Seeing this, a helpless smile appeared on Chen Nan’s face. He picked up his chopsticks and ate his food. After eating, he returned to his room to rest, while Chiyan followed him.

The next morning, Chen Nan packed up and brought Chiyan with him as he left. After walking for ten minutes, he arrived at the school and headed straight for the square. Although more than a thousand people had passed the test yesterday, few people could become Beastmasters.

Among the thousand people who had taken the test, only five hundred could become Beastmasters and form a contract with vicious beasts.

Chen Nan arrived at the square. The square, which had been crowded yesterday, was now very spacious. After reaching, Chen Nan looked at the number plate given to him by the guard and walked to his seat.

At the same time, the discussions in the surroundings suddenly became much quieter, but Chen Nan could still hear what they were saying.

“Did you all see what happened yesterday?”

“Yes, why did it happen?”

“It seems like someone hatched a very powerful vicious beast, which was why that phenomenon happened.”

“Is that so? How powerful is it?”

“Do you know the Vermillion Bird? Yesterday’s phenomenon was because a Beastmaster incubated a beast with the Vermillion Bird’s bloodline! And it was hatched by someone who had just awakened his Beastmaster talent!”

“What?!”

The surrounding Beastmasters who heard this were all shocked. They naturally knew about the combat power of beasts that had the Vermillion Bird’s bloodline, but if it had just been hatched yesterday, didn’t that mean the Beastmaster was one of them?!

They didn’t expect that among the five hundred of them, someone could hatch a vicious beast with the Vermillion Bird’s bloodline!

Chen Nan listened to their discussion and looked at Chiyan, who was sitting on the ground. Fortunately, Chiyan’s appearance didn’t change much. It only had a few more red feathers and its color was brighter.

Chiyan’s change could not be noticed as long as one did not scrutinize it.

“Comparing the vicious beast that was hatched yesterday to the vicious beast of that person next to us, it’s a clear contrast.”

Hearing this, everyone looked mockingly at Chiyan, who was standing beside Chen Nan’s feet.

“That’s right. Perhaps this is fate! If one’s fate is bad, nothing good will come by.”

“…”

They discussed animatedly, but Chen Nan’s expression didn’t change at all. Both figures they were talking about were Chen Nan, and both matters were true, so there was nothing for him to argue about. On the contrary, he was quite interested in hearing their tones and discussions.

Right at this moment, Xie Yunqing walked to the front of the lines and said to them, “From now on, I’m your class teacher, and you are all a team!”

Her words immediately caused a huge commotion.

They all understood what Xie Yunqing meant. It meant the five hundred Beastmasters were classmates in the same class.

“What?! A team?!”

“This is the first time I’ve seen more than five hundred people in a class. I don’t want to be in the same class as that certain someone! What if he drags us down?”

“That’s right! Look at that useless subdued beast of his! What bad luck!!”

Their discussion was not very loud, but Xie Yunqing could clearly hear their words. She immediately furrowed her brows and scolded loudly, “Quiet! ! Becoming a Beastmaster is already very good in itself. Vicious beasts that are weak can work harder later on to increase their combat power. Don’t discriminate among your classmates or even mock them!”

When these people heard Xie Yunqing’s words, they immediately stopped their discussions, but in their hearts, they were still filled with contempt for Chen Nan.

Why should they be the ones being scolded? Everything they said was the truth! Chen Nan’s contracted subdued beast was the weakest! In the future, he might even drag them down!

Their hearts were filled with displeasure towards Chen Nan. They believed that Chen Nan’s school should revoke his trial qualification!

“The school has plans to take you all out this afternoon to see the world and experience the Forest of Vicious Beasts. All of you should now go and make sufficient preparations,” Xie Yunqing looked around. No one spoke of the displeasure in their hearts, but they were still young. Whatever they were thinking would show on their faces. However, Xie Yunqing didn’t expose them. Instead, she talked about the school’s arrangements.

As soon as she finished speaking, excitement immediately appeared on the Beastmasters’faces. They hadn’t expected to go on a trial just the next day after they contracted their subdued beasts. They couldn’t wait to find out how strong their subdued beasts were!

Ever since they had contracted their vicious beasts yesterday, they only knew the attributes and levels of their subdued beasts. They didn’t know anything else.

Although they knew the level of the subdued beasts they had contracted, they didn’t know how strong their subdued beasts were. If their subdued beasts were very strong, wouldn’t they be invincible?!

Thinking of this, smiles appeared on their faces. They left the square excitedly and went back to make preparations for their subdued beasts.

Chen Nan also left the square with the team. However, just as he turned around, Xie Yunqing came behind him and called out to him, “Chen Nan, wait a moment.”

Hearing the voice, Chen Nan stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at Xie Yunqing and asked curiously, “Teacher, what’s the matter?”

Xie Yunqing glanced at Chiyan on the ground and replied, “You can choose not to participate in the trial this time. It’s not too late to wait until you’ve contracted another subdued beast before participating in the trial.”

She had seen everything that had happened yesterday. She also knew that the vicious beast that Chen Nan had hatched was the weakest. The Forest of Vicious Beasts was filled with danger. If he were to participate in the trial, he would probably not be able to withstand even a single blow.

Therefore, she suggested to Chen Nan that he could choose not to participate in the trial this time. It would not be too late to participate in the trial when he contracted stronger vicious beasts or when his subdued beast became stronger.

“Thank you for your good intentions, but I would still like to choose to participate in this trial,” Chen Nan followed Xie Yunqing’s line of sight to look at Chiyan. After hearing her suggestion, he replied without hesitation.

If his subdued beast hadn’t evolved, he might have considered Xie Yunqing’s suggestion to not participate in the trial for the time being and wait until he contracted a powerful subdued beast.

However, there were no ifs. Since Chen Nan’s subdued beast had successfully evolved, naturally, he wouldn’t choose to go to the trial the next time.

“Since you’re so insistent, the school won’t force you. Go back and make your preparations then,” Seeing Chen Nan’s determined expression, Xie Yunqing sighed and said.

Hearing this, Chen Nan said “thank you” to the teacher, then turned around and left the square.

Xie Yunqing stood at the same spot and watched Chen Nan’s back as he left. She only sighed when he disappeared out of sight, then she left the square as well.

Xie Yunqing didn’t expect Chen Nan to be so stubborn. Now she could only go back and discuss with the other teachers about what to do.

Chen Nan left the school and did not know where he should go. Right now, he had no money to spend and could not prepare anything. Moreover, with Chiyan’s current rank and level, it could more than enough deal with beasts below the exquisite rank!
