You Will Become a Legend

The storms brewing online did not affect Jiang Xing's daily life.

After waking up, he did not rush to begin a new project. Instead, he took Little Qilin, Little Dragon, and Little Xiao Chi around some of Magic City's attractions, giving himself a proper chance to relax—

After the shift in the worldline, this city's attractions had also changed drastically, adding many Beast Tamer elements.

A certain legal department's amusement park had become Electric Mouse Theme Park. Not only did it have all kinds of Pet Beast-themed rides, but visitors could also see many distinctive Ornamental Pet Beasts from other regions. It was extremely eye-catching.

The Beast Tamer Museum displayed ancient Beast Tamer tools, as well as relics of otherworldly civilizations excavated from Secret Realms.

Then there was the most iconic Pearl of Xia Kingdom. It was said that when it was built, a mysterious Light Type Divine Beast had descended and bestowed a blessing upon it, granting it impregnable defenses.

It had therefore become the highest-level Battle Tower, frequently hosting all kinds of battle tournaments. If someone won enough matches and climbed to the top, they could even receive Light's Blessing.

It was said that if anyone with ill intentions approached it, it would release beams of light and transform into the Light Prism Tower to strike them down.

Mm. After hearing the tour guide finish the story, Jiang Xing hurriedly put away his Snow King Milk Tea.

All in all, touring Magic City had truly broadened Jiang Xing's horizons.

"Traveling often and experiencing the customs of different places is quite interesting too."

Though he thought that, Jiang Xing did not stay sightseeing for long.

Several projects were still waiting for him to begin, the Pet Beasts at the research institute needed care, and even Li Lingyin was about to start school—

The first year of middle school was the most crucial year for a Beast Tamer.

Beast Tamer Schools started their terms early for intensive Beast Tamer training. Later, they arranged for students to travel to different cities, challenge peers from other places, participate in all kinds of competitions, and more. Their schedules were packed.

Jiang Xing was still counting on Li Lingyin to win a Champion title. He could not let her studies be delayed.

So, after finishing their trip, they set off back to Yuzhong City.

Before leaving, he had specifically paid Master Jian a visit, expressing his wish to learn craftsman knowledge and his desire to tame a Craftsman Dog.

The former was not a problem. Master Jian copied Jian Guoguo's study materials and sent them to Jiang Xing, telling him to study them at his own pace. If he had time, he could also come to Jian's Craftsman House for lessons.

But a Craftsman Dog was impossible.

This kind of Pet Beast came from the Treasure Casting Valley Secret Realm. Its source was controlled by the Four Great Craftsman Families and managed extremely strictly.

Even Master Jian's direct disciples had to enter the Secret Realm and form contracts with them before they could take them out of Treasure Casting Valley.

Moreover, these Pet Beasts were rather proud by nature. They would only acknowledge Beast Tamers with craftsman abilities and agree to become their assistants.

Jiang Xing had never come into contact with craftsman techniques. Even if Master Jian found a way to send him into the Secret Realm, he would not be able to form a contract.

He could only give up on the idea for now and learn craftsman knowledge first.

As tuition, Jiang Xing left Jian Guoguo some Water Dragon Cubes.

After some experimentation, he had figured out that these were the Energy Cubes most suitable for the growth of Golden-Veined Koi. They helped them accumulate power and grow into dragons.

When Li Lingyin saw Jian Guoguo accept the cubes, she smiled and spoke.

"Once school starts, I'll apply to participate in competitions here in Magic City... Guoguo, let's settle the score again then!"

"...Mm!" Jian Guoguo nodded seriously.

Next time, she would not lose!

Watching the two little girls interact, Jiang Xing and Master Jian could not help but smile.

This was youth.

After leaving Jian's Craftsman House, Jiang Xing took Li Lingyin to the airport and flew back to Yuzhong City. He then sent her back to Shuntian Breeding Farm.

Li Lingyin stood at the entrance to Shuntian Breeding Farm, hesitating for a moment.

In a child's world, time always passed slowly.

Throughout the entire summer vacation, she had stayed by Jiang Xing's side and experienced many things. Now that it was time to part, all her reluctance flooded out at once.

Unable to hold it back, she rushed over, hugging Little Qilin first, then Little Dragon.

Finally, she walked over to Jiang Xing, lowered the brim of her hat, and hid her reddened eyes.

"Teacher, when I grow up, can I still stay by your side as your assistant?"

"No."

Jiang Xing raised a hand and patted the top of her hat—

It was not because of a system mission. Rather, through their time together, he had clearly learned that compared to quietly settling down for research, Li Lingyin preferred Beast Tamer battles. The hot blood of a warrior flowed through her veins.

What she said now was merely reluctance brought on by their parting.

Keeping her at his side as an assistant would be what truly held her back.

"Let me tell you a secret."

Li Lingyin raised her head in confusion, revealing her reddened eyes.

Jiang Xing spoke.

"I can see a Beast Tamer's potential... You were born to fight. In the future, you will defeat countless powerful Beast Tamers and become a true legend."

"You have your own path. Of course you cannot remain confined to a tiny research institute."

Hearing Jiang Xing's words, Li Lingyin let out a snort of laughter.

She wiped the corners of her eyes and asked,

"Teacher, since you can see a Beast Tamer's potential, what about my dad?"

"Senior was born to make money. He will become immensely rich in the future."

Jiang Xing said it with complete seriousness.

"If you're short on money when raising Pet Beasts in the future, you can go make him drop some gold... Just don't tell him your teacher was the one who said it."

Li Lingyin could not help laughing. The melancholy atmosphere vanished without a trace.

She collected herself, bid Jiang Xing farewell, and walked toward the breeding farm.

When she reached the entrance, she stopped again, turned around, and called out to her teacher.

"Teacher, I will definitely become a Legendary Beast Tamer!"

Jiang Xing smiled and waved.

"Do your best."

After seeing off his little assistant, Jiang Xing rode back to the research institute.

When he approached the forest surrounding the institute, Little Dragon and Little Qilin could no longer hold themselves back. They leaped straight out of the car and flew toward the research institute.

"Ahli!!" We're home!

"Mumu~" Little dragons, your king has returned!

Little Qilin had been away too long and missed the days at the research institute, where cubes of every flavor were supplied without limit.

Little Dragon, meanwhile, had completely treated the area around the research institute as its territory. Now that the dragon had returned to its homeland, it began patrolling its domain—

It was Jiang Xing's only contracted Pet Beast ≈ Jiang Xing was its exclusive Beast Tamer ≈ Jiang Xing's territory was its territory.

Mm, the logic was flawless.

However, when they passed through the forest, what met their eyes was not a quiet, peaceful research institute.

Instead, there was a group of Hairless Ugly Chickens sprinting wildly, followed by Pet Beasts of every color relentlessly chasing them and unleashing all kinds of attacks, as well as Clay Puppets moving among the group, constantly suppressing the Pet Beasts as they tried to bring the situation under control.

Rumble!!

Amid the billowing dust, the ugly chickens leaped up in terror one after another.

"...Mumu?!" "...Ahli?!"

Little Qilin and Little Dragon stood there with blank expressions.

What was happening?
