"You'll know when it's time."
Nong Lejia merely laughed off Wu Fuyun's question without giving him a direct answer.
He didn't want other universities to learn about Ye Xuan too early.
To Jiangzhou University, Ye Xuan was like a rocket of triumph soon to be launched.
Wu Fuyun and the teaching assistants were rendered speechless when they heard what Nong Lejia said.
And the curiosity they felt grew even stronger.
"Ye Xuan," Lin Shiru said, "before you start cultivating, do you know what makes you different from the Beast Tamers who awakened their talents two or three years earlier than you?"
The gossiping of the students of the Beast Taming Class, the curiosity of Wu Fuyun and the rest of the people; with her power, Lin Shiru could hear and sense all of it.
But she ignored it.
The gossiping and the attitude of these students towards Ye Xuan was something that she had specially designed and prepared for him.
What was the difference?
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. "Level, I think? I've just awakened. Most of the Beast Tamers who've awakened two to three years earlier than me would probably be at the Bronze or even Silver Level already?"
"You're correct," Lin Shiru nodded.
"Of those students who awakened two to three years before you, and who are provided with a large number of resources, some of them are already at the Silver Level!
"They were at the Silver Level before they enrolled at the university!
"The same level that Nong Lejia is at!"
"I understand!" Ye Xuan's eyes were fiery.
Every year, there would indeed be a few overpowered freaks who would reach the Silver Level before they entered university.
These geniuses had all been reported in the news.
"Let me tell you. These people will be your only opponents in the future!
"Beast Tamers that reach the Bronze Level during high school cannot be considered as your opponent yet!"
Lin Shiru's voice was slightly hoarse.
She seemed to be placing an extremely heavy burden on Ye Xuan's shoulders.
She wanted him to carry a heavy load from now on.
"I understand!" Ye Xuan nodded once again.
Lin Shiru smiled at his response. "Alright, let's call it a day on this topic."
Her smile this time was a bit strange.
It was like sunshine piercing through the clouds on a winter day. It immediately swept away the heavy burden she'd placed on him just a moment before.
That smile of hers even seemed to affect Ye Xuan.
He felt instantly lighter.
Seeing Lin Shiru's smile, Ye Xuan trembled inwardly.
"Is that some kind of special power courtesy of reverse nurturing?"
Lin Shiru stopped smiling and immediately handed Ye Xuan a wristwatch and a ring.
"Now, keep these two items.
"This wristwatch is the latest Combat Watch.
"Compared to the genius Beast Tamers of the same age as you, aside from level, you're also greatly lacking in combat experience.
"There's a plethora of combat videos on this Combat Watch. Plus, it can also record and even evaluate your battles to help you improve.
"As for this ring, it's a Beast Ring with a Beast Taming Orb mounted on it.
"The Beast Ring can be used for storage. I put inside it some food that can assist your beast in advancing to the Dark Iron Level as quickly as possible, along with the corresponding feeding method.
"These items are one of the benefits the school is providing you with."
Ye Xuan immediately became happy when he heard her say this. "Thank you, Miss Lin."
He reached out to take the two items.
The Beast Ring looked just like the one he'd seen on Nong Lejia's hand earlier.
At that time, he had still been thinking about getting one for himself.
He hadn't expected that he would get one so soon.
As for the Combat Watch, he had seen advertisements for them on the internet.
Even Combat Watches for regular Warriors were worth tens of thousands of dollars.
He couldn't fathom how much this Combat Watch, which was the latest model and could assist Beast Tamers in improving their combat abilities, was worth.
Seeing Ye Xuan take the two items, Lin Shiru smiled.
"In addition, I'm going to assign you a task today, which is to watch videos.
"Watch all the combat videos about Ancient Wood Elves with your beast.
"Remember, a Beast Tamer's level is important.
"A Beast Tamer's innate talent is also important.
"But a Beast Tamer's experience in controlling his beasts in combat is equally important!
"At the same time, beasts need enough battles, or so to say, activities, to be able to perfectly digest the evolutionary resources they consume each day.
"This is also the reason why all students of the Beast Taming Class have to undergo actual combat every day."
"I'll bear that in mind!" Ye Xuan nodded.
"Alright. With that said, complete the task I gave you over here. Of course, you can also spend some time watching the other students' battles.
"This evening, when class is over, you can leave with them, but remember to come to school early tomorrow. The Amber Secret Realm will be opening."
Lin Shiru waved her hands, then turned around and left the Combat Hall, her high heels click-clacking yet again.
Leaving Ye Xuan alone in this place.
Following Lin Shiru's departure, many students in the hall immediately turned their heads to look at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled bitterly.
But he couldn't do anything about it.
The only thing he could do was not look back at them.
He put on both the Combat Watch and Beast Ring Lin Shiru had given him just now.
Both items looked interestingly strange. Including the Combat Watch, which was packed with technological sensors, each of the items had an Owner Recognition program.
The owner could choose between Recognize Owner or Remove Owner.
When Lin Shiru had handed the two items to him, they were in an unbounded state.
After Ye Xuan put the two items on his hands, he established a deep connection with them and completed the Owner Recognition by probing into them with his Mind Energy.
"These are so huge… are these lollipops?"
After setting up Owner Recognition on the two devices, Ye Xuan immediately opened the Beast Ring and scanned through it with his Mind Energy.
It was just that after this scan, he discovered not only that the storage space in this ring was 20 to 30 meters high and spanned across an area of thousands of square meters, but that it actually contained a lot of colorful lollipops.
"Wait, the space in this ring is thousands of square meters?"
All of a sudden, Ye Xuan felt his brain freeze.
According to the information he'd found on the Internet, a Beast Ring with space more than ten meters wide and two to three meters high was already worth 100,000 dollars.
How much did this Beast Ring of his actually cost?
While he thought about this question, he found a paper inside the Beast Ring.
This Beast Ring seemed to be able to widen the range of his Mind Energy within its space.
After he read the paper with his Mind Energy, he learned that the lollipops placed inside the Beast Ring were actually food comprised of dozens of evolution resources specially prepared for Lil Wan to help her evolve.
Ye Xuan waved his hands while chuckling, and a colorful lollipop appeared in his hands.
"Here, Lil Wan, have a lollipop."
This lollipop was slightly larger than Lil Wan.
If Lil Wan wanted to destroy it, her only option was to lick it away.
It would definitely make for an interesting scene.
