Chapter 4

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The beast eggs on the contract table could be snatched.

This was because the original rules were democratic. First come, first served.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see that the eighth beast egg in the second row was originally chosen by Ye Chen.

Just as he was about to reach out, the kid behind him pushed and beat him to it.

Such things actually happened often at every contract ceremony.

There were even several people who took a fancy to one beast egg at the same time.

The principle of resolving this situation was that the first examinee to obtain a Wild beast egg could contract it first.

The rest of the people could choose other eggs or wait at the side. If the first person failed, the people beside him would have a chance to try.

But doing so in this form would also be risky.

For example, the people at the back watched for a long time, but the first person to beat them to it would succeed.

Then the person waiting would waste the time to choose another Wild beast egg to contract.

It was even possible that the contract would fail in the end.

At this moment, Ye Chen was facing such a risk.

On the podium, Principal Luo was also paying attention to Ye Chen’s movements.

Because of his understanding of Luo Qingcheng, he judged that the beast egg was at least a beast with a top-grade bloodline.

If that was the case, the young man who beat him to it might not have the ability to successfully contract it.

Below the stage, Luo Qingcheng, who had successfully formed a contract, was naturally paying attention to the movements on the stage.

She was a little disgusted and speechless at Su Ming’s actions.

Because she knew in advance that Ye Chen would attend the contract ceremony, she had long planned to take the chance to repay him for saving her when she was young.

Based on her intuition, she sensed that the beast egg was definitely not ordinary.

It could be used as a courtesy gift for Ye Chen.

Who knew that the kid who had been staring at her so impudently just now would beat him to it?

Luo Qingcheng did not think that Su Ming could successfully contract that beast egg either.

She hoped Ye Chen would wait a little.

However, Ye Chen only thought for two seconds before turning around and walking to the back row. He reached out and placed his hand on a Wild beast egg.

This was a Wild beast egg that he had chosen when he was below the stage.

He was already a little hesitant when he heard the hint from Luo Qingcheng.

Strangely, why was the woman helping him?

They didn’t know each other. Was she playing with him?

Now that Su Ming had beaten him to it, he did not need to be troubled anymore.

Ye Chen slowly focused his psychic power and began to establish a connection with the beast egg under his hand.

A moment later, a subtle fluctuation came from his subordinate.

Ye Chen was delighted. He immediately increased his psychic power and tried his best to help the little Wild beast in the eggshell break out of its shell.

However, with a crack, the shell of the Wild beast cracked open, and a small tiger the size of half an arm crawled out of the shell.

It hadn’t even opened its eyes yet, but it let out the cry of a jungle king.

It looked cute and adorable.

Ye Chen reached out and held it in his palm. The little tiger immediately licked his hand affectionately.

At this moment, Ye Chen carefully sized it up and discovered that there was a closed eye in the middle of the pattern on its forehead.

“It’s the cub of the Three-Eyed Tiger!”

“It has top-grade aptitude!”

“Even though it can’t compare to Miss Luo’s little white dragon with the bloodline of a divine beast, it’s already very impressive!”

The big shots on the stage discussed.

In less than half an hour after the two batches of candidates, a peerless and top-grade Wild beast had already appeared.

Not only were the big shots amazed, but Principal Luo Tianning’s face was also flushed.

The candidates below the stage were also extremely envious.

This was a top-grade Wild beast.

Putting aside how likely it was, even if someone directly told the candidates present that this was a top-grade three-eyed tiger cub and asked them to go forward and contract it,

Candidates who had the ability to open it were probably rare.

Everyone’s talent was different. Even if there were high-grade Wild beast eggs, they might not be able to open them.

Like Su Ming now.

Because the act of snatching the beast egg was too ostentatious, many people were now looking at Su Ming.

He closed his eyes and tried his best to establish a connection with the beast egg under his hand.

But the egg didn’t ripple or react at all.

It was fine if it was the candidates below the stage, but the bright-eyed Beast Tamers and mentors on the stage immediately knew that this kid’s talent was extremely poor.

Principal Luo naturally realized that this candidate couldn’t even concentrate.

He could not use his talent fluctuations to establish a connection with the Wild beast egg.

At this moment, there was no need to talk about the beast egg that his S-rank daughter had her eyes on.

Even if this kid were to contract any low-grade beast egg, he might not necessarily succeed.

One by one, the candidates on stage chose suitable Wild beast eggs and successfully contracted them.

Su Ming was the only one who had started fighting with this beast egg from the moment he went on stage.

In the end, he was the only one left. There was still no movement from the beast egg.

His mentor had reminded him kindly more than once.

“Student, if your sensing doesn’t succeed, I suggest you choose another egg to try.”

Su Ming opened his eyes and thanked this kind mentor for the third time.

Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and closed his eyes again to continue.

“This kid can’t make it!”

“He might as well give up on choosing something else.”

“There’s no time. There’s less than a minute left.”

“That’s right. He should have quickly changed targets when Mentor first reminded him.”

“With his talent, he might not be able to succeed even if he changed his target.”

“Fortunately, the guy he beat to it didn’t wait for him.”

“Isn’t that so? He directly got a top-grade item!”

“Is this egg really that good? He’s still rushing to snatch it?”

“It’s useless whether it’s good or not. There are still 10 seconds left.”

“Ten, nine, eight, seven…”

Su Ming was already sweating profusely.

He thought to himself that it shouldn’t be!

Even if his talent was a little lacking, it was not to the extent that he could not even contract a young beast.

Earlier, he had seen candidates below the stage who were less talented than him. In the end, they had all successfully contracted.

“4, 3, 2, 1!”

“It’s time. Come down quickly!”

“Yes, come down! Don’t embarrass yourself on stage!”

The candidates below the stage began to mock Su Ming.

The mentor at the side also reminded, “It’s time. Everyone, line up and prepare to leave.”

How could Su Ming be willing to accept this? He ignored the mocking laughter.

Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind.

It seemed that he had read a novel in the past where the protagonist used blood as a medium to contract his spiritual weapon.

At the thought of this, Su Ming decisively raised a finger and bit down fiercely.

Blood instantly oozed from his fingertips.

He put his finger on top of the beast egg.

Blood dripped onto the blood-red eggshell of the Wild beast egg…
