1. Chen Ye

Ring! Ring! Ring!

The school bell rang harshly, awakening the few lazy students in class. Among them, a handsome young man was included.

"Chen Ye, you're finally awake?" his desk mate glanced at Chen Ye and rolled his eyes. "Today is the examination day and you're still sleeping so leisurely."

Chen Ye arched his eyebrows and glanced at his friend, Luo Chao, lazily. "You know my talent. Do you really expect me to be able to become a grand genius in one day? That's nothing more than a pipe dream."

Luo Chao snorted and packed his books.

The world they lived in might looked like a normal world. However, the world changed many years ago after a fierce earthquake that shook the entire world. Animals and humans changed. Many animals turned into beasts and there were also many beasts coming.

How did they appear?

It was not known.

At the same time, humans also developed talents that would allow them to cultivate and become stronger.

But this cultivation was not through normal ways.

The talent they have will be more beneficial for them if they could contract a beast and share the cultivation. This way, the two of them, humans and beast would be able to grow stronger together.

Humans would awaken their talent when they were 12 to 14 years old and would be able to contract beast until they were 18 years old. During this period of time, many people would exercise and worked hard to develop their talent so that they would be more attractive to the beasts.

They could only contract one beast for their entire life, so everyone worked hard to make sure that they would be able to contract the best beasts. As long as their talent was better, they would be able to contract stronger beasts.

Talents were divided from F, D, E, C, B, A, and S.

The stronger their talent, the higher the possibility for them to contract better beasts, which meant that their cultivation path would be higher too.

Chen Ye came from Chen Family, one of the few rich and famous family.

Naturally, he was tested every month starting from when he was 12 years old. It was two years ago when he was 13 years old did he found out that his talent was Communication, which was technically useless aside from being able to perceive the thoughts of beasts weaker than him.

Humans and beasts were different.

Ordinary humans will definitely be weaker than even the weakest beast, which meant that if Chen Ye never contracted any beast, his talent could never be used.

This talent was considered to be rank E.

It was not the lowest because it can still be used if they could contract a strong beast. But if they contract weaker beast, this talent was useless.

"Don't worry so much about me. How about you?" Chen Ye picked his bag lazily. They were in the third year of middle school and after more than half a year of tossing and another half a year of calming down, he had accepted this damnable fate. The past year was spent by him to train hard until he vomited blood.

The rules for the beast trainer still required them to train their body first so that they would be able to accept the reverse feedback from the beasts. If they were too weak and then suddenly forced to become stronger due to the contract, they would die.

It would be a lie if he said that he was not angry when he first found out that the talent he awakened was so weak.

But what could he do?

He had already tossed around with his family for a long time after he first awakened it back then. After that, he eventually calmed down and decided to just go with the flow.

No matter what, he was still the young master in Chen Family and lived a better life than most people out there. Even if his talent was poor, his father will definitely figure out a way to let him contract a relatively good beast.

This way, he was not without any way out.

"Me?" Luo Chao grinned. "I exercise for a longer period of time yesterday and felt much better today. I believed that my physical fitness rank will definitely increase."

Luo Chao was also a young master like Chen Ye. The two of them were famous ever since they were young because they liked to make pranks to others.

But when they reached 12 years old, they started to calm down and began to follow the arrangement of the elders. Not to mention, Luo Chao awakened a few weeks before Chen Ye and had the talent of wind element.

Elemental talent was really good and if could be paired with beast of the same element, their power would definitely double.

Elemental talent itself was ranked as A talent.

The different in talent between Luo Chao and Chen Ye caused the two brothers to nearly broke their sworn brotherhood back then. But Luo Chao will still come to help Chen Ye and even pranked teachers at school with him so that Chen Ye would not be so gloomy.

That way, their relationship became better.

Their families also turn blind eyes to these two troublemakers.

What do they expect from two brats who liked to make troubles?

Just spank them after they finished their pranks.

Aside from that, there was nothing they could do.

Who made these two brats liked to make troubles?

"Wind element can increase your physical fitness?" Chen Ye looked at Luo Chao suspiciously. He had never heard of that happening.

"Of course not directly." Luo Chao rolled his eyes. "I meant that my control of wind will be better when I become stronger."

When he first started, the wind he made couldn't even move hair and people could only feel very light breeze. Using it again and again, Luo Chao could finally move some lighter items.

"Come on, the examination will start." Luo Chao saw that the other students had come out to the field and dragged Chen Ye.

Chen Ye rolled his eyes but he still followed. Everyone's talent details were different and what could be told to others were just the basic information. For example, Chen Ye only knew that Luo Chao had wind element but the details were left unknown.

How high his potential or how low it could be was something that only the person involved know.

Chen Ye was not interested either.

"Did your father promised you more pocket money if you do well in this test?"

"How do you know?" Luo Chao looked shocked.

Chen Ye rolled his eyes. With the way Luo Chao was so excited for this examination when the two of them usually play pranks after they finish the school, how could he not know?

He simply followed behind Luo Chao toward the field at the back of the school.

The other students were all also excited and confident. They were all still children and naturally wanted to show off. After harsh training by their parents, they also wished to show off their so called prowess.

Chen Ye had seen it many times when he was back at Chen Family.

For him, this liveliness had nothing to do with him.

He couldn't train his talent, so he poured all of his attention to train his fitness. Speed, strength, stamina, were all the three things he trained himself to the point of vomiting blood.

With his poor talent, he could only work harder if he wished to catch up to these people unless the Chen Family was willing to give a top grade beast to him.

But Chen Family was so big.

How could they be willing to give it to him.

Not to mention…
