Super Beast Tamer - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Indexes Collection Plan

Zheng Qing had previously provoked Chen An in public, so now that Chen An bypassed him, how could he remain silent?

What everyone could not figure out was that Zheng Qing indeed remained silent.

Chen An battled with the person ranked 97th, but Zheng Qing did not appear at all.

The onlookers were reluctant to leave and insisted on waiting for Zheng Qing to show up.

They did not see Zheng Qing. However, they saw another new battle. The red-haired man issued a challenge to someone on the ranking. Although the opponent did not have a high ranking, he had a very good defense.

It could be hailed as an impenetrable defense. There was no loophole. He attacked the opponent from every angle, but the opponent’s beast was able to defend in time.

The red-haired man kept changing his attacks, but to no avail. The opponent’s defense was very comprehensive, and he had very high-defensive attributes.

After a long fight, the Berserker Wolf was exhausted, while the red-haired man became irritable and hysterical. Waves and waves of anger swept over him.

The most worrying thing had indeed happened.

It was the familiar red flames again, engulfing the Beast Tamer and the beast. They had lost sanity and reason to the flames, his hideous and terrifying expression appearing once again…

De Yuan College, in the dormitory…

Chen An did not feel exhausted at all after the two consecutive beast battles. Instead, he was full of energy. The few days of rest that he had taken were not in vain.

For Chen An, fighting against the people who had a lower ranking was easy and more rewarding.

Chen An launched the indexes with satisfaction. There was already a newly activated beast in it, a cute-looking kitten. When he had first been fighting in the battle, it had been moving with agility, waiting for opportunities to attack him from behind.

It was considered a good beast, but the Beast Tamer was not as powerful. He had missed the best opportunity to strike and suffered a terrible defeat.

Chen An looked at the indexes with a satisfied look on his face, studying ways to integrate them.

Someone opened the door; it was Liu Ran.

Previously, Teacher Leopard had told him to carry another plant-based beast. Hence, he had gone searching for them, spending his time at auctions and Treasure Cove.

He sighed as soon as he came back. “Hey, buddy, fate is very amazing. I met you previously, and I obtained the Evening Moon Vine. Why is it that I can’t meet someone like you again?”

This was not the first time Chen An heard the same words. He did not bother to refute and just smiled at him.

Judging from Liu Ran’s expression, he had not managed to find a beast that he liked.

However, he was not discouraged. He sat beside Chen An with a grin on his face as he said mysteriously, “Buddy, I have a question for you. You must promise not to be angry.”

“Tell me about it first.”

Chen An thought to himself, If I really get angry, I will have to hit his head.

“Upon returning to De Yuan, I heard everybody talking about you. Let me make this clear first. I am not the one who said all these.”

“What did they say?” In fact, even if Liu Ran did not say it, Chen An could probably guess what those people were talking about.

“They said you were scared. Zheng Qing directly challenged the person ranked 10th, while you challenged the opponents ranked last. Even for other people, they would not challenge the ranking in this manner.”

“Then how do other people do it?”

“If they are powerful, at the very least, they will bypass those ranked at the bottom. They will then be able to move up the ranks and get to battle with the higher-ranking Beast Tamers as soon as possible. Everyone does it this way. If I were as strong as you, I would directly challenge those who have a higher ranking.”

Chen An nodded in approval, but his expression said otherwise.

“Also, what do you intend to do with Zheng Qing?”

“Now, it’s not the time to challenge him.”

Liu Ran was confused. “What’s so scary about Zheng Qing? He is so weak, losing twice in a row, and he suffered a crushing defeat. It makes people laugh their heads off. You should take the opportunity to give him another blow so that he has a clear idea of the wide gap between the two of you. In this way, he will no longer make things difficult for you in De Yuan.”

“You are very thoughtful.”

Liu Ran thought that Chen An was complimenting him, and he smiled. “Of course, you are my buddy.”

Previously, everyone was fearful of the established and powerful Icicles River Carp clan, thinking too highly of Zheng Qing.

Presently, everyone kicked a man who was down.

However, Chen An knew that Zheng Qing indeed possessed a super-grade Combat Beast and had mastered a Joint Combo. To defeat him, he had to work harder to become more powerful.

In others’ eyes, they might find it odd that he challenged people from the bottom of the leader board one by one. In fact, he was unlocking indexes.

If he challenged them one by one, the more opponents he defeated, the more indexes he could collect.

They did not know that right now, he was improving rapidly at an astonishing speed. He was waiting for the day when Zheng Qing lost his cool and battled it out with him.

Liu Ran naturally could not understand what he meant. “Buddy, why do I feel that you are planning something else? I am confused, and I don’t understand.”

“Forget it if you don’t understand. You’ll know in the future.”

Liu Ran knew that he could not find out any information from Chen An, so he gave up. He suddenly remembered something else and changed the topic. “I went to Treasure Cove today. Let me tell you. I really saw a particularly powerful beast. It is comparable to the Evening Moon Vine!”

Chen An’s interest was piqued at the high praise that he had for the beast. “What beast is it? Is it a plant-based beast?”

“No.” Liu Ran shook his head. He did know more about plant-based beasts, but he still had some knowledge about other types of beasts.

Liu Ran tried to keep Chen An in suspense. “I have been staring at the Beast Tamer of the beast, wanting to see how they look like in actual combat. However, it’s a pity that no one challenges them. It’s such a precious treasure.”

“What is the treasure that you have a liking for?” Chen An and Liu Ran had known each other for a while, and he knew that Liu Ran was very enthusiastic about the pursuit of new treasures.

“That is a beast that looks like an egret. It has very strong control over the wind attribute. If one can bet on a skills book, or even better, the beast, it is a sure-win deal!”

“Egret? Wind-Dwelling Egret?” Chen An made a bold guess. Perhaps the beast that he was looking for happened to be in Treasure Cove.

After going to pains to look for the beast, he finally found it by sheer luck!

If he could really find a Wind-Dwelling Egret, he could solve the red-haired man’s problem as soon as possible. Chen An felt bad that he always seemed to be gloomy and depressed.

“I don’t know what it’s called, but judging from your behavior, you seem to have heard of it?” Liu Ran approached him again, looking inquisitively at him.

Chen An patted him on the shoulder. “Will you be searching for your beast tomorrow? Let’s go together!”

“Really?” Liu Ran was pleasantly surprised, thinking that Chen An would help him find a new beast. “It’s great. I will definitely be lucky, and I will certainly meet my beast with you around!”

Chen An smiled helplessly, hoping that Liu Ran would not get the wrong idea.

The Wind-Dwelling Egret could suppress the madness of Berserker Wolf. If he happened to meet its Beast Tamer, there was bound to be a fight.
