Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 162: All the banquets in the world come to an end
"Great! The volcano has revived. I don't have to travel far to practice anymore."

"Yes, yes, this is the best news this spring."

After the principal spread the news that the school was shaking because the volcano had revived.

The students who were anxious a second ago immediately became happy.

The reason why they came to the key university in Lava City was because they all had fire-type beasts, and the volcanic environment of Lava City was the favorite growth environment for fire-type beasts. But last year, the only volcano in the school went out, which made them depressed for a long time.

When they suddenly heard the news of the volcano's revival today, they naturally couldn't control their joy.

They immediately took their respective beasts to the volcano training ground to practice. When they arrived and looked at the situation in front of them, they were all stunned:

"By the way, when did the Volcano Training Ground become like this?"

"I'm not sure, but it should be fine given the situation."

After jumping onto the huge rock pillars, a student said in surprise as he felt the energy coming from below: "Staying on these rocks can absorb the abundant energy from the magma below. Moreover, the energy concentration in the volcanic training ground is several times higher than before. Now, even if we don't occupy a favorable position, we can easily enjoy the rich energy."

"Really? These pillars can be used in this way?" Upon hearing this, the other students immediately jumped up. After feeling the rich energy coming towards them, they couldn't help but say happily, "Great! With such abundant energy, if the beastmasters practice on them, it will definitely be more effective than practicing on other volcanoes."

"Yeah, I think I should be able to reserve this year's championship spot in advance."

"Come on, you still want to reserve the championship spot? Why don't you ask everyone if they agree?" said a companion at the side with a smile and scolding.

"Okay, stop chatting here and release the beasts quickly. We are not here to chat." Someone reminded them, and everyone stopped fighting and released the beasts.

"Oh my god, is this heaven? How can there be so much energy?"

"Yeah, I feel like I'm getting stronger quickly and will soon break through to the elite level."

The released beasts said in surprise, and quickly sat down to enjoy the abundant energy.

"This volcano training ground is really strange. How could it suddenly revive?"

The Flame Frost Two-Headed Snake tilted its head and looked at the volcano training ground and muttered.

I don’t understand why extinct volcanoes would revive again?

"Why do you care how he revived? Do you still want to practice? If you want to practice, then go there quickly." The Fire Dragon King said unhappily upon hearing this, and kicked the Flame Frost Two-Headed Snake into the sky.

"You...you have no moral principles."

The Flame Frost Two-Headed Snake, which was suddenly attacked, cursed loudly, and the whole snake turned into a parabola in the air and fell on the stone forest.

"What's the point of talking about martial ethics with a guy like you who keeps talking nonsense?" The Fire Dragon King said unhappily. He flapped his wings and flew into the sky, then found a good place to land in the volcano training ground.

In this way, the abundant energy is just convenient for him to practice. In fact, he has remained at the king level for a long time.

They have all been surpassed by the little guys in the past. If they don’t improve themselves, they will be left behind by the other side in a while.

At night, the volcano training ground released bright light, illuminating the entire school sky, as if announcing to everyone that he was resurrected.

Zhong Cong, lying on the open ground, looked at the bright light in the sky, yawned, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Reviving the volcano training ground finally put his mind at ease. Now he could finally sleep peacefully.

"Grador, do you want to eat?" The next afternoon, Xu Tingting pushed Zhong Cong and asked.

But Zhong Cong still didn't open his eyes to answer her. Seeing this, Xu Tingting could only shrug and leave.

"What's wrong? Tingting. Groudon didn't wake up?" Jiang Xiaoyun asked when he saw this.

"Yes, Groudon probably wants to sleep." Xu Tingting nodded and walked into the villa.

Groudon wants to sleep but can’t be woken up by calling him. It seems like we can only wait for Groudon to wake up on his own.

I hope Groudon doesn’t sleep too long, Xu Tingting thought.

But in the following months, Zhong Cong continued to sleep like this, and no matter how she shouted, it was useless.

Time passed quickly from spring to summer, and it was already the fourth month since Zhong Cong fell into sleep. During these four months, the school was peaceful and nothing major happened.

The Beast Tamers who challenged the Beast Tamer Association in Lava City were also successfully defeated with the help of Dark Pegasusmon and Crocodile.

As the summer vacation was almost over, Jiang Xiaoyun had already packed his bags.

"Tingting, I'm going to do my internship next."

"I'm afraid we won't see each other for a long time. Remember to come and see me when you are free." Jiang Xiaoyun said to Xu Tingting while carrying a lot of luggage. Behind her were groups of beast masters seeing off the Flame Dog.

"Second Master, please take care. We will tell the boss about your departure when he wakes up."

"Yes, Second in Command, please come back to school and visit us often when you are free. We will miss you."

The beast masters looked at the Fire Dog and said reluctantly.

"Don't worry, guys. I, the Dog Master, will definitely come back when I'm free." Looking at his many younger brothers, the Barking Flame Dog said.

"Then take care, Second Commander." Upon hearing this, the Beastmasters waved their hands and said.

"Yeah." The Flame Dog nodded when he heard that, and his eyes turned to Jiang Xiaoyun. At this time, Jiang Xiaoyun had almost finished talking to Xu Tingting, so he put his luggage into the storage bracelet, jumped on the back of the Flame Dog, and said goodbye to Xu Tingting.

Then, he walked farther and farther away from Xu Tingting's sight.

"Oh! It's so uncomfortable that I'm the only one left in the villa again. I don't know when Groudon will wake up." Xu Tingting sighed and walked back to the villa.

Every time the third year is about to begin, there are always many familiar classmates who leave the school and choose to adapt to the society in advance, and the new freshmen will fill the gap again, making the campus look not so empty.

On September 1st, the annual registration time for freshmen has arrived. This year, there seem to be many more freshmen coming to the key universities in Lava City than in previous years.

This made the president of Lava City's key university very happy. He looked at the roster of freshmen in his hand that was almost a book and smiled, "There are quite a lot of students this year. There are more than 4. This is several times more than the number of students who came last year."

Although Lava City's key university is a relatively famous school in the country, the number of applicants has always been small due to the frequent acid rain and volcanic ash floating here. However, this was not the case this year.

Because their school won the national college league championship, it attracted a lot of freshmen.

"Yes, Principal." The Dean of Studies nodded and said:

"Thanks to classmate Tingting for winning the championship last year, but what should we do this year?"

Last year, Groudon saved the day and helped the school to produce a top player. So what should we do this year? Who should we send to the National College League this year?
Groudon has already won the championship once, and now he is not qualified to go again.

"I get a headache just talking about this." Upon hearing this, the principal's good mood instantly disappeared. He scratched his head and said, "There are no good talents in the school? I don't want to be the last one this year and make a fool of myself."

"So far, we haven't seen any good talents." Director Chen shook his head and said, "Even if there are any, they are probably out there. It would take a lot of effort to find someone as talented as Tingting in her sophomore year."

After their junior year, students will leave school one after another to gain experience in preparation for their career advancement after graduation or to adapt to work in advance. They will not continue to stay in school, so they have no idea about the current strength of the students who are away.

Unless, they specifically call the students.

"What about Tingting's roommates? How are they doing now? I remember that the students in her dormitory are all very strong." Hearing this, the principal asked.

In last year's grade competition, students from Xu Tingting's dormitory took the top three places. It can be said that any one of them is an excellent beastmaster.

Hearing this, Director Chen shrugged and said:

"Jiang Xiaoyun applied to leave school for an internship in August. Fan Lingling went out to gain experience after the start of school this year, and Bai Xiaojuan went to travel in the north."

"It can be said that most of the people in their dormitory have left now. Only Xu Tingting is still in school, studying and serving as a combat beastmaster for the Lava City Beastmaster Association."

"So, is this competition going to be a failure?" Upon hearing this, the principal pulled out his few remaining hair in uncomfortably.

"Things haven't gotten that bad yet, Principal." Director Chen smiled and said, "I've contacted Bai Xiaojuan and Fan Lingling, and they should be back at school before the National College League starts."

"Really?" Hearing this, the principal said excitedly, "Do they have any idea of ​​participating in the National College League?"

"It's not very clear at the moment, but if we talk to them about providing them with resource support, I think they will help." Director Chen looked at the principal and said.

Anyway, he has already asked the person. As for whether he is willing to help, it depends on whether the principal is sincere.
After all, who can resist money?

"Okay, I know about this." The principal sighed when he heard this. It seems that it is impossible to preserve the honor of the school this time without paying a certain price.

Thinking of this, the principal couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

"Is this the teacher's dormitory area?"

"Yes, I heard that last year's high school champion lives here."

While students all over the campus were busy, some freshmen had already sneaked into the school dormitory area.

Through information from seniors, they already knew that last year's college champion lived here.

So I came over here with seven parts curiosity and three parts courage.

"squeak"

"squeak"

But before they could get close, they heard the sound of giant-clawed rats from under the ground, and then one by one the giant-clawed rats started to attack them.

At the same time, there was movement in the teacher's dormitory, and beasts came from all directions.

"What's going on? Are we not allowed to come in here?" The faces of the surrounded freshmen changed drastically.

Where had they seen such a scene before? They immediately realized that they must have come to the wrong place.

They couldn't help but pray in their hearts that the teachers would not bother with them. They didn't want to be expelled and sent home right after reporting for duty.

"Where are you from? Don't you know you can't just come here casually?" The counselor looked at the group of freshmen who were acting like thieves and scolded them, "Go back, everyone. Don't come here next time. Groudon, Crocodile, and Dark Pegasus are resting here. They are all high-level beasts. If you come here and provoke them, you won't have three lives left."

"Yes, teacher." The students who heard this said with their heads shrank, and then ran away quickly.

Seeing this, the counselor shook his head and said:
"These freshmen are really brave. They even dare to come here."

"dong dong"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the ground began to shake, and the Groudon lying on the ground suddenly moved.

"No way, these little guys woke up Groudon?" The instructor said in astonishment, "Luckily they ran away quickly, otherwise Groudon would have scared them if he stood up."

After saying this, he ordered all the beast masters to retreat.

The pressure from the awakened Groudon is not something they can withstand, otherwise they will all collapse with foam at the mouth.

"Phew! This sleep is so comfortable. Sleep really makes people happy."

On the dry ground, Zhong Cong yawned and slowly climbed up.

"Boss, you finally got up. I thought you would sleep for several years." The Mountain-Moving Crocodile on the side came over immediately after seeing this.

The eldest brother finally woke up today after falling asleep a few months ago.

He was really afraid that the eldest brother would sleep for several years like him.

"It's not impossible to sleep for a few years, but it's definitely not now." Zhong Cong shook his body to shake off the volcanic ash on his body and said, "During the time I was asleep, nothing big happened, right?"

Judging from the dust he shook off, he had slept for quite a while.

"Boss, the Barking Flame Hound left a month ago." Upon hearing this, the Mountain Moving Crocodile reported. If there was any big thing in the past few months, he thought this matter should be a big event for the boss. After all, judging from his usual behavior, the boss was very close to the little dog.

"Did Er Gouzi leave?" Zhong Cong was stunned when he heard this and said, "Did Er Gouzi say when he would be back? Without him, our team would be missing a dog-headed military advisor."

As a boss, how can you be without a military advisor by your side?

Not to mention that he usually helps him with his plans, if he makes a mistake, he can also pick the dog-headed military advisor to take the blame, right? Now that such a person who took the blame is gone, this is not good news.

"The Barking Flame Dog said he would come back when he was free." The Mountain Moving Crocodile said, "Also, in the past few months, someone challenged Tingting, but we defeated them all."

"Really? Then you did a great job. Keep up the good work." Zhong Cong nodded and looked around, noticing that Xu Tingting and Dark Pegasus were not there.

"Tingting went to the library to read. The little pony was afraid that she might encounter danger, so he went with her." Seeing this, the Mountain Moving Crocodile immediately understood what she meant.

"Not bad, quite self-conscious." Zhong Cong nodded and looked at the Mountain Moving Crocodile and said, "Er Gouzi has been away from school for a month. Now are you or Xiao Maju in charge of the younger brothers' affairs?"

"No other beast masters dare to bully the little brothers in school now, so they are usually free-range and don't need us to take care of them. We just need to show up in the volcano training ground every now and then to intimidate the other guys." The Mountain Moving Crocodile said, "In fact, the little brothers are now quite strong, and most of them have become leader beast masters."

"Whether we show up now or not, they won't be bullied in school."

Hundreds of leader beasts and so many elite beasts gathered together, they are not easy to bully.

The beast masters in the school would only provoke them if they wanted to start a group fight.

"Is that so? That's quite worry-free." Zhong Cong nodded, then stood up and prepared to walk around and stretch his muscles.

"Boss, where are you going?" the Mountain Moving Crocodile asked when he saw this.

"No, I'm just stretching my muscles." Zhong Cong said staggeringly. As he stood up, the temperature in the air rose a lot.

"You don't want to walk around the campus, do you? Today is the day for freshmen to report, boss." The Mountain Moving Crocodile muttered after hearing this.

Tingting specifically told him not to run around today, but in fact, even if she didn't tell him, he wouldn't run around because he likes to sleep in. But the eldest brother is different.

"What's wrong with the day when students report? Let them report their reports. I'll stretch my muscles and visit my dear brothers." Zhong Cong said as he walked.

"But Tingting said we can't walk around today, for fear of scaring the freshmen." The Mountain Moving Crocodile said weakly.

"Did you tell me that?" Zhong Cong paused and asked after hearing this.

"No." The Mountain-Moving Crocodile shook his head and said.

"That's right. This is what I tell you. Just stay here. I'll go around by myself." Zhong Cong said, and walked away.

"What the boss said makes a lot of sense. I am speechless." Looking at Zhong Cong's departing back, the Mountain Moving Crocodile couldn't help but say weakly.

"It's great in the summer. Not only is the sun warm, but the magma underground is also at its most active." After Zhong Cong left the classroom and dormitory area, he walked towards the volcano training field. He didn't see any students along the way. It might be because of registration, as they were all busy in the teaching building.

So, Zhong Cong walked all the way to the entrance of the volcano training ground, and when he got here, it finally became lively.

"Boss...you're up today?" When the practicing Flammulina saw Zhong Cong coming, it immediately flapped its wings happily and flew over.

As his voice fell, the beast masters in the volcano training ground all turned their heads and looked over here. Many of the skinny beast masters trembled and huddled together after being glanced at by Zhong Cong.

"Yes, I got up after I had enough sleep." Zhong Cong looked around and found that there were quite a few beast masters around, all of whom were new faces he had never seen before.

"Boss, these guys are new beast masters." After seeing them, Flame Chicken immediately shouted to the trembling beast masters, "Do you guys know who is protecting the Volcano Training Ground? Do you know who blessed you ordinary beast masters to be able to come in? Why don't you say hello to our boss when you see him?"

"Hello, boss!" Upon hearing this, the Beastmasters spoke quickly.

"Well, continue practicing. I won't look for you." Zhong Cong, who was being called, nodded and ignored them.

He is so strong now that he no longer feels as proud as before about being called the boss.

"Boss, the second in command has left. The third in command should have told you, right?" Flammulina asked while flapping its wings in the air.

"Well, he told me, how is everyone's situation now?" Zhong Cong asked after hearing this. He found that there seemed to be fewer younger brothers. When he appeared, not many younger brothers came to greet him.

"Report to the boss! Because many of our brothers' Beast Tamers went to internship or travel, they all left with the Beast Tamers. Now there are only about a hundred brothers left in the school." Blaziken reported.

"Really? Then the number is indeed much smaller." Zhong Cong nodded when he heard it. There were more than 300 brothers, and more than 200 of them left. No wonder the brothers who came to greet him seemed so few.

"Boss, do you want to recruit some more brothers? Recently, many Beast Tamers want to join us." Hearing this, Blaziken immediately asked.

"No need. We will be leaving here in a few years. Why recruit so many brothers? Do you plan to stay here to protect them?" Zhong Cong waved his paw and said, "Practice well, take care of things that you can take care of, and try to take care of things that you can't take care of as little as possible."

This flame chicken has now reached the leader level, and likes to be the big brother. It is actually taking care of ordinary beasts here.

He had no objection to Blaziken taking care of them, but he hoped Blaziken wouldn't cause him any trouble.

After all, no matter how many younger brothers you have, they are just filling in the numbers. Only when you are strong can you be truly strong.

"Yes, boss. I understand." Upon hearing this, Flammulina nodded quickly and winked at the nearby Beast Tamers, telling them not to look over here and to practice honestly.

"Well, that's good to know." Zhong Cong continued to patrol the volcano. From time to time, some beasts would run towards this side. When they saw Zhong Cong's tall figure and ferocious appearance, they were so scared that they crawled away.

"Are all the kids in this year's class so timid?" Zhong Cong said speechlessly after seeing this.

"Maybe he has never seen your domineering and heroic appearance, boss." The Flame Frog said flatteringly.

"Okay, stop flattering me. Just practice diligently. I hope that next time I see you, you will have become lords." Zhong Cong said unhappily after hearing this. This little toad is still as smooth-talking as ever.

"Ah? Boss, are you leaving?"

"Yes, boss. We can't do without you." Upon hearing this, all the Beast Tamers became nervous.

Why did the eldest brother leave school as soon as he woke up? What would they do without the eldest brother to protect them?
"I never said I was leaving. I meant that if I have nothing to do next, I probably won't come to the Volcano Training Field again. If you have anything to do, just come to the dormitory area to find me." Zhong Cong explained when he saw this.

Why are these guys so nervous? He didn't say he was leaving school, he just wanted to go back to the dormitory area.

After all, these newly born beasts were so timid that he was really worried that they would be scared to death if he came a few more times. So he decided to stay back near the villa.

Anyway, the magma is of no use to him now, and he can absorb energy just by staying there.

"That...that's good."

The beast masters heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Okay, you guys just continue practicing. There's no need to send me off, so as not to cause a commotion. I want to go back and continue lying down." Looking at his younger brothers, Zhong Cong said.

"Yes, boss." Upon hearing this, the Beastmasters stopped following and watched Zhong Cong walk towards the entrance of the volcano training ground.

"This is our school's volcanic training ground. You can bring in any fire-type beasts you have to train with, and don't worry about them being bullied by other beasts. This volcanic training ground is protected by the beasts of the Earth Dragon Gang."

"Fighting is not allowed in places where they are. This is because they were bullied when they were ordinary beast masters. After they joined and gained strength, they established new rules in the volcano training ground."

After the seniors led the new students into the volcano training field, they told them about the current situation inside the volcano training field.

"Is this the power established by Groudon?"

"Yeah, Groudon looks fierce. I didn't expect his beast masters to be so righteous."

As the freshmen heard the words and laughed, they noticed that the senior student who led them was looking in one direction in a daze.

They followed each other's gaze and saw a ferocious beast not far away, walking towards them under the illumination of the gushing magma.

"Groud...Groud"

The freshmen who saw this scene said with cold sweat on their heads that they had only heard about Groudon from their seniors and seen it on the Internet, but they did not expect that after seeing it with their own eyes, Groudon's oppression would be so strong.

"Calm down and don't be nervous. Although Groudon looks ferocious, it has no record of hurting anyone." The senior student who led the way took a deep breath and said, telling the freshmen not to be too nervous.

"Freshmen?" Looking at the students standing still, Zhong Cong glanced at them and walked away.

"What a frightening aura..."

"Yeah, it feels like I'm going to stop breathing."

After passing Zhong Cong for a long time, the freshmen couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their foreheads and said.

Now they finally understood why the seniors said that Groudon could scare other Beast Tamers just by its aura.

Which beastmaster would have the courage to challenge such a ferocious beast?
