Song Yu was really anxious.

She was afraid that she would not be able to persuade Qiuqiu, who wanted to be the king of the lottery every day, in a short time.

The pursuit and desire for power is almost innately engraved in the genes of every exotic beast.

Even the lowest level 0 monster still wants to become stronger every day.

Even the normally mild-mannered beasts would rush forward to fight when faced with a critical moment like a battle for territory, unless the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

These days, as the ball's level has increased, it would be impossible to release it if it weren't for its large size.

Song Yu guessed that Qiuqiu should have started fighting with Lao Song's contracted beast by now.

After passing through several red and white porcelain-walled teaching buildings, Song Yu specially found a relatively remote flower bed in the school to release the ball.

The three-meter-tall Qiuqiu was released, shaking his fur with joy. Even Qiuqiu, who had always believed in becoming a powerful warrior, was delighted to have reached the Elementary Level 3 in such a short time.

At this moment, Qiuqiu is even eager to try and wants to find other monsters of the same level to fight.

"Cough cough..." Seeing this, Song Yu coughed hurriedly to calm Qiuqiu's excitement.

"Meow?" Qiuqiu tilted his head.

"Qiuqiu, can I make a deal with you?"

"Meow?" Qiuqiu shook his ears, looking puzzled.

"Here's the thing. Today, the senior high school students are going to hold a beast taming competition..."

Song Yu's face turned serious, and he deliberately put on a serious posture: "Logically speaking, the higher your ranking in the competition, the better. But you just evolved to Level 3 in the teacher's office and stole the show..."

"Qiuqiu, I'm worried that if you take first place in the next competition, other people and other beasts will be jealous of you." Song Yu looked at the big cat affectionately: "Jealousy is the most terrible emotion in the world. It may drive these people crazy..."

Qiuqiu's body trembled: "!!!"

"As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Until you have the power to absolutely defeat everyone, keeping a low profile is the best option."

Song Yu: "Originally, this exam was to select students for next week's wilderness forest combat training... We just need to get a spot. The smartest way is to achieve the same result at the lowest cost."

Qiuqiu:? !!

Song Yu stretched out her hand and wanted to pat Qiuqiu's shoulder as she did in the past, but Qiuqiu, who had advanced to level 3, was too big, so she only patted Qiuqiu's fluffy chest.

Song Yu: “…”

Song Yu pretended nothing happened and silently withdrew his hand.

"Meow~~"

The big cat, which was more than three meters tall, lay down, and looked at Song Yu without blinking with its big round eyes that looked like copper bells.

The Snow Cat, which was only a few years old, knew for the first time that this operation was possible.

Seeing Qiuqiu in a daze, Song Yu blinked and decided to increase her efforts to continue fooling her.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she choked up as she said, "Qiuqiu, maybe you don't have to be afraid of them in the 1v1 battles at school. But many of your classmates' contracted beasts are very powerful. What if they get jealous and come back to attack you in the wilderness? There are no battle rules in the wilderness. Even if you have evolved to level 3 now, I am still worried about you..."

She was not only worried that Qiuqiu would perform well in the exam and help her break into the top 55 in the class.

At the same time, I was even more worried that Qiuqiu would lose control of his strength and kill someone else's contracted beast...

You should know that unlike the previous beast taming practical class, this beast taming practical class adopts a 1V1 battle mode.

In the beast taming practical class two days ago, she also carefully observed the situation of several classes.

Nowadays, at least 60% of the contracted beasts are still in their infancy.

Those little furry balls are not even as tall as Qiuqiu’s calves!

What if the opponent is trampled to death by the ball in a 1v1 battle?

"Meow, meow?"

Wilderness area siege, siege?

Qiuqiu opened his round cat eyes wide, swallowed, and thought of the last beast taming class, where there were four or five hundred exotic beasts on the entire playground, a huge scene.

Thinking back to these days, I read the novel about the old man with the ring...

Qiuqiu suddenly understood!

really!

In almost every novel written by the Ring Grandpa, the protagonists taught by the grandpa like to develop in a low-key manner!

He clearly has the ability to defeat other members of his tribe.

He chooses to play the pig and eat the tiger, and refuses to use his full strength until the critical moment.

It turns out that he was worried about being besieged by other contracted beasts.

"Meow! Meow!"

Don’t worry, Xiao Yu, I will keep a low profile during the competition!

The big cat paws hit the chest hard, making a loud noise, and Qiuqiu's expression was serious and earnest.

It seems that in the future it will not only have to work hard to become a peak-level 9 Snow Spirit Cat like the old man with the ring, but also need to develop in a low-key manner like the protagonist of the novel, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!

As expected of its contractor, he knows a lot!

Qiuqiu immediately looked at Song Yu with admiration.

Song Yu: “…”

Song Yu's conscience ached for a moment, but then she thought, is she the kind of serious person who needs a conscience? She is not!

As long as I have no conscience, I will never be kidnapped by conscience.

Song Yu patted Qiuqiu's cat legs, waved his big hands happily, and said loudly: "Great! Then let's go to the playground to take the exam now! Let's go!"

"Meow, meow, meow, meow~"

Qiuqiu nodded, shook his cat fur, held his head high and followed Song Yu towards the playground!

…

Not far away, Han Zhou and Bai Yuhan, who had just bought breakfast from the cafeteria and were taking a shortcut with buns in their mouths, silently looked at the backs of the man and the cat leaving in front of them, with no expression on their faces.

"Oh my god, during the beast taming class a few days ago, Song Yu's contracted beast from Class 5 only had two tails. And in the blink of an eye, it evolved to level 3 and grew a third tail? That's incredible, right?" Han Zhou took a bite of his bun, slowly turned his head to look at Bai Yuhan, and sighed, "I remember the armored Tyrannosaurus Rex you bred seemed to have just entered its growth stage this month..."

"Um……"

Bai Yuhan nodded, slowly retracted his gaze from Qiuqiu, and said calmly, "She is indeed quite amazing."

How could someone who awakens an SSSSSSS level beast-taming space not be powerful?

I thought my friend was a little depressed because of the blow.

Han Zhou pondered for a moment, then patted Bai Yuhan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, brother. Although your Xiao Hei has just entered the growth stage, he was already a Level 1 exotic beast right after entering the growth stage, which means that he should be able to advance quickly in the future. I heard that Song Yu's snow spirit cat was still Level 0 when it first entered the growth stage."

This is the case with high-potential beasts. Not only is the speed and difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks much faster than low-potential beasts, they can even directly enter level 1 and level 2 as soon as they enter the growth stage from infancy. Some beasts with higher bloodline levels can even directly enter level 3 as soon as they reach adulthood.

Compared to low-level exotic beasts, high-bloodline exotic beasts are indeed more powerful.

"Thank you, I'm not sad."

Bai Yuhan slapped away the hand that had secretly taken the opportunity to steal the buns from his breakfast bag and said calmly, "I just think that some of the other party's views coincide with mine."

Before you have absolute strength, keeping a low profile is indeed the safest approach.

Because he didn't steal the buns and was slapped hard by his brother, Han Zhou wasn't interested in listening to Bai Yuhan's words. He patted his half-full stomach and stalked towards the playground. "Alright, alright, I don't care what you think. Let's get to the playground quickly. Xiaopang just texted me saying they've started the 1v1 match."

…

On the playground.

Students from various classes have already rushed from the classroom to the playground.

The teachers of the Beast Taming Practice Class had already built a number of circular arenas using earth-type contracted beasts.

It is very similar to the fighting arena in the previous physical combat class, but the area is much larger than the arena, enough to accommodate contracted beasts that are two or three meters tall for fighting.

Song Yu carefully observed the competition stage and scratched his head: "Why do I feel that this competition stage is not fair to flying contracted beasts?"

Although the temporary competition platform is large enough to accommodate two or three-meter-long contracted beasts to fight on the platform, compared with those agile flying birds, these temporary competition platforms are not impressive enough.

"How is it unfair? Even though a Contracted Beast loses if it leaves the stage, flying Contracted Beasts can soar high into the sky and swoop down, while ground-based Contracted Beasts can't attack them... If you're talking about unfairness, I think it's even more unfair to ground-based Contracted Beasts."

Zhou Ting watched the fierce battle on the stage, her heartbeat also slowly accelerating. She continued with some annoyance, "Speaking of which, I had been planning to take my contracted beast to a street tournament this week to find someone to fight. But I didn't expect that the school exams would start before I even started. I don't know if I can make it into the top 55 in the class this time."

Street races, gym races, competitive races...

In this world where contracted beasts are everywhere, various stadiums and gyms have emerged. However, those who usually compete in the stadiums are at least contracted beasts that have entered their growth stage. If a young beast goes on the opposite platform, not to mention the trouble of getting injured, the opponent cannot even control his skills well and can basically only use pure physical attacks. Such a battle is basically nothing to watch.

Therefore, except for some young alien beasts who are naturally better at hand-to-hand combat and will enter the arena early to fight against other alien beasts, most of them will either wait until the growth period, or the contractors will buy peace of mind and sharpen their weapons before the battle.

Zhou Ting's contracted beast is still a little bit away from entering the growth stage, so she is very nervous about today's game.

"You will definitely pass the exam!"

Song Yu patted Zhou Ting and consoled her, "Basically, most high school seniors' initial beasts need to undergo training in the wilderness before they can enter their growth stage. Your initial contracted beast is already stronger than many others."

After being comforted by her deskmate, Zhou Ting calmed down a lot and was about to speak.

A tall figure suddenly stood next to them.

Zhang Guoping tapped Song Yu's shoulder with a file board, his expression serious.

Song Yu turned around and asked cautiously, "...? Is it Teacher Zhang's turn to compete with me?"

But she remembered that there seemed to be quite a few people ahead of her in the student number.

But Song Yu took a deep breath.

As the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long pain. Since we have to compete, we might as well start early.

However, just when Song Yu was about to summon the ball...

"no."

Zhang Guoping shook his head and interrupted Song Yu's call.

Zhang Guoping was tall and burly, like a small mountain. He looked down at Song Yu and said, "I just came to inform you that you don't have to take the exam today."

Song Yu: ???

Zhang Guoping: "You got a perfect score of 100 in the Beast Taming Practice Class."

Song Yu: ...

"According to the original plan... every student's contracted beast in our class will have three battles. The test is divided into 25 points. Each victory will add 25 points, and no points will be awarded for losses."

"But your contracted beast is too high. Besides yours, the highest level in Class 5 is Intermediate 1."

"I'm worried that their contracted beasts will be seriously injured if they fight against yours."

"Today, more than 4,000 students in the school who have initial exotic beasts will participate in a beast taming competition. There will also be a physical competition in the afternoon... The school doctor is too busy, and we teachers need to try our best to reduce the burden on the school doctor." Zhang Guoping muttered, explaining why Song Yu was not needed to participate in the competition.

But these words were like a bolt from the blue to Song Yu's ears, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Song Yu's pupils dilated in disbelief.

No, not really…

Qiuqiu and I had agreed that we must lose at least one of the next three games. How come I got full marks for no reason?

Then didn’t she discuss this with Qiuqiubai before?

"Teacher Zhang, I think this is unfair to other students. Why don't you let me participate in the competition as well?" Song Yu felt that she could still save herself, so she raised her hand with slight trembling and spoke boldly, trying to fight for benefits for herself.

"no--!!"

“Absolutely not—!!!”

Four or five screams suddenly came from the side, and Song Yu almost trembled with fright.

She turned her head stiffly...

The students from Class 5 who were originally standing next to her all pricked up their ears and excitedly refused Song Yu to participate in the competition.

Zhou Ting, standing nearby, was particularly righteous. "Teacher Zhang, I think you're right! Our class can't cause any more trouble for the school doctors! The most important thing is, Song Yu's contracted beast is already a Level 3 beginner. What if they accidentally kill two juvenile beasts? ...So, a dangerous person like this... ahem, no... I mean, for an activist like this, we think she's more than qualified to get full marks! She deserves it! Well-deserved!"

Song Yu: “…”

Please return the comfort I gave you before!
