Due to the fact that many living spaces had been occupied by extraordinary creatures, the human activity area had clearly become smaller. Moreover, even a city with sufficient defense power was not 100% safe.
Take Guancheng for example.
The outermost part of the city was a defensive zone. The buildings there were built according to the standards of a military fortress. Even a seemingly ordinary dormitory building had walls more than two meters thick and was made of the strongest steel and concrete.
Many military weapons were also set up in these buildings to guard against large-scale attacks from extraordinary creatures.
Of course, modern weapons alone could not stop all extraordinary creatures. Extraordinary creatures above the elite level could basically ignore many firearms.
Therefore, in addition to ordinary soldiers, there would also be many Beast Tamers stationed in each city.
At the same time, a powerful city lord would be appointed to take charge of the local military and political power to protect the citizens.
If one wanted to become the City Lord, one had to at least become a Grandmaster Beast Tamer.
In a way, the city lord was the patron saint of the city. The residents of the city relied on him to live in peace.
It was because of this that the city lord had so much power. The word "lord" spoke for itself.
Inside the defense zone was the real downtown. Most of the city residents lived here, and the closer they were to the city center, the more prosperous it became.
It was worth mentioning that there were also a large number of civilians living outside the defense area. They were scattered in various suitable places for humans to live in.
Although the garrison strength of the towns and villages was not comparable to the downtown, they had usually arranged for Beast Tamers to guard them.
From this, it could be seen that the current society was inseparable from Beast Tamers.
Without a Beast Tamer holding the fort, the existing living space of humans might be occupied by extraordinary creatures.
The greater the responsibility, the greater the power.
It was precisely because they were too important that in today's society, all Beast Tamers were superior.
Especially Beast Tamers who had reached the elite level or above, their social status was equivalent to a minor noble in the feudal era.
Not to mention a Grandmaster Beast Tamer like Bai Zhining's father.
The title of honorary deputy city lord was not something that just anyone could obtain. This represented great power!
The next morning, Su Yi arrived at Jingtian Tower on his bicycle.
Looking at the magnificent building, he couldn't help but wonder when he would be able to buy a floor inside.
"Hello, are you Mr. Su Yi?"
A tall woman dressed as a secretary took the initiative to greet him. She had a welcoming smile.
She had seen Su Yi's photo in advance, so she naturally could not be wrong.
"That's me."
In front of this woman, Su Yi did not show any fear and returned a friendly smile.
"Mr. Su Yi is here on time. This way, please. Our lady is already here. Leave the bicycle here. I'll get someone to park it for you."
"Thank you."
Su Yi did not say anything else and followed her into the building.
"The fifth to tenth floors of the building are specially set up as training grounds for Beast Tamers, including meditation rooms, fitness rooms, combat rooms, simulation battle stages, and so on. They can satisfy most of the daily needs of Beast Tamers."
The female secretary took the initiative to explain to Su Yi.
Su Yi nodded gently.
Although he was a little envious, he didn't care too much. After all, his school had similar facilities.
Soon, the two of them took the elevator to the eighth floor. This was a pet-versus-pet stage that was completely surrounded by transparent bulletproof glass for the platform. It was also covered with a meter-high layer of soil that simulated a grassland environment.
It was said that there was also an underwater battle platform on the ninth floor.
As soon as he walked in, Su Yi saw a beautiful woman in her thirties. She was plump, beautiful, and dressed fashionably.
Not far away, there was a pair of sisters who looked similar.
The elder sister was none other than Bai Zhining, whom Su Yi was more familiar with. At this moment, she was wearing a white tight singlet and black tight training pants, showing off her impressive breasts and straight long legs. If he guessed correctly, she should have been exercising not long ago.
The other was a little girl who was about to enter junior high. Although she was a little girl, she was probably 1.5 meters tall and looked exquisite and cute. She was reciting from a book called "Extraordinary Creatures".
"Zhining, this must be the genius junior you were talking about. Hello, I'm their mother, Li Wenyu."
The beautiful woman walked over and introduced herself. She did not underestimate Su Yi just because he was a high school student.
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Su Yi. You can call me Xiao Yi."
Although he was a little surprised that Bai Jingtian's wife was here, Su Yi did not show it. His behavior was very appropriate.
"Alright, then I'll call you Xiao Yi. You should be very familiar with Zhining, so I won't introduce you. This is Zhining's sister, Zhiyan, and your sparring partner this time."
As she spoke, Li Wenyu even called out to the little girl.
"Hello, I hope you can enlighten me in the future."
The little girl was still very polite on the surface, but as she spoke, she had been sizing up Su Yi with a doubtful gaze. Seeing that apart from being a little handsome, Su Yi's clothes were very ordinary, a trace of contempt flashed across her face.
"Hello."
Su Yi greeted her as well.
"I heard from my sister that your pet is Thorn Grass. Not long ago, it even defeated an apprentice-level, eight-star wild Iron Claw Badger. Is that true?"
The little girl asked suddenly.
"I was just lucky."
Su Yi nodded gently.
"That's not something that can be explained by just being lucky. Thorn Grass isn't very intelligent. Being able to defeat the Iron Claw Badger is enough to prove your command ability. Can I ask your Thorn Grass's current spiritual energy level? Is it an eight-star or nine-star apprentice?"
Clearly, the little girl had tentatively approved of him.
However, Su Yi couldn't help but glance at Bai Zhining and ask curiously, "Didn't your sister tell you that it's a four-star apprentice?"
"Four-star? That's not a funny joke." The little girl frowned.
Li Wenyu clearly didn't know that Su Yi's Thorn Grass was so low-level. She couldn't help but look at Bai Zhining questioningly.
"It's indeed a four-star apprentice. That's why I said that Su Yi is a genius. Such a command and combat talent is extremely rare. However, Su Yi's pet should not be ordinary either. If I'm not wrong, the various skills of the Thorn Grass must have reached the proficient level."
Bai Zhining stood up and explained.
Proficient?
I see!
The little girl finally understood.
"Looks like it's similar to my Purple-Tailed Scorpion. It's the only way I can fight across stars."
"But compared to my Purple-Tailed Scorpion, it still doesn't have any advantage. My Purple-Tailed Scorpion has long grown to the Apprentice level of seven stars!"
