Chapter 311 — A New Skill for Shi Yi
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 4 of 7
High above the icefield, en route to the Ancient Capital, two white divine dragons soared, each bearing two riders.
Both wore panda suits. The difference was that the young man wore black trousers, while the girl, besides a loose white short-sleeve shirt, wore a black skirt adorned with a panda tail.
"Still getting used to it?"
Shi Tang asked Lin Zhuo beside her.
"It's thrilling." Sister Xiong Qi sat atop the Third Prince of Shenyuan City, materialized by Chongchong, her small face flushed red as she gazed ahead.
This time, traveling from the icefield to the Ancient Capital, Shi Jin hadn't chosen to fly. Instead, just as when he'd gone to the neighboring Binhai City before, he crossed the wilderness directly.
Accompanying him to the Ancient Capital and then the Magic Capital this time was Lin Zhuo. In her words, she couldn't miss the chance to pitch Iron-eating Beast and Green Cotton Worm packages to contestants who lost at the national tournament.
After this tournament ended, the Iron-eating Beast and Green Cotton Worm would surely see another surge in popularity.
Having personally witnessed Eleven's evolution and knowing Eleven possessed an energy value in the millions, Lin Zhuo was quite confident in Jue's strength.
Moreover, she had participated in Eleven's rearing during its juvenile stage and its awakening of the royal bloodline. Her expectations for how far Eleven could go in the national tournament were even greater than Shi Yu's.
Before long.
The two crossed the wilderness directly, arriving at the mountain range that Ancient Capital University had cleared for student training, and entered the university from there.
"Holy crap."
"Damn, what is that?"
The Ancient Capital University students training in the mountains looked up at the two white divine dragons streaking overhead, their eyes wide as if they'd seen a ghost.
After arriving at Ancient Capital University, Lin Zhuo chose to visit her teacher and see the three little Iron-eating Beasts at the Iron-eating Beast Research Institute. These three, now branded with the "Thought Stamp," had become the university's "campus mascots." Though they hadn't yet become national treasures, they had first become the university's "school treasures."
Ancient Capital University had decided these three Iron-eating Beasts would not be gifted or contracted to students. With the university's resources, they would be raised for life, just as the university had kept a bunch of cats a century ago — purely as a campus symbol.
Besides, who said pandas weren't cats? Ha.
It was something of an old tradition at Ancient Capital University.
The main reason was that these three pandas were extremely self-disciplined, training on their own every day, setting a leading example. If even Iron-eating Beasts worked so hard, why shouldn't students?
Originally, the beast-eared senior had wanted to contract one of the three, but later she changed her mind, planning to wait for a royal Iron-eating Beast — a royal one like Eleven. A method to help royal Iron-eating Beasts awaken their bloodline had now been found, and in the time to come, royal Iron-eating Beasts would likely appear one after another.
Bai Xi had long since made an agreement with Lin Zhuo on this. Even Lu Yan had reserved a royal Iron-eating Beast from Lin Zhuo.
...
At Ancient Capital University, Shi Jin first found Feng Jin and got the Burning Gold from him.
Then he went to find the Gem Cat.
The reason he hadn't gone straight to the Magic Capital but came to the Ancient Capital first was that Shi Jin intended to collect the Gem Cat's treasure vault.
After returning last time, the Gem Cat had gone straight into seclusion at Ancient Capital University. Shi Jin suspected it was avoiding him.
But you can't dodge it forever. He had seen the list of resources in the Gem Cat's vault. A promise was a promise — not a single resource could be missing...
