7: Chapter 7 This is the Beast Taming Class? They all seem to be walking health packs!

Leaving the Academic Affairs Office, Gu Yuexi walked along the campus path. Her expression remained that cold, "do not approach" look, but through the Blood Pact link, Chu Sheng could vaguely sense that her mood... wasn't all that calm.

True, anyone who ended up in this situation wouldn't be in a good mood.

However, Chu Sheng didn't have time to worry about her mood right now.

He was in his "private room," excitedly studying his newly evolved body.

"My proboscis... tsk tsk, I bet it could be used as a needle now?"

Chu Sheng controlled his thick and long proboscis, poking the inner wall of the plastic box.

With a "thwack," like poking plastic with a toothpick, it was quite powerful.

Also, his body size had directly tripled or quadrupled, and his six legs had become like small steel bars, full of power!

"System, what level is my current physical fitness at?" Chu Sheng asked in his mind.

[Ding! The host's current physical strength can easily ram to death ten pre-evolution counterparts! Full-power flight speed can reach 20 kilometers per hour! The proboscis can easily pierce three-centimeter-thick pigskin!]

Holy crap! That fierce?

Damn, it can even pierce pigskin?

Chu Sheng was shocked; this Level 2 proboscis was practically a divine tool!

Now, let alone sucking human blood, he could probably take a sip from most animals!

"Sweet! This is awesome!"

Chu Sheng fluttered his wings excitedly in the box, wishing he could go out right now and find a pig to test his prowess.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!"

The sound of his wings vibrating was several decibels louder than before, like a miniature drone.

"Behave yourself."

Gu Yuexi's cold voice came through the mental link, tinged with a hint of impatience.

Chu Sheng curled his lip and finally settled down.

Fine, when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.

After all, she was his long-term meal ticket.

Gu Yuexi was also slightly surprised; she felt the mosquito seemed to have grown a bit larger. Could it be because it sucked her vital energy?

But even if it was a bit bigger, it was still less than two centimeters...

Still tiny, a total loser, useless.

Chu Sheng: "..."

Fine, so I'm a loser.

But why call me small?!

Soon, Gu Yuexi brought him to the end of a teaching building; this was the territory of the Beast Taming Department.

Unlike the atmosphere of the Martial Arts Department, which was full of sweat and hormones, this place was clearly much more "lively."

Various strange animal cries rose and fell, and the air was filled with a scent... similar to a zoo.

Gu Yuexi finally stopped at the door of "Beast Taming Class 8."

"Class 8... the worst class?"

Chu Sheng got the gist of the situation through Gu Yuexi's thoughts.

But whether it was bad or not didn't have much to do with him.

Right now, he just wanted to know if there were many... mobile blood bags in this so-called Beast Taming Class.

Gu Yuexi pushed the door open and entered.

The originally noisy classroom fell silent instantly, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked over in unison.

After all, Gu Yuexi's reputation as the "Vase School Beauty" was quite well-known in the school; almost everyone knew her.

Chu Sheng peered through the gap in the plastic box, curiously observing the scene inside the classroom.

This classroom was much larger than a normal one. Beside each student's seat, a special space was reserved for their Contracted Beasts.

At this moment, all sorts of "animals" were lying, crouching, or standing in those spaces.

A fox with flames burning on its tail was yawning lazily.

A wild boar covered in rock-like shells was grunting and rooting at the ground.

There was also a Three-eyed Crow, tilting its head and staring curiously at Gu Yuexi with its three eyes.

Chu Sheng's eyes were dazzled, and at the same time, the passive skill [Blood Food Tracking] allowed him to clearly perceive information about these creatures.

[Blazing Fox, Low-level bloodline, Rank 1 Early-stage demonic beast...]

[Rock Boar, Low-level bloodline, Rank 1 Early-stage demonic beast...]

[Three-eyed Crow, Low-level bloodline, Rank 1 Mid-stage demonic beast...]

"Good grief, they're all demonic beasts?"

Chu Sheng was a bit surprised.

He had thought that in this worst class, there would at least be a few who had contracted ordinary cats or dogs.

He didn't expect that even the lowest among them would be demonic beasts with low-level bloodlines!

It seemed the threshold for being a Beast Tamer in this world was higher than he had imagined.

On the podium, a somewhat lazy-looking young male teacher had a complicated expression upon seeing Gu Yuexi. Clearly, he had received the news in advance. He sighed, "Gu Yuexi, transferred from the Martial Arts Department, right? Welcome, welcome. Just find any empty seat and sit down!"

"Transferred from the Martial Arts Department?"

"Isn't her martial arts talent really poor? Why did she suddenly transfer to our Beast Taming Department?"

"Could it be that she contracted some powerful demonic beast?"

The students in the class immediately burst into chatter, looking at her with curious eyes.

Gu Yuexi ignored the chatter and walked straight toward an empty seat in the last row of the classroom.

"Wait a moment, Student Gu Yuexi."

A fairly clean-cut male student sitting in the front row suddenly stood up. Beside him lay a lizard covered in green scales, about the size of a small calf.

"According to the rules of our Beast Taming Department, new students should let everyone see your Contracted Beast, right?" the boy said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of well-meaning curiosity.

Others chimed in as well.

"Yeah, yeah, let us see!"

"The school beauty's Contracted Beast must be very beautiful too, right? Is it something like a Nine-tailed Spirit Fox?"

The teacher on the podium also watched with a smile, not stopping them.

This was an unwritten tradition in the Beast Taming Class; everyone getting to know each other's Contracted Beasts made future communication and learning easier.

Gu Yuexi paused and remained silent for a moment.

Under the expectant gazes of the entire class, she expressionlessly turned around and placed that unremarkable plastic takeout box on the podium.

"..."

"???"

The entire classroom fell into a deathly silence once again.

Everyone's face was filled with question marks.

What was going on?

Where was the Contracted Beast? Why bring a takeout box up there?

Could her Contracted Beast be...

A bold student craned his neck to look into the box, and then the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.

"A mos... mosquito?"

His voice trembled, filled with uncertainty.

"What? A mosquito? You must have seen wrong!"

"Holy crap, it... it really seems to be a mosquito! A huge one!"

"No way? Contracting a mosquito? Is she crazy?!"

"Did I hear that right? What on earth is she thinking?"

After a brief silence, the entire classroom instantly erupted!

Everyone looked at Gu Yuexi as if she were insane.

They had thought of countless possibilities, even that Gu Yuexi might not have a Contracted Beast at all and was just there to coast.

But they never expected that Gu Yuexi's Contracted Beast would actually be a mosquito!

This wasn't just ridiculous; it was absurd!

The smile on the young teacher's face froze. He rubbed his eyes and leaned in to look at the box. When he confirmed it really was a mosquito inside, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.

This child... what a pity.
