My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 181 - 180: Dragon-Series Combat Training Master Hu Shiwu (Seeking Votes)
Chapter 181 -180: Dragon-Series Combat Training Master Hu Shiwu (Seeking Votes)
“This is the team captain of the Su City University team, Shao Zifeng,” Gou Li said, holding a laser pointer and calling up Shao Zifeng’s registration information. “He’s 19, transferred to the Combat Training Department in his sophomore year just above, and the beasts he registered are the South African armadillo lizard and the sika deer.”
“However, it’s unknown which unit registered his Combat Training Master identity; his personal information is classified as low-level secret, which at the very least we aren’t authorized to access.”
As Gou Li’s voice faded, a soft buzz of discussion rose from below.
“It’s actually a South African armadillo lizard, which is the initial form of that rumored Fire Dragon Lizard closest to a dragon, right?”
“Yeah, that kind of mutant creature is hard to come by. He’s so handsome and his personal information is confidential, could he be a young master from some hidden noble family?” a female team member said, holding her hands to her heart, her eyes shining as she looked at Shao Zifeng’s photograph.
“Go away, I’ve told you to cut down on your reading of novels; it’s easy to start dreaming. There aren’t such families nowadays. Besides, it’s just low-level secrecy; at most, it suggests he has a bit of a background.”
“Ehehe… Regardless, he’s so handsome… It would be great if he were from our school. I’m suddenly a little jealous of the girls at Su City University.”
“Add one to the jealousy.”
Listening to the girls’ conversation, a few rugged-looking guys looked down at Shao Zifeng’s handsome face and felt inferior.
“Ahem.”
Seeing the direction of the discussion veer off course, Gou Li couldn’t help but interrupt, “This Shao Zifeng has been a Combat Training Master for just over half a year, and the beasts he holds are in their initial state. So, I personally think he’s not likely to be that Dragon Battle Trainer.”
Having shared her opinion, Gou Li looked towards the three lead teachers.
The middle-aged gentleman from P University in a suit nodded, “Although the South African armadillo lizard is called the closest fire-type beast to a dragon, it doesn’t have the dragon attribute. Besides, the initial form of the armadillo lizard species has a significant character impact on combat, so I don’t think it’s him.”

“Hehe, that’s not necessarily the case, what if his is one that has undergone atavistic evolution…” the young teacher from J University said, laughing before he could finish his sentence.
As everyone knows, the precondition for a mutant creature to undergo atavistic evolution is to have a group. But due to the randomness of atavism, not all groups of mutant creatures will necessarily give birth to individuals who have evolved.
Whether it’s the Iron-eating Giant Panda from the Wolong Nature Reserve or Li Tianwen’s Golden Pond Dragon Fish, they are fundamentally part of Daxia’s strategic forces.
This means that the Golden Pond Dragon Fish was officially assigned to Li Tianwen; it isn’t simply considered his personal pet.
Aside from movies and novels, there’s never been a case where a personally-contracted beast undergoes atavistic evolution.
The reason for this situation is because no matter which group a mutant creature belongs to, the owners are the officials of Daxia.
This is not to say that all atavistic beasts must belong to the officials. If you’re incredibly lucky to contract an atavistic beast, as long as you don’t violate the law, they won’t forcibly require you to turn the beast over to Daxia; it’s just that such cases are almost impossible to come by.
That’s because newborn pets in reserves are subject to workers’ identification and registration. Only after confirming there are no atavistic phenomena will they be opened for qualified people to contract.
As a first class protected animal in South Africa, the armadillo lizard faces such a regime. With already few numbers, their registration and identification are particularly strict. Those that become available for personal contracting have been determined to have no chance of atavism.
A round of low laughter followed, clearing away the suspicion surrounding Shao Zifeng.
Teacher Yu from Xiangshan University didn’t express her opinion, but her attitude almost confirmed that she agreed with this viewpoint.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she simply nodded and said, “Next.”
Seeing that the three teachers were in agreement, Gou Li switched to Li Yiming’s registration information using the remote control. “Li Yiming, 18 years old, is the most ordinary among the four students participating from Su City University this time. Orphaned with no parents, with a younger sister, he suffered long-term bullying which led to a timid personality. Later, after being punished for intentional injury, his pet combat style seemed to transform completely.”
“His initial pet is a male domestic chicken, with the second listed being the Chinese Brocade Lobster.”
“Simple family background, simple social relations, pets…” Gou Li paused, then continued, “Although the Chinese Brocade Lobster has the word ‘dragon’ in its name, as a marine species, it should have nothing to do with the rumored Burning Wings. I personally don’t think it’s him.”
Gou Li paused for a reason.
Aside from the more common pets, many have not been completely researched to determine their exact attributes. Researchers have found that some pets can be divided into apparent attributes and hidden attributes.
The apparent attributes are those that can be identified at a glance, but the hidden attributes are much more complex and require long-term observation and study to conclude.
With thousands of pet species worldwide, the mere twenty years is in no way sufficient to make absolute conclusions about all species.
Thus, when facing a relatively obscure mutant creature like the Chinese Brocade Lobster, she was not as certain as with the South African armadillo lizard.
What they didn’t know was that if Shao Zifeng had not taken the Ice Dragon Orb, the Chinese Brocade Lobster might actually have a chance to become a mutant creature with both ice and dragon attributes.
After a brief exchange of opinions, the three unanimously cleared Li Yiming of suspicion.
When Casar’s photo appeared on the big screen, it caused another commotion in the conference room.
After the ‘Unknown Recovery event’ occurred, there was less civil exchange between countries, and many ordinary people rarely saw other races beside on the internet and television, suddenly seeing someone with blue eyes was quite novel.
Not to mention this person was a participant in the regional competition.
“Casar, a member of the Taji Clan from the Great Xia, joined the Su City University team as an exchange student in the first half of this year. As a highland border-guarding ethnicity, the Taji people have guarded the borders of Great Xia for generations, they revere eagles, and call themselves the eagles of the Pamir Plateau. They are one of the few who do not need to apply to contract mutant creatures including level one eagles at their ‘Korban Festival’.”
“Due to the uniqueness of their ethnicity, not much specific information was found, only knowing that his parents and uncles all sacrificed at the border.”
“The pet beast registered by Casar is an evolved Snow Feather Owl.”
“Regarding him, I personally believe there is no suspicion.”
As Gou Li introduced him, the conference room fell silent, and the girls who had been chattering about Casar’s appearance stopped talking.
From any perspective, the Taji Clan deserved respect.
Defending the nation’s borders, these four simple words, yet one does not know how many sacrifices were made to achieve this.
In this era, heroes are revered, even more so heroes, and all the more a heroic nation.
“Tsk!”
Just then, a scoff sounded, and all eyes turned to Wang Xing, who was laughing.
Among them were confusion, disdain, and anger.
However, Wang Xing did not say anything, just sauntered back into his chair, and closed his eyes again.
The solemn atmosphere was disturbed, and Gou Li frowned in dissatisfaction, put down the remote control, and looked around: “All the Su City University competitors are here, who do you think is most likely to be the Dragon Battle Trainer?”
No one spoke; after the elimination process, none of them was under suspicion.
This made everyone begin to doubt the rumor, wondering if it was indeed an overreaction.
There was no fraud in the competition registration; for instance, if you registered a rooster as your pet beast, in the official competition it could be an evolved form of the rooster, the Iron Feathered Rooster, but it could not be an unrelated Red-bellied Golden Chicken.
Even though they are both chickens.
“Teacher…”
While everyone was doubting themselves, a feeble voice arose: “Didn’t you say there were four contestants? Why are there only three sets of data?”
Hearing the girl’s words, everyone in the conference room realized and looked at Gou Li with puzzlement.
Gou Li herself was also stunned, she picked up the remote control and checked repeatedly, indeed there were only three sets of registration information.
The last person, known only by the name Hu Shiwu, had a completely blank profile.
After a moment of silence.
Gou Li got it.
The rest of the people in the conference room got it too.
To protect the information of the Dragon Battle Trainer, they did not provide his registration information in advance.
But the more it was like this, the more it indicated there was something questionable with Su University and this Hu Shiwu.
Unfortunately, this little cleverness was seen through by their collective intelligence.
He.
Hu Shiwu.
Was the Dragon Battle Trainer!
There was no doubt about it!
