At that moment, a fierce wind swept across the battlefield's perimeter, instantly drawing everyone's attention. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and their nerves tensed as they instinctively gripped the weapons beside them.

"Shit, could it be more Nether Cats?"

"What the hell is the frontline doing? How could they let so many Nether Cats get to the rear?!"

"Motherfucker, when I get back, I'm definitely going to report those useless bastards at the frontline to the military court!"

As the wind dissipated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing it wasn't Nether Cats.

The newcomer was Wenyuan.

Seeing the battlefield in disarray, Wenyuan felt a heavy weight in his heart. Just a glance at the scattered limbs and remains was enough to tell him how fierce the battle had been.

He silently prayed, trembling inside: Little ancestor, please be safe!

When Wenyuan saw Lin Yanran unharmed, he quickly went over to check on her.

"Girl, it's such a relief you're okay. You scared me to death."

"By the way, where's that Silver Tier Nether Cat? I sensed it had activated Bloodthirsty Frenzy just now."

As he spoke, Wenyuan noticed the lifeless body of the Silver Tier beast on the other side.

Beside the corpse sat a young man cross-legged, along with a massive turtle.

"A tamed beast?"

Being knowledgeable, he immediately recognized that the giant turtle was a human's tamed beast, not a ferocious beast of the Myriad Races.

Wenyuan's arrival caught the attention of many, though most students and instructors didn't recognize him.

However, the deputy commander knew that although Mr. Wenyuan wasn't a direct military officer, his contributions to the military were well-known throughout Jiangzhou Province.

The military had awarded Wenyuan an honorary rank of colonel. While it didn't grant him real power, he enjoyed the social benefits and status of a colonel.

In times of war, his honorary rank could be converted to an official military rank, granting him the authority to take command of local troops.

According to protocol, the deputy commander needed to report the current battle situation to Wenyuan upon his arrival.

The deputy commander hurriedly jogged over to Mr. Wenyuan, saluted, and reported:

"Mr. Wenyuan, I'm Major Wang Jinyang from the F269 Military Base. In this battle, one of our platoons, along with Martial Academy instructors and students, encountered a large group of Nether Cats. We killed over eight hundred Nether Cats, including twenty-four Bronze Tier and one Silver Tier!"

"We're currently assessing casualties and providing initial treatment to the severely injured."

"Awaiting your orders!"

Wenyuan was shocked to hear this. So many Bronze Tier, and even a Silver Tier?

And they managed to eliminate them all?

However, he didn't show it on his face. He nodded and asked, "Did you kill this Silver Tier Nether Cat?"

The deputy commander replied, "This Silver Tier Nether Cat was killed by Su Bai and his tamed beast."

Upon hearing the deputy commander's response, Wenyuan was once again surprised.

He turned his gaze back to the young man sitting cross-legged.

A Beast Tamer superpowered individual was actually Su Bai?

And that turtle was his tamed beast?

This wasn't in his records. What were those intelligence bureau people doing, missing such crucial information!

At first glance, Wenyuan could tell that Su Bai had already broken through to the initial stage of Bronze Tier. An eighteen-year-old at the initial stage of Bronze Tier was an extraordinary talent.

And to think he was also a Beast Tamer superpowered individual!

In such a vast place as Jiangzhou Province, Wenyuan had seen many eighteen-year-olds at the initial stage of Bronze Tier.

But it was his first time seeing someone at eighteen who could take down a Silver Tier Nether Cat!

This young man's future was limitless!

At this moment, Wenyuan had a bold idea:

Perhaps, Su Bai could reach the level of Lin Tiger someday?

With such talent, regardless of his background, he might just be a suitable match for the Lin family's daughter.

Hearing the deputy commander mention him in front of Mr. Wenyuan, Su Bai stood up and greeted Wenyuan:

"Mr. Wenyuan!"

"The Silver Tier Nether Cat was slain through the combined efforts of the deputy commander, the instructors, and myself. It wasn't my achievement alone."

Although Su Bai spoke modestly, Wenyuan could easily see that Su Bai's tamed beast must have played the leading role!

In fact, without Su Bai and his tamed beast, it was uncertain if anyone would have survived.

The deputy commander and a few instructors were only at the Bronze Tier; what waves could they make against a Silver Tier Nether Cat?

Yet, even so, Su Bai didn't claim all the credit for himself. Instead, he acknowledged the contributions of the deputy commander and the Martial Academy instructors.

It seemed this young man had a commendable character.

Wenyuan rarely smiled, but he did so now, nodding at Su Bai and saying:

"Su Bai, you're quite impressive. After you graduate from the Martial Academy, would you be interested in joining the Jiangzhou Fortress General Command?"

"Although Beast Tamer abilities have declined, given your current talent, balancing martial arts training is possible."

"If you're willing to join, I'll personally guide your training. What do you think?"

Wenyuan's words drew envious glances from everyone present.

Martial Academy graduates were required to enlist; it was a strict rule. However, they were usually assigned to small military outposts, and only with achievements or seniority could they gradually rise in rank.

But Su Bai had the opportunity to join the Jiangzhou Fortress General Command right after graduation?

And with Mr. Wenyuan personally instructing him in martial arts!

It was like reaching the pinnacle in one step!

However, Su Bai shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Wenyuan, but I'm only a freshman. Choosing a unit now is a bit premature for me."

"You mentioned earlier that Beast Tamer abilities have declined. Why is that?"

Wenyuan wasn't bothered by Su Bai's refusal; after all, Su Bai was only a freshman, and it was indeed too early.

He explained Su Bai's question:

"Beast Tamers do grow quickly in the early stages, but there's a problem: a Beast Tamer's level and strength grow with their tamed beast."

"But there's also an issue: high-level beasts can't be tamed by Beast Tamers, and low-level beasts, once tamed, limit the Beast Tamer's level cap."

"Only young beasts with high-quality bloodlines have the growth potential to accompany a Beast Tamer through the ranks, but such beasts are rare."

"That's why Beast Tamer abilities are considered the most impractical, which is why I suggested you also train in martial arts."

"In the hundred-year history of humanity, there have been countless Beast Tamers, but only one truly became a strong figure."

"Unfortunately, after that person's fall, no Beast Tamer superpowered individual has stood out, with the highest achievement being only Silver Tier."

After hearing Wenyuan's explanation, Su Bai nodded and didn't say much.

He was joking; his Little Eight had the bloodline of the holy beast Basalt!

Only Su Bai knew this fact for now.
