Hu Dingbo wrote five large characters on the blackboard—

Beast Taming Theory

"Last semester we learned the basics of Beast Taming; this semester we will be learning the theoretical aspects of Beast Taming."

Hu Dingbo looked around at the students: "Can anyone tell me what the theory of Beast Taming is about?"

Cheng Huaijin had glanced at some of the textbooks beforehand, but because the supplementary exam was held very late and the textbooks were distributed very late, she hadn't had time to prepare.

She opened the first chapter of "The Theory of Beast Taming," the preface.

[*Beast Taming Theory* is an academic work exploring and researching beast taming skills and strategies. This book delves into the characteristics and abilities of various pets, and how to utilize these characteristics to enhance combat effectiveness. We hope that this book will provide theoretical support and practical guidance for readers eager to master beast taming skills.]

...Hmm, I think I understand it, but I also think I don't.

In the complete silence of the room, Song Siyun raised her hand to answer.

"Siyun, you tell us," Hu Dingbo said with satisfaction.

Song Siyun stood up: "The 'Basic Beast Taming' course mainly teaches the basic principles of beast taming. 'Theoretical Beast Taming' is an upgraded version, focusing on the theoretical foundation of beast taming, analyzing its basic principles, helping us better understand what beast taming is, how to tame beasts, how to establish a contract with our pets, and expanding our thinking, laying the foundation for future 'Advanced Beast Taming' courses."

...Hmm, I think I understood, but I also think I didn't.

Cheng Huaijin scratched his head.

Hu Dingbo nodded: "Well said. Simply put, this course will explain the basics of beast taming."

What is a pet? What is a beast tamer? How do they form a contract? How can this contract be strengthened? Besides the contract, what other relationship exists between a beast tamer and a pet?

Faced with a room full of eager eyes, Hu Dingbo smiled slightly: "These are things you might not necessarily learn in our courses."

"teacher!"

The students shouted.

"Hahaha, just kidding, everyone's so nervous, hahaha." Hu Dingbo laughed non-stop.

"Getting back to the main topic, everyone turn to page ten, let's learn something..."

Cheng Huaijin opened the textbook "Theory of Beast Taming" and sensed that something was watching her.

She turned her head to look, but only saw Xia Chouyu looking down, focused on studying.

Perhaps it's just my imagination.

Cheng Huaijin continued listening to Hu Dingbo's lecture.

A faint blue light flashed in the air, and Xia Chouyu glanced in that direction, causing the mark on her wrist to light up.

As if receiving some message, Xia Chouyu looked at Cheng Huaijin.

The glance was quick and brief; it was just a single look.

Purple lines spread from her fingertips toward her heart. Xia Chouyu let out a very soft groan, almost unnoticed by anyone.

He lowered his head, his bangs obscuring his purple eyes, and gritted his teeth, forcing the purple lines back down.

All of this happened very quickly, and no one in the classroom noticed Xia Chouyu's unusual behavior.

Xia Chouyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and glanced at Cheng Huaijin very quickly.
