Lin Fan took a look at that young master before turning to Yu Ning and saying, "Miss Yu, should we go? Since I don't know the way, I'll have to count on you to lead the way."

Yu Ning was surprised at how calm Lin Fan was, but she followed his lead and led the way, moving past the young master.

But that young master wouldn't just let things rest like this.

When Lin Fan passed by the young master, the young master made it look like he was about to move out of the way, but then he suddenly tripped. As he tripped, his fist came up, flying right towards Lin Fan's face.

But Lin Fan had already expected this, so he smoothly moved to the side and dodged past the fist. At the same time, he didn't forget to slightly stick out his foot right in front of where that young master was "falling", making him fall for real.

The young master didn't even have time to react as he realized that he had completely lost his sense of balance, tumbling forward and landing on his face.

Once he was on the ground, everyone was stunned to see what had happened.

During this time, Lin Fan didn't forget to turn around and stick his hand out to help the young master as he said with a smile, "Are you alright?"

The young master's face scrunched up when he heard this, but he didn't do anything other than take Lin Fan's hand. 

He had already embarrassed himself by taking this tumble in front of the one he was trying to impress, if he continued like this and took it too far, he wouldn't have any face left. At this point, the only thing he could do to save his pride was to back off, but that didn't mean he would forget it easily.

When Lin Fan helped him up, the young master came closer to Lin Fan and whispered, "You're going to regret that, just you wait."

Then with a slight push, which didn't move Lin Fan at all and felt like pushing against an iron wall, the young master gave a cold snort before walking off with his goons.

Lin Fan just watched him leave with a smile, but he didn't say a word.

Yu Ning came over with a worried look and said, "Young Master Lin, while I have no doubt of your abilities, that might not have been the best move. That Gu Xiong is actually quite talented despite how he looks and the family behind him isn't one to look down on. It's said that they have someone who's already close to reaching the Legendary Realm."

Lin Fan just smiled and said, "It's fine, I have my own ways to deal with people like him."

Yu Ning slightly knit her brows when she heard this, but then she realized that Lin Fan was completely right to not be worried at all. Not only did he have the Legendary Realm Zhu Family behind him, it seemed like even her master and the president valued him. With these two organizations behind him, he had the right to be confident.

But for Lin Fan, he was actually hoping that this Gu Xiong would come after him which would allow him to crush another family. Crushing one family in each city was the best way for him to advertise his store, that's what he had found from experience. Then there were also the treasures that the family was keeping in their storage which they had gathered over hundreds of years, that was also welcome.

Neither of them said anything else as Yu Ning led Lin Fan into the Monster Trainer Union.

…

After walking around the Monster Trainer Union, Lin Fan found that it was completely different from the Alchemy Tower.

Instead of having a single area where quests were given and taken, materials were sold or bought, and where alchemists signed up, the Monster Trainer Union was organized more like a university.

Most of the rooms in the Monster Trainer Union were used as classrooms to teach various types of monster training. Then there was a separate building that was made just for testing and giving certification. Finally there was one more building that was made for finding jobs for Monster Trainers.

Unlike the alchemist, Monster Trainers didn't rely on materials that much, so their system was much more relaxed. The only thing that one would need points to trade for would be different methods of training.

Yu Ning led Lin Fan's group around the entire campus, peeking into several classrooms to listen to the lectures before finally making their way to the testing building.

It was a good thing that Lin Fan had come early in the morning since today's tests hadn't begun yet.

The tests for the Monster Trainer Union were different from the Alchemy Tower. Instead of tests one on one, letting a higher realm alchemist judge the lower realm alchemist, the Monster Trainers held one large test each day.

Because Monster Trainers were much more free, the examiners for these tests were chosen from whoever was free at the time rather than having set examiners like with the Alchemy Tower.

Yu Ning brought Lin Fan to the front desk of the testing facility and helped him sign up.

When the person sitting behind the desk saw Lin Fan's application, she couldn't help asking him, "Young man, are you certain that you want to take this test? Are you sure you don't mean to take the Junior Monster Trainer test instead of this Master Monster Trainer test?"

This was a young man who wasn't even in his twenties, if he were able to become a Master Monster Trainer, what kind of monstrous talent would he have?

Even Yu Ning was a bit doubtful, but it wasn't her place to say anything since even her master respected Lin Fan. Rather she wanted Lin Fan to take this Master Monster Trainer Test since she did have her doubts about him, so she wanted to see if he was worth his reputation.

Lin Fan just had a confident smile as he said, "I'm certain that I want to take this test."

The person sitting at the desk was still a bit hesitant, but after taking a look at Yu Ning, she just nodded and accepted the form. It wasn't because she believed that Lin Fan could pass, rather it was because Yu Ning was standing beside him.

Who didn't recognize the famous disciple of vice president Zhang Liang?

It was said that she was already an Expert Monster Trainer and it would only take a few more years for her to become a Master Monster Trainer. At the rate she was improving, it was very likely that she would become a Grandmaster Monster Trainer and take over her master's position as vice president.

Yu Ning led Angela and Song Shu to the viewing stands while Lin Fan was led by the person at the desk to the test site.

There were already several people waiting there for the test to begin, but they were all shocked when they saw Lin Fan arrive.

All the people who were already at the test site were all in their forties, there was only one person who was in his late thirties. These people had worked hard for over a decade to reach the level they were at now and they still weren't confident that they would be able to pass this exam.

The man who was in his late thirties had been quite proud about being the youngest person here, but that pride had been crushed the moment he saw Lin Fan.

That man couldn't help glaring at Lin Fan when he came in and once the receptionist left, that man came over and looked over Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at him, but he didn't say anything before turning his head away.

When that man saw this, he couldn't help feeling like he had just been disdained when in fact Lin Fan simply didn't care about him. That man came forward and poked Lin Fan in the chest as he said, "Kid, what do you think you're doing here? Do you think that this place is a joke?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes after being poked in the chest to look at that man before asking, "Why do you think that I don't belong here?"

That man gave a cold laugh before saying, "You think that a kid like you could really become a Master Monster Trainer? Wouldn't anyone off the street be able to become one? Do you know just how hard it is to become a Master Monster Trainer?"

Lin Fan just said, "Why do you think you can become one then?"

The man revealed a proud look when he heard this, "You don't even know who I am, you must be some bumpkin kid. I am Chu He of the Chu Family, we're a family that has already had three Master Monster Trainers and I am the most talented person in this generation. If I can't become a Master Monster Trainer, who else would be able to?"

Lin Fan revealed a smile when he heard this, he had seen this kind of person too often before.

They took pride in the accomplishments of their family and bragged about it like it was their own achievement.

Lin Fan then hit the nail on the head, "So how many Master Monster Trainers does your family have now?"

Chu He's expression became ugly when he heard this.

Lin Fan's words had punched right into his sore spot.
