Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger-Chapter 149 - 122: He Is the Sea God’s Pillar of the Association!
October 1st, Tuesday.
Weather: Clear.
Chen Yuan opened his eyes and got out of bed briskly, after a quick wash, he saw Cola lying on the carpet and Spark standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, and couldn’t help but recall last night’s events.
He was sleeping soundly, when the hotel front desk called, saying that his two Pet Beasts had escaped.
With a face full of confusion, Chen Yuan realized Spark and Cola were missing.
When he went to the front desk to retrieve the two little ones, he finally understood the reason—they wanted to stay in shape through training to secure victory, but ended up being stopped by the diligent security while sneaking out.
Chen Yuan was amused and helpless: "No need for this, just train well on usual days."
"This kind of last-minute effort is not good; rather than training, it’s better to rest well."
"Besides, it’s not necessary to strive for victory, we can just enjoy the process of confrontation."
Thoughts flashed by, Chen Yuan lightly coughed, and Cola, who was lying listlessly on the carpet, instantly raised its head, while Spark, resting, opened its eyes quickly, and even the Twin Flower Concubine hiding in the pocket poked its little head out.
Chen Yuan’s lips curved into a smile, he waved his hand: "Let’s go!!!"
"Woo woo woo!"
Cola instantly became excited, swiftly got up, and rushed to the front to open the room door.
Spark spread its wings, slowly landing on Chen Yuan’s shoulder.
The Twin Flower Concubine blinked its pale pink eyes, opening its petal-like hands towards Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan understood, extending his index finger towards the Twin Flower Concubine, which immediately hugged it tightly, then slowly lifted, allowing the Twin Flower Concubine to sit on the right shoulder.
"Let’s go!"
Leaving the hotel, Chen Yuan walked directly to the sports hall, two hundred meters away.
Though it was eight in the morning, the outside of the sports hall was crowded with people, the noisy chatter of the crowd along with the cries of Pet Beasts mixed together, causing Chen Yuan to wrinkle his brow.
Due to too many people and Pet Beasts, Chen Yuan had to retract Spark and Cola back into their Pet Beast spaces, also letting the Twin Flower Concubine hide in the pocket.
He walked straight towards the temporarily reconstructed staff passage, where a familiar figure was already waving at him at the entrance.
"Zhou!"
"Advisor Chen." Outside, one must use their job title, Zhou Xu called directly, "Come quickly inside with me."
As they walked through the long staff passage, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but ask: "Zhou, what do I need to do?"
Zhou Xu chuckled: "I’ll take you to the lounge to wait. Just wait to get on stage; no need to do anything else."
"Okay." Hearing that the procedure was not complicated, Chen Yuan nodded.
Once he arrived at the lounge, more and more spectators were entering the sports hall.
Until almost 9 o’clock,
Banners fluttered, white doves soared.
The Baokun City Sports Hall was bustling with heads, completely occupied.
Among the two thousand spectators present, were over a thousand Beastmasters participating, representatives from various fields in Baokun City, ordinary people, and so on.
As contestants, Yang Yue and Li Qing were already sitting in the audience seats, the former looking around at the crowd, couldn’t help but lament: "It’s been a long time since I saw so many people in Baokun City at once."
She looked ahead, suddenly spotting a familiar figure, quickly elbowing Li Qing’s arm, waiting for the latter to look up, she quickly lowered her voice: "I heard Zhuang Jianbai and their class went to Qinling for training these few days, precisely where we went last time."
"I heard from classmates that their experience was miserable, even chased by those Violent Cloud Sparrows for three mountains."
But as the words fell, the two seem to have remembered some unpleasant memories, and their faces slightly changed.
Yang Yue quickly changed the subject: "Do you know if he will come to participate?"
"Him?" Li Qing turned her head, beneath her long bangs were eyes full of inquiry.
Yang Yue explained: "The farm owner, his Pet Beasts are so strong, he will surely participate in the competition."
"If during the competition, encountering him..." Speaking this, Yang Yue quickly shook her head: "Forget it, I’d rather pray not to meet him, I don’t want to be eliminated early."
Li Qing smiled lightly.
Zhuang Jianbai didn’t know he was being discussed by two girls; at this time, he was frowning, closing his eyes, trying his best to recuperate.
Because this competition was organized by the Baokun City Beastmaster Association, only Beastmasters registered in Baokun City could participate, so his classmates all gradually left, only Jiang Yuntao worried about his psychological state, specially stayed to accompany him.
Even resting with closed eyes, when Zhuang Jianbai recalled the words he heard yesterday morning, he was still somewhat dazed.
In his view, the immensely powerful Earth Bear wasn’t at all an opponent for that person...
Though he hadn’t seen that Beastmaster in person yet, Zhuang Jianbai had long regarded him as the most formidable rival since becoming a Beastmaster.
Jiang Yuntao lightly patted Zhuang Jianbai’s shoulder, softly encouraged: "Face your Heart Demon, and then conquer the Heart Demon."
"He certainly left yesterday to participate in the competition; with his strength, he will surely stand at the end."
"In front of tens of thousands of spectators, defeat him."
Zhuang Jianbai remained silent, only nodding continuously.
At precisely nine o’clock, the first Taibai Cup of Baokun City’s Beastmaster Competition finally commenced.
This Taibai Cup will be broadcasted throughout, with multiple camera setups, several cameras ready.
Baokun City’s senior officials, the Beastmaster Association’s senior officials took turns speaking on stage, taking up most of the opening ceremony content.
As the president of the Baokun City Beastmaster Association, Wang Jianping was the last to appear. He scanned the room, smiled slightly: "Next, I’ll speak briefly..."
