Henry Bennett gave a bitter smile in his heart: No wonder—on the Yama Wasteland Sea, surviving thanks to the elephant-nosed rhino, it’s no surprise that this animal is the favorite—truly delicious and easy to hunt!

As Henry Bennett focused his thoughts, the originally brown cane slowly turned white. Beside him, Brooks and Cameron both wore puzzled expressions. Brooks asked, “Old Grant, I know yellow means a low affinity with guardian beasts, green means high, and red means no affinity at all—but what does white mean?” Old Grant looked odd: “No affinity, damn it, don’t you get it? If it’s not green or yellow, it means no affinity…” Brooks: “Ah!” Both he and Cameron were very disappointed, especially Cameron; if Henry Bennett could become a guardian beast warrior, it would bring her, as his recommender, many benefits—not to mention Henry Bennett was clearly fond of her.

No one expected that after passing the martial and magic potential tests so smoothly, he would get stuck on affinity. On the Divine Continent, all races live together, and beast bloodlines are mixed among them; it’s truly hard to find someone who isn’t “beast-affine” at all. In the past, most testers were stopped at the first stage—if they couldn’t pass either the martial or magic potential test.

And once someone passed the first stage, the next was almost a mere formality, which is why Brooks and Cameron had been so relaxed, thinking Henry Bennett would surely pass. No one expected that after overcoming the stage that blocked thousands, he would fail at the test everyone else could pass.

Disappointment was plain on Brooks and Cameron’s faces, but Old Grant hadn’t finished speaking: “White, white means he can’t become a guardian beast warrior, but he can become a guardian beast breeder!”

Chapter 011: Our God

“What did you say, breeder?” Although Henry Bennett wasn’t a warrior, his strength and speed were in no way inferior to ordinary warriors—if not better. Hearing that the short old man wanted him to be a breeder, Henry Bennett angrily rushed over, grabbed the old man by the neck, and lifted him up!

Brooks the bishop and Cameron were both shocked. Both were prominent figures in Swallow Sea City and knew well the hierarchy within the church. Although guardian beast breeders couldn’t fight themselves and weren’t clergy, their status in the church was second only to the pontiff.

Because feeding and upgrading guardian beasts depended entirely on the rare breeders—on the Divine Continent, those qualified to be guardian beast warriors were already one in ten thousand; those qualified to be breeders were even rarer. Among ten thousand guardian beast warriors, there might not even be one breeder.

The white light represented no affinity—in other words, their relationship with guardian beasts wasn’t “affinity,” but rather, they themselves were like “guardian beasts”; their constitution was very close to that of the beasts.

If a church didn’t have enough breeders, not only would the number of guardian beast warriors plummet, but their quality couldn’t improve either, because every warrior’s advancement required a breeder’s help.

That’s why someone as unsympathetic as Old Grant was still respected by all in the Heluo Church, including Bishop Brooks and Cameron—because he was one of only two breeders in the entire church.

Hearing Old Grant say that Henry Bennett could become a breeder, Bishop Brooks and Cameron were so happy they nearly fainted: they had only hoped Henry Bennett could become an outstanding guardian beast warrior, but unexpectedly, though he couldn’t be a warrior, he could be a breeder!

Suddenly, they were pulled from hell back to heaven—yet Henry Bennett’s actions, in the blink of an eye, kicked them back down to hell. He actually threatened a breeder; if Old Grant got angry, this breeder would be lost!

“Stop!” Bishop Brooks and Grand Duchess Cameron shouted together, rushing forward to stop him. Though Grand Duchess Cameron was a woman, she was a nine-star warrior herself. She dashed to Henry Bennett’s side, grabbed the wrist of the hand holding Old Grant, and twisted hard. Pain flashed across Henry Bennett’s face, and his body involuntarily spun halfway around.

A surge of anger rose in his heart—who cares if you’re Cameron! His other hand suddenly reached behind to grab Cameron’s arm and yanked hard. With his immense strength, even a nine-star warrior like Cameron couldn’t withstand it; with one pull, she lost her grip on Henry Bennett, flying over his head through the air.

Henry Bennett didn’t know that when he first arrived in this world, the ant infected by the media virus was a very violent magical beast. That ferocity and belligerence, along with the ant’s divine power and agility, had been passed on to Henry Bennett, which was why he was so combative.

After flinging Cameron away, Henry Bennett suddenly realized—this was the elegant Grand Duchess Cameron! His agility kicked in at that moment; his body tensed and sprang, and before Grand Duchess Cameron hit the ground, he had already stretched out his arms and caught her around the waist.
