Chapter 20: Beast Tamer Test, Laying Our Cards on the Table!

Just as Luo Shuiyan was breaking through, Jiang Che also sensed it and woke up.

"Congratulations on contracting the Empress Luo Shuiyan, successfully breaking through to Intermediate Beastmaster, reward skill: Kirin Armor!"

Hearing the system's prompt, Jiang Che's eyes lit up.

In just these few days, he had gained another skill, and this name was clearly born from the Kirin Bloodline within his body.

Jiang Che hadn't checked it carefully yet, but just hearing the name, he knew it was definitely an extremely formidable defensive skill.

Having obtained the True Kirin Blood, then the Kirin innate divine ability Kirin Step, and now another skill, Kirin Armor.

Jiang Che felt as if he were about to fleece the Kirin dry.

Although this skill was very powerful, Jiang Che was in no hurry to activate it.

If he activated the skill and sharp scales grew on his body, he was afraid he might scratch Luo Shuiyan's smooth, tender thighs.

"Xiaobai, I've broken through!"

Just as Jiang Che was still immersed in his new skill, Luo Shuiyan couldn't help but exclaim, her tone filled with joy.

Luo Shuiyan couldn't imagine that it hadn't been long since her rebirth, yet she had already jumped directly to an Intermediate Beastmaster.

One must know that in her past life, she had suffered quite a bit and spent a lot of time to cultivate to an Intermediate Beastmaster.

Yet this time, in just a few short days, she had successfully crossed the rank; this speed was unparalleled across the entire continent.

Is this the promotion speed brought by contracting a Mythical-grade Spirit Beast? The feedback effect on the Beast Tamer is actually this outstanding?

Luo Shuiyan looked at Jiang Che, her eyes beginning to shine with a bright light.

She knew very well in her heart that with her own talent, even with the advantage of her cultivation technique, she could never have cultivated to an Intermediate Beastmaster this quickly.

There was only one possibility, and that was the feedback from her Contracted Spirit Beast!

Under normal circumstances.

A Spirit Beast just contracted by a Beast Tamer still requires the Beast Tamer to carefully nurture it.

To have a Spirit Beast provide feedback to the Beast Tamer requires quite a lot of time.

But for Jiang Che, this was simply the easiest thing in the world.

Luo Shuiyan knew very well that if it weren't for Jiang Che breaking through repeatedly, relying on herself, it would have taken at least another half a month to break through to Intermediate Beastmaster.

"So excited? Then why not give me something good to eat!"

Hearing this, Luo Shuiyan scanned the room and discovered that the things she had ordered for Jiang Che before her seclusion had all been polished off.

"Alright, alright, I'll go order some now!"

Luo Shuiyan immediately followed suit after hearing Jiang Che's words.

Now, to Luo Shuiyan, Jiang Che was no longer just an ordinary Contracted Spirit Beast; he was a great treasure she had picked up.

Soon, the hotel waiter pushed in a cart full of delicacies.

It was just that the way the person looked at Luo Shuiyan was a bit strange for a moment.

After all, there was only Luo Shuiyan, a delicate young girl, and a harmless-looking, petite Spirit Beast in the room; no matter how one looked at it, they didn't seem like big eaters.

……

"Xiaobai, in five days, the Xi'an Ancient City branch of the Beast Master Guild will hold a collective test."

"If we successfully pass the standard of the test, we will be able to join the Beast Master Guild."

"Why do we need to join that so-called guild?"

Jiang Che said vaguely while gnawing on a chicken leg in his hand.

Compared to the somewhat excited Luo Shuiyan, Jiang Che had no interest at all.

To him, he could become stronger just by lying flat; joining any guild or someone else's faction was completely meaningless. "Xiaobai, you don't know, for a Beast Tamer, joining the Beast Master Guild is a very important matter."

Luo Shuiyan sat up straight, composed her expression, and explained.

"The Beast Master Guild is spread across the country. If you can become an official Beast Tamer, having this status is like a pass!"

"That way, no matter what we do, it will be very convenient."

"But without the certified status from the Beast Master Association, any Secret Realm or cultivation resources will be out of reach for us."

"And in many places, it will be difficult to take a single step."

As the Empress in her past life, Luo Shuiyan knew well the power of the Beast Master Guild and its importance to Beast Tamers.

This guild is spread across the country with branches everywhere; joining it will bring more opportunities.

"Oh, alright, since it's good for you, then go if you want to."

After hearing this, Jiang Che's expression remained very indifferent.

Right now, he was just a Spirit Beast; joining any guild had nothing to do with him.

What's more, for Jiang Che, even if those guilds were powerful, the cultivation resources they provided couldn't compare to his Lying Flat System.

Does the Beast Master Guild have the essence blood of a Mythical beast?

Do they have the innate divine abilities of a Mythical beast? His Lying Flat System is more reliable.

Seeing Jiang Che's calm appearance, Luo Shuiyan did not feel surprised at all.

After spending this time together, Luo Shuiyan knew that Jiang Che was not as ignorant, cute, and harmless as he appeared on the surface.

After all, it is extremely rare for a Spirit Beast to be so human-like and to kill without hesitation immediately after signing a contract.

"With my current strength, my test results will definitely be top-tier, and I happen to be a third-year graduating student, so I might have the opportunity to join Tianque Academy!"

Tianque Academy, in this Xi'an Ancient City, is considered the most top-tier Beast Tamer Academy!

Its comprehensive strength is much stronger than the Jianghai Beast Tamer Academy that Luo Shuiyan previously joined.

However, Luo Shuiyan was still very confident in herself; with Jiang Che's support, if even she didn't have this opportunity, then it was even more impossible for others.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Shuiyan came before Jiang Che, her expression becoming somewhat serious and earnest.

"But before that, Xiaobai, I think we need to lay our cards on the table for each other."

"Between a Beast Tamer and a Spirit Beast, one must know each other's roots and foundations to better fight and better cultivate."

Luo Shuiyan always felt that she truly could not see through Jiang Che.

Clearly Xiaobai was just a very cute and petite Spirit Beast, yet Luo Shuiyan always felt that the other's thoughts were even deeper than her own.

For a Spirit Beast's thinking to be even clearer than a Beast Tamer's, this was truly rare.

Jiang Che nodded upon hearing this and subconsciously said, "That works too, you're right; as a Human Tamer, I indeed need to grasp information about people."

"Uh... this..."

Luo Shuiyan was momentarily rendered speechless by what Jiang Che said.

This term 'Human Tamer' was something she was hearing for the first time.

However, she had originally signed a contract with Jiang Che as the master and her as the subordinate, so it seemed there was no problem with Jiang Che saying it like that...

"You report first!"

Jiang Che had eaten his fill and was lying on Luo Shuiyan's lap.

He found a comfortable position, preparing to listen to Luo Shuiyan's report in comfort.
