Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 180 Jun Du: Young? How young can he be? Who isn't a genius!

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

It was as if they suddenly realized something.

Qiao Bai hadn't thought much of Ning Ruxue's appearance before, but now that he saw it...

Right, there's something off about Ning Ruxue being here as a member of the inspection team, isn't there?

I'll ask later.

Qiao Bai listened as A-Yun and A-Yong in front of him counted on their fingers some of the things their sister had said to them before she left.

Occasionally, in bits and pieces.

It seems there's nothing particularly important news.

It's a bit cold, so bring a couple more layers when you set off. One member is sick and has to take leave, so we can't go together this time. The mountain is full of energy, so we suspect there's a lot of red ore or red rock crystal inside.

Etc., etc.

Qiao Bai emphasized the last sentence—"Is the mountain full of energy?"

If the Yan City incident hadn't happened, Qiao Bai's thoughts after hearing those words would have been the same as those of this sixth-tier beast tamer.

It is believed that there are abundant red soil resources inside the mountain.

But then, something terrible happened.

This matter cannot be viewed so simply.

After chatting for a while longer and confirming that there was no further news from A-Yun and A-Yong, Qiao Bai nodded and prepared to leave.

"I'll keep an eye on your sister's situation for you," Qiao Bai said earnestly, looking at the two teenagers.

Ah Yong listened to Qiao Bai's promise and stared at Qiao Bai for a long time, as if to confirm whether what Qiao Bai said was true.

Judging from Qiao Bai's expression alone, there was indeed not a trace of disdain in him.

A Yong jumped off the chair and ran behind the dessert counter with a "thump-thump" sound. After rummaging around for a while, he grabbed something and ran towards Qiao Bai.

"Here, take this!" A-Yong stretched out his arms and handed Qiao Bai something that looked like a handkerchief.

Qiao Bai paused for a moment, then took it from A Yong's hand.

I unfolded it and took a look.

It was a square scarf, about 30 x 30 cm in size.

The fabric doesn't feel like a common chemical material or pure cotton; it has a very unique feel that even Qiao Bai finds hard to describe.

Very comfortable.

The scarf was dark in color, a red that resembled earth, while the edges were a light, low-saturation green. The red part immediately reminded Qiao Bai of the name Red Earth City and the red earth resources within the Red Earth Secret Realm.

The center of the handkerchief features a unique shape resembling three leaves joined together.

It's a bit strange, but after looking at it for a while, it becomes kind of attractive.

Ah Yong watched as Qiao Bai accepted the handkerchief, a hint of reluctance in his eyes: "This was a gift from my sister, a token symbolizing that I'm a member of the Red Earth Exploration Team!"

"I'll reluctantly lend it to you, but you have to pay me back later!"

Qiao Bai smiled and took the handkerchief with his other hand.

"it is good."

……

Clay standard training ground.

This is the largest beastmaster training ground in Red Earth City.

The minimum requirement to enter is a Level 1 Beastmaster identity verification.

Even so, under normal circumstances, there are still too many beast tamers coming and going from this training ground to count.

no way.

Red Line City's resources are abundant, and there's no shortage of Beastmasters who want to come to Red Line City to obtain them.

If you don't even have the status of a first-tier beast tamer, entering the Red Earth Secret Realm won't be an easy task. You might as well focus on improving your strength first.

however.

This usually bustling place, usually teeming with people, is unusually quiet today.

In the enormous venue, which stretched as far as the eye could see, there were only a dozen or so people scattered around.

As soon as Ning Ruxue walked in, she saw a man and a woman standing in the center, seemingly engaged in battle, surrounded by a group of beast tamers.

It looks much the same as a regular battle between a beast tamer and their pet, with spectators watching from the sidelines.

If the two beast tamers who are fighting are called Mr. Jundu and Ms. E.

If it weren't for the fact that all the beast tamers watching were at least seventh-level beast tamers...

Ning Ruxue would find this scene perfectly normal.

"Mr. Jundu, Ms. Hui." Faced with the overwhelming pressure and powerful aura in the venue, Ning Ruxue straightened her back. In addition, she had occasionally seen big shots of this level in the inspection team, so she did not show any fear.

She was simply a little pale.

"We need your help with the situation in Red Earth City," Ning Ruxue said.

Mr. Jundu turned to look at Ning Ruxue, his half-tied ponytail swaying slightly. He smiled at her, his expression a mix of roguishness and wickedness: "Yo! Ruxue!"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, there's no use in rushing anyway."

"Let's talk about it after Xiaohui and I finish our fight!"

Mr. Cointreau waved his hand, and the coat draped over his shoulders swayed twice in response.

"As you know, I've always wanted to have a proper match with Xiaohui, but she's been avoiding me, and I just haven't had the right opportunity."

"Well, I've finally caught them! I have to finish this first!"

As he spoke, Jundu revealed another sharp smile, his eyes filled with a determined look as he looked at Ms. Hui across from him.

Ning Ruxue: "..."

Ning Ruxue glanced at Ms. Hui, who was silently crossing her arms and hadn't said a word since she came in, and felt a little complicated.

Ms. Hui is in a rather pitiful state.

"Although I don't want to interrupt you, I'm sorry, I have to." Ning Ruxue nodded upon hearing this, but she did not intend to follow Jun Du's ideas.

Cointreau: "..."

Jundu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Ruxue with displeasure.

"Give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise..."

"We have discovered the pattern of how patients with high fever in Yancheng contracted the disease, and the time left for treatment is very short. If it cannot be resolved within 48 hours, the situation may become worse."

"Including the time it took me to get here, 17 hours have passed now."

Before they even had a chance to fight, Cointreau was forced to back down.

Ms. Hui across from him smiled as she saw Jundu's displeased expression.

Coindus: ...Damn it! My fists are hard!

Jundu desperately wanted to fight Ms. Ei, but he knew even better what he needed to do right now.

If he really does that, then there's no point in talking about the future; this will truly be the last battle of his life.

Cointreau has no intention of quitting so soon.

How wonderful it would be to be the King!

You'll also encounter a lot of interesting opponents!

"Damn it! When did you guys become so fast?!" Cointreau couldn't help but complain loudly, muttering to himself.

The surrounding beast tamers, who had expected to witness a battle between two Heavenly King-level eighth-tier beast tamers: ... silently adding 1 to their hearts.

Although some things are not very good.

But they genuinely felt it was a pity.

It's a pity I didn't get to see this battle, which was definitely a showdown of the best.

Pity.

I don't know if I'll have another chance to see it next time.

Fortunately, everyone was able to prioritize. After learning the latest news from Ning Ruxue, they found a place nearby to sit down and listened attentively as Ning Ruxue explained things to them.

Ning Ruxue: "..."

Ning Ruxue sighed.

Ning Ruxue regretted not bringing her workaholic best friend Jiang Heng along.

otherwise……

Ning Ruxue was distracted for a moment, but quickly came back to her senses and explained the situation to them, as well as how Qiao Bai discovered it.

"Professor Qiao Bai..." Ms. Hui, who hadn't said much before and had silently accepted Jun Du's provocation, showed a thoughtful expression after hearing Qiao Bai's name.

"He's a very impressive professor of pets, right? He's researched a lot of interesting new evolutionary paths and new forms for pets."

Ning Ruxue smiled and nodded, a hint of pride on her face, as if she were the one being praised by Ms. Hui.

Jun Du, who had never paid any attention to Qiao Bai's information, was left speechless.

I was completely dumbfounded.

Big question mark.

Ning Ruxue, Ms. Hui, and the other seventh-tier beast tamers present all looked at Jundu with surprise at his reaction, as if they couldn't understand why Jundu didn't know Qiao Bai.

Most of them had never met Qiao Bai.

But that doesn't mean they don't know Qiao Bai's name!

Jundu, understanding the meaning behind their expressions, remained silent.

"Damn it." Jun Du couldn't help but swear: "Is this Qiao Bai some kind of amazing person?"

"Do I really have to know them?"

"It's not a matter of whether they're powerful or not," said a seventh-tier beast tamer standing nearby. "It's more like... how should I put it? It's hard to describe, but if I had the chance, I'd really like to ask Professor Qiao Bai for help."

Everyone except Ms. Hui and Ning Ruxue nodded frantically.

Cointreau: "..."

Did he really overlook some very important information?

Jundu wasn't completely indifferent to people other than powerful beast tamers.

But Jundu hasn't heard of any new Level 1 Researchers in the past two years.

So how powerful can this pet professor named Qiao Bai be?

"What level of researcher?" Jun Du thought for a moment and decided to ask anyway.

"Level three," Ning Ruxue answered directly. "But it should be level two in a few months."

Jundu blinked, puzzled. "That doesn't sound that impressive."

Professor Pet, besides Level 1, what are the other powerful ones?

That's fine!

Then Cointreau was once again the focus of everyone's attention.

Ms. Hui couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth: "Some people have a very trendy and fashionable face, but they are old-fashioned people who never go online and are cut off from the outside world."

"This is really interesting." Ms. Hui laughed again as she said this.

Feeling subtly mocked, Jundu thought, "...Hmph."

"I just think it's unnecessary." Cointreau crossed his arms. "What's the point of having so many information sources? If it's really something important, I'll find out eventually!"

"My phone only wastes my time and wears down my willpower!"

"As long as it has the most basic telephone communication function, that's fine!" Jun Du said, pulling out an old-fashioned mobile phone that looked like it should be on display in a museum, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face.

Upon hearing this, a small group of seventh-tier beast tamers who were getting up close to Jundu for the first time couldn't help but show expressions of admiration.

Wow, Mr. Cointreau is amazing.

In this information age, is there still anyone who can go without using a smartphone?

They really learned something new!

"Besides, a Level 3 Researcher doesn't sound like much, what's so special about them?" Jun Du muttered to himself, putting his phone back in his pocket. "And they interrupted my hard-won chance to fight, ugh!"

"But Qiao Bai is very young, and he hasn't been a professor of pet animals for long," Ms. Hui said with a smile.

Jun Du still wore a disgruntled expression: "I'm young too! In the circle of eighth-tier beast tamers, where everyone's an uncle or grandfather, I'm still a young man, okay!"

Jundu, in his early forties, raised his head with great energy and a proud expression.

The seventh-tier beast tamers around Jun Du's age, or even older than him, were all speechless.

Although, but.

I'm curious!

I feel like I'm being mocked!

Cointreau has absolutely no sense of self-awareness.

"It's different." Ms. Hui had a subtle smile on her face.

Cointreau: "?"

Different?

Where is it different?

What's the difference?

How young can one be?

Jun Du thought about those pet evolution major students who were already twenty-five or twenty-six years old when they graduated. Even if Qiao Bai was a little younger, he was not even thirty.

A Level 3 Researcher seems pretty good, but in the eyes of Jundu, who is also a genius, it's just so-so.

Unless that Qiao Bai can become a first-level researcher at a similar age, Jun Du feels that he can at least acknowledge the other party's strength then.

then……

When Jundu saw Qiao Bai appear in front of him, his eyes were full of doubt and questions.

He looked at Qiao Bai.

He then turned to look at Ning Ruxue and Ms. Hui.

Let's take a look at Qiao Bai.

"This is..." Jun Du pointed at Qiao Bai, his usually confident tone finally showing a hint of insecurity.

Cointreau stated that even with his poor eyesight, he could still tell.

The person in front of me looks like a teenager.

Are you an adult yet?

Oh.

They should be adults by now.

But it still looks very fresh and tender!

He looks like a college student!

Qiao Bai?

Tell him about this, that Qiao Bai?

Ning Ruxue nodded: "Qiao Bai."

"19 years old," Ning Ruxue added.

Qiao Bai himself: "?"

"What's wrong?" Qiao Bai looked at the trendy middle-aged man opposite him with a shocked expression, as if he had done something to offend him. Qiao Bai was quite confused.

What did he do?

Cointreau fell silent.

Coindus is questioning the meaning of life.

Young... oh, I get it, young... that's really fucking young!

In the world of beast taming, where most people start in their twenties or thirties, this nineteen-year-old is ridiculously young. How is that any different from being a minor?

Is this what geniuses are like these days?!
