“Beat him to death. Hahaha.”

A few young boys were surrounding something in the street.

Amid shrill yells, beams of striking blue light were gushing out constantly.

“Hurry, go on. Why are you in a daze? Continue to attack, Light Cone Fox!”

Surrounded by this group of boys was a fox that was releasing strange and mysterious blue light. It was having a one-sided victory in its fight with another animal.

Chen An happened to pass by the group, and he furrowed his brows.

If this situation were to occur on Earth—the place of his origins, and when he had previously been leading an ordinary life—he would have fished out his cell phone and captured the blue light fox for a web-search.

However, it was different in this world.

He had just recently transmigrated but was already stunned by the so-called “beast taming” in this place.

Beast taming was not as simple as rearing a pet at home.

Therefore, the situation before his eyes was not purely a case of bullying stray animals. It was not something that he could poke his nose into.

Chen An sighed and shook his head.

Forget it, he thought. He could not afford to offend these people.

“Wang Yi, you’re such a flop! Your Light Cone Fox doesn’t even obey you. How are you going to become a Beast Tamer in the future?”

“Forget it. I don’t think the problem lies with Wang Yi. A beast such as the Light Cone Fox is inferior and low-grade. Wang Yi, you should dump it as soon as you can.”

Exasperated, the boy called Wang Yi knelt down and slammed his fist on the ground. He ordered heinously, “Light Cone Fox, if you don’t kill it, you’re no longer qualified to be my Combat Beast!”

The Light Cone Fox originally did not intend to hurt the “enemy”, but it forced itself to attack again for fear of being abandoned.

Dark blue light converged at the end of the Light Cone Fox’s tail.

The fox looked down momentarily and seemed to have made up its mind. Then, it shot a beam of blue light toward the beast that was already covered in injuries.

The beast cried and was flung out by half a meter. It hit the corner of a wall by the street and was already at its last breath.

“Hahaha, you did a fairly good job. Light Cone Fox, I didn’t waste the large sum of money used to buy you.” Wang Yi laughed hysterically.

The people around him echoed.

“Not bad. It’s a good beast.”

“The other unwanted and inferior beast should go and die soon. It’s useless!”

Chen An was preparing to leave when he heard those words. He paused in his tracks.

In this place, beast taming was part and parcel of one’s daily life. There were Work Beasts that could work for people, Smart Beasts that could carry out complex tasks, and Combat Beasts that could fight.

Not everyone had the same share of talent in beast taming, though.

Some were born to be heaven’s pride. They possessed a strong talent for beast taming and were destined for a smooth sailing life in this world.

On the other hand, some did not have the slightest bit of talent or affinity in beast taming, even if they were to be given the most inferior kind of beast to tame. In this world, they were labeled as scum and wastrels, and they faced oppression as the lower class. Nobody cared about their well-being, and they were left to sink into degradation.

Unfortunately, Chen An belonged to the latter group.

When he had initially transmigrated to this place, he had been filled with curiosity and also longed to tame a beast.

However, it was a pity that he did not possess the talent. Not long after he had transmigrated, he could already sense hostility from the people here.

A splendid and exciting world was clearly right before him, but he had to stand on the sideline idly.

Sorry, he could not bring himself to do that!

When Wang Yi instructed the Light Cone Fox to strike a fatal blow, Chen An hollered furiously, “Stop!”

Wang Yi was obviously shocked, and he quivered.
