86: Ten Years of Taming Beasts Today
At this moment, Yuan Wang's appearance underwent an astonishing transformation.
Its originally soft and elastic green body, resembling jelly, now shimmered with a brilliant radiance like crystal clear flowing light.
It was as if, during a mysterious racial ritual, it had acquired a faint, ethereal divine glow.
The lost crown, which had previously existed only as an item to be carried, had now completely integrated into Yuan Wang's body.
A unique and peerless radiant crown silently grew upon Yuan Wang's head.
This crown emitted a captivating light, echoing the flowing radiance on Yuan Wang's body, giving it the beautiful appearance an elemental creature should possess.
Witnessing this scene, Li Wen understood that Yuan Wang had successfully completed its evolution.
After much deliberation, he also had a clear and precise plan for Yuan Wang's future Breeder direction.
Li Wen subconsciously covered his mouth and let out a soft yawn.
The long period of intense focus had left him feeling a bit tired, but fortunately, everything had settled, and he could finally relax his taut nerves a little.
He looked up at the clock and saw that there were only three hours left until six in the morning.
Counting it all up, the time he had for a peaceful rest was only about four hours.
One must know, today was the crucial day of the College Entrance Examination.
The written portion was scheduled to officially begin at 8:30 AM, and Li Wen's home was not a short distance from the school; just the commute would take a full half hour.
Thinking of this, Li Wen dared not delay any longer.
He quickly climbed into bed, closed his eyes, and prepared to make the most of this limited sleep time to rest well, so he could face the upcoming College Entrance Examination in optimal condition... As a result, early the next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Li Wen laboriously climbed out of bed.
With sleepy eyes, he walked to the mirror and saw two large dark circles under his eyes, making him look like a panda.
Helpless, he could only start his morning routine with this appearance.
After washing up, Li Wen dragged his heavy feet out of the house.
Along the way, he didn't miss any opportunity to rest for a moment.
On the crowded bus, he found a seat in a tight spot, sat down, and closed his eyes for a nap.
At the entrance of the examination hall, everyone was lining up to enter, and Li Wen also took the opportunity to lean against a nearby wall and close his eyes to rest.
Even in the short few minutes before the exam papers were distributed, he seized every second to relax.
Finally, when the invigilator handed the exam paper to Li Wen, he felt a slight recovery of his spirits.
It turned out that the arrangements for this Beast Taming College Entrance Examination were very tight; the written portion was in the morning, and the practical combat assessment was in the afternoon. Moreover, besides the three common and cultural subjects—Chinese, Mathematics, and Comprehensive—there were also subjects related to beast taming: Materials Science, Pet Beastology, and Breeder Studies.
With so many subjects to be completed in one morning, time was clearly very tight.
Therefore, the morning paper was not divided by subject but was a comprehensive test paper integrating all subjects.
For Li Wen, who already possessed a Beginner Breeder qualification, the questions for the latter three subjects were a piece of cake; even though he was still a bit groggy, he could quickly provide accurate answers.
However, when facing the first three subjects—Chinese, Mathematics, and Comprehensive—Li Wen had to recall the knowledge he had learned.
As time passed minute by minute, Li Wen gradually completed the latter half of the beast-taming related content.
At this point, he felt his mind clear up considerably, so he turned back to carefully fill in the questions in the first half.
After some effort, with only half an hour remaining before the end of the exam, Li Wen finally completed the entire paper smoothly and successfully submitted it.
Although the teacher had repeatedly emphasized before the exam that no one should submit their paper early, Li Wen was extremely sleepy at this point, his eyelids feeling incredibly heavy as if weighed down by lead blocks.
Finally, he could no longer resist the urge to sleep, resolutely submitted his paper, and then rushed straight home, planning to immediately lie down on his comfortable bed and "play dead" upon arrival.
Upon returning home, Li Wen didn't even have time to take off his shoes before collapsing onto the bed, instantly falling into a deep sleep. Time passed minute by minute, and unconsciously, four or five hours quietly slipped away.
When Li Wen slowly woke up from his deep sleep, he instinctively touched his eye sockets and was pleasantly surprised to find that the dark circles that had been there had miraculously disappeared.
Because this exam was the crucial College Entrance Examination, its strictness was unparalleled. Let alone ordinary personnel, if a teacher was not an invigilator, even wanting to step foot into the school was absolutely not allowed.
However, even in the face of such stringent regulations and environment, the homeroom teacher, whose heart was with his students, still racked his brains and found a clever way to successfully convey his most sincere blessings to all the students taking the exam.
He contacted a student who had the contact information of other classmates and asked him to add him to the class group chat where no teachers were present.
Just after Li Wen woke up, as he groggily picked up his phone to check messages, the first thing that caught his eye was a heartfelt message from his homeroom teacher: "Ten years of Beast Taming culminates today, everyone, good luck!"
Of course, besides this message, there was also a particularly eye-catching notification—"You and (Lonely Wolf) in the group are not yet friends."
Despite this, Li Wen still felt the full love and care from his teacher and classmates.
Now, the blessings had been delivered, and from now on, all they could rely on was each individual's own effort and performance.
