My Card Beast Taming Game

"Let me see."

Zhou Chen opened the Shen Du Academy intranet link that was included in the text message, found the personal score rankings, and saw Utsunomiya Kaori in 10th place, Xing Keji in 31st place, Mei Xian in 41st place, and Gu Xiaobo in 65th place.

Finally, there's Qin Yulan, ranked 213th.

Big Black Bull and the old man of the dead looked at the list together behind him and said, "There are quite a lot of people with scores above 200 this year."

"Indeed, there are quite a few people who can be trained."

"Zhou Chen, take a good look at the list. Maybe you'll find teammates on it who will challenge the dungeon boss with you in the future."

Hearing what Da Hei Niu said, Zhou Chen nodded subconsciously, "Oh..."

Bang!

The door was suddenly kicked open.

A parrot appeared, flapping its wings, and angrily shouted, "You two old geezers are playing dirty tricks too, aren't you! What do you mean! Not letting the child go home after dark? House arrest!?"

Behind it were the familiar golden-haired rat and eagle, and there seemed to be an extra snake.

Big Black Bull chuckled and said, "What are you talking about? I'm just concerned about my student. He's a little tired, so what's wrong with letting him rest?"

"The secret realm exam isn't completely over yet, what are you doing here? You're breaking the rules!"

The old man, now a ghost, adopted the bad cop role, intending to drive the small animals away.

The parrot wasn't happy about that at all, and immediately flapped its wings and flew to Zhou Chen's shoulder, saying, "Come with your uncle, stay away from these bad guys!"

"Who are you, uncle! Get down here!"

The old man, a ghost, made a move to grab it.

For some reason, the room fell into chaos. A group of spirit beasts started fighting without any manners, causing a commotion that forced Zhou Chen to quietly hide in a corner.

Just as he was pondering what to do, the Dharma King Ni appeared.

"Hey! Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat. I know a good restaurant."

The one-horned Chow Chow emerged from the corner, sticking out its tongue and grinning, "Lu Qingning and the others are all waiting for you."

"Okay."

Zhou Chen agreed without hesitation.

But how could their commotion be kept secret from others?

The farce ended instantly, and a group of spirit beasts stared intently at it.

What do you want to do?

"Uh... eat?"

The Dharma King Ni was being stared at by a group of spirit beasts, and his expression was slightly awkward.

The parrot yelled, "Run away! Beat it up! Damn it, I've been wanting to beat up this fat dog for ages! We can't beat up your card master, but we'll beat you up, won't we?"

At its command, the poor one-horned Chow Chow was immediately surrounded and beaten.

Suddenly.

A cold snort came from outside.

"What kind of behavior is this!"

In an instant, all the spirit beasts fell silent and turned to look at the main gate.

A magnificent, multi-horned, multi-eyed mythical beast, pure white as jade and immaculate, strolled into the room. It resembled a lion, a tiger, a dragon, and a deer, truly a divine and unparalleled creature.

It angrily rebuked, "You lot, do you have any semblance of being teachers? Look how scared you've made the child! If you knew us, you'd think we were from the Divine Capital Academy; if you didn't, you'd think we were just market vendors!"

Many spirit beasts lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.

Looking at it, Zhou Chen immediately thought of the description of the One-Horned Chow Chow—the Many-Eyed White Chow.

We'll deal with your problems later.

Du Mu Bai Gao turned his head, exuding a friendly aura, and said, "I'm sorry you had to laugh at me. Our school spirit at Shen Du Academy is free and flexible, and most of our teachers are quite pragmatic. It's understandable that they were excited when they saw your beautiful appearance."

Zhou Chen didn't know how to comment, so he could only nod.

Then, Du Mu Bai Gao said, "We've discussed you more than once. Don't be nervous, it's not that there's a problem, it's just that everyone values ​​your talent."

It paused, then looked at the group of spirit beasts. "Since representatives from all three academies are here, let's get straight to the point: what conditions can you offer?"

The spirit beasts looked at each other in bewilderment.

Big Black Bull stepped forward and said, "Since Elder Bai has spoken, then I won't stand on ceremony. Basic student benefits will remain at the top tier for four years, equivalent to those of school team members; the quiet room will have 10,000 hours of usage time, 1,000 credits per year, and the right to exchange for tactical-level spirit items once."

"We can also arrange for you to join the intermediate card master team, the hunting team when the secret realm lord resurrects. If a card is drawn at that time, you can enjoy 50% of the spirit card reward, regardless of its rank. If you want to stay at the school after four years, we will give you priority consideration."

Having said that, it took two steps back, feeling satisfied.

In Da Hei Niu's opinion, this treatment was absolutely top-notch. Not to mention first-year students, even students on the school team didn't receive such good treatment.

We really value you, Zhou Chen!

Big Black Bull winked at Zhou Chen.

However, the surrounding spirit beasts were not as surprised as it had expected; the large parrot even let out a cold laugh.

"Hehehe, if you ask me, you people from the Secret Realm Academy are so short-sighted! No wonder you're the civil engineering department among card masters!"

"What did you say!?"

The big black bull glared angrily at the parrot.

The parrot ignored him and flew to Zhou Chen's shoulder as if they were old friends. It said, "Don't pay attention to this old miser, listen to me."

It spread its wings and said, "Apart from the Secret Realm Lord Conquest Team, I can meet all the conditions you just mentioned. In addition, you can become a regular member of the school team in the second half of the year. Regardless of whether you achieve good results or not, I will let you go to the Qingjin Global Tournament!"

"If you can achieve good results in two years, we can recommend you for the position of vice-captain, or even captain!"

Upon hearing this, the big black ox stopped chewing, stared with its big bull eyes, and said, "Are you sure? There's only one flexible spot available each year."

"Absolutely certain, absolutely certain, and very certainly."

The parrot chuckled and said to Zhou Chen, "With this resume, whether you stay at the university or pass the exam to join the Card Master Association in Sandu, it will add a glorious and brilliant record to your career advancement. What do you think?"

"Humph……"

The big black ox fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen understood that the competition for the starting positions on the San Du school team and the global competition spots must be extremely fierce, and the parrot was offering a guarantee.

Regardless of his ability to become a starter, he will ultimately be a starter.

Although Zhou Chen felt that he and the Black-feathered White Ape were definitely capable, the other party must have been under considerable pressure to offer such a condition.

"Think about it. Our sports academy has high hopes for you." The parrot flapped its wings and flew away.

Both the Mysterious Realm Academy and the Arena Academy have offered their stakes.

Next, only the Array Domain Academy remains.

Duomu Baigao looked at the fat dog at Zhou Chen's feet and the long snake in the pile of spirit beasts, "What about you?"

The long snake flicked its tongue, "You may speak, Dharma King Ni."

"I'll do it? Okay."

The unicorn lion looked up and said, "One disciple spot from the Xie Zhi lineage, plus all the other nonsense they just mentioned, that's the price offered by our Array Domain Academy."

"What!?"

Big Black Bull and the parrot were furious when they heard this. "Are you kidding me?"

The unicorn chow chow said, "No, Fatian said a long time ago that he would take Zhou Chen in the name of the Xie Zhi lineage."

Duomu Baigao looked at it, "Fatian and Xiezhi are in cahoots? This is not just something to be said casually."

"She's doing it in her own name. They keep urging her to go to work, but she doesn't want to go, so she's planning to train a disciple to go there."

The Chow Chow with its tongue lolling out continued to say to Zhou Chen, "Aren't you interested in the position of head of the local association's criminal department? I've been training a Dharma King Lion that's about my size for the past few years at school, and it can become that position after a year of grassroots experience."

Nima!

The big black ox's face turned even darker.

The parrot stopped chattering.

How the hell can we compete with this? No matter how good their offers are, can they be any better?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen realized the true value of the so-called Xie Zhi lineage—that after graduating and gaining experience for a few years, one could directly become the head of a local criminal justice department.

He quickly lowered his head and said, "To train a Dharma King Lion that is similar to you?"

"Yes, Fatian will provide you with advancement resources, so you don't need to worry too much. If you can advance to the level of Jiezhi Beast, you will have the opportunity to go even further."

The Chow Chow chuckled and said, "A diamond-tier Xie Zhi, are you tempted? There aren't many spirit beasts in the entire Zhuxia with such a high-level advancement path."

The current Zhuxia Association shares many previously secret knowledge, but there are still many secrets that are firmly guarded by various families and even the Card Master Association.

For example, the Spirit Card Evolution Chain.

Starting from the silver and even bronze tiers, all the way up to the platinum tier Dharma King Ni, which transforms into a spirit beast, then to the emerald tier Jie Zhi beast, and finally to the diamond tier Xie Zhi, the resources required for this entire evolution chain are all top secrets that cannot be known to outsiders.

The Chow Chow's words essentially opened a door for Zhou Chen to become a King-level Card Master.

The conditions offered by the Secret Realm Academy and the Arena Academy are only competitive for students, but the one offered by Dharma King Ni is too outrageous.

Du Mu Bai Gao looked at the big black ox and the parrot, "What do you say?"

What else can I say?

The big black bull and the parrot each turned their heads to the side.

They couldn't offer that price. Even if Zhou Chen was a super genius who advanced to the beginner level in just four months, they couldn't find a force that had produced a King-level Card Master to make Zhou Chen their core disciple.

"Is it about getting a guaranteed admission to graduate school or a guaranteed admission to a civil service job?"

Zhou Chen fell into deep thought.

Judging from the terms, the price offered by the Unicorn Chow Chow is definitely the highest, but the Xie Zhi lineage has to compete with established families...

While he hesitated, Duomu Baigao spoke up: "Now that you've finished speaking, it's my turn."

"what?"

"Ok?"

The group of spirit beasts stared blankly at it, "Old Bai, you—"

Du Mu Bai Gao simply extended a warm gesture to Zhou Chen and asked, "Are you interested in becoming my personal disciple?"

Upon hearing this, the black ox and the parrot reacted even more strongly than before.

"Elder Bai, you're going to take on a personal disciple?!"

"Old Bai!"

The one-horned Chow Chow said, embarrassed, "Wow, that's too exaggerated."

Domu Baigao ignored them and continued, "I've taken a liking to your luck, which will greatly help my upcoming promotion."

"transport?"

Zhou Chen was puzzled.

Duomu Baigao explained, "My spirit beast will be renamed Bai Ze upon further advancement. It is an auspicious beast that understands the principles and forms of all things and highly values ​​destiny. If you can become my disciple, my chances of advancement will be much higher."

Zhou Chen tentatively asked, "Are you trying to borrow my luck?"

"Of course not. Bai Ze is a benevolent auspicious beast that only gives and never takes. Your appearance is, in my opinion, my good fortune has arrived, and an auspicious opportunity has come."

Duomu Baigao chuckled and said, "Legend has it that there are four auspicious beasts in the Xia Dynasty: Bai Ze, Qilin, Tengshe, and Bai Xi. Now that Qilin and Tengshe have appeared, it is time for my Bai Ze to appear."

It paused for a moment, then said, "I will pass on the evolutionary chain of Bai Ze to you. In the future, you may choose to follow the same path as me or wish to contribute to the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty."

Zhou Chen's gaze swept over the big black bull, the parrot, and the one-horned Chow Chow. Without much hesitation, he immediately kowtowed and said, "Teacher!"

"Yes, Master!" the one-horned Chow Chow whispered a reminder.

A human-like smile flashed across Duomu Baigao's face as he said, "It's alright. Teacher or master, it's just a title. Get up, my good child. From today onwards, you are the successor of my Bai Ze lineage."
