Promotion to Lecturer

Taming mythical beasts?

"That kid studies psychology under Ren Yisheng. Could it be that they've really applied psychology to studying alien beasts?"

"Everyone, is it possible that he used the Kunpeng Combat Technique, causing these frenzied beasts to become obedient?"

Can the Kunpeng Combat Technique make mythical beasts obedient?

"It's hard to say, after all, we haven't actually practiced it!"

"I heard Zhou Yueyan practiced it?"

"It seems she's practicing Crane Form Fist, she kept practicing that 'Crane Soaring Backward Flight, she almost knocked her head off!"

"Don't you guys think this might be a change in the alien beasts? Perhaps some alien beasts really can be domesticated normally?"

"Such low-probability events do exist; otherwise, why would he be so picky and only choose four?"

"If that's your point, then I think it's still related to the psychology of alien beasts!"

"The psychology of normal animals hasn't even become a discipline, so where does this 'psychology of exotic animals' come from!"

The inner circle of Western Capital is not small, but it's not particularly large either.

Zhang Xuezhou sold four tamed exotic beasts at the farmers' market. Regardless of the profit from the resale, many people discussed how the beasts were tamed and whether they could survive in a foreign land.

If all goes well, this will undoubtedly bring considerable benefits to gene research.

Compared to studying frozen alien carcasses or quickly extracting parts from alien bodies, studying living organisms over a long period of time is obviously more effective.

Otherwise, countries wouldn't have bothered to build laboratories in the ruins of Qin Meng.

Whether something is feasible or not can be determined by conducting on-site investigations or experiments.

"Wow, so many people!"

Having restored his Law Power to its peak condition and taken a Spirit-Forging Pill with him as a backup, Zhang Xuezhou was ready to make a big splash at the farmers' market today.

But he felt there were too many people at the farmers' market today; every stall was filled with people looking at the strange beasts.

He even spotted some acquaintances among them.

"Professor Qin!"

"Chirp!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved to Professor Qin Wenhan at a nearby stall, which made Qin Wenhan involuntarily make a bird-chirping sound before quickly returning the greeting.

"Little Zhang," Qin Wenhan quickly approached and whispered, "These past two days, everyone in the circle has been talking about you taming a strange beast, and some people are even saying you're studying the psychology of strange beasts. Is that true?"

Instead of guessing back and forth, Qin Wenhan felt that asking directly for verification was much simpler.

At his level, he wouldn't need to come to the farmers' market to select exotic beasts. Qin Wenhan wasn't engaged in genetic research either, but because he had some connection with Zhang Xuezhou, he was sent over to check on the situation.

"Beast psychology?"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a second or two, his mind racing, and then happily agreed.

The art of controlling beasts with intoxicating power needs a shield, and using psychology as a substitute is clearly a good approach.

"That's right, it's true," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "If we understand the psychology of these alien beasts, we can indeed communicate with them in a more amicable way, making them more obedient!"

"You've actually gotten into this area of psychology?"

Qin Wenhan's mouth opened slightly, feeling that few of the people Ren Yisheng led were normal.

For example, Ren Anran likes pseudo-psychology, Ren Wuyang hates psychology, and Zhang Xuezhou's research on psychology involves alien beasts. As for Wang Haoran, Qin Wenhan, Song Bu'er and others, let's not talk about them. Anyway, everyone's state is not very normal.

"Studying people and society is too difficult. I'm just messing around with it and trying to find something easy to get started with," Zhang Xuezhou said, waving his hands repeatedly.

"Is this easy to get started with?" Qin Wenhan asked curiously.

"It's so easy!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, then stood on tiptoe and peered into the alloy cage in the stall, trying to see what kind of strange beast was inside.

When he saw that it was a cold-blooded, strange serpent, his interest waned considerably.

Snakes were also within the scope of beast control, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't stand their slippery and cold bodies. The thought of the intimacy that might result from taming them made him lose interest.

"Unless I can resell it immediately after acquiring it, I won't tame this thing!"

Zhang Xuezhou murmured something to himself, and then turned around.

"Hey, don't go! Look at this viper, see if it's meant for us. If it is, I'm willing to add 500,000 to buy it!"

Zhang Xuezhou turned and left, which made the two lab personnel who were waiting there unable to contain themselves and they started calling out.

"A connection worth 500,000? Let me investigate!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuezhou immediately perked up.

"Everyone, make way for this student Zhang... Lecturer Zhang!"

The person who called out Zhang Xuezhou's name was Zhao Anbo. Zhao Anbo wasn't well-known in the Gene Fighting Technique circle, but he was quite accomplished in the genetic research circle and was particularly skilled in studying snake genes.

He then called Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou and gave him some good news in advance.

Zhang Xuezhou's thesis is somewhat rare, and coupled with Wang Haoran's recommendation, this increases Zhang Xuezhou's chances of being promoted to lecturer by three points.

Promotions without sufficient backing are undoubtedly subject to a waiting list. Only after certain Lineage- recommended members are satisfied can Zhang Xuezhou, an advanced student, be promoted to lecturer.

However, once the news of Zhang Xuezhou taming the beast spread within the community, and everyone was happy to see it happen, the review process was undoubtedly relaxed, and there was even a expedited approval process to avoid any negative consequences.

Zhao Anbo was one of the insiders and knew the news earlier than most people.

He cupped his hands in greeting, first offering his congratulations, before pointing to the strange beast, the viper, in the alloy cage.

"The danger of this viper lies in its venom, but when focusing on genetic research, its lightning strike ability and waist strength are excellent, which is exactly the direction of my current research," Zhao Anbo said sincerely. "If this viper can be properly raised for six months to a year, it will be of great benefit to our laboratory. Do you think this viper might be destined for you?"

The story of Zhang Xuezhou and the mythical beast had already spread throughout the circle, and everyone used the word "fate" when discussing and joking about it.

Zhao Anbo looked at Zhang Xuezhou with hope, clearly hoping that the Viper and Zhang Xuezhou would be destined to be together, and that he could then give Zhang Xuezhou a more docile Viper.

"Do you have a thin wire? I'll get a wire and poke it with it!"

The prerequisite for being destined to meet is to make the beast hate you, the stronger the hatred, the better.

Just like constantly whipping a horse when training it, Zhang Xuezhou followed suit and used a thin wire to do the same.

After all, this alloy cage for holding vipers is completely different from the alloy cages for holding reindeer; he couldn't even throw a stone in.

"Come here!"

After asking for a thin wire, Zhang Xuezhou poked and prodded the viper with it, eventually provoking its anger.

The moment its head was raised high, the viper pounced onto the alloy cage and spat venom at Zhang Xuezhou.

"This little thing's burst of speed is truly impossible to defend against!"

As Zhao Anbo said, Viper Strike's capabilities are indeed outstanding.

If traps are not used to catch the snakes, Zhang Xuezhou believes that ordinary people would be very likely to die if they encountered such vipers in the wild.

As long as there are no wounds and the venom does not infect the body, it will not have any effect on the human body.

He wiped the venom the viper had spat on his hand with a tissue, then continued his teasing without haste.

When the cold-blooded viper attacked him for the second time, Zhang Xuezhou's eyes flickered slightly, he muttered some incantations, and then began to chant the Beast Control Technique, which made him lose his mind.
