Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 176 - 134: He Is a Rival You Cannot Defeat Even with Your Full Strength (Part 2)
Chapter 176: Chapter 134: He Is a Rival You Cannot Defeat Even with Your Full Strength (Part 2)
Chen Weiyi replied with a cheerful smile, “You’re all guests, it’s the right thing to do.”
During the conversation, the little ones on the farm occasionally passed by the hall, casting curious glances at the two strangers.
“You have this many Pet Beasts on your farm?” Jiang Yuntao exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Weiyi chuckled, “He picked them up from outside and simply keeps them here on the farm.”
“Quack quack quack!”
Hearing this, Run Run Duck immediately bent its wings at its waist, striking a hands-on-hips pose, and protested.
I came here on my own!
Chen Weiyi ignored Run Run Duck and turned to Jiang Yuntao, asking, “Is there something you came here for?”
Jiang Yuntao glanced at Zhuang Jianbai, pondered a bit, and slowly explained, “Sir, it’s like this. My student wants to have a Pet Beast battle with Advisor Chen Yuan.”
Chen Weiyi nodded in realization, “So that’s why you came all the way here.”
After a pause, he laughed, “This young man is a champion, so please go easy on my boy.”
“I don’t often see him battling other Beastmasters.”
“Oh, there was that exhibition match the other day.”
“But an exhibition match is mainly for show and shouldn’t be taken seriously.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuntao couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, and even the usually unreadable Zhuang Jianbai was momentarily taken aback.
Who should go easy on whom exactly?
As evening drew near,
Chen Yuan finally made it back to his farm gate before sunset.
“Phew, finally home.” Chen Yuan let out a long breath.
As usual, this forest patrol took two days.
After bidding farewell to the Flame-tailed Fox and the Ice Fox, he proceeded along the forest protection route, mapping as he went. He reached the ranger’s cabin by nightfall without any mishaps, although the Electric Flying Cat lived up to its reputation by sniffing out a level two Spirit Plant.
Earlier today, he had checked on the Mysterious Forest and nothing unusual was found.
Then, he descended the mountain and headed home.
“Yin yin～”
The Twin Flower Concubine sat on Chen Yuan’s shoulder, gently waving its petal-like hands.
Bringing the Twin Flower Concubine into the mountain was undoubtedly the right decision, as it attracted many wild Pet Beasts for Chen Yuan to pet.
“Ka～”
The diligent Iron Head saw Chen Yuan return, hurried over, and pointed a paw toward the courtyard.
“Oh? Visitors?” Chen Yuan looked puzzled.
Who would come to the farm?
Zhang Hao?
No, Zhang Hao doesn’t need Iron Head to specifically notify him.
But the others he knew lived far from Xuanhe Village and would certainly inform him before coming.
Walking into the farm and arriving at the courtyard, Chen Yuan noticed a somewhat familiar figure.
“Zhuang Jianbai?”
When at the gymnasium, Chen Yuan had watched Zhuang Jianbai’s Pet Beast battle and had some impression of him.
However, the middle-aged man beside Zhuang Jianbai was unfamiliar to him.
Jiang Yuntao quickly stood up and extended his right hand, “Hello, I’m Jiang Yuntao, a lecturer at Yunhua Beast Taming Academy. I apologize for arriving unannounced.”
This was Zhuang Jianbai’s first time seeing his “Heart Demon” up close, which made his heart pound wildly and his nerves tense up all at once.
He stood up, tried to steady his emotions, and nodded, “Hello, I’m Zhuang Jianbai, a student at Yunhua Beast Taming Academy.”
“I know you,” Chen Yuan looked at Zhuang Jianbai and smiled, “Congratulations, Taibai Cup champion.”
During yesterday’s finals, he couldn’t watch since there was no signal on the mountain.
However, on his way down the mountain earlier, he watched the finals’ recording and, as expected, Zhuang Jianbai had won the championship.
Looking at Chen Yuan, who was congratulating him, Zhuang Jianbai quickly waved his hand, “No, no, it was just my luck.”
After a slight pause, he mustered his courage, looked at the Chen Yuan who was now so close, and was about to state his intention when he saw a familiar figure running over from a distance.
Upon returning to the farm, Cola immediately went to play with Run Run Duck, but soon felt a pang of hunger and dashed off to find its owner.
“Ow…..”
But when Cola realized the familiar figure standing in front of its owner, its eyes widened in shock, and its thoughts raced.
This is bad!
He’s finally here to report!
Recalling how it had once given his Pet Beast a good beating, Cola knew things weren’t looking good and hurriedly bit Chen Yuan’s pant leg, trying to pull him away.
Master! Don’t listen to his nonsense!
Quick, let’s go!
Meanwhile,
The moment had come.
There was the Gale Hunting Dog that needed no Beastmaster’s command to defeat him.
At that moment, Zhuang Jianbai’s heart surged with waves of emotion.
But having won the Taibai Cup and with the Winter Dog successfully advancing, along with mentally preparing himself repeatedly, his mindset had changed drastically.
Therefore, he quickly calmed his emotions and asked Chen Yuan, “Advisor Chen Yuan, could you have a Pet Beast battle with me?”
After saying this, Zhuang Jianbai suddenly felt a massive weight lift off his heart, and his previously taut nerves relaxed.
Chen Yuan soothed Cola, raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Jianbai, “A Pet Beast battle?”
“Yes.” Zhuang Jianbai’s face broke into a carefree smile, eyes full of confidence, “Back then, your Gale Hunting Dog defeated me without any command. I couldn’t accept it and have been hung up on it since.”
“Now, I finally stand before you and have the courage to challenge you.”
“Please send out your strongest Pet Beast, and I will also send out my strongest Pet Beast for a battle.”
His gaze was intense, directly meeting Chen Yuan’s eyes.
