In Locke, beast taming begins with a black pot.

Yang Chao was stunned for a moment.

I never expected this junior to be so interesting.

"My name is Yang Chao, and I am a third-year student at Songjiang Beast Taming University."

Yang Chao extended his hand.

Songjiang Beast Taming University is one of the top three beast taming academies in the country!

It's a level above even the provincial key universities!

No more than five places will be allocated to students from Jiangcheng each year!

"I formally invite you to apply to Songjiang Beast Taming University and become my junior."

Yang Chao spoke earnestly.

If you introduce a genius with 3 spirit slots to the school, the school will give you a 100,000 yuan bonus and a spot to explore an intermediate secret realm.

This is a huge profit!

As for Zhao Yuxuan, he didn't even glance at him.

A person who can't distinguish between their own strength and the strength of their opponent will only be cannon fodder once they enter school.

They wouldn't even make it to winter break during their freshman year.

Fatty Wang stood trembling with excitement, grabbing Chen Xun's arm: "Brother Xun, hurry up and say yes! That's Songjiang University!"

Chen Xun seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he slowly said, "I'll think about it."

The entire audience: "..."

Think about it?

Songjiang University, which others are desperate to get into, and you're saying you'll consider it?

Do you really have to be so pretentious?

Yang Chao was also stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone remain so calm in the face of an invitation from Songjiang University.

Yang Chao nodded and handed Chen Xun a business card: "This is my contact information. Call me anytime you've decided."

Chen Xun wasn't trying to show off.

He had long planned to go to the university where his parents worked, the Capital Beast Taming Academy.

The day after the awakening ceremony ended.

The delivery guy almost kicked Chen Xun's security door to pieces.

"Chen Xun, your package. Thirty-two packages in total!"

The deliveryman, panting like a dog, stood at the doorway carrying a stack of cardboard boxes almost as tall as himself: "Brother, what big thing have you done? All the nearby universities are sending you acceptance letters, and I've made eight trips today just to deliver them to you!"

Chen Xun opened the door with a yawn, staring blankly at the mountain of packages piled up at the entrance.

Fatty Wang followed behind, letting out a roar as he pounced on them:

"Holy crap! So many? Brother Xun, are you trying to take over all the universities in Jiangcheng?!"

He deftly unpacked the package, making a lot of noise as he did so:

"Jiangcheng Beast Taming Academy, a key provincial academy! Direct admission! And four years of tuition waiver!"

"Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology, Department of Beast Taming Engineering! Offering a scholarship of 500,000 yuan! Plus a free apartment in a good school district!"

"Holy crap! New Oriental Culinary School is here? They're offering you a special admission to the Royal Chef program, specializing in cooking with elven ingredients, and you'll be directly assigned to a five-star hotel upon graduation!"

"And then there's Lanxiang! Lanxiang Excavator and Beast Taming Branch! They say you're born with superhuman strength, perfect for driving excavators and catching Pokémon, and you're guaranteed a job as a mine manager after graduation!"

……

Fatty Wang's hands were sore from dismantling the package. He looked up at Chen Xun, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Brother Xun, you're the hottest guy in Jiangcheng right now! Pick any one of them and you'll never have to worry about money again!"

Chen Xun leaned against the door frame, picked at his ear, and looked completely indifferent.

"It's all garbage."

"Rubbish?"

Fatty Wang nearly tore up the acceptance letter in his hand: "A 500,000 yuan scholarship plus a house in a good school district is considered garbage?"

I'm stating the facts.

Chen Xun kicked the cardboard box beside his feet: "The level of Pokémon research in these schools can't even compare to my parents' heels. Going there would be a waste of time."

All he was really waiting for was the entrance test notification from the Capital Beast Taming Academy.

That was his parents' alma mater, and also the place with the highest level of elf research in all of China.

Only there could he find the truth about his parents' disappearance and unlock the secret of the seal on his spiritual well.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The knocking sounded again.

Chen Xun assumed it was another deliveryman and casually opened the door.

Old Han was carrying a plastic bag and had a fried dough stick in his mouth.

"Wow, it's quite lively here!"

Old Han squeezed through the door, his eyes lit up when he saw the notices scattered on the floor, and he casually picked up a recommendation notice from Jiangcheng Beast Taming Academy, whistling:

"You're quite something, kid. Jiangcheng Beast Taming Academy is practically begging you to come. Back in the day, the principal of that school came to my house in person, kneeling and begging me to become a professor there, but I refused."

Fatty Wang rolled his eyes: "Uncle Han, you're bragging again. Last time you said you single-handedly conquered the secret realm back then."

What does it mean to brag?

Old Han stuffed a fried dough stick into his mouth and mumbled, "Back when I was in the Beast Taming world, you two were still wearing open-crotch pants. Not to mention Jiangcheng Beast Taming Academy, even the Capital Beast Taming Academy was begging me to stay on as a teacher."

"puff……"

Fatty Wang burst out laughing: "Uncle Han, if you're from the Capital Beast Taming Academy, then I'm Zhao Yuxuan's dad!"

Zhao Yuxuan: ? ? ?

Chen Xun couldn't help but laugh: "Old man, at least think before you brag. If you graduated from the Capital Beast Taming Academy, I would be the ruler of the Kingdom of Locke right now."

"You two little brats still don't believe me, huh?"

Old Han got anxious, threw the plastic bag on the table, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to pull out evidence.

"Today I'll show you what a real boss is!"

He pulled a crumpled wallet from his pocket, rummaged through it for a while, and finally pulled out a yellowed plastic card, slamming it onto the table with a thud.

See for yourself!

Chen Xun and Fatty Wang went over to take a look.

The card was printed with the emblem of the Capital Beast Taming Academy and a photo of him when he was young.

The man in the photo is wearing a white coat, has a buzz cut, and an arrogant look in his eyes. Although he is young, you can vaguely see the shadow of Old Man Han.

Below is a line of text:

Name: Han Zhou

Student number: 980127

Department: Earth-type Elf Research Institute

Major: Pokémon Studies

There is also a steel seal of the Capital Beast Taming Academy next to it.

Fatty Wang's mouth was wide open.

Chen Xun was also stunned, staring blankly at the student ID on the table, then looked up at the boastful old man.

This old man actually graduated from the Capital Beast Taming Academy?

Or is it from the Elf Research Academy?

"How...how is this possible?"

Fatty Wang stammered, "Uncle Han, you...you really are from the Capital Beast Taming Academy? Then why are you running a run-down secondhand shop in Jiangcheng?"

Old Han snorted smugly, put away the student ID, and stroked his non-existent beard:

"Masters always keep their names hidden. Back in the day, at the Beast Taming Academy in the capital, I was known as the Elf Prodigy. My tactical coordination was unparalleled, and I was invincible throughout the entire school. Later, because I was too handsome, I was pursued by all the girls in the school. Unable to bear the harassment, I took the initiative to apply for retirement and came to Jiangcheng, this paradise, to live a carefree life."

"Come on."

Chen Xun rolled his eyes, seeing through his lie immediately: "I bet you got expelled from school for researching forbidden spirits, right?"

Old Han's expression froze instantly, his face flushed red, and he said stiffly:

"What do you mean by 'expulsion'? That's called voluntary resignation! I did it to pursue higher academic achievements, and I disdained to associate with those conservative old fogies!"

He paused, his tone unusually serious: "But there's one thing I'm not lying to you about: the Capital Beast Taming Academy is indeed the best elf academy in all of China."

"Your parents were my juniors back then."
