247: The reward for the regional champion, the contracted green snake?

Imperial Capital Academy.

After saying goodbye to everyone.

Fang Ran returned to the principal's office at the Imperial Capital Academy with Shen Yun.

At this moment, a group of professors was waiting there.

"Fang Ran, you did well this time!" Principal Yun nodded.

"No, it would have been impossible for me to take first place on my own," Fang Ran said modestly.

Seeing him so humble, the professors also showed expressions of gratification.

"We were wrong about you. The National Beastmaster Competition should indeed be used to hone the young!"

"It's all over the internet now, you can be considered a big star!"

"Thanks to Fang Ran! He brought the popularity of this National Pet-Taming Competition to a new height!"

A competition watched by countless people.

It was also a good thing for the reputation of their Imperial Capital Academy!

And because of this, the professors' impression of Fang Ran had greatly improved!

"Fang Ran, since you won the regional preliminary championship, you are considered to have entered the top fifteen, and are qualified to receive resource supply from our Imperial Capital Academy."

"In addition, I will personally gift you some resources." Principal Yun smiled.

"Besides the 10 million scholarship support, there is also a brand new Evolution Method and recipe supply."

"And I will personally sponsor you with five holy crystals!"

Seeing that Fang Ran had no reaction, Principal Yun asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to ask what holy crystals are?"

"What are they?" Fang Ran pretended to be curious.

"They are the holy crystal of the Celestial God Clan, produced in the Holy Spring. They contain extremely vast Holy Power and are a resource that simply cannot be bought in the Dragon Country nowadays."

"With these five holy crystals, Xiao Tian should be able to advance to the Transcendent Mid-Stage, right?"

"Yes!" Fang Ran nodded.

He didn't expect the principal to guess Xiao Tian's realm so accurately.

"Having reached the Transcendent Mid-Stage, how much confidence do you have in this competition?" Principal Yun asked.

"Ten tenths!" Fang Ran's eyes brightened.

These words shocked the surrounding professors.

Arrogant, too arrogant, but they liked it!

"Good! Many people are watching this competition. If you can win, you will be qualified to go to the world's largest beast-taming academy!"

"Fang Ran... how old are you, and you can already go to the World Academy?!"

"Fang Ran isn't ready yet, right? He is only at the Early Stage Extraordinary."

The professors stood up excitedly.

World Academy, how long had it been since anyone from their Imperial Capital Academy had gone there?

Or rather, how long had it been since anyone from their Dragon Country had entered the World Academy!

If Fang Ran could go, they would have the confidence to brag to their peers in the future!

"Not yet, but with the resource support from the National Pet-Taming Competition, Fang Ran can still participate in the next World Tournament!"

Principal Yun smiled, seemingly very satisfied with Fang Ran.

It was just a pity that the admission requirements for the World Academy were harsh.

The minimum standard was the Transcendent Late Stage!

A moment later, Bai Lingshuang and several others arrived one after another.

Only Tie Jiuxin, who was training desperately in his family, did not come.

After some conversation, the Imperial Capital Academy distributed the scholarships and resources.

"Fang Ran, come here!"

Principal Yun took Fang Ran to a separate room.

Immediately, the Green Snake crawled out of Fang Ran's collar and coiled onto the chair.

"Fang Ran, you raised it well." Principal Yun nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, thanks to him."

Although the Green Snake didn't want to admit it, this was indeed the truth.

It had never been so confident before, and even internally believed that even a pure-blood Emperor was no match for it!

And this was without Fang Ran helping it change its Transcendent-level Evolution Method route!

"Fang Ran, actually I have a proposal."

"Please go ahead."

"You are currently at the Transcendent-level and already have enough to contract two pet beasts. If after the competition, both of your beasts reach the Transcendent Mid-Stage, your mental strength will be enough to contract the Green Snake again, and the chance of entering the World Academy will be even greater!"

After Principal Yun finished speaking, Fang Ran was a bit surprised and said:

"But I still have to wait until the King-level to contract Long Yu to help her restore her mental strength. Isn't that the top priority?"

"Looking at the big picture, that is indeed the case, but you don't need to sacrifice yourself. The Green Snake's performance is already stronger than the Dragon-Human Race." Principal Yun said solemnly.

"But Long Yu is not an ordinary Dragon-Human Race, she is..." The Green Snake stopped mid-sentence.

She was the direct blood relative of the Black Dragon King!

Her bloodline was far beyond what an ordinary Dragon-Human Race could compare to, and even stronger than many pure-blooded Dragon Clans!

"Fang Ran, what do you think? If you contract the Green Snake now, you will surely win the upcoming competition."

"It will even be beneficial for you to go to the World Academy later!"

"I won't force you. Your talent is far beyond my imagination, and you have your own unique insights into the evolution of pet beasts." Principal Yun responded silently.

"Of course I choose to continue strengthening my mental strength!"

Fang Ran looked solemn, but thought to himself:

I definitely want both!

If I contract the Green Snake directly, how can I get free resources?

If I can't get free resources, how can I improve my mental strength?

Besides... the Green Snake, even if I don't contract it, can't I still use it?

Hearing Fang Ran's answer, the professors present nodded as if they had expected it.

With a beast that has reached the King Late Stage and can be promoted to the Emperor-level, why would he choose a Transcendent Late Stage? Even if it's a gamble, it's better.

"It counts as you having a heart. Since you are willing to sacrifice for the country, I will fund it myself and provide you with professional mental strengthening resources!" Principal Yun nodded.

Hearing the conversation between the two, a flash of disappointment crossed the Green Snake's pupils, followed by a daze.

"No... what do I have to be disappointed about?"

"Wasn't Fang Ran not planning to contract me from the beginning?"

"Besides, isn't it what I said myself, that I wouldn't sign a contract with him? Even the principal doesn't know about this."

"Let's go! Xiao Qing!"

Fang Ran walked forward, grabbed it with his large hand, and pulled the Green Snake into his arms.

The helpless Green Snake could only shrink its body and hide in Fang Ran's clothes, angrily saying: "Who is Xiao Qing?"

"Then what is your name?" Fang Ran asked.

"I don't have a name."

The Green Snake said huffily.

"Then let's call you Xiao Qing from now on." Fang Ran smiled.

Later, I'll have Teacher Long Yu change her name to Bai Suzhen.

Wouldn't it be great to have them both?

No! Stop!

How could I have such thoughts!

Fang Ran frowned and hurriedly extinguished this spark.

On the way home, Fang Ran saw competition previews posted everywhere on the streets.

He even heard many people discussing him and Xiao Qing.

When he arrived home, Fang Ran greeted his aunt and uncle, and then went straight to the training room!

Not long after.

The 10 million transfer arrived in Fang Ran's account.

At the same time, an A-grade Evolution Method - Holy Wing Evolution Method was sent over!

As well as resources placed in two boxes, one of which was five holy crystals, and the other was five bottles of mental potion!

"The Holy Wing Evolution Method can improve the user's speed and reaction, it is the exclusive Evolution Method of the Angel Race!"

It seems Principal Yun really put his heart into it.

Such an Evolution Method is absolutely priceless!
