Chapter 21 (2/2)
“De Yuan? I promised someone to go to the assessment, but I didn’t promise to enter the college. I have my own ways to become a Beast Tamer.”
Chen An said this deliberately. True enough, both Lin Yingxue and Lin Xiaoxiao became anxious.
One of them said that De Yuan College was the best beast-taming college, and he should not let his talent go to waste. She even added shyly, “I have been waiting here for you. How can you not attend?”
The other one refused to let him go as well, but she was more seasoned.
“I’ve clearly told you that I’m determined on this. You have to come to De Yuan College. Be frank with me. Is there anything that you are dissatisfied with? Or what else do you want?”
She suddenly looked as if she had just recalled something and said, “Oh, right! Outstanding freshmen of De Yuan College can receive a large reward. You will also find out why the college is able to nurture that many exemplary Beast Tamers once you see the training field. There are more female Beast Tamers than male ones…”
Upon hearing that, Lin Yingxue cast a resentful glance toward her auntie.
Chen An then stopped teasing them. “This sounds fairly good. But… something seems to be lacking.”
Lin Xiaoxiao was amused. “I didn’t expect you to be that difficult to talk to. Alright. After you come to De Yuan, you can look for me on any issues. Will that do?”
“Well…” Chen An had not agreed. He deliberately dragged his word to hold the two ladies in suspense. At last, he nodded.
“But, speaking of this, since you beat Zheng Qing, you will also be considered a key student of De Yuan. We’ll see what those horrible old fogeys have to say.”
At the thought of the earlier meeting, Lin Xiaoxiao could not wait to see the expressions of those people when they saw Chen An in De Yuan.
“Zheng Qing…” Lin Yingxue muttered this name once. She looked down, her face filled with worries.
Chen An asked her what happened. This was someone whom he had defeated. Why did they have to be afraid?
Lin Yingxue stammered, “No matter what, Zheng Qing is a descendant of the Icicles River Carp clan. He doesn’t need to go through the assessments to get into De Yuan. Therefore, this won’t impact his enrollment.”
“Oh.” Toward this, Chen An seemed extremely calm and unaffected.
This kind of situation was normal and unsurprising at all.
“Zheng Qing lost to you this time, and he definitely won’t let this matter rest. Chen An, you have to be careful.”
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, “Zheng Qing is very insidious, cunning, arrogant, and prideful. He would not have lost to you if he had not underestimated his opponent this time.”
“Hey, although Zheng Qing is very formidable, you guys don’t need to belittle me.” Chen An had acknowledged Zheng Qing’s capability through his exchange with him today. However, the indisputable outcome of the combat was right before them.
Lin Xiaoxiao analyzed the situation objectively. “Zheng Qing was too anxious in that combat. He didn’t unleash the true powers of the Icicles River Carp. He already suffered a quick defeat before he could use many of the skills.
“If I didn’t remember it wrong, the most powerful move of Zheng Qing and the Icicles River Carp is their Joint Combo—Cracking Icicles River.
“In his combat before this, Zheng Qing has been gaining victories with skill and ease, withholding his full power. If he had used that Joint Combo today, I would have gotten a chance to widen my horizons.”
Lin Yingxue and Lin Xiaoxiao sang the same tune, behaving as if they were on-screen partners in a show.
Chen An broke out in a sweat. Joint Combo? What was a Joint Combo?
Cracking Icicles River… He recalled reading this as one of the skills in the Full Beast Taming System when he had launched it previously.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know what a Joint Combo is?” Lin Xiaoxiao held her forehead and sighed. “I thought I had encountered a brilliant Beast Tamer. Unexpectedly, you’re a moron.”
