"I thought someone would come up to challenge you, but I didn't expect your Ancestor Blood Dragon to subdue everyone. As expected of your dragon, it is very powerful, " Qin Miao said with a smile.
"It should be because the strong people in the gymnasium have yet to come, or else it definitely wouldn't be easy to get through like this." Su Bai was not arrogant enough to think that he was invincible in the world.
This was one of the top ten pinnacle gyms with countless masters inside. There were definitely big shots with emperor pets in the younger generation.
"You're right, but you're only seventeen years old; you're impressive enough. It's hard to imagine that a young man without a backing could grow to this level.
"As for some people in the gymnasium, take your time to win them over. The curator's period of contention is very long, and the current curator's term still has several years to go. We're in no hurry. What you have to make sure of is to win the support of more disciples and compete with the Giant Dragon Division for the position of the core disciple.
"The chief disciple of the gymnasium is completely different from the chief disciple of a division, but in terms of status, it is equivalent to the dean of the two divisions and can mobilize a lot of resources.
"According to the rules, the next curator must be a core disciple of the gym. This is your goal here." Qin Miao spoke at length with a smile. The reason why she had rushed all the way so anxiously was that she wanted to catch the curator and the others by surprise, or else it would be really troublesome if they had already set something up.
"Okay, I understand." Su Bai nodded. Since he was now part of Yulong Gymnasium, he would do his best to become the next curator.
"You don't have to think about those things now. We have to meet one of our masters first so that we can arrange a place for you. Eventually, the disciples of our gymnasium will be summoned to explain your status as a chief disciple. At the same time, we have to accept some unavoidable challenges.
"Right now, the curator and the others should've recovered from their shock. They'll definitely instruct their disciples to challenge you, so you fighting others will definitely be unavoidable, " Qin Miao waved her hand and said.
"This means that I won't need to meet God Dragon Division's dean and the seniors, right?" he asked curiously.
"You've already met them here today; what else is there to see?
"As for those seniors who went out to guard space cracks, you won't be able to see them for the time being. You can just meet those seniors who have similar strength to you." Qin Miao breathed out a smoke ring and said.
Su Bai was startled by these words and looked at this blonde woman with his eyes wide open."Are Senior Qin and Chen San perhaps the dean and deputy dean of God Dragon Division?"
Although he had asked Zhou Ling'an and Third Sister Li Xue to investigate both of them, no one really told him about this. Did they think that he already knew their identities?
He was speechless.
"Didn't you know?" Qin Miao looked at him in amazement."I'm the useless dean of God Dragon Division, and Chen San is the vice dean. The two who died before were also vice deans."
"Hello, dean. I really didn't know." He hurriedly saluted, feeling a little scared. Fortunately, he had been very well-behaved along the way. He had neither put on big airs nor done anything to court disaster.
D*mn. He really should thank Ice Phoenix. Since when was it so alert?
Perhaps it had discovered Qin Miao's strength a long time ago.
As the dean of the God Dragon Division, she was definitely a Pet Tamer of the heavenly king grade and at least had two or three or even more sovereign pets.
He would have absolutely no power to fight back in front of a heavenly king Pet Tamer. Su Bai cheered inwardly.
Fortunately, he had not provoked this Pet Tamer who could pinch him to death with a single move.
Wait, he seemed to have hung up her phone call aggressively before?
He suddenly felt a little panicky.
"Are you thinking about whether you've offended me in the past or not?"
Qin Miao glanced at him and waved her hand."Then let me tell you: I wasn't offended by you. You don't have to worry about it. Next time, just remember not to hang up my phone first."
"... Yes, dean." He nodded immediately.
However, her answer really relieved the tension in his heart.
"Go inside with me in a bit and you can just salute your headmaster, " Qin Miao said when they were outside the forest garden.
"Okay." He glanced at this manor called Bailing Garden.
Walking inside the manor, he saw the so-called headmaster in a pavilion next to a pond.
When he saw the headmaster, he almost blurted out: "Is this really the headmaster?"
Seated in a swing chair by the pavilion was a woman dressed in a black-and-white sailor suit, stockings, and small leather shoes.
Judging by her face, she looked of a similar age to Qin Miao or maybe even younger because of the sailor suit.
While chewing on melon seeds, she was playing with an amber-eyed tabby cat. A tablet sat on the table, and although it was paused, the screen showed a TV series that was currently on air.
Su Bai recognized it as the show Chen Ruoxue was watching.
Although he did not imagine the so-called headmaster as an old man with a white beard, he thought the headmaster would at least be an uncle or a woman in her thirties or forties.
If it was a man, he should be wearing a Chinese tunic suit, exuding calmness and rigidity; if it was a woman, she should be wearing a cheongsam, with an elegant and noble demeanor, looking full of wisdom.
However, this headmaster's style was really astonishing. It was hard to believe that she was already over one hundred years old.
It seemed like this was the correct way to be a headmaster, though?
"Master, this is Su Bai, the owner of the Ancestor Blood Dragon I told you about yesterday. He's the core disciple of our God Dragon Division, " Qin Miao pointed to him casually and said.
"Hello, headmaster." He hurriedly bowed and saluted.
The young headmaster looked at him, and the pupil of the tabby cat on her desk shimmered.
He felt like all his secrets had been spied on.
"You really picked up a treasure this time. This kid is amazing, " said the female headmaster while eating melon seeds.
"A treasure? You mean his Ancestor Blood Dragon?" Qin Miao asked doubtfully.
"No, no, no. This kid hides too deeply. His contract book mutated; it's now the rare Contract Book of Life. It's not a simple thing at all. Still, that's nothing compared with the divine skill he now possesses." The headmaster shook her head and smiled."That should be the Blood Moon divine skill, which has caused a big hoo-hah recently."
"Blood Moon divine skill?" Qin Miao was startled. Her eyes widened, shocked by the unimaginable possibility.
Su Bai was actually the owner of the Blood Moon divine skill? How had he accomplished this?
How had he easily survived the test of the Blood Moon world?
"It's because of the Ancestor Blood Dragon, right?" asked the headmaster.
"Yes." Su Bai nodded silently and glanced at the tabby cat calmly. Was it this cat that saw all his secrets?
On his shoulder, Purple Jade also stared at the tabby cat quietly, but its claws were trembling a little.
As for Ice Phoenix, it was still at the gate of the manor in the distance. It ran out after it came in halfway through.
"Very good; I'm optimistic about you becoming the new curator. If there are no accidents, your future will be boundless—of course, the condition is that you have no accidents.
"Let me give you a gift for our first meeting." The young headmaster took out a piece of green jade and threw it to him.
"Thank you, headmaster." He received the jade and quickly thanked her.
He recognized this stone as soon as he got it in his hand. It was a gem containing the Law of Life. Indeed, the headmaster was deserving of her reputation and was extremely generous.
"I won't disclose the secret about your Blood Moon divine skill, and neither will Qin Miao, so don't worry about it, " said the headmaster once again.
"Yes, I understand." Su Bai nodded immediately.
"Okay, you can go out and wait for me; I'll join you in a bit, " Qin Miao glanced at him and said.
"Okay, dean." As if a huge weight had been lifted off his mind, he quickly slipped away.
"Howl!" That cat is so scary! I don't know what level of existence it is at all!
After leaving the garden, the cub dared to speak through its spiritual voice.
"That cat is an immortal existence, the ultimate body on the path of evolution, " he replied through his spiritual transmission. That cat's data was too scary.
There was no way to comprehend the horrors of an undead level if it had not been reached yet.
This headmaster should be the legendary epic grade Pet Tamer, which was countless times stronger than the heavenly king level.
"Quack..." Ah Bai, can't we leave yet? This is the scariest place I've ever been to...
Ice Phoenix shrank under his feet and quacked.
"No, you have to wait a while more." He shook his head.
After a long time, Qin Miao came over. She took a deep look at him, then smiled, and said, "Don't worry; I won't tell a second person about this.
"Let's go out. I'll instruct someone to arrange a place for you, along with the other things that a chief disciple of one of this gym's divisions should have."
"Okay." He nodded and followed her out.
After going out, she asked the logistics department manager, who was in charge of food, clothing, housing, and transportation for disciples, to arrange a house for Su Bai.
"You can get acquainted with the situation in the gymnasium first and communicate with the other disciples. I'll let someone inform everyone of the meeting held at three o'clock in the afternoon to announce your identity, " Qin Miao said.
"Okay." Su Bai nodded and followed the logistics department's male manager.
"Hello, Senior brother, my name is Xia Ang. You can find me if you need anything in the future."
After Qin Miao left, Xia Ang reached out his hand for a handshake.
"Hello, thank you." Su Bai shook hands with him and did not refuse the title of 'senior brother'.
Just like how the status within a company was based on position, the status within the gym was based on strength.
Although Xia Ang was older than him, from the perspective of his career as a civil servant, his strength might just be an elite Pet Tamer.
"Senior brother, you don't have to be polite. This is what I should do, " Xia Ang quickly waved his hand and said.
After the polite remarks, he started talking business.
"Erm... Senior Brother Su, because it's too sudden, the decoration hasn't been changed yet, though we did finish moving all of our former senior sister's stuff away from the house. Please live there first. I'll let someone redecorate the house according to your style."
"It's alright. I won't live here often. Anything will do." Su Bai waved his hand.
Although the disciples of the gymnasium were all concentrated in one place, they all had single apartments with complete facilities. Each house was more than eighty square meters, with complete facilities and exquisite decorations.
The core disciple's apartment was bigger than the others. It was a full 150 square meters, and he had to be led inside by Xia Ang.
The apartment was on the ninth floor; the top ten floors had always been empty.
What greeted him first was the big living room and the large floor-to-ceiling windows. The whole decoration was modern and simple.
This originally belonged to the former core disciple, but now it belonged to him. Except for some of the furniture that had been moved in the room, it was not possible to see how many people had lived here.
"This is fine. Just help me add some other furniture and arrange everything neatly, " Su Bai looked around and said.
"Okay, apart from this apartment, Senior brother also has an exclusive spiritual field with a number of 3129. You can enter the spiritual garden through a spatial door.
"The spiritual plants in the gymnasium are all in the spiritual garden. Senior brother, you have completed the registration, so you can enter with your Pet Tamer certificate, " Xia Ang added.
"Okay, thank you." Xia Ang gave him more information about the gymnasium, asked him about the size of his clothes and shoes, and then left.
Su Bai sat on the sofa and turned to look outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The entire gymnasium seemed to be endless. As one of the top ten peak gymnasiums, Yulong's pavilion had been developed for more than one hundred years and covered an area of over 100, 000 acres. The various internal facilities were also very complete.
Of course, these 100, 000 acres did not include some small worlds, or else it would be even bigger.
The entire gymnasium was shrouded in a giant, dome-like shield, and there was no way to snoop in from the outside.
It was also because the gymnasium was too big that it seemed a little less crowded.
In fact, there were many disciples. Just the headquarters alone housed tens of thousands of disciples, not to mention the countless disciples in other branches.
"Quack." It's not bad here; it's quite safe.
Ice Phoenix patrolled around and nodded in satisfaction.
"Howl?" Ah Bai, once you're the curator, will all these be ours? the cub asked, tilting its head.
"If no accident occurs, it should be so." He nodded.
Okay, then. We have to work hard for you to become the curator. The cub's eyes lit up.
"Yes, work hard."
Su Bai sighed. This matter still had a long way to go.
He summoned his contract book, then raised his hand, and placed the jade containing the Law of Life given by the headmaster on it.
The jade formed a chemical reaction as the Law of Life flowed into the contract book. The contract book emitted a dazzling white light, changing from gold to diamond, making it look like a contract book carved out of diamonds.
On the surface of the book, apart from a crystal five-pointed star, there were some mysterious patterns that could not be discerned.
His contract book had officially been promoted to diamond one star.
Everything did not end here, however.
His sea of spirit also underwent unprecedented drastic changes.
All the sea of spirit condensed quickly and finally turned into a golden star, which exuded the breath of life. Six stars of different colors and sizes orbiting around the golden star.
Su Bai understood that the six stars represented Purple Jade and the other five pets.
His sea of spirit looked like a miniature galaxy for a while before disappearing, leaving only the blood-colored shield, which still protected his sea of spirit.
That was the bond skill of him and his pet dragon, Dragon Soul.
It could protect his sea of spirit.
This heavy change on the sea of spirit was called the change of the starry sky. It seemed to be a manifestation of the accumulation of mental power, which was conducive to improving the wisdom and thinking speed of the summoner; it also promoted the Pet Tamer to some extent.
As far as he knew, it had no effect on the summoners themselves. The only difference seemed to be that those who had completed the transformation of the starry sky generally lived longer.
He naturally hoped that he could live longer and was, thus, elated about this change.
"Roar!" Ah Bai, has your contract book been promoted? The pet space has become so big! Little Tyrant's spiritual voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
At this moment, he saw the dino rolling around in its contract space. The size was hundreds of times the size of its complete body.
When he moved his mind to connect with Purple Jade, he saw a completely different world. The senses of pets were a thousand times stronger than his, and the world they perceived was also very different.
That was right. He could actually share senses with his pets, which was also a function of the diamond contract book.
Huh? Are you sharing my senses? The cub turned its head and asked him.
Su Bai saw his face with the cub's senses. Even in its vision, he still had a handsome face.
"What now?" He tried to share his senses with the cub again.
"Howl?" Ah Bai, is this the world you perceive? Is this a 2G network? the cub widened its eyes and complained.
To it, his eyesight and hearing were practically blind and deaf.
Su Bai: "..."
It's okay. I'll let you use my senses in the future.
Feeling like this was too heart-wrenching, the cub jumped over and patted his hand reassuringly.
"You're right. Compared with your vision, mine is worse than a 2G network, " he said.
His current body, which had received the backfeeding of his pets multiple times, could be considered superman. However, compared with Purple Jade, it was almost the gap between an abacus and a computer.
He did not feel inferior, however. Tigers and lions in nature were stronger than humans, but were they not still ruled over by humans?
With the sense sharing function, it would be much more convenient in the future.
"The pet space has also grown. Would you like to go in and try it?" he asked.
"Howl!" Yes! The cub raised its paws.
"Quack." I want to see it, too.
Ice Phoenix raised its wings as well.
Nodding, Su Bai put them in and then released the dino.
Coming to the gymnasium this time had given him such a big gain. The headmaster really was generous.
Sure enough, it was best to follow heavy-laden wagons. The big shots throwing a little something out made him be full of gains.
"Roar?" This is Yulong Gymnasium? The dino looked around and asked in confusion.
"Yes." Su Bai nodded. He then got up to take some pictures of the room, preparing to show them to Chen Ruoxue tonight.
It was a pity that it would take a few days for the furniture to be ready, or else he would like to bring her over to stay for the night.
Not long after, he released Purple Jade and the others again.
After resting for a while, he got up and said, "Let's go eat."
Having busied himself all morning, it was now past 12 p. m.
