"The Eight Great Beast Taming Academies are actually challenging the Beast God Academy?"
"What exactly are they trying to do? The Beast God Academy was the first beast taming academy established by the direct order of the Beast God. Are they daring to offend the Beast God Himself?"
"Absolutely despicable, these fools who don’t know their place."
"I heard they’re dissatisfied with the Beast God Academy’s rule of accepting outsiders. They want to challenge the dean, not defy the Beast God."
"That’s right. Rumor has it they believe the dean’s decision is the real blasphemy against the Beast God."
"But to be fair, the Beast God’s blessings are meant for the people of the Beast God Continent. Allowing outsiders into the Beast God Academy does seem inappropriate. I wonder what the dean was thinking back then."
As the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies arrived in Beast God City, news of their challenge spread like wildfire.
Many were furious at this development, though some believed their actions were justified.
After all, the admission of outsiders had sparked intense controversy from the beginning, and even now, some still harbored resentment.
"With just these people, they think they can challenge the Beast God Academy?"
"They’re… overestimating themselves, aren’t they?"
After the arrival of the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies, Chen Chang'an and Da Huang observed them carefully.
Their strength wasn’t exactly weak, but compared to the Beast God Academy, they seemed slightly inferior.
Chen Chang'an couldn’t understand where their confidence and courage came from.
How could they even think of challenging the Beast God Academy?
Never mind that the dean was at the Emperor Realm—even the academy’s peak ninth-tier magical beasts alone would be enough to give them a hard time.
"This situation doesn’t look good. These people probably won’t even shake the Beast God Academy’s standing."
"You might not get the chance to turn the tide after all," Da Huang said helplessly.
Noticing that Chen Chang'an was deep in thought and hadn’t responded, Da Huang grew curious.
"Seriously, are these people even worth thinking about for so long?"
"What’s on your mind?" Da Huang asked, puzzled.
"Something’s off."
"Da Huang, I think they have ulterior motives," Chen Chang'an said with a frown.
Ulterior motives?
Then what are they after? A brothel?
"Da Huang, I need you to do something for me."
"What is it?"
"With your sensory abilities, it shouldn’t take long to scan the entire Beast God Continent, right?" Chen Chang'an asked.
Scan the entire Beast God Continent?
That wouldn’t take too long—a day at most should be enough.
But why do that?
"You suspect the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies are being manipulated from behind?"
"That they’re colluding with outsiders, and their real target isn’t the Beast God Academy, but the Beast God Himself?"
Da Huang wasn’t stupid—it quickly grasped Chen Chang'an’s suspicion.
"I’ll go now and return as soon as possible."
"Good."
After Da Huang left, Chen Chang'an didn’t wait idly. Instead, he went straight to Little Qiqi’s grandfather.
"Big Brother, why are you here?" Little Qiqi asked curiously when she saw him.
"Little Qiqi, I’m looking for your grandfather. Is he around?"
"Yes, Grandpa’s here."
As they spoke, the old man emerged from the inner room. Seeing Chen Chang'an, he raised an eyebrow.
"I don’t have a dog here. What do you want?"
Huh?
What do you mean, "no dog"?
I’m not Little Qiqi—did you think I came here to pet a dog?
"I need to talk to you."
"I’m not letting you pet me!"
Excuse me?
What kind of nonsense is that?
You’re the one being inappropriate here, old man!
"This is serious."
"I want to ask—does the Beast God Academy have responsibilities beyond training beast tamers?"
"As far as I know, the Chosen Beast Tamers of the Beast God Continent all belong to the Beast God Academy, right?" Chen Chang'an asked.
The old man was taken aback. Why was this kid asking such questions?
"I’m just an ordinary old man at the Beast God Academy. How would I know these things?"
"Even if I did, why should I tell you?"
"What’s your purpose in asking?" the old man questioned suspiciously.
"Enough with the act."
"You? Ordinary? Then who isn’t ordinary?"
"Aren’t you the dean of the Beast God Academy?" Chen Chang'an cut straight to the point.
"Me? The dean?"
"Are you joking? Do I look like one?" the old man retorted irritably.
"Admittedly, you don’t—you’re a bit too shifty."
"But you are. No use denying it."
"I sensed your cultivation level the moment I met you in Beast God City."
"A cultivator at the Emperor Realm, residing in the Beast God Academy—if you’re not the dean, then who is?"
From the start, Chen Chang'an had noticed the old man’s extraordinary strength. And after hearing Little Qiqi mention that the dean was at the Emperor Realm, he was even more certain—this seemingly unremarkable elder was none other than the dean.
"Little Qiqi, did you blab again?" The old man looked at her with a resigned expression.
"I didn’t! I really didn’t say anything!" Little Qiqi protested innocently.
"She didn’t say a word. I’m just that sharp, that’s all."
"So, can you tell me now? Does the Beast God Academy have other duties?" Chen Chang'an pressed.
"Why do you want to know?"
"What’s your real purpose for joining the Beast God Academy?"
"If you can see through my cultivation, you’re no ordinary person either."
"Yet you’ve done nothing these past few days. What are you after?"
"Did you come here just to meet the Beast God?" the dean asked.
"My only purpose here is to ask the Beast God something in person. That’s all."
"That’s impossible. The Beast God won’t meet you. Even I haven’t been summoned by Him in years."
What?
The Beast God doesn’t even see the dean anymore?
Then becoming the dean wouldn’t help me either.
"The Beast God Academy has had multiple deans before, hasn’t it?"
"Where are they now?"
"I didn’t sense any other powerful figures in the academy," Chen Chang'an said.
"Since its founding, the Beast God Academy has only had three deans. The first two are indeed no longer here."
"What exactly are you getting at?" the dean asked, frowning.
"I suspect the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies are just a distraction to keep the Beast God Academy occupied."
"They’re being manipulated. There must be a larger scheme behind this—possibly targeting the Beast God Himself."
Hearing this, the dean was stunned.
Had the Eight Great Beast Taming Academies betrayed the Beast God?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Even if the eight deans had turned traitor, how could all their beast tamers have done the same?
"There’s no way that’s true!"
"They wouldn't dare, nor would they ever betray us!" the Dean said gravely.
"You... stubborn old fool!"
"If you don't believe me, then wait and see. Whether my words are true or false, the answer will reveal itself soon enough."
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

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. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. 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. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream.
