Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chapter 298 - 183: Three Chen Yuans Combine into One-Star Chen Yuan_2

"Let’s wait for Advisor Chen to come and tell you in person. He’s had the most contact with that forest."

Professor Song nodded thoughtfully: "Is this Advisor Chen the Beastmaster who will be taking us into the mountains?"

Wang Jianping nodded, just about to say something, when the noise from the entrance caught his attention, and he turned to look.

The door opened from the outside, and four figures walked in together.

Wang Jianping smiled, pointing at the figure of Chen Yuan to introduce him to Professor Song: "Professor Song, this is our Advisor Chen."

"This time, he will be leading you into the Qinling."

Professor Song put down his teacup and slowly stood up, the eyes behind his glasses flickering with a hint of scrutiny.

But this scrutiny disappeared quickly as Professor Song’s mouth curved upward, his gaze becoming gentle: "Advisor Chen, we’ll be relying on you this time."

"Professor Song, you’re being too polite." Chen Yuan slightly bowed, a hint of respect in his words.

This Professor Song treated his own little brother well, and he remembered it in his heart.

"Is everyone here?" At that moment, Lu Ran got up, shouting, and walked quickly towards Chen Yuan, "Is there still time for a battle now?"

Seeing Chen Yuan’s confused expression, Jiang Wenning softly said, "Lu Ran, a battle enthusiast, his greatest hobby is challenging others to battles."

"He considers Li Tianyun a formidable rival, but his current win rate is comparable to the national soccer team."

Chen Yuan nodded silently, trying to avoid making eye contact with Lu Ran.

"Not everyone is here yet."

Professor Song’s robust voice echoed throughout the meeting room, and Lu Ran scratched his dark red hair and returned to the sofa to rest.

"What about the Beastmaster you recommended? Not here yet?" Professor Song looked at Chen Wenhao and Jiang Wenning.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously looked at Chen Yuan, standing in the middle.

"Teacher, this is my brother."

"Professor, this is my friend."

Professor Song frowned.

It wasn’t just Professor Song who was surprised; everyone in the meeting room showed expressions of shock and confusion.

Lu Ran opened his mouth, speaking without thinking: "What do you mean? Are you recommending the same person, hahaha?"

But as he spoke, his voice grew smaller, and the look he cast on Chen Yuan turned suspicious and uncertain.

Only Wang Jianping remained calm, like an experienced captain unmoved by stormy seas, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the armrest of the sofa.

Chen Yuan stepped forward half a step and took the initiative to speak: "Professor Song, this is a bit complicated."

"No, it’s not complicated."

It’s difficult for ordinary people to imagine the experience of Professor Song. Having seen all sorts of strange occurrences over the years, he quickly regained his composure, even offering a kind smile to Chen Yuan: "So, you’re both the Association Consultant, Wenhao’s brother, and..."

Professor Song looked at Jiang Wenning: "Her friend?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes."

Professor Song clapped his hands lightly, his forehead smoothing out with a smile: "This is a good thing; it means your abilities are recognized by them."

"It’s good as well; losing two potentially unpredictable Beastmasters might be beneficial for this mission."

At this point, Professor Song shifted his gaze to Jiang Wenning: "I was considering how to tactfully dismiss your recommended Beastmaster if they failed the assessment."

"Now it’s settled, no need to worry."

As his words fell, Professor Song turned his head to Chen Wenhao: "Wenhao, if you’d mentioned earlier that your brother is an Association Consultant, there wouldn’t have been this misunderstanding."

Chen Wenhao’s mouth opened, but he didn’t explain.

He couldn’t possibly tell the teacher he just found out about this himself.....

Wang Jianping stood up and lightly clapped his hands: "Professor, allow me to formally introduce you."

"This is our Advisor Chen Yuan, he’s the first mid-level Beastmaster in our city, and Taibai... he has approached that Mysterious Forest many times."

Professor Song’s focus was entirely on the last sentence, while Lu Ran’s attention was on the string of titles.

Lu Ran, supporting himself with his right hand on the sofa, flipped over agilely in front of Chen Yuan, his eyes burning with aggressive intent: "Battle?"

His battle invitation was very direct, but his tone carried determination and resolve.

The other three Combat Type students were already used to Lu Ran’s reaction.

So far, Lu Ran is the only student at the academy who has battled with every Beastmaster.

Once he sets his sights on you, a battle is inevitable.

This Association Consultant may have a string of titles, but in the eyes of these main campus students, it’s still not impressive enough.

If they wished, they could assume a Consultant role in any city-level Beastmaster Association once they graduated.

Wang Jianping coughed lightly, trying to change the subject: "It’s getting late, let’s have something to eat first."

Advisor Chen is still in a growth phase and is not yet ready to fight with the main campus students.

Whether he wins or loses, if word gets out, it’s not a good thing.

Professor Song, however, chuckled: "A pre-dinner exercise would be just right, let’s see Advisor Chen’s strength."

He paused and then continued: "Wenhao often says your talent is exceptional to me."

Chen Wenhao blinked.

Have I mentioned this to the teacher?

Wang Jianping noticed the anticipation in Professor Song’s eyes and immediately understood his intention.

He wanted to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of Chen Yuan.

After all, Professor Song is the chief of this research expedition. Now that there are two fewer local Beastmasters to guide them, to ensure the success of the operation, it’s only natural for him to assess the remaining Beastmaster.
