“Chen Nan, wake up!”
“He has heatstroke! Spread out to improve the air circulation!”
“Hurry up and call the teacher over!”
Anxious and concerned voices could be heard from the surroundings.
What was all the noise?
Where was he?
Chen Nan, who had fainted on the ground, slowly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the crowd surrounding him.
“Disperse!” At this moment, a cold female voice was heard and the crowd surrounding Chen Nan immediately dispersed.
A woman in a tight black dress and high heels walked to Chen Nan’s side and squatted down. Xie Yunqing was the teacher in charge of the talent awakening ceremony. She looked at Chen Nan, who had already opened his eyes, and asked, “Are you alright? Do you need the school doctor?”
Chen Nan supported himself up with his hands and sat as he looked around. Just as he was about to answer Xie Yunqing, who was standing in front of him and asking him questions out of concern, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He could not help but cover his head with his hands and shake it.
“Chen Nan? Hurry, call the school doctor!” Xie Yunqing shouted anxiously when she saw the situation.
The surrounding students also became anxious and ran in the direction of the school.
However, right at this moment, Chen Nan slowly put his hands down. He looked at the unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar faces around him with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He wasn’t from this world but a transmigrator. He had transmigrated to this world into the body of a person with the same name as him.
In his previous life, he had died in a car accident while driving in a rainstorm. On the other hand, the original owner of this body had died because of heatstroke due to him standing under the sun in the school’s field for the Beastmaster talent awakening ceremony for too long and hadn’t been treated in time. That was why Chen Nan had been able to take over his body.
According to the original owner’s memories, there had been a change in this world hundreds of years ago.
On a certain day hundreds of years ago, the world shook, and spiritual energy was restored. For a time, all the animals and plants in the world had undergone a change.
The originally docile animals had all become vicious beasts that harmed humans, and the same went for the plants.
The vicious beasts were constantly evolving and upgrading, expanding in kinds and strangeness.
All vicious beasts had attack attributes, namely the wood, water, fire, ice, lightning, wind, light, poison, and spatial attributes.
They were also distinguished into different ranks, namely the ordinary, fine, superior, exquisite, war, god, and warlord ranks.
As the vicious beasts raged, the humans were instantly placed in jeopardy.
It was at this moment that some humans finally discovered that they could sign a contract with the vicious beasts, and the subdued beast would help its Master to attack the vicious beasts.
A profession was thus born, and that was… Beastmaster!
Everyone wanted to become a Beastmaster and own subdued beasts!
However, not everyone could be a Beastmaster!
Humans had to participate in a talent awakening ceremony to know if they had the qualifications to become a Beastmaster. Only when one’s talent reached 200 would one be qualified to become a Beastmaster.
After obtaining the qualifications, one could sign a contract with a vicious beast, making the vicious beast one’s subdued beast. The subdued beast could then help the Beastmaster attack other vicious beasts.
With the passage of time, several hundred years had passed. The world had already become a new era for humans, with the subdued beast as the main force against the vicious beasts.
The world had now entered an era where Beastmasters were King!
“Chen Nan?!!” Looking at the dazed Chen Nan, Xie Yunqing couldn’t help but raise her voice.
Hearing her voice, Chen Nan finally came back to his senses. He looked at his classmates and teachers, who were all anxious and worried, and said guiltily, “I’m sorry to have made you worry. I’m fine.”
Seeing that Chen Nan had finally recovered, Xie Yunqing immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She asked with concern again, “Are you really fine?”
“I’m fine,” Chen Nan looked at Xie Yunqing and nodded, saying firmly.
Xie Yunqing stared at him for quite a while until she confirmed that he was truly fine. Then, she said to the students around, “Let’s continue with the talent awakening ceremony!”
After saying that, she walked to the high platform and continued to assist the students in the Beastmaster talent awakening ceremony.
Chen Nan followed Xie Yunqing’s footsteps to the high platform.
On the high platform was a transparent white pillar with a white button on it.
When one placed their hand on the button, the pillar below would change color. If the color changed to gold, it proved that one had the qualifications to become a Beastmaster. However, if the color changed to gray, it proved that one didn’t have the qualifications.
“Next! Chen Nan!” Xie Yunqing’s voice brought Chen Nan back to his senses in an instant.
Seeing that everyone around him was staring at him, Chen Nan hurriedly walked up to the high platform.
“Just place your hand on top,” Xie Yunqing patiently instructed him.
Chen Nan looked at the pillar in front of him, and slowly placed his hand on the white button.
The color on the pillar flashed rapidly, and soon, it stopped at a certain spot. A resplendent golden light instantly shone on the entire square.
After seeing the color on the pillar, Xie Yunqing announced, “You’ve passed the test! A random vicious beast egg will be awarded.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a golden vicious beast egg appeared quietly on the table next to the pillar.
This was a vicious beast egg that only Beastmasters who passed the test could obtain. They had to incubate the egg according to Xie Yunqing’s instructions in the square, then form a contract with the incubated vicious beast, making the beast their subdued beast.
“Next! Qing Yunshi!” Xie Yunqing’s voice rang out once more.
Chen Nan took the vicious beast egg and walked down the stage, returning to his original position.
His surroundings were filled with students holding onto their vicious beast egg with looks of anticipation. If one wanted to become a true Beastmaster, passing the test alone wasn’t enough. One had to incubate the vicious beast egg and form a contract with the vicious beast. Only then could one be considered a true Beastmaster!
Not long after, the 1,000 students present had completed the test. Each of them held a vicious beast egg in their hands as they waited for Xie Yunqing’s guidance since they didn’t know how to hatch the vicious beast eggs.
Xie Yunqing looked at these prospective beastmasters with expectant looks on their faces. She said slowly, “Place the vicious beast egg on the ground and let them feel the spiritual energy of the world. In five minutes, the vicious beast egg will crack and hatch into your subdued beasts.”
Upon hearing Xie Yunqing’s words, the students eagerly put their vicious beast eggs on the ground.
Five minutes later, the eggs of Chen Nan’s classmates had already hatched, and some of them had even successfully contracted their respective subdued beasts.
At this time, the vicious beast egg on the ground before Chen Nan made a sound. The sound of “kacha kacha” entered Chen Nan’s ears. He immediately looked at the vicious beast egg on the ground.
Following that, with a “pata” sound, a vicious beast came out from the egg.
Chen Nan looked at the appearance of the vicious beast and the corner of his mouth twitched. To think his vicious beast was a little turkey!!
Looking at the vicious beast of others, it was either a wolf, a hunting dog, or a bear. Why was his vicious beast a young turkey?!
This was one of the weakest vicious beasts in this world! It was ranked at the bottom of the food chain of vicious beasts!
At this moment, a voice sounded in Chen Nan’s mind.
[Ding! The strongest evolution system has been successfully activated!]
A cheat!
Chen Nan, who had read many novels, knew that his cheat was here!
[The host is rewarded with the newbie gift package, thus obtaining a chance to evolve a vicious beast once.]
Chen Nan was delighted when he heard the system say that.
