Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses? - Chapter 46

BEEP—

“What the hell! The campus belle actually—”

“No way, this is absolutely impossible!”

“Am I having a nightmare right now?”

Countless male spectators gawked at the screen, clutching their heads in disbelief. They looked like they were on the verge of rushing into the simulation field to stop whatever was happening.

At Imperial Capital University, Teaching Director Yu Cheng was at a loss for words.

Their most outstanding student, the pride of this generation, had become the pet beast of Magic City University’s Su Yu?

Had the world gone insane?

Zhuang Qu was initially shocked, but upon seeing Yu Cheng’s expression, a sense of satisfaction unexpectedly welled up in his heart.

Heh, serves Imperial Capital University right for always boasting about being the top academy in Great Xia. Look at you now—completely overturned!

Star-Badged Mentor Lin Li, who was serving as referee, was utterly dumbfounded. He had never imagined such an unprecedented event would occur within the demonic lair simulation field!

In a panic, Lin Li opened the channel to the simulation field and rushed inside.

Meanwhile,

The students from Magic City University wore conflicted expressions.

On one hand, stepping on Imperial Capital University delighted them, but on the other…

“Damn it! Why is it Su Yu getting all the perks again?!”

“Crap, you’re right! Why are my pet beasts all ugly as hell, and he gets to contract another goddess?!”

“I’m not okay with this, I protest! Why is everyone else taming beasts, but you’re out here taming goddesses?!”

“It’s over. Another goddess has fallen.”

Ever since the incident with Alia, the male students of Magic City University had held a grudge against Su Yu. Seeing him now contract yet another national-level goddess—a figure as revered as Kong Huanyuan—made them seethe with envy.

Of course, the most furious among them was none other than Wang Yue, the Dean of the Combat Department. Watching the screen with a face as dark as coal, his expression grew increasingly grim.

For Su Yu, this victory was a meteoric rise. He was bound to enter the sights of Great Xia’s upper echelons, and the Sakura Nation faction would undoubtedly turn their ire toward the Wang family for failing to suppress him.

Beside Wang Yue, Wang Hongxi and Jiang Ying, who had come hoping to ridicule Su Yu, now looked as pale as ghosts.

Wang Hongxi’s contorted face was a disfigured mask of fury. Watching Su Yu contract yet another goddess while he himself could barely endure his situation made him grit his teeth so hard they nearly bled.

Jiang Ying’s emotions were even more complex—envy, resentment, and rage all intertwined. Wang Hongxi’s treatment of her had become increasingly cruel and twisted, and yet he was no longer even a man.

Su Yu, it’s all your fault!

—

In the principal’s office of Imperial Capital University,

Jiang Huairen’s grip loosened, and the wine glass in his hand slipped to the floor.

Crash.

He glared furiously at Ning Hanwen. “You old bastard! You’ve gone too far!”

Finally, he understood!

Su Yu’s talent granted him the ability to forcibly contract others as pet beasts!

One careless slip had turned the God-Tier Witch he had painstakingly cultivated into the pet beast of a Magic City University student!

No wonder this old coot had traveled all this way to watch.

Ning Hanwen stifled a laugh. “Old Jiang, don’t lose your temper. Come on, have another drink.”

Jiang Huairen, disregarding his status and pride as a senior powerhouse, snapped, “Drink your damned drink!”

—

Inside the simulation field,

Yang Shijia and the others could no longer contain their anger. They summoned their pet beasts!

Yang Shijia, who had contracted a Twin-Headed Griffin, leaped into the air, charging toward Su Yu.

They were going to reclaim their goddess!

Su Yu sneered, How foolish.

This was a perfect opportunity to test Kong Huanyuan’s abilities.

While there was no emotional connection between him and Kong Huanyuan, the Beastmaster contract allowed him to issue commands to her regardless of her feelings.

“Kong Huanyuan, take him down.”

Though reluctant, Kong Huanyuan was bound by the contract to obey Su Yu’s command above all else.

She raised her hand. Phantom Void Mirage!

A spiral of space twisted violently. With a loud bang, one of the Twin-Headed Griffin’s heads was wrenched off by the spatial distortion!

Yang Shijia was horrified. He hadn’t expected the one to strike him down would be none other than the goddess they were trying to reclaim!

Su Yu spread his arms wide. “There’s still some time left before the trial ends.”

“Don’t waste it. Why don’t you all come at me together?”

With Alia and Kong Huanyuan—two God-Tier pet beasts—by his side, what did he have to fear?

—

The crowd was stunned. Yang Shijia, ranked 22nd on the Potential List, had been instantly defeated by Kong Huanyuan. With Su Yu and Alia in the mix, who could possibly stand against them?

A slaughter seemed inevitable.

—

Just as the tension reached its peak—

Lin Li arrived on horseback.

As a Star-Badged Mentor in the Reincarnation Realm, Lin Li cast a pained glance at Kong Huanyuan before immediately announcing:

“Stop! I declare the first trial officially over!”

“The top eight will advance to the elimination stage. Su Yu, come with me.”

The situation was critical.

Shortly after Su Yu announced his contract with Kong Huanyuan, Imperial Capital University’s principal Jiang Huairen, Great Xia’s upper echelons, and the Nine Divisions issued a joint order: the tournament was to be halted immediately.

This was a major incident.

Public outcry was already boiling over. Continuing the tournament was no longer an option.

For the first time in his career, Lin Li faced such a monumental crisis.

Regardless, his immediate priority was to contain the situation, starting with Su Yu.

Su Yu agreed without resistance, withdrawing from the field.

Liu Xuan and the others, still shaken, refrained from approaching Su Yu.

—

Meanwhile, Magic City University appeared to have struck gold.

With Kong Huanyuan now Su Yu’s pet beast and Shi Shaolong defeated, Jianghe University was entirely eliminated. Half of the top 11 contenders on the Potential List had been taken down by Su Yu, and half of Imperial Capital University’s representatives were also out.

Remarkably, out of the top eight students on the scoreboard, five were from Magic City University.

—

Chen Fei whispered excitedly, “Hey, hey, we made it!”

“And this time, the competition looks weak. We’ve got this in the bag!”

Realizing this, the Magic City group began jeering at Imperial Capital:

“Keep talking! Why don’t you pop open more champagne?”

“Yeah, isn’t this your thing—celebrating too early? Look at you now!”

“So much for your almighty campus belle. Is she even still part of your school?”

“What are you thinking? Pet beasts are loyal to their master. She’s ours now!”

Though envious of Su Yu, the Magic City students had no qualms about using this to taunt their rivals.

On the Imperial Capital side, the spectators wore expressions darker than coal. They felt as though they’d swallowed a pile of dirt—bitter and nauseating.

—

Amidst the uproar outside, the internet exploded. In mere minutes, the topic skyrocketed to the top of trending searches, with over a billion hits in no time.

—

Inside the simulation field,

Su Yu, Alia, and Kong Huanyuan followed Lin Li, along with Yan Ling’er.

Lin Li glared at Su Yu furiously. “You… you bastard!”

“Do you have any idea what you’ve done? She’s one of ours—from Imperial Capital!”

“Damn it, if this were the demonic lairs, I’d rip your damn head off right now!”

Su Yu struggled to suppress his laughter.

Go ahead, scold me.

The more you curse me, the better I’ll feel.

After all, I’ve just dealt Imperial Capital the blow of a lifetime.

No punishment or reprimand could dampen Su Yu’s spirits.

If anything, the harsher the scolding, the more satisfied he felt.

“Kong Huanyuan, don’t worry. The school will stand up for you!” Lin Li promised.

Kong Huanyuan’s face turned pale.

Stand up for me?

Lin Li didn’t realize that unlike ordinary pet beasts, a God-Tier contract was irrevocable once signed.
