My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 22 Initial Battle Test (Please add to your favorites! Please continue reading!)

Sizzle! Sizzle!

When Li Yi's sticky baby saw fireworks, it was as if it exploded. Its originally smooth surface suddenly stood up with sharp spikes under the intense emotional fluctuations, making it look like a hedgehog.

"Is your clingy baby alright?" Zhou Lu asked cautiously.

Although he knew why the clingy baby had become like this.

"My dad said it's because of excessive mucus secretion that he's exhausted," Li Yi said with a smile. "Just drink more water and he'll be fine."

As he spoke, Li Yi soothed the sticky baby on his head: "Go play with Hanabi, we need to discuss some tactics."

Upon hearing this, Nianbaobao immediately exuded a sense of despair.

Fireworks: (*▽｀*)

Li Yi assumed that the clingy baby was a little depressed, which strengthened his resolve to let it play with other spirit pets to help regulate its depressed mood.

Little did they know, his beloved son had become depressed because of fireworks.

Letting the three spirit pets play aside, Xu Wuhu took out the examiner information that had been released this time:

"Liang Quan, a professor of combat, an elite-level beast tamer, whose main spirit pet is a third-tier water frog, but this time he used a second-tier mud monster for the exam."

In official terms, the ranking of Beast Tamers is actually the same as that of Spirit Beasts, which are divided into five ranks from first to fifth.

However, at the grassroots level, due to the prosperity of beast taming competitions, beast tamers have other titles starting from the third tier, namely elite, commander-in-chief, and king.

These names, originally used to refer to contestants in competitions, have gradually been adopted by the general public as they have spread among fans.

"A mud monster..." Zhou Lu mused.

"Liang Quan..." Li Yi looked at Xu Wuhu, "I remember Liang Quan is..."

"A former general of the pioneering army," Xu Wuhu said. "He used to be my elder brother's subordinate. I don't know why he was fired by my brother, and then he came here to become a professor in the combat department."

"You can still become a professor after being expelled?"

"He's the eldest son of the Liang family, of course." Li Yi chuckled. "That's normal. My family even forced me to donate money and put me in the combat department. I originally wanted to apply for the training department."

"I'm sorry, I might be dragging you down this time." Xu Wuhu's face was grim. He wasn't the type of person who liked to cause trouble for others. "The mud monster happens to be the type I'm not good at dealing with, so I'm afraid I won't get a high score."

Judging from Xu Wuhu's expression, he has already given up on the first exam.

"I think... maybe we can devise a strategy and try it out," Zhou Lu said, watching Hua Huo patting the sticky baby.

Xu Wuhu and Li Yi both looked at Zhou Lu.

"I have some ideas, but I need an opponent who can use the Sludge Monster." Zhou Lu looked at the two of them.

To Zhou Lu's surprise, the two of them hesitated.

"Huh? Can't find it?"

"Cough cough, the Mud Monster is too ugly..." Li Yi coughed twice and said, "Although it's similar to the Sticky Baby in terms of fighting style, it's too ugly... and dirty... and ugly."

"Alright." Zhou Lu stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Then I'll try to find a training opponent with a mud monster. Come with me."

Zhou Lu led the two back to his dormitory.

"Teacher Xiaoxi, can you still contact the bricklayer we found a few days ago?" Zhou Lu asked directly.

Xiao Xi looked at Zhou Lu warily: "Those are special workers, they're very expensive. What do you want to do?"

Zhou Lu opened his mouth, about to speak, when he heard a loud rumbling sound from the side.

Hanabi stood with her hands on her hips, head held high with pride: (*￣︶￣*)

"Ahhhhhh!!! My wall!"

******

Five days later, the preliminary combat test for the second-year students of Xin'an Beast Taming Academy officially began.

After the fireworks collapsed the wall again, Xiaoxi had no choice but to call in the same workers from last time.

Of course, the money for this training was pooled together by the three of them, including the cost of hiring the worker to accompany them.

It must be said that the Mud Monster is indeed the natural enemy of Xu Wuhu.

His usual tactic was to use the Silver Armor Rat to possess himself and then charge into melee combat with the enemy.

However, the nature of the mud monster makes it virtually impossible for it to suffer real physical damage, and it will also attach itself to Xu Wuhu during the battle, gradually slowing down his movements.

However, after several days of training, Xu Wuhu, with the help of Huahuo and Nianbaobao, finally found a way to fight the Mud Monster.

The test officially began shortly after they had mastered the tactic.

The initial combat test is the most important exam at the Beast Taming Academy.

Many future famous beast tamers often distinguish themselves in this exam.

In this era, many achieve fame at a young age, but few achieve greatness later in life.

The saying "One should become famous as early as possible" is not just empty talk in today's world.

You must demonstrate your investment value as early as possible, and then use the resources invested in you to enhance your strength, growing like a snowball.

Then... it becomes possible to climb to the starting line of some people while you are still young enough to strive.

For Zhou Lu, this exam was the most important one.

"Hey, at least you're not late for the exam now." Li Yi, yawning and sporting a bald head, walked over.

For the past few days of training, Zhou Lu has been consistently four to five hours late every day. However, considering that this guy treats him to meals and milk tea every day, he doesn't say anything.

But why does my beloved always look completely drained whenever she sees this guy?

Thinking of this, Li Yi scrutinized Zhou Lu in front of him.

Because of the tendency to cling to babies, there are indeed perverts in this world who use clinginess to satisfy their physiological needs...

Zhou Lu felt Li Yi's strange gaze, his lips twitched slightly, and he didn't know how to explain.

Hanabi really likes to smear her branches and leaves with the sticky substance from the sticky baby.

Besides making it sticky and better in battle, more importantly, the slime from the Sticky Baby has excellent fire-retardant and waterproof properties, which is a fantastic attribute for a plant-type spirit beast.

We need to find an opportunity for Hanabi to learn a sticky baby skill.

Otherwise, if I squeeze every last drop of Li Yi's sticky treasure out of him, people will start looking at me strangely.

"Why hasn't the class monitor arrived yet?"

Zhou Lu asked.

Li Yi pointed into the distance: "It looks like it's over there."

Zhou Lu looked in the direction and saw a young man standing in front of Xu Wuhu with a mocking smile on his face.

Liang Quan.

Zhou Lu's heart stirred.

The examiner in the first round of testing had a grudge against Xu Wuhu's brother.

"Let's go take a look," Zhou Lu said to Li Yi, who was standing beside him.

"Are these your two teammates for this exam?" Liang Quan, who was talking to Xu Wuhu, spotted Zhou Lu and Li Yi at a glance.

He paused for a moment and looked down at the fireworks in Zhou Lu's arms.

"A plant-type spirit beast?" He couldn't help but sneer. "I know you, Zhou Lu, right? I don't know what went wrong with your father. He had to force a farming-type into a combat-type."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Wuhu, whose face was gradually darkening: "You Xu family brothers really do like to carry heavy burdens as always."

As he spoke, his eyes were no longer on Xu Wuhu, but on the VIP seats at the very top of the stands.

Xu Wuhu's older brother, Xu Yilong, was sitting there at the moment. He seemed to have noticed what was happening on his younger brother's side and had already turned his gaze over.

Liang Quan chuckled and turned away, muttering to himself as he left:

"What a disgusting personality."
