Since Lin Yingxue belonged to Beast Tamer clans as well, she faintly remembered that she had seen this person before. If she remembered correctly, his name was Zheng Qing.
“What do you mean by ‘…should be eliminated as it should be…’? Chen An’s capability is obvious to all. He is bound to pass the final round of assessment.”
Lin Yingxue felt most anxious among all of them. God knew how much she hoped for Chen An to join De Yuan College.
She was still waiting for him here.
Others might not know of Chen An’s ability, however, she knew it very well.
It was very advantageous for De Yuan College to have him as a student.
To put it plainly, De Yuan College was actually the place where Beast Tamer clans concentrated on cultivating their descendants, and the power of bloodline could not be ignored. As long as there were talented descendants, every Beast Tamer clan would send them to De Yuan College.
Most of these people had amazing talents and extraordinary abilities.
Eventually, De Yuan opened its noble and strict door to accept a very small number of young people with potential, and this was how the college gradually developed and became today’s First Beast Tamer College.
The assessment was only for those who wanted to get into the college despite not coming from established backgrounds.
For Lin Yingxue, who was the Glittering Fiery Feather clan’s daughter, she did not need to be tested at all and could directly enter the college.
Lin Yingxue looked at Zheng Qing, and realization dawned on her. “Don’t tell me you’re going to…”
“You’re right.” Zheng Qing nodded. “Indeed, there is no need for me to participate in the assessment, but if I do want to participate, I don’t need any reason. Don’t say that I am being a bully. If it just so happens that I am being matched with the person with the most potential this year for the one-on-one assessment… Well, I wonder who will be the winner and the loser… Oh, I’m… so scared.”
A look of disgust flashed in Lin Yingxue’s eyes. She could not stand his weird way of speaking.
Zheng Qing still had more to say. He looked toward the person seated at the highest position. “Dean, am I right?”
The dean nodded, silently consenting to his plan.
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned. This was trouble.
At the end of the meeting, Lin Yingxue still lingered behind, hesitant to leave. From the attitudes of those people just now, although they did not spell it out so as to preserve each other’s dignity, it was already obvious what they were going to do.
She lingered at De Yuan College, waiting for one person—Zheng Qing!
“Lin Yingxue, I suppose you must have known that Chen An has no bloodline, so you made that suggestion to the college. You are very smart, and you know how to persuade and fool those fogeys to agree to it. However, don’t think that you have succeeded.”
Lin Yingxue felt more and more annoyed at Zheng Qing’s words.
“Why are you doing this?” Lin Yingxue was puzzled. “You are an outstanding talent of the Icicles River Carp clan. Chen An hasn’t hindered you. Why can’t you bear the sight of him?”
Zheng Qing laughed. “Yes, although I haven’t met him, I just can’t stand him. Lin Yingxue, instead of talking to me over here, you should worry about Chen An. When he loses to me in public, how will he be able to deal with it?”
“You!” Lin Yingxue bit her lower lip. She knew very well of Zheng Qing’s capability. As the most outstanding person of this generation in the Icicles River Carp clan, Zheng Qing’s ability was way above her.
In particular, Zheng Qing’s beast was the most representative beast in the clan—the Icicles River Carp. So far, no one fully knew how extensive Zheng Qing had developed and nurtured his beast.
If both of them fought against each other, no matter whether it was Wu Wu’s aptitude or Lin Yingxue’s talent, they would definitely be defeated by Zheng Qing.
“Zheng Qing, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Chen An is a special person. I admit that you are indeed very powerful, but don’t become highly conceited. It would be very embarrassing for you to lose to Chen An.” Lin Yingxue was stubborn. She did not believe in herself, but she believed in Chen An.
“Hahaha, what do you mean? Is it possible that I will lose to him?” Zheng Qing convulsed with laughter.
There were some matters that one just could not be sure.
…
Chen An closed his eyes and sat quietly.
He was not trying to cultivate his moral character, but doing a very important and complicated thing.
[The Taming System has been launched. The Spirit Core System has been launched. The Skills Book System has been launched…]
The complicated systems were presented right in front of him, and the most eye-catching items were the three new indexes.
This was especially so for the Boulder Flower. It was a plant-based beast, so Chen An wondered whether Dou Buxiang could integrate with this plant-based beast or not. If not, what would happen?
Anyway, he should give it a try.
Upon thinking of this, Chen An chose Boulder Flower.
[System Prompt: Undergo integration? Please choose a subject for integration.]
A subject for integration? Chen An was curious. Previously, he had integrated everything with Dou Buxiang. According to the system, it seemed that he could integrate with some other beasts?
[System Remarks: After unlocking index in this system, the host can choose to integrate it with any beast, and it can be integrated with the host as well.]
Chen An was excited. It turned out that he could integrate the index with himself as well. The Silver-Feathered Eagle seemed pretty good, but its master could not make it thrive. He did not know how to utilize the power of the Silver-Feathered Eagle.
He would start by integrating Boulder Flower with Dou Buxiang first.
The integration speed was very fast with the system’s help. Dou Buxiang’s appearance underwent another change, though it was not as drastic as the time before.
A small pink-purple dot appeared on its forehead, in the middle of the two horns, and slowly converged before it was deeply entrenched on its forehead. If one did not take a careful look, they would not notice it.
Chen An leaned over, squinted his eyes, and realized that there was a Boulder Flower in the center of the small dot. It seemed like a flower that was sealed in resin and would never wither. This was like a beautiful sight that would never fade away.
Dou Buxiang had high compatibility. Since it was able to integrate with plant-based beasts, there was nothing he had to be worried about.
When Chen An unlocked new indexes in the future, he could integrate as many as he wanted.
But before that, he wanted to integrate Silver-Feathered Eagle and Spirit Rainbow Deer. He was curious about the outcome and effects.
Chen An selected both of them in the beasts indexes, and the system sent him a reminder.
[Integration begins.]
Chen An felt a warm sensation in his body, spreading slowly from his fingertips to his heart. It was not uncomfortable, but he felt slightly sweaty.
The warm feeling lasted about ten minutes before it gradually subsided.
[System Prompt: Integration completed.]
Was it done? Chen An still could not believe it. He could not see any changes in his body, nor did he experience any obvious changes in his appearance like Dou Buxiang.
Could it be an integration of skills? Chen An wanted to give it a try, so he stretched out his hand, waved his fingertips, and made a gesture in one direction. Then, sharp silver feathers flew forward like sharp arrows.
They trailed like a streamer, briefly passing in front of his eyes. A silver feather was firmly embedded in the place where Chen An pointed at, with tiny cracks all around it.
One glance, and he could tell this was the skill of the Silver-Feathered Eagle.
But if he remembered correctly, the Silver-Feathered Eagle was a beast with no talent skills?
