Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

three days later.

At the entrance of Grandma Tree Ecological Manor, North Campus of Zhongdu University.

I hope that Ran will arrive early on his steel giraffe.

"The exam for advanced trainers is actually being held here?"

Grandpa Liang gazed at the thirty-meter-high castle gate, overwhelmed with mixed emotions:

"Brother Zhu, are you feeling the pressure? Besides the students in our class, you're also facing competition from junior students and seasoned veterans who are a year or two older than us."

"And there will definitely be students from other schools assigned to our exam room, and there may even be people from the working world who are 20 or 30 years older than us, or even 40 or 50 years older... The competition is quite fierce."

Zhu Ran is browsing the Douying backstage.

I've released three short videos in the past few days, and my followers have surpassed 1000, successfully activating the short video incentive program.

Hearing Grandpa Liang's rambling, Zhu Ran looked up, glanced at the gathered crowd, and calmly said:

"Even though the pass rate is only one in five, there are at least fifty people in each exam room. Our goal is to be in the top ten, so surely we have a chance?"

"Sigh." Grandpa Liang frowned. "If it were me, I'd probably be incredibly anxious right now. My current mindset is definitely not suitable for registering..."

"Zhu Ran?"

The jet-powered turtle hovered at the entrance of the manor.

Shang Yunying jumped to the ground and immediately spotted the huge steel giraffe, then noticed the two figures on its back.

"You guys came to join in the fun too?"

Whenever there is an assessment for senior instructors, the area around the examination venue is always packed with people.

There are many people who have the potential to become senior mentors, whether they are from other majors within the Institute of Mentorship, or from the business school and engineering school.

Moreover, Zhu Ran and Liang Baizhou are in the same major and the same class.

It's perfectly reasonable for them to come and scout the location.

Shang Yunying turned her head and ignored the matter, excitedly saying:

"Good luck! 1145 followers! Keep it up, let's aim for 2000 by the end of the month!"

"Why are you more concerned than I am?" Zhu Ran chuckled.

"That's what happens when you're an angel investor!"

Shang Yunying exclaimed, "Did you receive the engine oil and liquid batteries? Remember to feed DouDing on time. Its daily filming time should not exceed twelve hours; make sure it gets a break..."

Zhu Ran repeatedly agreed.

Qin Yin and Yu Manrong, who came with them, one with a solemn expression and the other expressionless, immediately observed their potential competitors.

"Is that Chu Yang from the third-year Species Evolution class? The young master of the Chu Group must have mastered a lot of evolution formulas, and he may very well pass the license test on his first try."

"That girl is a top student at Beihai University. Although she didn't succeed last time, her ranking was extremely high, so her chances of advancing this time are very high!"

"Why is Old Zhou here too? He must have taken the exam at least twenty times, and still hasn't passed..."

The two exchanged information continuously.

Zhu Ran was close by, so he naturally heard everything clearly.

"Where's the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly? Has it been put away?"

Shang Yunying looked around but couldn't find that cold figure, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Yu Manrong reminded her, "Yunying, did you put away those sealed cards? Remember, you can't bring them into the exam room, otherwise it will be treated as cheating."

Shang Yunying said dejectedly, "This is my third time taking the test, how could I make such a childish mistake? Rongrong, on the other hand, did you cut your nails? Don't let it affect your performance..."

Zhu Ran glanced at the time.

7 points.

Final check of attire.

The red sealed card containing DouDing had already been handed over to Grandpa Liang for safekeeping on the way here.

7 points.

The exam bell rang.

The candidates filed in.

Qin Yin, Yu Manrong, and Shang Yunying were placed in the middle to rear of the group, moving forward in turn.

Zhu Ran followed closely behind, his expression calm.

"What are you doing following me?"

Shang Yunying turned around unintentionally and saw Zhu Ran still behind her, looking completely bewildered.

"You paid 50,000 yuan, there's no reason for you to miss the exam, right?"

Zhu Ran lowered his voice, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"???"

Shang Yunying was taken aback, and immediately pinched Yu Manrong in front of her:

"Rongrong, Zhu Ran said he signed up too, and he'll be taking the exam with us..."

Yu Manrong turned around and looked at Zhu Ran with puzzled eyes.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Wasn't Zhu Ran supposed to die?

[Pass Identity Verification]

Please hand over your phone and release your spirit armor.

As they passed through the castle gate, Qin Yin handed over her phone.

Cell phones can access the internet and are considered prohibited items, so they will be kept by the invigilators during the seven-day exam period.

Then.

Qin Yin manifested a grass-green energy armor.

To prove that you are ranked second, you meet the prerequisites for the exam.

The entire process is as follows.

The proctor nodded slightly, indicating that Qin Yin could enter.

after that.

Yu Manrong.

Shang Yunying.

Both of them passed the verification somewhat absentmindedly.

Then, it was Zhu Ran's turn.

Zhu Ran handed over his phone and summoned the Ice Armor.

The proctor, who was not from this college, clearly did not recognize him, nodded, and let him pass directly.

"Ice elemental energy armor... This is impossible..."

In front.

Shang Yunying, who had deliberately slowed her pace, turned around and saw this scene, her small mouth forming a circle.

Yu Manrong was no less shocked than she was.

Zhu Ran is actually able to manifest a spirit armor?

How did he advance to the second-life beast tamer in just a few days?

Questions, like wild horses, surged wildly through my mind.

Qin Yin finally noticed something was wrong with the two sisters.

Following their gaze, they saw Zhu Ran walking towards them with his hands in his pockets, as if he were going for a stroll.

"Miss Shang, there's no need to wait a few years. I'll take the exam with you today."

Zhu Ran's smile was faint, without the slightest hint of arrogance.

But his voice, when it reached the ears of the three, was no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake.

"Banned drugs? Gambling with your life?"

This was the only possibility that Shang Yunying could think of at that moment.

In the dark corners of the city, there are bound to be illegal drugs. Some of these drugs may not be that expensive, but they may require you to risk your life or even your life to gamble on a one in ten or even one in twenty chance.

Surely it's impossible that Zhu Ran would take such a risk just because of her joke, and then succeed by sheer luck?

The three women stared intently at Zhu Ran as if he were a monster.

Zhu Ran sighed: "Don't ask. In short, I am now at the second life level, qualified to participate in this exam, and I must participate in this exam."

Yu Manrong frowned.

Chu Yang, the top students from Beihai University... the chances of those people making it into the top ten are certainly not low.

However, the name "Zhu Ran" was added to the list of potential rivals.

That pressure suddenly expanded.

It felt like we were back in our freshman year, when everyone was working together to prepare for the junior trainer exam, and one person turned their back to them and silently walked into the intermediate exam room.

That night, I couldn't sleep a wink.

Even the Gemini stars, who are rated A, are probably wondering if they lack talent or work hard enough.

Three years later.

That monster, that man known as the "study maniac," stepped into the examination hall once again.

Can he still stir up trouble and create waves in the hospital?
