"Uh... Dongfang, because our academy has limited funds, and mainly because we believe in your strength as a Grand Spirit Master, the monsters in the Beast-Seeking Mountain Range are definitely no match for you..."

Dongfang Mian remained silent, only watching Dong Ren speak, creating an awkward and strange atmosphere.

“Hey, Dean, after all this talk, why don’t we hurry up and teach our junior sister how to tame beasts and how to form contracts with them?” At this moment, an unknown senior brother of Dongfang Mian stepped forward.

Dong Ren gave him a look that said, "I admire you," and then quickly called several elders to give Dongfang Mian a comprehensive, six-on-one tutoring session.

Three hours later, Dongfang Mian, who was dizzy and exhausted from the class, finally finished learning all the knowledge about beast tamers, as Dong Ren had said. How far she could go on the path of beast taming would depend on what level of monster she could tame.

The rank badges for beast tamers are different from those for alchemists. They are not upgraded through step-by-step assessments. For example, if you tame a high-level demon beast and sign a contract with it on your first try, you will directly become a high-level beast tamer. If you have the ability to tame a master-level demon beast, you will become a master-level beast tamer.

The reason why the Qingmu Beast Academy is dilapidated is partly because the monsters there are quite destructive, and partly because the people in the academy often live in the deep mountains and forests for years on end in order to tame a monster, so naturally no one has the mind to maintain it.

It was also because of the arrival of the new student, Dongfang Mian, that the talents of Qingmu Beast Academy were briefly gathered together.

When she returned to her room, Dongfang Mian's new roommate, Luo Xiaoyu, had not yet come back. She wondered if Luoshui Hospital would be any better than Qingmu Beast Academy.

Before going to bed, Dongfang Mian spent some time carefully organizing the knowledge about animal taming in her mind, planning to set off for the Beast-Seeking Mountain Range early the next morning.

The next morning, Dongfang Mian boarded the teleportation array in the academy that led to the Beast-Seeking Mountain Range.

The teleportation array took them to the foot of the Beast-Seeking Mountain Range. Dongfang Mian looked at the towering Beast-Seeking Mountain Range and thought about the stinking wolf beasts running all over the mountains and fields, and couldn't help but shudder.

"Please, God, grant me a clean pet..." Dongfang Mian prayed for a while before stepping into the Beast-Seeking Mountain Range.

After walking for half a day, Dongfang Mian didn't even see a rabbit, let alone wolves.

Are there really that few monsters on the Vermilion Bird Continent?

Dongfang Mian thought to herself that she shouldn't look down on wolf beasts.

Exhausted, Dongfang Mian plopped down on the ground and gulped down a lot of water. After resting for a while, she prepared to continue walking deeper into the area.

Meow~

A soft, cute meow rang out, and Dongfang Mian turned around to find that a fluffy, chubby orange cat had appeared beside her without her noticing.

"Wow, so cute~", Dongfang Mian reached out and stroked the big orange cat's head. "What an adorable big orange cat! Kitty, what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wolves?"

Upon hearing this, the orange cat swatted away Dongfang Mian's hand that was touching it, then lazily walked to a large rock nearby, stretched its neck, and...

"Hey, you woman, show some respect! I'm not some orange tabby cat. I am the only divine beast in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger, meow~"

"Wow, the cat can actually talk!" Dongfang Mian exclaimed in surprise.

"I've already told you I'm not some little kitten, I'm a divine beast, a Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger, meow~"
