Beast Taming Patrol

Not long after the school year started, Zhang Xiaoyu, having met a senior in the practical training class, accepted an invitation to join the Battle Club.

At that time, the senior had also invited Lin Su, but he firmly declined.

By then, Lin Su had already begun to research the evolutionary types of various races at the frontier and didn't have spare time to participate in any club activities.

"The other students participating in the training are all at the Battle Club right now, so it's more convenient to go directly there to find them," Li Qingmei glanced at Lin Su and suddenly smiled, "Speaking of which, you haven't joined the Battle Club yet, have you?"

"Not yet," Lin Su shook his head, "I've been quite busy lately and haven't had the time to partake in any club activities."

"That's alright, you can just register your name," Li Qingmei waved her hand dismissively, "Perfect, I happen to be the advisor for the Battle Club, I'll sort it out for you later."

Lin Su: "…"

Can't you give me a chance to say no?

Oh well, since Teacher Li said so, I might as well just register.

It's not really a big deal anyway.

"Teacher Li, when does this training start?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Su began to inquire.

"In a week," Li Qingmei smiled, "You shouldn't have anything else going on at that time, right?"

"No," Lin Su shook his head.

He asked mainly because he was concerned that this training might conflict with the inter-nation competition on the other side.

It seemed now that the training should end before the inter-nation competition.

He didn't need to worry after all.

"Don't worry, the training won't take too much time," Li Qingmei explained with a smile, thinking Lin Su was worried about it being too long and affecting his normal study life, "The joint training of the Union Universities lasts for two days, the first day for choosing the location, followed by rest and adjustments at the nearest command headquarters of the combat sequence. The entire second day is for training, and also…"

"At that time, a man-made super-natural intelligence will live stream your training to the entire Union."

Lin Su couldn't help but be amazed.

A live stream to the entire Union?

"Alright, here we are," as she spoke, Li Qingmei had already brought Lin Su to the Battle Club.

As Mountain City University's largest student club, the Battle Club occupied an entire venue, and its interior decoration was almost identical to the school's top-tier battle arenas outside.

One word stood out: professional!

Upon entering, Lin Su immediately felt the intensity of the battles being waged on each fighting platform around him, with the fierce competition igniting his blood. Around the edges of each platform, many club members who weren't battling gathered, interacting and presumably analyzing the pros and cons of the fighters in the arena.

"Boom!"

A loud noise suddenly erupted, prompting Lin Su to look in its direction.

It was a lean and pretty faced young man with grass-green hair and skin covered in green lines, wearing a tight battle suit. With each punch and kick, his slender body erupted with the power of a mountain torrent, fiercely as though he were about to shatter the fighting platform.

At that moment, he knocked his opponent out of the ring with a punch and then released his coordinated state, revealing a face familiar to Lin Su and beside him, a Mushroom Force that occasionally swung its punches through the air.

Who else could it be but Zhang Xiaoyu?

"Zhang Xiaoyu!" Lin Su called out with a smile and waved to him.

Hearing his voice, Zhang Xiaoyu turned his head, and upon recognizing Lin Su, he quickly stepped off the platform and walked briskly towards him, "Lin Su, what brings you here?"

The others also took notice of the situation because of Lin Su's loud shout.

"Clap clap!"

Li Qingmei clapped her hands together, her voice echoing through the battle arena, "Those participating in the joint training, come gather!"

As her words fell, people who were battling in the ring or observing from outside among the club members quickly stopped their activities and gathered around Li Qingmei.

Those who weren't called were also drawn by curiosity.

Although they were not chosen to participate in this training, they were still members of the Battle Club and naturally knew about the joint university training.

They had even planned to watch the live stream of their university students' training together on that day.

Seeing Li Qingmei summoning all the students participating in the training now piqued their curiosity all the more.

Soon, in front of Lin Su and Li Qingmei, twenty-four Beast Tamers appeared, both male and female, looking relatively mature, clearly upperclassmen in their junior or senior years.

Among these people, there was only one that Lin Su recognized: Song Shen.

Song Shen quickly noticed Lin Su standing next to Li Qingmei and nodded slightly at him, his expression showing no surprise.

For Lin Su to have defeated him and be chosen as the last substitute was to be expected.

But...

Such announcements usually didn't require summoning everyone, right?

Confusion flashed in Song Shen's eyes, followed by sudden realization.

There was probably some other news to announce as well.

It must be so.

While Song Shen pondered, Li Qingmei looked at the people who had gathered and smiled as she patted Lin Su on the shoulder, "Lin Su, there's no need for introductions, right?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Most of those undergoing training were senior students who wouldn't normally attend practical training lessons.

So it was natural that Lin Su didn't know many of them.

However, they were very familiar with Lin Su.

After all, this junior was already a well-known researcher throughout the Union.

"Now I will announce two things," Li Qingmei cleared her throat, "The first, we now have someone for the last substitute spot."

A sense of understanding appeared on everyone's faces.

Considering the circumstances, the last substitute seemed to be this junior, Lin Su.

Even if they hadn't met Lin Su, they had heard some rumors. This junior's strength was immense. He was almost invincible among the elite ranks, even defeating Song Shen.

With such a display of strength, it seemed sufficient to be the last substitute for the training.

"The last substitute is… Qi Hong!"

As they pondered, Li Qingmei's words reached their ears.

Huh?

Everyone was stunned.

Qi Hong…

He was one of the twenty originally chosen to participate in the training.

Although he was the weakest in terms of overall capabilities among them, he was still one of the initial members.

How did he become a substitute?

"The second announcement, among the initial members, we're adding Lin Su," Li Qingmei gave Lin Su, wearing an expression of helplessness, a pat and smiled.

After a moment of silence, the arena exploded into a buzz of conversations.
