Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses? - Chapter 7

What was supposed to be an ordinary entrance test—a simple opportunity for everyone to observe the skills of this year’s freshmen—had turned into utter chaos.

On Rose Plaza, the hearts of every male student shattered into pieces. Their jealousy and frustration were written across their faces.

Even the female students were utterly shocked, their surprise beyond words.

No one could deny that Alia Tepes’ unparalleled talent far outshone that of ordinary people, and her beauty had captivated every male student on campus.

But now, no one could explain why Magic City Beastmaster University’s cherished treasure had somehow become Su Yu’s pet beast!

No, wait.

Everyone else was taming beasts… why is he taming the campus belle?!

The crowd couldn’t hold it together anymore.

Rose Plaza erupted into chaos as a frenzy of voices filled the air. Shangguan Ling, the dean of the Alien Beast Department, could no longer maintain order.

Finally, a gust of strong wind swept through the plaza, momentarily blurring everyone’s vision.

A transparent floating bridge formed mid-air with a gentle breeze, and a middle-aged man arrived, wings of wind unfurling behind him.

It was Ning Hanwen, the principal of Magic City Beastmaster University, master of the unique Origin of Wind spirit beast. He descended upon Rose Plaza with imposing authority.

Shangguan Ling called out, “Principal, Alia—”

With a simple wave of his right hand, Ning Hanwen gestured for silence. “Quiet, everyone.”

The students, seeing that the principal himself had arrived, restrained their chatter and turned their expectant gazes toward Ning Hanwen, awaiting an explanation.

Ning Hanwen slowly began to speak. “Alia’s true form is a vampire. I saw her immense potential and accepted her as a special recruit. Recently, while on a mission within a demonic lair, she went missing. It seems that due to certain unforeseen circumstances, she has now become this freshman’s pet beast.”

A vampire, sequence no. 99—a powerful entity from the high-tier sequences.

However, Ning Hanwen intentionally omitted that she was the Vampire Queen and a progenitor of the blood race.

The students were taken aback but quickly understood.

“What? Alia is a vampire?”

“No wonder! That explains why her strength had regressed so much. Vampires do lose power if they lose too much blood!”

“Damn it! Why don’t I have this kind of luck? I’d gladly become Big Sister Alia’s walking blood bag!”

“Seriously, why does something this good always happen to this freshman? I won’t accept this! Come out and duel me if you have the guts!”

Su Yu hadn’t even officially enrolled, but he had already become the “male public enemy” of the entire university!

Shangguan Ling secretly used telepathy to communicate with Ning Hanwen. “Principal, Dean Wang might have—”

Before she could finish, Ning Hanwen interrupted her. “Last night, after noticing their little tricks, I restored the settings of the simulated lair. So…”

Shangguan Ling’s eyes widened in shock.

That meant the simulated lair had determined Su Yu qualified to undertake the S-level task!

Even without any tampering, it had still assigned him an S-level mission!

But his talent report clearly stated… nothing.

Shangguan Ling fixated her gaze on Su Yu’s every movement inside the lair. Just what kind of secret was this freshman hiding?

The fact that the principal had personally arrived—surely it was because of Su Yu.

Inside the simulated lair,

Su Yu and Alia followed the map toward Redstone City while reviewing the intel on their pursuers.

“Bloodthirsty Ants, roughly the size of a human. They are ruthless creatures driven by an insatiable thirst for blood. They will not stop their hunt until they’ve drained their prey dry.”

“Got it.”

A knowing smile formed on Su Yu’s lips.

Alia noticed his confident expression and quietly contemplated.

Let’s see how you handle this kind of dire situation.

If you truly prove yourself worthy, then perhaps the sorrowful wish of my bloodline…

Alia leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Su Yu’s cheek.

“Hmm?”

“It’s nothing—a little reward before the battle. I can sense they’re nearby.”

It was a small gesture, but it was enough to enrage the male students watching outside the simulation!

“Ahhh! That bastard! I’ve chased her for an entire year, and I couldn’t even gain a shred of her respect. And now he dares?!”

“Wang Hongxi, take down Su Yu!”

“I’m about to lose it! I can’t watch this anymore!”

Shangguan Ling sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. This batch of students… truly hopeless.

Even she was surprised by Alia’s fiery and passionate side.

Seeing the two of them holding hands so intimately, it was no wonder the male students were losing their minds.

—

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the crowd,

Wang Hongxi and his group intercepted Su Yu on the only path back to Redstone City through Bluestone Gorge.

Withered leaves and broken branches littered the stone-paved trail as Wang Hongxi stood on the slope, his expression cold and sinister.

Dozens of students lined up behind him, ready to summon their pet beasts at any moment.

Seeing Su Yu walking forward without a trace of fear, Wang Hongxi felt a sharp pang below and growled viciously, “Su Yu, looks like your luck has run out!”

Su Yu narrowed his eyes. “Oh? And why is that?”

Wang Hongxi let out a bitter laugh, nearly shaking with rage. “Why? Do you seriously not understand the situation you’re in?!”

“You, alone, with one pet beast, think you can take on all one hundred of us? How delusional!”

“If I don’t break your spine and make you kneel like a wild dog begging for mercy, I won’t be able to quench the hatred in my heart!”

Su Yu turned his gaze toward the others. “Are you all helping him?”

A lackey behind Wang Hongxi, Song Qi, sneered. “Su Yu, Classmate Wang was merely advising you not to harass his girlfriend, yet you resorted to violence. You’ve gone too far! What’s more, Classmate Wang even offered to buy your pet beast, but you maliciously injured him instead! You forced Classmate Wang to be hospitalized! Someone like you doesn’t deserve to enter Magic City Beastmaster University!”

Another lackey, Liang Chen, chimed in, “Exactly! Don’t think you can escape accountability. You have two choices: either forfeit and get lost, or deal with the consequences right here!”

Su Yu shook his head lightly.

How typical for the guilty to play the victim.

Who started the fight? They knew perfectly well.

But Su Yu wasn’t the type to waste time defending himself.

He swept his gaze over the rest of the group. “And the rest of you?”

A few girls hesitated. “Our mission is to stop you. I don’t want to give up my chance to enroll.”

“Honestly, I don’t agree with this, but the rewards they offered were just too tempting…”

Self-interest always came first. Justice was rarely anyone’s priority.

Su Yu finally turned his gaze toward Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying clenched her fists. “Su Yu, no matter what happened before, it was wrong of you to strike first! Apologize to Hongxi now!”

Wang Hongxi grew impatient. “Apologize? Stop wasting time—attack!”

In the end, about seventy students summoned their pet beasts, while the remaining thirty chose to stand by as spectators, ready to reap the benefits without offending anyone.

In an instant, the slope was filled with an array of strange and wondrous pet beasts: a giant sunflower over seven meters tall, a lion wreathed in flames, and skeletal creatures coated in mud…

Wang Hongxi seethed as he saw Su Yu’s calm demeanor.

“Su Yu, at the brink of death, and you still have the audacity to act tough?”

At the same time, a twisted desire crept into his heart.

“Here’s an offer: hand over your pet beast as compensation, and I’ll spare your life. What do you say?”

Su Yu’s response was icy cold. “Who’s really at the brink of death here? You fools think you can rely on numbers to take me down? And you, Wang Hongxi—you’re no longer even a man, yet your mind is still so filthy. I’d say you won’t give up until you’re in your grave. Alia, attack.”

The crowd froze.

Was Su Yu really planning to take on all of them by himself?

But the way he carried himself…

The others couldn’t help but feel as though they were being underestimated.

“Arrogant! Everyone, attack!”

“Be careful—his pet beast is likely a high-tier vampire. Don’t get too close, or it might control your blood!”

“Plant team and undead team, up front! Other beasts, provide support!”

As planned, a dozen plant-based pet beasts led the charge.

A golden sunflower emitted radiant sunlight, bathing Alia in its scorching rays.

Using the blazing sun to suppress the cold, dark nature of vampires!

But…

She was a progenitor of the blood race. A Vampire Queen. The king of vampires feared no sunlight!

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Alia stood bathed in sunlight, summoning an enormous harp of blood and bone behind her.

The harp resonated with the infernal melody of the Death Apostle’s Hymn, its haunting tune instantly breaking through the mental defenses of the pet beasts.

Activating Death Apostle’s Hymn!
