11: Junior, you've taken the wrong path.

Seeing the basic requirements, Li Wen lost the mood to care about the other consumption items that followed.

A 1000 Energy Value already reached the Entry-level Advanced stage. If he could raise his Sprout Beast to that level, he wouldn't have to worry too much about the College Entrance Examination.

The contract lasts until the College Entrance Examination, and most people's pet beasts are still at the Entry-level Intermediate level. Advanced can already be said to be stronger than most.

However, compared to other students, his starting point was much higher, so reaching Entry-level Advanced was not an impossible feat.

If he could truly achieve it, he could practically pick and choose from several prestigious schools.

But for now, it was just wishful thinking; there was still a long way to go to make it a reality.

After half an hour of waiting, although the Sprout Beast was still in a sweet dream, a new Skill indeed appeared on its panel.

【Low-level Self-Healing】: Due to the Sprout Beast's inherent minor self-healing ability, the repair speed of any injury will be increased.

At first glance, he didn't notice anything, but after a careful examination, he could feel how abnormal this Skill was in the beginner phase. It meant he no longer had to fear injuries during training.

He could even get injured and heal at the same time. Of course, it wasn't too extreme; self-harm was still unnecessary.

If nothing else, at least his endurance was significantly improved.

After a night of no words, another morning arrived.

Li Wen, not fully awake, was roused by the commotion beside him, his eyes opening groggily.

He saw the intimate scene of the Little Green Worm and the Sprout Beast, the two of them in zero-distance proximity.

The Little Green Worm's teeth were biting the leaf on the Sprout Beast's head. Although it couldn't bite through, the saliva left on the leaf was enough to make the Sprout Beast uncomfortable.

"Sprout~"

"Help!"

Seeing that the Sprout Beast was already a bit overwhelmed, he quickly reached out and pulled the Little Green Worm off its head.

As he prepared to put the Little Green Worm back into its container, he remembered that he had forgotten to close the container after feeding it yesterday.

And with the Little Green Worm's gluttonous nature, it would never let go of the food in front of it, so after a night of effort, it finally climbed onto the Sprout Beast's head.

"My goodness, they're natural rivals," Li Wen thought to himself.

But the day's plan begins in the morning. Since he was already up, he might as well eat breakfast and then head out.

Suddenly, the Sprout Beast's almost tearful voice rang in his ears.

"Sprout~"

"Why can't I still drive away the worm?"

(っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)

"Sprout Beast, look!"

"Even though you couldn't drive away the worm, isn't it true that it can't bite your leaves anymore?"

"Sprout~"

"It seems there's no problem."

Although he found it a bit strange, Li Wen certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to bluff.

"The reason you couldn't drive away the worm is because you're not strong enough yet. As long as you can evolve, you won't be afraid of the Little Green Worm at all."

"Sprout?"

"Really?"

"Definitely real."

The Sprout Beast nodded, as if having made some kind of decision, and flames ignited in its large eyes.

He dug out the old crystal ball from Li Wen's room and began practicing his Energy control ability.

Li Wen really wanted to say that this actually wouldn't help its evolution much, but why dampen the Sprout Beast's enthusiasm?

...Logically speaking, after no longer fearing the Little Green Worm's bites, the Little Green Worm should have no other means to harm the Sprout Beast.

But the fact was that the Sprout Beast was still afraid of the Little Green Worm. So this might be fear stemming from its bloodline, but what was the source?

Li Wen really couldn't think of anything that could restrain the Sprout Beast, besides the attribute of the Little Green Worm and its other evolved forms.

Li Wen thought about it the whole way but still couldn't figure it out, so he decided to first exchange the Insect Silk produced by the Little Green Worm in the past two days for money.

It was still that material shop.

"Do you buy Insect Silk?"

"We do." After coming twice, the shop assistant thought he was here to buy something again. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "But we need to check the quality of the Insect Silk first."

After a quick look, the shop assistant's professionalism was very high; he immediately confirmed it was Skilled-level Insect Silk.

"For Skilled-level Insect Silk, our price here is 100 yuan per gram. You have a total of five grams, so 500 yuan."

Hearing the price was acceptable, he immediately completed the transaction. After all, his Insect Silk wasn't a scarce resource; no one would be chasing him to buy it.

"Take care. If you have Master-level Insect Silk, come find me; I can offer you a purchase price of 500 per gram."

Although it wasn't necessary, this was indeed a way to make money, so he temporarily kept it as a backup plan... Outside the white building, Li Wen looked at the five characters "Beastmaster Association" above his head, confirming multiple times that he hadn't gone to the wrong place before walking in.

"Are you a junior from No. 1 High School?"

Out of habit, even on the weekend, Li Wen's clean clothes were still the blue and white school uniform, so the staff member immediately recognized him as a student from No. 1 High School.

"Excuse me, senior, are you...?"

He couldn't think of any information about the person in front of him, so he could only ask awkwardly.

"It's normal that you don't know me. If I were one of those famous people, how could I be working here?"

"My name is Huang Yang. You can call me whatever you like."

"Senior Huang, I'd like to ask, what is the general process for Beastmaster certification?"

When Huang Yang heard this, he also came to his senses; new people coming here could only be for Beastmaster certification.

"Oh, that's simple."

"Did you bring your ID card?"

Li Wen subconsciously patted his pocket to confirm.

"I brought it."

"Later, you'll go through the door on the left. You just need to show your ID card, and then summon your pet beast under guidance, and there will be no problem."

Hearing the senior's voice abruptly stop, Li Wen felt a sense of constipation.

"Senior, can't you introduce all four doors?" Li Wen complained inwardly.

Actually, when he summoned the Sprout Beast on the way, Li Wen suddenly discovered that his "deep meditation" last night had actually raised his Beastmaster level, and his Beast Space had also increased to Level Two, meaning his Soul Power reached 10 points.

So Li Wen thought about directly taking the Entry-level Beginner assessment.

"Senior, what about the remaining three doors?"

Hearing the question.

The senior thought that curiosity wasn't a bad thing, so he chuckled and said, "Our Shanghe City is a small city and only has the capability to conduct professional certifications up to Entry-level Advanced."

"And those three doors naturally correspond to the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels."

"As long as you cultivate your pet beast well, it's only a matter of time."

Because only two days had passed since his awakening, he didn't think Li Wen could enter the Entry-level, so he wasn't prepared to introduce any precautions at all.

Li Wen saw that the senior had no desire to continue speaking, so he didn't ask any further.

Work was already annoying, and having someone constantly ask questions, he wouldn't be able to stand it either.

He said thank you and walked towards the white door in the middle.

Huang Yang saw him walk directly towards the Entry-level Beginner test room and quickly spoke to stop him: "Junior, you've gone to the wrong place."

"No, it's this one."

Saying that, he left a retreating figure and walked into the room.

"I don't think I told him that the other rooms all require battles."

"Oh no, now the junior's confidence is going to take a hit."

"I know it's not hard for your Beast Space to reach Level Two, but you have to let your pet beast's improvement keep up!"

Huang Yang, who was already prepared to apologize to Li Wen, never dreamed that someone's pet beast would improve faster than the Beastmaster's.
