Beast Taming Patrol

Hearing this, Qin Nan, who had initially stood up, quietly sat down, clenching his fists involuntarily.

"This is Nan Yue Ran." Nan Yue Ran took a deep breath, connected the communication, and spoke quickly, "What's the situation now? Is the reserve battalion's combat squad in danger?"

"Reporting to the commander, the endangered Xing Yun squad has been rescued, but one of the members named Lin Su is missing. According to explanations from other squad members, he was abducted by beast cultists; however, despite our thorough search in the area as instructed, no trace or clues were found at the scene..."

Nan Yue Ran glanced at Qin Nan, who silently stood up, and hurriedly continued, "Alright, I get it. Keep searching and report back immediately if there are any leads."

After finishing, Nan Yue Ran quickly ended the communication, stood up, and grabbed Qin Nan, who was heading toward the door, "Xiao Nan, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to find him," Qin Nan replied with an expression so grim it was terrifying, like the calm before a storm, "Lin Su joined the reserve battalion because of me, so I must bring him back safely."

"Nonsense!" Nan Yue Ran rebuked in a low voice, "I have already dispatched several Hall-level Beast Tamers to search. What difference can you make? Why not sit here and wait for news?"

"I can't do that," Qin Nan pulled away from Nan Yue Ran's grasp, resolute, "Those you sent out are at the one-dimensional Hall-level, right? The multi-dimensional ones should still be stationed at the front, confronting the Emperor-level beasts in the beast tide."

Seeing the implicit agreement in Nan Yue Ran's expression, Qin Nan shook his head, "They're not strong enough; I don't feel reassured, so I should be the one to go!"

Catching Qin Nan's implication, Nan Yue Ran blinked, "You... have reached two dimensions?"

"Sort of," Qin Nan said vaguely, "Now, may I go?"

"That still won't do!" Nan Yue Ran shook his head without hesitation, "Given your special status..."

"That line again!" Qin Nan's expression turned ice-cold rapidly, "I've heard that sentence from many people ever since I was young."

"Uncle Nan, just because I'm the granddaughter of Qin Yunzhang, does that mean I can't go into battle or kill beasts?" Qin Nan stared deeply at Nan Yue Ran, "I'm no longer the weakling who could only cry for three days and nights after hearing of my parents' deaths. I am now a Hall-level Beast Tamer! A Hall-level Beast Tamer who masters the multi-dimensional Guardian Beast Co-operation!"

"Without the epic-level Beast Tamers, I am the strongest in the alliance!" Qin Nan said sharply, his eyes as cold and sharp as a blade, "Below the Immortal stage, I fear no adversary!"

"Uncle Nan, I thought you wouldn't stop me over this," Qin Nan said quietly.

"When Nan Hao went to battle, did you ever worry about this kind of issue?"

Nan Yue Ran's figure shook, and his grip on Qin Nan's arm relaxed slightly, dropping listlessly.

Nan Hao...

That was his only child.

He had personally sent him to battle enemies, treated him the same as everyone else without any special consideration, until one day, his son was surrounded by several Sovereign-level beasts in combat and perished on the battlefield... his only child.

"Sorry." Seeing Nan Yue Ran's reaction, a hint of guilt flashed in Qin Nan's eyes, "I shouldn't have said that."

"Xiao Nan, you have grown up," Nan Yue Ran said softly, "Go ahead."

"You... won't stop me anymore?" Qin Nan blinked.

"As you said, without the epic-level powers in play, you are already among the strongest in the alliance," Nan Yue Ran said with a bitter smile, "Besides, with your temperament, would stopping you even work?"

"Be careful and take care. I will stay at the command headquarters to keep watch for the Dark Qilin," Nan Yue Ran managed a faint smile, "If the Dark Qilin dares to make a move, I will act immediately."
Your journey continues on empire

"Not just me, but the other eleven commanders as well," Nan Yue Ran continued softly, his eyes filled with icy killing intent, "Epic-level Beast Tamers with four-dimensional Guardian Beast Co-operation, the gap between them and the Immortal stage is just the Rule Power. While they cannot kill it, together, even the Dark Qilin will be helpless!"

"I... I understand," warmth flickered in Qin Nan's eyes, "Uncle Nan, rest assured, I know all the Guardian Beast Co-operation secret techniques that the beast tamers at the front line use. Even if I do face danger, I'll self-destruct immediately; I won't give them the chance to threaten Grandpa."

"...I suddenly feel less confident," a spasm crossed Nan Yue Ran's face.

"Alright, I'm off!" Qin Nan left the office quickly, soon transforming into a streak of azure light, shooting towards the frontier.

Watching Qin Nan's figure vanish into the sky, Nan Yue Ran sighed softly, gazing into the endless dark clouds over Immortal Country, his expression growing more solemn.

Dark Qilin...

I lost my only son, and the command headquarters became my home.

I lost my fifth companion, making the five-dimensional Guardian Beast Co-operation seem dim.

The ninth-order Beast Taming Space was far-fetched, and breaking through to the legend rank was but a fantasy.

I have nothing left to lose.

So...

If you dare to harm Xiao Nan even slightly, then...

Let the battle begin!

...

"Whoosh!"

Like awakening from a nightmare, Lin Su suddenly sat up in bed, took a deep breath, and looked around.

At this moment, he was in a room of the hostel provided by the Imperial Beast Taming Association for the preliminary competition's Beast Tamers.

Everything before seemed like a nightmare, something Lin Su didn't want to remember.

But he couldn't escape it.

Because it was real.

The next time he fell asleep in this world and returned to Blue Star, he would face the greatest crisis since becoming a Beast Tamer.

Lin Su sat quietly at the edge of the bed, his brows deeply furrowed.
