High-level pets are available

Gu Xiaoyue's head felt like it was going to explode. This life-hastening damn system—she hadn't even claimed the rewards from the previous task, and now there was a new one!

【 Task 1: Eliminate 30 Young life stage 3 fierce beasts. Do you accept the task? 】

【 Yes 】

【 No 】

【 Task 2: Eliminate 40 Young life stage 4 fierce beasts. Do you accept the task? 】

【 Yes 】

【 No 】

【 Task 3: Eliminate 50 Young life stage 5 fierce beasts. Do you accept the task? 】

【 Yes 】

【 No 】

Accept, accept, accept—accept them all!

Killing fierce beasts was something that would have to happen sooner or later anyway. There was no rush to complete them, so she could just accept them first.

Gu Xiaoyue understood that on this planet where one had to fight fierce beasts, the current comfort was only temporary.

She could be drawn into battle at any time and any place; only by becoming strong herself could she protect herself and the people she wanted to protect.

Thinking about going to the battlefield in the future made her body heat up with excitement.

Looking at the task rewards, Gu Xiaoyue first claimed the rewards for the subsidiary tasks.

【 One year's supply of Celestial Rank Beast Food (meat) has been placed into the Yu Beast Space. 】

Celestial Rank Beast Food!

A whole year's supply!

Gu Xiaoyue did the math; this was a reward worth ten million!

With the Celestial Rank Beast Food, Xiao Qi would probably level up even faster.

Let's see what the other task reward is.

【 One pet beast egg has been placed into the Yu Beast Space. 】

A pet beast egg?

Gu Xiaoyue took the pet egg out; it was the size of a soccer ball.

With her Immortal Tier talent for Mental Power, she should be able to form a contract with it, right?

With that thought, she pricked her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto it.

For the pet beast egg, Gu Xiaoyue drew a contract formation.

In less than a minute, the shell of the pet beast egg cracked open.

With a rustling sound, a small snake head poked out from the pet beast egg, then another poked out, followed by a third, a fourth... eight, nine heads!

【 Name 】: Nine-Infant

【 Rank 】: Mid-grade Immortal Tier

【 Attribute 】: Water attribute, Fire attribute

【 Skills 】: Water Pillar (Low-level), Blazing Flame (Low-level), Water Wave (Low-level), Fire Sea (Low-level)

【 Level 】: Young life stage 1

This rank, these skills—it had both single-target and area-of-effect attacks.

Gu Xiaoyue was thrilled. But then she thought about it—that one year of Celestial Rank Beast Food was only enough for these two babies to eat for half a year!

Gu Xiaoyue immediately wasn't so thrilled anymore.

The Nine-Infant in front of her drank the egg fluid from its shell and ate the eggshell.

Its nine little heads swayed, its body coiled up, and it made "ying ying ying" sounds while shimmering with alternating white and red light.

"From now on, I'll call you Xiao Jiu." Gu Xiaoyue stroked one of the Nine-Infant's little heads and put it into her Yu Beast Space.

Because the class transfer competition had been such a hassle for several days, the Beastmaster classes finally started.

The ordinary classes had started long ago; even if one wasn't applying to a Beastmaster university, one still had to take the college entrance exam.

The three students transferring classes also arrived to report to the Elite Class.

Gu Xiaoyue, Huang Min, and another boy named Zhang Jingli.

Ye Wanrou wanted to sit with Gu Xiaoyue, but Gu Xiaoyue had been arranged by Teacher Han to sit with Chu Li.

Ye Wanrou pouted in anger, but she didn't dare to go against Teacher Han.

Huang Min and Gu Xiaoxing sat together.

Gu Xiaoyue caught Gu Xiaoxing looking at her with a somewhat venomous gaze. She gave Gu Xiaoxing a warning look, and Gu Xiaoxing hurriedly withdrew her gaze, feeling somewhat guilty.

Hmph, it's good that you know to be afraid.

"Students, I will be teaching this year's Basic Beastmaster Theory course. My surname is Bai, Bai Shumei." Teacher Bai wrote her name on the blackboard.

"Basic theory is not a mandatory subject for our college entrance exam, but as Beastmasters, there are things you ought to know.

Furthermore, when you get to university and want to take the Beastmaster level exams, basic theory and even future advanced Beastmaster theory will be mandatory.

So, this course is very important, but don't feel pressured. Accumulate knowledge regularly so you won't be at a loss during the exams."

Gu Xiaoyue muttered to herself, Why is this exactly like the Blue Star college entrance exam? Do all students in the entire universe have to take college entrance exams?

Do teachers across the entire universe use the same script?

"Alright students, open your textbooks to Chapter 1: Overview of Basic Beastmaster Theory—"

Gu Xiaoyue listened patiently. The content of this lesson was truly very basic; it was information that even an ordinary person, let alone a Beastmaster, would know.

The bell rang to end the class. Watching Teacher Bai pack up her textbooks and leave, Chu Li finally said to Gu Xiaoyue, "Xiao Yue, have you claimed the prize for first place in the competition?"

"Not yet. This competition was all thanks to you; you should go claim the reward."

"I was just tagging along. That reward was originally meant for the first-place transfer student, and my family already gave me something similar." A strange blush appeared on Chu Li's face.

Gu Xiaoyue caught the meaning in his words. "You know what the reward is?"

"Ah? Uh, yeah... I know, I asked the principal." The blush on Chu Li's face deepened, and he spoke with some hesitation.

"What is it? Why are you being so mysterious? Well, I'm going then." Gu Xiaoyue got up and headed toward the principal's office.

The principal's office was on the top floor of the school, so even during break time, it wasn't affected by the noisy students and remained relatively quiet.

Gu Xiaoyue knocked on the door and, after receiving the principal's permission, pushed the door open and went in.

Principal Liu was busy with official business. Seeing Gu Xiaoyue enter, he set his documents aside.

"Gu Xiaoyue, first of all, congratulations on winning first place in our first-ever class transfer competition. Based on your situation, the school has prepared a very good reward for you."

Principal Liu took a pet beast egg the size of a volleyball out of his desk drawer.

It was clear that Principal Liu valued this egg highly.

The pale blue pet beast egg was cradled on a blue lace cotton cushion, as if the egg were a fragile little princess.

Principal Liu held the pet beast egg with both hands. "Come, come, Gu Xiaoyue, go ahead and form the contract."

"Right now?" Gu Xiaoyue felt a bit embarrassed. Old Man Liu surely wouldn't think she'd turn around and sell this egg, would he?

Seeing how he treasured this egg, it must be very valuable.

"Yes, contract it now. Your next class is Pet Beast Training; you can take it directly to class." Principal Liu smiled gently, though he was nervous inside—would she be able to successfully form the contract?

Gu Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought Principal Liu was afraid she would sell the egg, although she had indeed had that thought—after all, she already had two Immortal Tier pet beasts.

However, Xiao Qi couldn't be scanned by the brain, and if Xiao Jiu were to reveal its Immortal Tier quality, her little life would likely be in danger.

The rewarded pet beast was safer; at least it could be brought out into the open, and the quality of what the school gave shouldn't be too high, right?

"Thank you, Principal. I'll form the contract now."

After some operations, the eggshell cracked open, and a pet beast that looked like a chick jumped out, but it was twice the size of a normal chick.

Its feathers were ice-blue, and it seemed to be shrouded in ice mist; one look at its quality and you could tell it wasn't low-ranked.

【 Name 】: Green Luan

【 Rank 】: Mid-grade Heaven Tier

【 Attribute 】: Ice attribute, Mental Power attribute, Space attribute

【 Skills 】: Ice Flame (Low-level), Luan Song (Low-level), Summon Fire Phoenix Master (Low-level)

【 Level 】: Young life stage 1

Gu Xiaoyue was a bit excited; these skills were too cool.

Ice Flame had a frostbite effect and was also an area-of-effect attack. Low-level Luan Song could make an opponent lose focus for 1-2 seconds, and increasing the skill level could extend the duration of the distraction.

You have to know that in battle, one second, or even a tenth of a second, could change the outcome of the fight.

These skills were just too cool!

But what the heck was "Summon Fire Phoenix Master"?

The low-level skill had a range of ten meters, mid-level was one hundred meters, high-level was one thousand meters, proficient was ten thousand meters, perfect was one hundred thousand meters, and at the pinnacle, there was no limit—it could even summon across space.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoyue had successfully formed the contract, Principal Liu showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly composed himself.

He knew Gu Xiaoyue had all attributes; looking at the attributes alone, this three-attribute Green Luan could be contracted. But contracting a pet beast with the Mental Power attribute required very high Mental Power from the Beastmaster, especially since the Green Luan was a Heaven Tier pet beast.

The bell for class rang, and Gu Xiaoyue wanted to take her leave.

Principal Liu gave a few more words of advice: "Train this pet beast well; it can serve as your main combat strength. Once you're older, the school administration doesn't object to you dating, but don't slack off; strive to get into a good Beastmaster academy."

Gu Xiaoyue was a bit bewildered by what the principal said. He told her to use the Green Luan as her main combat strength—he clearly didn't know about the Immortal Tier pet beasts in Gu Xiaoyue's possession.

What did he mean by not objecting to dating?

Unable to figure it out, Gu Xiaoyue said goodbye to the principal and walked quickly toward the pet beast training ground.

This class was Pet Beast Training. When she arrived, she was two minutes late, and Teacher Han was already speaking.

Gu Xiaoyue explained the reason for her lateness, and Teacher Han signaled for her to join the group.

"Alright, because the vast majority of your pet beasts are Young life stage 1, our recent curriculum is arranged around establishing a mental connection with your pet beasts and simple skill training. Come, everyone, summon your pet beasts."

The students immediately began drawing formations, and Gu Xiaoyue also pretended to draw one.

She had long since discovered that while others needed to draw formations to summon pet beasts, she only needed a thought.

After everyone had summoned their pet beasts, the students were very excited. When Gu Xiaoyue saw Chu Li's pet beast, many things she hadn't understood before suddenly became clear.

This Chu Li!
