"What does 'sucker' mean?"
Chen Chang'an smiled and then said, "Nothing much. I just feel like these people are asking for death."
"Offending the Beast God—He won’t spare them."
"This is practically an uprising in Beast God Continent."
"Mhm, big brother, you’re absolutely right. They want to replace the Beast God Academy and become the true rulers of Beast God Continent."
In Beast God Continent, the Beast God was a deity who transcended all, holding an incomparably lofty status.
Beneath the Beast God stood the Beast Taming Academies, and among them, the Beast God Academy was the strongest representative.
The leader of the Beast Taming Alliance had almost always been the headmaster of the Beast God Academy.
In essence, the headmaster of the Beast God Academy was like the emperor of the entire Beast God Continent, wielding supreme authority and status, second only to the Beast God.
This move by the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies was less about "overthrowing" the Beast God Academy and more about seizing power—replacing it as the true ruler of Beast God Continent.
"Little Qiqi, do you know anything else?"
"When will the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies make their move? How do they plan to challenge the Beast God Academy?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
"Probably in about seven days."
"I heard from Grandpa that the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies, to gain the trust of others in Beast God Continent, didn’t choose extreme methods."
"Instead, they’re issuing a challenge."
"The Eight Great Beast Taming Academies will challenge the Beast God Academy. If the Beast God Academy loses, from then on, the alliance formed by the Eight Great Academies will replace it."
"The Beast God Academy will have to submit unconditionally, the headmaster will step down, and he’ll have to surrender his peak ninth-tier tamed beast."
A challenge?
That was indeed a relatively peaceful approach—at least it wouldn’t turn into a bloodbath.
But the headmaster of the Beast God Academy possessed a peak ninth-tier tamed beast. Were the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies really that confident?
"Little Qiqi, do you know how strong the headmaster’s cultivation is?"
"I mean, without his tamed beast, what’s his actual realm?" Chen Chang'an asked.
Realm?
Little Qiqi seemed to need a moment to think about that.
After pondering for a while, she finally said, "I’m not entirely sure. I’ve never been outside."
"But I think I’ve heard someone say that the headmaster’s strength is at the Great Emperor realm."
Great Emperor?
The headmaster had actually broken through to the Great Emperor realm?
No wonder his tamed beast was at peak ninth-tier. After all, a peak ninth-tier demonic beast’s combat power was equivalent to the Great Emperor realm—ordinary people couldn’t tame one.
"Are the headmasters of the other Eight Great Beast Taming Academies at the same level?"
"I don’t know, but their tamed beasts aren’t as strong as the headmaster’s."
Little Qiqi didn’t stay with Chen Chang'an for too long. After playing with Da Huang to her heart’s content, she skipped away happily.
"Damn."
"That girl’s finally gone. She was pulling my fur like crazy!"
"She’s young, but her grip is no joke."
"Still, the things she said were actually pretty useful."
"Chen Chang'an, you lucky bastard. Isn’t this the perfect opportunity?"
"Some real suckers are delivering themselves to our doorstep," Da Huang teased with a laugh.
"It’s not my luck—it’s your damn jinxing mouth."
"Pah! This mess started before I even got here. How the hell is it my fault?"
"Don’t pin this on me."
Chen Chang'an chuckled, also feeling curious about the sudden aggression from the Eight Great Beast Taming Alliance.
It was always said that Beast God Continent was highly united, with an almost fanatical reverence for the Beast God. No one dared to blaspheme Him.
Yet the actions of the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies were a direct challenge to the Beast God.
Were they really not afraid?
"What’s your plan?" Seeing Chen Chang'an deep in thought, Da Huang asked curiously.
"This time, we’ll have to lay low for a while."
"Unless absolutely necessary, we won’t make a move," Chen Chang'an said with a smile.
"Got it."
Da Huang grinned and nodded. In this situation, timing was everything.
If they acted too early, no one would feel particularly grateful—they’d just see it as a minor favor, not a lifesaving act.
After all, whether it was the people of the Beast God Academy or the citizens of Beast God Continent, none of them believed the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies stood a chance against the Beast God Academy.
But if a real crisis emerged and Chen Chang'an turned the tide, he’d be seen as a true savior.
The only uncertainty now was: Did the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies actually have the power to push the Beast God Academy to the brink?
For the next three days, Chen Chang'an idled around, and as expected, no one paid him any attention.
Da Huang, however, was kept busy—every day, he endured Little Qiqi’s "affectionate" petting, though he seemed to enjoy it in his own way.
"Little Qiqi, any new updates these past few days?"
Chen Chang'an watched as Little Qiqi reached out to torment Da Huang again and asked with a smile.
"Yep!"
"The people from the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies are already heading toward Beast God City."
"They’ll probably arrive in two or three days."
"Big brother, the Eight Great Academies will challenge the Beast God Academy right inside its grounds."
"It might get really dangerous. You just joined the academy not long ago—maybe you should leave," Little Qiqi said, looking at Chen Chang'an with concern.
"How could I do that?"
"Since I’ve joined the academy, I’m part of it now."
"If I run away when trouble comes, what kind of man would that make me?"
"Your big brother isn’t some coward," Chen Chang'an replied with a laugh.
"But… big brother, you’re not a beast tamer. Even if you stay, what good would it do?"
Not a beast tamer?
Since when was he not a beast tamer?
"Oh, but I am."
"Watch this."
"Da Huang, stand at attention!"
Thud!
The moment Chen Chang'an gave the command, Da Huang obediently stood up straight, posture impeccable, not moving a muscle.
"Da Huang, do a handstand!"
Huh?
A handstand?
Da Huang mentally cursed Chen Chang'an’s ancestors eight generations back, but he still cooperated, flipping upside down.
"Wow! So cool! The dog can do a handstand!"
"Da Huang, show us a special trick."
"Go on—eat shit!"
What the—?
Damn it!
Are you messing with me?!
Da Huang shot Chen Chang'an a murderous glare. You call this a trick? If you want to eat it, do it yourself.
"Big brother, why would Da Huang eat… that?"
"That stuff is… bleh, so gross," Little Qiqi asked innocently.
"He just—"
"Enough of your bullshit!"
"You’re the one who eats shit—ten pounds a day!"
Da Huang finally snapped, barely holding back from biting Chen Chang'an a few times.
Hearing Da Huang speak, Little Qiqi’s jaw dropped in shock.
The dog talked?
This dog… could actually talk?
"Woooow!"
"Da Huang, you’re amazing! You can talk?"
"You’re a talking dog?"
"Can dogs even become demonic beasts?" Little Qiqi stared at Da Huang, her expression a mix of delight and confusion.
"That’s not the important part."
"The important part is that I really am a beast tamer."
"Little Qiqi, how cool is your big brother?" Chen Chang'an asked with a grin.
"Hmm... I still think Da Huang is better at eating shit."
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.

Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
