Unserious Beast Tamer

Should I let the Shadow Chaser Lizard try?

The examiner’s words kept echoing in Zhou Hao’s mind.

He slightly pursed his lips, his face showing a touch of hesitation.

Ten days ago, he had disregarded the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s pleadings and sent it to the Foster Shop.

The only thing that could be considered compensation was probably his choice of the most expensive shop after comparing several.

But Zhou Hao also understood that the Shadow Chaser Lizard would not forgive him for this.

If he summoned that stubborn creature now, would it really still be willing to fight for him?

And…

For the past ten days, could the deeply distressed Shadow Chaser Lizard really still maintain its previous fighting state?

Many thoughts surfaced in Zhou Hao’s mind. For the first time, he sincerely regretted the choice he had made. Amidst a myriad of dilemmas, Zhou Hao tentatively sent a message to the other silent end of the Beast Taming Contract.

“Are you still willing to fight for me?”

“Meow-” (Wake up quickly!)

Although Ziyun really wanted Xu Ran to continue his meditation, sensing the anomaly, he knew he had to wake Xu Ran up.

“What’s the matter?” Xu Ran slowly opened his eyes, still immersed in the joy of his previous hundred-speed meditation, not yet fully conscious.

“Meow-” (There’s an incident in the Foster Area!)

Ziyun raised his paw and pointed at the constantly flashing Control hub. When an anomaly occurred in the foster area, the control hub would flash and issue a warning.

“Hmm? Is there a problem with the Shadow Chaser Lizard?” Seeing the object of the warning, Xu Ran’s brow immediately furrowed.

After Xu Ran successfully encouraged the Shadow Chaser Lizard, it had turned its sorrow into strength, continuously undergoing even tougher training than before.

Upon hearing its story, even the Armored Rhinoceros forgave its impulsiveness back then. The newly arrived Stone Armored Dragon was also willing to contribute its strength.

Two elite level pet beasts that were stronger than the Shadow Chaser Lizard had become its sparring partners. They fought every day in the training area, and even Ziyun often went to observe and study.

Apart from needing to manually repair the environment every day, everything was going well. The pleasure value provided by the Shadow Chaser Lizard was as much as the other two foster care residents.

And now there’s a problem again?

This is unacceptable!

“Let’s go down and take a look!” Xu Ran immediately made a decision, carrying Ziyun towards the back door, and soon arrived at the foster area.

However, the situation before his eyes left him somewhat confused.

The Shadow Chaser Lizard didn’t show the slightest sign of depression. On the contrary, it seemed a little too excited.

As a Pet Beast of the Dark Attribute, it was actually running frantically under the direct rays of the artificial light source?

“Shadow Chaser Lizard, what’s going on with you?” Xu Ran stopped it and began to inquire curiously.

“Click!” (My chance has come!)

A chance? What the hell?

Xu Ran frowned, about to continue asking, when suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed across his mind.

He remembered the pep talk he had given to the Shadow Chaser Lizard at that time.

“You have to grow quietly, then wait for an opportunity to stun everyone.”

Could the Shadow Chaser Lizard be referring to this?

If so, this means…

“Is your Beast Master summoning you?”

“Click!” (Yes!)

The Shadow Chaser Lizard nodded its head vehemently, its eyes filled with excitement.

Just now, its Beast Master had asked it through the Beast Taming Contract whether it was willing to go into battle.

It had agreed without hesitation. After a little preparation, it would then be transmitted away.

The Beast Master still needed it!

This time, it would definitely do better!

“Congratulations, you have another chance to prove yourself.” Xu Ran patted the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s head, his eyes filled with an encouraging expression.

The progress of the Shadow Chaser Lizard had been evident over the past week.

Although it wasn’t his own Pet Beast, Xu Ran still increased its food intake to replenish the energy it expended in training.

At this moment, it was clearly stronger than it was a week ago.

The Chaser Lizard looked at the two big fellows who had trained with it over the week, nodding gratefully.

It will never forget the help of these two neighbors!

The Hexagram Star Array lights up behind the Shadow Chaser Lizard. The call to battle, which it hasn’t heard in a while, ignites a burning sense of combat in its black eyes.

The next moment, its figure disappeared on the spot.

“Roar-”

“Aoow~”

The Armored Rhinoceros and the Stone Armored Dragon roared with a hint of reluctance.

“Don’t worry, the Shadow Chaser Lizard will be back.” Xu Ran smiled.

The Beast Master of the Shadow Chaser Lizard has paid a month’s fosterage fee in advance, which hasn’t ended yet. Either they will come to get a refund or they will send the Shadow Chaser Lizard back here again.

Of course, he hopes it’s the former.

Come on, Shadow Chaser Lizard!

With a cheer for the Shadow Chaser Lizard in his heart, Xu Ran left the foster area with Ziyun.

Within the Hexagram Star Array, a dark figure emerged from the wild wind.

“Hisss!”

The Variegated Dragon Sparrow, which had largely recovered from its injuries, saw this familiar figure and immediately showed an expression of disdain in its eyes.

What’s the use of letting this guy, who even it couldn’t beat, to come and fight?

It turned its head to look at its Beast Master.

Let’s fight! Only after the battle will you know that the only one you can rely on is me!

“Shadow Chaser Lizard, you…” Zhou Hao pointed to the opponent ahead, intending to clarify the situation to the Shadow Chaser Lizard. However, his words were cut short when he noticed the striking change in the lizard’s stature.

What’s going on?

The Shadow Chaser Lizard had been in foster care for ten days. Why had it changed so much?

No matter, let’s put that aside for now.

“Your opponent is the Scarlet Ape, an elite-level Fighting Attribute Pet Beast.” Zhou Hao quickly gave a rundown of their opponent. “It has four two-star skills, three of which are innate, while one is acquired.”

“What you need to pay special attention to is its two-star skill ‘Berserk’. It suddenly breaks out at critical moments. That’s how the Variegated Dragon Sparrow was defeated.” Zhou Hao rapidly analyzed the situation. “Leave the rest to me to command.”

“Click!”

The Shadow Chaser Lizard gave Zhou Hao a firm look, fixing its gaze on the imposing giant ape draped in a coat of scarlet hair, obscuring a muscular frame teeming with power.

The intimidating aura the ape gave off was no less powerful than the Armored Rhinoceros and the Stone Armored Dragon that had trained with it!

But, it must win this battle!

The words Xu Ran spoke before flashed in its mind.

Now, it’s time to stun everyone!

“Your pet beast has a lot of fighting spirit!”

The examiner laughed, then his face gradually turned serious.

“Combat Master Zhou Hao, this is your last chance. If you fail again, you’ll have to wait until next year to reapply for the promotion.”

“So, are you ready?”

“I’m ready!” Zhou Hao shouted, although his heart was still pounding.

It seems that the Shadow Chaser Lizard hasn’t wasted its time in fosterage but has been training hard. However, can it really defeat a foe that the Variegated Dragon Sparrow failed to defeat?

“Since you’re ready, let’s begin!” The examiner nodded slightly. The next moment, the Scarlet Ape that stood before him stepped heavily onto the Battle Stand.

The hard Battle Stand was left with a shallow pit under the powerful force of the Scarlet Ape. Covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, it shot towards the Shadow Chaser Lizard!
