Chapter 31: Hmm? Why did it get so flat?

Hearing the sound, Luo Shuiyan turned her head in a hurry, only to see an old acquaintance standing on a massive flying Spirit Beast not far behind her.

"Xue'er!"

The voice from just a moment ago belonged to none other than Luo Shuiyan's best friend from Jianghai City, Lin Xueer.

At this moment, Lin Xueer was standing on another flying Spirit Beast.

Upon seeing Luo Shuiyan, Lin Xueer was clearly very excited, waving her hands continuously at Luo Shuiyan while standing on the flying Spirit Beast.

The reason Luo Shuiyan had chosen to come to Xi'an Ancient City this time was, in part, because she knew Lin Xueer would apply to Tianque Academy after the assessment.

It was precisely because of this that Luo Shuiyan had chosen to come to Xi'an to develop her future.

In her past life.

Luo Shuiyan and Lin Xueer had applied to this Beast Tamer Academy together.

Because they were from the same hometown and were best friends, their friendship had become incredibly solid during their years spent together in Xi'an.

It could be said that in this world, no one understood Lin Xueer better than Luo Shuiyan.

In her past life, although Lin Xueer's cultivation had lagged far behind her own due to talent limitations.

Yet, in the end, when the great war between the Human Race and the Demon Race broke out, Lin Xueer did not retreat in the slightest, choosing with great determination to face death alongside her.

In this life, since both of them had come to Tianque Academy again, Luo Shuiyan would do whatever it took to help her good friend.

Although there were other places on this continent even more excellent than Tianque Academy.

Luo Shuiyan did not choose to go elsewhere, but continued to follow the path of her past life.

Because here, Luo Shuiyan knew of certain opportunities that belonged only to her.

In her past life, Luo Shuiyan had started out completely unremarkable, yet she had been able to cultivate all the way to the Empress realm through her own hard work.

In this life, she also believed that with the memories of having lived once before, plus the blessing of the divine beast she had from the very start, her final achievements in this life would definitely surpass those of her past life.

"Shui Yan! Shui Yan! I never expected you to come here too!"

Lin Xueer called out to Luo Shuiyan in pleasant surprise.

Xi'an Ancient City was tens of thousands of kilometers away from Jianghai City, a very great distance apart.

Being far away from home, Lin Xueer felt a bit of unease in her heart.

But she never expected that just after arriving at Tianque Academy, she would run into her best friend, and one who had gone missing at that—Luo Shuiyan.

However, contrary to the pleasantly surprised Lin Xueer, the Yindiao in Lin Xueer's arms looked as if it had seen a ghost the moment it saw Jiang Che.

The Yindiao's previously cheerful expression immediately turned into one of terror.

It looked so panicked that it wanted to jump straight off the flying Spirit Beast!

There was no helping it; the fear Jiang Che had instilled in it twice before was simply too great, and it had already formed a shadow in the Yindiao's heart.

Luo Shuiyan smiled faintly at the corner of her mouth and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I just had good luck and was recruited by the academy."

Hiss~ As soon as these words were spoken, the few people beside Luo Shuiyan gasped, all of them looking speechless.

If the person ranked first on the high school graduation grade list in Xi'an Ancient City this year could only be considered lucky.

Then what did that make them? Were they all trash? "Hahahaha! That's great, the two of us can be together again."

"I was a bit worried before I came that I wouldn't know anyone in Xi'an City, but now that you're here, I'm not worried anymore!"

The flying Spirit Beast was very fast, and before long, Luo Shuiyan saw that they had arrived above an extremely vast complex of buildings; this was where Tianque Academy was located.

The flying Spirit Beast hovered in mid-air and then landed in a plaza.

Everyone jumped down from the Spirit Beasts one after another, and Lin Xueer immediately ran to Luo Shuiyan's side.

She noticed that Luo Shuiyan was still holding the sleeping Jiang Che in her arms, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"Hehe, Shui Yan, I haven't seen Xiaobai in a long time, let me hold him."

Luo Shuiyan naturally had no defenses or concerns regarding Lin Xueer, so she nodded with a smile.

Lin Xueer rubbed her hands together and then gently took Jiang Che from Luo Shuiyan's arms.

In his sleep, Jiang Che felt vaguely as if he had been gathered into the arms of a pair of soft, small hands. "Hmm? Why does this feel wrong? Why has it become so much flatter?"

Jiang Che woke up slowly, his little paws subconsciously rubbing against her, only to discover that the sensation was different from usual.

Jiang Che slowly raised his head, only to see that it was actually Lin Xueer's face.

"What is going on?!"

Seeing that the person holding him had turned out to be Lin Xueer.

Jiang Che was stunned for a moment.

Wasn't this flat-chested woman in Jianghai? How did she end up in Xi'an?

Could it be that I'm still dreaming?! Damn it, even if I am dreaming, why would I think of a flat-chested woman? Do I have a problem? If I were to think of anyone, it should be someone like Luo Shuiyan!

"Wow, Xiaobai, you're still so cute."

Lin Xueer didn't care at all that Jiang Che was taking liberties with her.

Her eyes were filled with little stars.

Seeing Jiang Che wake up, Luo Shuiyan hurriedly explained what had just happened.

Jiang Che was speechless for a moment.

He never expected that after running so far away, he would still run into Lin Xueer...

"By the way, Shui Yan, I heard that after we register at the academy, we're going to start being sorted into classes."

Lin Xueer said with a slight frown of worry while stroking Jiang Che's purple fur.

"I don't know if the two of us will be able to get into the same class."

"Hehe, I hope the heavens show me, Lin Xueer, some favor and put us in the same class."

Although Lin Xueer was smiling on her face, she was still a bit worried in her heart.

She was worried that Luo Shuiyan would be assigned to an extremely poor class by the academy because she had contracted a Spirit Beast with Black Iron-grade bloodline.

After all, no matter how you look at it, contracting a Black Iron-grade bloodline Spirit Beast is truly too outrageous...

Lin Xueer turned her head to look at Luo Shuiyan.

"By the way, Shui Yan, I haven't asked yet, how was your assessment score at the Xi'an Beast Master Guild this time?"

————

【I am sorry, it seems the rank classifications were not clearly stated before, that was truly a mistake. Also, there have been some changes to the bloodline talent levels that appeared previously (readers following the updates might feel a bit uncomfortable with these changes, but readers who just added the book to their bookshelf recently will not be affected...)】

Realm Ranks:

Junior Beast Tamer.

Intermediate Beastmaster.

Advanced Beast Master.

Spirit-level Beast Master.

King-level Beast Master. (Capable of flight)

Emperor-level Beast Tamer.

Venerable-level Beast Master. (Masters Space Power!) Saint-level Beast Master.

Emperor-level Beast Tamer.

Bloodline talent levels from low to high are divided into: Black Iron, Silver, Gold, Master, Grandmaster, Legendary, Mythical.

In the current world, Spirit Beasts with Mythical bloodline levels have basically never appeared.

There are some of Legendary grade, but not many, and they are all in the hands of some top powerhouses.
