System points are quite valuable

Gu Xiaoyue carefully examined the shop and was surprised to find a pair of swords that could be exchanged for just 1 point.

Was it a coincidence? This pair of swords was identical to the ones she used in her previous life.

In her previous life, Gu Xiaoyue was an orphan who had been adopted by a Taoist nun since childhood.

Although she hadn't learned any proper mystical arts, she had mastered a set of martial arts skills.

That was why she was able to carve a bloody path for herself during the apocalypse when the zombies broke out.

However, people are only made of flesh and blood, after all, and there were times when she fought until she was exhausted.

So when Gu Xiaoyue entered the zombies' den alone, exhausted and unwilling to become their meal, she detonated the explosives she had prepared beforehand.

Presumably, a great number of zombies died at that time, and she could be considered to have made a significant contribution to the surviving humans.

Ever since she transmigrated into this world of Beastmasters, Gu Xiaoyue's body had been truly too weak.

After all, she had started practicing basic horse stance training at the age of three, while the original owner was just a delicate and weak young girl who had never even done any heavy labor.

Although she tried to exercise, the results were minimal, and she even began to understand why this world relied on Beastmasters.

Most Beastmasters focused on the cultivation of Mental Power, while body refining was rare; they relied more on their pet beasts.

Because when a pet beast entered the mature stage, it could strengthen the Beastmaster's body once.

Moreover, the skills of a pet beast at the proficiency level could be transferred to the Beastmaster through cultivation or heavenly treasures, allowing the Beastmaster to possess the same abilities.

Even the strength of the skills was related to the Beastmaster's Mental Power, rather than the physical robustness of their body.

Therefore, the vast majority did not spend time on body refining; they would rather spend that time training their pet beasts.

After all, not every Beastmaster was like Gu Xiaoyue, whose pet beasts could train themselves in the Yu Beast Space.

Gu Xiaoyue silently exchanged for those twin swords and tucked them into a corner of her Yu Beast Space.

Even though she had eaten the golden scale fruit earlier, her current body was still not suited for wielding swords. She thought she would wait until Xiao Qi entered the mature stage and her body was strengthened before considering it.

The shop corresponding to Apprentice Beastmasters didn't have many materials available for exchange.

A piece of lanzhi grass cost 20 points, and it could only be exchanged 10 times a month.

qiu mu grass, which increased the growth speed of mature pet beasts by 1.3 times, cost 40 points per piece, and could be exchanged a maximum of 5 times a month.

Then there was beast feed; Immortal Tier cost 55 points for a one-year supply, and Demon Tier cost 60 points for a one-year supply. It could only be exchanged once a month.

Calculated this way, these points were quite valuable.

However, if she were to exchange for all the rewards every month, her 450 points from check-ins and daily tasks would probably not be enough.

That's true, beast feed didn't need to be exchanged every month. Exchanging once provided a full year's supply, so exchanging once every two or three months would be sufficient.

But it was strange; Gu Xiaoyue discovered that the shop actually contained Heavenly Immortal beast feed and Frenzied Demon beast feed.

They were 120 points and 130 points for a one-year supply, respectively.

Teacher Bai had said before that in a high-tier Yu Beast Space, the probability of pet beasts advancing was much higher.

For Xiao Qi, Xiao Jiu, and the others, it was not impossible for them to advance to the Heavenly Immortal Tier and Frenzied Demon Tier in the future; it was just a matter of time.

Gu Xiaoyue had finished browsing the system shop, and there were few freshmen left in the auditorium.

Chu Li looked at his brain and said to Gu Xiaoyue, "The Head Teacher sent a message saying there is a class meeting tonight; gather at the training ground at 7 o'clock."

Gu Xiaoyue nodded, returned to the dormitory with Ye Wanrou first, and waited until the evening to attend the class meeting.

"I thought she was so impressive, the top scorer from Huanan Province, yet she was also assigned to the All-Rounder Class."

Bai Youlian said sarcastically in the dormitory. She had calculated that Gu Xiaoyue was about to return and said it specifically for her to hear.

Another roommate, Han Qiao, also giggled. Although she didn't mock her directly, her attitude toward Gu Xiaoyue was very disdainful.

They were all elites from various middle schools, so why was she putting on airs as a top scorer?

In fact, she didn't know that Gu Xiaoyue just had a cold personality; she wasn't putting on airs at all.

Gu Xiaoyue didn't want to pay them any mind and stopped Ye Wanrou, who wanted to argue with them.

Gu Xiaoyue climbed onto her bed and pulled the curtains, which she had specially decorated to create a private space.

She completed today's check-in and daily tasks, exchanged for 5 pieces of lanzhi grass, and had 14 points left.

She fed Xiao Qi, Xiao Jiu, Qingqing, Xiao Hei, and Xiaoxiong first.

There was no other way; she only had so many points right now, so she could only do the check-ins and daily tasks while exchanging for lanzhi grass.

If there was any extra, she could even give Ye Wanrou a piece.

In the evening, Gu Xiaoyue and Ye Wanrou went to attend the class meeting together.

They were not in the same class, but the class meetings for the All-Rounder Class and the Battle Strength Class were both held at the training ground.

Except for the Healing Class.

There were really many people in the Battle Strength Class; defense plus battle strength, and support plus battle strength, were all in the Battle Strength Class.

There were even 5 Head Teachers.

The Head Teacher of the All-Rounder Class was a beautiful and glamorous woman with shoulder-length wavy hair; her snow-white skin set off her bright red lips, making her very sexy.

"Hello everyone, I am your Head Teacher, my name is Director Ding XinYu. I called everyone here today because starting tomorrow, the freshman ranking competition will begin."

Head Teacher Ding gave a brief overview of the freshman ranking and the course schedule.

Once Gu Xiaoyue understood it, it was actually very relaxed; almost all courses were half-day.

The afternoon and evening were the times for the ranking competition, and if there were no battles, one could arrange their time freely.

However, despite appearing relaxed, the students still paid more attention to actual combat; otherwise, Nanya would not be firmly ranked as a top-tier institution in the Dragon Kingdom.

Originally, Gu Xiaoyue had no interest in the freshman ranking; she just wanted to develop quietly on her own.

"The first place on the freshman ranking gets a subsidy of 5 million; second and third place get 3 million; fourth and fifth place get 1.5 million; and sixth to tenth place get 1 million."

There's a subsidy?

Gu Xiaoyue's ears immediately perked up—5 million was not a lot, but it wasn't a little either.

"Freshmen in their first year will not be challenged by upperclassmen, but if you want to get on the Battle Strength Ranking, you can challenge upperclassmen."

The rewards for the Battle Strength Ranking are even higher, and they can be stacked with the freshman ranking rewards."

Gu Xiaoyue was even more tempted; if she could get the rewards from both rankings—

Head Teacher Ding continued her presentation: "Ten months from now, there will be a National Competition, and we will need to start preparing in about six months."

Nanya has been ranked fifth for many years, and this year I hope to have different results." As she said this, her eyes landed on Chu Li with great interest.

"I also want to specifically tell you that the rewards for the National Competition are very generous and can even change your Beastmaster career!"

Gu Xiaoyue was even more excited; ranking competitions, the National Competition—becoming stronger, wasn't this what she wanted!

That greedy little expression of hers fell into Chu Li's eyes, and he asked: "Xiao Yue, do you want to compete in the freshman ranking?"

Gu Xiaoyue nodded. Having come to the nation's top institution, who wouldn't want to compete? Who wouldn't want to become stronger?

Director Ding XinYu sent the rules for the freshman ranking to the All-Rounder Class's Xingyuan group chat, gave everyone a pep talk, and ended the class meeting.

"If Xiao Yue wants to take first place in the freshman ranking, let's study it carefully!"

The two of them looked at each other, their eyes both incredibly determined.
