Beast Taming Patrol

```

As Lin Su defeated Qi Hong with decisive ease and stepped down from the battle platform, the battle venue filled with thousands of people fell deathly silent.

When a Beast Tamer can't employ Guardian Beast Co-operation, many factors can affect their strength.

The synergy between the beasts, the beasts' standard energy levels, the skilled utilization of the beasts' abilities, the Beast Tamer's command abilities, and so on.

However, once a Beast Tamer can utilize Guardian Beast Co-operation in battle, the standard for measuring strength becomes much simpler.

One would compare based on the highest standard energy level within the Cooperative Body.

Although it's not the case that the higher the energy level in cooperation, the stronger the strength must be, other factors tend to have a minimal impact on a Beast Tamer's strength at this stage.

Thus, when they saw the standard energy level that Lin Su demonstrated, exceeding eight hundred thousand, they were so shocked.

And now, with Lin Su defeating Qi Hong so effortlessly, he exhibited the terrifying prowess of over eight hundred thousand in energy levels to the fullest.

Before this, their impression of Lin Su was of a brilliant research prodigy.

From this moment on, that impression was completely overturned.

"Who else has any objections?" Li Qingmei glanced at the main team members.

At that moment, the main team members were uniformly silent.

What more was there to object to?

With Lin Su joining, the alliance with Beast Tamer University for the joint training was sure to be stable!

Standing in the crowd, the president of the Battle Club had a slightly complex expression.

Just now, he had keenly felt the gap between his own strength and Lin Su's.

He was certain that even if he gave it his all, he wouldn't stand a chance against Lin Su.

From freshman year to senior year, he had always been the strongest of his peers.

After breaking through to the fourth tier of Beast Taming Space, he had quickly taken over as club president from his predecessor.

He thought it wouldn't be difficult to maintain his status as Mountain City University's number one before graduation.

But he hadn't anticipated that he would be so easily surpassed by a freshman.

"Teacher Li, let Lin Su lead the team for this joint training," the president said with a light sigh, speaking resignedly.

Having witnessed superior strength in another, the president didn't feel comfortable giving commands, so he graciously offered the leadership position to Lin Su directly.

"Huh?" Lin Su blinked.

As a top senior, this president of the Battle Club named Wen Gu, whose photo was displayed on the school's official website, was someone Lin Su recognized.

"President Wen, you should be the one to lead," he coughed lightly, quickly interjecting, "I don't have such experience and wouldn't be able to lead the team. I'll just follow your instructions."

Upon hearing Lin Su's words, Wen Gu's expression softened slightly, his impression of the younger student improving further.

"That settles it, Wen will lead the team!" Li Qingmei declared decisively, "As for Lin Su, treat him as our secret weapon. Let's fight for honor in this training and see if we can take first place!"

"Yes!" The Battle Club members shouted in unison, brimming with confidence.

With Lin Su amongst them, their chances of taking first place had greatly increased.

After all, an energy level of over eight hundred thousand was a force that other Beast Tamer Universities were unlikely to match, right?

...

Jinghua University, Battle Club.

A battle was underway at the fight arena.

The area around the fighting ground was packed with members of the Battle Club.

At this moment, they were intently focused on the battle within the arena, not daring to even breathe too loudly.

A regular battle wouldn't warrant such attention from them.

But the battle at hand was anything but ordinary.

One of the combatants was the president of Jinghua University's Battle Club, widely recognized as the university's number one.

His opponent was a Beast Tamer with a fierce scar across his cheek, his expression savage as if he had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The latter was a man of few words, but his every move dominated the former.

"Boom!"

In full view of the audience, after just a few exchanges, the president of Jinghua's Battle Club was knocked off the platform by the scar-faced Beast Tamer.

"I win," said the scar-faced Beast Tamer calmly, "The position of president belongs to me now. I will lead the team for this training."

"...Alright," the former president of the Battle Club straightened up, disengaging from the Guardian Beast Co-operation, and looked at the scar-faced Beast Tamer with a complex expression, "Xue Long, where have you been for the past two years?"

"The frontier," Xue Long's facial muscles twitched slightly, the scar on his cheek making him look all the more intimidating.

"The frontier…" The president's eyes filled with respect, "I'm not your equal."

This Beast Tamer wasn't a senior; he was a junior.

As a freshman, he had briefly dominated his entire cohort before disappearing without a trace, never to be seen again.

Until now.

After two years of absence, he was not only a fourth-tier Beast Tamer, but he also owned a beast of the emperor-class breed.

To evolve an emperor-class breed beast, one had to exchange hundreds of thousands of contribution points with the alliance.

And because of the unique nature of the emperor-class breeds, there were two additional requirements for the point exchange.

First, only Beast Tamers who had completed the Cooperation Oath were eligible to exchange for the evolution pathway of the emperor-class breed.

Second, the contribution points for the exchange could only be obtained through rewards for scientific achievements or by killing exotic beasts; one couldn't use points that were gifted or acquired in other ways.
