76: Chapter 76 Supporting Elementary School Students

Zhou Ya took the Flying Kelo to test its attributes, and Xia Xiaojie followed closely behind, scratching his head in excitement, wishing he could operate the machine himself.

Li Yu watched quietly, a calm smile on his face.

"Um... respected Breeder sir..." Grandma Xia suddenly spoke up, looking a bit uneasy.

"Just call me Li Yu."

"Alright, Li Yu, you shouldn't... be an ordinary Breeder, right? Grandma is old and doesn't understand these things, but I still have a good eye for people. Thank you for your trouble."

Although Grandma Xia didn't understand cultivation, she knew how to judge people. From the way the young woman fluctuated between shock and joy, she knew the young man who had cultivated for her grandson was no ordinary person.

Li Yu neither explained nor refuted, just smiled and said, "Xiaojie is very sensible; this is all I can do to help."

Grandma Xia nodded and said nothing more.

At this moment, in front of the testing machine, the prompt beeped rhythmically. Zhou Ya and Xia Xiaojie, one adult and one child, both looked extremely nervous, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Finally, with a "beep," the attributes appeared.

[Beast Name]: Flying Kelo [Beast Quality]: Excellent (S) [Beast Level]: black iron Level 6 [Beast Attribute]: None [Beast Talent]: Kero Cannon, Spiral Dash [Beast Introduction]: A mutated Coco, a fusion of a bat and a cat, possessing sharper observation and capturing abilities than the average Coco.

Zhou Ya, holding a notebook and pen, was just about to record the data, but froze completely upon seeing the attributes.

Clatter~ The pen and notebook fell to the floor.

"Big sister, what's wrong? Is the Coco's attribute bad?" Xia Xiaojie asked with a puzzled expression, then turned to comfort her, "It's okay, as long as the Coco is alive, that's enough."

Zhou Ya came back to her senses, shook her head, and said seriously, "Xiaojie, you're wrong. The Coco's attributes are very good—very, very good."

Seeing that Xia Xiaojie still didn't quite understand, she bent down and asked, "Do you know how Beast quality is classified?"

At the mention of this, Xia Xiaojie's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "I know! The teacher taught us!"

"Tell me about it."

"The teacher said that among Beast qualities, Grade A is the best, followed by Grade B, Grade C, Grade D... and the worst is Grade F. The teacher also said that for classmates who want to become Beast Tamers, our future Beasts should at least reach Grade C!"

Zhou Ya took a deep breath, her cheeks flushing, and said excitedly, "Then do you know what grade the Coco is?"

Xia Xiaojie shook his head; he wasn't tall enough to see.

"The answer is, Grade S!"

"Grade S?"

"Did your teacher not tell you that above the best Grade A, there is an even better level called Grade S? It's more powerful than ten Grade As combined. You're very lucky to have met this big brother to cultivate for you; anyone else wouldn't be able to cultivate an S-grade."

Xia Xiaojie let out a "Wow" in amazement. He didn't know exactly how powerful Grade S was, but since big sister said it was stronger than ten Grade As, and stronger than the most powerful Grade A the teacher had ever talked about, it must be amazing.

Children inevitably have a bit of vanity, and this small bit of vanity gave Xia Xiaojie a huge sense of satisfaction.

So, I'm not worse than anyone else!

A thought popped into Xia Xiaojie's mind. He ran up to Li Yu, opened his mouth, but hesitated, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

"Xiaojie, is something the matter?" Li Yu asked.

"Big..." Xia Xiaojie looked at Grandma, then changed his words, "Uncle, are you free after school?"

"After school?" Li Yu was taken aback, "You mean after work?"

"It's at 5:30 in the afternoon. I want, I want to invite you to watch the Coco's match at school..." Xia Xiaojie's nostrils flared, his breathing was a bit rapid, and he couldn't speak very clearly.

Li Yu narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Xiaojie, who dodged his gaze and lowered his head.

"Who are you competing against? Those kids who bully you?"

"Yes! C-can you come...?"

"Sure."

Xia Xiaojie looked up in surprise, staring at Li Yu with a face full of joy, and hurriedly shouted, "Really?!"

"Yeah, it just so happens that I also want to see what a primary school student's Beast duel is like," Li Yu said with a smile.

Xia Xiaojie was so happy he jumped up and down, hugging the Flying Kelo and cheering.

That's what anticipation is like. The moment Li Yu agreed, Xia Xiaojie's heart was filled with the happiness of waiting; every minute and every second of the wait became long yet meaningful.

After sending off Grandma Xia and Xia Xiaojie, Li Yu and Zhou Ya also left the cultivation room.

Along the way, Zhou Ya watched Li Yu's back, feeling as if the man himself was glowing.

"Oh, by the way, Zhou Ya." Li Yu suddenly turned around.

Zhou Ya was lost in thought, and being suddenly addressed made her cheeks turn crimson. She hurriedly asked, "W-what is it?"

"When you have time, help me upload today's cultivation, as well as my previous work, to my account. The data should be with Supervisor Song."

"No problem."

Becoming a Senior Cultivator was the first step to gaining a firm footing. The second step was for Li Yu to upload his cultivation records to the Cultivation Network and the company's official website to increase his value and expand his influence.

Although uploading so many S-grade and even S+ cultivation results all at once would cause a huge sensation, that was exactly what he wanted.

Back in the office, Li Yu had nothing to do and could only slack off, while Zhou Ya left her seat to start processing the upload of the cultivation data.

It was past 4:00 PM. Li Yu opened his desk drawer and took out a brand-new set of clothes: a black robe with gold trim and a front-button design, made of silky material that shimmered with a faint light.

This was the exclusive attire for a Senior Cultivator—luxurious and elegant, with a certain level of defensive capability. It even had an embedded alarm system; once the defense was triggered, it would immediately send a distress signal to nearby official organizations.

It was both clothing and a symbol of status; it was both a symbol of status and the Great Xia's protection for Senior Cultivators.

After he changed into the clothes and put on his Senior Cultivator badge, two exclamations came from the doorway. "Wow!" "Holy crap!"

Li Yu turned back to see Zhou Ya and Supervisor Song standing at the door. He smiled and spread his arms, letting the slightly loose sleeves hang down naturally, "How is it? Not bad, right?"

"Pretty flashy. With your looks and this outfit, you'd definitely be a heartthrob the moment you step outside!" Supervisor Song didn't hold back his praise, then changed the subject, "What's the deal? Are you going on a blind date?"

Zhou Ya was curious too.

"What blind date? I'm going to back someone up," Li Yu said with a smile.

"Backing someone up?" Supervisor Song frowned, "That's not encouraged. Every move a Senior Cultivator makes has a significant influence on their surroundings. If you're not careful, it could affect your reputation, or even be exploited by people with ill intentions."

Zhou Ya nodded in agreement.

Li Yu smiled amusedly and said, "What are you thinking? I'm going to back up a primary school student."

"Xia Xiaojie?" Zhou Ya was surprised, "No way, you're really going? And wearing this outfit!"

"Yes."

"What exactly is going on?" Supervisor Song looked confused.

Zhou Ya explained the matter of Li Yu cultivating the Kekeluo Rat. Supervisor Song, living up to his reputation as a workplace veteran, quickly deduced Li Yu's purpose and said with some surprise, "So you want to act as a guarantor for that kid so others won't bully him anymore?"

"Yes," Li Yu lowered his eyes and murmured, "Children from the orphanage have no one to rely on; this is all I can do to help."

Supervisor Song shook his head, "Every year, countless children lose their families to beast tides and end up in orphanages. Can you really take care of them all?"

"Well, I just happened to run into this one," Li Yu grinned.

Looking at Li Yu's somewhat melancholic smile, Supervisor Song was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it. Since that's the case, I'll add one more thing to your flashy display."

"What?"

"Guardian!" Supervisor Song shouted towards the door, "Come in, Chen Qing."
