Beast Taming: My first spirit beast was a frog junior?

Chapter 5 Xu Han's Old Friend

Frog Junior jumped into the water with an indifferent expression.

Xu Xian looked at it, and the frog junior slowly submerged into the water, its two big black and white eyes still staring at him, and its webbed finger pointing the middle finger slowly entering the water, full of mockery.

Wang Yue's forehead veins were bulging, and his face looked somewhat ferocious.

With his fist clenched tightly, Xu Xian had no doubt that if the frog junior showed his face again, he would be instantly killed by Wang Yue.

After taking several deep breaths, Wang Yue gave an awkward smile. "I'm sorry you had to see this."

Xu Han shrugged and smiled, jokingly saying, "It seems that you, this high-achieving student, haven't been doing as well as I thought these past few years. That puts my mind at ease."

"Go to hell." Wang Yue chuckled.

He turned his gaze to Xu Xian, who was standing next to Xu Han.

He was about 1.8 meters tall, just like me, and had a handsome appearance. He resembled Xu Han in some ways, but his features were more delicate and gentle than Xu Han's.

"This is your son?" Wang Yue looked him over carefully, then glanced at Xu Han's unshaven face. "He really is a phoenix born from a pheasant, a swan growing from an ugly duckling."

Xu Han smiled smugly, "Didn't expect that, did you?"

Wang Yue curled his lip, "What are you so smug about? Look at you, go back and see if your ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke."

During their conversation, Xu Xian finally learned what kind of relationship Xu Han had found for him.

This Wang Yue is Xu Han's childhood friend; the two even went to the same junior high and high school.

However, Wang Yue later went to the border region and stayed there for many years.

I've only been back for a short time now, and it just so happens that I've graduated.

"Alright, we can chat tonight. Let's get down to business first." Wang Yue ended his conversation with Xu Han and then pulled out several whistles from his pocket.

These whistles are all different colors.

Wang Yue asked Xu Xian, "Little fairy, are you sure you want Frog Junior as your contracted spirit beast? My permissions are still good. Two shimmering jellyfish have just entered here, and their combat power is much better than Frog Junior's."

Upon hearing the words "little fairy," Xu Xian glared at his own loose tongue, but amidst his father's smirk, he was drawn to the words "grating jellyfish."

The Grating Jellyfish, with both water and light attributes, is a rare and highly prized Black Iron-grade spirit beast.

Wang Yue didn't just say that; he took the white whistle from the colorful ones, blew it gently, and produced a strange sound that was different from ordinary whistles, as if sound waves were rippling across the water.

Two magnificent and beautiful jellyfish, each a meter tall and translucent like water yet radiating a soft glow, emerged from the water.

The grating jellyfish is endowed with grating-like skin, which appears smooth and moist on the surface, but actually secretes a special substance called "grating stings".

Upon contact, it will penetrate the body of the person it touches, and because it contains paralyzing toxins, it is generally undetectable.

The symptoms are that an hour later, the person who was stabbed will have tiny, grid-like light spikes protruding from their skin and flesh all over their body, and during this process, they will be completely paralyzed and unable to move.

Xu Xian looked at the glossy jellyfish, his eyes lit up, and a lot of information about the glossy jellyfish came out of his mouth.

"The official price of this spirit beast is one million. It needs to eat a type of sea rock creature called the Kitten Conch every day. The Kitten Conch costs about one thousand yuan per kilogram. The price has fluctuated over the years, but the fluctuations are not significant. Although the mouthparts of the Grating Jellyfish are very small, its digestive system is very strong. It needs two kilograms a day to maintain effective energy growth. This does not even include the evolutionary needs of the Grating Jellyfish. It is no less than the Iron-Eating Beast..."

"Uh..." Upon hearing Xu Xian's words, Wang Yue couldn't help but wipe away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Other teenagers, upon hearing about rare spirit beasts, immediately think about how to get their hands on them.

This guy, on the other hand, is thinking about money first.

However, it was precisely because of this that Wang Yue admired Xu Xian even more.

Only by considering one's own conditions can one enable the contracted spirit beast to go further, and only then can the path of a beast tamer progress faster.

For students from average families, unless it is a bronze-level spirit beast, most black iron-level spirit beasts are not suitable for them.

Those that can evolve into the Bronze race at a low cost are more suitable for their contract training.

"Your son is outstanding," Wang Yue praised. Xu Han's face was full of pride, his nose was turned up high, and he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.

Wang Yue was speechless. "Look at you."

Waving to let the grating jellyfish enter the water.

"Are you sure you want Frog Junior?" Wang Yue asked.

Xu Xian nodded. If he had money, he really liked the jellyfish; it was both beautiful and powerful.

Originally, he had envisioned the Fiery Hound, one of the five top-grade black iron spirit beasts in the Dragon Kingdom that were most suitable for newcomers to form contracts with and had simple and smooth evolution conditions.

The Fiery Hound is friendly to humans and is one of the carefully selected spirit beasts bred by the Dragon Kingdom over many years. It is gentle, with a fiery yellow body and faint flames floating around its ankles.

When angry or excited, the flames surge fiercely, making it incredibly cool and beloved by aspiring beast tamers who haven't yet contracted a spirit beast.

But now that I think about it, Frog Junior was obviously a better fit for me.

Frog Junior's evolved form is Frog Scholar. Frog Scholar has both water and spirit attributes. While becoming stronger, its talent ability will be greatly amplified, making it a perfect assistant on its journey to becoming a pharmacist.

I didn't mention it before because my family's financial situation was limited.

Although his parents have never lacked food or clothing in recent years, they rarely go out for leisure, all to save money for him.

Xu Xian, knowing he had the Beast Taming Pearl, didn't want Xu Han and Liu Ruyan to suffer so much. Now that things were arranged, he naturally wanted something more suitable for himself.

Seeing that Xu Xian had his own ideas, Wang Yue picked up the sky-blue whistle, put it in his mouth and blew it gently.

"Beep~"

The sound was not loud, even very faint.

The water surface rippled and the current surged.

Five frog juniors jumped onto the large lotus leaf with a "poof".

They stared obediently at Wang Yue with their big black and white eyes.

Xu Xian noticed that these five frog juniors were a size smaller than the one that had mocked him earlier.

So he asked, "What about the one from before?"

Wang Yue sighed and shook his head. "Never mind it. It's normal time for Frog Junior to rest right now. He shouldn't wake up unless there's a whistle. He's probably sleeping right now."

"That one is so strange, how can it attack people on its own initiative?" Xu Han said, somewhat angrily.

Although the attack was very weak, equivalent to being splashed with a bucket of water, what if it wasn't? What if my precious son got hurt!

Wang Yue also understood this principle.

Pulling Xu Han aside, she whispered, "Alright, I'll reduce the cost of the resources you need later."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han immediately beamed with joy.

Xu Xian looked at the five frog juniors.

Judging from their appearance, their sky-blue skin was smooth and moist, and their personalities were the usual quiet and gentle type. They all looked at me with curiosity and expectation.

For the frog junior, who possesses considerable wisdom, being able to form a contract with humans would greatly benefit the growth of their own strength.

Who doesn't want to become stronger!

To be honest, Xu Xian found it quite difficult to choose among these five.

Ten big, watery eyes were staring at me, and it seemed like choosing any one of them was wrong.
