Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 137 Far away and so close
"But boss, your profile shows that you are a dragon." Flame Dog said in astonishment. The boss's appearance is slightly different from the dragon opposite, but you can tell it's a dragon at first glance, okay?
Boss, don't think you can be fooled just because he has no education.

"Then it's up to you." Seeing that he couldn't explain it clearly to this idiot, Zhong Cong couldn't help but sigh.

His eyes returned to the stage, and he saw that the golden earth dragon had walked up and was competing with the Mountain Bull King in strength.

The Mountain Bull King's pair of giant horns hit the Golden Earth Dragon's huge arms. The two sides were evenly matched at the beginning, but as the Golden Earth Dragon began to exert its strength.

Soon the Mountain Bull King showed signs of exhaustion and was pushed to the side of the pen. It was of no use even though his hooves were digging up smoke.

"Boss, this guy is so strong." The Fire Dog said in surprise when he saw it. He used his claws to push the other party away by the bull's horns. His strength was really incredible.

As expected, he is from the dragon clan like the boss, so powerful.

"It's just so-so." Zhong Cong said while yawning in boredom.

With this little bit of strength, I'm barely able to carry manure, but I'm totally not qualified to fight him.

"Beautiful lady, why don't you let your Groudon go up and give it a try?"

Just as Zhong Cong and Yan Wangquan were chatting, a group of people came over and said with a smile.

"Grawoman doesn't have such an idea for the time being, so we'll just watch the fun from here."

Xu Tingting looked at the group of people who suddenly came over and smiled politely, leaning towards Zhong Cong.

When Zhong Cong, who was talking to the barking dog, noticed this, he couldn't help but look at the stranger in front of him.

He is very tall and strong, with a rough accent, and doesn't look like a local.

What are these guys planning to do by suddenly coming over here?

When several people saw Zhong Cong's eyes scanning them, they couldn't help but push back and let the short-haired girl among them come forward:

"Hello! Don't be nervous, Xu Tingting."

"We are beastmasters from the north. We traveled to Lava City this time to challenge the famous local beastmasters and obtain the Lava Badge recognized by the Lava City Beastmaster Association."

"I don't mean any harm, so please don't worry."

"So you guys came here to challenge Tingting?"

Jiang Xiaoyun, who was standing by, asked after hearing this.

Since we are looking for a famous beastmaster in Lava City? Unfortunately, Tingting is a very famous one.

"Not really. We have already witnessed Xu Tingting's strength in the hills and forests, so we have no intention of challenging her. This time we came here just to make friends with Xu Tingting."

"Yes, it's great to be able to communicate with outstanding people of the same generation. It's also one of the purposes of our trip."

The few people who heard this explained with a smile.

Xu Tingting's strength is obvious to all. She does not need a challenge and everyone knows that she deserves the championship title.

"If that's the case, let's go somewhere else and chat. I'm also curious about traveling."

After listening to what several people said, Xu Tingting spoke.

Traveling while getting badges and recognition from local associations is the life she has always longed for.

And if the other party had no ill intentions and just wanted to make friends with her? She also wanted to make more friends.

"Then let's go to the Beast Tamer Teahouse nearby." The short-haired girl said with a smile. When they came here just now, they happened to see a very large teahouse nearby, which was perfect for them to chat.

"sure."

Xu Tingting nodded, and the group walked towards that direction.

"Boss, these guys suddenly came over here, they couldn't have any intention, right? Should we be careful?" The Barking Flame Dog said as he glanced at the group of people vigilantly.

"Don't be so nervous. This is the city area, and they haven't released any beasts."

"If they really fight, they will definitely die faster than us." Zhong Cong waved his paw indifferently and followed.

If he didn't release the beast, he didn't know whether these guys were too confident or really had no ill intentions.

"That makes sense." After hearing this, Yanwang Dog nodded his head.

What the boss said does make sense. For guys like these who don't have a beast tamer around, he can kill a large number of them with just one claw.

"You came from the north, how many association badges have you collected now?" Xu Tingting asked curiously after sitting down in the teahouse.

They came all the way from the north and must have challenged many associations. I wonder how many badges they have now?
"Not many, just over thirty."

"Some of the association's beastmasters are too strong to take down the badge."

"Yes, there are great people everywhere. We have learned a lot along the way."

After hearing this, several people answered, glancing at Zhong Cong from time to time, their eyes full of amazement.

What a Groudon! It looks no different from other earth dragons, but it has such strong strength.

"More than thirty badges? That's amazing." Xu Tingting said in surprise.

More than thirty badges, that means we have successfully challenged and won more than thirty associations in different regions.

This also indirectly proves that their strength is not simple.

"It's nothing. If you were to challenge like Xu Tingting, you would definitely get more badges than us."

"Yes, your Groudon is too strong. There is no opponent in the King level."

A few of them laughed and started chatting with Xu Tingting and the others about what they had seen and heard during their trip.

The short-haired girl came to the front of the Flame Dog, looked at him and said:
"Big dog, you are good-looking. Do you understand what I am saying?"

"Of course I understand. I'm not deaf." The barking dog nodded when he heard that. Then he saw the short-haired girl in front of him took out a big bone and shook it, saying, "Good dog, how about letting me touch your paw? I've never seen a dog as beautiful as you."

"Logically it shouldn't be allowed, but since you praised my beauty, I'll do it reluctantly. It's not because you gave me the bone that I let you touch it." The barking dog stared at the bone, drooling and muttering, and stretched out his paw.

This made Zhong Cong speechless. He realized that this dog was not only greedy but also spineless.

"By the way, Tingting, who is the beastmaster that your Lava City Beastmaster Association is challenging? Do you know who it is?"

After the topic was almost finished, Wang Ye asked.

They are going to challenge the Beastmaster Association soon, but they don’t know which Beastmaster the Lava City Beastmaster Association will fight against?
"I'm not too sure about this, because I just joined the association this month, but I can ask for you." After hearing this, Xu Tingting thought about it and found that she seemed to know nothing about this matter.

"The last Battle Beast Tamer of Lava City was a senior from our previous class, but I heard that he went traveling this year, so the Battle Beast Tamer position is vacant." Jiang Xiaoyun on the side heard this and said, "But the association should announce it soon. This position in the Beast Tamer Association of each region cannot be vacant."

As he said that, he looked at Xu Tingting.

"Uh, Xiaoyun, why are you staring at me like that? You're making me a little nervous." Xu Tingting, who was being stared at, said a little nervously.

"Tingting, don't you think it's strange that the president of the Lava City Association contacted you at this time? It just so happens that this year is the time when your senior brother is leaving." Jiang Xiaoyun looked at Xu Tingting and said.

"That doesn't mean I'll be the opposing beastmaster of the Lava City Beastmaster Association, right? I'm just participating in the association's internal competition. The president never said I'd take on this position, and I'm just a newcomer. There are many other beastmasters in the association." Xu Tingting said.

"That's not necessarily true. If the Lava City Beast Tamer Association doesn't want anyone to get the Lava Badge, then it's possible that they'll allow you to be a combat beast tamer."

"Yes, considering your strength, it would be very difficult for us to get the badge if we met you."

"Yes, we have already encountered several regions where the Beast Tamers of the Beast Tamer Association have battled with extremely powerful Beast Tamers."

Upon hearing this, the seven people from Kitano rubbed their chins and spoke, all thinking that what Jiang Xiaoyun said was very likely.

"How about I call the president and ask?" After hearing what they said, Xu Tingting felt a little unsure, so she took out her cell phone and said.

"Sure, go ahead."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Xu Tingting dialed the president's number.

"What's wrong, Tingting? Is there something you want to talk to me about? Has Groudon run out of the ingredients to eat? Then you have to wait a while. The resources sent by the headquarters will not arrive until next month." The president who received Xu Tingting's call spoke, sighing in his heart that Professor Wang really did not lie to him.

The reason why Groudon is so strong is all because of the materials it relies on. How can it not be strong if it eats these materials?
"I'm not here to ask for materials, President. You misunderstood me. I want to ask who is the current Beast Tamer in Lava City?" Xu Tingting explained with a slight blush on her face.

It was so embarrassing. She turned on the speakerphone so everyone could hear what the president said.

"Isn't this far away and yet so close at hand?" The president smiled and said, "As the best beastmaster in Lava City, of course it's you."

"Tingting, don't worry. Being a member of the association's battle beastmaster will not be a disadvantage. You will have priority in using all resources as long as they are available."

"Um, but you didn't tell me, President." Xu Tingting said with a wry smile after hearing this. She didn't expect that she would actually become a combat beastmaster of the Lava City Beastmaster Association.

"So, I'm telling you right now." Hearing this, the president smiled and said, "Why did you suddenly ask me about this today? Didn't your old principal mention it to you?"

"No, I just met a few friends who wanted to join the association." Xu Tingting said with a wry smile.

"Really? So that's how it is." The president immediately understood what he said and said with a smile:

"Then you can just give them the badges. Don't worry about hurting the relationship."

"But isn't the badge proof that the association recognizes a beastmaster?" Xu Tingting was stunned when she heard it. Just give it away? Wouldn't this be a bit out of line with the procedure?

"Yes, but this is just an external announcement. I don't know how many badges are issued every year, especially since anyone in our association can get one." The president said nonchalantly, "And it's just a bunch of alloy decorations. If you think they have reached the level, there's no problem in directly awarding them."

"Anyway, you're fighting a beastmaster now, so you can do whatever you want with the badge."
