"Ah?"
Yun Tao was still in a daze.
Wasn't he adamant about not taking the examination just a moment ago? Why did he suddenly change his attitude?
The moment he said that it was free to ride on an aerial savage beast, he immediately changed his attitude...
Yun Tao felt as though his saliva was stuck in his throat, and he nearly choked to death.
In his eyes, this Elder Zhang Xuan was a young Zongshi. His cultivation was unfathomable, and his strength was unreachable. Such a person should view money as dirt. For his eyes to light up upon hearing that it was free... Cough cough, he was being too practical!
"Alright then..."
It took him great effort to swallow his saliva. Just as he was about to speak, Mo Yu xiaojie looked at him with her proud neck arched up, and a cold sneer appeared in her eyes.
"Take the examination? Hmph, do you think that beast tamer is a game that anyone can take? You just happened to tame two savage beasts, and you think that beast tamer is easy! To tell you the truth, just memorizing the names, physical characteristics, temperament, habits, and other characteristics of the tens of thousands of savage beasts on the continent will take at least a few years! "
It was just a moment ago that she challenged this fellow, but he actually rejected her. This made Mo Yu furious. Seeing how the other party was boasting shamelessly, she immediately harrumphed coldly in response.
Take the examination...
Beast tamer was one of the more advanced occupations in the Upper Nine Paths. The difficulty of it wasn't any lower than that of an apothecary. Do you think that you can take the examination just because you happened to tame one or two savage beasts?
It was just like concocting a medicine and curing an illness. Do you think that you can take the physician examination just because of that?
Dream on!
Every single occupation had its own system of knowledge, and it wasn't something that could be learned in a day or two.
This was especially so for beast taming. It was possible to tame a savage beast with brute force, but what about a savage beast with a higher cultivation?
If you dared to be rude, the other party would probably kill you first.
You didn't know the habits of the other party, didn't know how to swim, and yet you dared to take the beast tamer examination. If this wasn't arrogance, what else could it be?
"Mo Yu xiaojie, there's no need to get angry at such an arrogant and ignorant person! He was fortunate enough to learn the name of the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow and tame the Gold Alloyed Panther, and he thought that he was the only one in the world. In truth, he doesn't know anything about beast taming. If he were to take the examination, he would surely be exposed! "
Zhu Jinhuang took a step forward.
Beast taming was a field of study. Even if one was talented, one would only be able to learn the basics within a few years. This fellow was not a beast taming apprentice, and from the looks of it, he had never come into contact with beast taming before. Yet, he wanted to take the test just because he knew a few tricks?
"He's just an arrogant fellow. Beast tamers don't just tame savage beasts, they also have to understand them from the inside out. To defeat a savage beast with brute force and force it into submission, you call yourself a beast tamer? You must be joking! If that's the case, wouldn't everyone be a Beast Tamer? "
Zhou Xuan sneered as well.
The two of them hated Yun Tao, so naturally, they didn't want the people around him to pass the test. Besides, this guy had just humiliated Miss Mo Yu, so it was a good opportunity for him to speak up for her and gain the favor of the beauty.
"I just happened to tame two savage beasts, and I don't know anything at all. Since that's the case... Mo Yu xiaojie, why do you want to compete with me? Why do you want to learn from me how to win the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow's favor?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered with Zhu Jinhuang and Zhou Xuan, the two fellows who were following him. He raised his head to look at the beautiful figure before him and said calmly.
"You …"
Mo Yu's body froze, and her face flushed in anger.
She was of noble status, and it was common for others to compliment her. No one dared to speak to her in such a manner. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
"Lad, do you know who you are talking to? You reckless fellow … "
"Hurry up and apologize. It is an honor for you to be reprimanded by Mo Yu xiaojie personally. How dare you rebut her, how dare you..."
Seeing that the fellow dared to speak of their goddess, Zhu Jinhuang and Zhou Xuan were displeased. They bellowed simultaneously. However, before they could finish their words, Mo Yu xiaojie's face darkened.
"Shut up! No one will take you for a mute if you don't speak! "
"Xiaojie …" The two of them were taken aback.
Why did they get scolded for speaking up for her?
However, at this moment, no matter how foolish they were, they knew that their bootlicking had gone too far.
"It's all that fellow's fault. Let's see how you embarrass yourself later on!"
The more they thought about it, the more furious they felt. However, they didn't dare to vent their anger on their goddess. Thus, they could only direct their anger at Zhang Xuan. The more they looked at him, the more they found him an eyesore.
Ignoring the three fellows, Zhang Xuan followed behind Yun Tao to Hall Master Feng.
"Hall Master Feng, Elder Zhang Xuan has agreed to take the beast tamer examination. When do you think... we should start?" Yun Tao asked excitedly.
He was very confident in Elder Zhang Xuan's abilities.
He had tamed a savage beast, and the other party just had to beat it up. Furthermore, he was able to raise the other party's cultivation easily. Even Hall Master Feng was incapable of such a feat!
How could a person with such capability fail the beast tamer examination?
"We can start now. I heard that you haven't taken the examination yet, and you aren't even an apprentice beast tamer?" Hall Master Feng looked at him.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
"Since you are able to tame a Pixue realm savage beast and recognize the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow, it means that the apprentice beast tamer examination is nothing to you. You can be exempted from it."
Hall Master Feng said.
Apprentice was only the foundation of the occupation. To be able to recognize the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow, which they couldn't even recognize, meant that this Zhang Xuan wasn't a stranger to beast taming. It would be a waste of time to take the examination for an apprentice beast tamer.
Of course, if he were to know that Zhang Xuan didn't know anything about beast taming and had only heard of it not too long ago, he probably wouldn't think so.
"However, without taking the apprentice beast tamer examination, it will be difficult to test your understanding of beast taming. Since that's the case, I will exempt you from the first round of the beast taming examination and add the first round of the apprentice beast tamer examination."
The apprentice beast tamer examination consisted of a theoretical test and a savage beast identification test.
The official beast tamer examination consisted of obtaining the savage beast's acknowledgement and taming the savage beast.
Since this Zhang Xuan was able to recognize a rare ancient beast like the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow, it meant that he was extremely knowledgeable. It would be a waste of time to take the savage beast identification test. If he could tame a true savage beast and obtain its acknowledgement, it would be meaningless.
Thus, after pondering for a moment, Hall Master Feng changed the examination slightly. There were two tests, but they were different from the other apprentice beast tamer examinations.
"They are: First, the theoretical test, which is to answer the test paper. Second, taming a savage beast stronger than you! As long as you can pass these two tests, you will be a 1-star beast tamer. "
"Ah, alright!"
Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
He had heard from Yun Tao about the beast tamer examination, and it seemed that these were the steps. The other party didn't intentionally make things difficult for him.
Seeing the other party agree to it, Hall Master Feng smiled. "Alright, I will prepare a test paper for you to answer. If there are no problems with your answers, you will pass!"
"Wait a moment. Do you have any books on beast taming here? Can I borrow them to take a look? "
Zhang Xuan.
"Read?"
Hall Master Feng, Beast Tamer Lu, and the others stared at one another in bewilderment.
What was the point of reading now?
"The library over there is filled with books on beast taming. Usually, only apprentice beast tamers are allowed to browse through them. If you wish to browse through them, I can give you my approval. However, if you wish to browse through them now..."
Even though Hall Master Feng was bewildered, he still spoke up. Even though he didn't finish his words, everyone understood the underlying meaning behind his words.
There were at least several hundred thousand books on beast taming. Even if you want to study at the last minute, you should find something more important to do. If you wish to browse through them now... Isn't it too late to find a wife only after you want to carry a child?
"Oh, I have a habit of reading books to adjust my state of mind whenever I encounter a major event. I might have to trouble you, Hall Master!"
Zhang Xuan said casually.
He had used this excuse at Master Lu Chen's residence previously, and it felt good. Thus, he used it once more.
"Alright, the library is over there. You can head there directly!"
Hall Master Feng didn't doubt Zhang Xuan and pointed.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Xuan nodded his head and walked over with widened strides.
It was impossible for him to take the beast tamer examination without reading through books. However, as long as he had the books with him, the rest would be easy.
"This fellow..."
Upon seeing that Miss Zhang had agreed to take the beast tamer examination, Shen Bi Ru's eyebrows twitched, and a mouthful of blood welled up in her mouth.
Aren't you a little too gutsy!
It wasn't that she didn't trust the other party, but... this fellow had followed her all the way here, and he was completely unfamiliar with the art of beast taming. Just a moment ago, he even asked her what the 'Beast Forest' was...
You, a fellow who doesn't even know what the Beast Forest is, actually agreed to take the beast tamer examination without fear?
More importantly...
So what if he agreed to it? The other party is about to take his examination paper, yet you want to browse through books?
What are you up to?
"Un? That's not right... The last time I went to the academy's Compendium Pavilion, he flipped through the books by himself. Could it be that... "
Just as she was trying to figure out what the other party was up to, a thought flashed through her mind. She recalled the scene where the both of them met in the Compendium Pavilion.
This Miss Zhang had been flipping through the books by her side. Back then, she thought that the other party was intentionally doing so to attract her attention. Only later did she realize that she was thinking too much into it. The other party wasn't flipping through the books randomly. Rather, he had already memorized the contents of the books.
Memorizing the contents of the books just by flipping through them randomly...
Could it be that this Miss Zhang really didn't know anything about beast taming, and the reason why she was reading books was to... learn?
"This... How is this possible? There aren't many books in the Teacher Compendium Pavilion in the first place. Besides, after he became a teacher, he often visited the Compendium Pavilion, so he must have spent more than a day flipping through the books. Putting aside a master teacher apprentice, even a 3-star master teacher with photographic memory would be incapable of learning everything within a short period of time. "
Shen Bi Ru was astonished.
Legend has it that those who possess the State of Insight, Heart of Tranquil Water, possess photographic memory. As long as one's Soul Depth reaches 10, they would possess photographic memory. As long as they read the contents of a book, they would be able to memorize it firmly in their mind, never to forget it.
This was precisely the reason why formidable master teachers were able to learn so many occupations and memorize so much knowledge in the world.
But... Even if Zhang laoshi's Soul Depth was above 10, it was impossible for him to finish flipping through hundreds of thousands of books page by page without several months of effort!
"Could it be... Could it be?"
Suddenly recalling something, Shen Bi Ru's body trembled.
