Chapter 250 - Obviously You Can Depend on Your Own Strength (1/2)

-Isn’t this supposed to be a squad? Why are there only three people?-

Seeing the three uniformed man standing in a row, as if performing an arms drill, Zhang Che blinked, thinking to himself that this squad was indeed very small.

However, Huang Juyun didn’t care about Zhang Che’s silent cursings as he introduced them. “This is Liu Gang, their squad captain. He advanced into a high-tier beastmaster two years ago.”

“Nice to meet you, Zhang-shao!” Liu Gang saluted Zhang Che sharply. The man was in his thirties, with a medium build. His skin was tanned, his appearance tough and determined.

Zhang Che hurriedly waved his hand, “Don’t, don’t. Just calling me Zhang Che is fine!”

-What the heck is it with the shao suffix! It sounds like it’s used exclusively for antagonistic characters! I don’t want to collect lunchboxes. Otherwise, how is the author going to continue the story?-¹

Liu Gang didn’t respond to him. Instead, he turned to look at Huang Juyun.

Huang Juyun nodded at Liu Gang, then continued introducing the other two men to Zhang Che, “Alright, you guys call him Zhang Che, then. This is Pang Dazhi, and this is Yi Chong. Both of them are also high-tier beastmasters.”

Pang Dazhi was true to his name. He had a large build, with a tiger’s back and a bear’s waist. On the other hand, Yi Chong was the smallest of the three, but he exuded the aura of a fierce elite.

Since Zhang Che didn’t allow them to address him as Zhang-shao, they only nodded at him in acknowledgement.

The three of them were all at a similar age, and were all high-tier beastmasters. It forced Zhang Che to reevaluate the Huang family’s influence.

It was no easy task to nurture a high-tier beastmaster, and now Huang Juyun had directly shown three of them to Zhang Che, the aim of which was merely to train his close combat skills.

He could imagine that the Huang family had quite a number of such high-tier beastmasters who had yet to show themselves. They were definitely the top-tier forces of the Huang family!

“Alright, since you all know each other now, you’ll set off tomorrow morning,” Huang Juyun nodded at them once more. After that, everyone left of their own accord.

——

The next morning, Zhang Che woke up early and met up with Liu Gang’s squad at the front courtyard of the Huang family’s ancestral home. However, he was surprised to see Liu Gang was actually accompanied by a black tiger as tall as a human, and about six meters long.

Just as he was wondering about this, Huang Juyun smiled and explained, “This is Liu Gang’s pet. He tamed it by chance in the beast world. Now that it’s fully grown, its at six-star silver-quality. It can help with catching exotic beasts for food in the beast world.”

Zhang Che was greatly moved. His father-in-law knew that he had a huge appetite and he purposefully found someone with a pet to help him. What a thoughtful man!

“Thank you, Uncle Huang!”

“What’s there to thank me for? I was originally thinking of getting you a spatial-type beast card, but my card wasn’t spacious enough and couldn’t bring much food. I was afraid it wouldn’t be able to last you for many days, so I got Liu Gang here,” Huang Juyun explained, chuckling.

Zhang Che thought inwardly, -I knew it. These large families do have spatial-type beast cards! But father-in-law said his spatial-type beast card can’t hold many items. What’s that about?

-Could it be that those spatial-type beast cards usually don’t have much room?-

Thinking of that, Zhang Che immediately felt that his Purple Crystal Tortoise was indeed some high-end stuff, with a thousand cubic meters of space! The Heavens knew how many beast cards that was equivalent to…

More importantly, the Purple Crystal Tortoise was not only a storage-type subdued beast; its offensive and defensive abilities were similarly top-tier!

——

After bidding farewell to Huang Juyun and Huang Tielan, Zhang Che and Liu Gang’s squad boarded a military vehicle and headed straight to the spatial gateway over a hundred kilometers to the northwest of Bei Du.

This was the beast world Liu Gang and the others frequented and were more familiar with, so they chose to bring Zhang Che there to train his close combat skills.
