The King of Beast Trainers

Fortunately, the call connected quickly.

A familiar voice came from the other end.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Is this Wave's Little White Dragon?" Lu Ran asked.

"Yes, it is." The other side responded with surprise, "This voice... Passerby A?!"

"Haha, you contacted me so soon, I thought you'd first take a nap and rest well for the night. Do you want to know where to register your identity information?" Little White Dragon asked.

"...No rush on that, listen to me, I was walking my dog in the hills behind our community, and we encountered a Northeast Tiger that seemed to have evolved, and I didn't see its Beast Trainer."

"Most importantly, it seems like it has eaten humans; my doggo smelled the scent of human blood on it."

After Lu Ran finished speaking, the other side went silent abruptly.

After a moment, an "Ah?" came from the other end.

"Damn it." A moment later, Wave's Little White Dragon couldn't help but curse.

"What's the situation now, are you in danger, where are you? It should be 'Contract Backlash.' This happens a lot overseas, some people try to contract ferocious beasts with Black Card, but they can't control them, resulting in their own death," Little White Dragon explained.

"Xiao Lu, listen to me, first find a safe place and tell me the address, I'll immediately find someone to handle this."

"Okay..." Lu Ran nodded, not expecting to get in touch with an official Beast Trainer so soon.

He had thought he would only come into real-world contact with them when going to register his identity.

"I am at..." Lu Ran was about to tell Little White Dragon his location, but in the next moment, a tiger's roar vibrated through the forest, and the giant tiger stopped confronting Mr. Husky and, as if enraged, pounced with a roar!

The shocking roar of the tiger could only be truly understood by those who have heard it firsthand. Even through the phone, Little White Dragon could hear the chilling roar.

On the other end, Little White Dragon's face turned deathly pale. Once contracted, tiger species are at the very least of the "extraordinary higher race."

Even without an Awakening Attribute, even at level 1, they could easily and brutally kill lower-race, lower-level creatures... This was bad!

"Passerby A!" he shouted anxiously, wanting to ask Lu Ran what was happening.

However, Lu Ran did not continue to reply for the time being.

As the giant tiger attacked, Mr. Husky's eyes shone as if the tiger's aggressive move was exactly what it wanted. Its body was enveloped in a celestial blue energy.

Whoosh!

The dust where it trod was instantly stirred up.

Husky's sprint, bolstered by the Power of Wind, turned it into a blur, its speed far surpassing that of the giant tiger.

Speed is power.

In the eyes of Lu Ran and Mr. Husky, the current giant tiger was nothing more than a big frame.

The beast was likely only level 1, not even capable of the simplest Energy Coverage.

Facing Mr. Husky, who had awakened its attribute, it indeed was nothing but an oversized cat.

Facing Mr. Husky, swift as a gale, the Northeast golden layer was clearly taken aback. However, by the time it reacted, its body had already collided directly with Mr. Husky's.

"Ugh—" However, even though the Northeast Tiger was only level 1, Mr. Husky and Lu Ran finally understood what the 'King of a Hundred Beasts' of the high races meant.

Despite having many disadvantages, that single collision allowed Mr. Husky to feel the immense strength erupting from the other party, causing it a faint pain.

It was a power that would completely overwhelm the strength of level 1 Mr. Husky.

"Roar!!!" Because of Mr. Husky's high speed, the Northeast Tiger's hunting skills weren't well-displayed and it was sent flying several meters by Mr. Husky. The impact was akin to a speeding car hitting the tiger.

This collision made the Northeast Tiger realize Mr. Husky was not to be trifled with, and it turned to leave. But encountering such a formidable opponent, Mr. Husky had no intention of letting the tiger escape.

"Aoowu!!" Mr. Husky exclaimed in excitement, biting a long branch beside him, ready to wield it as a sword and display his "Sword Technique".

Swish, swish, swish.

The Power of Wind wrapped around the branch, making it appear like a gleaming wind blade.

Holding the wind blade in his mouth, Mr. Husky gave chase. This is the so-called King of Beasts!

Dog Head Sword Flash!

Seeing this scene, the Northeast Tiger was even more dumbfounded. It kept looking back while running and nearly stumbled during its escape, losing all semblance of the majestic King of Beasts.

"Hey, hey, hey, Passerby A!!!" At this moment, Little White Dragon was still shouting.

"Uh, I'm fine." Lu Ran, hiding behind a tree, watched the scene and scratched his head, saying, "The tiger just attacked, and I took care of it for you guys on impulse. Thankfully, my Husky awakened its attribute and leveled up, otherwise it would have been dangerous."

"What a pity, such a large tiger, would've been great if it hadn't harmed anyone." Lu Ran lamented.

"Should count as an emergency avoidance, right?"

"Uh... You, you subdued it?" Little White Dragon was astonished.

But then, recalling that Lu Ran had performed well in the Trial Secret Realm and considering Mr. Husky had awakened its attribute, he understood they indeed had a considerable advantage over a tiger that had just encountered the extraordinary.

Phew... Little White Dragon breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that no one was hurt.

Although he understood, the courage that Lu Ran and his friends showed was rare; seriously, are these really high school students? What on earth do his parents do?

"Be careful, and also, give me your address. I'll contact the relevant departments in your area to take care of that tiger."

"You've really helped us out. The thought of a Northeast Tiger entering the city is unimaginable. I'll apply for a reward for you!"

"Alright."

"Forget the reward. I don't need the money. How about you find a way to secure my admission to Devil University instead? I don't want to take the college entrance exams..." Lu Ran said.

In truth, Lu Ran didn't care for a diploma either, but having studied for so many years, it felt like a loss not to get one. Well, might as well be a Beast Trainer with a diploma.

Little White Dragon: ???

As Lu Ran was speaking, he walked over towards Mr. Husky. By that time, the golden fur of the Northeast Tiger was already marked with numerous scratches, oozing blood.

The Northeast Tiger, backed into a corner at the foot of the mountain by Mr. Husky holding the branch, trembled with fear, its face overtaken by terror, like a startled bird, continuously roaring in a vain attempt to scare off its enemy.

Lu Ran watched in surprise at the branch in Mr. Husky's mouth... This guy... is improving so fast. Just moments ago, the Power of Wind burst the wooden sword, and now it can skillfully wrap energy around a branch.

A genius, huh?

"You look somewhat unfamiliar, you must have arrived in the last few months." Lu Ran then turned his gaze to the tiger. He'd met the ones at the wildlife park a few times, but he didn't recognize this one, which probably meant it was new.

Such a shame, now that it has hurt someone, who knows how it will be dealt with.

Soon, a group of officers searching for the escaped Northeast Tiger in the back hill of Red Leaf Park stopped, and one fourth-generation Beast Trainer took out his phone.

"Officer Luo Shang, this is the first bureau. The 'Northeast Tiger mauling and escape incident' previously reported in Green Sea City has been resolved by a local Beast Trainer. He has subdued the tiger, and I will send you the location."

"What?" Officer Luo Shang, fully armed and holding firearms, with an extraordinary police dog by his side, looked surprised and said, "Isn't Green Sea City only home to one Beast Trainer at the moment?"

"He's a Novice Beast Trainer."

"How could a novice possibly... Yes! I'll lead my team over right away." Officer Luo Shang took a deep breath in disbelief. He too had become a Beast Trainer just a week ago, with a D-class rating which was quite high, but even so, when his professionally trained police dog just caught the scent of the escaped tiger, it trembled with fear. What kind of novice could subdue an extraordinary tiger without the aid of firearms?

Could it be that his contract animal is an even more ferocious wild beast?

A moment later...

Officer Luo Shang and his team arrived at the location sent by Lu Ran, and then... they witnessed a scene that left them speechless.

A Northeast Tiger, huge beyond words, crouched at the foot of the mountain like a pitiful big cat, cornered by a Husky gripping a branch... and beside it, a youthful student sat on a rock playing with his phone.
