Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 197 Mind Control Skills (5827 words)

Shen Hongxiu walked up to Teacher Li and said helplessly, "Teacher, could we pay a little less?"

Teacher Li took the lollipop out of her mouth, tilted her head, and said, "You're the first student I've encountered who's ever tried to bargain... This is compensation for damages, a fine! How can you bargain over this?"

Shen Daodao frowned and urged, "Shen Hongxiu! Hurry up and pay the fine and leave! What are you dawdling for?"

Shen Hongxiu glared at Shen Daodao, obediently paid the fine, and said, "Teacher Li, you should leave now. Seeing you makes my heart ache."

Teacher Li turned to the fat man: "Where's your 1,500?"

"..." The fat boy was furious: "Teacher, didn't you see it clearly? I didn't lay a hand on her! She beat me up!"

"She hasn't paid my medical bills yet!"

Teacher Li said sympathetically, "You can negotiate the medical expenses yourselves. I will only charge you compensation and a fine for damaging public property."

"Also, this watermelon is yours, right? You'll have to clean this place up yourself in a bit."

"Okay!" The fat man handed over the money with a dark face.

Teacher Li beamed: "Be more careful next time, don't be so impulsive, okay? How can you not follow school rules and regulations after entering the school?"

Chen Fan and the others glanced at Teacher Li sideways.

The way you look at me, you clearly wish we'd fight to the death.

Besides, we're here for the first time, and we have no idea what the school rules and regulations are.

The group shrugged and walked away, leaving the fat man standing there bewildered in the wind.

The fat boy obediently cleaned up the rotten watermelon, then summoned a huge, thick-skinned black wolf, mounted it, and headed towards the school gate.

……

After leaving the First Martial Arts University, Chen Fan and his group headed towards Shop No. 9.

Chu Xuan walked to Chen Fan's side, glanced at Chen Fan, and then turned away.

A moment later, she glanced at Chen Fan again.

Chen Fan rolled his eyes: "Just say what you want to say. Stop acting all coy like a little wife. What exactly do you want?"

Chu Xuan remained silent for a moment before asking, "What...what is your current cultivation level?"

Ye Hao and the others immediately gathered around, their faces full of curiosity.

Chen Fan blinked: "Okay, let's move on to the second question. Go ahead and ask."

Henry Chu: "..."

Ye Hao: "Although I'd like to know too, Chu Xuan, you'd better not ask. Brother Fan is deliberately keeping quiet to avoid upsetting us."

Chu Xuan: "I'm not afraid of being provoked."

Chen Fan: "You really want to tell me?"

Chu Xuan: "Mm."

Chen Fan: "Is it absolutely necessary to tell?"

Ye Hao: "Hey Fan-ge, hurry up and tell me! I'm so impatient!"

Chen Fan held up four fingers.

Everyone stopped in their tracks.

Shen Daodao narrowed his eyes: "Brother Fan, although you are... a monster in our hearts, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"

Li Fengxing nodded: "Monster!"

Shen Hongxiu and Fang Qingqing exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise and frustration in each other's eyes.

Shangguan Canglong and Feng Tianlin exchanged a glance and rolled their eyes at the same time.

Only Shangguan Wulei rolled her eyes: "Chu Xuan is such a busybody... If you hadn't asked this kind of question, I could have been happy all day."

"Your question has made me unhappy for the past few days."

"Is this guy really human? Is it possible that he looks human but is actually of another race?"

"Get lost!" Chen Fan said, "I was being chased in the Broken Soul Mountain Range. I felt surrounded by danger, so I desperately pushed my way up and reached the fourth rank."

"You don't need to be in too much of a hurry..."

"I may not be able to help with other things, but helping you raise animals is a piece of cake."

"You all have three summoned beasts, while Haozi and Canglong have four..."

"It's the simplest way to help you break through by enhancing the power of your beast tamers."

"Aaaaaah!" Shangguan Wulei cried out in a frenzy, "I only have two tamed beasts!"

Feng Tianlin hung his head dejectedly: "I only have two tamed beasts... How did you manage to sign contracts for so many tamed beasts?"

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the entrance of shop number nine.

At this moment, several long queues had formed outside shop number nine, creating a lively scene.

Back then, the ninth shop in Donghai City was really just a shop... once you opened the door, it was just a small room.

Behind the room was a small training ground.

But now, the entrance to Shop No. 9 is as imposing as that of the First Military Medical University.

Looking inside from the main gate, rows of low-rise buildings are arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern.

Looking further inside, the view was blocked by towering trees.

"Hey, Brother Fan, look! Isn't that the fat guy who dropped the watermelon?"

Ye Hao suddenly said, "The fat guy actually got ahead of us?"

Chen Fan and the others looked up and, sure enough, saw a black wolf carrying the fat man not far ahead.

The fat man dozed off on the black wolf's back, his head bobbing back and forth.

Chen Fan shook his head: "Some people die, but they still live on."

"Some people are alive, but they are asleep."

Ye Hao ran over and shouted, "Fatty! You're not allowed to sleep while driving!"

The fat man was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

He rubbed his eyes, looked closely, and after recognizing Chen Fan and the others, he pouted, "It's you guys?"

"You heard that there's a master beast tamer at Shop Number Nine, so you wanted to come here to train your beasts?"

"Let me tell you, master beast tamers are legendary figures, and very few master beast tamers own beast taming shops."

"Even the most powerful and wealthy families are begging a Grandmaster to breed beasts for them, but the Grandmaster might not be willing!"

"Master Zhang Hai is opening a pet breeding shop; this is an opportunity we absolutely cannot miss!"

Ye Hao and the others all wore Mona Lisa-like smiles, leaving the fat man completely bewildered.

Shen Daodao reminded him, "Your dog is quite big! Be careful not to fall when you get down..."

"Bang!"

Just as the fat man was about to dismount, his foot slipped, and he rolled down like a ball.

He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and glared angrily at Shen Daodao.

Shen Daodao shrugged: "I didn't jump into the well with your wife in my arms, why do you hate me so much?"

Shangguan Wulei and Feng Tianlin subconsciously took a few steps to the side, away from Shen Daodao.

That's a terrible omen, it's terrifying.

Ye Hao said speechlessly, "Fatty, what's your cultivation level?"

"To be recommended for admission to the top martial arts university, one's cultivation level must be quite high, right?"

"Why is it that every time I see you, you seem to trip and fall a few times?"

"First Rank, Fifth Level!" the fat man said somewhat dejectedly, "I've never fallen more than a few times in my life, but after coming to Shanghai, I've run into you guys... This is really strange."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense..."

"I got the reservation number through inside connections at store number nine."

"Judging from your appearance, you definitely didn't get an appointment number. There's no point in queuing. Go back now and don't waste your time here."

Chen Fan smiled and walked towards the entrance of Shop No. 9.

Chu Xuan and his group followed closely behind.

Ye Hao gently patted the fat man's shoulder: "Little Fatty, keep waiting in line, we'll go in first."

The fat man was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, some people from the other teams started shouting.

"Hey, you guys, get in line at the back!"

"What's wrong with these people? Trying to cut in line? How can they be so rude?"

"Stop them! That's shameless!"

The fat guy wanted to shout too, but then he remembered that they were all from the same school, so he held back and shook his head.

At this moment, two staff members maintaining order at the entrance of Shop No. 9 stopped Chen Fan and his group.

One of them said, "Please make an appointment first, and then come here to queue according to your appointment number."

The fat man grinned and said, "These guys are all greenhorns."

Chen Fan glanced inside the gate and said, "Could you please call Zhuo Sheng or Zhang Wei?"

"Calling anyone won't help!" the staff member said with a stern face. "If you want to breed beasts in Shop Number Nine, please abide by the rules of Shop Number Nine."

"Please make an appointment first, and then come here to queue according to your appointment time."

Ye Hao's face darkened, and he was about to speak when Chen Fan stopped him.

Chen Fan dialed Zhuo Sheng's number: "Brother Sheng, I'm at the entrance of shop number nine. Can you come and pick me up? Otherwise, they won't let me in."

On the virtual screen, Zhuo Sheng smiled broadly: "Young Master Fan, please wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

Under the astonished gaze of a group of staff members, Zhuo Sheng and Zhang Wei jogged over.

The group of staff immediately tensed up.

Zhuo Sheng and Zhang Wei are the top managers of Store No. 9!

Although there are several senior beast breeders above them, such as Elder Zhao, those senior beast breeders are so engrossed in breeding beasts that they rarely care about other things.

Therefore, Zhuo Sheng and Zhang Wei are practically at the top of the power structure in this Ninth Animal Breeding Shop.

These two actually jogged all the way here?

Even the big families in Shanghai don't lower their stance this much when they come here.

Under the tense gaze of a group of staff members, Zhuo Sheng waved to them.

A group of staff members walked over, their bodies tense.

At this moment, Chen Fan said, "Don't blame them, it's their duty."

"Yes, I understand!" Zhuo Sheng said respectfully.

Zhuo Sheng led the group to the side, cleared his throat, and said, "This gentleman is named Chen Fan, and we respectfully call him 'Young Master Fan'."

"He is Master Zhang Hai's only disciple."

"He is also the true owner of Shop No. 9."

A group of staff members were dumbfounded.

Master Zhang Hai's only disciple?

The owner of Shop No. 9?

Because of what Chen Fan had just said, Zhuo Sheng did not blame everyone. He simply gave them a few instructions and then sent them back to their work stations.

Led by Zhuo Sheng and Zhang Wei, Chen Fan, Shen Hongxiu, and others entered the gate of Shop No. 9 directly.

Behind him, the chubby boy's eyes widened, and his mouth opened as if an egg could fit inside.

"Young Master Fan, Old Zhang went to the Ministry of Education today."

Zhang Wei said, "He said that after you arrived, we would show you around first."

"In addition, Mr. Zhang asked me to tell you that our Shop No. 9 and your residence, Young Master Fan, are adjacent. If you come down from the small hill behind your residence, there is a mountain path that directly connects to our Shop No. 9."

"If you follow that mountain path, you'll reach shop number nine directly."

Chen Fan nodded: "Okay, take me to the training ground."

At this point, Chen Fan became a little excited.

Finally, I can start breeding animals again...

Bring on the beasts with even greater ferocity!

Led by Zhuo Sheng and Zhang Wei, Chen Fan and Chu Xuan got into a car and drove around the training grounds.

This ninth shop is practically like the Animal Breeders Association of Donghai City.

The training grounds are separated by high-voltage power grids.

Each training ground has no more than five tamed beasts.

Outside each training ground, there are powerful Star Warriors guarding it.

Chen Fan turned on his "computer" and checked the attribute panel of the beasts in each training ground, then recorded all the information needed for evolution and upgrade.

Chu Xuan and Ye Hao were alright, as they had already witnessed Chen Fan's abilities before, so they weren't too surprised.

But Shangguan Canglong, Shangguan Wulei, and Feng Tianlin were stunned.

What is Chen Fan doing?

Can you determine the species, name, and combat power level of a beast with just a glance?

Is the disciple of a master beast tamer really that terrifying?

Feng Tianlin turned his head and glanced at the beast taming in a training ground outside the window.

Of the five beasts inside, he only recognized two: a fire rat and an iron hedgehog.

The other three looked strange, neither like a cow nor a tiger, and no one knew what they were.

A deep sense of frustration rose in Feng Tianlin's heart.

Last time, Shangguan Canglong told him that he should just focus on his cultivation and not always compare himself to Chen Fan, because comparing himself to that monster would only damage his self-confidence.

Now Feng Tianlin understands the meaning of those words.

This is truly a monster...

Although he thought this to himself, Feng Tianlin couldn't help but ask, "Chen Fan, what exactly are you doing? Recording data on these beasts?"

Chen Fan didn't even look up: "Mm."

Beside him, Li Fengxing squinted at the beasts in the training field outside, chanting, "Heaven's way is Qian, Earth's law is Kun, Gods and demons are separated into two realms, open your eyes, see the true form!"

Feng Tianlin frowned and kicked Li Fengxing: "What are you doing now?"

Li Fengxing turned his head: "Kick me again, and I'll beat you to death!"

Feng Tianlin: "..."

irritable.

Even Ye Hao was no match for him back then.

In the blink of an eye, I became the bottom one.

Even that idiot Li Fengxing is so arrogant now.

However, there was nothing he could do. Although Li Fengxing's cultivation level was not as high as his, the combat power and racial level of Li Fengxing's three beasts were stronger than his beasts.

If he really fought Li Fengxing, he might actually be killed by him.

Feng Tianlin rolled his eyes and said, "I just saw you acting all mysterious and wanted to ask you what you were doing. Why are you looking so fierce?"

Li Fengxing smiled mysteriously and said, "This is the Heavenly Eye Incantation that Brother Fan taught me."

Feng Tianlin and Shangguan Canglong were both taken aback: "The Heavenly Eye?"

Li Fengxing smiled smugly: "Look what Brother Fan is doing now. He's using his Heavenly Eye to observe these beasts."

Feng Tianlin and the other two: "..."

Ye Hao and Shen Daodao chuckled to themselves, but none of them said anything.

Feng Tianlin switched places with Shangguan Canglong and sat next to Li Fengxing: "Fengxing, tell me, what's this Heavenly Eye all about? What can you see when you chant the incantation?"

"What I can see, I really don't know. I'm still cultivating, I haven't succeeded yet," Li Fengxing said. "But this Heavenly Eye is truly powerful. Back then, outside the Beast Tamer Association, a guy from the Nightmare Court used the stealth skill of a shadow-type beast tamer to hide at the gate, trying to assassinate Brother Fan..."

"As it turned out, Brother Fan saw right through him, then went back to the Beast Tamer Association and got Uncle Qian to come over. They crippled that guy in no time."

"When we were training in the secret realm, we relied on Brother Fan's Heavenly Eye to spot high-level monsters, and that's how we managed to get through unscathed."

Feng Tianlin's eyes widened: "That amazing?!"

"Teach me, I want to learn too!"

Li Fengxing glared at him and said, "This is the Heavenly Eye!"

"Is this something that can be taught simply by preaching?"

Feng Tianlin gritted his teeth, put his arm around Li Fengxing's shoulder, and whispered, "I'll give you 500,000 Alliance Coins, and you teach me the spell."

"I promise I will never tell anyone, not even my own father!"

Ye Hao gently patted Feng Tianlin on the shoulder and said, "Give me a million, and I'll teach you."

Li Fengxing roared in fury: "Ye Hao, you son of a bitch..."

Feng Tianlin grasped Ye Hao's hand: "Deal!"

A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!

Enraged that his ticket had been stolen, Li Fengxing yelled, "Ye Hao, get out of the car! I challenge you to a duel!"

Ye Hao: "I'll give you 500,000."

Li Fengxing: "That's more like it."

Everyone: "..."

Ye Hao looked at Shangguan Canglong and Shangguan Wulei: "Do you want to learn? One million each... Either you both learn, or neither of you learn. I'm afraid you'll collude to give the same story."

Shangguan Canglong and Shangguan Wulei exchanged a glance.

Shangguan Canglong stammered, "I... I spent all my money training beasts with Chen Fan when I was in Donghai City."

Shangguan Wulei rolled her eyes and shook her head: "I'll learn it later."

If you want to learn it, you have to wait until Feng Tianlin and Li Fengxing have successfully completed their cultivation before you can learn it.

Do you think I'm as stupid as Feng Tianlin?

Ye Hao jumped out of the car and waved to Feng Tianlin: "Come over here, I'll teach you the incantation."

Feng Tianlin was extremely excited and followed Ye Hao over.

Shen Hongxiu and Fang Qingqing both rolled their eyes.

Shameless...

That's really profitable!

Shouldn't we consider not being so reserved in the future?

A short while later, Chen Fan finished recording the beast-taming information for several nearby training grounds, leaned out of the car window, and shouted, "Get in the car quickly, we're about to drive!"

Ye Hao and Feng Tianlin ran back happily.

As soon as he got into the car, Ye Hao turned to Chu Xuan and said, "Chu Xuan, I have a big project. Do you want to invest?"

Chu Xuan said expressionlessly, "Get lost!"

Ye Hao then looked at Fang Qingqing.

Fang Qingqing pouted and turned her head away.

Ye Hao then looked at Shen Hongxiu.

Shen Hongxiu smiled: "Believe it or not, I'll crush you to death?"

Ye Hao sighed deeply: "What about the trust between people?"

"I treated you like brothers and sisters, but you treated me like a liar, sigh..."

"At least let me finish speaking."

The car started moving, and everyone fell silent.

Chen Fan was still peering out of the car window.

Ye Hao said, "You all saw the lively scene outside Shop Number Nine just now, right?"

No one said a word.

Ye Hao said to himself, "I plan to open a shop next to the entrance of Shop Number Nine."

"I haven't decided what to sell yet."

"But no matter what you sell, it's sure to be easy to make money."

"Others can't open shops here, but I'm Fan Ge's brother, isn't shop number nine Fan Ge's?"

"If you're not happy about it, I'll do it myself."

"Anyway, we only need to hire a few people; I don't need to be in charge personally."

"How much money do we get from our families each month? If it weren't for Brother Fan leading us to make a fortune back then, would we be able to afford top-grade Xuan weapons? Would we have so much savings?"

"Be prepared for danger even in times of peace, brothers!"

"We can still go explore the secret realm with Brother Fan in the future, but no one knows how much we can gain there."

"But opening a shop in front of shop number nine, with a steady stream of income, would definitely be a good business!"

"For example, I can sell materials. Ordinary Heavenly Fragrance Glass Marrow Ganoderma might only sell for 150,000 Alliance Coins elsewhere, but I'll sell it for 220,000 here... We're the only officially recognized partner shop of Shop No. 9, so even if the price is a bit high, those guys outside will definitely scramble to buy it!"

There are actually many ways to make money; the key is whether you're willing to do them.

Everyone: "..."

Chen Fan glanced at Ye Hao speechlessly.

It has to be said that Ye Hao does have a knack for business.

He tricked both Shen Daodao and Li Fengxing.

Now Feng Tianlin has also fallen victim to this.

If Shangguan Canglong had money, he probably would have fallen for the trick too.

But then again, what he just said about opening a shop next to Shop No. 9 is indeed feasible.

Even if you can't make a lot of money, making a little money is a piece of cake.

"Snapped!"

Shen Hongxiu slapped Ye Hao on the back of the head: "You've finally been reliable for once!"

"Count me in!"

Ye Hao scratched the back of his head and said, "He was just saying he was going to strangle me..."

Fang Qingqing and Shen Daodao all nodded.

After hesitating for a long time, Chu Xuan finally managed to utter two words: "Feasible."

Sudden……

Chen Fan shouted, "Stop the car! Stop the car!"

With a sudden stop, Feng Tianlin and Li Fengxing were almost thrown out.

Chen Fan jumped out of the car and ran to a training field ahead.

There are five tamed beasts in the training ground.

One of them had an odd shape and looked like an old wooden stake.

However, when Chen Fan looked at the old wooden stake, his eyes flashed with a sharp light!

[Monster Name]: Soul-Nourishing Wood Spirit

[Combat Power Level]: Level 9 (Elite)

[Racial Rank]: High-level Transcendent

[Monster Attribute]: Wood

[Monster Weakness]: Gold

[Racial Skills]: Soul Nourishing Field, Mind Control, Green Wood Arrow, Vine Entanglement

"Mind control..."

Chen Fan's eyes widened.

What a powerful mental skill!
