Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 37 Five consecutive wins! Direct advancement!

The audience, who were also stunned and somewhat bewildered, finally reacted, and cheers and applause resounded like thunder throughout the arena.

"It's a spirit pet that knows spatial abilities!"

"Wow, don't you guys think this snake is beautiful? What kind of spirit pet is it? I'm tempted to keep one as a pet."

"Looks quite young, yet you've already contracted two spirit pets?"

"Goodness, this snake's skills are a bit too overpowered. If we don't defend ourselves at all times and counteract the impact of its tail lashes, we'll be knocked out of the arena in no time."

"Space-type spirit pets are rare to begin with, and her bear is no ordinary creature either. It's so enviable!"

"Hahaha, that kid with the hammer lost, and then he got taunted by that snake with a skill. It's hilarious."

Although Han Yue was sent flying and crashed to the ground, Hong Yu was only level two, and he was wearing a full set of level three equipment. Therefore, aside from losing face, he didn't suffer any damage.

He rolled over and saw the Beastmaster, who had been healed by his priest teammate and woken up. His anger flared instantly. Wasn't this supposed to be the strongest level 2 Beastmaster in the household? And what happened? He was stunned by his own pet's skill before they even exchanged a single blow. What a waste!

It's a joke that a beast tamer trained by a family at such high cost is not as good as a little girl from an ordinary family who awakens her own powers.

The intelligence of the Han Group is far beyond what an amateur like Xue Songwen can match. Han Yue had already investigated their information back when Lin Manman and the others were competing for the first time.

He originally thought that this team with an ordinary background had only managed to win two matches by chance because they had contracted a spirit pet of good quality and used their brains.

He didn't want the first team to advance with a five-game winning streak to be a team that had been weakened, so he decided to make his move. Who knew this girl was not only good at hiding her abilities, but also incredibly patient.

No matter how angry Han Yue is now, the fact that Lin Manman's team won cannot be changed. After confirming that the Beastmaster was unharmed, the referee declared Lin Manman's team the winner!

Fang Yaqi rushed over excitedly and hugged Lin Manman. Heaven knows how anxious she was when she saw Liu Ping trapped and Honey Badger tied up with Han Yue and unable to spare any attention. Before she could even process what was happening, the situation on the field changed.

During the final handshake, Han Yue and his teammates behind him looked extremely grim. "Hmph, it was nothing but opportunism. Next time we meet, don't even think about winning with these petty tricks."

Lin Manman held Han Yue's hand, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Young Master Han is right. I will definitely win with my strength next time."

"You're quite the smooth talker," Han Yue said with a cold laugh, releasing his grip and turning to leave.

"I didn't realize that the young master of the Han family was such a chuunibyou (delusional teenager)." Zhu Zibin muttered to himself as he watched him walk away.

Lin Manman glanced at him, her expression not very pleasant.

Zhu Zibin looked bewildered. "What did I do?"

"Tsk, damn rich people." As soon as Lin Manman saw Zhu Zibin, she thought of Han Yue's team with a full set of level 3 equipment, and she was so envious that she almost got jealous.

Zhu Zibin twitched his lips. "There's no need to include me. My family doesn't have the strength to compare with the Han family."

After winning this match, Lin Manman and her team encountered another situation where no one was willing to challenge. The referee had to call on teams again, but unsurprisingly, the teams whose names were called forfeited.

Lin Manman and her team won all three matches, plus two games they forfeited, achieving a five-game winning streak and advancing to the next round!

"Hahaha, we've advanced!! We've made it straight to the top 64!" Fang Yaqi jumped up excitedly and gave each of her teammates a high five.

After having a good time with her teammates, Lin Manman received her advancement badge from the referee.

"Congratulations! You're the first team to advance with a five-game winning streak! You can choose to continue watching or go back and wait for the match the day after tomorrow." The referee handed the advancement plaque to Lin Manman with a smile on his face.

Xue Songwen suggested that they could split up and watch the matches in different areas, and then organize the intelligence together afterwards. Lin Manman had the same idea, so Lin Manman and Fang Yaqi stayed at this match venue, while Liu Ping and the other two went to the other three match venues respectively.

"Teacher, you really are here. The Alliance has so many documents for you to review, yet you're here watching a little spectacle." A man dressed in black and wearing a mask appeared silently in the back row of the audience. He sat next to the old man, but the surrounding audience seemed completely unaware.

"Hehe, how did you know I was here?" The old man scratched his beard awkwardly, feeling a bit guilty, like he'd been caught slacking off by a student.

"I saw the registration form on your desk." The man had to admit that he and Lin Manman did indeed have some kind of connection. He had thought of her when the old man mentioned an interesting little girl, but he didn't think it was such a coincidence. It wasn't until he went to the old man's office and saw Lin Manman's information form on his desk that he confirmed that the little girl his teacher had met was indeed her.

"You're too late. You didn't see that little girl's two spirit pets. One is a space-type iridescent king snake that can mimic appearances, and the other is a black rock bear that seems to be a mutation. Both have very good potential. It's a pity that this little girl is too cunning. In order not to reveal more information, she finished the battle as quickly as possible." The old man shook his head regretfully. He wanted to see more of the skills that the little girl's spirit pets had.

"Two spirit pets?" The man recalled when he first met Lin Manman. "She should have had at least one Golden-Winged Gale Falcon."

The old man's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "You know her?"

"His brother was one of the victims of this secret realm incident. I was the one who approved the compensation payment from the Alliance branch. She... had just awakened at that time." The man nodded and briefly explained what had happened back then.

The old man's eyes brightened even more. "She's already contracted three spirit pets right after awakening? Excellent, excellent! Mingyuan, how about I take her in as your junior sister?"

The man in black, Fu Mingyuan, looked at the old man helplessly. "Not so good. With the work of the Alliance and the research on spirit pets, do you still have time to teach your disciple, Master?"

"Hey, isn't it because I have you as my senior brother? You can teach me when I'm not free." The old man looked at Lin Manman, who was watching the game from the front row, with a look of delight in his eyes.

"Don't forget our purpose for this trip. Taking on a disciple now is not a good thing for her." Fu Mingyuan also looked at Lin Manman. She was still too weak, like a small flame in a storm amidst the power struggles. Even the slightest disturbance could destroy her.

The old man sighed, "What you said makes sense, then let's wait a little longer."

Fu Mingyuan, on the contrary, felt a surge of curiosity. "You've made up your mind about her? May I ask why?"

The old man glanced at him and gave a haughty snort. "I've only ever taken on three apprentices in my entire life, and not only are they all men, but each one is more difficult than the last. I'm getting old; can't I take on a caring female apprentice?"

Fu Mingyuan: ...

"If you only want to take on female disciples, how many young ladies from wealthy families in the capital would want to send themselves to you as your disciples? Even if it's unregistered, there would be people willing to do it."

The old man stroked his chin. He had originally intended to say he didn't like her, but then he remembered that there were indeed several girls in the capital who were quite talented...

"Never mind, let's wait a bit longer. Let's wait until we get back from this trip, until she's a little older..."

After saying that, the old man stood up and left the competition venue.

Fu Mingyuan frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes as he looked at Lin Manman. His teacher wasn't one to play coy; he must have noticed something about her but was unwilling to tell him. What secret was it that even he couldn't reveal?

Because I accidentally reduced the size of some participating teams during my review, a bug occurred. I urgently fixed it yesterday and also changed the competition schedule. I apologize for any confusion caused. Then, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the readers who voted and tipped me. This newbie author, who has been writing solo for a long time, is moved to tears…
