199: A beastmaster from a top-tier school, dreaming of riding a dragon!
What good luck, at this critical juncture, to run into Fang Ran.
Wang Long looked at Fang Ran, his eyes filled with excitement.
It seemed he had found a long-lost opponent!
"I hope you can give me some pointers during the sparring tomorrow."
Wang Long's excitement was understandable.
Fang Ran was also very famous in the various academies.
There were even many Beast Tamer in quite a few academies who admired him.
And being able to spar with Fang Ran could not only train one's strength but also, if one happened to win, use the opportunity to become famous far and wide!
Just at this moment.
Several voices came from far away and grew closer.
"The Imperial Capital Academy isn't as powerful as I thought; no wonder they lost the previous few competitions!"
"Those third-year students, it's rare to even see any who have reached Transcendent Grade; when fighting them, I'm afraid my Big Bear might accidentally crush them to death."
"Naturally, Senior Lin and Senior Bai have both graduated. Now, the Imperial Capital Academy doesn't live up to its name. It's a pity we didn't see Fang Ran."
"Let's just go back earlier. Sparring here isn't as good as training in our own academies."
"Don't say that. At least tomorrow we'll have a match with those two sons of the Emperors."
Their words were filled with ease.
As if coming here was just a picnic.
However, they spoke very cautiously and didn't spread it widely.
It was just that Fang Ran's ears were exceptionally sharp, unlike ordinary people; even from a great distance, he could clearly hear the few people's words.
This was already the greatest respect the other party could give to the Imperial Capital Academy.
Or rather, it was the greatest respect given to Fang Ran and the two descendants of the Emperors!
"Wang Long, why are you here? You are... Fang Ran!"
"It really is you! Exactly the same as on the Beastmaster Association poster. Now, my sister even has your portrait pasted on her bedside!"
One of the female Beast Tamer looked very excited.
Fang Ran also didn't expect himself to be so famous!
So many people actually recognized him?
And facing the greetings from the few people, he naturally couldn't put on airs and responded to each one.
These people were all from first-tier academies, and they had reached Transcendent Grade Beast Tamer by their third year. To some extent, they were even more worth recruiting than Transcendent Grade Beast Tamer in society!
After all, being able to reach Transcendent Grade in the third year itself represented a certain message.
It could be said.
The major first-tier academies.
The Supernatural Beast Tamer among them were even not weaker than those in the Five Great Academies.
After all, their contracted Beasts had evolved for many years, and quite a few had been immersed in this field for a long time.
There were even Beast Tamer among them who were more powerful than the geniuses in the Special Training Camp.
But they stayed in the academies.
They had no intention of joining the Beastmaster Association, or their contribution points were insufficient.
And seeing this rumored genius was more approachable than they had imagined, their impression of him immediately improved significantly.
"Fang Beastmaster, actually, we have admired the Imperial Capital Academy for a long time."
"That's right, coming here to spar this time was also to see you. It's a good thing we didn't leave!"
If he hadn't just heard their conversation.
Fang Ran probably would have believed it.
But he still responded verbally, "Certainly, certainly!"
The few people chatted for a while. Not far away, Beast Tamer from the Imperial Capital with injuries were being helped up.
In sparring between Beasts, it was very common for both sides to get injured.
"Who told your Beast to be so heavy-handed? It was just sparring. Remember to properly apologize to them," Wang Long, who was leading, scolded.
"Certainly! Certainly!" A slightly plump Beast Tamer scratched his head, walked up to Fang Ran, and said, "Sorry, Fang Beastmaster."
Seeing this scene, Fang Ran widened his eyes.
Why apologize to me?
Did he find the wrong person?
Until those few people walked away.
The group of junior students from the Imperial Capital Academy only came to Fang Ran's side.
"Holy crap, Fang, these guys are too hypocritical!"
"Sigh, it was all the professors' bad ideas. Since Fang and the others weren't back, they pushed us up to take the fall!"
"Fang, whether we get revenge or not doesn't matter. It's sparring, and getting a little injured is unavoidable! But, we must win tomorrow, otherwise, they'll go back and widely publicize this matter again!"
"Exactly, we must regain face! Fang, you absolutely must not show mercy!"
"It would be best to beat their Beasts until they kneel and beg for mercy!"
The few people were filled with righteous indignation.
It seemed they had already transformed into Fang Ran's avatars.
And then, in the sparring match the next day, they thoroughly crushed those few people!
"Your hostility is too heavy. Regardless, we are all serving the Dragon Country."
"That's right, even if Fang doesn't make a move, it's understandable."
"With Fang's stature, he naturally wouldn't make them lose face in front of everyone."
Hearing these words, Fang Ran's mouth twitched slightly.
They even resorted to provocation tactics.
However, he wouldn't be affected.
When he should win, he would naturally win. When he should lose... he would only surrender to his own Beasts.
Night.
Returning to the villa at home.
"It's good that you're back!" Fang Qihua directly came forward to greet him.
Aunt, having believed Uncle's nonsense, was just continuously praising Fang Ran.
Until he was sent away.
Only then did Fang Qihua find Fang Ran and say, "Fang Ran, you can't be so reckless anymore in the future!"
"Your Aunt and I only have you as a nephew. If something happened to you, how could I explain it to your elder brother?"
"I know what I'm doing," Fang Ran replied.
"Nonsense! How many Beast Tamer geniuses were there before? Which one of them wasn't full of confidence in themselves? It's not the same; some died in the mouths of Fierce Beasts!"
Listening to Fang Qihua's words, Fang Ran knew he couldn't convince him.
So he could only promise that similar incidents would not happen again in the future.
Until half an hour later.
Only then did Uncle let him go.
"Master, have some water." Slime brought a cup full of hot tea, almost shoving it into Fang Ran's face.
This immediately gave Fang Ran a feeling of home in this world.
"Mm, good."
Fang Ran stroked its head twice.
This made Slime's heart feel a little warm.
Bringing tea and pouring water was the right thing to do!
"What I saw before, optimizing the evolution route..."
Thinking, his gaze fell upon the Green Snake curled up beside him.
[Advance, materials that can optimize High Grade, Lord, and Transcendent Grade evolution routes!]
"Check High Grade."
As Fang Ran spoke.
Lines of evolution materials appeared before his eyes.
[Divine Iron Fish Scales, Ten Thousand Beasts Bloodline Herb, Pure Heart Grass, Calm Mind Grass, Stain Removal Fruit...]
The quantity of evolution materials required was even more than for Xiao Tian!
Besides a few forbidden materials, top-tier S-Grade materials, there were also a large number of medicinal liquids and herbs used to stabilize physical traits and calm the mind, the quantity was almost outrageously large!
[Soak in the Ten Thousand Beasts Herb... medicinal liquid, swallow after three days...]
The process was too complicated.
In fact, these materials were enough for hundreds, even thousands of Beasts to advance to high levels!
"However, all of this is worth it. Once it evolves into a dragon, I'll trick it into letting me ride it."
Fang Ran narrowed his eyes.
The Green Snake's heart was alert, and a bad premonition emerged.
