Chapter 589 - Monster Trainer Exam (9)

The Zephyr Sparrow, its name might have sounded imposing, but it was actually one of the weakest beasts out there.

The only advantage that it actually had was its speed, which was the real origin of its name. It was able to fly as fast as the wind, greatly outpacing all other beasts that could fly.

However, the fact that it was one of the weakest beasts out there.

The simple reason for why it was considered the weakest was that it wasn't able to learn any attack skills at all. The only thing that it had was its speed…

Since it wasn't able to learn a skill, the only way that one could pass with this Zephyr Sparrow was to increase its level of cultivation. However, that was something that was beyond the level of just an Expert Monster Trainer, that was already at the level of a Master Monster Trainer.

But unfortunately, this Zephyr Sparrow was only barely in the Embryo Soul Realm, which meant that it was far from being able to make a breakthrough to the Mid Embryo Soul Realm.

It would take a Master Monster Trainer several days or weeks of training before they could induce a breakthrough in a pet, so there was no need to mention how difficult it was to do it in just a single hour. This was not something that any normal Master Monster Trainer could do, not to mention a young Monster Trainer who was just taking the Monster Trainer Exam for the first time.

If he could do it, it would mean that he was already at a level that far surpassed the level of people taking this Monster Trainer Exam. He would be at the same level as a Master Monster Trainer that had already been in the Tamers Guild for many years now.

That was why everyone felt that it was a pity that Lin Fan had drawn this dud.

They had seen his talent, but now it seemed like he would fail all because of his luck, or rather his lack of luck.

In the waiting room, Fei Jun had a wide smile on his face as he watched Lin Fan through the monitor. If it wasn't for the staff member that was with him in this room, he would have already burst out in wild laughter filled with schadenfreude.

This was exactly what he wanted for Lin Fan, but the only tiny bit of regret that he felt was that he wasn't the one who had personally put the nail in his coffin.

Still he considered himself a magnanimous person and put it all behind him, he was just happy that this matter was finally over.

There was no one who believed that Lin Fan would be able to pass this exam, but it was too bad that they were all wrong about him.

Well, it wasn't that there was no one that believed in him.

In the VIP seats, Qiao Yi Fei revealed a faint smile when she saw everything that happened as she thought, "These people are in for a treat."

Then she gave a bitter laugh as she remembered all the times that Lin Fan had shocked her.

Back down in the hall, Lin Fan looked down at the little sparrow that was standing on his palm. This little sparrow seemed to have felt his gaze on it and tilted its head to look up at Lin Fan, looking at him with its cute little eyes.

But after looking at Lin Fan for a bit, its instincts kicked in. The little sparrow felt that something was off as a chill filled its heart, but since there was the temporary contract between them, it didn't run away from Lin Fan right away.

Even though it should have done that.

Lin Fan looked at this little sparrow who was acting cute in his palm for a few seconds before raising his fist without any hesitation.

The little sparrow didn't understand what was happening until the fist was enlarged in front of its face. It wanted to dodge, but it wasn't able since it was already too late and Lin Fan punched the little sparrow right into the ground.

Everyone in the crowd couldn't help taking a cold breath when they saw this.

They had all seen how cute the little sparrow was and almost none of them would have been able to do what Lin Fan did in a normal situation. Perhaps they would have done it if there was a special situation where they would be forced to do it, but they wouldn't have done it without a good reason.

There were many that even secretly called Lin Fan a brute under their breath.

There were also people who thought that Lin Fan was frustrated since there was nothing he could do and he was taking his frustration out on the little sparrow.

There were a few staff members that couldn't watch this and were about to come forward to do something, but then they swallowed the words that they were about to say.

After the little sparrow had been punched, it fell onto the ground in a daze and looked around as if it couldn't understand what had just happened. But then after a few seconds, it suddenly looked like it understood something as it turned to look at Lin Fan's fist.

Without any hesitation, the little sparrow jumped off the ground and flew up to Lin Fan's fist that was still hanging there. It rubbed up against Lin Fan's fist as if it had never been punched and then it pointed at itself, as if it was asking to be punched again.

Lin Fan had no reason to decline this request since that was what he wanted to do in the first place.

Drawing his hand back, he raised both his hands as he unleashed a barrage of punches onto the tiny body of the sparrow.

It took every single punch that Lin Fan threw out at it and it revealed a look of ecstasy as it was being punched. It even flew out at Lin Fan's fists just so that his punches would hit it faster.

The crowd that was watching this didn't know what to say in response to this, they didn't even know how to feel about this.

Naturally as Monster Trainers, they were people that had a certain amount of empathy and care towards pets. Seeing the Zephyr Sparrow being ruthlessly beaten down like this, they couldn't help feeling strange emotions for it…

They continued to watch this happen until one of the staff members finally couldn't take it anymore.

The staff member came over to Lin Fan's station and raised his voice to say, "Hey, stop that. I know you're frustrated, but there's no need to do this to the poor little beast. How about we just stop and talk this over?"

Lin Fan turned to look at this staff member with a confused look as if he couldn't understand what he was saying.

During this time, he had also stopped punching the little sparrow which caused the little sparrow to look up, turning that look of ecstasy into a look of disappointment. Then when it realized what had happened, the little sparrow turned to look at the staff member who spoke up with a look of aggrievement.

The staff member didn't know how to feel about this because of the way the little sparrow was looking at him as if it regarded him as an enemy even though he was the one speaking up for it. It wasn't just a normal enemy, it was like they had a lifelong grudge that started with him killing its parents.

The staff member didn't understand why this little sparrow would show such an intense response to him speaking up for it…

Lin Fan just looked at him for a bit before saying, "It's alright, I'm almost done."

The staff member didn't know how to respond to this. However, he could tell that the little sparrow itself hadn't suffered any injuries and with the way it looked like it was about to attack him, he really couldn't say anything else.

So in the end, he could only give a nod and said, "Alright."

The other reason why the staff member backed off was because he remembered that Lin Fan was the one who had tamed a Berserk Bear with a single punch. With that fact, at least his punching could be justified since it might be a special technique that was used to tame and train pets.

Of course, not just him, but everyone here had never heard of a technique where they punched pets to tame or train them…

Then as he turned around to move back to his previous position, as if to prove him wrong, there were life energy fluctuations that had come from behind him.

When he had been turning, Lin Fan had sent out one last punch, the very last punch that was needed to finish off his training.

When that last punch landed on the Zephyr Sparrow, it could feel the shackles breaking through and it was finally able to break through to the next realm.

But at the same time, it wasn't just a breakthrough for the Zephyr Sparrow since the shackles that it had been feeling weren't just the shackles of its cultivation, but rather it was the shackles of its bloodline.

With each of Lin Fan's punches, it felt that shackles of its bloodline loosening and with the last punch, the shackles broke free and it broke free of the restrictions of its bloodline.
