Mu Chuyue stayed in the Dongwan Cemetery until late at night, and only left when it was getting light, yawning.

This place is closer to the small apartment she rents next to the school. She has been living in the gym's dormitory recently. She returned to the apartment after a long absence and prepared to catch up on some sleep.

Ellen's evolution also brought her considerable feedback as a beastmaster.

The World Tree in the Beast Taming Space became more luxuriant, and Mu Liuyue's physical condition also improved.

The contract with the undead pet gave her a certain regenerative healing ability. Although it was not to the level of the [Reconstruction] skill, it was far faster than the self-healing speed of ordinary humans.

Now, even if she wanders alone in the secret realm, she won't get hurt as easily as before.

It was easy for Mu Chuyue to digest these physical feedbacks during sleep. She slept until dinner time that night. She was awakened by the feeling of hunger and smelled a tempting aroma wafting from the kitchen.

Rubbing his eyes, Mu Chuyue put on his slippers and walked to the kitchen door.

The tall and straight white skeleton, wearing her lace apron, was cooking delicious soup, leaving Mu Huoyue with a virtuous and reliable back.

The little cloud dog squatted at his feet, watching the card soldier's movements with expectant eyes, its cirrus-shaped tail shaking unconsciously behind it, obviously also attracted by the aroma of the broth.

Hearing Mu Shuyue's footsteps, Eren, who was holding the soup spoon, turned around and made a gentle clicking sound.

"Crack, crack." (Hiiragi wakes up just in time. I can drink it right away.)

Mu Shuyue sat down at the dining table and, like White Fang, was looking forward to Eren's cooking skills after his evolution.

The soup made from bombarded white milk was soon served on the table. Finely chopped parsley floated on the snow-white soup, exuding a rich aroma that made people's mouths water.

Ellen also provided the beastmaster with bread to dip into the soup, which was carefully cut into easy-to-pick-up sizes and served on a separate plate.

The portion for White Fang was not so elaborate. It was simply and practically filled in a large bowl and handed to it.

But the puppy didn't care about these fancy details. After taking the first lick, he didn't care about his image anymore. He just swallowed it with big mouthfuls, almost burying his face in the soup bowl.

Mu Chuyue couldn't help but take a big sip, and then he was completely shocked.

To be frank, Ellen's cooking skills are about twenty blocks better than hers.

If Miss Mu's cooking skills are just basically edible home-cooked dishes, then the apron-wearing skeleton in front of her is undoubtedly the chef of a five-star hotel.

"Kadaka?" (How does it taste?)

The clicking of the card soldiers had a nervous shyness to it.

His impression of human food all came from Mu Huoyue, and he couldn't cook any high-end dishes. He could only use the existing ingredients in the refrigerator to make a simple stew that the Beastmaster often made.

"Super delicious!" Mu Chuyue took another big sip and squinted her eyes happily.

"Woof!" The white-haired puppy with milk on its nose raised its head to show its high agreement.

The card soldier's jaw opened slightly, revealing a smile that belonged to a skeleton.

After eating and drinking, Ellen also took on the job of cleaning up and washing the dishes. Mu Huiyue lay on the sofa, watching the apron-wearing skeleton busying in and out, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

Although Eren had always loved helping her with housework before... he became way too considerate after his evolution.

I wonder where he developed such superb cooking skills?

Normally, the intelligence of extraordinary creatures evolves along with their racial level and growth stage.

As a little skeleton, Eren was just like an ignorant child, but after evolving into a card-tooth soldier of the monarch race, he gave people the impression of being a completely reliable and decent adult.

Some of his characteristics that are different from his peers are also more obvious, such as his elegant posture at all times and his amazing cooking skills.

...Maybe it was the special experience in the secret realm of the Star Dragon Earl's Mansion before?

Mu Liuyue thought to herself that after all, the little skeleton was willing to actively approach humans and even take risks to obtain the core of the secret realm. From the very beginning, it was much smarter and more agile than its own kind.

Speaking of the secret realm, Mu Huoyue finally remembered that when she just woke up, she seemed to see a missed call message on the investigator's bracelet.

She opened the communication interface of the bracelet and found that the person who sent the message was Xiang Xun, the only contact in her address book. He sent several messages while she was asleep.

[Xiang Xun: I just saw the card-tooth soldiers of the lower monarch race appear in the internal database? ! 】

【Xiang Xun: Could it be that your little skeleton has evolved? 】

【Xiang Xun: I guess it must be you.】 】

[Xiang Xun: I have never seen a little skeleton with more potential than Eren. 】

Mu Huoyue raised her eyebrows and looked at her information record on the bracelet. As expected, she received the reward points issued by the Affairs Bureau for including new records in the illustrations.

It turns out that not only discovering new species, but also recording existing species of different races and levels will be considered as new discoveries in the atlas, giving the Bureau bonus points.

In other words, in the database of the Affairs Bureau, Eren is the first Pai Ya soldier to evolve into a monarch race.

Although this was already expected, confirming this still made Mu Huoyue feel good.

Her Ellen was indeed the best card player.

Along with the reward points, there is also a window for submitting additional records of follow-up information.

If Mu Huoyue can provide a detailed and stable evolution method, the rating of the entire skeleton race will change.

After all, every stable evolution route into a monarch race is a valuable productive force, not to mention an originally worthless low-level elite race like the Skeletons.

However, Eren's situation is rather special. Mu Shuyue still doesn't know whether there is any reason behind his evolution into a monarch race and the change of his core talent skills due to the "Fairy Ranch Story" system, so he is not planning to submit the evolution information for the time being.

Only Xiang Xun, who had seen Ellen, could guess that it was her little skeleton that evolved.

Mu Huoyue thought about it and sent a communication request to Xiang Xun.

The other party answered the call quickly, and Xiang Xun's face appeared in the video frame, still with that exhausted look on his face.

The long scarf was wrapped around his shoulders and neck, covering most of his chin, making him look as if he was about to sink into the scarf.

"…Give me a message now. Is that the monarch race's card-tooth soldier really Eren?"

Xiang Xun spoke in a slightly hoarse voice. After receiving Mu Huiyue's communication, he became more certain of his previous guess.

Upon hearing his name, the apron skeleton appeared beside Mu Huiyue, revealing a perfectly shaped skull and eye sockets burning with blue flames in the communication frame.

“Click.”

"It's Eren, for sure. To be honest, I'm also surprised that Eren can evolve into a monarch race at this stage..." said Mu Huoyue.

"Secret realm investigators always encounter some rare opportunities." Xiang Xun nodded, without further investigation, "My Hana also broke through the limit of her race, evolving from a mid-level elite flower mantis to a mid-level monarch race flower mantis."

"Anyway, you will participate in the national ranking competition for the professional joint examination, right? With a monarch race pet, you can also be a little competitive in the rankings..."

As Xiang Xun spoke, he seemed to recall some unpleasant experiences, and his tired brows furrowed slightly.

"There is less than a month left. Work hard and don't let those brats from Hongzhou outdo you."

Hongzhou is located in the southeast of Xingzhou, not too far away. The most famous place there is Hongzhou University.

If Mu Liuyue remembered correctly, Hongzhou University was the champion of the previous national competition, and the outstanding high school students in the province who could participate in the national qualifying competition would most likely enter Hongzhou University in the future and become strong competitors of Capital University where Xiang Xun was located in the national competition.

"I'll do my best." Mu Yuyue nodded and said, "You're also going to start preparing for the national competition, right?"

"The preliminary round has already begun."

Speaking of this, Xiang Xun's tired eyes brightened up a bit, "All the matches will be broadcast live online, wait and see me fighting bravely."

Mu Chuyue couldn't help but smile. Xiang Xun's tired office boy look was indeed more due to the characteristics of his beast taming talent. Deep down, he was actually a young college student who loved battles and was curious about exploring secret realms.

After ending the call, Mu Huoyue took out his tablet and opened the APP of a well-known video website. On the homepage was a huge poster promoting the national competition schedule.

The annual national competition lasts about three months. Most of the contestants represent their own universities, fighting clubs and other organizations. There are few individual beastmasters who directly participate in the competition.

The schedule will start with preliminary selections in each province and state, after which the top 32 will be selected for the group stage, and finally the quarter-finals will be held.

It is still in the early stages of preliminary selection, and the popularity of the game is average. Most people will choose to watch the exciting battle clips during the preliminary round.

Mu Huoyue quickly found the part about Xiang Xun. He was a popular player in the Capital University Battle Club in the past two years. In addition to this year's preliminary round clips, he also had a collection of many exciting battle clips from previous years.

She clicked on the video of this year's preliminary competition. On the battlefield, the beautiful mantis raised its sickle blade, and its body was so fast that even the camera couldn't catch it.

I saw a black shadow flash, and under the sharp edge of the sword, the opponents fell to the ground one after another, and the live commentary in the background was so excited that he was hoarse.

"One vs. Three!! Xiang Xun and his Flower Praying Mantis once again achieved an amazing one vs. three!!"

"On this battlefield, no one can stop the sharpness of the Yi Zi Zhan—!"

"Let us congratulate contestant Xiang Xun and the Capital University he represents for successfully passing the Jingzhou regional preliminaries!"

The whole audience cheered. Xiang Xun and the Flower-Pickling Mantis raised their right arms and right sickles at the same time and waved to the audience.

Then, they walked towards each other, the human's hand clapped hands with the mantis's sickle blade, and both the man and the pet showed bright smiles with their fighting spirit still there.

Seeing this scene, Mu Liuyue felt her heart warming up slightly.

The victory she had achieved with her contracted partners filled her heart with longing.

She also wants to stand on such a field.

“Click.”

"Woof!"

At some point, Xiao Yunquan and Pai Yabing gathered around the Beastmaster and watched the battle in the video with her.

After witnessing Xiang Xun and the Flower-Pickling Mantis high-five in victory, both of them couldn't help but make sounds full of fighting spirit.

Mu Shuyue hugged them, one on each side, and smiled slightly, "Our goal now is the national qualifying competition for the professional assessment. Let's work hard together, Allen and White Fang!"
