Ziyuan rubbed her eyes atop the city wall, making sure she had not seen wrong.
After praying to the sky...
A young man holding an Eevee fell from a flash of white light!
"No way..."
Ziyuan swallowed as she watched the falling figure.
He had clearly fallen from a tremendous height, yet this young man...?
In midair, the young man smoothly adjusted his posture with practiced ease, as though he had extensive experience in falling. There was not the slightest awkwardness to his movements.
A moment later, he landed on both feet with a bang.
Other than failing to hold onto Eevee and accidentally dropping it onto the ground, everything looked perfect.
That sequence deserved at least a ninety-nine. One point deducted for dropping Eevee.
Eevee: ?? Still, judging by Eevee's condition, it did not seem to have been hurt by the fall.
"Can someone like that still be considered human?"
"No, why would an unfamiliar Beast Tamer appear here?!"
Ziyuan's heart tightened as she remembered her duty.
She first glanced at the dopey Hippopotas dozing against the edge of the wall.
This was her beast. It might have been a little dim-witted, but it was a genuine extraordinary creature capable of controlling quicksand with Earth Power. Even armored humans were no match for it.
Sometimes, Ziyuan thought that being able to earn Hippopotas's friendship was truly fortunate...
"Wake up. Let's go down and take a look—"
Ziyuan patted Hippopotas with her hand. As it opened its eyes in confusion, she was already running down below.
"Wuu! Wuu!"
Seeing Ziyuan run off, Hippopotas snorted out a stream of sand. After shaking its head, it quickly followed her.
At the same time.
Outside the city walls.
Fang Yuan looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and said, "This shouldn't be in China, right?
