Chapter 21 (1/2)

Chen An immediately refuted this thought just as it flashed across his mind.

Wrong. This was because they had poor foresight, and there were many things that they were ignorant of.

“What was that earlier?”

“I’ve never seen a Beast Tamer attack in this way.”

Normally, the beast’s performance was the centerpiece of a beast combat. Although the Beast Tamer was expected to fight alongside the beast, they usually played a very small part in the combat.

No one had seen a situation like this before. Dou Buxiang had stood beside Chen An idly while Chen An had attacked and defeated Zheng Qing on his own.

“No, he has clearly used the skill of the beast just now.”

There were strict requirements for using the skill of a beast. For example, only a beast could use the skill. Other factors of consideration were compatibility, skill chamber, and so on.

In short, no matter what, it was impossible for a Beast Tamer to use the skill of a beast.

There was an uproar, followed by heated discussions. In the end, there was a huge commotion.

Not far away, the teachers from De Yuan College could not allow the situation to continue.

What happened today was too intriguing. The outstanding descendant of the Icicles River Carp clan had suddenly suffered defeat. Afterward, an extraordinary Beast Tamer appeared.

Either of these was enough to cause a stir.

Lin Xiaoxiao stood up. She had been watching by the sidelines at the teacher stand. True enough, Chen An did not disappoint her. “The outcome of the first assessment is already known. Let’s continue and get ready for the next assessment.”

Her tone was calm and unfazed. She continued with the assessment as she would normally do.

Following the second and third assessments, the discussions gradually died down. Everyone’s mood had been swayed by the assessment’s nervous atmosphere, and they seldom discussed Chen An anymore.

Seated on the teacher’s stand, Lin Xiaoxiao sighed softly. “Sigh, the truth always comes out. There is no point in concealing the truth.”

She said this again when she met Lin Yingxue.

Lin Yingxue had been waiting for this auntie of hers at De Yuan College. She wanted to find out Chen An’s situation at the assessment today. “At this time, the assessments have not ended… Did auntie hurry to leave because of me…”

“Yingxue, I didn’t hurry because of you.”

“Otherwise?” Lin Yingxue’s voice faltered slightly. She was afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao would deliver the bad news of Chen An or the assessment.

“You can ask him yourself.” Lin Xiaoxiao’s mouth curled into a seeming smile. “He has done something great.”

Lin Yingxue did not understand what her auntie meant. Just as she wanted to press on, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and turned around.

Following Lin Xiaoxiao was Chen An.

Lin Yingxue’s face blushed the moment she saw Chen An. She stammered to him, “When… When did you arrive?”

“The college has been very considerate. My assessment was the first one. Now that it has ended, I have some spare time to explore this place.” Chen An wrapped his arms around his shoulders, looking as if he was an old man going for an after-meal leisure walk.

“You have already passed the assessment and are a student of De Yuan College henceforth. I brought you here to familiarize you with the environment, not to wander around aimlessly.” Lin Xiaoxiao spoke like a teacher.
