I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

"This is a special spatial equipment, in which a high-level alchemist has solidified the [Slave Contract] and the [Secondary Beast Taming Space]."

"Only by wearing this ring can you store magical beasts within it, summon them at any time, and give them simple commands."

"but"

Zuo Tiancheng abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming stern: "This means you must sacrifice a precious ring slot!"

"You should know that high-level rings and accessories often come with extremely strong attribute bonuses."

"To raise a pet, you might give up valuable attribute bonuses, or even a powerful skill."

"You need to figure this out yourselves!"

Many students in the audience frowned and looked troubled.

This is indeed a difficult decision.

Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Zuo Tiancheng continued:

"Besides the sacrifice of equipment slots, there is an even more fatal problem."

"Loyalty!"

"You do not possess the Beastmaster's specialized skills such as [Mind Communication] and [Wild Soothing]."

"If you go directly into the wild and capture an adult magical beast, and forcibly sign a contract with it."

"Even with the suppression of the Contract Ring."

"Once you are injured, weakened, or the monster's level exceeds yours."

"They could devour their owner at any moment!!"

At this point, Zuo Tiancheng's eyes turned icy cold: "I've seen plenty of fools on the Abyss Battlefield whose throats have been bitten out by their own pets!"

The atmosphere in the classroom instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Su Qing's face turned pale, and she subconsciously grabbed Tang Yu's clothes.

"What should we do then?"

Someone couldn't help but raise their hand and ask.

Zuo Tiancheng snorted coldly, turned around and wrote a big word on the blackboard: Egg!

"Raise them from the eggs!"

"Don't even think about capturing the adults, not even the cubs; they're too wild to tame!"

"It must be an unhatched egg!"

"The first thing it saw when it hatched was you; the first food it ate was fed by you."

"Only in this way can we establish a deep bond like that between mother and child by utilizing the biological imprinting effect."

"Only then can you make up for your lack of professional skills!"

"Of course, it's also a bottomless pit of money," Zuo Tiancheng timely poured cold water on the situation. "A high-potential pet egg can easily cost millions or tens of millions, and the prices of mixed dragon eggs and sub-dragon eggs are even more astronomical!"

"The cost of milk powder after hatching, evolution materials, and advanced magic cores"

"Those are money-devouring beasts!"

"If you don't have enough money, I suggest you just stick to wearing a ring that adds stats and don't bother with these fancy things."

Two hours later.

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

Lin Yuan followed the crowd out of the classroom, Professor Zuo's words still echoing in his mind.

"The Ring of Contract"

"Pet Egg"

"Cultivating from a young age"

Lin Yuan seemed to be deep in thought.

If you can get a high-potential flying magical beast, or a pet with special abilities.

Even sacrificing a ring slot is a huge win!

a few days later.

War Academy, freshman enrollment day.

The campus, which had been quiet for a holiday, has once again become bustling with activity.

Countless young faces, some with dreams and others with trepidation, entered this academy that represents the highest level of human combat power.

For Lin Yuan, these few days before the start of school were not a time of leisure.

He also upgraded the two skills, [Divine Resurrection] and [Titan Wall], which he had not previously leveled up to the maximum level, to the same level as his class.

Not only that, his level also increased from level 25 to level 28.

The gold attribute "Omniscient and Omnipotent" has also been upgraded from level 3 to level 4. He can now see detailed information about all targets no more than 50 levels higher than himself.

And his defense points have finally broken through the 40,000 mark, which gives him a great sense of security.

He's happy to keep these defense points now; they're precious and can't be wasted.

In just a few days, Lin Yuan has made such a rapid improvement, which can be described as extremely fast.

Of course, this rapid increase in points resulted in a significant reduction in points. Originally, I had 180,000 points (30,000 of which were spent to enter the Burial Grounds of the Dead), but now I only have 140,000 points left.

He only got these points after selling all the materials he didn't need.

There's nothing we can do about it. Some materials can drop very easily the first time, but the drop rate decreases afterward because the cooldown period for that material hasn't ended yet.

The first three days after the start of the semester are for the new students to adapt to the war academy, and various lectures will be held during these three days.

For example, their future prospects, the teaching philosophy of the War Academy, the Abyss Battlefield, and so on.

That evening, at the food street outside the school.

The atmosphere was lively inside a private room at a restaurant called "Hunter's BBQ".

The sizzling grill was piled high with premium monster meat, its aroma irresistible.

Lin Yuan sat in the main seat, with two familiar faces sitting opposite him.

My best friend Xia Chen, whom I haven't seen for a month.

And that aloof but actually very righteous rich woman, Ouyang Xue.

"Brother Yuan! I missed you so much!"

Xia Chen, holding a glass of ice-cold beer, her face flushed, was clearly a little excited: "You have no idea how I've spent the past month at home!"

"My parents nag me every day, saying that while I'm at the university for special training, I'm still at home playing games. They almost kicked me out of the house. Besides, it's not like I haven't been doing dungeons; they just wish I could spend all day in dungeons!"

Ouyang Xue elegantly cut a piece of steak, then rolled her eyes upon hearing this: "That's because you're lazy."

Then, she looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry:

"Lin Yuan, you arrived a month earlier than us."

"How's this war academy like?"

Lin Yuan took a sip of his drink, thought for a moment, and commented objectively, "Not bad. The competitive atmosphere here is intense, but only in this way can one become stronger."

"In the academy, points are the hard currency. As long as you have enough points, you can run any dungeon you want."

So, let's work hard to earn points!

Xia Chen and Ouyang Xue exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes. It seemed they had to start making some moves!

"Oh, right."

Ouyang Xue seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "Lin Yuan, since you arrived here early, what level are you now?"

The moment this question was asked, even Xia Chen, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, stopped what he was doing and started listening intently.

You should know that Lin Yuan was in the class of 20 when he took the college entrance examination a month ago.

Lin Yuan put down his cup, sighed, and shook his head with a look of shame: "Sigh, don't mention it."

"Having been here for so long, I've been busy every day getting familiar with the environment, gaining experience, and repairing equipment."

"I haven't leveled up much, I'm only level 28 right now."

The private room fell silent instantly.
