Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 51 The First Lesson

"Alright, take back your pets." Zhou Mengran raised her hand, stopping the Kongling Bluebird from continuing its attack.

The Kongling Bluebird let out a soft cry, gracefully flipped in mid-air, and flew away.

Without the wind's influence, the pets that had been blown away finally stood up one by one.

Gu Ling looked intently at the Kongling Bluebird flying in mid-air: "With just one Wind-Gathering skill, ten extraordinary-level pets were rendered powerless. The strength of a Lord-level pet is ridiculously strong."

This is not only Gu Ling's sentiment, but also the sentiment of all the students present.

A lord-level pet beast... terrifying indeed!

Zhou Mengran looked at the crowd again and continued, "Everyone ranked after 10th, please step forward."

After witnessing the overwhelming power of the Kongling Azure Bird, the 15 students whose names were called stepped forward, summoned their pets, and prepared for battle.

But then, Zhou Mengran pointed to a white line on the ground beside her feet: "If your pets can cross this line within 5 minutes, they will not need to undergo special training for the next month, and you can allocate the time as you wish."

Upon hearing these words, the 15 students who were prepared to be tortured were stunned.

How do I get to that line in 5 minutes?

The distance is only about ten meters. It would take more than a minute, let alone five minutes.

Zhou Mengran raised her hand and conjured another summoning array.

A pet beast floated out from within the summoning circle.

The beast, covered in yellow fur, sat cross-legged with its eyes closed, suspended in mid-air, holding a purple bead in each hand, like an old monk in deep meditation.

It appears to be harmless, but the aura emanating from it is no less than that of the Kongling Bluebird beside it.

Amidst the astonished stares of all the students, Zhou Mengran slowly explained, "This is my other Lord-level pet, Lakssa, a Psychic-type."

"Start the timer now." After saying that, Zhou Mengran tapped the start button on the stopwatch app on her phone.

Seeing this, the 15 students quickly directed their pets to run towards the white line.

But just as these pets took a few steps, a vast spiritual force field emanated from Laksa's body, carrying an aura as heavy as Mount Tai, directly pressing the 15 pets to the ground, unable to move an inch. Even the flying pets that were flying in the air could not take off and fell to the ground.

"Meteor Swallow, are you alright...?"

"Electric Bull, stand up! Charge to the other side..."

"..."

Upon seeing this, the 15 students nearby immediately cheered on their pets.

But as time passed, five minutes later, not only could no pet cross the white line, but no pet could even take another step forward.

After the results came out, the 15 students dejectedly put their pets away.

Zhou Mengran looked at the students, most of whom she had just demoralized, with satisfaction, and shouted, "This is the first lesson of the semester, meant to teach you to recognize one thing—that you are all just newbies!"

"Don't think that just because you all stood out from hundreds of people and entered the elite beast taming class, you're so great. All thirty of you combined can't beat three bronze-level professional beast tamers."

Hearing this, some people were indignant, but remembering their embarrassing performance just now, they could only lower their heads and remain silent.

Although no one talks about it, everyone who gets into the elite Beast Taming class feels a sense of pride.

Now, this pride has been easily punctured and crushed by Zhou Mengran.

"The remaining top 10, step forward."

Zhou Mengran's voice was slightly stern: "Defeat Laxxa within 10 minutes. To be fair, my Laxxa will not use any damaging attack skills on you."

Of the remaining 10 students, all except Gu Ling summoned their own pets and then stared intently at Laksa, which was suspended in mid-air.

"Let's begin..."

As soon as Zhou Mengran spoke, the other nine students unanimously ordered their pets to use various skills to attack Laksa with all their might.

"Shielded Dragon, use Dragon Claw!"

"Mini doll, use your shadow to ambush!"

"..."

Various dazzling skills were launched at Laksa, but Laksa dodged them all with a teleportation.

When their first attack failed, all the pets scattered and chose to surround Laksa from all sides.

Gu Ling watched as Laksa used teleportation to dodge attacks in mid-air and fell into deep thought, choosing not to let Xian Jiu launch an attack as well.

"There's no way we can beat Teacher Zhou's Laksa with just a few of us. A direct assault won't work, so is there any roundabout way...?"

Zhou Mengran, on the other side, crossed her arms and said, "It's useless. If this is all you're capable of, you won't be able to hit Laksa."

Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through Gu Ling's mind.

"Xian Jiu, come here for a second." Gu Ling quietly called Xian Jiu back and whispered a few words in Xian Jiu's ear.

Xian Jiu, who had been looking puzzled, widened her cat-like eyes instantly after hearing Gu Ling's "bold plan": "Meow?" Are you sure you want to do this?

Gu Ling nodded: "Just listen to me, no problem."

Seeing that her beast tamer insisted, Xian Jiu had no choice but to agree, and even clenched her little paws to encourage herself.

Zhou Mengran, sitting opposite Gu Ling, naturally noticed these little actions and couldn't help but feel curious: "Gu Ling, the top student in the Beast Taming Class, you wouldn't be running away at the last minute, would you? Or are you up to something...?"

Before Zhou Mengran could figure it out, Gu Ling's voice came over:

"Swordsman 9! Use high-speed movement!"

Xian Jiu's eyes were fixed on Laksa. Upon hearing Gu Ling's command, her petite body sprinted across the battlefield, so fast that only afterimages remained.

Seeing that Gu Ling finally sent Xian Jiu into battle, but didn't use an attack skill directly... something's strange!

Zhou Mengran frowned in thought: "Does it mean they want to approach Laksa using high-speed movement? Or do they want to block Laksa's movements?"

Just as Xianjiu was about to approach Laksa, Xianjiu used Instant Teleportation before Laksa could react!

Laksa, who was about to escape, was stunned for a moment.

No one understood Gu Ling's intention.

The next second, Xian Jiu appeared behind Laksa, and was facing Zhou Mengran directly!

Gu Ling's lips curled slightly: "Xian Jiu, use 100,000 Volts!"

"Meow~"

Xian Jiu's hair stood on end, condensing into lightning power. The thick lightning bolts, like a serpent pouncing on its prey, actually struck towards Zhou Mengran!

Laksa, who thought it was going to attack him, was startled and quickly teleported in front of Zhou Mengran, hastily creating a reflective barrier to block the 100,000 Volts.

"Gu Ling... has she gone mad?" one of the students asked, his voice trembling.

But at that moment, Gu Ling shouted at Pei Gang and his group of nine, "What are you all standing there for? Laxus is too scared to teleport away, hurry up and unleash your skills!"
