Chapter 04
After contracting a beast, every beast master has a pentagram-shaped totem called the “Beast Master’s Emblem” appear on the back of their right hand.
In daily life, a beast master can store their beast within the Beast Master’s Emblem, ensuring the beast gets ample rest and sleep.
When an assessment or battle is required, the beast master can summon their beast at any time.
Xiao Xingyu raised his right hand, and the Beast Master’s Emblem glowed with a golden light.
“Black Fang, it’s your turn.”
A blood contract formation appeared on the ground, and a massive black shadow emerged before the crowd.
“Damn, what kind of beast is that? I’ve never seen it before!”
“I thought Xiao Xingyu’s beast was a Wind Speed Hound?”
“What’s with this giant black wolf!”
At that moment, standing beside Xiao Xingyu was a giant wolf the size of a heavy truck.
The wolf was covered in black fur, each strand resembling burning black flames, swaying with the wind.
Its limbs were wrapped in red-hot iron chains, like instruments of death from hell.
Additionally, the wolf had a c***k on its forehead, with magma flowing through it, resembling a sharp sword.
This was why Xiao Xingyu named it “Black Fang.”
The giant wolf roared, and black flames covered the entire testing area!
The onlookers were terrified, retreating in shock.
The beast testing device displayed a string of data.

The basic information about the Hellstorm Wolf shocked everyone.
“Epic quality bloodline, incredible!”
“This beast is so cool, every strand of its fur is like burning black fire!”
“Looking at that giant wolf’s eyes, it’s like the King of Hell!”
Everyone’s faces were filled with astonishment and surprise, as no one had seen such a beast before.
Even after checking the comprehensive “Beast Master’s Compendium” compiled by multiple nine-star beast masters, there was no trace of the Hellstorm Wolf.
“This giant wolf’s bloodline… truly epic quality?”
Su Zhe was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief, envy, and jealousy.
The Hellstorm Wolf sat beside Xiao Xingyu, exuding a powerful presence, with its hellish fire turning the entire test area into a roasting ground.
Chen Qinian remained silent for a long time before speaking.
“Candidate Xiao Xingyu, you’ve passed the assessment!”
“Issue the admission letter to Qinglong Academy and award a one-star beast master badge.”
In the eyes of the entire city, Xiao Xingyu received the admission letter from Chen Qinian.
Chen Qinian attached a one-star badge to Xiao Xingyu’s chest.
From this moment on, Xiao Xingyu became a one-star beast master and a first-year student at Qinglong Academy.
“Xiao Xingyu, here is your Qinglong Academy uniform, please put it on.”
The uniforms of the four major academies are highly designed, taking the form of robes, also known as “Beast Master Robes.”
Qinglong Academy’s Beast Master Robe is entirely cyan with a blue dragon pattern on the back, making anyone who wears it look impressive.
Xiao Xingyu donned the Beast Master Robe, his already handsome face gaining additional charm and authority.
“Congratulations!”
“Thank you, examiner.”
“My name is Chen Qinian, and I’m a mentor at Qinglong Academy. You can call me Director Chen from now on.”
“Director Chen, please step aside, you’re blocking my interview camera.”
“Oh…”
Chen Qinian stepped aside, and Xiao Xingyu was immediately surrounded by media reporters.
“Xiao Xingyu, how did you contract an epic bloodline beast?”
“Is that all? Isn’t it just about having the skills?”
“Xiao Xingyu, your spiritual power is only 2 points lower than the genius Ye Shuangning. What are your thoughts on this?”
“Ye Shuangning? Sorry, I don’t know her.”
“Are you proud and happy to have entered Qinglong Academy?”
“Just routine, no need to elaborate.”
In no time, Xiao Xingyu’s name topped the national trending list.
【Genius Youth Xiao Xingyu Emerges, Talent Close to Ye Shuangning!】
【Hellstorm Wolf, A Missing Piece in the Beast Master’s Compendium?】
【Xiao Xingyu Successfully Admitted to Qinglong Academy!】
【Updated Genius Monster List, Xiao Xingyu Ranks 24th!】
Xiao Xingyu’s name spread across the nation, becoming a media darling and a topic of discussion among people.
Chen Qinian, browsing the trending news about Xiao Xingyu on his phone, smiled with satisfaction.
“I didn’t expect that in this land of limited talent, there would actually be…”
Xiao Xingyu had found a treasure.
He was the first person in Qingfeng City's history to be admitted to one of the four major academies.
Chen Qinian approached Xiao Xingyu and patted him on the shoulder.
"Xiao Xingyu, I'll be waiting for you at Qinglong Academy on the day of enrollment."
"Director Chen, we'll definitely see each other then."
After Chen Qinian left, Xiao Xingyu planned to hurry home to share the good news with his sister, Xiao Ruoxue.
Suddenly, he stopped and turned to Su Zhe with a playful glint in his eyes.
Su Zhe, once arrogantly boasting, now wore a forced smile. "Xiao Xingyu, no, Brother Xingyu, congratulations on getting into Qinglong Academy!"
Even though Su Zhe was from a wealthy family, in this world where strength matters most, Xiao Xingyu was now a nationally recognized genius and a new student at Qinglong Academy. His future prospects were boundless.
Su Zhe, destined to stay in this small city, was now nothing more than a frog in a well compared to Xiao Xingyu.
"By the way, do you remember our bet?"
Su Zhe's face turned pale.
"Brother Xingyu, we’re classmates now. The bet was just a joke. Don’t take it too seriously."
"Get down on your knees."
Xiao Xingyu's two words were like heavy weights, pressing Su Zhe down, making him tremble with sweat.
Thud~
Su Zhe knelt!
He knelt with flushed cheeks, holding back a tide of resentment but unable to release it.
Fear was real!
He feared Xiao Xingyu’s current status and position.
From the moment Xiao Xingyu received the Qinglong Academy admission letter, everyone in the city, even the mayor, had to show him respect!
"According to the bet, besides kneeling, there’s one more thing."
"Dad~ Daddy~"
When Su Zhe uttered those words, it felt like he had lost his soul, his dignity shattered.
Xiao Xingyu revealed a satisfied smile. "Good, but I don't have a son like you with spiritual power below 600."
The humiliation was complete. Su Zhe gritted his teeth but dared not protest.
At this moment, Xiao Xingyu’s high school classmates and alumni rushed to him.
"God Xiao, congratulations!"
"Brother Xingyu, we were roommates in high school. Now that you’ve made it big, don’t forget us!"
"Brother Xiao, can I be your girlfriend?"
These flattering people were the same ones who had mocked and humiliated Xiao Xingyu before.
Their once ugly faces were now filled with sycophantic smiles.
Among the crowd stood a timid girl.
Jiang Lina, Xiao Xingyu’s ex-girlfriend.
"Xingyu, over these past two and a half years, I’ve had deep feelings for you."
"So, is there any chance we could…”
Xiao Xingyu showed a benign smile. "Is this how you beg to get back together?"
Jiang Lina, abandoning all pretense, dropped to her knees in front of Xiao Xingyu, tears streaming down her face.
"Xingyu, please, I realize my mistakes now."
"Let’s get back together!"
Xiao Xingyu coldly shook off Jiang Lina’s hand and said indifferently, "You were the one who broke up with me. Why are you crying now?"
At that moment, the scene was frozen.
The woman kneeling on the ground was merely a freshman from a lower-tier academy, destined to remain in a small city.
The man standing tall was not only a new student at Qinglong Academy but also a nationally acclaimed genius, destined to be
come a pillar of the country and a hero in the eyes of the people.
Rain poured down, washing Jiang Lina’s face.
As she watched Xiao Xingyu’s figure recede, she finally realized that she was no longer worthy of this man.
