Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 669

Chapter 669: Chapter 669 - Taming the Fifth Year: 1st Gathering Exam - 7

Outside, under the intense sunlight that blinded them slightly, the group stopped for a moment.

"How are we going to...?" Fan 2 began, looking toward the distant forest in the south. The outward journey had taken a few hours. But the return trip, loaded down, even longer.

The weight made the difference significant.

Ren didn’t respond verbally.

Instead, his Wolverine materialized again after Ren had absorbed it to pass through the gate. Not many entrances were designed for massive beasts.

The creature expanded until reaching almost four meters in height, its jade form gleaming in the intense light. Its back was wide enough to easily accommodate five people.

"Get on," Ren ordered, already climbing onto his beast’s back.

Liu didn’t need to be told twice. Experience had taught him to trust first, question later.

Fan 1 and Fan 2 followed with less grace but equal enthusiasm. Scrambling up, finding handholds in the crystalline fur.

Kade hesitated.

"Unless you’d prefer to run alongside," Ren offered, his tone neutral. No judgment, just presenting options.

That was enough to make the boy climb up too. Pride could wait... Feet hurt now.

Zhao observed the scene, still amused, then shook his head when Ren turned to look at him.

"I’ll fly," he announced, his mist owl manifesting completely. The bird was massive, easily capable of carrying a grown man. "Don’t want to add more weight for your beast."

"As you wish..."

The Wolverine launched forward.

It wasn’t a trot. It wasn’t a normal sprint. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

It was pure, brutal speed that would have left any horse in the dust. Buildings became white blurs. The wind whipped their faces, stealing breath, making eyes water.

Fan 1 screamed, half terror, half pure excitement. The sound ripped away by velocity.

Liu simply laughed, gripping the Wolverine’s crystalline jade fur. Merging with his hyena had given him enough strength to hold easily but also a weird laugh that seemed to embrace chaos, to find joy in the insane.

"This is incredible!" he shouted over the wind.

And it was.

In less than thirty minutes, they’d covered what had taken them 2 hours the first time.

A while later...

Silver Ring 1 passed like a blur of green and brown. Ren kept the Wolverine on a path that avoided the most ’dangerous’ zones, zigzagging between beast territories that barely had time to register their presence before they’d already passed.

Like ghosts. Like wind. There and gone.

But it was in one of these open zones outside beast territory, near the border between Silver 2 and 3, when it happened.

Two groups emerged from the foliage.

It didn’t seem like an accident.

The positioning too deliberate, like attacking passerbies was their strategy all along.

"There!" someone shouted, pointing toward the Wolverine. "Woah, we’re lucky! It’s the one they’re paying to obstruct from the Central Academy!"

Ren braked the beast almost instinctively, the Wolverine skidding to a stop. The other students on its back almost flew off from inertia, scrambling to hold on.

"What...?" Liu began, confusion evident.

"Swallow them," Ren ordered, his voice cold.

Ren’s beast jumped, losing all its passengers and then spun to "eat" all Ren’s companions.

"Move forward."

The Wolverine launched ahead without hesitation and the 2 teams let it pass, their objective was Ren anyway and the less beasts and students to fight the easier...

Zhao was descending, touching the ground just as the 2 teams approached. His expression was calm, almost bored.

"I’m sorry, but obstruction is allowed to a certain point. Still... I’ll make sure they don’t use excessive force. If so, I’ll beat and disqualify them here."

Professional... Seeming like a neutral observer.

But the warning was clear beneath the words.

"Doesn’t matter," Ren said with a dismissive gesture. "Won’t be needed..."

Ten students total. Uniforms from the other two academies. Beasts materialized, ready to fight.

"So you’re alone," said one of them, a boy with lizard markings on his arms. His smile was unpleasant. "I thought genius lackeys of the Ashenway and Dravenholm families traveled with bodyguard retinues... cheating as always."

"I’m not alone," Ren pointed out, the observation factual.

"Your tutor doesn’t count," spat another, a girl with eagle feathers. "He can’t stop us... Not until you’re minced into the dirt."

"Poor things..." Zhao murmured, almost sympathetically.

Because he’d recognized something in Ren’s posture.

Something the attackers hadn’t noticed yet.

Absolute calm.

"I don’t have time to beat all of you while being careful not to exceed damage limits," Ren said simply... Matter-of-factly. "Better move aside."

"Or what?" the lizard boy took a step forward. Aggressive and confident in their numbers. "You going to cry to your teachers? You going to...?"

The lightning that passed beside him interrupted.

It wasn’t really an attack. It was an electric shock followed by a wind push. A touch of electricity that ran through the air between Ren and the eight students in a fraction of a second.

Then... a push.
