercising." Lu Yuan shook his head.

When others train mantis beasts, they practice their proficiency and focus on methods and processes.

What Lu Yuan looked at was which core muscle was exercised during the training process.

The force applied will vary depending on the part of the muscle you exercise.

This is the different direction in the evolutionary paths of many mantis beasts.

Details determine the future direction of evolution. As long as Mantismon's foundation is well-trained and combined with a professional directed evolution formula, Mantismon can be evolved back to its ancestral form and become Tornado Mantismon.

Lu Yuan recalled the evolution paper of "Tumbleweed Mantis" in his mind. A series of training data echoed in his mind and compared it with the whirlwind mantis.

Lu Yuan watched for about half an hour, and Jiang Xue came back to him wearing new clothes and the white martial arts uniform given by the martial arts school.
