Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 176 High-level Mythical Slavic Dragon

Lin Manman looked at the dragon egg, the surprise was so sudden that she felt it was all too real.

"Really...you gave it to me?"

Meng Wenbin nodded. "This dragon egg is very special. The ring of dragon scales on the surface of the egg makes it impossible for the institute's current testing technology to detect the specific situation inside."

"We also tried to get beast tamers to form a contract with it, but we found that the young dragon inside seemed to be asleep, and no one has been able to wake it up."

"Perhaps your ability can really work, making it your spirit pet, and it can become a fighting force for China in the future. It's better than keeping it in a research institute as an ornament."

Lin Manman rubbed her hands together and chuckled. This was a perfect match for her major, so it was incredibly easy for her!

Let her take a look first.

The system was brought up and began scanning the dragon eggs on the ground.

Holy crap?!

Holy crap?!

Holy crap?!

After using the system to examine the dragon egg, Lin Manman's mind was filled with "Holy crap!"

Lin Manman gasped sharply. There was too much shocking information, and she didn't know whether to be shocked by the dragon egg's incredible nature or by the fact that the system could provide a solution directly.

"How is it? Did you notice anything?" Meng Wenbin asked quickly when he saw that she seemed a little strange.

"Teacher... are you sure this dragon egg is really for me?" Lin Manman pressed one hand to her chest, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.

The lessons learned from the boss were long forgotten.

Such an overpowered mythical beast, let alone devouring her entire fortune, even if you added a restriction requiring her to participate in the intermediate professional competition, she wouldn't even blink an eye.

"You figured out what kind of dragon this is?" Meng Wenbin was pleasantly surprised. It seemed he had underestimated his little apprentice's talent.

She never expected that the dragon egg, which the alliance had been unable to deal with for so many years, would actually reveal something to her.

Lin Manman's eyes darted around.

This dragon egg is a bit too powerful. What if Meng Wenbin worries that she won't be able to bring out the full value of this spirit pet and then goes back on his word and doesn't give it to her?

Seeing her stammering, Meng Wenbin became even more furious.

"What? Still wary of teachers?"

Lin Manman waved her hands repeatedly, "No, that's not it... I'm afraid you'll think I'm too unambitious, and that knowing the dragon's potential will make you feel like I'm wasting it..."

Meng Wenbin narrowed his eyes. She had already said so much, how could he not guess that this dragon egg must possess extremely high talent?

Otherwise, with this girl's discerning eye, she wouldn't need to hide even someone with average talent from her.

Seeing her greedy, money-grubbing expression, as if she was afraid he'd change his mind, a thought flashed through his mind...

"If even you feel that making it a contract would be a waste of its talent, then shouldn't you let it play its proper role?"

Lin Manman blinked, a bad feeling creeping over her.

Meng Wenbin's expression now is just like it was a few days ago when he held the glass-horned deer and the dragon egg, asking her to go to the research institute and work like a slave.

"Wh...what do you mean?" Could it be...what she's thinking?

Meng Wenbin said with a smile, "I gave you this dragon egg because I wanted you to become one of China's top combat forces in the future, so that you could contribute when China needs you."

"But right now, you'll have the opportunity to do this soon, instead of waiting until so far in the future."

Lin Manman really wanted to punch herself. She had just been thinking that even if Meng Wenbin added the condition that she must participate in the intermediate professional competition, she would definitely agree immediately without hesitation.

And just like that, this idea was proven true very quickly.

The prophecy came true before she even uttered it...

Lin Manman chuckled twice. "Teacher, I don't think I'll have a chance to break through to level four next year."

At this moment, Meng Wenbin smiled like an old fox, "There are many ways to help you break through to level four before the regional competition. As long as you agree, your teacher can help you break through quickly."

Lin Manman was on the verge of tears. Hadn't they agreed to respect her choice? Why was she being forced into this situation now?

"Manman, since no one can currently form a contract with this dragon egg, I can make the decision to give it to you."

"If it were just an ordinary dragon, and you had the ability to awaken it and make it your spirit pet, perhaps some people would be jealous and dissatisfied, but they wouldn't be able to say anything."

"But if this dragon is too talented, then others might not just be jealous and resentful... Do you understand what I mean?"

Meng Wenbin looked at Lin Manman seriously. He didn't really want to use the dragon egg to coerce his little apprentice into participating in the intermediate professional competition and contributing to China. He was genuinely thinking about her.

If they are just dragons with average talent, the League already has five of them.

Lin Manman hatched it on her own, and with this old guy backing her up, even if someone said something, they wouldn't dare to go too far.

However, if the dragon inside this dragon egg possesses talent far surpassing that of other dragons, it would be a shame for a little girl who hasn't officially joined the alliance and has no merits to her name to obtain it.

Even though it was her ability that brought the dragon egg back to life, even with him there, he couldn't stop the malice of those with ill intentions.

However, if Lin Manman can participate in the Intermediate Professional Tournament and achieve good results, thus securing the qualification for China to explore the God-level Secret Realm, then that would be a different story.

The qualification to explore the divine realm has a significant impact not only on the alliance but also on the entire China. With this achievement, no one will dare to say or do anything else.

Reminded by Meng Wenbin, Lin Manman also thought of these things.

She pursed her lips.

If she didn't know about the dragon egg's special abilities, she might hesitate to take the risk for a dragon egg whose situation was unknown.

Now she knows that this is such an extraordinary divine beast, and that she has the ability to awaken it.

What's a little risk? It's not like it's a certain death situation!

I'm just a worthless person, so I'll just keep fighting!

"Teacher...As a member of China, I am willing to contribute my own strength to the development of China!" Lin Manman said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

Meng Wenbin: ...

If she hadn't just been refusing, he would almost have believed she was participating voluntarily for the sake of China...

With such a thick skin, I wonder who he took after?

The Slavic dragon appears in ancient Rus' folklore, fairy tales, and legends, primarily as an embodiment of evil. It is a "great serpent, Gorinech," with three, six, or even nine heads. In some stories, if all the dragon's heads are not cut off, they will grow back.
