“Mr. Nong? Please come in.”

Ye Xuan invited Nong Lejia inside.

Ye Xuan had heard of this man before and instantly knew who he was by his distinctive appearnce.

After all, there were very few Beast Tamers who were bald.

It was said that this person had been admitted to Jiangzhou University six years ago. He had returned to Yunhai City a month ago and had become an assistant teacher of Yunhai City’s Beast Taming Class.

“Yep, that’s me. I received a call from my teacher. He told me to come to your place and evaluate your Beast Taming aptitude.” Upon entering Ye Xuan’s room, Nong Lejia went straight to the point.

He wasn’t in a hurry to work on building an amicable relationship with Ye Xuan right off the bat.

Now, his top priority was to test whether Ye Xuan’s aptitude was truly so powerful that he could conjure two Beast Seeds immediately after awakening his Beast Taming aptitude.

“No problem.” Ye Xuan nodded and said, “What should I do to cooperate?”

“It’s simple,” Nong Lejia said with a smile. “According to my teacher’s instructions, we don’t need to do anything special. We just need to test whether you really have two Beast Seeds.

“So, for this assessment, you just have to communicate with your Beast Seeds and funnel your mind energy into both simultaneously.”

As he spoke, he took out two white, crystal-clear beads.

“Uhm…”

Ye Xuan was taken aback. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I only have one Beast Seed with me right now. I’ve already used the other seed.”

“You already used the other seed, you said?”

A look of surprise appeared on Nong Jiale’s face. After a momentary pause, he said, “That’s not a problem, but what beast did you choose to be your first?”

“This is my first beast.”

Ye Xuan stretched out his hand, allowing Lil Wan to land on his palm.

“An elf?”

Nong Jiale’s mouth immediately dropped wide open. “My brother, you mustn’t use your Beast Seeds indiscriminately. Forming a contract with an elf is a waste of precious Beast Seed.”

“It’s not a waste.” Ye Xuan shook his head. “Her name is Lil Wan, one of my dearest companions.

“Besides, I have a special talent. After I contracted Lil Wan, I acquired a method to raise her star rating. As of now, she’s already a three-star Ancient Wood Elf.

“I have a way to make her a five-star Divine Wood Elf once she breaks into the Dark Iron Level.”

Ye Xuan made no secret of his talent.

In this era, the stronger a person’s talent, the more attention that person would get.

By showcasing his extraordinary talent, Jiangzhou University would only value him even more.

And give him more benefits.

“A three-star Ancient Wood Elf? Didn’t you just awaken your Beast Taming aptitude?”

Nong Jiale couldn’t believe it.

He had just awakened his Beast Taming aptitude, so how could he have already upgraded his one-star beast so quickly?

And no matter how he looked at Lil Wan, he felt that she was nothing more than an elf.

He could draw no relationship between her and the Ancient Wood Elves that had pointy ears and dark green skin.

“Lil Wan.” Ye Xuan waved his hand and made Lil Wan levitate in front of him.

“How dare he not believe Ye Xuan and me!” Lil Wan thought.

(・_・)ノ⌒●~*!! Hmph.

Understanding Ye Xuan’s intention, she extended her hand forward, and immediately, a vine of the Ironwood Thorn, which was as thick as an iron chain, whizzed out of her hand and slashed through the air, emitting ear-piercing whipping sounds.

“Is she really an Ancient Wood Elf?” Nong Jiale asked with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He couldn’t believe that he had actually misjudged him.

Thinking about this, he immediately said, “Alright, I get it. Rest assured, my report about you will be nothing but truthful!”

“But getting back to the assessment, you only have to communicate with your remaining Beast Seed and then funnel your Mind Energy into this Beast Pearl.”

After saying all this, he felt indescribably envious.

He had enrolled at Jiangzhou University six years ago.

Now, he was already a Silver-Level Beast Tamer at the peak of his rank.

But he only had four beasts in his possession.

And all four beasts he had were at the Silver Level.

In spite of this, two of his beasts had already reached their peak. Unless he upgraded them, it would be very difficult for the beasts to acquire any further improvements.

Of the remaining two, one was a two-star Silver-Level beast, while the other was a three-star Silver-Level beast.

In other words, only one of his beasts had a chance of advancing to the Platinum Level.
