Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 98 The championship is a piece of cake!

The honey badger charged forward without any intention of holding back. As the eldest brother in the family, it would punish its younger siblings equally, even though they were usually mischievous and sometimes had disagreements.

But if my younger siblings are bullied by others, that's definitely not acceptable!

Driven by the desire to avenge Amber, Honey Badger planned to charge forward, unleash his domain skill, and quickly render his opponent incapable of resistance before giving him a good beating.

With the honey badger's current mastery of area-of-effect skills, it can already apply three times the gravity to enemies within its range.

When he saw the honey badger charging at him, Luo Shixun was already convinced that he was going to lose, but he didn't want to give up easily.

While accelerating, use the charge skill to create distance from the peacekeeper and prevent it from using its area-of-effect skill.

However, Ah Dai in the air was also very angry. It unleashed three Wind Gathering Slashes, three wide Wind Gathering Slashes as sharp as blades, slashing towards Luo Shixun from three directions.

The Wind Gathering Slash came straight at him, and Luo Shixun could only swing his sword to block the attack.

This attack interrupted his charge and blocked his path. In that instant of pause, the honey badger had already caught up to the range of the domain skill.

When the honey badger unleashed its domain skill, and three times the gravity suddenly pressed down on him, Luo Shixun was caught off guard and stumbled to the ground.

He knew that if he didn't admit defeat, he would be ganged up on and beaten, so he quickly tried to shout out that he was admitting defeat.

It turned out that his mouth was blocked by something, preventing him from making any sound of admitting defeat.

The thing that gagged him was the invisible Rainbow Jade. Rainbow Jade didn't use any attack skills, so its invisibility wouldn't be dispelled. And within the domain skill, the Honey Badger could sense Rainbow Jade, and naturally knew what it had done.

"Hiss." Boss, hurry up.

"Roar." Here it comes.

Hearing the conversation between her spirit pets, Lin Manman silently turned her eyes away, pretending not to hear.

Amber had already woken up and saw the honey badger beating up Luo Shixun to avenge it. It happily rushed over to join in the beating.

If you get beaten up, you should beat them back!

Seeing that Luo Shixun was about to faint from being ganged up on, Lin Manman quickly called out to stop the spirit pets. It's enough for them to vent their anger; if they really hurt him, she wouldn't be able to explain it.

Upon receiving Lin Manman's order to stop, the Honey Badger let out a low, warning growl at Luo Shixun on the ground, while Amber bared her sharp teeth at him, showing Luo Shixun that she was not to be trifled with.

What appeared to be a brawl between three spirit pets was actually involving four. Lin Manman quietly recalled Hongyu, who was still invisible, into her spirit pet space.

When the referee stepped forward to check on Luo Shixun's condition, Lin Manman stood to the side feeling a little guilty, afraid that Luo Shixun would reveal that Hong Yu had gagged him.

However, her fears didn't come true. After confirming that Luo Shixun was unable to continue, the referee had the medical team carry him off for treatment. Then, it was announced that Lin Manman was the winner of the match! The final whistle blew.

The audience erupted in cheers once again, while many viewers in the live stream expressed sympathy for Luo Shixun's plight.

"The second young master of the Luo family is still quite handsome. This beating is too brutal. I feel sorry for his handsome face for a second."

"This one seems to have been beaten the worst..."

"What's so terrible about it? He's only seriously injured, but our Amber is completely unconscious!!"

"Sister Man is a tough woman who doesn't talk much."

"Watching her play in the singles match made me numb; she won so easily."

"There's no way around it. She's a level two Beastmaster, yet she has six spirit pets. She can handle single-target attacks, group attacks, and even heal. She's like a one-woman team. Who can go toe-to-toe with her in a one-on-one match?"

"I'm starting to miss those genius young masters and ladies. Without them, all I can do is watch Sister Man fry fish in the pond..."

Lin Manman returned to the audience seats to wait for the final match arrangements, but unexpectedly, Luo Shixun, who had just been carried away for treatment, followed her.

Judging from the bruises on his face that hadn't faded yet, he must have just treated his emergency injuries first before coming to find her.

Lin Manman looked at him warily. "What are you doing here?"

With his face contorted in a flamboyant manner, Luo Shixun flashed Lin Manman a fawning smile. "Could I spend 500,000 Chinese yuan to buy a white tiger to leave its paw print on this photo?"

As he spoke, he pulled a photograph of amber from his pocket.

Lin Manman and Fang Yaqi next to her both looked on with utter confusion, staring at the person with suspicion.

"You're a fan of Amber?" Then why did you hit Amber so hard? Lin Manman frowned.

"It wasn't me, it was my sister..." Luo Shixun shuddered as he thought of the tigress at home.

"I had no choice but to injure Baihu during the match. In a match, there are always some bumps and bruises..." He scratched the still-healing wound on his face meaningfully, his eyes darting around guiltily.

Lin Manman: ……

It seems he deliberately left this injury to gain sympathy.

Remembering how Hongyu had silenced him and wouldn't let him admit defeat, he didn't say anything. Lin Manman reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"But we'll have to wait until the game is over."

"Alright, we'll wait!" Luo Shixun revealed a smile of relief after surviving the ordeal.

At this point, the match order for the finals was also determined. Lin Manman was in the first and second matches. Her opponent in the first match was a female mage, and in the second match, she was a female warrior.

The female mage in the first round, perhaps fearing a tragic end like Luo Shixun in the previous round, decisively chose to forfeit when she discovered her opponent was Lin Manman.

The female warrior who fought in the second match learned a set of sword techniques, and their power was quite good. If Lin Manman hadn't suffered a loss today and had continued to let Amber train alone, she probably wouldn't have been able to win so easily.

However, after suffering a loss at Luo Shixun's hands, Lin Manman lost interest in training Amber and Ah Dai. In addition, she was eager to finish the competition and go back to pack her things to prepare for going home the next day.

So at the start of the match, she summoned the Honey Badger, and Amber and Ah-Dai were also summoned to assist in the battle. Under the Honey Badger's leadership, Amber and Ah-Dai worked together seamlessly and knocked the female warrior off the stage in less than ten minutes.

After winning two consecutive matches, Lin Manman only needs to wait for the remaining three players to finish their matches, and then fight the last male beast tamer in the final round to determine the final ranking.

Unexpectedly, the only male beast tamer who didn't face Lin Manman was surprisingly found to have illegally used stimulant drugs on his spirit pet and was disqualified from the competition.

Lin Manman, who was waiting to play the final match, suddenly won the championship.

Although the championship was basically considered to be hers, the way she won it was somewhat unexpected.

When Lin Manman stood on the award stage again, she finally revealed the purpose of her participation in the competition.

Hearing her boastfully on the stage that she only came to participate in the competition in order to get an invitation to a top-ranked professional high school.

The high school admissions officers who have been bombarding Lin's mother with calls these past two days are so angry they're practically grinding their teeth in frustration.

Knowing the details, Xu Yuemei, Wu Jingyu, and Fang Yaqi were ranting and raving about it from the audience.

It turns out that Lin Manman has a habit of blocking calls from strangers. During her time here for the competition, she never expected that all the calls from the admissions officers would be blocked.

As a result, the only way they could find Lin's mother's phone number was to call her. However, Lin's mother did not want to affect her competition, so she made an agreement with each school to let her make her own choice after the competition.

"Lin Manman, we are the 8th ranked high school in the entire Jinling District. If you enroll in our school, you will be eligible for the National Special Scholarship every year!"

"We're ranked fifth! Come to our school! We not only promise top-tier scholarships, but we can also help you apply for separate learning resource grants!!"

"Don't push! Don't push! What are you doing? Why are civilized people resorting to violence?"

Before the reporter interviewing Lin Manman could even leave, admissions officers from various companies frantically crowded around her.

No one present wanted to miss out on such a promising talent.

Judging from her current talent, she should be able to easily reach Level 4 in three years of high school. If she can participate in the intermediate professional competition as a high school student, it will definitely cause a sensation.

At that time, this honor will belong to the school she has chosen now!

In their struggle to win over Lin Manman, the admissions officers almost came to blows on the spot.

Seeing how excited they were, Lin Manman was stunned. Although she knew she was talented, did they have to be so exaggerated?

Just then, Wu Yunsheng, who had met him during the team competition, suddenly appeared on the stage, accompanied by an elderly man in his seventies, and came to stand behind the crowd.

"Stop arguing! Let me say this first: Jinling University Affiliated Vocational High School cordially invites you, Lin Manman."

"I've heard about your brother's situation. If you can join our high school, Jinling University will permanently retain your brother's student status. As long as he wakes up, he can come back to school at any time," the old man's gentle and slow voice came.

The old man seemed to be of great importance; after he spoke, the admissions officers from the other schools around him all fell silent and stood aside to wait.

Lin Manman blinked. Her brother had his student status retained due to his injury, but it was only valid for three years.

If she hadn't met Meng Wenbin and hadn't had a contract with Xiao Qi, she would have agreed without even thinking.

But not to mention that her brother probably won't need this promise, it's also uncertain whether she and her brother will stay in Jinling for much longer afterward.

Her gaze swept over Fang Yaqi, who was looking over with excitement in the audience, and she suddenly had an idea.

"Besides this, I have one more request."

"Of course, you can make any requests you have." The old man smiled kindly and nodded at her.

"I want an extra spot. I'm afraid of being lonely, and I'd like to go to the same school as my best friend," Lin Manman chuckled.

She plans to open a branch of a spirit beast shop in the capital, but that will require some time to arrange, so Fang Yaqi and her daughter will definitely have to stay in Jinling for a while longer.

We should take this opportunity to find her a better school.

Upon hearing her request, Fang Yaqi understood her intention and jumped up.

The old man paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "I wonder how your friend's grades are?"

"The results are still pretty good. I estimate my score for the big exam to be around 670." This is almost the same as the admission score for the Affiliated Vocational High School of Jinling University in previous years, Lin Manman thought to herself.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her words. "If the exam results are released in a couple of days and her score is no lower than 660, I can grant your request."

Lin Manman smiled and nodded in agreement.
