Chapter 12: Dual-winged Amber Dragon
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Alright!"
Like Ye Xuan, Lin Shiru also had a delighted expression on her face.
Those who could conjure two Beast Seeds while they were still at the Apprentice Level were true geniuses.
Now that Ye Xuan was joining their school, they just had to train him with dedication and effort over the next few years, let him lead a few other students in joining the Hundred Academy League a few years later, and then harvest the good results.
Then, by making Ye Xuan the face of the university, they would be a step closer to their former peak.
"The college entrance examination is in two months. However, you don't really have to worry about it. Your future lies a few years later, not two months from now."
Lin Shiru continued, "From now on, you are a student at Jiangzhou University. In the next two months, I'll be here as your tutor and will provide you with special training."
"So, you're my teacher now?"
Ye Xuan was surprised.
One must know that Lin Shiru was a teacher at Jiangzhou University.
For two full months, she would be at the university to conduct special training for him alone, which made him feel as if he was taking all the university's resources for himself.
"Despite your impeccable talents, you're very late in your awakening."
Lin Shiru shook her head and said, "Most Beast Tamers your age already awakened their talents two or three years ago."
"So, if you want to catch up with them, it's imperative that you don't waste even a second from now onwards."
"I understand!" Ye Xuan nodded heavily.
Jiangzhou University was going to provide him with lots of resources and training. Hence, it was only natural for them to make demands of him.
But to him, this was a matter of mutual benefit.
"Another thing," Lin Shiru continued. "I told you earlier that our university will do our best to assist you in finding a suitable beast. There is an opportunity for you to do so right now.
"In Yunhai City, there is a secret realm called the Amber Secret Realm. This secret realm is of a very low level, and it only opens once every six years."
"However, within it lives a unique beast, the Amber Dragon.
"This beast excels in close-range combat, and it can be used as a meat shield. It is very suitable for you at this moment.
"You still have a Beast Seed at the Apprentice level. If you're not thinking about getting another beast, you may venture to the Amber Secret Realm and try to form a contract with the four-star Amber Dragon.
"If you're not up to that, contracting another elf is also a pretty good choice."
Amber Dragon?
Ye Xuan was thrilled.
Earlier, he'd been thinking about how he could acquire a second beast that was suitable for him.
Unexpectedly, that opportunity had come.
"I'll go for the Amber Dragon!" Ye Xuan said.
"No problem," Lin Shiru said. "Beast Tamers usually don't keep the beasts they acquire during the early stages of their careers. After all, only a small number of beasts can be constantly upgraded.
"Thus, a four-star Amber Dragon is a pretty great choice for you.
"When you're promoted to the Dark Iron or Bronze Level, our academy will definitely strive to help you in finding a five-star beast."
"I get it." Ye Xuan nodded.
In this world, three-star beasts were already hard to come by.
And four-star beasts were starting to become very rare.
As for five-star beasts, they were as scarce as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
This was especially the case for Apprentice-Level beasts.
A Beast Tamer obtaining a five-star beast while at the Apprentice Level was practically unheard of.
"I still have one other thing to tell you," Lin Shiru said.
Seeing the look of anticipation on Ye Xuan's face, Lin Shiru shook her head and smiled. "You're not the only one going to the Amber Secret Realm this time.
"After all, the Amber Secret Realm is one of the secret realms of Yunhai City. For that reason, the Beast Tamers of Yunhai City's Beast Taming Class who haven't broken into the Dark Iron Level will also go in with you.
"Only Apprentice-Level Beast Tamers can enter the Amber Secret Realm. So, whether or not you can obtain the four-star Amber Dragon depends on you.
"Of course, even if you can't get yourself that four-star Amber Dragon, it won't be too much of an issue. We can still provide you with other opportunities."
"Oh…" Ye Xuan felt butterflies in his stomach.
However, he wasn't nervous.
On the contrary, his excitement had grown even stronger.
He had just become a Beast Tamer, and he really wanted to see what other Beast Tamers' beasts looked like.
"I understand. I'll try my best to get a higher-grade beast!"
As he said this, he didn't forget to sign his name on the contract in his hand.
Seeing Ye Xuan's expression, Lin Shiru secretly smiled.
It was true that five-star Apprentice-Level beasts were extremely uncommon.
But there was one hidden within Jiangzhou University.
Now that Ye Xuan had already signed a contract with the university, the five-star beast would soon be shipped to Yunhai City.
As for this trip to the Amber Secret Realm, it was merely a training exercise that she had arranged for Ye Xuan, who had just become a Beast Tamer.
This time, more than 60 students would enter the Amber Secret Realm together with Ye Xuan.
These 60 students would be entering the realm in groups.
Every time the Amber Secret Realm was opened, only one four-star Amber Dragon would be born.
Ye Xuan had just become a Beast Tamer, and he would be all by himself. How would he be able to form a contract with that high-grade Amber Dragon?
As for the lower-grade Amber Dragons... Every genius has their pride. She believed that Ye Xuan would be too prideful to opt for one.
As she thought about all this, she turned around and said to Nong Lejia, "Nong Lejia, the Amber Secret Realm will open soon. Take your junior to meet the other students, and then show him what an Amber Dragon's abilities are."
"Alright." Nong Lejia smiled. "Ye Xuan, let's go. I'll take you to meet your other classmates in the Beast Taming Class, and I'll also let you see what an Amber Dragon looks like."
What an Amber Dragon looks like?
Ye Xuan was puzzled.
The Amber Secret Realm would open once every six years. Could it be that there was an Amber Dragon in the Beast Taming Class right now?
Or was it that Nong Lejia wanted to show him like a picture or something.
With that in mind, he bid farewell to Lin Shiru and then walked out of the office with Nong Lejia.
"Ye Xuan, do you know what my first beast was?"
Nong Lejia led Ye Xuan all the way to the Beast Taming Class before suddenly turning around and hurling this question at him.
"Was your first beast the…"
Ye Xuan suddenly remembered that it was exactly six years ago that Nong Lejia had been admitted to Jiangzhou University.
"Your guess is correct. My first beast was the Amber Dragon, and it was a four-star Amber Dragon."
"Six years ago, this Amber Dragon was the thing that got me into Jiangzhou University!"
As he told all this to Ye Xuan, a smile appeared on his face. Next, he extended his hand, and the gemstone on the ring he was wearing emitted a ray of blue light.
Roar!
The next moment, accompanied by a dragon-like roar, a behemoth some six or seven meters in height appeared in front of them.
This behemoth had wings and resembled a Western dragon.
However, its body looked as if it had been cast from dazzling four-colored amber.
It looked extremely mighty.
Looking at the beast in front of him, Nong Lejia said proudly, "This is my first beast, the Dual-Winged Amber Dragon!"
