Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses? - Chapter 10

Special rewards?

【Simulated Lair Special Reward 1: Spiritual Power Infusion!】

【Simulated Lair Special Reward 2: One Selectable Talent Serum! Please make your decision within one day.】

Su Yu didn’t understand what “spiritual power infusion” was.

But he definitely knew about the talent serum.

For those who didn’t awaken a talent during their Awakening Ceremony, they could still achieve it through the power of money. Talent serums, valued at over a billion, could grant an acquired talent.

Although acquired talents weren’t as powerful as innate ones, they could still open the door for ordinary people to become Beastmasters.

This reward was nothing short of priceless.

As for spiritual power…

Before Su Yu could process it, a pure, ethereal energy began flowing into his mind.

What was once an empty, chaotic space in his consciousness was illuminated. A spiritual world had been carved open, with thin streams of spiritual energy converging into a flowing stream.

A faint electric current buzzed in his mind.

【Spiritual Power: Spirit Stream Realm】

【Congratulations, Host, on upgrading your spiritual power realm. Your spiritual power is now sufficient to accommodate a second pet beast!】

The system’s notification echoed in his mind.

Spiritual power breakthrough?

Having not yet received formal Beastmaster training, Su Yu didn’t fully understand the significance of spiritual power.

But he could sense an extraordinary change: a faint awareness of his surroundings. It went beyond his five senses, allowing him to feel the wind, the earth, the blood, even the falling leaves. Though the range was limited, it was clear that Su Yu was no longer an ordinary person.

Another light screen descended.

When Su Yu’s vision cleared, he and Alia found themselves back on Rose Plaza.

—

At the plaza,

A group of senior students rushed over, flipping him friendly middle fingers. “Damn it, you bastard! Fight me one-on-one!”

“Alia, how am I supposed to live without you?! Damn you, junior! Give Alia back to us!”

Su Yu smirked wryly.

I knew it.

With Alia’s beauty and fame at Magic City Beastmaster University, it was no surprise she had countless admirers.

Su Yu had mentally prepared himself to deal with all the seething jealousy.

But this… this was way too much!

As far as he could see, the plaza was filled with a sea of people.

Alia, visibly displeased, unfurled her bat-like black wings and pulled Su Yu protectively into her embrace. “Scram, you mongrels! What do you think you’re trying to do to my master?”

“Boom!”

It sounded like the collective shattering of hearts.

“Ah, Big Sister, how can such cold words come from your warm, 37°C lips?”

“Master?! No, no, no! Why?! I can’t accept this!”

Shangguan Ling pressed a hand to her forehead, exasperated.

Is this what pre-reserve soldiers guarding humanity’s borders look like? She hurriedly stepped forward to quell the chaos.

Riding her Azure Phoenix spirit beast, she shouted sternly, “Enough! The freshman entrance test is over! Why aren’t you all returning to your training?”

“The Nine-School Alliance Exchange Tournament is just around the corner. Do you plan to compete like this? Have you completed your lair mission quotas and kill targets? Or are you looking to lose your Beastmaster certifications?”

Her scolding silenced the crowd immediately.

Magic City Beastmaster University provided its students with abundant resources and the best Beastmaster training. But the competition was equally harsh.

Beastmasters enjoyed unparalleled social status, but they also faced high elimination rates and shocking mortality rates.

After her reprimand, the crowd dispersed reluctantly, though their eyes still lingered with envy and resentment.

Su Yu sighed. “Professor, is this how things usually are at Magic City Beastmaster University?”

Shangguan Ling hesitated briefly. “You turned everyone’s goddess into your pet beast. How do you expect them to not want to fight you? And mind you, Alia’s admirers include some really strong individuals! Most of them are currently out on missions in the lairs, but when they return, your school life might get… lively.”

Su Yu shrugged, unconcerned.

Shangguan Ling sighed. “Well, as long as you’re prepared.”

“Still, congratulations on passing the entrance test, especially with the highest difficulty S-level mission!”

“According to regulations, students who pass an S-level mission qualify as S-rank students. Follow me to the office; I’ll give you a detailed explanation of your privileges and responsibilities.”

Initially, Su Yu hadn’t wanted to reveal his talent.

But with Alia being a walking spotlight and the Wang family targeting him, things had escalated beyond his control.

Still, the results were favorable—he had turned this crisis into an opportunity.

—

In Shangguan Ling’s office, she smiled and gestured for him to sit.

“Let me introduce you to Magic City Beastmaster University. The school has five departments: the Alien Beast Department, the Combat Department, the Magic Plant Department, the Special Abilities Department, and the Support Department. Students are assigned based on their talents and contracted pet beasts.”

“With your qualifications, you’re well-suited for the Combat, Alien Beast, and Special Abilities Departments. However, the Special Abilities Department focuses more on elemental and undead talents, and the Combat Department’s dean is Wang Yue, Wang Hongxi’s uncle. So…”

Su Yu nodded. “I’m willing to join Professor Shangguan’s Alien Beast Department.”

Shangguan Ling’s face lit up with a smile.

“Excellent. Your talent report currently says ‘None.’ I understand you may want to keep your abilities private, but can you at least tell me the rank of your talent?”

After brief consideration, Su Yu chose to reveal just enough to secure better resources.

“S-rank. My blood is unique—it has the ability to attract enemies and control the souls of certain pet beasts.”

Shangguan Ling nodded slightly. It was consistent with her earlier deductions.

“As expected. Here, this is your customized student ID.”

“From today onward, you are an S-rank student at Magic City Beastmaster University. The school operates on a credit system, where one credit is equivalent to Beastmaster resources worth a million yuan outside the university.”

“As an S-rank student, you’ll receive 100 credits per month. For context, there are fewer than 200 S-rank students in the entire Great Xia Kingdom. You’ll also have priority access to rare pet beasts, exclusive talent serums, and the authority to form your own Beastmaster squad.”

“As you know, Beastmaster students are essentially reserve soldiers of Great Xia. The war with the demonic lairs could summon us at any moment. By forming a squad, you’ll be able to maximize your capabilities.”

“Of course, your training progress will be assessed monthly. Failure to meet the standards will result in your rank being revoked—it’s a substantial investment, after all.”

“Finally, you’ll be obligated to participate in the Nine-School Alliance Exchange Tournament in two weeks. This competition determines the allocation of resources among Beastmaster universities. There are two tournaments annually, followed by missions to suppress the demonic lairs. The most challenging missions are often assigned to S-rank students like you.”

“Do you accept these terms?”

Su Yu nodded.

There was no reason to refuse.

A billion yuan in resources every month!

Magic City Beastmaster University was practically raining money!

It made sense, though. Beastmasters were now the true national defense force of Great Xia. Any breach by the monsters from the demonic lairs could result in catastrophic losses.

Just recently, the volcanic demonic lair in the Sakura Nation had erupted, leading to destruction across multiple cities and incalculable casualties. Every nation was ramping up their investment in Beastmaster universities.

Shangguan Ling smiled. “Good. Prepare for your enrollment.”

“S-rank students are also assigned special accommodations—”

Before she could finish, Alia, sitting on Su Yu’s lap in her smaller, blood-depleted form, interjected, “Why can’t we just stay in my old place?”

Shangguan Ling froze. “Alia, your residence is in the girl dormitory area!”

Alia retorted, “Eh? But Old Ning promised me!”

Shangguan Ling gave up trying to argue.

Who knew what kind of relationship Alia had with the principal?

“Fine. Since it’s a standalone villa, you can continue living there.”

“But Su Yu, keep this in mind—while the school encourages students to freely pursue relationships, keep the noise down at night!”

Su Yu: ?

Why single me out?

I’m the passive one here!
