The principal, Rex, was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

“Boy, you’re full of surprises! The school’s equipment can’t even determine your real level!”

“Are you saying that I blew up the school’s Monster Trainer Testing Equipment?” Gu Ning asked.

Rex nodded. “The testing machine in our middle school is useless now. We’ll have to get the technicians to fix it. Otherwise, our third-year students won’t be able to graduate.”

Gu Ning scratched his head. “But I haven’t tested my level yet. What should we do about the competition?”

“We won’t be able to test it today. Head home first. I’ll borrow some advanced equipment to test you again another day,” Rex said.

Seeing that, Gu Ning nodded and turned to go home.

When he got home, Gu Ning felt that he should discuss it with his contracted beast, Xiao Hong, who had become the Queen of the Red Dragons.

Thus, Gu Ning summoned Xiao Hong out. After a light circle flashed, Xiao Hong, who was still wearing a red dress and black silk, walked out of the light circle.

Although Xiao Hong had been like this for a long time, Gu Ning could not help getting excited every time he saw her hot figure and face.

The Red Dragon Queen looked at Gu Ning with a smile, “Hello Again, master. What can I do for you?”

“Yes,” Gu Ning nodded, “I need your help with something.”

“Help? You’re too kind, master! Do you think Xiao Hong only exists to be on your beck and call when you need help?” Xiao Hong pouted, crossing her arms and turning her head away.

Gu Ning apologized immediately, “Master, please don’t be angry.”

Xiao Hong squinted its eyes, then smiled brightly. “Haha, Ha! Xiao Hong was just teasing you! How could Xiao Hong be angry at you?”

Gu Ning let out a sigh of relief. He told Xiao Hong about his trip to the principal’s office and the fact that the principal, Rex, had asked him to represent Blue middle school in the school competition.

“So you want Xiao Hong to appear as a beast in the school competition and help you defeat the students from other schools?” The Red Dragon Queen asked.

Gu ning nodded, “Yes. Xiao Hong, you’ve been in the realm of Gods for 100,000 years, and you’ve reached the level of a God! Wouldn’t defeating their contracted beasts be child’s play?”

Hearing that, the red dragon queen said helplessly, “But Xiao Hong can’t appear in the form of a beast in this world.”

The red dragon queen explained, “Because Xiao Hong is too powerful, the appearance of a god-level contracted beast will disturb the order of things. Xiao Hong will be punished by the realm.”

Gu Ning was surprised, “How could that happen?”

Gu Ning never expected such restrictions to have been placed upon Xiao Hong.

However, Gu Ning had already promised the principal, Rex. He asked Xiao Hong, “I’m going to take part in the college test in a few days. Is there any way?”

“Xiao Hong can’t reveal her true form…” The red dragon queen thought for a while, then said, “Master, why don’t you get another contracted beast?”

“A second contracted beast?” Gu Ning was shocked. A few days ago, he wouldn’t have thought about it at all. He hurriedly said, “A second contracted beast needs me to at least be a D-grade, but I’m only an F-grade monster trainer!”

“Who said you’re only an F-grade monster trainer?” Xiao Hong asked back.

“You mean…”

“Because Master’s contracted beast, Xiao Hong, has reached the maximum level in a foreign world, your current level is already many times higher than your peers.”

The red dragon queen explained calmly, “It’s not difficult to form a second contracted beast. With Xiao Hong’s help, master can even form a third or fourth one very soon.”

“Three or four contract beasts…”

Gu Ning was excited just thinking about it. But soon, he came back to reality. He asked the red dragon queen,

“But I don’t know how to find a second contract beast. I received you from the Federation.”

“There are two kinds of beasts that the federation gives to students for free. One kind are the artificial beasts that they cultivate on their own. The others are wild beasts outside the federation base.”

The red dragon queen explained, “In fact, Xiao Hong isn’t an artificial familiar that was bred by the federation’s scientists. Instead, I’m the descendant of the famous Red Dragon.”

“It’s just that Xiao Hong’s kind are very weak when they young. When the hunters captured me, they saw that Xiao Hong was just an ordinary snake, so they gave it to me for free as a defective product.”

Gu Ning suddenly understood, “Xiao Hong, you were a fierce beast outside the base. No wonder you’ve become so powerful now. You’ve even evolved from a dragon to a real red dragon and became a Queen!”

The red dragon queen nodded and continued, “The beasts bred by the federation are 100% defective. Therefore, master’s second beast must be captured from outside the base!”

“But I’m not familiar with the wild. I don’t even know where fierce beasts will appear.” Gu Ning scratched his head.

The red dragon queen assured Gu Ning, “Just now, when we were talking, Xiao Hong had already used her god-level perception to find a good candidate for master’s familiar.”

“The target is in the Ice Lake Mountain Range 500 kilometers north of the Federation base. There is a familiar with a good appearance and talent there. Xiao Hong thinks it should be suitable for master.”

Gu Ning was willing to trust the red dragon queen’s judgment, but he had never been out of the base before.

However, after seeing the reassuring smile of the Red Dragon Queen, the hesitation disappeared.

“500 kilometers. It seems that I have to ask for a leave from school,” Gu Ning said.

Then, Gu Ning took out his phone and called the principal, Rex.

“Taking a leave? But Gu Ning, the competition between colleges will start soon. Don’t you think you should finish your personal test and training before you think about anything else?” Rex answered.

Gu Ning could only assure Rex, “Don’t worry, Principal. I’ll be back before the competition. I’ll help Blue Middle School get a good place in this competition!”

Rex had no reason to refuse Gu Ning, so he agreed.

Gu Ning started to make preparations. He rented a motorcycle, took all kinds of precautions, and brought some snacks along the way. Then he left the federal base.

Gu Ning, who had been driving 500 kilometers north, could feel the weather getting colder and colder.

The red dragon queen in Gu Ning’s body explained that many fierce beasts of the ice element lived in the ice pond mountain range. Over time, the fierce beasts had drained the heat from the environment.

Soon, Gu Ning came across the smell of fireworks. He came to a small town under the Ice Lake Mountain Range.
