36: Evolutionary

Gu Zhenbang not only seized practice time but also occasionally guided the Beastmaster skill training of his senior schoolmates.

“Haven't I told you many times about this Wind Blade skill of yours?”

“You can't do it like that, follow my method!”

“And you, Chen Yujia, a basic skill.”

“It hasn't reached Great Accomplishment in a month? What are you doing?”

Gu Zhenbang commanded the entire room, his voice covering the entire equipment room.

Spittle flew, spraying in unknown directions.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Shu also learned about the Beasts of the four school team members.

Chen Yujia – Water Ripple Element, Lan Mengzhu – Grass Vine Barren Wood, Lei Wu – Martial Giant Ape, Li Shuheng – Lightning Spirit Cat.

He hadn't expected that the strongest member of the school team would still be Li Shuheng, who looked like a gentle scholar.

【Name】: Lightning Spirit Cat

【Level】: lv37 (225/370)

【Level Cap】: lv86

【Status】: Irritable

【Quality】: Perfect

【Attribute】: Thunder

【Talent】: Discharge - Minor Accomplishment (56/400)

【Skills】: Basic — Electric Spark - Microscopic (13/200), Frenzied Bite - Microscopic (22/200), Electric Shock - Perfect (32/50)... Intermediate — Thunderstrike - Great Accomplishment (23/80), Startling Thunder Slash - Great Accomplishment (11/80), Spear of Thunder - Perfect (32/100)... Advanced — Electric Energy Pierce - Minor Accomplishment (33/120), Aurora Fur - Minor Accomplishment (11/120), Electric Shock Beam - Beginner (56/80)

Such a level, skill quantity, and proficiency.

And the Talent that the Beast comes with.

One could only say that he truly lived up to his reputation as the strongest member of Canglan No. 2 High School's school team.

The Beasts of all four seemed to have evolved once, so their quality was Perfect.

There wasn't much difference in their levels, all around Level 35.

There was some difference in skill proficiency, but it wasn't very obvious.

Aside from Li Shuheng being a bit stronger, the other three had similar strength.

By the time Lin Shu had almost finished reviewing the information.

Gu Zhenbang's gaze fell upon Lin Shu and his Beast, also observing, wanting to discover something.

His eyes never stopped, watching for five minutes straight.

He couldn't find any flaws that would allow him to offer criticism or guidance.

Good heavens, Perfect Fast Movement, Microscopic Assault.

And what was that other skill? He had never seen it before.

It was truly unbelievable; such skill levels were hard to believe coming from a First Year student.

Not only did this kid's Beast level up quickly.

Even his skills were practiced so quickly?

Why hadn't the principal mentioned this point?

Could he really be a prodigy?

He swallowed and cleared his throat.

“Lin Shu is doing very well.”

“If you were like him, let alone reaching the top four, you could even contend for the championship.”

Lin Shu looked at Gu Zhenbang with a strange expression.

Please don't make me a target of hatred.

I'm just a newcomer.

Fortunately, everyone didn't pay attention to this.

They just raised their eyebrows at Lin Shu and shrugged their shoulders.

It seemed they were already used to such things.

It looked like they were often under pressure.

Next was continuous practice.

Soon, the morning passed, and everyone left the equipment room together.

Gu Zhenbang had left early, probably to pick up the other three reserve members.

They started heading to the cafeteria for lunch.

Not long after, they returned.

Upon returning to the venue, they found three new unfamiliar faces in the equipment room.

It seemed the other reserve assessments had concluded.

After entering, everyone greeted each other warmly.

The group could be considered acquainted.

Thus, the nine members of this year's school team were all present.

These three were Min Hu from First Year Class 7, Ling Shi from Second Year Class 2, and Chu Xin from Second Year Class 5.

Among them were two males and one female, Chu Xin being the female.

Looking at these individuals, all of them were Beastmasters with Beast Talents.

This was the situation within the school team; resources were primarily used for talented students.

After greeting, Teacher Xu Lihuang first took them to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment of the school team.

The basic process was the same as when Lin Shu first arrived, a familiarization process.

He didn't dwell on these matters and immediately resumed training.

Thus, the afternoon passed quickly.

Before leaving, Xu Lihuang pulled the three along with Lin Shu.

He added them to a group chat on Feixin named “Canglan No. 2 High School School Team.”

Originally, including the two teachers, there were seven people in the group.

After Lin Shu and the others joined, the number reached eleven, which was not a small number.

Min Hu had the most contact with Lin Shu in the afternoon, likely because they were both First Years and had topics to chat about.

He added the contact information of everyone else in the school team for future convenience.

After a greeting, he headed towards his room in the school team quarters.

He still hadn't learned the Beast Secret Art yet.

After training all afternoon, he didn't bother Black Night and Earth Splendor anymore.

He let them rest.

Lin Shu sat down by the bed and took out the transparent crystal inscribed with the Beast Secret Art.

He gently placed it in his palm, then guided his Mental power into it.

Next, purple threads slowly permeated the inside of the crystal like rainwater, eroding its surface.

After a period of time, purple completely covered the entire crystal, and lines of text slowly appeared in his mind.

Finally, they converged into four large characters.

Damage Transfer.

Lin Shu understood the usage method and effect annotations of this Beast Secret Art.

The usage method was quite simple: select a Beast, mark it with a transfer symbol, and then the secret art could be used.

Lin Shu closed his eyes, memorizing the steps in his mind and learning the secret art.

Learning and using it wasn't difficult; after several conceptualizations and inscriptions, he had succeeded.

A purple hexagram symbol slowly faded into Earth Splendor's body.

Thus, this secret art was pretty much complete.

At this moment, the secret art also appeared on Lin Shu's panel.

Beast Secret Art — Damage Transfer - Beginner (1/50)

The more the secret art's proficiency increased, the less Mental energy it consumed, and the longer it could be maintained per use.

Earth Splendor touched his head, showing a bewildered expression.

He could feel something entering his body but just couldn't find it.

“Don't worry, this is a good thing, just keep it safe.”

Seeing his master say so, Earth Splendor showed a simple and honest smile, accepting this fact.

His master definitely wouldn't harm him, hehe.

The secret art didn't need to be actively used; it was passively triggered only when the Beastmaster took damage.

That was quite good, achieving full automation.

However, subsequent uses would consume the Beastmaster's Mental power.

If Mental power was insufficient or the Beast with the inscribed symbol died, the secret art would also become ineffective.

After learning and using the secret art.

Lin Shu lay on the bed, beginning to think about his schedule for the next few days.

He needed to go to the Central District over the weekend to participate in the Chu Niao Cup main competition.

He probably wouldn't have much time these two days.

And Black Night's Spinning Arm Slash should reach Microscopic by Thursday.

Meeting the conditions to learn the next stage of blade techniques.

Thus, on Thursday, he could first go to the Praying Mantis Martial Hall to learn new blade techniques.

After clarifying the upcoming matters, Lin Shu no longer thought too much.

Just proceed according to the plan.

He directly drew the curtains and turned off the lights, intending to get a good rest.

Inscribing the secret art symbol still left him a bit dizzy and lightheaded...
