Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

November 20th, Thursday.

Sunny.

The weather is pretty nice today. Lv Hao, who made a point to go to bed early last night, woke up feeling refreshed. He glanced at his phone, hurriedly turned on the computer, and started his livestream.

As the secondary commentator for the Da Feng Cup, he’ll spend the entire day sitting in front of the computer watching the competition and explaining it to netizens.

His Pet Beast’s abilities are quite ordinary, and his understanding of pet beast battles is pretty average too. Fortunately, his show is very engaging, and as soon as he starts broadcasting, a large audience floods into the livestream.

"The streamer went to bed early last night just to wake up early to broadcast the competition for everyone. With such dedication, isn’t it reasonable to send a wave of gifts?"

As soon as he spoke, Lv Hao saw the screen flooded with uniform bullet comments — Streamer, check out last night’s Phoenix City Daily report.

Seeing that the match hadn’t started yet, Lv Hao glanced around, opened the web page, searched for Phoenix City Daily, and found last night’s report.

Quickly, after reading the whole report, Lv Hao fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Lv Hao looked up at the camera, his expression complex: "So, this person is the Beastmaster of that Gale Hunting Dog, and he’s also an advisor at the Baokun City Beastmaster Association."

"That’s pretty impressive, no wonder he doesn’t care about this easily gained attention."

Lv Hao muttered, suddenly noticing a bullet comment—The streamer’s driving skills are not as good as the opponent’s dog, and even his elimination skills can’t compare to the opponent’s who made it to the main match, suggesting the streamer restart.

Seeing this, Lv Hao’s face changed dramatically, becoming as red as an apple, and he angrily retorted: "What do you know, the streamer genuinely entered the field and fought. This person is an association consultant and didn’t even need to compete to enter the main match."

After a pause, Lv Hao’s saliva flew as his tone grew firm: "Have you ever thought about this—this person’s Gale Hunting Dog is so good at driving, they must have spent a lot of time practicing driving, and definitely didn’t have time to improve their abilities."

"I’m saying it now, this person is definitely only skilled for the first-round eliminations. I’ll be livestreaming their match later, just watch."

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen in front showed the venue — it’s a circular stadium, filled with spectators sitting all around, and four huge screens were placed in the center, displaying a countdown for the match.

When the countdown reached the last second, the screen showed the avatars and names of both contestants.

The contestant on the left was a young woman with long flowing hair and a petite figure, named Shu Xin.

The contestant on the right was a young man with black hair, handsome features, tall and slender, wearing simple clothes and smiling.

Lv Hao commented: "This dude is pretty handsome."

The next second, Lv Hao noticed the bullet comments saying it’s the Beastmaster of the Gale Hunting Dog, and he immediately restrained his smile, pouting: "But still not as good as the streamer."

"Alright, let’s get back on track."

"The contestants are Shu Xin, an advisor from Kang’an City, and Chen Yuan, an advisor from Baokun City. They have the same roles, so their skills should be similar."

"But the streamer still holds the view that Advisor Chen Yuan’s Gale Hunting Dog is surely just average in skill, as it spends a lot of time driving and likely doesn’t have time to train."

"So, the streamer boldly predicts that Advisor Chen might not be a match for Advisor Shu."

Seeing bullet comments questioning his prediction, Lv Hao widened his eyes and repeatedly patted his chest: "If the streamer is wrong, I’ll livestream eating canned herring and drink all the juice inside!"

On the screen, the two contestants emerged from the contestant passage, walked to the center of the arena to shake hands, then returned to the sides of the field, facing each other from afar.

"Alright, the match is about to begin. The streamer will scrutinize this battle with the most stringent attitude, any mistakes from the contestants will be mercilessly pointed out by the streamer."

Above the field,

Looking at the spectators seated in all directions and facing the cameras aimed at him, Chen Yuan took a deep breath: "Why am I feeling a bit excited?"

Compared to the Taibai Cup, the Da Feng Cup is clearly on a larger scale, with noticeably more spectators. The roaring cheers were like waves that almost submerged him.

Chen Yuan didn’t know how many spectators knew him, but it didn’t matter. Through this battle, he was confident most audiences would remember him.

Thoughts flashed, and a bright smile spread across Chen Yuan’s face. He waved to the audience all around, and his smile was projected on the big screen, bright and dazzling like sunlight slanting into the stadium.

Instantly, the applause was thunderous.

Zhuang Jianbai sat in the front row seats. His match is in the afternoon, therefore he specifically made time to watch the match of the Beastmaster he’s most interested in.

"Teacher, how strong do you think Advisor Chen is now? Do I have a chance to defeat him?" Zhuang Jianbai asked.

Jiang Yuntao crossed his arms, glanced to the side at Zhuang Jianbai, and replied calmly: "You already know the answer, don’t you?"

Zhuang Jianbai fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, he already knew the answer to this question in his heart.

About a week ago, Lu Ran from the headquarters of Donghuang Beast Taming Academy easily defeated him, but in a conversation, it turned out that Lu Ran had also been beaten by Advisor Chen.

Even one of the strongest students from the academy headquarters wasn’t a match for Advisor Chen, so how could he possibly hope to defeat him?

"But you must remember, in a battle, anything is possible. Strength isn’t the only factor determining victory. As long as you perfectly counter his two Pet Beasts, there might still be hope for victory." Seeing Zhuang Jianbai’s dim eyes, Jiang Yuntao spoke softly.

"Really?" The hope in Zhuang Jianbai’s eyes reignited.

"Really." Jiang Yuntao patted Zhuang Jianbai’s shoulder, though there was a slight evasion in his gaze.
