My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

"Hey, you're pretty vengeful."

Wang Linyan laughed and scolded, "Fine, I'll accept your bet, but don't refuse the million. Take it as pocket money, otherwise people will think our Donglin Dojo is going to go bankrupt."

Xia Yu chuckled, "Grandpa is so generous. I'll send you the card number in a bit."

He's not greedy for money.

One million is not a lot of money for Xia Yu now.

But completing the system task and obtaining the blueprint for the [Weakness Insurance] is what's important.

Wang Linyan shook his head with a helpless smile and gently waved his right hand in front of him.

A blue six-pointed star array appeared out of thin air in front of him.

The edges of the formation were swirling with layers of light patterns like ocean waves, and a cool, slightly salty mist filled the air, as if one were standing on the shore at high tide.

Immediately, a large fish that resembled a dolphin gracefully leaped out from the six-pointed star array.

Then it floated freely in the air, as if it were still in the water.

Xia Yu watched in amazement.

Even a fish can fly, Groudon, look at that!

He subtly summoned his Pokédex with his mind and scanned it at the elegant fish.

A pale blue virtual screen unfolded before my eyes, and a series of messages quickly popped up.

[Pokémon: ***** (Ripple)]

Gender: Male

[Attribute: Light/Water]

[Energy Level: 69 (Natural Disaster)]

[Racial Rank: Cataclysm]

【Special Feature: Light Veil Skin (The light flowing on its scales makes it harder to hit; there's a chance to dodge when targeted by a skill)】

[Skills: Water Abyss Light, Light Concealment, Great Tsunami, Rippling Light Pattern, Water and Sky Color, Water Breathing...]

【Favourability: 0】

[Status: Daydreaming]

Level 69 is the maximum level for pets of the race level "Calamity".

It seems this is the pet beast that Wang Linyan sent to conduct experiments on him.

Wang Linyan stood up, walked to the large fish floating in mid-air, and gently patted its head.

"Lan, you'll stay by this young man's side during this time and cooperate with him. Just eat whatever he feeds you. Don't worry, he won't hurt you."

He didn't tell his old friend the specific details of the experiment.

He feared that the experiment might fail in the end, and that the Rippling Light Fish, which had been somewhat depressed because it was a Calamity-level pet, would only experience a false sense of joy and then watch its hopes be dashed.

Xia Yu also roughly guessed the soft concerns in Wang Linyan's heart.

He didn't say much, but stepped forward, extended his right hand, and shook hands with the broad pectoral fin of the Rippling Light Fish.

"Brother Yu, please take care of me from now on."

The Rippling Light Fish nodded without hesitation, letting out a clear and long cry from its long snout.

"chirp"

Inside the room, Wang Linyan watched Xia Yu and Lan Yi Guangyu's departing figures, his gaze gradually becoming distant.

Jiang Yuxi asked tentatively, "Master? What's wrong?"

Wang Linyan was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Xiaoxi, what do you think is the probability of Xia Yu's experiment succeeding?"

Jiang Yuxi was slightly taken aback.

She didn't expect her master to ask this question so suddenly.

I instinctively wanted to give a safe "It's hard to say," but I swallowed the words back.

She suddenly remembered the rainy day when she first went to Miaomiao Pet House.

In the courtyard, Xia Yu looked at him with a determined expression and said, "You will be the first beast tamer to use rain tactics."

That young man, who was even a few years younger than himself, seemed to possess a truly magical power...

Jiang Yuxi finally revealed her true feelings.

"I think... it should be 70%."

Wang Linyan narrowed his eyes, and a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of that kid. Seventy percent... to you, seventy percent should be almost one hundred percent, right?"

Jiang Yuxi remained silent.

She did not refute it.

After all, he was the master who had taught him since he was a child, so he knew him too well.

Wang Linyan slowly leaned back in his armchair, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked leisurely, "Can you tell me the reason? Is it the [Rain Prayer]? Or what happened last night?"

Jiang Yuxi hesitated for a moment, then spoke after thinking carefully: "I think so, and I always feel... he has a special kind of temperament, as if nothing that happens to him would seem strange... Master, what kind of look is that!"

She couldn't stand Wang Linyan's subtle gaze, like that of an "old father seeing his daughter talking about a certain boy," and questioned him.

"Look, you're in a hurry again."

Wang Linyan chuckled and said, "If you don't have those kinds of thoughts in your heart, how would you know what I'm thinking?"

A very faint blush had crept onto Jiang Yuxi's face at some point.

She bit her lower lip, her voice unconsciously rising: "That's sophistry!"

"If you don't have it, you don't have it."

Wang Linyan didn't argue, his smile faded, and he said thoughtfully, "Actually, Master and I have the same idea. Xia Yu's experiment can succeed."

Jiang Yuxi was surprised, realizing that she only thought that way because she had spent a lot of time with Xia Yu.

But the master had only just met Xia Yu...

"Moreover, I believe his future achievements will be far greater than this."

Wang Linyan gazed into the distance, lost in thought. "Cooperating with him might be the key to the resurgence of our Donglin Dojo."

Jiang Yuxi couldn't help but complain, "Master, has our Donglin Dojo ever declined...?"

In Shanghai and even throughout Donghuang, the status of Donglin Dojo is not only that of a towering figure, but also a top-tier institution.

Wang Linyan withdrew his gaze, looked at Jiang Yuxi, and asked in return, "Compared to now, does becoming the world's number one dojo count as a rise?"

Jiang Yuxi's beautiful eyes widened instantly. Before she could speak, she heard her unreliable master say something that made her heart race.

"So while he's still in his nascent stage, we need to build a good relationship with him. What do you think about making him our son-in-law at the Donglin Dojo...?"

"master!"

"Hey, hey, talk is talk, but don't hit me!"

"..."

Chapter 69: That's not how it is in the corner game!

The place Jiang Yuxi arranged for Xia Yu to stay was not far away, just across the artificial lake.

After leaving Wang Linyan's antique-style hall, it's about a ten-minute walk along the stone path by the lake.

It's a detached villa with two floors, gray tiles and white walls, and a fairly large yard in front of the house.

The courtyard faces the lake on one side, making it a paradise for anglers.

Judging from the accommodations, the Donglin Taoist Temple showed great sincerity, treating Xia Yu as a distinguished guest.

After bringing Xia Yu to the location, Lan Yi Guang Yu jumped directly into the lake next to the house.

Although it can breathe on land and even fly.

But after all, it is a fish, and its most comfortable environment is still in the water.

Xia Yu didn't care.

Catastrophe-level pets all have their own pride, especially those that have been with the Heavenly King for most of their lives.

If it weren't for Wang Linyan's instructions, it probably wouldn't even want to talk to itself.

What else is there to say? I'm bowing down to the veteran.

No problem, as long as it eats the aptitude cubes in a few days and experiences their wonders...

hum!

Xia Yu snapped out of his thoughts and walked into the villa's living room.

He immediately summoned Lady Snow Spirit and Spirit Velvet Beast from the Beast Taming Space.

The unfamiliar environment made both elves feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Lady Snow Spirit's gaze remained calm as always, her icy blue eyes quickly scanning the surroundings to assess the safety.

Without hesitation, the spirit beast took small, quick steps and ran to Xia Yu's side.

For it, no matter where it is, as long as it is by Xia Yu's side, it will feel at ease.

Xia Yu looked at Madam Xue Ling and said, "Aunt Xue, could you please scan the room to see if there are any surveillance devices or anything like that?"

Although doing so is somewhat disrespectful to Wang Linyan, one should always be wary of others.

He can accept other people's kindness, but he will never again place his safety entirely on other people's kindness.

"Eek!"

Lady Xue Ling nodded in agreement, and then spread her spiritual power, scanning every corner of the room.
