Taming beasts is not as good as taming yourself

"Boss, that little monster is here."

Upon seeing Wu Xiao appear, the Gale Wolf immediately informed its Beastmaster through the contract that Zhou Shanhai had chosen to summon Wu Xiao alone because it had learned of Wu Xiao's extraordinary abilities from its own pet.

Zhou Shanhai knew his old buddy very well, and it was extremely rare for him to give such a high evaluation as "little monster." Although he had seen Wu Xiao's performance through the assessment video, the video provided too little information; only by seeing him in person could he know more.

Reminded by his old friend, Zhou Shanhai turned around and glanced at Wu Xiao who was walking towards him. The next moment, Zhou Shanhai's body tensed slightly, a gesture he made when facing a powerful enemy.

At this moment, in Zhou Shanhai's eyes, Wu Xiao's every step looked natural, but it was full of rhythm, and he was ready to explode at any time.

It was this attitude that aroused Zhou Shanhai's fighting instincts.

"Greetings, Captain Zhou!"

Wu Xiao stopped ten meters away from Zhou Shan Hai, his stance triggering Zhou Shan Hai's fighting instincts. Similarly, the aura emanating from Zhou Shan Hai made Wu Xiao sense a strong sense of danger. Based on his instinct to avoid danger, Wu Xiao did not approach further.

"interesting!"

Looking at Wu Xiao, who was standing ten meters away from him, Zhou Shanhai's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Although he was a beast tamer and his main combat power came from his pets, a high-level beast tamer like him would still specifically cultivate one or two beast tamer skills for self-defense or attack.

Zhou Shanhai's attack methods are effective within a ten-meter range. The boy before him had actually sensed that distance with pinpoint accuracy. The title "little monster" was truly fitting.

Such a keen sense of danger is what makes a person suitable for joining the police force. The police force deals with all sorts of well-disguised criminals, and many newcomers, and even some veteran officers, are deceived, leading to injuries or fatalities.

"Wu Xiao, I am now formally extending an invitation to you. Would you be willing to join the Public Security Bureau?" Suppressing his emotions, Zhou Shanhai said slowly.

Zhou Shanhai was initially hesitant to invite Wu Xiao to join the Public Security Bureau. Although Wu Xiao was physically strong, the latest academy assessment data showed that Wu Xiao had not been able to condense his spiritual power.

This is a major drawback; no matter how much a human's physique is cultivated, they can never be a match for those naturally powerful pet beasts.

Especially in the later stages, the high-level pets became incredibly powerful.

However, Wu Xiao's keen sense of danger made Zhou Shanhai change his mind. Even if he couldn't concentrate his mental power, there were other means to assist him, but such keen perception was extremely rare.

Even if he can't help in high-level combat in the future, Wu Xiao can still become an extremely outstanding scout, a talent that is even rarer than combat personnel.

"I do!"

Joining the Public Security Bureau was Wu Xiao's original plan, and now that they've sent him an invitation, it saves him the trouble of applying.

"Alright, alright! I'll give you a day to go back and prepare. Report to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow!" Zhou Shanhai nodded in satisfaction. Then, the illustrated guide in Wu Xiao's pocket vibrated slightly, and an unread message appeared. It was a formal invitation from the Public Security Bureau.

"Captain Zhou, there is no one at my home. I can go to the Public Security Bureau to report now." Wu Xiao shook his head, indicating that no preparations were needed.

This morning, he took down an outer member of the Advent Society, and this afternoon he joined the Security Bureau, feeling completely safe.

Wu Xiao's words made Zhou Shanhai's expression freeze. The young man in front of him was a survivor of the Heavenly Fire disaster. In a way, this was an oversight by the Public Security Bureau, which allowed the Descent Society to take advantage of the situation and cause such a disaster.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shanhai's tone softened a bit, "Alright, then you wait here until I'm done and I'll take you to the police station."

This time, the Public Security Bureau selected more than just Wu Xiao; many other trainees also received invitations, and Zhou Shanhai had to make proper arrangements for them.

Zhou Shanhai left, but his pet beast, the Gale Wolf, didn't. The Gale Wolf had no interest in human affairs and couldn't be bothered to join in the fun.

As for whether separating Beastmasters and their pets would cause problems, in principle there would be issues. However, if it's just the distance to the Sprout Academy, it's practically the same as having them by your side. If anything happens, the Gale Wolf can arrive instantly.

"Greetings, senior!"

Looking at the lazy Gale War Wolf lying on the ground, Wu Xiao felt a surge of excitement. He really wanted to test the combat power of a high-level pet beast.

Going into the wild to find unfamiliar high-level pets is suicidal, but this one is clearly worth a try.

"Ouch~ (What?)"

The Gale Wolf howled. Although Wu Xiao did not have the mind communication skills of a Beast Tamer and could not understand what the Gale Wolf was saying, he guessed its meaning from its expression.

"This junior would like to ask for your guidance, senior." Wu Xiao clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Swift Wolf Warrior: "????"

Wu Xiao's words left Gale Wolf completely bewildered. Sparring? What kind of sparring? You're not even a Beast Tamer, do you want to spar by yourself?

Some elite security officers in the Public Security Bureau would ask their pets for guidance in training their own animals, but this was the first time that Gale Wolf had ever heard of a human directly challenging it to a duel.

Gale Wolf admitted that the boy's physique was very strong among ordinary people, capable of shattering the test rock with a single punch, but it was nothing compared to him.

Wu Xiao: "?"

Seeing that the Swift Wolf was in a daze, and unable to glean any information from its expression, Wu Xiao put the matter of learning telepathy on his schedule.

Telepathic communication is an important means of communicating with pets. Of course, pets with contracts can communicate through the contract and do not need the telepathic communication skill, but telepathic communication is very important with non-contracted pets.

"Aww!"

Seeing Wu Xiao's fighting spirit, the Gale Wolf raised its paw. Since its own beast tamer was bored while doing his business, it decided to play with the little guy and let him understand that there was no future in cultivating physical strength in humans.

"Please enlighten me, senior!"

Upon seeing that Gale Wolf agreed, Wu Xiao was overjoyed. Of course, he also knew that the Gale Wolf in front of him, which even the bestiary could not identify, was extremely powerful. Therefore, Wu Xiao was prepared to go all out.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiao's aura suddenly changed.

As Wu Xiao's aura changed, the Gale War Wolf, which had been lying lazily, suddenly stood up with its blue fur standing on end, and its posture changed from lying down to a low, fighting stance—a reaction that the Gale War Wolf would only have when facing a pet of the same level.

"Hmph~~"

Zhou Shanhai hummed an unknown tune as he walked toward the training ground. It was easy to see that Zhou Shanhai was in a very good mood at the moment, naturally because he had recruited some good talent this time.

Sending out an invitation doesn't guarantee that someone will be recruited. True geniuses are sought after by several factions, but this time Zhou Shanhai successfully recruited an apprentice beast tamer who had condensed a contract rune, and the boy's temperament also met the requirements, making him a person with great potential.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Zhou Shanhai's soft humming stopped abruptly. His gaze swept towards the training ground, where he saw a disheveled figure flying backwards from the direction of the training ground.
