Beast Tamer: Awakening a Mythical Talent at the Beginning

Chapter 19 Feng Qianyu’s challenge, the Thousand Blade Centipede Train!

“Grandfather agreed? That’s great.”

Bai Zian’s excitement was evident when he received the news that Bai Jingchong had agreed.

As for Bai Jingchong’s conditions, such as carrying a tracker, Bai Zian did not say much.

After all, these precautions were for his safety, and how could he refuse?

Once everything was prepared, Bai Zian was ready to leave the Bai family and head to Candlefire City.

However, just as Bai Zian stepped out of the house, a tall woman with striking red hair blocked his path.

“I finally found you, Bai Zian. I thought you were too scared to see me?”

“Tell me, why did you leave so abruptly during the Awakening Ceremony? Our bet is not yet settled.”

Feng Qianyu’s voice was icy as she looked angrily at Bai Zian.

Indeed, the woman confronting Bai Zian was Feng Qianyu, the eldest daughter of the Feng family.

She was the rival who had made a bet with Bai Zian during the Awakening Ceremony and successfully awakened the S-class talent [Phoenix Flame].

Feng Qianyu had been searching for Bai Zian for several days.

However, Bai Zian had been busy with constructing the Mythical Beast Space and contracting the White Scale Fish, completely ignoring external matters.

As a result, Feng Qianyu had not been able to find him until today, when Bai Zian was about to leave.

“Little Phoenix, we both awakened S-class talents, so the bet ended in a draw. What more do you want?”

Bai Zian looked at Feng Qianyu with a hint of exasperation.

According to their bet, they should be even.

Bai Zian had been unwilling to engage too much with Feng Qianyu to keep his secrets hidden.

Yet, Feng Qianyu had come looking for him, persistent and unrelenting.

“True, we ended in a draw, but how can you leave without a word? Am I not even worthy of being taken seriously as your rival?”

Feng Qianyu was irritated.

She was not upset about the draw but about Bai Zian leaving without informing her.

This implied that Bai Zian did not value their bet, and she seemed unworthy of being taken seriously.

After all, she had always touted Bai Zian as her nemesis.

But Bai Zian seemed to disregard her entirely.

This was something Feng Qianyu, with her pride, found hard to tolerate.

“Little Phoenix, you must be idle if you have time for this.”

Understanding the situation, Bai Zian felt a bit speechless.

This girl’s temperament was indeed quite troublesome.

If it weren’t for the involvement of their elders, he would have seriously considered putting this arrogant girl in her place.

“Bai Zian, the previous bet is void. I want to bet with you again.”

Feng Qianyu said firmly, looking at Bai Zian with seriousness.

“Another bet? What are the terms?”

Bai Zian asked casually, not stopping Feng Qianyu.

He was curious to see what Feng Qianyu had in mind.

“It’s simple. We’ve both awakened Beast Tamer talents and are about to join the ranks of Beast Tamers.”

“So, let’s use our Beast Taming abilities to settle this.”

“By the time school starts, we’ll both have contracted spirit beasts.”

“So, after school starts, we’ll have a battle with our contracted beasts.”

“As for the bet, it will be the same as before—the winner can command the loser to do one thing.”

Feng Qianyu spoke quickly, laying out her thoughts without a pause, as if she had planned it in advance.

“Are you sure? The fire-type spirit beasts of the Feng family will find it difficult to handle the water-type spirit beasts of the Bai family.”

Bai Zian looked at Feng Qianyu with surprise.

He did not expect Feng Qianyu to propose such a challenge.

The Feng family specialized in fire-type spirit beasts.

If the Bai family was a water-type spirit beast family, then the Feng family was a fire-type spirit beast family.

Moreover, Feng Qianyu’s awakened talent [Phoenix Flame] was clearly related to fire.

Bai Zian’s water-type spirit beast would naturally have an advantage over Feng Qianyu’s fire-type spirit beasts.

So, Bai Zian was curious about what confidence Feng Qianyu had to challenge him.

“So what? Or are you afraid?”

Feng Qianyu said proudly, seemingly indifferent to the matter.

In fact, she continued to provoke Bai Zian.

“Interesting. Little Phoenix, I accept this bet.”

Bai Zian said with a smile, looking at Feng Qianyu.

To be honest, although Feng Qianyu was arrogant, she was not foolish.

Her willingness to issue such a challenge meant she had her own cards to play.

But Bai Zian had no reason to fear.

After all, the quality of his White Scale Fish was exceptionally high.

Bai Zian was confident that no matter what Feng Qianyu’s trump card was, it could not match up to the White Scale Fish.

Thus, he had no reason to worry.

For this reason, Bai Zian agreed to the challenge.

Thus, Bai Zian and Feng Qianyu’s second bet was established.

“Great, it’s settled then.”

“Just wait. I will definitely defeat you.”

Feng Qianyu’s face showed undeniable joy.

She seemed to envision herself triumphantly defeating Bai Zian and making him cry.

Afterward, Feng Qianyu left with her bodyguards, full of joy.

Bai Zian smiled wryly.

Although Little Phoenix was proud, her emotions were easy to read.

Such people might cause trouble sometimes, but they were also easier to handle.

With that settled, Bai Zian prepared to set off again.

Though interrupted by Little Phoenix, he did not forget the purpose of his trip.

With this thought, Bai Zian resumed his journey to Candlefire City.

Although Candlefire City was a subsidiary city of Bai Lin City, there was still a considerable distance between them.

To travel from Bai Lin City to Candlefire City, one needed to use a unique transportation tool for humans, called the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train.

The reason was simple: in this Beast Tamer world, the wilds were always dangerous.

Typically, apart from Beast Master teams on hunting missions, humans rarely roamed the wilds.

The wilderness belonged to spirit beasts.

Countless spirit beasts ravaged the wilds, making it impossible for humans to establish facilities there.

Therefore, humans needed special transportation tools like the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train to travel between cities.
