Beast Taming: My first spirit beast was a frog junior?

"Brother Xian~, my spotted cat just learned to do consecutive backflips. Do you want to come over to my house tonight?"

"What's wrong with being able to do a backflip? My white jade spider can even dance! Am I being smug?"

"You...you...humph!!"

Outside the gate of Shucheng No. 3 Middle School, Xu Xian watched Xiao Lili's angry departure and smiled disdainfully.

"Wow, Brother Xian, you can even refuse the kind invitation from the beautiful Xiao." Zhou Li said admiringly, but his eyes were full of teasing and sarcasm.

Xu Xian rolled his eyes.

He knew exactly who Xiao Lili was. She was just after his status as a pharmacist apprentice and wanted to use her looks to get benefits.

Who is Xu Xian?

He's a man destined to become a legendary beast tamer; women are just a hindrance!

"Alright, the college entrance exam is over, Li Ge, what are your thoughts?" Xu Xian asked.

Zhou Li shrugged and spread his hands, "What ideas could I possibly have? It depends on how powerful my family is. If I can get you a bronze seed, I'll be awesome. When you get into Shucheng University, I'll protect you."

Xu Xian laughed and said, "Then I'll have to cling to Brother Li's leg tightly."

"Hehe!" Zhou Li wiped his nose.

As an outstanding student among the graduates of Tree City No. 3 Middle School who has passed the simulated "Soul Blood Pact" assessment, I possess the ability and qualification to contract spirit beasts. As long as I contract a spirit beast, I can register with the Beast Tamer Association to become a formal Beast Tamer.

Even if the two of them submit blank exam papers, Shucheng University will not let them off the hook.

In this world, becoming a beast tamer isn't just about having a spirit beast.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Li at the fork in the road, Xu Xian carried his large schoolbag across the street to a bus stop and quickly boarded a bus.

On the bus, Xu Xian saw a woman holding a round, cute little dog with pointed ears, white paws, and jet-black fur. As if noticing Xu Xian looking at it, the little dog stuck out its tongue and looked at Xu Xian with a bewildered expression.

A smile appeared on Xu Xian's lips as information about the spirit beast came to mind.

Pointy-eared dog, dark attribute, race level is low-grade black iron, racial talent is strong sniff, possesses the basic skill shriek.

This is a mythical creature often used as a pet or for guard duty.

Because of their gentle and pleasing nature and extremely low aggression, many people who have not been able to learn the Soul Pact choose to keep one.

With a lifespan of thirty to forty years, and being intelligent and lovable, they were once sold for as much as 30,000 yuan each.

The purer the bloodline of a pointed-eared dog, the more captivating its expression becomes; it's so cute that every frame is a potential meme.

When Xu Xian looked at the pointed-eared dog, many people also looked at the cute little animal.

In this world, to become a beast tamer, one must learn the soul blood pact that allows one to form a contract with spirit beasts.

Otherwise, ordinary people who want to raise spirit beasts can only choose spirit beasts with extremely low danger.

Otherwise, it is not allowed to be brought into public places at all.

Furthermore, each spirit beast must be registered and reported after it has been raised.

The authorities manage this very strictly, but it is precisely because of this that public security has been improving in recent years.

I stared at the cute pointed-eared dog for a full hour.

In the northern part of Shucheng, in Yuzhu Town, Xu Xian finally arrived home.

Perhaps because it was a suburban area, Yuzhu Town was not very prosperous. Xu Xian walked around with his backpack and there weren't many pedestrians. He did see some boys and girls of similar age to him, but some were happy and some were sad.

Students like Xu Xian, Zhou Li, and Xiao Lili, who are outstanding even if they score zero on exams, will definitely get into university, and it will be the best university in the entire Tree City, Tree City Spirit Tree First University.

Although it's just average across the entire Dragon Kingdom, it's still incredibly popular compared to schools that don't even offer a Beast Tamer major.

Xu Xian's home is also near the edge of Yuzhu Town.

A two-story self-built house, the exterior of which is not tiled.

In Xu Xian's father's words: Instead of doing all this, we should save the money and build up some savings for our eldest son.

The door was open and not closed.

As Xu Xian approached, a woman carrying a six or seven-year-old girl walked out of the gate.

The woman looked somewhat tired, but the wrinkles around her eyes couldn't hide her beauty.

The little girl was fair-skinned and chubby, and her round face made her giggle when she saw Xu Xian.

"Mom, Xiaoyingzi," Xu Xian called out.

"Brother, I want a hug." Xu Ying ran forward and hugged Xu Xian's leg in a childish voice.

Xu Xian smiled and picked her up, nuzzling her close. He then looked at his mother, Liu Ruyan, and asked, "Mom, where's Dad?"

Today is the day his college entrance exam ends. It's one thing that Xu Han didn't come to pick him up, but why isn't he home?

Liu Ruyan looked somewhat worried and said, "There's been a problem with the sale of fruit from the orchard lately, and your father is handling it."

Xu Xian frowned. He had been living at school until today, when he left to return after the college entrance examination.

"It's been a few days, are you alright?"

"It'll be over in the next couple of days, it's nothing serious. This isn't the first time your dad's encountered something like this. He'll be back once he's taken care of it."

As Liu Ruyan spoke, she laughed and said, "Little fairy, your father has been using a lot of connections lately for you. Guess what kind of spirit beast he's prepared for you?"

Xu Xian looked embarrassed. "Mom, could you please stop calling me that?"

Fortunately, this way of calling him only exists at home; otherwise, if Zhou Li found out, he might laugh at him for a long time, and this thing might even become his exclusive title in the future.

He shook his head, his heart filled with anticipation for Xu Han's preparations.

After putting down his backpack and playing with his younger sister Xu Ying for a while, Xu Xian, seeing that Xu Han wouldn't be back anytime soon, said, "Mom, I'm going to check on the orchard."

"Go ahead, and call your sister Bai back while you're at it." Liu Ruyan waved her hand.

"understood."

Xu Xian responded and headed lightly toward his orchard.

The area surrounding Yuzhu Town is mostly populated by fruit trees that are then sold to the outside world.

The tree being planted is a fruit tree called the Jade Spider Tree.

Xu Xian quickly took a shortcut to his own orchard, which was surrounded by iron netting and contained rows of three-meter-tall fruit trees.

On the lush branches and leaves of the fruit trees are plump, translucent, and juicy white fruits, each the size of a fist.

And among the lush green branches and leaves of these fruit trees, besides the fruit, there are also countless spider webs.

Xu Xian took the key and entered his own orchard, which was surrounded by automatic tracking cameras.

As Xu Xian entered the orchard, the cameras started to move.

Because of this action, in the center of the orchard, a white object suddenly opened eight eyes.

Then, its eight legs moved quickly, and Xu Xian only took two or three steps before he descended from the sky.

"Sister Bai!" Xu Xian stretched out his arms and hugged the white figure.

It has a body the size of a millstone, a furry body, eight adorable eyes like bright red agate, and is pure white like jade.

Despite being a spider, it doesn't look ferocious at all; instead, it's as cute as a pointed-eared dog.

The White Jade Spider, a low-grade Black Iron Spider, possesses the racial talent of weaving. Its eight legs are extremely agile, allowing it to easily weave large webs. Like the Pointy-Eared Dog, it only has one basic skill: Jade Silk.

The silk of the white jade spider is very competitive in the market, and high-end silk fabrics are made from its silk.

"Chirp~!" The white jade spider rubbed its face against Xu Xian's face, its eight eyes narrowed into slits, clearly very happy about Xu Xian's arrival.
