All-People Beast Taming: I Can See the Evolution Path.

Chapter 33 Becoming an Apprentice of Long Tianqiong!

Dawn City, at the teleportation array.

Ye Fan led Li Junyun out from inside.

"Is this the location of Azure Dragon Academy—Dawn City?"

Looking at the towering, colossal buildings before him, Ye Fan couldn't help but marvel.

In his memory, Maple Leaf City, though only a medium-sized city, was already quite prosperous. But to his surprise, compared to the prosperity of the metropolis Dawn City, Maple Leaf City seemed so small and insignificant.

"Ye Fan, where are we going now?"

Li Junyun looked around and spoke.

After regaining his senses, Ye Fan spoke to Li Junyun.

"Tomorrow is the day to register at Azure Dragon Academy. You should find a hotel to stay in first. I have some things to do and will come to find you later."

"Okay, fine!"

Seeing that Ye Fan didn't want to say more, she didn't ask anything further and obediently nodded.

After watching Li Junyun leave, Ye Fan headed towards the Azure Dragon Academy.

Azure Dragon Academy.

"Hello, is Dean Long Tianqiong at the school?"

Ye Fan looked through the window and asked the gatekeeper.

"Who are you? What do you want with the dean?"

"I'm a freshman at Azure Dragon Academy this year, and I urgently need to speak with the Dean!"

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

Upon hearing Ye Fan identify himself as a freshman, the gatekeeper lowered his guard, picked up his communicator, and contacted Long Tianqiong.

Before long, Ye Fan saw an old man dressed in white slowly walking towards him.

"You must be Dean Long? My name is Ye Fan, from Maple Leaf City."

Before Ye Fan could finish speaking, Long Tianqiong interrupted him.

"Alright! Let's get down to business. What do you want?"

"Uh, I want to become your apprentice!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Ye Fan's face.

"Take me as your master? Do you know what you're doing? Let me tell you clearly, the most basic requirement to become my disciple, Long Tianqiong's, is to reach the Spirit King realm! You've only just entered the two-star Spirit Warrior realm, you're far from it! Not to mention the other requirements!"

Upon hearing that Ye Fan wanted to become his disciple, Long Tianqiong immediately laughed.

He is a powerful Spirit Emperor, how could he just take on disciples?

"Actually, I know that with my current abilities, I'm certainly not good enough for you. However, someone told me that once you see this, you'll definitely take me as your apprentice!"

Upon hearing this, Long Tianqiong raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

Seeing this, Ye Fan didn't hesitate and directly took out Li Hongwei's identity jade slip and handed it to him.

"Why do you have his identity jade slip? Could it be that you..."

After Long Tianqiong took the jade slip from Ye Fan's hand, he was stunned. His eyes widened as he stared at Ye Fan in disbelief.

"That's right, just what you think!"

Seeing that he had already guessed that Ye Fan possessed the talent for detection, Ye Fan simply admitted it openly.

"So that's how it is! No wonder you were able to possess his identity jade slip; it seems he hasn't forgotten what happened back then!"

"Hey, come with me!"

After saying that, Long Tianqiong turned and walked into the academy.

Seeing this, Ye Fan quickly followed.

Dean's Office.

"Please sit down!"

Long Tianqiong pointed to the chair and beckoned to Ye Fan.

"Thank you, Dean!"

Ye Fan nodded and sat down.

He looked at Long Tianqiong, who was dressed in white, and thought to himself.

It's unbelievable that a peerless expert at the Spirit Emperor realm would end up like this. It seems that Lin Tian's passing has been quite a blow to him!

"Li Hongwei, how have you been these past few years?"

"The principal isn't doing well. He's still haunted by what happened back then, and his cultivation level has plummeted to the Spirit King realm!"

Ye Fan shook his head bitterly.

"Alas, it's all fate. Even if time could be turned back, it wouldn't change the outcome!"

"Yes! Who can change what happened back then?"

Ye Fan sighed.

How could two people who have just entered the Spirit Emperor Realm possibly escape unscathed when they encounter a group of beast tamers whose cultivation is far superior to their own?

"Alright, alright! Let's not talk about them anymore. Let's talk about you! Are you really willing to become my disciple? You should know that once you become my disciple, it won't be long before the people of the other world and the evil god cult find out about your investigative talent! At that time, you will face endless assassination attempts from these two super powers!"

Long Tianqiong said earnestly.

"Dean, I know you mean well, but I also believe I can handle it. How can one grow without experiencing hardship?"

Ye Fan said firmly.

"Very well! Since you are so determined, then I will accept you as my last disciple! I hope you will use this talent for good, cultivate diligently, and protect this world in the future!"

Long Tianqiong patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, looking very earnest.

"Dean, does that mean you've agreed to take me on as your apprentice?"

"Still calling him Dean?"

Long Tianqiong rolled his eyes.

"Master, I was wrong, Master! From now on, I will be your last disciple!"

Ye Fan grinned.

"Alright! Now that I've accepted you as my disciple, let me give you a gift as a token of my respect!"

Long Tianqiong took out a jade pendant from his storage ring and handed it to him.

"Master, what is this?"

Ye Fan took the jade pendant from Long Tianqiong and asked in confusion.

"This is a delicate jade pendant, containing the power of my attack! If you encounter a powerful enemy in the future, you can activate it with your spiritual energy, and it will then be effective! Your senior brother also had one back then; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold off so many powerful figures and buy Li Hongwei time to escape!"

Long Tianqiong explained.

"I see!"

Ye Fan looked at the exquisite jade pendant in his hand, a look of joy appearing on his face.

A full-force attack from a Spirit Emperor realm expert? How terrifying would that be!

"Don't be too happy yet. If you encounter someone who can force you to use the exquisite jade pendant, you're probably not far from death!"

Seeing Ye Fan looking at the exquisite jade pendant with delight, Long Tianqiong couldn't help but pour cold water on his enthusiasm.

Why?

"Do you think you could survive the aftermath of that battle?"

Long Tianqiong asked calmly.

"this"

Upon hearing Long Tianqiong's words, Ye Fan's heart trembled.

Yes, his cultivation level is only at the second-star Spirit Warrior realm. Under the attack of a powerhouse of this level, can he withstand the aftershocks of the battle? The answer is obvious: no!

"Alright! Don't be too discouraged. I originally planned to give you this exquisite jade pendant after you broke through to the Spirit Emperor Realm. By then, you should be able to withstand the aftershocks released by the jade pendant!"

"The exquisite jade pendant can only be used three times, so you must seize the time and work hard to improve your strength."

Long Tianqiong continued to give instructions.

"Okay, I understand!"

"Then go and rest. Come find me first thing tomorrow morning to register, and I'll take you to the college!"

"Yes, Master!"

Ye Fan cupped his hands in greeting and then left the room.
