Chapter 149 - An Opportunity to Contract with a New Beast
"Ye Xuan."
He heard Lin Shiru's beautiful voice on the phone. "I heard about what happened at Jiangzhou University. Thank you."
"Ms. Lin, didn't you tell me earlier that I would be representing Jiangzhou University outside?"
Ye Xuan smiled instantly.
"You remember that."
Lin Shiru's voice was gentle and joyful.
She seemed to be in a good mood, not affected by Jiangzhou University's split at all.
He felt she seemed to be happy from the bottom of her heart about Ye Yuanming and others' leaving Jiangzhou University, just like Ye Xuan and other students, and seemed to get relieved, too.
As a result, she was not speaking to Ye Xuan very formally, like what she used to do. She did not sound like she was speaking to a student as a teacher.
It was more like a chitchat between friends.
"Ye Xuan, it will probably take me more time here before I can go back. You should master the Calamity of Fire and Wind during this period."
"There will be an opportunity in a few days. I will let Ms. Ren Ya take you there to see whether you can get it and contract with a new great beast."
"An opportunity to contract with a new beast? What is that?"
Ye Xuan wondered.
"I can't tell you anything now. There is a Non-disclosure Agreement. When it's time, if you can get it for real, you will also be asked to sign a Non-disclosure Agreement before you go there."
Lin Shiru said on the phone.
"This is so mysterious."
Ye Xuan said in surprise.
If a Non-disclosure Agreement was involved, that place was probably not under Jiangzhou University's control but belonged to the Xia.
Ye Xuan had no clue. He wondered what place could be so mysterious.
As a result, curiosity was piqued in him.
"Ms. Lin, in that case, you can already come back from the Abysmal of Darkness, cuz I'm not sure whether I can contract with that Obscurus."
"Did Ms. Ren Ya already tell you?"
Lin Shiru said after a pause, "Anyways, don't worry about me. I am not like the others. I have a trump card that can keep me safe. I won't run into any danger in the Abysmal of Darkness."
"Speaking of that Obscurus, I saw it once, but I didn't find any opportunity to catch it."
"I will seek a chance to find it again and capture it."
"Besides, I also found it seemed to be going through a mutation, and the mutation would end very soon."
"I asked the King of Shadow about it not long ago. According to him, once its mutation is a success, it will level up to the Silver level immediately, and its star level won't go down."
"A beast like this is precious. It will be perfect for you to get used to the Bronze level."
Lin Shiru could not stop talking once she started to talk about that Obscurus.
She seemed to be excited about finding an Obscurus in mutation and evolution.
He knew he would not be able to talk Lin Shiru out of this, so he gave up.
Then Lin Shiru and Ye Xuan chitchatted a little more before they finally hung up.
It was quite different from before because she always came straight to the point when she called Ye Xuan, and as soon as she finished what she wanted to say, she would hang up immediately.
An idea occurred to Ye Xuan when Lin Shiru had hung up. He entered Lin Shiru's phone number in the chat app.
Then he found Lin Shiru's screen name: A poetry about poetry.
He saw Lin Shiru's screen name along with the profile photo of hers below the name, which should be from many years ago. In the photo, she was cupping her chin in her hands, looking into the distance expectantly.
Ye Xuan gazed at it for a while and then tried to add her.
He took some time to think about what message he should leave her when requesting her new friend. In the end, he wrote, "your most handsome student."
He only had Lin Shiru's phone number before.
Later, not long after Ye Xuan had sent his friend request, a message came.
It said his friend request had been accepted.
Ye Xuan was happy and even a little excited. He opened Lin Shiru's Stories in the app.
Then he saw only one post in Lin Shiru's Stories.
She posted it only not long ago.
"Take off all the shackles/ Like a kite on a broken string/ Flying towards/ That blue passionate sky/ Either fall into pieces/ Or reach thousands of miles away."
Except for this one, there was nothing more.
It seemed Lin Shiru had not posted anything for a long time.
Ye Xuan liked the post after reading it. Then, after pondering for a while, he posted what Lin Shoucheng had said not long ago: Complete sincerity can affect even metal and stone.
After all, he had just been Lin Shiru's friend. He should take it slowly.
After doing all this, he put the cell phone aside and took a stroll in the room, cooling down slowly. Then he started to recite the general principles of the Calamity of Fire and Wind in his mind.
As to the chit group, Fang Lan and others had drawn him in; he did not say anything in it.
They regarded him as a Prince Charming, so he should behave like a Prince Charming.
He would like to be a little cold and let those girls see him as their idol.
...
"Ye Xuan, you killed again."
Not long after Ye Xuan's return, Su Yunmeng and Ye Guotao came back in a hurry.
Things had gone too far this time. They were right at Jiangzhou University. It was impossible for them not to hear anything.
"Yep."
Ye Xuan nodded. "Mom, Dad, don't worry. It's some guy from the Eternal Night Clan that died. I'm safe and sound, not even injured."
"I know. I know."
Su Yunmeng nodded. Unlike last time, she did not blame Ye Xuan. Instead, she only told him repeatedly, "Don't act on impulse next time. There are so many people at Jiangzhou University. Even if the sky collapses, some taller ones will come forward to push it up. You don't need to take the lead."
She could not figure it out. Ye Xuan joined Jiangzhou University only a few days ago. How would he have been involved in such a mess?
It was said on the Internet that it was manslaughter.
That it was an accident.
However, of course, it was not just manslaughter. Even she, a total nobody, could guess something.
Seeing Su Yunmeng so disturbed, Ye Xuan felt guilty.
However, he had already been on that path.
His talent would not allow him to be an average person.
And under such circ.u.mstances, where all clans were competing against each other, you certainly would be targeted if you wanted to be something.
So, he had no other choice than to keep going. There was no coming back for him.
Whoever stood in his way.
He would throw his knife over.
There was nothing like mercy on this path.
"Mom, Dad."
As he thought, Ye Xuan said, "I will leave Jiangzhou University a few days later to contract with a new beast. I don't know yet how many days I will be away."
"To contract with a new beast?"
Nodding, Su Yunmeng said, "Okay, we got it. From now on, focus on the cultivation."
She really wanted Ye Xuan to be increasingly stronger at the moment.
Ye Xuan nodded.
Then he shifted the topic. He started to talk about the snack shop Su Yunmeng and Ye Guotao was going to open.
According to Su Yunmeng and Ye Guotao, they could not open the snack shop right away.
Instead, they wanted to wait until the new semester officially started, when the freshmen started school.
...
"Tribulation of the world, Kalpa of Fire, Kalpa arises with the wind, and ends when the flames extinguish..."
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Two days later, Ye Xuan suddenly got enlightened while reciting the general principles of the Calamity of Fire and Wind silently in his room.
He extended his hand, and his right pinkie shot a livid beam of light out.
In an instant, that beam of light flew out of the villa and fell from the sky in front of the Tempest Alpaca eating grasses.
It cut the grass in the Tempest Alpaca's mouth in halves.
"Done."
A joy flashed across Ye Xuan's eyes.
What he had just exerted was the Calamity Force of Wind of the Calamity of Fire and Wind.
However, this Calamity Force of Wind would only have a little power when used to attack.
As he estimated, it could only be used to deal with some weaker monsters on the Dark Iron level.
The main usage of this Calamity Force of Wind was to aid him or his beasts.
And his or his beasts' speed would increase.
"Anyways, I am a little stronger in some way."
Ye Xuan shook his head.
He wondered when had finished cultivating the Calamity of Fire and Wind and made the force transform to the Calamity Force of Wind and Fire, how much its power would increase.
According to the method, this method would have some transformation.
Although beasts were the only thing Ye Xuan relied on on a fight, it would not harm if he could protect himself better.
Besides, since this method was the method of the most precious Mind Energy of Jiangzhou University, he supposed the effect would be wonderful when he had finished cultivating it and used it to aid his beasts.
Then Ye Xuan took out his phone to check his message for Qi Liangcai, which was sent not long ago. However, Qi Liangcai had not replied.
That made him frown. He wondered whether Qi Liangcai had leveled up to the Silver level successfully.
Ring...
When Ye Xuan was thinking about that, he suddenly found someone was calling him on the phone. Then he found it was Ms. Ren Ya.
He guessed what it was for.
Joy showed up on his face.
"Ye Xuan."
Then he took the call and heard Ren Ya's voice on the phone. "Lin Shiru should have told you a few days ago that I would take you to seek an opportunity."
"That's right."
Ye Xuan said on the phone, "Ms. Lin did mention it to me."
"Well, come to the school gate of Jiangzhou University then. I will be waiting for you here."
Ren Ya said quickly.
"Okay. I'll be on my way now."
Ye Xuan replied. After sending a message to his parents, he let Lil Wan take him out of the villa in a hurry.
By then, more than two days passed, and Lil Wan already leveled up to the high Dark Iron level from the intermediate Dark Iron level after taking the precious evolutionary resources he had bought her.
In addition to that, the Tyrannosaurus had been improving even faster.
By leveling up to the high Dark Iron level, it caught up to Lil Wan in only two days.
Although such improvements would not help Ye Xuan's combat power a lot, they made his Beast Tamer level move up.
In addition to that.
He had got the fifty thousand Merit Points Lin Shoucheng had promised him for killing the young man from the Eternal Night Clan.
And they became 250 thousand after being expanded fivefold.
As a result, Ye Xuan did something extravagant once again.
He purchased an evolutionary resource called Thunder Liquid for the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings.
Each drop of that Thunder Liquid cost one hundred thousand Merit Points.
He bought as many as three drops.
When those three drops of Thunder Liquid had been consumed, it would be even easy-peasy for the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings to level up to the peak Bronze level.
And it would only take it half a month to achieve that.
