Beastmaster: I am a true genius

"Hey, Lao Zhou, what do you think?"

"...What a pity."

In a corner of the gymnasium where no one could see them, two white-haired old men were pretending to be cleaners, one holding a mop and the other holding a trash can. Seeing that the game was over, the two men sat on the steps together and sighed.

Fang Xu, the head of the Fang family, is 92 years old and a three-star beastmaster. Although his strength is average, his family's influence in Liuheng City is overwhelming. The Intermediate Beast Taming Center in Liuheng City is the Fang family's property. His own daughter, Fang Ling, has reached three stars at a young age, which is also inseparable from the support of this huge resource.

Zhou Xuanhong, a water-based pet researcher, is also 92 years old and a three-star beastmaster. He and Fang Xu are childhood friends. The Zhou family has moved to another province. Because Zhou Xuanhong is not interested in managing family affairs, he left the family to his wife and later his son, and lived a carefree life.

But now, they are both depressed.

The reason was simple. It was because they had just inquired about the girl named Kitsune Shichi, whose mental power was level 11 and whose soul strength was SSS. This genius who only appears once every few hundred years was intercepted by Shengxu on their territory and was forced to sign a contract with Slime...

But the focus is on the Holy Ruins. Some things are not secrets, such as the owner of the Holy Ruins. Although no one knows his name, everyone knows that this man has lived for thousands of years. Even if he has the water fairy, he has already reached the brink of death.

"Why did that old guy suddenly come out? Didn't he say he never goes out?"

Zhou Xuanhong sighed. He had a vague bad feeling. Apart from anything else, the Nine-Star Beastmaster was about to die, and no one knew what crazy things he would do before he died. He even chose to target them, Liu Heng... What do you think is going on?

The emperor-level strongmen are not just talking about destroying the world. They are able to fight against flash floods, avalanches, and mudslides on their own. They are even more terrifying than natural disasters.

"Is he still around here... Tell your subordinates to be more restrained recently and not go out if possible."

So Zhou Xuanhong now particularly admired that little girl. She had met the master of the Holy Ruins and heard that she had rejected him. She got up from the hospital after her injuries were treated and left as if nothing had happened. She even went to the Beast Taming Center for a walk...

Look, you're still in the mood to participate in the beast battle!

It's really like 'a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger'...

"But this slime is quite resistant to attacks." Zhou Xuanhong murmured again. This was also considered an occupational disease. Although slimes were classified as dark-type, they were not within his research scope. "Logically, the lightning type should have an advantage over the dark type. With such a large lightning ball and Huang Shanjun being a mid-level pet, how could her slime be unscathed..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up: "[Devouring] is a high-level skill, so it's not impossible to have an additional intermediate [Immunity to Lightning Element]. The innate skills of primary beast pets are high-level skills - according to this standard, hey, Lao Fang, do you think this slime is as high-level as the dragon?"

"That's just a slime, it can't do anything." Fang Xu shook his head. He was not thinking about the battle in front of him. "Even if that girl has potential, before her potential turns into strength, she will either choose to join a side or become a sacrifice."

What happened yesterday afternoon was no secret.

"Zhongyong will definitely send someone over," he said.

Zhongyong is an organization that is opposed to Shengxu. Its main responsibility is to stop Shengxu from causing chaos. In the first few years, it was a simple combat group, but later it became larger and larger and gradually turned into an economic and political complex.

"Who will they send? Alex with eight stars?" Zhou Xuanhong asked. He would never understand politics in his life.

Fang Xu shook his head, patted his knees and stood up from the ground. His quick movements did not seem like those of an old man at all.

"Alex can't stop the Holy Lord...if he comes, it will only intensify the conflict."

"A genius with damaged mental power. Although he is a 3S, his mental power is only level 11 at the moment. His first contracted beast pet is a slime. This clearly means he is already more than one step behind."

As he said this, he put the mop in his hand on the steps, and said in a lighter but very firm tone, "If it were me, I would give her to Shengxu, and even find a way to actively push her over there."

There is more than one 3S-level genius. Zhongyong happens to have Xu Jinbai, who is already a three-star beastmaster before he is 20 years old. This kind of talent is really terrifying. And with his leading role, more and more young strong men will be proud to join the Zhongyong organization.

In contrast, although Shengxu also has several 3S-level strongmen, none of them are of the new generation. This leads to a very poor support rate for Shengxu... It has been firmly labeled as a villain.

"Those people in Zhongyong... must be crazy to do this!" Zhou Xuan raised Hong Xuebai's eyebrows.

Pushing such a talented young man to the enemy - what kind of fool would make such a decision? Haha, it turned out to be his good brother who grew up with him!

"Stop your conspiracy theories," he said. "It's impossible. Look at this girl. She would rather die than surrender. She would rather sign a contract with Slime than agree to join the Holy Ruins."

"What's the use of her being willing?" Fang Xu said angrily: "Alas, when can you devote half of your cleverness to research..."

"Anyway, the students are on summer vacation recently. For everyone's safety, we should find a way to send her out so that the Holy Lord won't go out shopping... Whenever I think that the old guy might be nearby, I'm going to have a heart attack."

"That's easy to say..."

"It's okay, my grandson is back..."

……

……

[…It’s okay, my grandson is back…]

[…Let him go and coax the little girl away from Liuheng…]

In the bathroom, Kitsuneya Nana was applying lipstick. It was the only makeup left for her by the original owner. It had expired, but only a thin layer had been used, and it looked like it had been used twice.

After all, she was just a little girl. Even though she decided to die at the age of fifteen, she still loved beauty in her heart.

[…This girl’s financial situation is not good…]

[…My parents entered the secret realm and never came out. They were presumed dead seven or eight years ago…]

Kitsune Shichi acted as if she heard nothing. She moved very slowly, facing the mirror that was covered in dirty water and had some cracks on the edges. She opened her mouth slightly and carefully traced the peak of her lips, then applied the paint bit by bit down along the curve.

The face in the mirror lived up to her expectations. It was more delicate than in her previous life, and more energetic than when she first came. Especially those eyes that glowed with a strange blue light...

[…And by the way, let’s see if she has awakened her special powers…]

Then the blue light in those eyes dimmed, and turned completely black before Kitsuneya Nana finished applying the lipstick.

——Gathering the dissipated energy is as easy as scratching your hair with your hands.

But separated by two or three walls, on the stone stairs near the exit of the stadium, the conversation between the two old men continued to flow into her mind.

[…Why not just ask her class teacher to give her a travel voucher? Why is there so much trouble…]

[…Alas, her homeroom teacher was a pet. His master died a long time ago. That guy only stayed until yesterday, but he ran away…]

"Click."

Kitsuneya Nana twisted the lipstick cap on.

The video of this afternoon's battle was recorded and will probably be passed on to those who are interested soon. The two men had also finished their conversation and seemed to be preparing to leave.

Forced into the vortex?

"It's quite interesting..."

So she looked at the mirror again with a smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth raised, just like countless times before, in a sunny and cheerful smile.

"...It turns out that he just disappeared into a secret realm, not necessarily dead."

She muttered to herself, looking at 'herself' in the mirror.

"Silly girl, maybe they are not dead at all, they just simply... don't want you."
