Chapter 159: You Have The Potential of An Expert

Edited by Aelryinth

Huang Juyun walked out from the control cabin, ignoring his surprised daughter. Instead, his attention was on Zhang Che. He smiled, “You must be Zhang Che.”

“Uhm, I am Zhang Che. Greetings to Huang…”

{TL: In Chinese honorifics are used after their names, like Huang Jiang Jun(General), Huang Shushu (Uncle).}

Seeing the shining golden star on Huang Juyun’s shoulder, Zhang Che stood up and subconsciously wanted to address him as General. However, Huang Juyun showed a faint smile and interrupted him with a wave of his hand, “If you don’t mind, how about calling me Uncle Huang?”

“Alright, Uncle Huang.”

Now Zhang Che finally understood why this man standing before him looked familiar. Wasn’t he the man in the swordplay demonstration Huang Tielan had sent him?

Well, it truly was that a woman was born to leave her family. This girl actually taught him something passed on within her family!

Zhang Che felt even more touched!

Huang Juyun came to the sofa in the resting cabin, seating himself as he told Zhang Che, “Sit down, sit down.” He continued, “I’ve long heard about you from Tielan, and I finally got to meet you today. You’re truly a young talent, advancing to Tier Three in just a month. Even among those from influential households, there aren’t many who could achieve what you did.”

Okay, Miss Tienan actually told her father everything about his development…

“This is all luck. If it weren’t for Tie… Tielan gifting the Fiery Scorpion to me, I wouldn’t have come this far,” Zhang Che replied humbly, nearly exposing her Tienan nickname, and got Huang Tielan rolling her eyes at him in return.

“No, there are no flukes on the road to success!” Huang Juyun said very seriously. “Any and all beneficial elements are part of your strength, including luck. You probably know this too; the annual casualties in the beast world aren’t small, with many of them having a much higher starting point than you. But where are they now? Dead, with their corpses nowhere to be found!”

Zhang Che felt embarrassed hearing his future in-law praising him like that. He could only show a humble smile on his face, not interrupting him.

-It seems like this shameless fellow has made up his mind to live off of Huang Tielan. I even addressed him as father-in-law in my heart…-

“Right, your target this time is Bei Du University, isn’t it?” Huang Juyun suddenly asked.

“That’s right, Uncle Huang,” Zhang Che nodded. He lamented inwardly, -It seems like this general has looked through all superficial information about me.-

It wasn’t strange after thinking about it. If Zhang Che had a daughter of his own, surely he’d unearth all information, including his ancestors, about the guy who was about to snatch his daughter away.

“Hmm, the competition there might be a little intense,” Huang Juyun said. He continued, “Uncle suggests that it’s best for you to not hold anything back. Just show everything you’ve got. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”

His words were as good as a promise to him.

Zhang Che hurriedly nodded in acknowledgement, but he thought inwardly, -Does my future father-in-law know something about the content of the upcoming examination?-

It didn’t seem very likely, thinking about it. This was a combined examination for all universities focusing on the development in beastmasters in the entire Hua Xia region. How could they possibly leak the content of the examination so easily?

Even with Huang Juyun’s extraordinary background, it wouldn’t be easy for him to find out the content of the examination.

“You don’t need to worry, however. I feel that it won’t be a problem for you to enroll into Bei Du University. You have the potential of an expert!” Huang Juyun said firmly, looking at Zhang Che.

“You flatter me, Uncle Huang. I’ll do my best.”

Zhang Che thought to himself, -Of course I know that I have the potential of an expert. The thing is, how did you know about that? How strange…-

“Alright, dad, get back to the control cabin!”

Miss Tienan slowly grew unhappy seeing her father talking on and on… She came over and pulled Huang Juyun up from the sofa, forcibly pushing him back to the control cabin.

Huang Juyun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, saying, “Alright, alright. I’ll walk by myself. This girl…”

After Huang Juyun returned to the control cabin and shut the door, Huang Tielan looked at Zhang Che awkwardly and said, “Ha, uhm, actually my dad doesn’t talk that much usually.”

Zhang Che nodded, “Mmm, I know.”

Every father in the world would probably be especially talkative when they saw their daughter’s sweetheart for the first time, hoping to have an insight into their character, wouldn’t they?

As such, Zhang Che was very understanding about it.

Without any seniors around, the two quickly broke into conversation happily. Their topic went from Zhang Che’s examination, to Huang Tielan’s upcoming beast card cultivation examination, and back to Zhang Che’s experiences in the beast world…

——

Before they realized it, the airplane had been flying in the sky for two hours, and was already over two thousand kilometers away from Qian Wei City. They were currently flying above an expansive, thick forest.

At that moment, a huge bird with silver fur covering its entire body and a wingspan of over twenty meters, suddenly turned into a streak of silvery light from the forest below, heading straight for the airplane, agitated by the noise it created.

“General, the convoy fighter planes sent us a warning, stating that a powerful flying beast is chasing us from the forest below.”

“Get them to chase it away!” Huang Juyun replied sharply with a poker face, sitting on a chair.

—

After a short while…

“General, the convoy sent us another warning. The target was too fast; the fighter plane’s mini-missiles were unable to hit their target!”

Huang Juyun’s brow finally rose up, and he gave the order, “Show me the video feed.”

“Yes, General!”

In the next moment, the video feed on the large screen in the control cabin was cut in from the convoy behind them. A huge silvery bird was flying behind them, quickly shifting about, trying to dodge the pursuit of the mini missiles.

Evidently, this wasn’t the first time this flying beast had come across the humans’ weaponry. It knew that it mustn’t come into contact with these flying chunks of metal, and could only try to dodge.

However, the missiles were launched from several fighter planes, with the ability to track their target. How could they be avoided so easily? The missiles were flying closely behind the huge bird, mere moments away from hitting the streamlined figure.

Right at that moment, a layer of green light flashed over the silvery bird. Its speed accelerated sharply, pulling open the distance from the missiles. After that, it opened its mouth wide, and a few crescent-shaped silvery light blades shot out from its mouth like boomerangs, slamming into the pursuing missiles and detonating them.

The violent explosions rang through the skies, alerting everyone on the journey.

“What happened? Is our convoy being attacked by exotic beasts?”

“Ah? Could it be that another airplane was destroyed by the exotic beasts? What should we do?”

The complexion on the teachers and students on the various airplanes changed.

Just as the people were falling into panic, a steady voice rang out from the public address system, assuring them, “Everyone, don’t panic. Please get back into your seats and put on your seatbelts. The convoy planes will get rid of the pursuing exotic beasts very soon. Your safety won’t be at risk.”

-Right, we have a convoy of fighter planes. Why are we scared of the exotic beasts?-
