The Master of Beasts

Chapter 982 - 346: The Calamity Physique

"Who is this guy!"

Zhang Ruo nudged Chang Ming with his shoulder and asked in a low voice.

Chang Ming wore a bright smile in front of Zi Wan, but that didn’t mean he was the same to everyone else, even though Zhang Ruo was the third-ranked student in this batch.

Suddenly, Chang Ming replied, as if recalling something he didn’t want to: "Calamity Body Hong Lei, he is our senior from several batches ago, also the most talented student in that batch, or rather, in the last ten batches!"

"The most talented?" Zhang Ruo looked in disbelief at Hong Lei, who was continuously being silly.

"Wait, Calamity Body? Why does this name sound so ominous!" Zhang Ruo shivered slightly.

"It’s not just a feeling; it’s true!"

"Cultivators with a Calamity Body have immense talent and cultivate rapidly, but they’re extremely unlucky. Not only are they unlucky, but people close to them are too!"

"Otherwise, how do you think it’s possible that we coincidentally ran into the strategist, whom we might not even see once in a year, just when we were about to depart!" Chang Ming said with a squinted smile.

"Boom"

An abrupt brake caused everyone in the vehicle to jolt. Before they could complain, the trembling Dark Hand in charge of transport said, "There’s a high-energy reaction ahead, possibly a group of fierce beasts, with the highest level being Fifth Level!"

"What, Fifth Level!"

"We’re doomed!"

"No way, I just graduated!"

Zhang Ruo swallowed hard, incredulously asking, "Is this also because of the Calamity Body?"

"I don’t know, but probably!"

"Hahaha, we’ve run into a little cutie. Let me handle it!"

Hong Lei burst into laughter and directly smashed a large hole in the car roof.

Three days ago

After deciding to form a guard, Chen Jiuge first sought Yun Yan’s opinion, then sent an application to Fang Lei.

According to Yun Yan, Fang Lei is a stickler for rules and desires the position of Star Lord. He is aware of Dang Yue’s recent activities. Sending the application to form a guard at this time, hoping for his assistance, would surely be approved, and with luck, attract some strong members.

As for concerns about spies being planted, there’s no need to worry; Fang Lei is very upright!

All he wants is to achieve by force, not favoring schemes and tricks. He is someone who adores the strong!

"Boss, you called us?"

Mad Bear and Leng She pushed the door open and entered.

Putting away the nearly finished application, Chen Jiuge crossed his hands and said, "Although I’ve heard from Xing Xia that you refused, I still want to ask once more, do you want to join Dark Star?"

"I’m recently forming a guard; if you are willing to join, you can become captains right away!"

The salary for a Dark Hand captain is not low; at least five thousand Life Money a month and with some gray income, one or two tens of thousands of Life Money are possible, not inferior to the Guard House’s pay.

Plus, Dark Star is not a minor force, and its cultivation techniques, secret techniques, and rare spiritual materials are no worse than those of the Guard House.

"Haha, I’ll pass, Boss. Xing Xia and I are old partners. Since she refused, so will I!" Mad Bear chuckled and declined.

Though somewhat disappointed, Chen Jiuge was prepared. Though all three were partners, Mad Bear and Xing Xia were clearly closer. Besides, Xing Xia, as a Mind Master, indeed needs someone closely protecting her. Mad Bear, a Fourth Level Martial Artist, indeed is very suitable.

"How about you, Leng She?"

Chen Jiuge had the most hope in Leng She, as Leng She is not a dancer, but a Beast Warrior.

Beast Warriors can transform themselves into beast forms, a profession said to have been created by a Sinful Doctor whose cultivation reached incredible heights!

Leng She’s beast form is a serpent, possessing extremely strong concealment and assassination abilities, and though slightly weaker in direct confrontation, is still a rare talent.

With a hint of hesitation on his face, Leng She was in fact also pondering.

The initial, unwavering refusal was due to uncertainty about Chen Jiuge’s situation in the Gladiatorial Arena. Moreover, at the beginning of Chen Jiuge’s tenure as Vajra, Leng She didn’t think he could securely hold that position.

But it’s been over four months now; although Chen Jiuge’s position isn’t very stable yet, it’s much better than in the beginning.

Although Dang Yue’s troublemaking has just passed, Chen Jiuge has also turned down; at least he isn’t as useless as he seems!

Moreover, to gain a better treatment, a contribution must at least be made. If Chen Jiuge were completely secure, there’d be no need for him to extend multiple invitations.

After all, in terms of status and position, Chen Jiuge is much stronger!

"I need to think about it!"

"Is that so? Fine, I hope you don’t take too long!"

Although he didn’t directly recruit Leng She, his attitude nevertheless softened, which wasn’t a total loss.

The sun set in the west, and the rosy clouds appeared extraordinarily colorful in the distance.

"Another day has passed!"

"Let’s go!"

"Roar!"

The somewhat noisy Lightning Lion leaped out from the corner of the office and landed on Chen Jiuge’s shoulder in the blink of an eye.

"Alright, let’s head home!"

Today, Chen Jiuge didn’t plan to spend the night at the Drunken Life and Dream Death residence.

Because of Dang Yue’s Iron Wall Gorilla, among the elite fierce beasts cultivated in the Gladiatorial Arena, there’s only one left. As for the Rain Frog, Chen Jiuge didn’t plan to leave it here.

The Rain Frog has strong talent; Chen Jiuge plans, after the Other Shore Flower Chamber of Commerce sends the Soul Treasure in a few days, to make it his second Contracted Beast.

So today, he needs to return to Dusk Manor to personally select some powerful elite fierce beasts to ensure the stability of the Gladiatorial Arena.
