Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chapter 299 - 183: Three Chen Yuans Combine to Make One-Star Chen Yuan_3

From the Pet Beast battles, not only can the strength levels be discerned, but also the personality and style of a Beastmaster can be explored through numerous details.

As long as other aspects of Chen Yuan are up to par, lower strength is not an issue, after all, there are powerful Beastmasters in the team.

"Advisor Chen, you must do your best." Wang Jianping’s thoughts surged.

He was very aware of Professor Song’s status and influence in the academic world. If Chen Yuan could perform well in the battle, it would greatly benefit his future development.

Plus, with this connection with Chen Wenhao, as long as Chen Yuan performs normally, he can easily gain Professor Song’s favor.

But facing Lu Ran, a genius Beastmaster who ranks in the top five at the headquarters academy, can Advisor Chen really perform normally?

Wang Jianping certainly has confidence in Chen Yuan but inevitably feels anxious.

The headquarters academy gathers the most talented and outstanding young Beastmasters in Donghuang—the ability to rank in the top five definitely belongs to the first tier Beastmasters at this moment.

"Great, no problem." Chen Yuan replied cheerfully with a radiant smile.

Chen Yuan’s reaction surprised Zhou Xu.

What’s going on with Advisor Chen?

Not only did he agree to participate in the Qin Province Beastmaster competition, he also agreed to the battle so readily.

Is this really Advisor Chen?

Chen Yuan had his own considerations.

Since Professor Song spoke up, it was obvious he wanted to use this opportunity to evaluate his abilities.

And he coincidentally wanted to seize this opportunity to gain a voice.

That Mysterious Forest is quite extraordinary; it surely hides major secrets, inevitably posing danger.

Not only the Mysterious Forest, but even other areas in Qinling are fraught with danger; if they don’t follow orders and run around, they could easily cause trouble.

If he doesn’t agree to the battle and gain the voice through strength, then the subsequent plot development is obvious:

Lu Ran and the others might not respect him and conflict with him everywhere during the actions, whereas Spark and Cola might display extraordinary strength and catch Lu Ran’s attention.

Thus, a point of conflict emerges, forcing him to confront Lu Ran, gaining authority amidst show-off moments.

Or encounter danger, solving it calmly, gaining fresh perspectives from the crowd for himself.

Chen Yuan was not prepared to follow this plot development; a late battle is not as good as an early battle, precisely to make those students who visited Qinling for the first time obediently listen to him.

Running around in Qinling indeed can encounter danger.

Even if they are headquarters students, they might encounter wild Pet Beasts and fatal dangers they can’t withstand.

"I’ll arrange the battle room."

Seeing Chen Yuan and Lu Ran about to battle, Zhou Xu’s spirit was invigorated, and he quickly ran out of the meeting room.

Moments later, everyone arrived at a battle room.

"One-on-one or two-on-two?" Lu Ran with hands in pockets, tilted his head slightly, a tuft of dark golden hair swaying in the wind, his tone was nonchalant.

Professor Song spoke: "One-on-one, don’t waste too much time."

"Don’t worry, Professor, I always fight quickly."

Lu Ran’s lips curled as he shot an OK gesture towards Professor Song.

Three Combat Type students exchanged glances and whispered:

"How many minutes do you think?"

"Two minutes, I feel this Advisor Chen’s strength is quite good; he should be able to hold on that long."

"Baokun City is not Shanghai, can their advisor compare to ours there? I think at most one minute."

"Bro..."

Chen Wenhao stood beside Chen Yuan, hesitating to speak.

Even as a research student, Chen Wenhao had heard of Lu Ran’s most prided speed attack strategy.

As long as the opponent is weaker, he’ll end the battle swiftly, simple and ruthless, showing no mercy.

Jiang Wenning said nothing, her gaze shifting between Chen Yuan and Lu Ran, eventually showing a smile of anticipation.

She silently stepped back two steps, took out her phone, opened the "Fruit Factory" group chat, and sent a message: "Orange is about to battle, V me 50 for live streaming."

Chang Yuhuan: "You’ve already met?"

Jiang Wenning: "Yes."

Li Junyue: "What’s the opponent’s background?"

Jiang Wenning: "My classmate, ranked in the top five in the academy, though the ranking has some water, but still strong."

Chang Yuhuan: "There’s water in the ranking?"

Jiang Wenning: "The last academy ranking was at the beginning of the month, when some students were busy participating in competitions and did not participate in the ranking. Also, his fighting style is quite special, advantageous in formal battles."

While Jiang Wenning was busy typing, Chen Yuan and Lu Ran stood on opposite sides of the field, staring at each other from afar, an intense battle brewing.

Lu Ran with one hand in pocket, his posture was casual, radiating unrestrained and stylish: "Better to say ahead, my Pet Beast is somewhat violent, might not control its power well."

A slight pause, he stared at Chen Yuan, lips moved slightly: "Have you prepared enough medicinal supplies here?"

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Is there even a trash talk segment?"

"Ah ha ha." Lu Ran suddenly became aware, realizing this isn’t the arena, awkwardly scratched his dark red hair, murmuring, "Oops, forgot this isn’t a competition."

Wang Jianping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

So, it wasn’t deliberate provocation...

"Alright, I’ll send out my Pet Beast first." Lu Ran’s demeanor shifted immediately to seriousness, and a white summoning array emerged on the ground in front of him.

A Pet Beast about one and a half meters tall appeared slowly, muscles bulging like lava cracks, its hair fiery red with golden streaks, its tail ablaze with unending orange-red flames.

Its fists carried a faint flame, sparks flew between its fingers, its eyes bloodshot.

Chen Yuan softly uttered the name of this Pet Beast: "Fire-type Pet Beast, Blast Flame Fighting Ape."

It just so happened that he also sent out a Fire-type Pet Beast.

"Chirp!"

A piercing screech suddenly echoed, an orange-yellow figure pierced through the white light, spreading its wings and soared over the field.

Its open wings scattered sparks, the fire burning at the tail exceedingly bright, a pair of deep blue eyes looking down—a Blast Flame Fighting Ape was already eager, eyes radiating battle spirit.
