Chapter 10: The Beastmaster Association

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a thousand years of development, the system of beastmasters could be said to be very complete. As such, there weren’t so many twists and turns.

All he needed to do was have Little Moon follow a specialist to the training room to test her physical fitness and skills, confirm her bloodline, and check if the beastmaster’s familiar space met the requirements.

There were two reasons for checking the beastmaster’s inventory. The first was to record the beastmaster’s spatial attribute, and the second was to prevent people from claiming it under false pretenses.

In the past, there had been people who had done so before, bringing a familiar with an ordinary bloodline to be verified without awakening their beastmaster’s spatial attribute. As they had used the registration method previously, allowing the beastmaster to register his own beastmaster’s own spatial attribute, he had almost succeeded.

It couldn’t be helped. The basic benefits of becoming a beastmaster were indeed very attractive. If he didn’t awaken it at the age of eighteen, he would never be able to awaken it. It was equivalent to being lower than others forever.

Therefore, it wasn’t hard to figure out why someone would take such a risk.

Fortunately, a legendary beastmaster happened to come to the association to settle some matters at the time. He could tell with a single glance that the kid hadn’t awakened his familiar space, and was thus exposed.

As for whether or not someone had done such a thing before, it was very difficult to find out. After all, in the entire Blue Planet, there were only a few who couldn’t become a beastmaster. On the contrary, most of them were beastmasters, but those who had familiars were in the minority.

After Zhang Xuan told Little Moon that she didn’t need to use Frostmoon Storm, he let her follow a person into the training room. One reason was that this skill used up a lot of energy, so it wasn’t necessary to use it for a certification. Another reason was that its mutation might attract unnecessary attention.

Little Moon’s look when she turned back at him made Zhang Xuan smile bitterly. He advised, “It’ll be quick, don’t worry. It’ll be finished in no time. Listen to the old grandpa, alright?”

After the message was sent, Little Moon walked into the training room.

“Your familiar is pretty good. It’s rare to see one that’s so close to its beastmaster. Can I ask for some tips?” a beastmaster at the side came over and asked.

Zhang Xuan smiled. “Sure, it’s the power of love. ”

“Nonsense …” The beastmaster rolled his eyes. The relationship between beastmasters and their familiars was a cooperative one. When there was no food, who would care if you liked it or not?

Zhang Xuan just smiled and didn’t say anything. To be honest, it was up to him to believe or not.

Meanwhile, the assessment went smoothly. Little Moon’s physical strength was indeed much stronger than other transcendent familiars of the same age.

“It looks like she’s only two months old, but she’s already a bronze level 5. I haven’t seen one reach level 5 in two months.”

“That’s right. The Wind Blade’s strength isn’t bad, either. It’s about thirty percent stronger than ordinary Silver Moon wolves. I wonder how the beastmaster raised it.”

“Maybe the familiar materials used are better? It’s the pay-to-win route.”

The staff in charge of the assessment were amazed by Little Moon’s performance. However, although they were a little surprised, a beast with a transcendent bloodline was considered pretty good among the ordinary beastmasters. To those who had seen it many times, it was just a few claps of admiration, and didn’t cause much of a stir.

For a Silver Moon Wolf like Little Moon, if the beastmaster didn’t take the initiative to check its attributes, they would usually assume it to be of the wind attribute by default. That was because this breed was just like that, an ordinary breed that was neither high nor low among transcendents.

However, if they saw Little Moon use Frostmoon Storm, their expressions might be different. A familiar with two attributes and could learn skills on its own was very likely to break through the shackles of its own bloodline.

At that time, it would not be as simple as becoming a transcendent. It was just that the probability was pitifully small. Not only was the chance of mutation small, but the success rate of breaking through the bloodline shackles was also pitifully small.

After a series of operations, Zhang Xuan became an apprentice beastmaster. He still needed a few days to get his beastmaster certification.

It was a pity. After all, he wanted to accept some missions immediately and let Little Moon experience some simple actual combat. After all, only real combat could temper the wildness of a familiar, and a familiar with wildness was a true familiar.

At the moment, Little Moon was wild, but not that wild.

She started to feel at a loss after a few steps away from him. She was the type who was tyrannical at home. This wouldn’t do. It was a waste of her strength.

“Eh? Zhang Xuan, you’re here to register as a beastmaster too?” a mature voice sounded. Zhang Xuan turned around and saw his classmates.

The person was called Li Youhu. He was wearing an exquisite and loose beastmaster long robe, but it couldn’t hide his beast-like burly figure. His golden hair added a sense of righteousness to his might. When he saw Zhang Xuan, he was a little happy and walked over with a wave of his hand.

A few students followed behind him. When they saw Zhang Xuan, they only nodded their heads in surprise. They didn’t expect Zhang Xuan to successfully contract a familiar.

Everyone knew that Zhang Xuan’s family wasn’t very well-off. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left school for a part-time job while attending theory classes. However, they didn’t expect that even someone like him would be able to contract a familiar.

Different from the high schools in his previous life, the high schools in the beast-taming world had two years of basic theory classes. After passing the assessment, one could start to contract a familiar on their own, and through actual combat, temper their combat power.

Actually, it wasn’t their fault for being surprised. Zhang Xuan was just too dazzling. In the two years of theory classes, he had gotten full marks every time. He was a well-deserved top student.

“You guys scored 100 points because you can only score 100 points. Zhang Xuan scored 100 points because the full score is only 100 points.”

Just listen, these words hurt. However, after the theory class ended, Zhang Xuan was still unable to form a contract with his familiar. Just like now, there were only a few months left until the college entrance exam.

Everyone thought that Zhang Xuan was hopeless, which was both a pity and a good thing. Unfortunately, such a genius was like a shooting star that disappeared in a flash. They didn’t need to compete with geniuses.

Could it be that Zhang Xuan had given up on the possibility of the future and only contracted a familiar with an ordinary bloodline? That would be such a pity.

They turned their gaze to Zhang Xuan’s familiar, and then…

“F*ck! Is that a Silver Moon Wolf?” one of the students exclaimed, and what he said caught the attention of the others.

“It’s really a Silver Moon Wolf. Judging by the color of its fur, it seems to be high-quality!”

They couldn’t maintain the calmness on their faces, and they all came up and clicked their tongues in wonder.

“You little brat, not bad! You’re going to make a fortune quietly!” Li Youhu laughed and patted Zhang Xuan’s shoulder. “You got yourself a transcendent familiar!” This was his personality. When he saw that the people around him were good, he would be happy from the bottom of his heart, like a little sun.

Although Zhang Xuan wasn’t really close to him, he could only put on a fake professional smile. “I just got lucky.”

“I also want to have that luck.” One of the students sighed.

“Alright, alright, stop being envious. You guys already have familiars.” Seeing that everyone had gathered around, Li Youhu waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse.”Time is of the essence. I’m going on a mission.”

Li Youhu was the leader of a small team of beastmasters in his class. He was quite talented. Just like the students behind him, he had graduated early and contracted a familiar. Now, the entire team had passed their internship period and had become official beastmasters.

The leader’s words were inspiring. Even though they kept looking back at Little Moon, they still walked to the announcement board.

“Ah, by the way…” Li Youhu suddenly turned around and stared at Zhang Xuan with a burning gaze. “Zhang Xuan, since you’ve become a beastmaster, don’t forget to take the monthly examination next month. I’m looking forward to fighting with a genius. This is what youth should be like! Ahahahahaha!”

After he finished speaking, he strode over and joined the team.

Looking at that fellow’s back that was like a bear, Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and smirked. “He’s like an ogre. He must be ugly when he cries.”
