Chapter 213 — Yin Huan's Challenge

"If you want new facilities, win first place at the National Tournament, and Ancient Capital University can upgrade every year too."

She said, "If it were Teacher He, she'd definitely say the same thing. You all know our Ancient Capital University is poorer than Imperial Capital University—if you want good facilities, you can only fight for them yourselves."

Everyone's eyes watered. Too real.

Though, truth be told, even if they were given the same school resources, they had no confidence in beating Imperial Capital University's students.

Equal school resources meant nothing if their talent and family background couldn't match the others'—it'd all be for nothing.

"Alas~" Everyone let out a long sigh. Just as the Ancient Capital University group was about to register their study visit at the gate, Bai Xi's phone rang.

Seeing the caller, Bai Xi picked up curiously.

"How's it going on your end?" she asked.

"All done. Where are you? I'll come find you," Shi Jin asked from the other end.

He also wanted to visit the training facilities—and even hoped to copy a time-attribute skill while he was at it. Just in case the Ginseng Baby, after evolving with the Soil of Time, had a chance to learn it.

Bai Xi: "..."

That fast?

Wasn't the breeding convention supposed to last two days?

"We're at the south gate, haven't gone in yet..."

"Wait for me," Shi Jin said.

After Shi Jin finished speaking, both hung up. Bai Xi looked at the many club members and shrugged. "Let's register first, then wait for Shi Jin at the gate. He'll be here soon."

"Oh oh oh~~?" Everyone was startled. That little monster Shi Jin was coming too?

They had all watched Shi Jin versus Fu Andi, and after being brainwashed by Bai Xi for so long, they were now quite looking forward to this freshman sweeping through Imperial Capital University.

Bai Xi smiled, and the group continued toward Imperial Capital University's registration office. But just then, on the campus, a boy of about twelve or thirteen was walking toward them.

Yin Huan, who was just about to head out for a meal, froze at the sight of the group.

His gaze met Bai Xi's.

Yin Huan had visited Ancient Capital University before, so he naturally recognized the president of its Battle Club.

And the members of Ancient Capital University's Battle Club likewise recognized the genius son of Legend Yin.

"Yin Huan?" Bai Xi was slightly surprised to see the boy.

"Senior Bai Xi..." After a brief start, Yin Huan quickly greeted her politely. The exchange battle wasn't for another two days—he hadn't expected Ancient Capital University to arrive already.

But soon, his gaze swept over the Ancient Capital University group.

When he scanned face after face and did not find Shi Jin among them, his expression shifted slightly.

"Um, Senior Bai Xi, didn't Shi Jin join the Battle Society? Or is it that he didn't come this time..."

Yin Huan figured that someone as strong as Shi Jin would have no reason to give up on battling, even if he had chosen a different major.

Combat strength was the very foundation of a Beast Tamer, and the Battle Society, the university team, the National Tournament—those were absolutely the best places to train a university-age Beast Tamer.

"You mean Shi Jin?" Bai Xi said.

"He's here too, but he won't arrive for a while yet."

"Really?" Yin Huan's eyes lit up sharply, and countless battle intentions surged within him. Shi Jin surely had no idea how enormous his progress had been during this time.

Instantly, Yin Huan was no longer hungry. He decided to wait right here for Shi Jin.

"Excuse me, may I wait here with you for him? I want to have a Beast Taming battle with Shi Jin!" As a provisional member of the Battle Society, he would only be a spectator at the exchange event two days from now, so it made no difference to him whether he waited until that day. If possible, he wanted to battle Shi Jin right now.

"Uh." The moment young Yin Huan finished speaking, the expressions of the many Ancient Capital University students turned strange.

There had long been rumors that the son of Legend Yin... had lost to Shi Jin in the professional assessment, finishing only as runner-up, and had therefore come alone to study at the Imperial Capital University.

Sure enough, the rumors were true.

It was just that... why did it always feel like this was an inspiring yet sorrowful story?
