High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

Los Angeles.

Tram Line 2.

The car's TV was still playing this year's "Newborn Awakening" promotional video on a loop.

in the carriage.

Many boys and girls in school uniforms were chattering excitedly, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Hehe, I awakened a four-star martial arts talent today, the highest in our class!"

"Oh my god, I'm so envious of my sister. I only have a two-star talent, sob sob..."

"Four stars is nothing! We have a five-star talent in our class!"

"Your class? And you, what star rating?"

"I'm a one-star player! What's wrong?"

"6..."

These are the newly awakened students of Los Angeles No. 1 High School.

Today, they also completed their martial arts awakening ceremony.

Coincidentally.

The girl with pigtails from this morning was among them.

She ignored the expressions on the faces of her classmates, her pretty face tense as she buried her head in her phone.

It seems that her awakened martial arts talent is not very ideal.

Beside her, a boy who looked like a senior student leaned closer and offered words of comfort.

"Oh--!"

Just then.

The girl with twin ponytails suddenly let out a gasp.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the carriage.

Even Lu Yu and Jiang Hao at the back of the carriage subconsciously cast their gazes over.

"Hey, it's that junior from this morning!"

"She even said back then that Lu Yu was very handsome and that she really liked him?"

Fatty Jiang patted Lu Yu on the shoulder with a strange smile on his face.

Lu Yu shook his head helplessly, too lazy to reply.

He was planning to go home as soon as possible, to advance his cultivation level, and to recover Caesar's strength from his injuries.

So he only glanced at it, and seeing that the girl seemed surprised by some news on her phone, he looked away and looked out the window.

But not long after.

Inside the carriage, the name "Lu Yu" began to appear repeatedly.

The group of teenagers all pulled out their phones, and then their faces showed an expression of utter shock!

"Oh my god! Look at the top trending topic on the forum!"

"A video of the Luocheng No. 1 High School entrance exam? Senior Lu Yu? First place?"

"Wow... Is this video real? That black cat is amazing!"

"Keep reading, there's something even more terrifying: Senior Lu Yu's black cat wiped out over a thousand mutated beasts!"

"Damn it! Didn't everyone say Lu Yu was a useless beast tamer? You call him a useless beast tamer?!"

"..."

The students' gasps of surprise grew louder and louder.

soon.

The commotion even reached the other carriages.

More and more people took out their phones and logged onto Los Angeles's "Martial Arts Forum," where they saw the number one trending topic!

Remember that nine-star talent boy from a year ago? After being vilified for switching to Beastmaster, he's back!

It's better to say something than to say it.

This title is indeed cleverly chosen; it's very catchy and full of hype.

The content of the post was also very simple.

In just a few sentences, the results of the final exam at Luocheng No. 1 Middle School were explained: the top-ranked person was the Beast Tamer, Lu Yu!

then.

A video was also attached directly to the post.

That is the video that Lao Wang replayed back then, but it has been sped up, and even the final battle against the gold-eating rats has been given a very exciting background music!

"I knew it!"

"Senior Lu Yu is so handsome, there must have been a reason he chose to become a Beast Tamer!"

"I used to really like Senior Lu Yu, but now I like him even more!"

The girl with pigtails looked extremely happy.

She waved her phone, constantly sharing her joy with those around her.

The frustration of her failed awakening today, with only one-star martial arts talent, seemed to have been forgotten at this moment.

Meanwhile, the simp senior who had been comforting her earlier was now wearing a miserable expression, and it seemed like his green baseball cap was glowing...

"Damn, Yu-ge, you're a real celebrity now!"

Fatty Jiang put down his phone, winked, and nudged Lu Yu with his shoulder.

He spoke very loudly, and Lu Yu knew that this guy was definitely doing it on purpose.

That's not...

The voice just fell.

The girl with pigtails immediately looked over.

"Wow!"

"It's actually Senior Lu Yu!"

"What? Senior Lu Yu is in the car too?"

"Senior Lu Yu! Can we see your pet beast? What's its name?"

"Senior Lu Yu..."

Seeing that the group of younger students had all gathered around.

Fatty Jiang patted Lu Yu on the shoulder, gave him a "good luck" look, and ran off in a flash.

Lu Yu: "..."

Damn it!

Choosing friends carelessly will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes!

……

……

7:40 PM.

Exhausted, Lu Yu finally returned home.

Under Jiang Pangzi's pranks, Lu Yu was forced to experience what it's like to be a 'celebrity'.

Finally, the tram arrived at the station, and Lu Yu was able to escape.

"Beep, correct password, please enter!"

Lu Yu unlocked the keypad lock, pushed open the door, changed his shoes, and walked towards the living room.

The house isn't big, with three bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom, but it's very clean and spotless, with the floor tiles reflecting light.

"Xiaoyu, you're back?"

"Hurry up and wash your hands, the food is ready!"

As soon as Lu Yu entered the living room, he bumped into a woman wearing an apron and carrying a bowl of hot soup.

Although the woman was nearly forty and her figure had changed slightly, her former beauty could still be faintly seen in her eyes.

Her name is Fang Yun, and she is Lu Yu's mother's best friend.

When she was ten years old, she came to Luocheng and brought Lu Yu out of the orphanage.

Since then, Lu Yu has been staying here, and Fang Yun has treated Lu Yu as her godson.

"Aunt Fang!"

Lu Yu greeted him, put down his bag, and followed him into the kitchen to serve the dishes and rice.

Not long after.

On the small dining table, four steaming dishes and a soup were neatly arranged.

"Yaoyao, come out for dinner!"

Fang Yun called out.

Click—

The door to the second bedroom was opened.

A girl with delicate features but a cool and aloof demeanor walked out.

Qin Shiyao, Fang Yun's daughter, and Lu Yu's half-cousin.

When Aunt Fang came to see Lu Yu when he was ten years old, she brought her along.

For nine years, Lu Yu and his cousin lived under the same roof.

but……

Over nine years, the two of them probably didn't exchange more than ten sentences in total.

This cousin of mine has a rather aloof personality.

"You, you didn't even say hello when your cousin came back."

"You wouldn't want to hear it anyway, so I'm too lazy to say it anymore..."

As Aunt Fang served rice to the two of them, she kept muttering to herself.

Lu Yu and Qin Shiyao were already used to this kind of scene, so neither of them said anything.

The dinner table.

Aunt Fang was as enthusiastic as ever, constantly serving Lu Yu food and asking him about his situation at school from time to time.

As for Qin Shiyao...

She left him aside, occasionally grumbling about it.

If outsiders saw this scene, they would probably all think that Lu Yu was the biological son!

have to say.

Aunt Fang's cooking skills were truly exceptional; every dish was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making Lu Yu's mouth water.

For a long time.

Lu Yu, whose stomach was already quite full, finally put down his chopsticks and bowl.

He decided to tell Aunt Fang that he would be going to Nanjing in seven days to take the provincial civil service exam.

But at this moment.

pat-

Qin Shiyao put down her bowl and chopsticks, and suddenly spoke:

"Mom, I got a spot in the provincial exam through my school. I have to go to Nanjing in a week!"
