Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

"Oh no, Big Potato is awake..."

"Big Potato" is a nickname the students secretly gave to the Wasteland Ridge Dragon—because it's so big and likes to bury itself, it looks like a giant potato hidden in the soil from a distance.

"What should we do? Should we get through?"

Not only Zhu Ran, but all the young men and women about to pass through the school gate were shrouded in pressure.

The feeling was like carrying a hundred-pound lead weight on your back, your chest felt so tight you couldn't breathe, and every step you took was filled with indescribable fatigue.

"What are you afraid of? You haven't done anything wrong."

"But my blue weasel peed its pants... Can't you smell the stench in the air?"

A college freshman couple whispered to each other.

"Don't panic, Big Potato sleeps for five or six days at a time, only waking up once a week. We just happened to run into him."

A short-haired senior student, adjusting her glasses, calmly said:

"Put your pets back first, then line up and swipe your cards one by one to pass through the gate. There won't be any problems."

"Okay, okay!"

The male in the couple, as if he had found his pillar of support, immediately put the curled-up "blue weasel" into his destiny card.

His girlfriend glared at him, hesitated for a moment, and then put the "eagle-headed cat" on her shoulder back.

"Haha, we really made it!"

"Senior, we rarely use the South Gate before. What's the reason behind it? And why do we need to recall the pets?"

Having successfully passed through despite immense pressure, the little boy's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but ask questions.

"principle?"

The short-haired senior tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said:

"You slept like a log. When you wake up, are you hungry?"

"At this moment, with so many snacks walking around in front of you, don't you want to sneak a bite and taste it?"

The freshman girl, who hadn't taken it seriously at first, shrank back upon hearing this, a chill running down her spine.

Yes, in the eyes of a fully grown being, even a mature being is just a crunchy little snack.

"Huh? Someone's got some nerve?"

The short-haired senior was the third to pass through the gate, and the others followed in turn.

She was about to return to her dormitory when she suddenly realized that when it was the seventh person's turn, the other person still had their pet on their back and hadn't listened to her warning at all.

"He must be a senior from the pet-collecting department, right? So confident, not even afraid of a giant potato..."

"I've never seen an ice butterfly on his back before. The left and right wings are different. What kind of species is it?"

The three people ranked eighth, ninth, and tenth knew each other and couldn't help but start discussing it.

When it was the eleventh person's turn, he rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself:

"Isn't that Senior Zhu, the one from the senior year? The guy known as the 'academic maniac'..."

"A study fanatic!"

The murmur was soft.

However, the beast tamer's five senses are superior to those of ordinary people, and since they are very close at the moment, even the slightest sound cannot be hidden.

"That super-achiever who supposedly spent every day in the library throughout elementary, middle, and high school, and ended up ranking third in the entire province?"

"I think I've heard of it before..."

A murmur of discussion arose.

The short-haired senior—oh no, now she should be called the short-haired junior—still had her brows furrowed.

Little did they know, Zhu Ran was also secretly complaining.

Do you think I don't want to recycle the broken-winged frost butterfly?

At the first level of life realm, possessing a second-tier sealing card requires a significant expenditure of mental energy whether it is used to retract or release it.

He spends the afternoon making potions and the evening testing souls. If I were to forcibly take his soul now, wouldn't he faint on the spot?

"Ee..." (Ծ‸Ծ)

The broken-winged frost butterfly was terrified.

Dragon!

That's a dragon!

Although when they were in the incubator, it seems there was a lazy, clueless breeder who played the tape "Even insects can transform into dragons" on repeat every day.

Tiny spark worms could potentially evolve into sky overlords... Doesn't that sound exciting?

But everyone says that person is a simpleton!

Only by personally experiencing the oppressive power of the dragon race can one realize one's own insignificance and helplessness...

"Don't be afraid, I've got your back!"

When it was extremely terrified, Zhu Ran suddenly poked its belly.

Then, as he passed the dragon head, he stood tall and met its gaze with unwavering confidence.

The Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly was extremely suspicious that if the difference in their cultivation levels weren't so great, its master might have even reached out and crushed that dragon's head.

sky……

There are such fearless humans in the world!

If I follow him, will I die young?

(ó﹏ò｡)

"They're all so cowardly!"

Zhu Ran shook his head, his gaze settling on the weeding tools at the edge of the lawn.

Even though he had already passed through the gate, he grabbed the rake and strode back to the Wilderness Spine Dragon.

"Watch closely."

Zhu Ran sprinted forward, swung his rake with all his might, and delivered a powerful blow to the back of the barren ridge dragon's head.

"Bang!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

The barren ridge dragon was completely unharmed.

Zhu Ran, however, was jolted by the force of the recoil, his hand on his hand throbbing with pain. When he turned his back, he couldn't help but grimace.

Looking cool is indeed a skill...

But he'll do it again next time.

Why are you hungry!

Look closely, they were just bored! And their scalp was a little itchy too!

Senior Long guards the gate every day, faithfully protecting the students. As a senior, how can I stand idly by and let him suffer?

"Senior, senior!"

"Let's talk this out calmly!"

"On a dark and stormy night, someone is beating a giant potato with a rake... Where are the security guards? This could lead to someone getting killed!"

Not far away.

The couple held hands, their faces pale.

The short-haired female student was also taken aback. Had this senior gone mad? Was he upset and came here to take revenge on society?

"You can't see me, you can't see me..." The other junior students silently kept their distance, afraid of being resented by the big potato.

"Haven't you taken any courses like 'Pet Micro-expressions' or 'Pet Behavioral Logic'?"

Zhu Ran remained expressionless, but her tone conveyed a sense of disappointment and frustration.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, he commanded the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly:

"Little Butterfly, aim for its head and unleash Ice Wheel Slash!"

"Ee...Ee?"

(｡•ˇ﹏ˇ•｡;)

Call...call me?

The broken-winged frost butterfly is still in a daze.

It wouldn't matter who it was; the short-tempered master provoked the superior dragon clan at the slightest disagreement, and it was already contemplating its fate!

The situation is never-ending; are they going to push it into the fire?

—I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just my imagination.

The Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly simply closed its eyes, pretending not to hear!

"Senior Long has seen thousands upon thousands of snacks, what difference would one more make?"

"Have courage! Summon your courage and prove you're not a coward!"

Zhu Ran really wanted to take out his phone and play a passionate background music for Xiao Die Die.

Didn't you see that when Senior Long was hit by the rake, there was a hint of unsatisfaction flashing in his vertical pupils?

This is our future "beast vein," so if we maintain a good relationship, we'll make a killing!

"Eek!" <(>﹏<;)>!

The broken-winged frost butterfly was going all out.

It really couldn't stand being stared at by the higher-ranking dragons!

—Ice Wheel Slash!

Clang!

Ice wings like knives, spinning and crashing down.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The Barrens Ridgeosaurus shook its head, accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground, and actually squinted its eyes in comfort.
