Chapter 11 - Conflict

Chen Nan did not take these gazes to heart. Instead, he turned his head and looked out the window.

He began enjoying the scenery outside the window.

At this moment, a young girl walked in.

When the people in the classroom saw her, they immediately stopped their discussion and looked at her with longing eyes.

This was because, during the awakening ceremony, her contracted beast was of the highest level!

Not only that, they later learned that her contracted beast had the Wolf King bloodline!

The Wolf King bloodline was extremely rare!

Very few people would hatch such a contracted beast.

After all, the Wolf King bloodline was one in a hundred.

Everyone's gaze followed Qing Yunshi's movements and landed on Chen Nan.

Qing Yunshi stood next to Chen Nan, her eyes filled with astonishment.

At the same time, she was puzzled, but she didn't say anything and just sat down beside him.

As for Chen Nan, when he saw Qing Yunshi coming to his side, his expression became strange as well.

With this, he finally understood why the others had been looking at him with strange gazes.

It turns out that he was sitting in the seat that was originally occupied by this girl.

However, Chen Nan didn't say anything. His expression didn't change as he turned his head to look out of the window again.

He was the one who had taken this seat first. As the saying goes, first come, first served. There was no reason for him to give up his seat.

At this moment, the surrounding people were looking in the direction of the two.

Their eyes were filled with astonishment. This was completely different from what they had expected.

They had thought that they would be able to see that the two become dissatisfied then summon their contracted beasts to battle.

They wanted to see how powerful Qing Yunshi's contracted beast was.

Was it as powerful as the legendary Wolf King?

In the end, this was it?

They had been so excited for nothing.

They all turned their gazes back and continued to chat and laugh with their companions.

At this moment, Ji Ren's figure appeared at the door.

Everyone's gaze shifted to the door again because of his arrival.

Ji Ren walked in and went straight to Chen Nan's seat.

With a smile on his face, he nodded at Qing Yunshi who was next to Chen Nan.

Then, his gaze fell on Chen Nan.

"Chen Nan, I know you. I saw you at the awakening ceremony yesterday. Speaking of which, you were the first to awaken the Beastmaster talent. However, don't feel inferior just because your contracted beast is a sparrow. After all, there is no difference between us. We are all Beastmasters and will have to study together in the future," Ji Ren looked at Chen Nan with a smile and greeted him.

Chen Nan, who was looking out of the window, turned his head when he heard Ji Ren's words. He looked at Ji Ren with a strange expression.

What was wrong with this person's brain?

They didn't know each other. Why would he feel inferior for no reason?

"Although you've become a Beastmaster, it's equally important to learn the theoretical knowledge. If you're late... Do you need me to help you find a front-row seat?" Ji Ren said.

As soon as he said this, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.

As everyone knew, becoming a Beastmaster wasn't as simple as commanding one's contracted beasts.

One also had to train to become a high-level Beastmaster.

Similar to the level of fierce beasts, Beastmasters were also divided into the different grades of black iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, royal, legendary, and mythical.

Similarly, they were divided into low, middle, and high-rank.

The higher the level, the more the Beastmaster could cross ranks to possess contracted beasts.

For example, when a Beastmaster was in the black iron grade, not only could they contract a black iron grade vicious beast, but they could also contract a silver grade vicious beast.

Not only that, in Luoyang Academy, the higher the level of a Beastmaster, the more forward their seats would be.

The seats in front had an extraordinary meaning.

The more forward one's seat was, the higher the level of the Beastmaster and the strength of the contracted beast.

Those who sat in the first five rows could also obtain medicinal herbs rewarded by the academy.

These medicinal herbs could help the contracted beasts evolve.

Hence, everyone was racking their brains to sit in the first five rows.

If one sat in the first and second rows, not only could one obtain medicinal herbs, but even medicinal pills!

Using medicinal pills to evolve the contracted beasts was even more effective!

Hearing Ji Ren's words, Chen Nan's face carried a faint smile.

Glancing at Qing Yunshi who was next to him, he instantly understood Ji Ren's thoughts.

It turned out Ji Ren wanted to show his abilities in front of Qing Yunshi.

At this moment, the surroundings were filled with praises for Ji Ren.

"Oh my God! Isn't Ji Ren too kind? To think he even offered to find that guy a seat at the front."

"I didn't expect Ji Ren to help him to this extent. After all, it's not easy to find a seat at the front."

"Indeed. With Chen Nan's strength, it's not easy to do such a thing."

"I wonder if he will agree?"

"I think he should agree. It's a good opportunity to use these medicinal herbs to evolve his contracted beast. At the very least, it will give his contracted beast the ability to fight."

"He probably will agree since it's such a good opportunity. It's a pity we don't have such good treatment. Chen Nan has just arrived, and his treatment is already so good."

The surroundings were filled with discussions. Most of them were praising Ji Ren and a few were discussing Chen Nan.

Their eyes were filled with envy as they looked at Chen Nan.

They all expected that Chen Nan would agree to Ji Ren's offer.

After all, it was not easy to find a seat in the front.

When Chen Nan heard this, his expression did not change.

"There's no need," Chen Nan said calmly.

He would rely on his own strength to get a seat in the front. He did not need the help of others.

Besides, Ji Ren only wanted to attract Qing Yunshi's attention.

Chen Nan didn't know if he was sincere, so he rejected his good intentions.

As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed.

They looked at each other. They could see from each other's eyes that all of them thought that Chen Nan simply didn't know what was good for him.

To think Chen Nan didn't grasp this opportunity!

One had to know that if he missed it, he probably wouldn't be able to sit in the front anymore.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the classroom became heavy.

Even Qing Yunshi, who had always been indifferent, looked at Chen Nan in surprise.

Everyone in the classroom looked at Chen Nan in surprise.

She did not expect Chen Nan to reject Ji Ren.

Hearing this, the smile on Ji Ren's face, who had always been smiling, instantly disappeared, and the way he looked at Chen Nan changed.

He was someone who cared about his face. This was the first time he had been rejected in front of so many people.

As such, he was a little angry.

To think Chen Nan did not know how to appreciate favors!

However, Ji Ren did not denounce him straight away. Instead, he glared at Chen Nan angrily.

Chen Nan's expression was very calm as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Just then, Yu Ruyun walked in from the door.

She looked around and found that the classroom was very quiet.

She was a little curious. Shouldn't the students be very lively on their first meeting with each other?

Why was it so quiet?

Was this a prank?

Were they trying to test her reaction?

Yu Ruyun walked up to the podium and looked at them again.

"The classroom is so quiet. I didn't expect you guys to get along so quickly," Yu Ruyun smiled.

Hearing her words, everyone came back to their senses.

It turned out that their class teacher had arrived without them noticing.
