Chapter 209

Amidst the crowd's applause, Su Yang received the prize for this competition: ten million Federal Credits and a VIP card granting a 30% discount at Zhenbao Pavilion.

With ten million Federal Credits in hand, Su Yang felt delighted.

Money really is a wonderful thing!

Qin Qin Pengcheng stepped onto the stage and shook his hand personally.

"Su Yang, are you interested in taking up a post in Changwu City?"

This was an offer to recruit Su Yang—young beast-tamers with his exceptional talent were welcome wherever they went.

"Could I take some time to think about it?"

"Of course," Qin Qin Pengcheng smiled. "Go home, think it over, and reply to me! If you decide to join, just go straight to the Military Department and give my name."

After Su Yang stepped down, Huo Kun and the others rushed over to him.

"Captain, I got first place!"

"You're amazing!" Huo Kun hugged Su Yang tightly. "Excellent—you truly live up to being the strongest genius in Qixing City's history!"

"Not bad!"

Qian Ran also jumped forward in admiration, pulling out a camera: "Big Brother Su Yang, let's take a photo together!"

Su Yang didn't refuse: "We'll do it later!"

"Alright!"

Back at the guesthouse, Su Yang took a photo with Qian Ran.

Qian Ran also asked for his autograph; Su Yang truly felt like a celebrity.

After Qian Ran left, Su Yang went to claim his reward.

"Ding~ Congratulations, host! You've obtained a Mythic-level talent—Crisis Sensing!"

"Crisis Sensing (Mythic): When this beast is in danger or about to suffer a fatal attack, its sixth sense will warn it that danger is approaching!"

Seeing this Mythic-level talent, Su Yang was thrilled.

This Crisis Sensing talent was incredibly powerful!

Predicting danger would greatly enhance his survival capability!

Without hesitation, Su Yang assigned this Mythic-level talent to the Earthquake Bear.

Because the Earthquake Bear had always been attached to his body.

Giving it to the Earthquake Bear was the same as giving it to himself.

"Ding~ Your Earthquake Bear has gained the Mythic-level talent—Crisis Sensing. Its growth potential has risen from Emperor-Rank High-Grade to Sovereign-Rank Mid-Grade!"

Next, the system offered another reward: the ability to upgrade one specific talent of one beast by one rank.

For this reward—allowing a single-rank upgrade to a talent—Su Yang's first choice was an Ultimate-level talent.

Because upgrading an Ultimate-level talent by one rank would elevate it to Mythic-level.

Su Yang glanced at his four beasts, then ultimately chose the Earthquake Bear.

The power boost from an Ultimate-level talent made him envious!

"Ding~ Your Earthquake Bear's Ultimate-level Powerful Talent has been upgraded by one rank. Your Earthquake Bear has gained the Mythic-level talent—Hate the Earth for Having No Rings!"

"Ding~ Your Earthquake Bear's growth potential has improved, rising from Sovereign-Rank Mid-Grade to Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade!"

Hate the Heavens for Having No Handles, Hate the Earth for Having No Rings!

If the heavens had handles, if the earth had rings, he could lift them both.

Of course, this was an exaggeration.

It was merely used to describe immense strength!

Su Yang felt his own strength exploding within him.

After this round of enhancement, the Earthquake Bear had been utterly transformed!

Seeing the Earthquake Bear's magnificent talents, Su Yang wanted to laugh three times.

Of course, he held it in!

At Ningkai Sect, Su Yang accidentally twisted off the door handle.

He took a deep breath, staring at his fingerprints on the handle, feeling slightly frustrated.

He needed to learn to control this sudden surge of strength.

But as long as he avoided touching things, the problem shouldn't be too serious.

Not long after, Su Yang found Huo Kun.

He said directly: "Captain, General Qin just asked me if I'd consider taking up a post in Changwu City!"

"What do you think?"

"I think it's all the same—as long as there are ferocious beasts to fight!"

This is true—Su Yang possesses a Pet Beast Cultivation System; as long as he continuously slays ferocious beasts, he can enhance his strength.

His dependence on external resources is not severe.

Huo Kun thought for a moment, then said: "From the perspective of Qixing City, I don't want you to leave; but from your perspective, I believe Wucheng is more suitable for your development. Wucheng's economy has reached a high level—it's the center of southwestern cities, where you can obtain many precious pet beasts. Wucheng has numerous experts, and you'll receive far better guidance there!"

"Squad Leader!"

"Let me finish!" Huo Kun waved his hand. "Before you left, the mayor of Sucheng told me that if you achieved a strong result in the Biwu Assembly and received an offer from Wucheng's military, he advised you to accept it!"

"For a genius Pet Beast Master, vision is crucial. Staying in Qixing City your whole life would waste your talent. You're young—you still have infinite possibilities!"

Su Yang asked softly: "Did the mayor really say that?"

Huo Kun replied irritably: "Do you think I'd lie to you?"

"Of course not!"

"You're joining Wucheng as the top-ranked candidate from the southwestern region. General Qin and the southwestern military will certainly value you and give you the best treatment. Joining Wucheng is overwhelmingly advantageous!" Huo Kun smiled. "If you thrive in Wucheng, maybe one day the mayor of Sucheng will need your help!"

Su Yang replied: "I'm seriously considering it."

Huo Kun nodded. "You love combat, don't you? You love killing ferocious beasts? You can join Wucheng's elite Emergency Squad. The Emergency Squad gathers Wucheng's most elite Pet Beast Masters, tasked specifically with handling crises across major base cities in the southwestern region and eliminating the most troublesome ferocious beasts. If you join them, you'll have endless ferocious beasts to kill… though of course, the Emergency Squad is also the most dangerous."

"I know."

The next day, Su Yang arrived at the Wucheng military headquarters.

After naming General Qin, he waited only a short while before someone led him inside.

Upon meeting Qin Pengcheng, Qin had his secretary bring a chair for Su Yang.

"Sit down and talk."

"Alright."

"Well, have you decided?"

The secretary brought Su Yang a cup of hot tea.

"Yes, I plan to join Wucheng," Su Yang said without delay, then added casually, "But someday, if I want to go out and travel, I hope the General will grant me leave."

"No problem," Qin Pengcheng laughed. "If one day you decide to leave, it'll be because I failed in my duties—or because a better opportunity arose. I won't stop you."
