Chapter 2 Chapter 2 "This freshman class is truly filled with talent"...
Amidst the huge crowd, a boy with fiery red hair walked onto the stage.
Under everyone's gaze, he placed his hand on the spirit beast platform.
The next second, a strange-looking, ferocious-looking rat with a strong sense of restraint appeared above the spiritual platform.
The mouse had gray fur and several pairs of eyes on its body and face. There were also rat brain structures similar to snakes splitting out from both sides of its neck. The most terrifying thing was its mouth, which had four petals.
When summoned, its mouth opened and closed, as if it wanted to bite someone.
Jiang Qing was really shocked by the scene before him.
Zhu Tianba seemed to have sensed the movement outside and twisted his round body.
The mouse on the stage was surrounded by a faint purple light.
"It's a fairy-grade spirit beast!" someone in the crowd exclaimed!
Jiang Qing was stunned and looked sideways with suspicion.
Such a weird-looking mouse is actually a magical beast?
At the same time, the results of the spirit beast platform test were also displayed simultaneously.
[Spiritual Beast Name]: Undead Rat
【Attributes】: Agility/Speed/Strength
[Potential Rating]: Immortal Grade 3
[Beast Taming Level]: Human Level 10
【Mental Power】:86
[Characteristics]: Sharp perception, good at thinking, and extremely fast in action.
[Notes]: He has a bad temper, is sensitive and suspicious, and is not easy to completely subdue.
"..." Jiang Qing was silent.
It’s really a fairy product.
She is in a complicated mood now.
She obviously had a very serious misunderstanding about the levels of the exotic beasts and pets in this world.
Jiang Qing was immersed in his own world and didn't notice Zhu Tianba in the contract seal snorted in disdain.
After a while, noise began to arise from the crowd.
"He's initially rated Human Level 10! Doesn't that mean he's just one step away from the Earth Level?"
"Of course, that's an undead rat! As expected of Meng Yanlang!"
"Isn't it possible that many of the spirit pets taught in school are of the Immortal quality? He actually succeeded in the contract. Why can't I encounter such a thing?"
“…”
"Not bad!" Even the professor beside him couldn't help but admire it.
Listening to the praise from his classmates and the admiring gaze from the professor, Meng Yanlang sat up straight and silently hid his injured hand behind his back.
If people had long tails, Meng Yanlang's would probably be sticking up to the sky by now.
No one knew how much effort he put into this undead rat.
"Next!" The staff's voice drew everyone's attention back.
The spirit beast test continued, and soon it was Li Xiu's turn.
She confidently walked onto the spirit beast platform and summoned the snow rabbit again.
The white light scanned past, and the data on the screen was quickly refreshed:
[Spiritual Beast Name]: Red-Eyed Snow Rabbit
【Attribute】: Ice/Spirit
[Potential Rating]: Ordinary Grade 5
[Beast Taming Level]: Human Level 3
【Spirit】:74
[Features]: Keen perception, ice crystal shield, mental soothing.
[Notes]: Gentle temperament, good growth potential, good at reconnaissance and assistance.
Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jiang Qing in the audience, and winked at her.
It seemed to be saying: How is it? My rabbit is awesome, isn't it?
Jiang Qing received her signal, smiled indulgently, and gestured at her with his fingers: "You are so amazing!"
A mortal-rank fifth grade was already a pretty good starting point among the group of people taking the test, especially since it was an auxiliary spirit beast with spiritual attributes, which was very practical.
Li Xiu happily walked off the stage holding the snow rabbit and made a cheering gesture to Jiang Qing.
"It's your turn, hurry up!" Li Xiu urged Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing sighed inwardly and went on stage as if relieved.
She was also a little curious about what breed Zhu Tianba was.
Jiang Qing activated the seal of the contract, and a golden light flashed on his wrist.
Along with a faint, almost negligible spatial fluctuation, a pale blue, round little object appeared out of thin air in front of her.
Zhu Tianba was born less than an hour ago, and his eyes haven't even opened yet.
It had not yet fully adapted to the environment. It struggled to dig its way around the ground with its little paws, then moved its nose around curiously.
When Zhu Tianba was born, his body was covered with a layer of amniotic membrane. As soon as the amniotic membrane fell to the ground, it was stained with a lot of mud, which stuck to his body wetly. He looked a bit dirty and rustic, and was a bit out of place with this solemn and sacred spirit beast platform.
Jiang Qing picked his nose, withdrew his hand, and stepped aside boredly to wait for the result.
"Am I seeing right? That's... a domestic pig?"
"She contracted a domestic pig? There's such a thing in the Exam Forest?"
"Oh my god, this potential rating is probably not good enough to be at the first level of the mortal level, right?"
"Hahaha, this class of freshmen is truly filled with talent..."
There was a constant stream of murmuring and suppressed laughter.
"Qingqing..." Li Xiu looked at the stage worriedly from the audience. She knew it was unbelievable that Jiang Qing had contracted a pig, but these people's unwarranted ridicule was too much. She glared at them angrily, "Don't laugh! Don't laugh! What's wrong with the pig?"
Jiang Qing's expression remained calm, and she was not affected by those words. She stared at the test screen with calm eyes.
She had already made plans to terminate the contractual relationship with Zhu Tianba sooner or later. Once she found a way, she would say goodbye to Zhu Tianba completely.
So no matter what level Zhu Tianba is rated later, she can accept it.
The white light from the Spirit Beast Platform spread out, covering Zhu Tianba like a soft white curtain.
Zhu Tianba seemed to be attracted by the light. He stopped crawling temporarily, raised his head, looked at the light source curiously, and wagged his little tail.
The data on the light screen began to refresh.
However, unlike the smoothness of all previous spirit beast tests, this time, the characters on the light screen showed obvious lag and flickering.
The instructor in charge of the operation also frowned slightly.
After a few seconds, the screen finally stabilized and displayed the following information:
[Spiritual Beast Name]:? ? ? (Data matching anomaly)
【Attribute】: ? ? ? (Unable to parse)
Potential Rating: (The energy response is weak but the structure is unique, so it cannot be determined)
[Beast Taming Rating]: Human Level 1 (Initial Rating)
【Spirit】:90
【Features】:???
[Note]: An unknown energy imprint was detected in the target organism. The basic physiological structure is consistent with "Artiodactyla - Suidae cub", but there are a large number of unrecognizable gene fragments and energy fluctuation patterns.
(Summary: This spirit beast is suspected to be one of the unclassified exotic beasts. However, it is still in its juvenile stage, and its physiological characteristics are incomplete, so its characteristics cannot be fully identified. No rating has been given yet. The Beastmaster has initially classified it as Human Level 1. Continued observation is recommended, pending a subsequent re-rating.)
The entire hall fell silent in an instant.
The laughter just now stopped abruptly, replaced by stunned silence and the sound of gasps.
“??? What’s going on?”
"Unable to analyze? Unable to determine?"
"There are actually some exotic beasts that aren't listed? How bizarre."
"The Spirit Beast Test Station has never made a mistake. It says it's basically an Artiodactyl, Suidae cub, so it's probably a pig."
"My mental strength has reached 90. It's such a waste of talent to use such high mental strength to contract a piglet."
The discussion started again, but this time, it was filled with shock, confusion and disbelief.
Even Li Xiu's eyes widened. She looked at the light screen, then at the piglet on the ground who was still trying to nibble at the edge of the spirit beast platform, her mouth opened into an O shape.
Jiang Qing's gaze stopped at the column of mental power, and he raised his eyebrows first.
She remembered that the original owner had tested her mental strength before, and the result at that time was 69, which was lower than Li Xiu's.
I wonder if it’s because she merged with the original owner, which increased the strength of her soul and caused her mental power to increase so much?
To some extent, mental strength can be regarded as a beastmaster's talent value. The higher the mental value, the higher the affinity with high-level exotic beasts.
Her spirit value shows 90, which means she is quite talented.
pity.
Jiang Qing's gaze then fell on Zhu Tianba.
She anticipated that the worst result would be "Ordinary Grade One, Domestic Pig", and she also imagined that if the sow was extraordinary, Zhu Tianba might be able to get a rating like "Ordinary Grade Five, Some Kind of Exotic Pig".
But the rows of "???" and "unresolvable" before her were completely beyond her comprehension.
What is this?
System bug?
Or... is it really as the Spirit Beast Platform says? Is it because Zhu Tianba is too small to be detected?
She carefully recalled all the spirit pets that had been examined on the spirit beast platform, and it seemed that there was really no one like her, who was brought here and contracted as soon as she was born.
Jiang Qing suddenly felt relieved.
At worst, she can just keep it for a while and then take it back for retesting.
Anyway, when it comes to pig farming, she is a professional!
The middle-aged female teacher in charge of the test pushed her glasses, and her eyes behind the lenses swept sharply over Zhu Tianba, and finally fixed on Jiang Qing with deep inquiry.
She operated the light screen a few times, as if recording something, and then said to Jiang Qing in a deep voice:
"Student Jiang Qing, your contracted spirit beast is in a special situation. The test data has been recorded, but the rating cannot be determined yet. Please bring your spirit beast to my office later. We need to conduct more detailed records and preliminary observations." She pointed to a sign nearby. "Second floor, Beast Taming Research Department, Instructor Chen Ming."
Chen Ming's voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the quiet square.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Qing and the little pig that was still grunting and digging the ground.
"Okay, Teacher Chen Ming, I'll be there later." Jiang Qing took back Zhu Tianba and responded to Chen Ming's words.
As Jiang Qing walked off the stage, she could feel the gazes falling on her, some probing, some sneering.
Li Xiu immediately came over to shield her from those malicious glances: "It's okay, it's okay. Pigs are fine too. It's just those people who don't understand."
Jiang Qing paused when she heard this. She turned her head and gave Li Xiu a resentful look: "Do you really think pigs are good?"
"Of course!" Li Xiu nodded heavily, as if she was afraid Jiang Qing wouldn't believe her. She counted on her fingers and listed the pig's advantages. "First of all, look, your pig has a rare blue hair, and it looks very cute. Secondly, the Spirit Beast Platform can't measure its abilities, which just proves that it has unlimited potential!"
Jiang Qing changed his mind.
Too.
People even raise ugly mice, so why are pigs worse than mice?
"Thank you, Xiu'er~" Jiang Qing smiled with relief.
"It's okay." Li Xiu also laughed. She patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder and said, "Isn't it that Teacher Chen who's looking for you? Let's go to her office and wait."
The two of them linked arms and headed towards the Beast Taming Laboratory.
Jiang Qing has always had a strong ability to accept and adapt. Just like when her soul first came to this world, she was silent for less than three minutes before accepting the reality.
She took over the original owner's body, endured the pain, climbed out of the smelly and narrow sewer, and limped to the treatment room.
That was the school’s old teaching building, which has now been converted into a data storage room. Few people come and go there.
The original owner chose that road that day in order to take a shortcut.
Jiang Qing did not shout, because the original owner screamed at the top of his lungs before dying but no one came.
She can only save herself, and only save herself.
During those few minutes in the treatment room, her worldview changed dramatically.
At that time, her soul had not yet completely merged with the original owner, and the consciousness brought from another world temporarily prevailed.
She saw with her own eyes that the doctor just raised his hand, and some green light flew out from her wrist. Those light spots fell on her painful areas, and she felt relieved instantly.
In just a few seconds, the injuries on his body were almost healed.
Without thinking, she blurted out, "What a miracle doctor! Doctor!"
This caused the doctor who was treating her to cover her mouth and chuckle.
The doctor sighed meaningfully and said, "It's easy to treat people, but it's difficult to treat animals."
Jiang Qing was a little confused at the moment. Just when he was about to ask "what", he was immediately driven out by the doctor on the grounds that "other patients are waiting outside".
The author has something to say:

Jiang Qing: Actually, if you think about it carefully, pigs are pretty cute...
