Beast Taming Patrol

"Stop right there!"

In the line, Lin Su, who followed a freshman ahead toward the cabin door of the floating transfer vehicle, was stopped by a man in a special combat uniform amidst the curious stares of countless other freshmen.

"What's the matter?" Lin Su feigned composure, looking utterly nonchalant.

"You're asking me what's the matter?" The man in the combat uniform was almost amused by Lin Su, pointing at the bright silver spear that Lin Su held in one hand behind his back, "Cut the fancy stuff, don't bring this along!"

"I can't do that," Lin Su shook his head without hesitation, "This is my weapon; it might save my life in a critical moment."

Hearing this, the expressions of the other freshmen who looked over grew even stranger.

They were all participants of the practical assessment and naturally recognized Lin Su.

However, their peculiar expressions, at this moment, had nothing to do with Lin Su's identity but were due to the spear in Lin Su's hand that shimmered with a bright, cold gleam in the sunlight.

All of us came to join the cooperative training camp, so why do you have to show off?

Not allowed to bring firearms, so you bring cold weapons?!

We are Beast Tamers, hello?!

"Weapon?" The man in the combat uniform was truly amused now, "Okay! Then give me a demonstration? If you're really good, I'll let you bring it!"

"You have my word." Lin Su nodded and suddenly stabbed with his spear.

The sharp tip of the spear, flashing with a cold light, froze an inch away from the man's chest before he could react, and it seemed a faint force was transmitted through the spear tip, causing his chest to feel slightly stifled.

"You..." the man opened his mouth.

Facing the flashing spear tip, he quickly took a step back, creating some distance.

This kid really knows his spearmanship?

"Can I proceed now?" Lin Su's expression remained calm.

"Good lad!" The man finally came back to his senses, his face turning dark as a pot's bottom, glaring fiercely at Lin Su, "Get in!"

"Okay." Lin Su placed his long spear behind him and walked into the floating transfer vehicle.

The man adjusted his breathing before looking toward the line of newcomers.

"Next!"

Soon, all the freshmen assigned to this floating transfer vehicle entered, and the man adjusted his combat uniform, preparing to follow them inside when someone patted his shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw another man in a combat uniform beside him, his expression slightly darkened, "Liu Zhi, why aren't you managing your group of people instead of coming here?"

"Hey! That young man just scared you, a Master-level Beast Tamer, away with a cold weapon; I saw it all," Liu Zhi shook his communicator mockingly, "I even took a photo; what do you say about this, Li Hong?"

"I'll be damned..." Li Hong's face darkened; he clenched a fist as if to punch, but seeing the other dodge, he slowly lowered his hand and then snorted irritably, "Delete it. Next beast hunt, you owe us 500 contribution points!"

"Fair enough." Liu Zhi, knowing when to quit while ahead, chuckled and promptly deleted it, then gestured provocatively towards the inside of the floating transfer vehicle, "Looks like you've got a troublemaker on this vehicle, huh?"

"He's a hassle with no skills." Li Hong rolled his eyes, "He doesn't even know what the preparatory camp is for. He'll cry once he gets there. Besides taking up space and causing trouble, he's got no other merits!"

"Cold weapons aren't okay?" Liu Zhi chuckled again, "You'd only say this in front of me. Would you dare say that in front of old Xing?"

"Get lost!" Li Hong couldn't help but roll his eyes. "What's he holding if it's not a cold weapon? Can a beast-type weapon even count as a cold weapon?"

"I wouldn't know that, but he said he would teach these young ones pole techniques, and he meant it," Liu Zhi spread his hands and chuckled.

"Misleading the youth." Li Hong rolled his eyes again, "If it weren't for the decent physical training effects of his pole techniques, I wouldn't agree."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Liu Zhi shook his head, "Are you sure it's not because he beat you up so bad that you had to agree?"

"You bastard..." Li Hong's face darkened again, he threw another punch, but his comrade had already dashed away.

"Phew!" He spat, turning to walk inside the vehicle.

...

Ignoring the glances from the other freshmen inside, Lin Su, holding his spear, found his seat and sat down, his brow tightly furrowed.

Still too weak.

He had already mastered the spear techniques, but in terms of strength, he was only at the level of an ordinary person in the Blue Star, a hundred times weaker than the Body Refining Realm. Thus, the strength he could exert was limited, insignificant compared to the power of a beast.

To really exhibit his power, he would have to advance his body to the Body Refining Realm in this world.

He hesitated whether to do so or not.

First, he would figure out the rules of the cooperative preparatory camp.

As he silently pondered, the sounds of footsteps came from the door, and as the floating transfer vehicle's door slowly closed, the man who had stopped Lin Su walked in.

The floating transfer vehicle slightly vibrated and began to slowly rise in altitude.

As the man appeared, the students inside the vehicle fell silent.

The man's gaze swept over the faces of the new students, finally fixing on Lin Su and glaring fiercely at him before he spoke loudly.

"First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Hong, and I'm one of your instructors. You'll see me every day during your time in the cooperative preparatory camp!"

"Excuse me..." a hand suddenly shot up.
