Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 196 Reencounter with Han Yue

"It's okay if you don't understand. Anyway, our transfer has nothing to do with those good-for-nothings," Wang Zitong said coldly.

"My sister and I have already made a solemn pledge to our grandfather that we will get into the top university in China, National Security University, without relying on any resources or help from the Wang family, and that will earn us a promise from him."

"With your abilities, getting into National Security University shouldn't be too difficult, so... we'd like to invite you to join our expedition team after you enter the university."

Wang Zihan looked at Lin Manman with a serious expression.

Lin Manman looked incomprehensible again. They probably only got to CET-4 at most after entering university.

Why are you in such a hurry to form an expedition team?

What can an expedition team of level four professionals do? They'd be better off focusing on their studies and improving themselves first.

"It seems that Elder Meng didn't tell you about the situation at Imperial University either." From Lin Manman's dismissive expression, Wang Zihan guessed that there were still many things she didn't know.

Lin Manman was stunned. Had that old man not given her any crucial information?

Students from the top five universities in the capital can accept student missions specifically for them in the Alliance's mission hall. Some schools even use student missions as a means of assessment or to accumulate credits.

"The missions for students are all selected by the alliance for high safety levels. This is to allow students to experience the action of exploring secret realms firsthand and to apply what they have learned."

"Secondly, the commission from the task can bring some income to students from poor families."

"If you have excellent college entrance examination scores, you don't need to wait for the school's admission notice. You can take on student assignments in advance during the summer vacation based on your college entrance examination scores."

After hearing Wang Zihan's words, a bunch of big question marks popped up on Lin Manman's little head.

The capital city is indeed very different; I've never even heard of such a system in Nanjing.

Moreover, Meng Wenbin, that old man, has said a lot of important information, both what he should and shouldn't have said, but he doesn't seem to know how much more about the crucial information she should know.

"While I appreciate your explanation, I guess I won't have the chance to team up with you guys for an adventure..."

Lin Manman mentally complained about Meng Wenbin, but then she realized why he hadn't said it.

She will participate in the Intermediate Professional Competition next year. Starting in March or April, she will begin competing in the regional competitions, followed by the national competition. By the time the national competition ends, the college entrance examination will be almost over.

If she achieves a ranking in the national competition, it means she will enter special training and wait for the world competition.

Forget about going on an adventure together; even if she successfully enters university, she probably won't have time to attend the entrance ceremony.

"Why?" Wang Zitong frowned.

Lin Manman glanced at Wang Zihan, who was also frowning, then lowered her eyes and rubbed her chin. "Hmm...maybe you two won't have that chance either."

Even Meng Wenbin was full of praise for the two sisters' combined attack skills. If they can break through to level four before the regional competition next year, they might become strong candidates for the world competition.

The two sisters, Wang Zitong and Wang Zihan, exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of confusion in each other's eyes. This time, they were both full of question marks.

This is normal. Whether or not China participates in the World Championship is a decision made jointly by the official organizers and the professional league. Even if the ten families are currently at the height of their power in the capital, they have no right to interfere in matters concerning the fate of the nation.

Therefore, Lin Manman knew far more about this matter than they did.

"Hehe, it's nothing." Considering that neither the league nor the official authorities had announced any information about participating in the World Championship, Lin Manman didn't say anything more.

However, the news will definitely be announced before the regional competition at the latest, and they will naturally find out then.

Before the two sisters could ask any more questions, the teacher had already entered the classroom.

After a long class, the two sisters forgot about the topic and naturally moved on from it.

Thanks to Gan Wenqiu's vigorous promotion of Lin Manman on the school forum, Lin Manman has become a well-known figure in the entire school, even though it's only her second day at school.

Now, everyone at Huaqing High School, from teachers to freshmen, is out of touch with the times if they say they haven't seen the battle videos on the forum.

The video spread so widely and so quickly that Lin Manman, the person involved, was amazed and almost wanted to introduce her to Su Xiaoyu.

Such a talented young man should definitely go into the media industry.

On her way to her practical class today, she was surrounded by her classmates as if she were a rare spirit beast. Even during class, her fellow beast tamers took the opportunity to take photos with her and her spirit pet.

If it weren't for Teacher Luo's "friendly" lecture, the practical class would have turned into a fan meet-and-greet for Lin Manman.

However, with yesterday's practical lesson preceding it and the battle videos spread by Gan Wenqiu following, none of the beast tamers in Class One were willing to be Lin Manman's opponent.

The scene that played out at Jinling High School has been repeated once again in the capital.

In the end, only Teacher Luo's spirit pet could serve as Lin Manman's sparring partner.

"You should be secretly happy. Only all the practical training teachers in our Senior 3 Class 1 are Level 8 professionals. I've never heard of any other professions having a teacher personally sparring with them in their practical training classes."

"In other words, you're the only one who has an eighth-level professional as your sparring partner. It's fine if you complain to me, but if people tell others, they'll think you're a Versailles and want to punch you."

After class, on their way back, Gan Wenqiu and Lin Manman complained that Teacher Luo's spirit pet's defense was too abnormal, leaving Gan Wenqiu speechless.

Teacher Luo is an eighth-level beast tamer, and her centipede is even at the ninth level, and it is known for its defense and poison attacks.

Although it never activated its defensive shield when serving as Lin Manman's sparring partner, the defensive power of its carapace alone was stronger than that of a warrior of the same level wearing armor.

Even with the amplification of her talent, Lin Manman's spirit pets were unable to leave a single mark on the centipede's body.

However, Gan Wenqiu believed that the fact that she could have her teacher as her sparring partner was an affirmation of her abilities.

"This good fortune is for you, do you want it?" Faced with such good fortune, Lin Manman could only chuckle.

"No, I can't afford it even if I wanted to."

Gan Wenqiu rubbed his nose, recalling the scenes of Lin Manman and her spirit pet being beaten up in various ways. Although it was an honor, not everyone could bear such an honor.

Well, geniuses have to bear burdens that others cannot. She's just a little bit more talented than the average person; she can't be considered a genius...

After being glared at by Lin Manman, Gan Wenqiu dared not call her Versailles again.

The two went back to the classroom to get their belongings and then walked out of the school together.

As she approached the school gate, Lin Manman spotted a familiar figure.

"This is... Han Yue... Young Master Han? Long time no see, what a coincidence!"

Seeing the arrogant young man with a buzz cut and a warhammer on his back, Lin Manman revealed a malicious smile.

When Wu Jingyu mentioned him before, she wondered when they might run into each other since they were studying at the same school.

Sure enough, on my second day of school, I actually encountered it.

What else could this be but fate?

When Han Yue heard an unfamiliar voice calling him, he turned around in confusion and saw Lin Manman, that jinx, greeting him with a smile.
