Beast Taming: The Beginning of Hatching an Ancient Dragon

Chapter 26: You Need to Supplement Calcium

He really broke through!

Everyone was amazed once again. Wen Miaohua’s face showed a rare smile of surprise, her ethereal eyes filled with confusion.

In her beast space, Xiao Bai said, “His talent can induce an epiphany, which is why this kid can accumulate curse power so quickly in a short time, thus breaking through his realm.”

“Tsk, although this kid is like a black-hearted maggot, it must be said that his talent is indeed top-notch.”

“He’s destined to walk the path of a hunter.”

Only then did Wen Miaohua understand why the previously mentioned two-month breakthrough time had inexplicably turned into two hours.

It was all due to his talent.

Wait, Wen Miaohua realized, what kind of talent could achieve the effect of an epiphany!

The girl knew this had touched Li Chang’an’s bottom line, so she buried this thought deep in her heart.

Xiao Bai: “What are you worried about? It’s not like no one can see it. This kid dared to break through in front of everyone, which means he doesn’t care about exposing this talent.”

“The things he truly cares about, he wouldn’t reveal. This kid is shrewd!”

Wen Miaohua suddenly felt a subtle sensation, how come Xiao Bai understands Li Chang’an better than she does, even though she knew him first!

When Li Chang’an broke through, Mao Mao also brought good news.

Taking advantage of the life energy vortex brought by Li Chang’an’s breakthrough, Mao Mao received feedback and officially advanced to the Transcendent level, gaining the legal qualification to fight in Donghuang Country.

Mao Mao: “Oh~! Chang’an, I broke through! Transcendent 1 Star, and I gained an additional skill.”

Li Chang’an was overjoyed. Normally, Mao Mao, who had just recently broken through the Awakening period, would most likely not gain another skill.

Unexpectedly, there was an additional surprise this time!

Following Mao Mao’s breakthrough, a large amount of life energy also fed back to Li Chang’an, enhancing his curse power and his most concerned physical strength.

Under the mutual promotion of the master and pet, they took a solid step forward in the realm of Level 2 Beast Master and Transcendent 1 Star.

Judging from Li Chang’an’s current cultivation speed, this synergistic breakthrough saved him half a year of cultivation time.

He only needs to work hard for another year and a half to level up again and become a Level 3 Beast Master.

Of course, this is just normal cultivation. Now that Li Chang’an has the path of skill epiphany, the time to break through to Level 3 Beast Master will be much faster than imagined.

“The initial beast inside his body also took the opportunity to break through. A dual breakthrough, this kid’s luck is really good, saving a lot of effort!”

The surrounding hunters marveled. They had seen master-pet synergistic breakthroughs before, but combined with Li Chang’an’s previous feats, it was somewhat frightening.

The commotion here still attracted people from further away.

For example, the semi-unemployed instructor near the training area was drawn over.

Seeing the beast puppet beside Li Chang’an, the scholarly middle-aged man couldn’t help but exclaim, “Damn, a new student!”

As soon as Li Chang’an finished his breakthrough, the scholar grabbed him and took him into the school.

Wen Miaohua also followed. The hunters looked at each other, none daring to step forward to stop them, mainly because the memories of past make-up exams were too vivid.

Big men who could stop a dragon with their swords didn’t dare to move.

“My name is Zhuo Xueyi, the theoretical instructor of the Hunter Academy. You can call me Teacher Zhuo.”

Zhuo Xueyi saw Wen Miaohua come in and nodded for her to find a seat.

Li Chang’an greeted politely, “Hello, Teacher Zhuo.”

Zhuo Xueyi nodded with satisfaction, finally a well-mannered good student.

“Then let’s get straight to the point, first a placement test to see your foundation.”

Li Chang’an’s face twitched, he didn’t expect to have an exam during summer vacation, but he still honestly completed the test paper.

Wen Miaohua didn’t write, she just gave Zhuo Xueyi a badge. After seeing it, Zhuo Xueyi just smiled politely and didn’t mention the exam.

After breaking through to Level 2 Beast Master, Li Chang’an’s physical fitness and mental power greatly improved.

He finished the test paper in just ten minutes.

Zhuo Xueyi picked up the paper and quickly scanned it, huh, all correct?

Looked again, correct.

This was a test paper for graduate students! Full marks!

Zhuo Xueyi looked at Li Chang’an with a complicated expression and asked, “What is your background, and what is your relationship with the girl behind you?”

Li Chang’an honestly replied, “My father is Li Mingxuan, and the one behind is my friend.”

Understood.

The middle-aged scholar completely understood. He thought he had a promising good student, but it turned out to be a shallow-water shark.

Alright, Zhuo Xueyi took out a piece of paper from his drawer, wrote a few lines, stamped it, and handed it to Li Chang’an.

“You’ve graduated in theory. If you want to learn more, you can borrow books from the reading room on the second floor.”

After Li Chang’an and Wen Miaohua left, Zhuo Xueyi lay back in his chair and lit a cigarette.

Amidst the swirling smoke, Zhuo Xueyi stared blankly at the ceiling. Why does teaching this student feel so empty?

When Li Chang’an came out of the school with his graduation certificate, he happened to meet Duan Ben who was planning to go back for a drink.

“Ah? Teacher Zhuo let you back so soon?”

Li Chang’an shook the graduation certificate in his hand, and Duan Ben instantly froze. That was the graduation certificate for the theory course?!

The burly man was in disarray in the wind, thinking of all the effort he had spent to pass.

And this guy finished it in just over ten minutes!

Duan Ben’s mood instantly dropped, “You’re going to the practical instructor, right? I’ll take you there.”

With Duan Ben’s kind guidance, Li Chang’an and the others were naturally happy to follow.

The practical course instructor was similar to the theory course instructor, also semi-unemployed, but the practical course instructor was still a hunter, so his days weren’t too leisurely.

Li Chang’an came to a small house, behind which was a small yard, just enough for a few people to train.

The surroundings were also filled with bamboo, making it particularly cool in the summer.

“Old Mu, we’re at the academy!”

Duan Ben’s loud voice made the bamboo leaves tremble, and a somewhat gray-haired old man came out of the house.

Grumbling, “What are you shouting for! I’m not deaf!”

Old Mu immediately saw Li Chang’an behind Duan Ben and understood his purpose.

“Oh, what time is it? Old Zhuo is willing to let people go?”

Duan Ben proudly said, “This little brother passed the graduation exam in just ten minutes.”

His tone made it seem as if he was the one who passed the exam so quickly.

Old Mu looked at Li Chang’an with some surprise, “With this talent, he should be a scholar, not a hunter!”

Duan Ben didn’t waste words, succinctly saying, “Excellent talent in close combat light weapons, without training, just a reminder, he can self-learn Blade Breaker.”

Old Mu asked in surprise, “Really?”

“Why would I lie? Many people saw it at the training ground, you can ask around and you’ll know.”

Old Mu nodded, believing about seventy to eighty percent. He also knew these hunters liked to see newcomers make fools of themselves.

Just like university seniors always like to hold ice cola and watch freshmen during military training at the start of the school year.

With sinister intentions, their psychology is quite “twisted”!

Old Mu grabbed Li Chang’an’s arm and, under his horrified gaze, felt all over his body.

“Have you been breaking through continuously recently?”

Li Chang’an nodded.

Old Mu continued, “Breaking through too frequently, your physical fitness seems to improve quickly, but the foundation won’t be solid. Also, you’re lacking calcium!”

Li Chang’an couldn’t believe his ears. He, lacking calcium?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

He always ate well.

Old Mu saw Li Chang’an’s disbelief and explained, “From an ordinary person’s perspective, you’re not lacking calcium.”

“But you’re a hunter, and hunters have strict requirements for their bodies. In my eyes, you’re severely lacking calcium. Before you go back, buy calcium tablets and nutrition bars at the Hunter’s Path store.”

“If you can afford it, buy dragon bone calcium tablets; if not, ordinary bone powder calcium tablets will do. If you have difficulties, apply for hardship assistance at the reception.”

“There’s no requirement for energy bars. By the way, how big is your beast space?”

“It was 500 cubic meters, now it’s 1000 cubic meters.”

Li Chang’an, being a Chinese, especially likes to compromise.

Old Mu and Duan Ben: ….

Wen Miaohua covered her mouth and chuckled. She particularly liked Li Chang’an’s expressionless face when he said something shocking.

Old Mu: …….

What kind of genius haven’t I seen? It’s just 500 cubic meters doubled.

I really haven’t seen such a beast. Do young people’s beast spaces break through by doubling now?

Aren’t low-level beast masters supposed to increase by tens of cubic meters?

Old Mu felt he must have been out of touch with ordinary people’s lives for too long.

Yes, that must be it.
