397: An imperial reception, a friendly exchange?

Bear Country.

The largest international airport.

Parked at the airport were not passenger planes, but birds and fowls several times larger than them!

These birds could maintain a maximum speed of 5000 kilometers per hour for long-duration flights, which was five times that of ordinary passenger planes, but their price was twenty to thirty times higher!

After all, even the first-class cabins had Lord-level Beast Tamer.

The business class even reached Transcendent-level Beast Tamer.

Their fuel costs alone were a significant expense.

"With so many people, Bear Country's international airport is almost full?"

From the back of a soaring bird in the sky, Fang Ran and the others looked down.

"Too many countries are transiting through Bear Country. It's not just us, but also the United States and other countries," Iron Dragon said quietly.

"We'll be landing soon. I estimate accommodation will be a problem for us," Old Hunter said.

They didn't know many Bear Country Beast Tamer.

Most had only met during friendly collaborations.

They could only hope that Fang Ran knew some Beast Tamer with a bit of influence to help them arrange lodging. Otherwise, how could several King-level Beast Tamer from Dragon Country possibly sleep on the streets?

A moment later, everyone landed at the airport.

Immediately, staff members came up with welcoming smiles.

"Sirs, you must be the Beast Tamer from Dragon Country, right?"

"I apologize, but your reservation was made too late. The surrounding five-star hotels are already fully booked."

The person's attitude was very respectful, leaving no room for complaint.

"I know, you don't need to worry about it," Iron Dragon said.

The group arrived at the exit.

They saw many people holding up signs.

Some Beast Tamer from smaller countries were bargaining with them.

"Fang Ran, the person you mentioned, you must have met him at the World Academy, right?"

Gao Jiuqiang turned his head and asked him.

He had offended so many people at the World Academy, Gao Jiuqiang highly doubted whether he would lead them to sleep under a bridge.

Probably not, right?

Just in case, Fang Ran had made several calls, inviting everyone he knew.

Just as Fang Ran was about to speak, his eyes were drawn to a jet-black sports car reflecting the sunlight.

"Vroom!"

The car stopped by the roadside.

Someone immediately recognized it.

"Is that... Nikola's family car?"

"Bear Country's Emperor Family, what are they doing here?"

"It looks like... they're here to pick someone up, aren't they?"

Many people widened their eyes, wanting to see who could be received by an Emperor Family.

The pale-skinned Nikola opened the car door, scanned his surroundings, and instantly locked onto Fang Ran.

"Fang Ran, you arrived quite quickly?" His eyes lit up.

Having witnessed Fang Ran's strength, he had long since put aside his prejudices and trained hard!

Now that Fang Ran was finally in Bear Country, he would definitely challenge him!

"Aren't you going to use an umbrella? The sun is so scorching," Fang Ran said.

He always felt that Nikola had just climbed out of his coffin and driven to pick him up.

It was already a miracle he hadn't burned up in the sudden sunlight.

"No need for an umbrella. I've already cleared out the villas under my family's name. I can invite everyone to stay for free," Nikola smiled and continued, "However, it's not entirely free. Fang Ran, you'll have to help me with something."

As he spoke, his gaze intently fixed on the young man in front of him.

However, at this very moment.

The crowd shrieked again.

"Another Emperor Family has arrived? It's Nova's family!"

"And Bear Country's tycoons! Oh my god, what is the identity of that Dragon Country person?!"

"He looks very familiar! Could it be Fang Ran from Dragon Country?!"

Many Beast Tamer from various nations looked shocked.

Nikola turned his head.

He saw the brown-haired, perfectly-figured Nova and Novich.

Fang Ran wasn't surprised that Novich came, but his relationship with Nova wasn't that deep.

"Perhaps... their families behind them decided it?"

Fang Ran had his answer.

"Brother, if you had told me earlier that you were coming to Bear Country, I would have made sure to arrange all the good stuff for you!"

"Fang Ran, it's been a long time since we parted ways at the World Academy, hasn't it?" Nova smiled slightly, her entire being exuding the aura of a superior.

Unlike at the World Academy.

These few people were all favored children of heaven in Bear Country.

The Old Hunter, Iron Dragon, and Gao Jiuqiang behind them were all stunned.

Even if they came, it would be impossible to receive such treatment!

This wasn't a matter of strength; those Emperor Families didn't value strength as much as they valued talent!

An experienced King-level Beast Master was not as worth recruiting as a genius who could become an Emperor-level Beast Master in the future!

"In their eyes, Fang Ran already has Emperor-level talent?" Gao Jiuqiang muttered to himself.

A moment later.

The vehicles carried the group away.

Only then did people take out their phones and continuously take pictures.

"Fang Ran from Dragon Country has arrived in Bear Country! He also plans to go to the Celestial God Clan!"

"Could it be that the Celestial God Clan's reward attracted him? Is he planning to participate in the Divine Selection?"

"Definitely! His fated beast is from the Angel Race. Maybe he can win a chance for Dragon Country in the Divine Selection!"

Everyone discussed animatedly.

Being protected by the Divine Clan would ensure safety when the gate opened!

Many Beast Tamer knew that above Emperor-level, there were also Heavenly Beast-level and Divine Beast Level!

These pieces of information had already been declassified for Beast Tamer like them; anyone with a little bit of a connection could find out, but more secretive information was out of reach.

The vehicles did not go directly to their accommodation.

It was still early in the day.

Instead, they went to Bear Country's largest academy, the Holy Federation Academy.

To have Fang Ran give a lecture to the Beast Tamer of the Holy Federation Academy.

It was fortunate.

Fang Ran had already prepared the relevant knowledge.

He was able to speak articulately and without error.

"Fang Beastmaster, may I ask what level you have reached now?" A student asked.

"Monarch Early-stage," Fang Ran replied without hesitation.

This immediately sparked discussion among the geniuses.

Monarch Early-stage at just over twenty years old!

At their age, they were still attending lectures, while the other person was already giving them!

"Only Monarch Early-stage?" Nikola was stunned.

Nova and Novich both looked a bit surprised.

After the world's revival, their beasts had all reached Monarch Mid-stage, and even those who hadn't had been promoted through resources.

However, Fang Ran was still only Monarch Early-stage?

This made Nikola and Nova a little disappointed.

They had originally wanted to regain some face... Being a level apart was too unfair!

"I want to see you spar with Senior Nikola!" A girl with dark golden hair exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes! Can you spar with Senior Nikola and Nova, and let us watch?"

"Consider it a practical exercise!"

Everyone spoke up.

This was all intentionally arranged by Nikola.

However... these students truly wanted to see the geniuses from the two countries spar!

They had long heard that Fang Ran's strength at the World Academy was extraordinary, and since they finally had a chance to meet, they certainly couldn't miss it!

"Let's just forget it. Fang Ran is already tired from coming here," Nikola hinted, canceling the plan.

What was the point of fighting when there was a level difference?

However, Fang Ran smiled faintly and said, "Alright!"
