Contracted Beasts.
When many people hear this term, they often associate it with the Beastmaster profession.
But in reality, it has nothing to do with whether you are a Beastmaster or not.
Because every job changer can learn a universal skill called 'Beast Contract' when their Level reaches 25.
Through this skill, you can find a magical beast that resonates with you and sign a contract protected by the rules of heaven and earth.
Additionally, for Beastmasters, the relationship with their controlled beasts is a hierarchical one where commands are mandatory.
In contrast, contracted beasts and their contractors are equal allies, and the contractor cannot forcefully command the beast.
Moreover, a beast that has signed a contract with a job changer will not be influenced by any other Beastmaster's taming attempts.
Generally speaking.
A person can only contract with one beast.
However, some special individuals who are naturally attuned to magical beasts can simultaneously contract with more than one beast.
Some prodigies can even contract with the descendants of legendary divine beasts.
Since the start of the world catastrophe, people from all races have been trying to capture and tame the powerful beasts that have appeared in the real world.
After all, this is an undeniable source of immense power.
Some job changers may not have great personal strength, but by contracting with a powerful and noble beast, they can gain significant power.
Up to this day, the development of contracted beasts has become quite mature.
Every university in the Dragon Kingdom has its own beast breeding base.
This is to facilitate students in selecting a suitable magical beast from the breeding base once they reach Level 25.
Of course...
There are also some private beast breeding companies that specialize in raising pet beasts that do not require a 'Beast Contract' to be controlled.
The reason Dean Zhou mentioned contracted beasts to these prodigies is because it pertains to an important world-class event.
The Global Top Universities Beast Battle Championship!
In such a grand event, not only are there various noble-blooded divine beast descendants, but also numerous top-tier prodigies from various countries competing fiercely!
As a rule, only top students who have undergone a second job change and are in their third year or higher are eligible to participate in this level of competition.
Even geniuses like Zhu Yaoguang and Ji Wuming do not qualify!
However, after witnessing Ling Zhan's monstrous strength firsthand, Zhou Hongfu thought...
Perhaps he could give it a try.
Even if he contracts with a particularly trashy beast and loses to others, it doesn't matter...
It's all about gaining experience.
It's not good for young people to have everything go too smoothly.
Tasting the bitter fruit of failure can better motivate the heart.
"Ling Zhan, I have already discussed with several deans..."
"This time, you will represent Tianyan Academy in the Global Universities Beast Battle Championship!"
Zhou Hongfu looked at Ling Zhan with a serious expression.
As these words fell, many of the surrounding prodigies were taken aback.
This...
It seems the old dean has high hopes for Ling Zhan!
A freshman being nominated to participate in a world-class competition that only top-tier third-year students are eligible for!
Moreover...
Dean Zhou's decision is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the third and fourth-year students!
As everyone knows, students from all major academies go to the forbidden battlefield's front line for training when they reach their third and fourth years.
Currently, each academy only has access to second-tier job trial secret realms.
If you want to gain the massive experience to reach Level 70 and the opportunity for a third-tier job change, there's only one way.
Go to the front line of the forbidden battlefield!
The fortress on that battlefield will reward you based on your battle achievements, including opportunities to enter the third-tier job trial secret realms!
Third and fourth-year students don't have time to watch any crap live streams.
What they have to do every day on the front line of the battlefield is...
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
So...
When the list of representatives is announced, and the third and fourth-year students return from the battlefield...
Ling Zhan will first face the doubts and challenges of the top-tier third and fourth-year students!
As for Zhou Hongfu, the old fox, he had long anticipated this development.
Even if Ling Zhan is defeated by the top third and fourth-year students, they can just change the list.
As for Zhu Yaoguang, Ji Wuming, and others...
Zhou Hongfu also has plans for them. He turned to look at them and said with a calm smile:
"As for you guys..."
"You will participate in the demon eradication operations."
"Currently, there is a severe shortage of manpower for demon eradication operations everywhere. After you return to school, teachers at the third-tier level will take you to various places for support."
"Consider it as training."
The geniuses: "..."
...
...
Two days later.
With the end of the campus lockdown and inspection.
Dean Zhou also led everyone back to Tianyan Academy.
Ling Zhan, however, was taken aside for a private conversation by several deans.
Clearly, Ling Zhan is a student of the Magic Guidance Academy.
Logically, all matters concerning his competitions, assessments, evaluations, and contracted beasts should be handled by Wang Shi.
But now Ling Zhan was snatched up by the other deans.
Naturally, this was to help Ling Zhan select a suitable contracted beast.
Beast battles...
How can you compete without a contracted beast?
Thus...
Ling Zhan was fortunate enough to come to the beast breeding base of Tianyan Academy!
This is actually an extremely vast and isolated secret realm!
Here.
The sun is shining, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming.
In the distance, the green mountains stretch endlessly, with verdant forests everywhere.
There are also clear rivers and streams, along with various blooming flowers...
This is a secret realm akin to a paradise!
As Ling Zhan looked around.
He saw various strange magical beasts inhabiting the vast green meadows.
Some beasts were small but agile.
Some were covered in rock armor but had clumsy limbs.
Occasionally, a large shadow would sweep by.
Looking up, there were groups of unicorn wyverns soaring freely across the sky!
Many second-year students were playing with the beasts here, acting as caretakers to earn points for the Tianyan Rankings.
The arrival of the five deans made Miao Cong, the head of the breeding base, extremely nervous.
When the other four deans jointly authorized the visit, saying they were taking Ling Zhan to see the four divine beast descendants.
Miao Cong's eyelids twitched even more.
These four divine beast descendants are the contracted beasts of the four deans!
The reason Wang Shi didn't have one was that his contracted beast had sacrificed itself in the forbidden land battle decades ago.
Tianyan Academy had spent a great deal of effort to find mates for these four divine beast descendants.
Now.
These four divine beast descendants were living a stable and happy life with their mates in this paradise-like secret realm.
Of course...
Their offspring naturally belong to Tianyan Academy.
Students of Tianyan Academy can spend a large number of Tianyan Ranking points to try their luck for a chance to meet the offspring of the divine beast descendants.
Whether the offspring of the divine beasts will contract with you depends on whether they take a liking to you.
Now that Ling Zhan was arranged to meet the four divine beast descendants, naturally, these four divine beast descendants would call their children.
To see if any of them would take a liking to Ling Zhan.
This kind of treatment is unique!
At least, Miao Cong, who has been raising beasts here for decades, had never seen any student receive such an honor!
