Chapter 155: Yan Huang's Immortality! _3
"But Xie Venerate was not originally a pet beast, or rather, it once was a pet beast," the middle-aged man calmly said. "As you know, in the beginning, humanoid Beast Tamers contracting with pet beasts had no restrictions. It was only after the appearance of alien beasts of the emperor-tier and above that the Alien Beast Ban gradually came into being."
Everyone nodded in unison.
They were naturally familiar with the origin of the Alien Beast Ban.
"Xie Venerate is a relic from that era, a pet beast. Its Beast Tamer had passed away a century ago, but it remained on the side of humanity, abiding by its agreement with the Beast Tamer to protect humans."
The man's face bore a hint of reminiscence. "Later, when the Yanhuang Union was established, it too became a member. At that time, it was only at the emperor-tier. Since it was a special support type, there was no intention to make it fight on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, Xie Venerate half-stepped into the undying tier without anyone realizing."
"The Yanhuang Union secretly helped it break through, and that's how we ended up with the only undying tier member in Yanhuang," the man chuckled. "Later, with the introduction of Guardian Beast Co-operation, Xie Venerate began to preside over the Cooperation Oaths."
So that was it.
The crowd fell silent, finally understanding the ins and outs of the matter.
"Alright, I've digressed a bit too much," the man smiled. "In any case, congratulations on successfully passing the Cooperation Oath. Next, a staff member will take you to another location for a special test in the Beast Taming Space, and to customize your synchronization jade."
Synchronization Jade!
At the mention of this, everyone suddenly perked up.
Even the shock they felt upon learning of the undying tier in the Yanhuang Union was momentarily suppressed.
They had finally passed all the tests and could partake in Guardian Beast Co-operation!
In the past week, many freshmen had used various methods to connect with the school's upperclassmen.

Most of these upperclassmen possessed Guardian Beast Co-operation skills, and, despite being elite Beast Tamers like themselves, could easily outperform them in combat.
The display of power by their peers further fueled their desire for Guardian Beast Co-operation.
Soon, the staff members who had walked out of the passage took the batch of freshmen away from Oath Square.
Next, it would be another group of freshmen's turn to take the oath.
What had just transpired was likely to occur again.
"I can't wait to try Guardian Beast Co-operation with my Fire Beast," Zhao Tianchen said as he walked near Lin Su, his eyes filled with anticipation. "I've seen other Beast Tamers' Cooperative Body postures with Ash Wolves, and they looked incredibly cool. If all goes well, my co-operation will look just like that."
He sighed lightly, a tinge of regret in his voice, "It's too bad I can't get my communicator yet. I've saved some pictures, and I could have shown you guys."
"No worries, we'll just see your co-operated form directly," Lin Su chuckled lightly.
"Captain, after you get your synchronization jade, do you plan to cooperate with Qiuqiu or Ghost first?" Han Yu asked playfully.
"Of course, I plan to try both," Lin Su replied, his face also turning expectant.
"But there has to be a first and a second, right? Which one first?" Han Yu persisted in asking.
"Are you trying to stir up a rivalry between our beasts?" Lin Su feigned anger, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
Thankfully, Qiuqiu and Ghost were in the Beast Taming Space and didn't hear this.
"Ah, I'm worried that my bond synchronization index with Mushroom Head might not reach 30," Zhang Xiaoyu said enviously, glancing at the others. "You guys don't have to worry about this, but it's a different story for me."
Hearing Zhang Xiaoyu say this, the expressions of the others became awkward.
Having known him for so long, they were quite familiar with the story between Zhang Xiaoyu and his Mushroom Beast.
"Don't worry," Lin Su patted Zhang Xiaoyu's shoulder, reassuring him softly, "Your relationship with Mushroom Beast has improved a lot compared to before. I think getting above 30 shouldn't be a big problem; you can gradually increase your bond synchronization index later."
"That's all I can hope for," Zhang Xiaoyu sighed despondently, then changed the topic, "By the way, when I cooperate with Mushroom Beast, will I get an extra green mushroom cap on my head?"
"Pfft!" Han Yu burst out laughing, quickly covering her mouth and waving her hands, "Sorry, I remembered something funny. Go on."
Zhang Xiaoyu: "…"
"I doubt that will happen," Lin Su recalled the scene when Qin Nan cooperated with Mushroom Beast using three-dimensional Guardian Beast Co-operation and gently shook his head. "There should be videos online of Beast Tamers who have successfully cooperated with Mushroom Beast. You could check those out."
"Oh right, I can do that," Zhang Xiaoyu nodded, his eyes brightening a bit.
After comforting Zhang Xiaoyu, Lin Su's expression gradually turned strange.
Speaking of which…
His two pet beasts seemingly lacked a reference template.
Qiuqiu was a bit better; there was another Frost Flower Dream Shadow in existence.
Once he got the communicator, he might ask Senior Gu what her pet beast looked like after Guardian Beast Co-operation with her, as it probably wouldn't be much different from his and Qiuqiu's.
As for Ghost…
Lin Su couldn't help but wonder.
He was curious what he would look like after Guardian Beast Co-operation with Ghost.
While talking, the group arrived at a spacious service area.
The freshmen who had taken the Cooperation Oath just before noticed the arrival of Lin Su and others, smiled, and waved at them, then went back to their business.
They were queuing up, undergoing various tests as if they were at a medical check-up.
This was a necessary process for customizing synchronization jade.
Lin Su curiously looked around and soon focused his attention on one of the machines.
He was somewhat familiar with that machine.
Before the initial pet beast allocation, during the high school exam, he had seen the same machine.
It was the device used to measure the Ghost Energy Synchronization Rate.
According to what Qin Nan had told him, his measurement result at that time was a 69% synchronization rate.
Lin Su's heart tightened.
Damn!
His Ghost Energy Synchronization Rate might be different from the first time!
After all, since that test, he had acquired the special ability to traverse between two realms!
He had thought about checking it again on his own afterward.
However, as he got caught up in various matters, he gradually forgot about it.
This...
Could there be trouble?
