Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."

Professor Zhou stood with his hands behind his back, looking completely at ease.

"I'm not nervous, you'd better have malicious intent."

Chi Hong laughed, and the Dragonite behind him immediately grew larger and smaller, its mouth wide open, making a fierce, snarling expression.

He even forcefully exhaled two streams of white air from his nose...

For a moment, Chi Hong really wanted to light one for Brother Kuailong...

"Chi Hong, I recognize you. Your mother used to take my class." Professor Zhou's attitude seemed to have improved, and he even managed a slight smile as he spoke.

"Oh?"

"Trying to build connections? Well, sorry, you're too late. Professor Yan has already used that tactic."

Chi Hong glanced at Deng Jiahao, who looked completely bewildered not far away, and asked, "Didn't you let that guy out beforehand? If a fight breaks out later, I can't guarantee he'll still be intact..."

"Hmph!!" Dragonite raised its head, crossed its arms, and looked arrogant.

"As I just said, I meant no harm. I just have something I'd like to discuss with you." Professor Zhou glanced at his watch and estimated the time. Even if law enforcement officers were to be dispatched, it would take at least half an hour for the nearest law enforcement agency to send someone over. Half an hour was more than enough!

"I really dislike this feeling of being locked up. You'd better just say what you want to say."

"I'm giving you a heads-up: if you're not a Super A-level, you absolutely won't last half an hour against me."

"I'll take you down within half an hour!"

Chi Hong squinted at Professor Zhou and bluntly stated that he wanted to kill him.

"What's wrong with this kid?" Professor Zhou frowned.

Chi Hong gave him a very strange feeling; he didn't seem like a college student who had just entered university at all!

Instead, he's more like a battle maniac who's always fighting!

He constantly uses highly aggressive terms like "I'll kill you"!

This Chi Hong, whom he had heard about before, was not the same person at all; it was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Seeing Professor Zhou remain silent, Chi Hong was not in a hurry. He just watched him quietly. Either way, he would be fine, unless the old man could use overwhelming strength to crush him!

But is that even possible?

Even Professor Yan's pet beast couldn't withstand a single ultimate attack from the Explosive Muscle Mosquito!

Why should Old Zhou be allowed to do it?

"Since that's the case, I'll speak frankly."

After a moment of contemplation, Professor Zhou spoke again, saying, "If we don't speak now, the enforcement team will really come!"

Although I'm sure I'll be fine, my reputation as a professor will definitely suffer some damage, which is a troublesome matter.

He had to get this done quickly, because that old bastard Yan Qing might arrive even before the law enforcement officers!

"To be honest, your dragon has been wasted in your hands."

"You can transfer him to me, name your price."

"Only in the hands of an experienced professor of pet beasts like me can it truly shine and bring glory to Jinling Beast Tamer University... no, to the entire city of Jinling..."

Professor Zhou spoke with righteous indignation, appearing entirely devoted to the greater good.

"Um???"

Kuailong clearly understood, and he stretched out his arm and made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves. Chi Hong didn't know where he learned it from, but he looked like he was going to twist Old Zhou's head off and kick it like a ball.

"If that's all you're going to say, then there's nothing more to say."

"If you want to fight me, summon your pet beast. Otherwise, when the enforcers arrive, I won't be able to get serious."

Chi Hong's tone remained calm on the surface, but he had already decided to kill him.

Chi Hong has only one Pokémon, a level 1 Popplio, which is the only one he owns. Just like the professor who gives players Pokémon at the start of the Pokémon games, Chi Hong has played that role.

He had never even considered collecting all the Pokémon in this world to complete his Pokédex, yet this old man wanted his Dragonite the moment he saw it?

The last person who wanted a big wolfhound is long gone. Chi Hong now sees this old man as someone who is very suitable to follow Lin Xia's old path. Maybe he will die sooner and catch up with Lin Xia on his way to the underworld, and discuss with him his experience in dealing with Chi Hong.

Deng Jiahao felt a little numb. He walked over to Professor Zhou and stammered, "Professor, this... isn't quite right? How can you ask someone to be your pet like this, especially since he... is just a freshman?"

"What do you know?"

"Useless! You surrendered after losing just one!"

Professor Zhou immediately lashed out at Deng Jiahao with a furious expression.

"Oh? I'm starting to have a slightly different opinion of you." Chi Hong pointed a finger at Deng Jiahao and said, "You might just be a little slow-witted, but you're not exactly a malicious person, are you?"

What sounded like a compliment actually sounded extremely grating to Deng Jiahao, and his face immediately turned bright red.

"What a precocious child! He won't listen to reason, so I'll have to resort to force..."

Professor Zhou seemed to have made a decision in an instant. After considering it again and again, he finally decided that he absolutely could not miss this opportunity!

That's a dragon!

It is a dragon that can help him completely surpass A-level and step into the S-level beast tamer status!

How could it be that it ended up in the hands of a callow youth!

This is such a waste!

"You old bastard, I'll unleash Charizard and Dragonite together and take you down in an instant, blowing this training room up too!"

"As for that Jiahao..."

"I'll have Lucario give him a mental shock, so he'll become an amnesiac!"

Chi Hong's expression instantly turned fierce. He had to make his move sooner or later!

Professor Zhou has made it clear that he covets his Pokémon, and has even expressed it openly, making him no different from Lin Xia.

He didn't want to be enjoying hotpot and singing songs for a couple of days, only to have a sniper secretly spying on him from afar.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely make this old man Zhou have an accident!

Just as the two were about to draw their swords and were about to fight, the door opened.

Professor Zhou frowned, forcefully suppressing the urge to summon his pet.

Professor Yan walked over with steady steps, accompanied by President Li. Only about ten minutes had passed before he arrived. It should be noted that Jinling Beastmaster University has a very large area, and there are even campus buses connecting the student dormitories to the teaching areas.

"It really is a dragon..."

Professor Yan walked over to Chi Hong, first glancing at Dragonite with a look of surprise, then turning to Professor Zhou with a cold expression.

"Does getting older mean becoming more shameless?"

"You don't want to be dignified? Want me to help you be dignified?"

Professor Yan's tone was low and his face was terribly gloomy. They were old acquaintances who had known each other for half their lives. The moment he came in, he roughly knew what had happened and didn't need Chi Hong to explain anything.
