65: Chapter 65 National Results: The Weakest Magical Pet Reaches the Top!?

"It's all my fault for being too weak, that's why Master is making me consume heavenly treasures to increase my strength."

"A real warrior does not accept food given in pity!"

"I am an Iron-Eating Beast!"

"I must add two hours of extra training tonight to soothe this guilt in my heart."

After quickly eating its share of heavenly treasures, the Iron-Eating Beast did not hesitate at all.

It charged straight towards the training room.

Soon, the sounds of 'Hmph, ha, hey' training could be heard from the training room.

City Lord Lu Feng: "???"

Li Muyao: "???"

The dining room fell into silence.

After a long while, Li Muyao asked with some uncertainty:

"What is up with this Iron-Eating Beast?"

Lu Yuan shook his head and sighed.

"How would I know?"

"Maybe it's just too self-disciplined."

"Self-disciplined to an absurd degree."

Looking at the Iron-Eating Beast's state, the Slime felt that the heavenly treasures in its mouth didn't taste as good anymore.

"You like to grind, huh?"

"King Slime here isn't made of mud either."

"Let's see if I can't out-grind you."

Only the Little Skeleton was leisurely eating its heavenly treasures.

It had the same thought as Lu Yuan.

"Grind away, you all grind yourselves to death, that way I can be safer."

Unfortunately, although the Iron-Eating Beast had a firm will, it was, after all, just a newborn Iron-Eating Beast cub with limited stamina.

Coupled with the large amount of heavenly treasures it had consumed, it soon fell into a deep sleep.

...

...

Early the next morning, the Iron-Eating Beast opened its small eyes in a daze, looking at the soft goose-down bed and the cozy bedroom.

It did a kip-up and rolled off the bed.

"Sleeping is impossible, it's impossible to sleep in this life."

"Work hard, work hard!"

"I need to start training."

Saying that, it got up and rushed to the training room to start training.

The Slime also hurriedly scrambled out of bed, following closely behind, and rushed into the training room.

While it wouldn't increase its attributes by training, it could only increase skill proficiency.

It was very inefficient for improving strength!

But, that's just how the grind is.

Most people are just slacking off while pretending to grind.

Lu Yuan didn't pay it any mind.

Right now, he was just cultivating their awareness of competitive grinding.

Once the College Entrance Exam results came out, he would go to the wild to farm monsters.

Lu Yuan lifted his eyelids to check the changes in the Iron-Eating Beast's attributes.

The first time consuming heavenly treasures yields the greatest attribute increase.

The Iron-Eating Beast's Strength attribute increased to: 98!

Its Constitution attribute increased by 103!

Directly reaching 183 points!

Its HP directly skyrocketed to 18,300!

An explosive increase.

The Iron-Eating Beast didn't eat more heavenly treasures.

It was just because its racial rank was higher, so its absorption efficiency for heavenly treasures was higher.

Therefore, after the first consumption of heavenly treasures, the attribute increase was greater.

After eating, Lu Yuan started sitting on the sofa in the training room, playing video games.

On the screen next to him, the footage of the three Magic Pets training in the training room was projected.

When the screen turned black and white, Lu Yuan would turn his gaze to check the training progress of the three Magic Pets.

System prompt:

[The Iron-Eating Beast has obtained 'Attribute Forger' through 1 hour of hard training]

[Please select an attribute!]

Three choices:

[Gold · Strength Fragment: +11 Strength]

[Silver · Constitution Fragment: +8 Spirit]

[Silver · Skill Speed Fragment: +11 Skill Haste]

Without any hesitation, he directly took the 'Gold · Strength Fragment'.

The Iron-Eating Beast's Strength attribute increased once again.

As time passed, Lu Yuan received several more system notifications.

[The Iron-Eating Beast has obtained 'Attribute Forger' through 1 hour of hard training...]

[The Iron-Eating Beast has obtained 'Attribute Forger' through 1 hour of hard training...]

[...]

Time flowed, day and night alternated.

This state was maintained for another day.

Under the leadership of the Iron-Eating Beast, both the Slime and the Little Skeleton gradually adapted to the competitive grind.

In the blink of an eye, a new day arrived.

As soon as the sky brightened, the entire Lu Family Manor was filled with joy.

Li Muyao and City Lord Lu Feng rarely woke Lu Yuan up.

"Little Yuan, wake up quickly."

"The national College Entrance Exam results are out."

"Oh... what place am I?"

"You are, of course, first place, the national College Entrance Exam top scholar!"

...

...

"Are you crazy!!"

"The top ten, they're all Legendary-class professions?"

"Damn, is the College Entrance Exam this exaggerated this year?"

"Wait, the first place doesn't seem to be..."

"Summoner... The upper limit of a Summoner is indeed high, topping the list isn't impossible, but..."

"What the hell are a Little Skeleton and a Slime!?"

When people discovered that Lu Yuan had suppressed a group of Legendary-class geniuses with a Little Skeleton and a Slime, the whole world was shocked.

At the same time, a photo began to spread wildly across the entire internet.

A picture of the Slime and the Skeleton Soldier, the two weakest magic beasts, stepping on a group of Legendary-class professionals.

"This is hilarious."

"It's truly absurd, a group of Legendary-class professionals are actually rubbing their heads against the soles of a Slime and a Skeleton Soldier?"

...

The Slime also saw this photo.

It jumped up from the bed in excitement.

With its hands on its hips, it roared to the sky.

"Hahaha..."

"Did you see that? This is me, King Slime."

"Even with a newbie lackey, I can still suppress the College Entrance Exam battlefield!"
