Chapter 64 Chapter 64 "Please give me some advice, Principal!"...
At the entrance of the training ground, the crowd automatically separated into a passage. All the students, including Zhao Peng who was just muttering nervously and Zuo Ye who was pretending to be calm, held their breath and looked in that direction with burning eyes.
Jiang Qing also stood on tiptoe out of curiosity, and saw a tall figure walking in slowly, followed by a group of class teachers from the Combat Department.
She was wearing the special uniform of a tutor at the Fifth Beast Taming Academy, but she looked more casual and free-spirited than the others. There was a sense of majesty between her eyebrows, and when her mouth did not move, it always seemed as if she was smiling.
No need for further introduction, everyone knows her.
Unlike Shen Zhien who is serious, Ji Changsu's majesty comes more from the strength of his own abilities.
Her appearance brought with it a magical magnetic field that instantly attracted everyone's attention, making the originally noisy training ground so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone's eyes automatically followed her figure.
A pure white spirit pet is lying on Ji Changsu's shoulder today.
The snow-white, furry little beast looks like a lion cub, but has strange protrusions like deer antlers. Its eyes are clear and transparent, as if they contain endless wisdom.
It yawned lazily, tilted its head, and looked curiously at the group of excited human cubs below.
"Is this the principal's pet Bai Ze?" The knowledgeable student exclaimed in a low voice, his tone full of surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whispers around him spread like a tide, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and awe.
Ji Changsu's eyes swept across the entire room, and seemed to linger for a fraction of a second in the direction of Jiang Qing and Zhu Tianba. His eyes were deep, with a hint of inquiry and expectation that others could not understand.
Bai Zetuanzi on her shoulder also blinked, and when his eyes passed over Zhu Tianba, a barely perceptible light seemed to flash across his eyes.
As if he had noticed that he was being stared at, Zhu Tianba, who had been staying obediently at Jiang Qing's feet, suddenly became a little agitated. He raised his head, stared at the Bai Ze with his amber eyes, and made a very light "kang kang" sound in his throat.
It doesn't perceive a threat from the other's behavior, it only observes.
Jiang Qing heard the noise and looked towards Zhu Tianba. Amid the noisy voice, Zhu Tianba did not express any other emotions.
"Hello, Principal!" I don't know who took the lead, but deafening greetings echoed in unison throughout the training ground, full of enthusiasm.
Ji Changsu nodded slightly in response.
She walked to the center of the venue. Her voice was cool and calm, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly: "Everyone seems to be in high spirits."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's heart suddenly became nervous.
What does this mean, Principal?
Without any unnecessary nonsense or explanation, Ji Changsu went straight to the point, and dozens of class teachers voluntarily stepped behind her.
Ji Changsu said, "The Five Academies' melee is imminent. Your personal strength, coordination with your spirit pets, and on-the-spot response will all face the most rigorous tests. I will only offer three points of guidance today."
Finally the long-awaited part has arrived!
“Wow wow wow!!”
The students were so happy that they all pricked up their ears immediately.
Even the spirit pets in the audience seemed to sense the solemn atmosphere and became quiet.
What is the purpose of everyone choosing to contract a spirit pet and become a beastmaster? It is to break through the boundaries of being human, transcend the confines of flesh and blood, and touch and master the unattainable extraordinary power.
Ji Changsu is the person standing at the top.
After fantasizing and looking forward to it for so long, how can I not be excited if I finally meet the real instructor?
"First, perception."
Ji Changsu's voice reached everyone's ears clearly. A faint white halo slowly appeared on the Bai Ze Tuanzi on her shoulder. "The way of taming beasts is based on contracts, but true understanding comes from a deeper perception that transcends the contract. Don't just rely on instructions. Feel its emotions, its energy flow, and even its 'thoughts.'"
As she spoke, her eyes seemed to accidentally sweep over Jiang Qing again.
Jiang Qing's heart moved, remembering that he and Zhu Tianba often did not just rely on verbal instructions, but more of a feeling of telepathy.
The students below were all taking notes in unison and listening to her attentively.
"Second, evolution."
Ji Changsu's voice was calm as he continued, "The potential of your spirit pets far exceeds your imagination. Don't be bound by inherent rank or racial rating. Every accumulation of energy, every insight gained in battle, even every violent emotional fluctuation, could be an opportunity for evolution."
These words made many students think deeply, especially those whose spirit pet ratings were not originally top-notch, and hope was rekindled in their eyes.
Jiang Qing also started thinking subconsciously.
"Third," Ji Changsu's voice rose slightly, "and the most important point is 'original intention'."
The Bai Ze dumpling on her shoulder let out a soft whimper, as if responding, "Strong power requires an equally strong heart to control it. Why do you fight? Why do you become stronger? Lost in power, it will only backfire on you."
Her words had a power that struck people's hearts, causing some students who had originally only wanted to make a name for themselves in the melee to look thoughtful.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wall on the west side of the training ground, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened up.
As the light gradually brightened, a huge building similar to the Star-Suppressing Tower appeared in front of everyone.
“!!!”
All the students present had no idea that there was such a large fighting stage hidden behind the training ground where they trained every day.
"Okay, enough theory." Ji Changsu smiled slightly, and that smile diluted the previous serious atmosphere. She jumped lightly and easily jumped onto the Star-Suppressing Platform.
Ji Changsu: "Now, let's have a practical demonstration. Who wants to be the first to try it?"
The whole audience fell silent.
Fighting against a principal who has reached the maximum level of Heavenly Rank?
Even if it's just a demonstration, the pressure is too great!
We are all just little Karami.
Zhao Peng was eager to try, but when he looked at the mysterious Bai Ze on Ji Changsu's shoulder, he felt a little scared.
On the other side, Meng Yanlang and Huo Qiushan were still hesitating.
At this moment, Ji Changsu's eyes fell precisely on Jiang Qing, and with a hint of teasing, "Classmate Jiang Qing, I saw you were having a great time talking to your white-haired scaly pig just now. Why don't we start with you? Let me see the results of your training in Wind Whisper Canyon."
She emphasized the four words "white-haired and scaly pig".
With a "swish", everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Qing.
There is curiosity, envy, jealousy, and sympathy.
Why does Principal Ji Changsu know Jiang Qing?
And who is Jiang Qing?
Isn't the White-Haired Scaled Pig a Level One Ordinary Spiritual Beast? This...this...this difference is huge!
Jiang Qing was also shocked: "!!!"
She didn't expect the principal to call her out directly, and she suddenly felt under great pressure. The memory of the seven-day crash course was still replaying in her mind, and the scenes of being beaten by the principal in those years automatically emerged.
Jiang Qing really didn't want to go through this again.
But looking at Ji Changsu's eyes full of encouragement and meaning, and then looking at Bai Zetuanzi who was staring at Principal Ji's shoulder at his feet, and Zhu Tianba with eager eyes, she took a deep breath and stood up.
"Please give me some advice, Principal!"
Zhu Tianba also took a step forward, crouched slightly, and let out a low growl: "Release the beast!"
The Bai Zetuanzi on Ji Changsu's shoulder jumped down gently and landed on the ground. Its body was still small and cute, but its eyes became focused.
"Let's start." Ji Changsu said calmly.
Jiang Qing thought of his previous memories and without hesitation, he immediately ordered: "Tianba, fold the space, disrupt!"
Tianba's abilities are constantly growing and improving. Compared to a few months ago, her abilities have improved a lot.
Ji Changsu also had this purpose.
During the summer vacation, Zhu Tianba absorbed another beast core source of power, so he should be much stronger than before.
The spatial force around Zhu Tianba fluctuated, and his figure instantly disappeared from his original position and appeared behind Bai Ze. At the same time, an invisible spatial pressure enveloped him, which was the combination of the application of spatial jumping and domain-suppressing abilities.
However, Bai Ze just raised his eyelids slightly, and a white light flashed on his body. The oppressive force of space disappeared without a trace, like a drop in the ocean.
It didn't even move, but just tilted its head to look at Zhu Tianba, as if curious about its movements.
"What a strong ability to resolve conflicts!" Huoqiushan exclaimed.
Jiang Qing was startled and immediately changed his tactics, "Rock Thrust, block the movement!"
Several stone spikes suddenly shot out from around Bai Ze.
"Jiang Qing's reaction was also very quick!" Meng Yanlang said from the side.
Bai Ze remained calm and composed. He jumped lightly, seemingly casually, but accurately avoided the tips of all the stone spikes and landed on the only safe spot with an elegant and calm posture.
It didn't even launch any attack, but just looked at Zhu Tianba, occasionally making a slight "yo yo" sound, as if commenting.
Zhu Tianba's attacks failed several times, and his desire to win suddenly surged up. Green light flashed around him, and the diamond-shaped mark on his forehead became more and more dazzling.
Jiang Qing could feel that Zhu Tianba's energy was fluctuating violently, and an unprecedented impulse came through the contract mark.
It wants to use the new and unstable space-tearing force!
"Tianba, calm down!" Jiang Qing hurriedly communicated through thoughts.
But Zhu Tianba seemed to be stimulated by Bai Ze's calm attitude. He growled and stomped his front hooves on the ground. A tiny black space crack suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ze.
The students watching exclaimed in surprise!
Ji Changsu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Just when the crack was about to touch Bai Ze's fur, Bai Ze finally moved.
Instead of dodging, it raised one of its front paws, with the tip of the paw surrounded by a pure and soft white light, and gently touched the black crack.
There was no earth-shattering explosion. The crack in space that was strong enough to tear steel apart disappeared silently like wrinkles flattened by an iron.
After Bai Ze finished all this, he called out to the dazed Zhu Tianba softly: "Yo~"
The next moment, its voice rushed to Jiang Qing at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to catch. When Jiang Qing and Zhu Tianba defended themselves, it was too late.
Jiang Qing was thrown out by the powerful inertia and fell in an extremely stupid posture, falling flat on his face...
This scene is so ugly.
Ji You: “…”
Zhu Tianba immediately rushed out to protect his master and showed an angry expression towards Bai Ze.
Ji Changsu, who had been standing still, suddenly took action and controlled the angry Zhu Tianba.
Jiang Qing tried to turn over, but found that he was also pinned down.
This scene is so embarrassing.
Jiang Qing felt a little embarrassed.
The whole place fell into dead silence, and even the sound of a pin drop could be heard.
The students who were just excited about the principal's guidance now subconsciously held their breath, with a bit of sympathy in their eyes, but they didn't dare to look directly at him.
After all, no one could bear the social demise of falling so miserably in front of the principal who was admired by the whole school.
Jiang Qing felt like an insect pinned to a specimen board, publicly executed before the eyes of the entire audience. Her cheeks burned, and she wished she could order Zhu Tianba to dig a hole and bury her right there.
Ji Changsu's gaze swept over her calmly. There was no mockery in that look, but rather a kind of scrutinizing concentration. Bai Ze Tuanzi, who was resting on her shoulder, lightly jumped back onto her shoulder. He tilted his head, and his clear eyes reflected Jiang Qing's embarrassed figure and the restless Zhu Tianba beside him.
"It seems that in addition to perception, evolution, and the heart, I have to add one more thing." Ji Changsu's voice rang out again, clearly reaching everyone's ears, and like a needle, it awakened the frozen air in the audience. "In any situation, protect yourself first. The battle between beastmasters is never just a confrontation between spirit pets."
Her gaze returned to Jiang Qing, with a subtle hint of meaning in it: "An opponent will never attack only your pet. Your own vulnerability is often the most fatal breakthrough point. Jiang Qing, you need to improve on this aspect."
Jiang Qing's face burned hot as she struggled to free herself from the feeling of being held down by an invisible force, only to find herself unable to move. Zhu Tianba growled anxiously at her feet, his body shimmering with azure light as he tried to resist the force that held him captive. The diamond-shaped mark on his forehead flickered.
Ji Changsu seemed to remember something and raised his finger slightly.
The invisible pressure on Jiang Qing and Zhu Tianba disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Qing gasped for breath and scrambled to her feet, brushing off the dust. She could barely lift her head. Zhu Tianba immediately leaned over and rubbed his head against hers, letting out a worried hum.
"Thank you for your guidance, Principal." Jiang Qing's voice was as quiet as a mosquito, and he just wanted to disappear immediately.
A suppressed whisper echoed in the training ground, a mixture of sympathy and a hint of gloating.
Zhao Peng opened his mouth wide, and Zuo Ye also looked surprised, as if they didn't expect the principal to be so...ruthless right from the start.
Ji Changsu, however, acted as if he had only done something insignificant. He turned his gaze towards the entire audience and said, "Did you all see that? This is any accident that might happen in actual combat. Now, who else wants to experience it?"
The whole audience fell silent again.
That move just now not only knocked Jiang Qing down, but also destroyed the courage of most people who were eager to try.
Going up against the principal was too stressful.
Ji Changsu waited for a few seconds. Seeing no response, he didn't force it and said calmly, "Since there's no one, then everyone, divided into teams, will conduct confrontation exercises. Focus on the four points I just mentioned: perception, evolutionary opportunities, determination of one's heart, and the Beastmaster's self-protection."
She paused and added, "I will inspect and guide with Bai Ze."
With one command, the training ground immediately became lively.
The students called out their teammates, summoned their pets, and each found a place to start practicing.
The noise, the roar of the spirit pets, and the sound of skills colliding instantly filled the entire space.
Jiang Qing and the others quickly gathered together.
Zhao Peng looked at Jiang Qing's ears, which were still red. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare. After holding it in for a long time, he said, "Qingqing, that was quite sudden."
Jiang Qing exhaled a breath of foul air and rubbed his still numb knees: "Stop talking, and practice quickly."
She doesn't want to be the center of attention anymore.
Zhu Tianba nudged her palm with his nose, his eyes full of fighting spirit. It was obvious that he didn't take the previous defeat to heart and just wanted to get back at her immediately.
Several people quickly got into the state.
During practice, Jiang Qing paid special attention to her positioning, always keeping herself out of the attack range of the opponent's pet, or leaving a safe distance so that Zhu Tianba could instantly transfer her.
Ji Changsu's move taught her a solid lesson.
As expected, Ji Changsu took Bai Ze Tuanzi and slowly patrolled the venue.
When she passed by, she would sometimes say a word or two of advice, and sometimes she would just watch quietly for a while.
Bai Ze Tuanzi lay on her shoulder, and his clear eyes swept over each spirit pet, occasionally lingering for a moment on a spirit pet with good potential. The spirit pet being stared at by him would often perform more diligently, or show some energy fluctuations that were not usually there.
Ji Changsu's gaze fell on Zhu Tianba, and a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, which was a mixture of inquiry and expectation.
The corners of her lips seemed to curl up, but then seemed not to. In the end, she said nothing and walked away slowly.
The training time passed quickly, and most people collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, with their spirit pets lying beside them, panting heavily.
The high-intensity confrontation and the pressure of being "favored" by the principal at any time to provide guidance have drained their energy.
Ji Changsu walked back to the center of the venue, and Bai Ze Tuanzi was still lazily lying on her shoulder, spotless.
"That concludes today's instruction." Her gaze swept across the room, taking in everyone's exhaustion. "Remember how you felt today. The path to becoming a Beastmaster is destined to be more arduous and more sudden than this. These four points I've mentioned must be ingrained in your bones."
Without any unnecessary nonsense, she turned around and left with Bai Ze.
It was not until the figure completely disappeared from the entrance that the training ground erupted in huge discussions and sighs of relief.
"Oh my god, it's finally over..."
"The principal's aura is so strong that I dare not even breathe!"
"But what a reward! My Flametail Monkey seems to have gained even more control over fire energy!"
"Me too! I feel like my rapport with the Golden Leopard has improved a lot!"
Jiang Qing rubbed his sore arm and looked at Zhu Tianba, who was tired but had bright eyes, and his heart was filled with fulfillment.
Although the opening was a social failure, the subsequent practice, especially Zhu Tianba's autonomous and precise spatial interception, made her see more possibilities.
It was almost dusk when we left the training ground.
Back in the dormitory, Jiang Qing remembered that he hadn't logged into the hidden Beast Tamer Forum for a long time.
When the familiar ID [No money for food] popped up on the login interface, she couldn't help but hold her forehead and put the matter of changing the ID on the agenda again.
