The King of Beast Trainers

Xia Country, Beast Trainer League Devil City Branch.

The First Bureau of the Devil City Branch.

A young man dressed in a white suit passed through several security gates and entered a tall building. After taking the elevator to the third floor, he knocked on the door of a certain room.

"Come in."

Wave's Little White Dragon entered the room. Not long after he got involved in the "Green Sea City Extraordinary Ferocious Beasts Escaping Incident," he was summoned by the First Bureau to report on the situation.

The First Bureau was officially known as the Public Safety Guardians Bureau. Its functions were to prevent, stop, and investigate acts of malice involving Beast Trainers and Extraordinary Beings.

The extraordinary Northeast Tiger escape incident in Green Sea City was managed by the First Bureau.

"Captain Li... Is Leader Zhao also here?"

However, what Little White Dragon did not expect was that waiting for him here were not only a division head of the First Bureau but also his own immediate superior, the leader of the New Talent Recruitment Section of the Second Bureau.

"Little White."

After Little White Dragon entered, his superior glanced at him and said with a chuckle, "There are no outsiders here, take a seat first."

"Thank you, Captain," Little White Dragon said in gratitude, but still remained standing.

"Bai Junjie, right? It was you who contacted the First Bureau about the Green Sea City matter, thanks for that," Captain Li of the First Bureau also said with a cheerful laugh.

"It's part of the job. I'm just the messenger; the main problem was solved by that newcomer called Passerby A."

"How much do you know about this newcomer?" Leader Zhao asked.

"Uh, I know a little bit..." Little White Dragon looked somewhat sheepishly at his superior. It's true that Lu Ran had great potential, but he hadn't managed to recruit him.

He hoped he hadn't upset his superior. Oh no, please don't cut my bonus...

"Little White... This Lu Ran, he is a talent, a genius, you must persuade him to join the government," Leader Zhao of the Second Bureau said seriously.

"Take a look at this information."

Little White Dragon took the file from his superior with confusion.

Clearly, despite not much time passing, Lu Ran's information had already been thoroughly investigated.

Name: Lu Ran.

Gender: Male.

Age: 17...

The beginning contained simple information that couldn't be simpler.

Little White Dragon wasn't too surprised about Lu Ran's student status.

The only surprise was the information about academic performance... That guy Passerby A was actually a model student?

Talented in both literary and martial arts?

Soon, Little White Dragon saw the critical point and his expression changed.

"Student Lu Ran is an orphan?"

"Yes, his parents died five years ago."

"Look at his family information..."

Little White Dragon continued reading.

Father, Lu Qiancheng, a zoologist, once served as a professor at Jinling University, later employed as a biological consultant by Nature Life Company, traveled abroad 22 times for wildlife ecological investigations... Author of...

Mother, Lu Yunxiu, a biologist, once served as a professor at Imperial University, later employed as a biological consultant by Nature Life Company, owned several biological medicine patents...

Grandfather, Lu Hai, the head of Lu Family Village, a hunter...

Grandmother, Lu Ying, a veterinarian in Lu Family Village...

Lu Family Village, known as Hunter's Village, where the village head is elected largely on hunting skills...

"Crap." Seeing this shocking lineup of family information, Little White Dragon was dumbfounded.

He knew this Passerby A... Student Luran was not simple, but this origin, it was so genuine! If he couldn't become an excellent Beast Trainer, who could?

It's like the role of Beast Trainer was carved into his blood!

Other Beast Trainers merely have a deep connection with animals and pet beasts, but in Lu Ran's case, going back eighteen generations, it seemed like their professions were all related to animals.

What a tough person!

No wonder he could get a good rating in the Beginner Secret Realm with a Husky, and even subdue an extraordinary Siberian Tiger!

It was just unfortunate that his elders passed away early, including his parents who died young, leaving him all alone.

"You understand now, right?"

"As they say, 'dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes'... and you've seen his talent for yourself. The family education he received is surely not something ordinary people can compare with. Such talent, if it falls into the hands of the civilian Beast Trainer Guilds, would be a real pity," Leader Zhao said regretfully.

"Old Zhao, this person, I'm entrusting him to your Second Bureau. You must recruit him for me. There will be a big reward later! Facing the tiger without any fear and even subduing it, he is naturally a seedling for protecting the nation," Captain Li of the First Bureau said eagerly, looking at Leader Zhao and Little White Dragon.

At that moment... Little White Dragon only felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Perhaps even Lu Ran himself had not realized that it was because of his background that he had caught the government's eye so firmly...

After Little White Dragon left, Captain Li and Leader Zhao put down the file, picked up their cups of tea, and started chatting again.

"Ah, more and more people are becoming Beast Trainers. The League is about to go through a major departmental reorganization. Who knows where we'll be assigned. I hope we can still stay in Devil City..."

"It's tough, no need to worry about so much, just drink some tea."

...

Green Sea City.

Lu Ran and Fang Lan were discussing the details of the Novice Secret Realm they had experienced.

Lu Ran entered the Demon Cat Forest, while Fang Lan entered another map, which was the Spider Cave that Lu Ran had seen before.

All Lu Ran could say was... Fang Lan entering the Spider Cave Secret Realm was like returning home.

"I'm starting to wonder if you need to unlock some hidden plot to get a 3S rating."

"No, didn't you carefully read the prompt when you first entered the Novice Secret Realm? The score is based on 'combat performance'!"

"You probably need to eliminate all the wild monsters in the Novice Secret Realm to get the 3S rating."

"How could that be..."

"Why not? The trial version of the Novice Secret Realm is just a small part of the easy-level Novice Secret Realm, with basically no creatures above level 5. If someone's initial Pet Beast is of the commander level, there might still be hope, right?"

As Lu Ran and Fang Lan's heated discussion was ongoing, Fang Lan's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Fang Lan gasped nervously and said, "It's Doctor Gu!!!"

"Shh, don't talk."

Then Fang Lan answered the call.

"Senior Sister Gu!"

"Fang Lan?"

"Yes, it's me."

The person on the other end laughed and said, "You mentioned before that you were quite interested in the Dungeon Secret Realm team, but after thinking it over, I find you're not suited for it. After all, you're still a beginner, and frontline combat is too dangerous for a girl like you."

"What about the research department?" Fang Lan asked.

"There's currently no one in the research department who has the time to take on a new person..."

"Ah..."

"Actually, I still recommend you continue your studies," Gu Qingyi said. "But not at DC University. Instead, a new university that caters specifically to the Beast Trainer profession."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should start enrolling students in two months. The burgeoning number of fourth-generation Beast Trainers is enough to support a school."

"When the time comes, there will be former combat and lifestyle Beast Trainers from official sources and various guilds teaching at the school, as well as some veteran professors who have been researching Extraordinary Beings for the past three years."

"The school will focus on education and cultivating the mind. During the school period, the goal isn't to challenge Secret Realms, ensuring high safety. After graduation, students can freely choose their paths, whether with official organizations or the Beast Trainer Guild; it's up to them. Think of it as a buffer zone, as most young people can't adapt quickly to the Beast Trainer profession."

"My suggestion is for you to deepen your knowledge here. As far as I know, the university allows for graduation at any time. Once you have a clearer understanding of what suits you, you can make your choice. What do you think?"

Beast Training University?

"I'll go with Senior Sister Gu's advice," Fang Lan replied, surprised. She hadn't expected there to be a specialized Beast Training University. It seemed like the number of fourth-generation Beast Trainers would indeed be substantial.

But... what about her ninth-place provincial exam score... Was it all for nothing?

"I, I, I...!!!"

Lu Ran had excellent hearing and could clearly make out what was being said even though Fang Lan wasn't using speakerphone.

As they reached a crucial point in their conversation, Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

A Beast Training school?!

That sounded far more interesting than Devil University.

He wouldn't go to Devil University.

He didn't want to attend his final year of high school either.

Could he get a direct admission to this university?

Indeed, a school offered far greater freedom compared to joining an official organization or a guild.

In time, he would be able to access important knowledge through the school, and privately, he could level up by solo farming Secret Realms. It seemed like the perfect choice for him.

Most importantly, he was only 17 years old at present. Diving headfirst into Secret Realms now could drive him crazy, he feared. Some interaction with his peers was something Lu Ran considered essential.

"Senior Sister..." Fang Lan saw Lu Ran's hint and said, "I have a brother..."

"He's also been selected as a Beast Trainer and passed the beginner's trial,"

"But he's just about to start his final year of high school. Can he also directly go to this Beast Training University?"

After Fang Lan finished speaking, Gu Qingyi pondered briefly on the other end and said, "That should be fine, but the university seems to be divided into several campuses. They sort students according to their Beast Training talent, so you two might not be placed in the same place."

"With your abilities, you'll have no problem passing the assessment to enter the key campus. As for him, I'm not sure." Gu Qingyi favored Fang Lan but wasn't planning to use too many connections for her.

"That's great, thank you, Senior Sister! We'll just go for the assessment," Fang Lan said gratefully.

"No need for thanks. I look forward to both of you growing up quickly. The progress on Infinite City has been stagnant for quite a while now, and we urgently need fourth-generation Beast Trainers to turn the tide," Gu Qingyi said with a slight smile. "Also, if you have time tonight at 8 p.m., you might want to watch TV."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the authorities should announce the existence of Infinite City and the Black Card."

"Not just Xia Country, but simultaneously around the world... The surge in Black Card numbers has exceeded control..."

"The era of Beast Training for everyone is coming."
