Qiuqiu had evolved to Level 3, becoming twice as large as before. His muscular form was streamlined, slender and firm, imbuing him with an unparalleled explosive power. With the slightest movement of his limbs, his entire body emanated the crackling sound of expanding bones. His towering stature and imposing aura were even more formidable than before, like a sword about to be unsheathed. His brilliance was no longer concealed, and his three white tails, which swung from time to time, creating gusts of wind, instantly captured the attention of everyone present!
As a low-level bloodline exotic beast, the Snow Spirit Cat usually has a gentle personality and a beautiful appearance. Even though its combat power is not high, it can still serve as a companion pet and help some families take care of children and the elderly.
Therefore, there are many contractors who raise Snow Spirit Cats in the city. Even in this office right now, there are many teachers who have someone who has raised a Snow Spirit Cat...
However, this moment.
After seeing Qiuqiu evolve to Level 3, many teachers were shocked and couldn't help but subconsciously compare Qiuqiu with other Snow Spirit Cats they had seen...
But it would have been better if we hadn't compared them. Once we did, we found that if it weren't for Qiuqiu's snow-white fur, just from the appearance and body shape.
Qiuqiu and ordinary snow cats seem like two different species of exotic beasts.
One looks like a tiger and the other looks like a cat.
"But how come he reached level 3 in just three months?"
The teachers in the office were shocked, and they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
You know, even among the students in the senior class this year who have contracted insect-like monsters, only a small number have advanced to the first level.
After all, it takes a long time for a young beast to evolve from its infancy to its adult stage.
Not to mention that it would be even more difficult to break through the blood bottleneck and climb up.
generally.
In the public's view, apart from external factors, the growth rate of alien beasts is often determined by the type of alien beast race.
For example, insectoid beasts have short lifespans, so their transition from infancy to growth is naturally shortened. Plantoid beasts, on the other hand, have slower growth and development, so their infancy and lifespan are often several times that of ordinary beasts.
However, the speed of advancement and combat effectiveness of alien beasts, apart from external factors, depends more on the potential value of the alien beasts!
The higher the potential value, the faster the advancement speed and the stronger the combat effectiveness.
For example, at the same level, insectoid beasts are most likely to be defeated by tigers and bears. However, if some insectoid beasts have higher potential, they can often defeat them.
But the Snow Cat is a mammalian feline creature, and its growth rate is neither fast nor slow.
This snow cat has the lowest potential value ever officially recorded, and the contractor's beast-taming space is only F-level.
There shouldn't be such a fast advancement speed.
"Well……"
Many teachers in the office were happy for Song Yu, but they couldn't help but frown.
Even if the Song family has the money to buy rare treasures, the advancement speed of the contracted beasts must be reasonable, okay?
If a strange beast forcibly consumes natural treasures that exceed its physical limits, even if it is a powerful dragon-like beast, it will end up with its meridians severed and its body exploded to death!
so……
I can’t figure it out. I can’t figure it out.
A group of teachers in the office scratched their heads but couldn't figure it out.
How could it be that the first contracted beast in the senior class that advanced to level 3 this year was a snow spirit cat with low-level bloodline?
You have to know that in previous years, even if a student’s contracted beast advanced to level 3, it would not happen until after next year.
And basically, the contracted beasts that can advance to the third level during the college entrance examination are those with a potential score of at least 80!
A group of teachers couldn't figure it out and just gave up.
To put it bluntly, Song Yu is a student of their school after all. If the students of their school become successful, they, the teachers, will also be proud.
But at this time...
Old man Sun was numb, and his slightly cloudy eyes widened subconsciously.
As an expert who has spent most of his life studying exotic beasts, Old Man Sun felt that the evolution of the snow cat in front of him went against his common sense!
"The Snow Spirit Cat is a well-known low-bloodline species... The biggest problem with low-bloodline exotic beasts is their generally low potential and extremely slow evolution! Even if an ordinary contractor cultivates one for thirty or forty years, they may not be able to advance to the third level!"
"Even if this Snow Spirit Cat is a rare mutant...mutations can't change the problem of low-blooded races, slow evolution, and difficulty in evolution!"
"The most important thing is that this student's Beast Taming Space is also at the lowest level, F-grade. He has no ability to accelerate the growth of exotic beasts... Otherwise, ordinary people who contracted low-potential exotic beasts would have become professional Beast Tamers in large numbers long ago!"
"Could it be that the guy who originally assessed the Snow Spirit Cat's potential made a misjudgment?" Looking at the Snow Spirit Cat's evolutionary speed, which far exceeded that of some contracted beasts with potential scores above 90, Old Man Sun frowned and thought seriously...
But the next second, the old man shook his head and denied his idea.
In order for a contracted beast to be rated as having a potential of 90 or above, the minimum bloodline level requirement for the parents is level 6, and there is no snow cat in the world that can advance to level 6!
So the more this happens, the more shocking it is!
It feels incredible!
Especially three minutes ago.
He also vowed that low-level bloodline beasts were a waste of time, energy and money and were not worth breeding. However, they evolved in the next second, and their evolution speed far exceeded that of high-potential-scoring beasts... Old Man Sun felt his face burning and a little embarrassed.
Just at this moment, a dozen students gathered at the office door without anyone noticing.
They were either standing at the window or by the door, craning their necks to look inside, with a clear expression in their eyes: "Holy crap! That's awesome!"
Some people even exclaimed "awesome" and "super strong" on the spot.
Old Man Sun: “…”
Old man Sun's face turned black and his expression was as stinky as a stone in a pit.
Zhou Tao came back to his senses from the shock and thought to himself that something was wrong after seeing this.
He hurriedly took two steps forward to Old Man Sun and said respectfully, "Professor Sun, children are very tolerant nowadays. Please be magnanimous and don't be offended..."
Although Qiuqiu advanced to level 3 in front of Zhou Tao, as the class teacher, Zhou Tao rationally felt that with Song Yu's qualifications, becoming an exotic animal researcher was the best way out.
"It's just a difference in concepts, there's nothing to worry about..." Old man Sun said in a firm tone, and he could see what Zhou Tao was thinking at a glance.
He snorted coldly, his hands behind his back: "If I can't even tolerate such a small matter and go looking for trouble with the good youngsters, I won't have anything else to do at the research institute all day long."
"However, I'm afraid I can't teach this student in your class. Ask your principal Wu to write a new letter to the research institute to find other researchers." Today, he was humiliated by a high school student and was slapped in the face by the other party on the spot.
Even though Old Man Sun would not bother a student for such a thing, out of sight, out of mind. He didn't want to see this person again in the short term.
Old man Sun was about to walk out of the office with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Tao was embarrassed and sweat broke out on his forehead. He followed behind Old Man Sun and tried to persuade him to stay...
…
Song Yu's whole body was stiff. He felt a little suffocated as he looked at Qiuqiu, who now had to crane his neck to see his chin.
She stood in the office looking melancholy like a 1.68-meter-tall child.
How come her contracted beast evolved again and again?!
Where's the promised potential value of 3 points?!
Where's the companion beast I promised you? It's this huge, three or four meters tall just sitting there.
If I go home with her, won't I make a hole in the floor? If I just lie on her, won't I break several of her ribs?
The most important thing is that Qiuqiu is evolving so fast, can she escape the fate of the wilderness forest?
Song Yu's throat was dry, and he trembled as he took out his phone and opened the school website.
As expected!
The wilderness forest practical course for senior high school students has a schedule of... December, January, February, March... a full 4 months!
Just the thought of having to stay in the wilderness for 4 months.
Song Yu couldn't help but flash through his mind... scenes of savages crossing the mountains, surviving in the wilderness, the horrific scenes of Bear Grylls eating raw insects, and the villains in the novel who were tragically killed by the plot.
"Cough cough cough..." Song Yu's eyelids twitched wildly, almost breaking his defense.
She covered her chest, feeling that she really couldn't bear it this time!
Qiuqiu, oh Qiuqiu, I treat you as a brother, why do you always stab me in the back? QAQ!
Can't we just be salted fish together quietly? QAQ!
I remember back in the playground. I thought you, a little kitty with a clean skeleton, were perfect for being a salted fish like me!
But why did you run in front of a bunch of curlers?
You should know that in the original novel, even the hero Bai Yuhan's contracted beast, the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex, will not be advanced to level 3 until before next year's provincial high school students' beast taming competition.
Song Yu took two deep breaths, tried hard to suppress his panic, and covered his chest to cheer himself up.
"Song Yu, don't panic, don't panic! The more critical the moment, the more you need to stay calm!"
"To participate in the wilderness forest combat course, you must first consider your scores in the beast taming combat course and the physical combat course. Secondly, you must also consider your academic performance..."
"As long as I lie on the ground and pretend to be unconscious as soon as the physical training class starts, I will fail the cultural exams. I don't believe that with 0 points in one subject and failing one subject, I can still be in the top 70% of the class!" Thinking of this, Song Yu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt that it was not safe enough.
So, she thought about it and made a decision: "When I get home today, I will tell Qiuqiu that as an animal, just like as a human, you can't be too high-profile. As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot..."
With that said, Qiuqiu should agree to let me off a bit in the Beast Taming Practical Course exam, right?
Song Yu thought seriously, "As long as a dozen points are deducted from the Beast Taming Practice Class, a few dozen points are deducted from the Cultural Examination, and a zero score is scored on the Physical Fitness Test... I'm sure this time the result will be the lowest in Class 5."
after all……
Jianghuai No. 1 High School is a key high school in Jiangnan Province. Almost all the students here are top scorers in the final exams. Many students in the class have similar total scores in the final exams, and often 0.5 points can improve their ranking by two or three places.
Song Yu sighed and felt at ease.
If her academic performance wasn't so poor, she would have tried to avoid all the correct answers and get a score of 0.
However……
Song Yu clutched his chest as he pondered over a solution...
In Qiuqiu's eyes, the contractor looked dazed, unwell, holding his chest and about to faint.
"Meow~!" Qiuqiu instinctively rubbed against Song Yu, trying to comfort the contractor.
However, Qiuqiu completely misjudged its own body size. It had just lowered its head and scratched Song Yu lightly, and he suddenly felt as if he was hit by a force ten gale, and fell backwards!
Song Yu: “?!!!”
Qiuqiu: “??!!”
Others around: “??!!!”
Old man Sun put his hands behind his back and was about to walk around Song Yu to leave the office.
However, after taking only two steps, he felt a black shadow suddenly hit him from behind out of the corner of his eye!
Old Man Sun was stunned, and before he could react, the fire monkey behind him stretched out its tail and grabbed him.
The black shadow was also picked up by the three tails that stretched out from the side.
Song Yu held the ball's tail tightly, still in shock. She patted her chest and almost thought that the ball would hit her head and hit the ground, with blood splattering on the spot.
"This classmate." Old Man Sun said with a sullen face, dusting off his robes, and said in a dissatisfied voice: "School is not the place for you to play around with your contracted beast. If you want to play around, it's better to go home."
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" That's right! I'm warning you, don't be too arrogant, or I'll beat you up!
The fire monkey scratched its head and yelled at Qiuqiu in dissatisfaction, glaring at him with its fiery red monkey eyes.
The Snow Cat bumped into its contractor right in front of it. Did it pretend that the contractor didn't exist?
Even though the Flame Ape had heard too much about bloodline theories over the years and didn't like Old Man Sun, he was still its contractor, so it had to give him some respect. Otherwise, what if the old man got angry and kept it locked up in the Beast Taming Space?
A powerful contracted beast can enter and exit the beast control space at will even without the control of the contractor, but the Fire Ape, as a 4th-level intermediate contracted beast, has obviously not reached such a powerful level.
“Meow!”
However.
This time, Qiuqiu, who would have his fur standing on end when he saw the fire monkey, shook his ears and shouted at the other party. He no longer looked scared as before. Instead, he looked serious, as if saying, "I'm not afraid of you this time."
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, everyone, don't get excited!" Zhou Tao suddenly came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to appease the two contracted beasts.
But please don’t let the two contractors stop arguing and instead the two contracted beasts fight in the office.
If this is the case, they don’t know whether their teaching building can withstand it.
"Professor Sun, I'm sorry."
Song Yu scratched her head, not blaming the person, but the matter. It was indeed she and Qiuqiu who almost bumped into each other accidentally just now.
Song Yu looked at the extremely protective Flame Ape opposite him with some envy...
Hey, how come this fire monkey has only reached level 4 after following Old Man Sun for decades? I wish the ball could advance this slowly...
Well……
Song Yu's envious expression suddenly froze. Could it be that the novel's plot had forced her to go to the wilderness forest, a deliberate plot twist from the original book? Otherwise, how could a kitten with a potential value of 3 advance faster than a high-level beast?
“……?” Old man Sun frowned and looked at Song Yu in confusion.
He always felt that the way the girl opposite looked at him and the Fire Monkey was strange, and something was not right.
Old man Sun frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Old man Sun's face darkened, and he was furious. "Hmph!" he said. "Don't think he doesn't know because he's old. These young people like to provoke others with their eyes when they have nothing to do."
Old Man Sun cursed in his heart and took back the Fire Monkey fiercely.
Isn't it just that the contracted beast advances faster than him? What's so proud about it!
"Don't be too proud, little girl. Over the years, the highest level of snow spirit cats recorded in the world is only level 3. Even mutants cannot escape the bloodline threshold. I want to see if this snow spirit cat can continue to advance in the future!" Old man Sun snorted coldly, this time with his hands behind his back, turned around and walked out the door.
Song Yu scratched his head and looked at Old Man Sun in confusion, "......?"
What's wrong with this old man?
Is she still angry about her previous argument with him? But didn't the old man also scold her twice?
Alas, Song Yu sighed.
But when he turned around and thought about what Old Man Sun had just said, Song Yu became happy again.
It’s good that I can’t continue to advance!
It would be best to wait until you go to college, when your level will be the same as everyone else's. That would be the best!
After arguing with the vice president of the Exotic Beast Research Institute, he made the other party very angry, but his contracted beast advanced to level 3.
This really made many people show expressions of surprise, envy and jealousy. Especially after Qiuqiu advanced to a level 3 low-level contracted beast, not only did he not look at people with his chin held high, but he was extremely well-behaved and obedient, which made people even more envious!
"Song Yu has only been with the contracted beast for three months, and it's already advanced to a low-level 3rd level... Doesn't this mean that if he contracts two more exotic beasts, he'll be able to become a professional beastmaster in no time?"
"Impossible...? Didn't the forum say she awakened an F-class beast taming space?"
"What's impossible? I heard that this Snow Spirit Cat's potential value is only 3 points! If the potential value of the exotic beasts contracted after Song Yu exceeds 3 points...wouldn't the advancement speed increase rapidly?"
"Huh? With such a fast speed, can it still be an F-level beast control space?"
Everyone looked at Song Yu and Zhou Tao's departing figures, and couldn't help but discuss. You know, after the Beast Taming Space Level is awakened, students need to report it themselves... Except for some advanced Beast Taming Universities and super first-tier cities that have measurement tools found in the secret realm, ordinary people have no way of knowing other people's Beast Taming Space Level.
In order to take the college entrance examination and to get the attention of the school education bureau.
They had only heard that someone had falsified data in previous years and reported low-level beast-taming spaces.
But I have never heard of anyone falsifying data and reporting a high-level space as a low-level space.
So later...
Whenever the Beast Taming University is admitting students, the Beast Taming Space Level will only be used as a reference.
Schools usually only focus on whether the contracted beasts raised by students are excellent, whether they obey the students' commands, and what their actual combat capabilities are.
It doesn't matter if a student deliberately cheats, as long as he or she is confident that he or she can keep up with the classmates and not be eliminated at the bottom. The Beastmaster University will not exclude such outstanding students. However, if they are eliminated because they cannot keep up with the courses, then don't blame the school.
After all, professional beastmasters need to travel through wilderness forests and secret realms all year round, where dangers and opportunities coexist.
It won't work if you don't have any ability and just want to enjoy flowers and applause.
Everyone around was silent for a moment.
However, someone in the crowd soon broke the silence and answered the question.
"I think you're overthinking it. If Song Yu hadn't been in an F-level Beast Taming Sphere, how could Zhou Wenchang have broken up with her? You know, Song Yu hadn't been to school for over a week! I heard it was her parents who called Teacher Zhou..."
"That's right, even though Beast Taming University hardly considers a student's Beast Taming Space level when enrolling, it's still one of the criteria used for university admissions. What if you happen to miss out on a good university? How could someone give up a good university and deliberately wait until this moment just to make a name for themselves? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
Many students chattered and soon came to their conclusions...
That is, Song Yu must have some special breeding techniques to speed up the advancement of the Snow Spirit Cat with low-level bloodline!
But...what exactly is this special breeding technique?
Not only the students, but also many teachers in the office were very curious.
…
As Song Yu followed Zhou Tao upstairs, he was thinking about what he would say when he got home that night to persuade Qiuqiu to keep a low profile.
As a crucial battle this semester, she must not fight a battle without confidence!
However……
Song Yu never expected that she had just sat down on the bench and hadn't even thought of her lines yet.
Zhou Tao, standing on the podium, waved his hand and said to the many students below with a smile, "The weather is nice today, and it's not raining outside, so Teacher Zhang and I and the other teachers have decided to have a unified exam for the entire grade today."
“???” Song Yu was shocked.
The other students stared at me, almost thinking there was something wrong with their ears.
No one expected that the exam, which was originally scheduled to start three days later, would start early.
Zhou Tao stood cheerfully on the podium, completely oblivious to the expressions of the audience below as he continued his ruthless announcement: "First, we'll have the Beast Taming Practical Course in the morning, then the Physical Combat Course in the afternoon, and finally the Cultural Studies Test during evening self-study. The results will be released today after the exams are over!"
Song Yu: “…”
Song Yu was so frustrated that he almost vomited blood. "You liars! We agreed to take the exam in three days? Why did you suddenly bring it forward?!"
She hasn’t even tried to persuade Qiuqiu yet!
Zhou Tao smiled and said, "After the weekend tomorrow, the top 55 students in our class will be able to take the school bus to the wilderness area for actual combat training. However, the bottom 23 students... will have to merge with the students at the bottom of other classes into a new class and study academic subjects in the classroom."
After Zhou Tao finished his last sentence, he deliberately touched his chin and glanced at the people below the stage with a meaningful expression, his eyes full of mockery.
The students almost lost control of their minds at the look of asking for a beating and the posture of asking for a beating. They wanted to commit treason and hit Zhou Tao on the head.
Fortunately, the group of people still had some sense and forced themselves to hold back their anger until their faces turned red. “…”
At school.
No student likes a surprise pop test.
This is especially true in an exam that determines one's future destiny and prospects.
Zhou Tao, standing at the podium, showed no remorse at all. Instead, he urged the class to hurry downstairs to take the test, smiling broadly as he said, "Exams are all about your true performance. Forget about cramming at the last minute... Could it be that when you go to the wilderness, those wild beasts will yell at you before they attack?"
Zhou Tao smiled and said, "So... you should study hard today. If you pass, you can go to the wilderness area to participate in practical training. If you don't pass, you can continue to stay in school and take cultural courses next week to avoid losing your life in the future."
Many students choked and stared at Zhou Tao with gloomy eyes: ...
Ah, the teacher’s exaggerated expression this week is really asking for a beating!
As everyone in the classroom stood up and followed the large group downstairs...
Song Yu stood up suddenly. She held her deskmate Zhou Ting's hands and trembled, "Zhou Ting, can you do me a favor?"
Zhou Ting: “……?”
Song Yu wiped his cheeks fiercely and pleaded, "I have a stomachache and need to go to the bathroom. Can you go to the playground first? If Teacher Zhang calls me, tell the other students to take the test first..."
Song Yu: "At most 10 minutes, I'll be there soon!"
Zhou Ting: “…”
No, is it necessary to make a fuss about going to the toilet like going to the battlefield?
Zhou Ting nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay...just go, I'll tell the teacher."
then……
Zhou Ting saw her deskmate rushing towards the classroom door as if a dog was chasing him!
"Uh..." Zhou Ting blinked and seemed really anxious.
