Taming beasts is not as good as taming yourself

"It really is true that what you say comes true."

Wu Xiao opened the message, which contained a notification about the end of the special training, along with a regrouping command.

Without hesitation, Wu Xiao left the dormitory and hurried towards the assembly point. When Wu Xiao arrived at the assembly field, more than a dozen boys and girls were standing straight, showing that the special training had been very effective.

However, Wu Xiao's appearance immediately brought these boys and girls back to reality. They all looked at Wu Xiao with curiosity and doubt in their eyes.

"Who is this? Is he a newcomer too? I've never seen him before?" Whispers rippled through the crowd.

"Quiet!"

Yang Wukong gave a soft shout, and immediately all the whispers disappeared. In the past three months, Yang Wukong had firmly secured the nickname of "Devil Instructor".

"Newcomer Wu Xiao, reporting for duty!" Wu Xiao stood up and bowed.

"Join the team."

Yang Wukong sized up Wu Xiao. After three months apart, this little monster seemed a bit different.

But the thought that the special training was over put Yang Wukong at ease.

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiao immediately retreated to the back of the line.

"Instructor, why doesn't he need special training? This is unfair!" Seeing Yang Wukong casually let Wu Xiao return to the team, some people immediately became dissatisfied. They had endured such hardship for the past three months, but some people didn't have to suffer. How could they tolerate this?

"No one gets special treatment here. As for why Wu Xiao didn't need special training, it's because he's already passed all the training subjects. And you guys..." Yang Wukong's gaze swept over them, and trash talk spilled out, "You bunch of weaklings, if I hadn't gone easy on you, none of you would have passed the test. Now you have the nerve to spout nonsense here!"

"Instructor Yang is that fierce!"

Listening to Yang Wukong's constant stream of trash talk, Wu Xiao couldn't help but marvel. He had previously thought Yang Wukong was a very serious and rigid instructor.

The group of newcomers, who had been thoroughly scolded, all looked grim. They were all geniuses who had come from the Sprout Academy, and naturally, they had the arrogance of geniuses.

They were convinced of Yang Wukong's overwhelming strength, but they were not convinced of Wu Xiao's. They were all newcomers, so why should the other party receive preferential treatment?

For three whole months, they underwent grueling, devilish training, while Wu Xiao could use those three months to cultivate his skills as a Beast Tamer. Originally, everyone was on the same starting line, but now someone had taken the lead.

So far, the newcomers all feel that these three months of special training is a waste of time. Physical training is just a minor detail. They are all future beast tamers and should strive to make great progress in the art of beast taming.

Three months have been wasted for nothing. If it were a collective waste, it would be one thing, but now someone who didn't participate in the special training has arrived, which has immediately caused dissatisfaction among everyone.

Yang Wukong naturally saw the dissatisfaction in everyone's eyes, and he was also a bit troubled by it. However, if he let Wu Xiao participate in the special training, he would lose his reputation as a devil instructor.

It's not that Yang Wukong cares too much about the title, but having the title of "devil instructor" will make training new recruits much easier in the future, since a person's reputation is well-known.

Upon hearing the title of "Dragon Instructor Yang Wukong," the new recruits naturally put aside many unnecessary thoughts, which greatly benefits the successful completion of the special training.

"Newcomers, are you questioning me? Or are you questioning the fairness of the Public Security Bureau?" Yang Wukong said calmly. In order to maintain his reputation as a devilish instructor, Yang Wukong could only remain tough to the end.

Moreover, he truly did not show any favoritism or abuse of power; everything was handled impartially. Wu Xiao's grades were not exaggerated at all; in fact, his excellent grades were only awarded the highest possible score of "excellent."

It was this scoring system that limited Wu Xiao.

Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated. Over the past three months, Yang Wukong had maintained considerable authority, not only in terms of strictness but also in his meticulous and rigorous attitude. Furthermore, the fact that Yang Wukong had implicated the Public Security Bureau made many people feel that the matter was not as they had imagined.

Even if Yang Wukong wanted to operate in the shadows, he should have used a more covert method instead of being so blatant.

Seeing that the doubts had been suppressed, Yang Wukong nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to announce the next steps, a voice came from afar.

"Yang Paopao, I heard you've gotten into trouble." As this voice appeared, a bald man also appeared in everyone's sight.

"Pan the Bald Man, what are you doing here?" Yang Wukong's gaze swept over the bald man.

"I received a report that you abused your power to open back doors for people. As the captain of the inspection team, it's only natural that I had to come and take a look," Pan Lu said with a smile.

"Phew~~"

As the bald man appeared, a boy with a small braid in the new recruits secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The report mentioned by the other party was naturally his doing. He was Lu Xu, the third genius among the new recruits, second only to Ren Yuan and Zhu Jiayin.

Wu Xiao did not participate in the special training, which Lu Xu felt was the biggest blow to him, because he was already close to condensing the contract rune. He could have used these three months to cultivate, condense the contract rune, catch up with Zhu Jiayin who ranked second, and become the second genius to condense the contract rune.

But this special training interrupted his plans. Of course, everyone participated in the training, so Lu Xu had nothing to say, but Wu Xiao did not participate, which was equivalent to giving the other party three months.

If Wu Xiao manages to condense the contract rune before him in these three months, then he will lose his top-three ranking. And this ranking is not just a title; it comes with real benefits.

For example, the reason he can directly contact the captain of the surveillance team right now is because of his third-place ranking. The other party wanted to recruit him into the surveillance team, which gave him the opportunity to contact them in advance.

"Then you see."

Yang Wukong said indifferently. He and Lawyer Pan didn't get along very well, or rather, most people in the Public Security Bureau and the Inspection Team were more or less at odds.

This situation is also what the higher-ups in the Public Security Bureau are happy to see. If everyone is on good terms with the inspectors, how can discipline be maintained?

Who is Wu Xiao?

Seeing that Yang Wukong did not stop him, Lawyer Pan then got to the point.

"I am!"

Wu Xiao took a step forward, never expecting to encounter such a mess. This squad leader of the inspection team must have received the report on short notice. Coming over without investigating the matter thoroughly is a major taboo.

"Someone reported that you got in through connections and didn't participate in the special training. Is that true?" Lawyer Pan cleared his throat and began his interrogation.

"No!"

Wu Xiao said succinctly.

"You're lying. Everyone here can testify that you didn't participate in the special training. I'm questioning you as an inspector now. You'd better tell the truth, or else..." Lawyer Pan's voice suddenly became more forceful. Most kids would be easily intimidated in this situation and would obediently tell the truth.

"Sir, since you don't believe me, why don't you test it again?" Wu Xiao was too lazy to waste words. Since this inspector didn't want to listen to his explanation, Wu Xiao knew a little about martial arts and could probably solve the problem by beating him up.

"Great idea!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wukong immediately agreed. He had been waiting for Wu Xiao to say this. Wu Xiao's results were undoubtedly genuine, but Yang Wukong would not retest Wu Xiao; he didn't want to embarrass himself.

This is why Yang Wukong preferred to use his power to intimidate people rather than use it to silence them. But now that someone else is doing it for him, that would be the best thing.
