Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 394 The Contract! The Lord of the Azure Sea!
The sun shines warmly on the farm.

Chen Yuan held his breath and focused his gaze calmly on the elegant, floating egg in front of him, its eyes carrying a final trace of hesitation and arrogance.

"Are you ready, Egg?" Chen Yuan asked softly.

Egg raised its head, its crystal-clear dragon eyes giving Chen Yuan a deep look, then it glanced around—at the farm members with their varied expressions not far away. Finally, a resolute glint flashed in its eyes, and it let out a firm dragon roar: "Roar!"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, staring at Dandan, and a gentle yet pure spiritual energy suddenly surged towards him.

This spiritual power is not domineering, but rather like a warm, gentle stream.

Egg did not resist the infusion of spiritual power, and so the spiritual power naturally established a connection with the vast and pure life energy within Egg's body.

At this moment, a solid spiritual bridge has been quietly erected.

At both ends of the bridge lies Chen Yuan's unwavering and inclusive will, and Dandan's proud yet yearning-to-grow spirit.

Through this bridge, Chen Yuan could more clearly sense Dandan's emotional fluctuations—a hint of trepidation about the unknown, a reluctance to part with freedom, but more so, a burning desire to become stronger and a persistent determination to achieve a certain goal.

Target?

What is the goal?
Is it really about ruling the farms?

At the same time, Egg felt a warm, powerful, and benevolent consciousness enveloping it, like a safe harbor that instinctively made it feel at ease.

The bonds of the contract are being strengthened rapidly.

Soon, the egg's body emitted a soft and bright white light.

The light was not dazzling; instead, it was like a warm cocoon, completely enveloping its exquisite body, and its shape gradually became blurred in the light.

call out--

Like stars returning to their places, a flash of white light appeared, and Egg's figure completely disappeared from its original spot; it had entered Chen Yuan's pet space.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and all eyes were focused on Chen Yuan.

Yumi had somehow slipped into the shade under the eaves. She covered her eyes with her two little paws, but couldn't help peeking through her fingers. Her lips were downturned, and she made a soft "gurgle."

Alas, the little foolish dragon has now boarded the pirate ship, and this Lord Yumida has lost an ally to draw fire.

What should we do next?
Cola sat upright at Chen Yuan's feet, its tail rhythmically patting the ground, its eyes filled with a sense of relief and a sense of responsibility like that of a "boss".

Well, the new little brother is a bit arrogant, but he has good potential. I'll protect him from now on!

Spark perched gracefully on Chen Yuan's shoulder, glancing briefly at the spot where Egg had disappeared before continuing to preen its shimmering feathers.

The Morning and Evening Flower Fairy gently fluttered her transparent wings, scattering wisps of tranquil light dust carrying blessings.

Runrun Duck and Electric Flying Cat huddled together, whispering to each other, seemingly discussing how their friend's strength was increasing, allowing them to laze around without any worries.

After a brief silence, the air in front of Chen Yuan began to ripple slightly.

A complex and exquisite summoning array composed of countless mysterious blue runes appeared out of thin air.

The array rotated slowly, emitting gentle spatial fluctuations.

In the center of the array, white light shone again. Egg's figure solidified from its ethereal form, enveloped in a soft halo, and slowly descended into the air.

As the white light faded, its body, sculpted like blue crystal, seemed even more translucent.

Egg blinked its dragon eyes, which held the secrets of the starry sky, and curiously surveyed its surroundings, as if it were truly seeing this world for the first time. It gently swayed its dragon tail, sensing the flow of energy within its body.

It was visibly stunned for a moment, and an incredulous expression appeared on its dragon face.

It could clearly feel that the growth rate of energy in its body was much, much faster than when it cultivated alone. The feeling of constantly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and becoming stronger was so real and obvious!
It suddenly raised its head, its eyes fixed intently on Chen Yuan, filled with surprise and fervor!
"hold head high!"

Chen Yuan watched Egg's reaction and couldn't help but smile, spreading his hands: "See, I didn't lie to you, did I? This is the real benefit of a contract."

He is currently a Morning Star Beastmaster, and his surging spiritual power allows Egg to grow at the fastest speed.

This growth rate far exceeds that of a high-level beast tamer.

In other words, Egg itself is of the Bright Moon quality, and with the feedback of Morning Star level spiritual power, Egg's speed of breaking through to the third level is much faster than the other three little guys.

Egg immediately nodded its head vigorously, letting out a series of cheerful gurgling sounds in its throat to indicate its agreement: "Aww aww aww!"

That's right! Contracts are wonderful!
Then, Egg turned to look at Youmi hiding under the eaves and gave her the most sincere advice: "Aww~"

You should also form a contract; that way you can become stronger faster.

"Chirp."

Looking at Egg's sincere face, Youmi held her forehead with her paw, speechless for a moment.

Then it turned its head away, looked away, and couldn't help but mutter, "Coo-choo."

What a stupid dragon! How could I, Lord Youmi, have thought of making it an ally?
Just then, Chen Yuan's smile faded, and he looked up at Dandan, speaking earnestly:
"However, you must now face a reality," he said slowly, his face serious, "your current strength is still very weak, and you are probably not yet qualified to step onto the stage of the Eastern Empire Tournament."

Upon hearing this, Egg's dragon eyes widened immediately, and its neck stiffened: "Huh?!"

That's not what you said before!

You said you'd make me famous all over the world!

Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly, but his calm tone made Dandan feel cold:

"We must respect the objective facts. With your current strength, facing those powerful pets from all over the country who have been through countless battles, there will only be one outcome—being easily defeated."

At this point, he deliberately emphasized, "Moreover, it will be a crushing defeat in front of millions of viewers. What will spread throughout Donghuang will not be your invincible reputation, but the shameful name of how you were instantly killed by your opponent."

"Do you really want this?"

"hold head high?!"

Egg was struck dumb, his entire body stiffening.

In that instant, a tragic image flashed through its mind: it being trampled to the ground by an unknown pet amidst countless jeers.

For the proud dragon race, this was a torture worse than death!

Egg shook its head violently, its dragon whiskers trembling with anger: "Roar!"

No! Absolutely not!

This king must not suffer such humiliation!
Seeing its reaction, Chen Yuan pressed on, "So from now on, we must seize every second to make ourselves stronger."

"Next, I will develop the most detailed, comprehensive, and rigorous training plan for you, ensuring you enjoy the best resources and undergo the most arduous training!" "Our goal is singular—to improve your strength as quickly as possible, so that you can truly stand on the stage of the Donghuang Tournament and showcase your brilliance to everyone!"

"can you do it?"

"hold head high--!!!"

Egg burst forth with an unprecedentedly powerful dragon roar, its entire body's scales seeming to shimmer with the flames of fighting spirit.

The dragon raised its head high, its eyes no longer showing any hesitation or laziness, but only an unwavering determination and soaring fighting spirit!
From this moment forward, a vigorous special training program will begin.

As a pet of the Bright Moon quality, Egg's potential goes without saying. Among the pets Chen Yuan has encountered so far, it ranks in the top three, far surpassing Spark and Cola.

This proves that Egg's potential is extremely high, and as long as it grows smoothly, it will definitely possess extremely strong combat power.

The abundance of spiritual plants on the farm, along with the various cultivation resources provided by the Qin Province Beast Tamer Association, is enough to allow Egg to thrive and develop a stronger physique.

Among all the various spiritual plants, the most useful for Egg Egg right now is the Void Fruit, which can enhance comprehension.

In Chen Yuan's initial training plan, the first step was to use the Void Fruit to maximize Egg's comprehension, which would make skill training more efficient.

Of the four skills that Egg currently possesses, Chen Yuan instructed it to focus on training [Water Surge] and [Cloud Sea Standing Tall].

Compared to [Water Bomb], Water Surge is the most basic water-type skill. Its power is relatively low, but its casting speed is extremely fast with almost no delay. Moreover, it is easy to learn and can be mastered in the shortest amount of time to form an effective combat force.

While the Water Bomb is extremely powerful, it requires a short preparation time to cast and is not easy to hit the opponent, making it not very useful for Egg in the current situation.

As for the [Cloud Sea Standing] racial skill of the Eggman, its importance goes without saying; [Mirror Flower Water Moon], although its effect is excellent, is quite difficult to master and is not a good choice for the current Eggman.

"Ang~!"

Egg floated in mid-air, waving its claws frantically, surrounded by mist, and constantly spewing water from its mouth.

"Duck, you teach it."

As one of only two aquatic pets on the farm, Runrun Duck is already at the third tier. Although it is lazy and dislikes fighting by nature, it would definitely be a powerful pet that dominates a lake in the wild.

It's perfect for guiding the egg.

"quack."

The duck flapped its wings listlessly as it slowly walked toward the eggs, its eyes filled with resentment.

I just want to freeload, how could I do something like this!
Looking at the reluctant duck, Chen Yuan silently raised a finger and his lips moved: "A spirit fish."

"Gah?!"

Upon hearing this, Ya Ya's eyes widened, she straightened her back, and stared intently at Chen Yuan.

Is this true?

"Really?" Chen Yuan nodded.

"Quack quack!"

Duck immediately hopped over and gave Chen Yuan a high five, then swaggered over to Egg, his face beaming with pride.

Make way! Make way!

Instructor Duck is here!
After Instructor Duck came online, Egg's training life officially began.

While instructing Egg, Duck deliberately kept a serious expression on its face. It walked back and forth with its little wings on its back, sometimes nodding in approval, sometimes shaking its head and sighing, and sometimes excitedly flapping its wings and quacking incessantly.

You are the worst class I've ever taught!
During Egg's training, other little ones would occasionally come over to watch, especially Youmi, who kept eating an apple and shaking her head and sighing as she looked at Egg.

"Coo-choo~"

What a fine little dragon! It was tricked by the despicable farmer and lost its freedom, becoming nothing but constraints.

As the sun sets, it bathes the training ground in a warm golden hue.

After a day of training, Egg lay panting on a smooth rock, too tired to even move the tip of its tail.

But its eyes were exceptionally bright. After a day of diligent training, it could clearly feel that its skill proficiency had improved significantly. The water surge that could previously only break small stones could now damage hard rocks.

This remarkable progress filled Egg with a tremendous sense of accomplishment. It looked up into the distance, as if it could already see the day when it would dominate the Donghuang Tournament and be cheered by the crowd.

Chen Yuan stood not far away, quietly watching this scene, a smile of relief and anticipation curving his lips.

Contracting a powerful water-type pet was a long-held idea of ​​his, and being able to contract Egg was an unexpected delight.

In addition, the Donghuang Tournament is divided into three stages. Although Egg is currently at a low level, its extremely high quality and outstanding skills give it the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels.

If Egg can break through to the second tier before the opening of the Eastern Empire Tournament, Egg's combat power will be able to compete with third-tier pets.

If conditions permit, Chen Yuan plans to let Dandan participate in the points competition to experience the real battle atmosphere.

A surge of thoughts coursed through Chen Yuan's mind, and a sudden thought flashed in his eyes as he remembered something very important:

"I have now broken through to the Morning Star level, and three of my pets have broken through to the third tier, which meets the standard for certified Morning Star Beast Tamer."

"It's time to get certified as the first Morning Star Beast Tamer in Qin Province."

When Chen Yuan told Zhou Xu about this, the latter replied with three exclamation marks immediately. A while later, he sent another message: "Advisor Chen, the association will organize people to come to Xuanhe Town immediately!"

Upon seeing Zhou Xu's reply, Chen Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

I remember that in order to get certified as a beginner or intermediate beast tamer, I had to go to the city to fight other beast tamers and go through a series of tedious procedures before I could get certified.

Once he is certified as a high-level beast tamer, he will be the number one in Qin Province. No beast tamer will be able to test his strength, and there will be no more tedious certification process. Everything will fall into place naturally.

This time, if I want to be certified as a Morning Star Beastmaster, I don't even need to go out; I just need to wait quietly at home.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but pat his shoulder and grin:
"As expected of you, Consultant Chen."

The following morning, the Qin Province Beast Tamer Association issued a shocking announcement—warmly celebrating the birth of the province's first Morning Star Beast Tamer.

Upon closer inspection, one can find numerous contributions and honors attributed to Chen Yuan, such as upholding his responsibilities and safeguarding the peace of the Qinling Mountains, or dedicating himself to research and advancing academic progress.
Finally, the Qin Province Beast Tamer Association mentioned Chen Yuan's upcoming participation in the Eastern Glory Tournament, wishing him a resounding victory and a triumphant return.

The announcement caused a stir in the beast tamer community of Qin Province, and Chen Yuan's name was once again the talk of the town.

Amidst the noisy atmosphere, Chen Yuan quietly stayed on the farm, enjoying the last leisurely training time with the little ones.

But time always slips away quietly, and before you know it, it's time to leave for the capital.
