The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 215: Chapter 209: Refusing Peony

Translator: 549690339 |  ³

On the hovertrain, David Jones took out his phone and checked it. As expected, the screen showed a large number of missed calls and friend requests, as well as a staggering 999+ unread messages on QChat.

Ever since his Arcane Star Cultivation was detected with an SSS-rank evaluation yesterday morning, his phone had not stopped ringing, with calls coming in from the prestigious Beast Taming schools nonstop.

Among them, the offers from Peony College and Phoenix College were the most tempting, while the admissions department of Rosewood College had remained silent.

Do they think they have me in the bag? Holding his phone in his right hand, David Jones pondered.

Last night, the admissions teachers from Peony College and Phoenix College still chose to call him and persist even after he had clearly refused a few times. However, the promotion of Rainbow was crucial, and to avoid being affected, he had turned off his phone last night, intending to let the bullets fly for a while longer.

After all, David Jones knew that the reason he had been favored by so many Beast Taming colleges was ultimately due to his Arcane Star Cultivation talent and his first-place performance in the provincial Trainer Competition.

If he could come in first in the practical exam of Rosewood College, the offers from the other colleges would definitely go higher, and even Rosewood College, which had been silent, would pay more attention to him and offer higher prices.

Otherwise, if the student who won first place in the practical exam of Rosewood College were to switch to the other prestigious schools, where would Rosewood Colleges face be?

In the end, even though the offers from the other prestigious schools were higher than the silent Rosewood College, David Jones was more inclined to choose Rosewood College, known worldwide for its Pharmacy Department. Whats wrong? You look troubled. Margaret Yule, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously.

David Jones put away his phone and shook his head, Nothing, just some trivial matters that have been bothering me.

As a friend, he couldnt very well tell Margaret Yule about his troubles being courted by the Flowery Kingdoms Big Five.

After all, given Margarets current situation, her chances of being admitted to the Big Five were almost non-existent, unless she did well in the practical exams.

If he chose to tell her the truth, David Jones felt that it would be more like boasting or showing off, so it was better to keep quiet.

Just then, his phone started to vibrate.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

David Jones pursed his lips. Goodness gracious, there was already a call coming in just ten seconds after turning the phone on!

Margaret Yule glanced reflexively at David Jones pocket and saw that he had a look of helplessness on his face, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, and asked, Arent you going to answer that?

Although David Jones did not say it directly, the always perceptive Margaret had a vague feeling of what was bothering David Jones and, for some reason, felt proud on his behalf.

As David Jones friend and the one who had first discovered his talent, Margaret Yule couldnt help but feel proud and honored for her insight as he achieved such success.

Sure enough, its Peony College again!

Taking out his phone and seeing that the incoming call was from Mr. Lewis at Peony Colleges admissions department, David Jones eyes flickered with understanding and gratitude, then chose to answer the call.

David Jones, have you made your decision?

I m sorry, Mr. Lewis, I still want to apply to Rosewood College. Times have changed, and David Jones had long decided on his target. He was not about to change his preset plan just because of a king-class beast.

David, have you heard of Overlord Mechas?

Upon hearing this, David Jones pupils shrank.

Could it be that Peony College was actually willing to give him an Overlord Mecha?

You mean the mecha-armed lifeforms popular in the Holy Europe Alliance? Yes, as long as you enroll in Peony College, youll have a chance to contract a Class VII Overlord Mecha.

David Jones couldnt help swallowing his saliva, feeling momentarily dazed by the enticing pie drawn by Peony College.

Although he didnt know the specifics of Overlord Mechas, he knew they were incredibly expensive and even more rare than beast cubs of the same rank.

Moreover, unlike beast cubs, Overlord Mechas have Class VII strength from the moment they are forged, so they can communicate with the Trainer without going through a long cultivation period, and even carry out autonomous upgrades and optimization through smart chips, greatly enhancing their strength.

No, theres no way a mecha with the power of an Overlord would just be given to a freshman!

Upon thinking this, David Jones took a deep breath and asked, What specific conditions are required to contract such a mecha?

As long as you come in first in the practical exam of Peony College and win the championship in the future National College Trainer Competition, whether its the individual or team championship, it counts. On the other side of the phone, Mr. Lewis silently chuckled.

He had successfully lured two geniuses to Peony College with this extremely tempting offer before; he did not believe David Jones could refuse.

As for whether David Jones would actually get the mecha in the end, it would depend on his personal strength.

At these words, David Jones fell silent.

It wasnt because he lacked confidence, on the contrary, he felt he had a chance to fulfill Peony Colleges conditions, but it was because of this that he was caught in indecision.

Is it necessary to antagonize a yet-to-meet master and Rosalind Louise, who has been helping me all along, just for an Overlord Mecha? David Jones wore a look of distress.

Whew! Sorry, Mr. Lewis. Im going to stick with my own ideas. David Jones firmly rejected the offer.

So what if it was an Overlord Mecha? He believed that his future would not stop at being an Overlord!

As the saying goes, ones word is worth a thousand gold, and he wouldnt break his promise with Rosalind just for the sake of an Overlord Mecha opportunity.

However, as soon as these words left his mouth, David Jones still felt his heart bleeding.

I knew it, I knew it. If I had known Flowery Kingdoms Big Fives treatment was so good, I wouldnt have been bought by a single Afterglow Array!

I understand. Mr. Lewis hung up the phone and sighed.

How will I explain this to my superior leaders later?

He had offered the highest sincerity, but still failed to persuade David Jones to join. This child was truly extraordinary!

Seeing that David Jones had finally finished with the conversation, Margaret Yule, who was sitting next to him, asked with a smile, So, youve been troubled by this matter these past few days?bender

Yes. David Jones put away his phone, unable to resist looking at the fast-moving landscape outside the window.

Although there was still some lingering regret in his heart, as both were top Beast Taming colleges, he didnt believe that Rosewood College would treat a Beast Taming genius like him poorly.

An hour later, the train began to slow down.

We will soon arrive at Celebration Station. Passengers who need to disembark, please prepare in advance..
