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

"Holy crap, Brother Yu!"

"Why are you so excited!"

Seeing Lu Yu's excited expression and even rapid breathing, Fatty Jiang was completely dumbfounded!

He had known Lu Yu for so many years, and this was the first time he had ever seen him so out of control!

"Brother Yu!"

"That's a king-level behemoth, the kind that could wipe out our entire city of Luo!"

"Shouldn't you be very worried... scared when you hear this news?"

Fatty Jiang stared at Lu Yu with a look of utter disbelief.

Looking at Lu Yu's flushed face, he worried that his brother Yu might have been scared silly by the king-level behemoth.

"hey-hey."

"Fatty, tell me more about the King-level behemoths, I'd love to hear it!"

Lu Yu rubbed his hands together like a fly, a rare sight, and leaned closer to ask.

"Brother Yu, you feel like a stranger to me!"

Fatty Jiang muttered something again, then thought for a moment and said truthfully:

"I only overheard the news from my dad last night..."

"Last month, the temple detected abyssal fluctuations in the wilderness east of Los Angeles, and my father took on the mission to investigate."

"That's an abyss! Terrifying beasts emerge from it all the time. Many cities have been destroyed because of the sudden appearance of the abyss!"

"My dad was very worried, so he went there, and guess what happened?"

Fatty Jiang paused, then said mysteriously:

You'd never guess!

"By the time my father arrived, the fluctuations in the abyss had disappeared, but traces of a giant beast had appeared nearby!"

"It's said that one of the giant beast's footprints was over ten meters long!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said:

"The behemoth has emerged from the abyss?"

Fatty Jiang nodded repeatedly and said:

"That's what my dad and the others speculated too!"

"My father originally wanted to report this to Jinling and have them send more experts to investigate, but Lord Lin suppressed the matter."

"According to City Lord Lin, judging from the traces and aura, that giant beast was only at the early stage of the King level, a juvenile beast, and... it was severely injured!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuzhen couldn't sit still any longer.

Good guy!

He was at the early stage of the King level and was seriously injured!

Isn't this a pet delivered right to my doorstep?!

This morning he was thinking of taking a gamble with the 35% chance of a contract, and this afternoon there was news of a giant beast. Lu Yu was starting to wonder if he had been given a protagonist's script.

"So?" Lu Yu asked.

Fatty Jiang took a deep breath and said:

"So this matter hasn't been reported yet. Lord Lin, along with my father and the others, have been searching all over that wilderness for traces of the injured giant beast this month!"

"My dad said the last clues suggest that the giant beast might be hiding deep within the K3 trial area!"

"By the way, that giant beast seems to have the ability to change size, otherwise, it couldn't have hidden for so long without being found!"

Fatty Jiang finished speaking in one breath.

Lu Yu fell into deep thought.

The trial area for the final exam at Luocheng No. 1 Middle School is K2, and the outermost area is K3, which is not far apart.

"There's no reason to refuse a giant beast pet that's delivered right to your door!"

A hopeful smile appeared on Lu Yu's face.

……

……

After more than an hour of hiking.

More than a thousand senior students from Los Angeles No. 1 High School finally arrived at the K2 trial area.

This area is not far from Los Angeles, only about ten kilometers away.

The reason it took more than an hour was because the teachers leading the team cleared out various strange beasts that appeared along the way, which took up some time.

After all, the area outside of Los Angeles is not human territory.

Day and night, the area outside the city is a paradise for mutated beasts.

now.

Lu Yu stood in the line of Class 9, Grade 12, and looked up.

This area is covered with dense jungle.

Apart from the area where everyone was, which had been cleared out, the rest of the area was occupied by various tall and lush plants.

These plants should not be underestimated; after the abyss descended, many plants also became mutated beasts.

Plant-based mutant beasts are often more dangerous than animal-based mutant beasts.

"Alright, now let's announce the specific assessment tasks and requirements—"

At the front of the class line, Old Wang shouted, drawing all the students' attention back.

"Assessment Content: Hunt down the Gold-Eating Rat!"

"Qualification Standard: Collect at least 5 Tier 2 Gold-Eating Rat Beast Cores!"

"Of course, the more beast cores you collect, the higher their rank, and the higher your final assessment score will be!"

The top five students in the grade during the final exams will receive an extra reward!

"The assessment has a time limit of 5 hours. Regardless of whether you pass or fail, you must gather here before 7 PM!"

"Now, everyone line up to receive your combat wristbands!"

In the class of Class 9, Grade 12.

Fatty Jiang had already returned to his class.

Lu Yu was accompanied by the beautiful and charming Jiang Xueying, the school's most beautiful girl.

The difference is that Jiang Xueying is no longer dressed in a short skirt and white stockings, but has changed into a black leather outfit that accentuates her curves.

This was the first time Lu Yu had realized that this girl actually seemed to have quite a bit of substance...

"This is equipment my dad got for me. He said it's made from the pelt of some high-level alien beast, and it has very high defense."

"And this alloy battle sword, he gave it to me too."

Jiang Xueying blushed and explained when she saw Lu Yu staring at her.

Although her pretty face was flushed, she felt Lu Yu's gaze and, as if possessed, subtly puffed out her chest to make her figure appear even more impressive and robust.

As an aside, Jiang Xueying, like Fatty Jiang, is also a true "second-generation martial arts practitioner".

Her father is not only one of the five king-level powerhouses in Luo City, but also the principal of Luo City No. 1 High School.

This is why many boys in Class 9 disliked Lu Yu, but dared not provoke this campus beauty from Jiang University.

Who would dare mess with the principal's precious daughter?

Not long after.

The two of them also lined up to receive their 'combat bracelets'.

The bracelet is made of white alloy, yet it feels very soft to the touch.

Over the past year, Lu Yu had never participated in any practical combat courses due to his identity as a Beast Tamer and his poor combat skills; this was his first time encountering such a course.

"This wristband is used for location tracking and recording combat footage."

"If you encounter danger, you can also use the bracelet to send a distress signal to your teacher!"

Jiang Xueying gently put the bracelet on Lu Yu's wrist while explaining.

As she spoke, she bit her lip and hesitated, saying:

"This assessment does not allow individuals to privately assist others in hunting gold-eating rats."

"Before I came, my dad specifically emphasized to me that even though I am his daughter, I cannot break the rules."

"so……"

Jiang Xueying looked at Lu Yu with eyes full of apology and worry.

Clearly, she originally intended to help Lu Yu complete this assessment.

For example, after she killed the Gold-Eating Rat, she secretly gave the beast core to Lu Yu.

However, the recording function of the combat bracelet prevented her from finding any loopholes.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled and said, "I told you my pet beast is very powerful, but you just don't believe me."

Jiang Xueying bit her lip.

She knew that Lu Yu was just being stubborn because of his pride.

She didn't know what Lu Yu's pet beast looked like.

That chubby black cat was found by the two of them together, and they took it home to raise.

Anyway…

"If you encounter danger, don't try to tough it out; just use the handrail to call for help, okay?"

Jiang Xueying stared at Lu Yu with her beautiful eyes, which seemed to be shimmering with tears.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

"If I encounter a danger I can't handle, I'll call for help!"

Lu Yu reached out and pinched Jiang Xueying's pretty face, comforting her.

But the words had barely left his mouth.

A harsh, mocking laugh came from behind them:

"Oh dear!"

"Why are some people already calling for help before the assessment has even started?"

"If you ask me, why not just give up instead of even entering the trial grounds?"
