Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 61 Super Double? A Battle of Revenge! Professor Zhou's Request!

The group of people on the sidelines looked at each other, wondering who would go up next.

Go go go!

It doesn't matter who plays!

Just as they were pushing each other, a clear voice rang out.

"I'll do it!"

kindness?

Everyone turned around to look, wondering where this warrior had come from.

Qi Yue stepped out from the crowd.

Qiao Bai smiled, and Xiao Wu's eyes lit up as he looked at Qi Yue.

oh oh oh!

The fox is here!

The day of revenge for the bird has arrived!

Little Wu jumped even more excitedly on the Shadow Panther's back!

Qi Yue watched Xiao Wu's actions, and her gaze unconsciously shifted to Qiao Bai, a look that was hard to describe.

Qiao Bai, who understood what Qi Yue was thinking: "..."

"Would you believe me if I said that Xiao Wu's habits have nothing to do with me?" Qiao Bai blinked and said seriously.

Qi Yue nodded: "I understand, I understand, I understand everything."

Qiao Bai: Very good, they didn't believe a single word of it.

Qiao Bai sighed with amusement and offered no further explanation.

It's simply because... it doesn't make any sense.

Actually, Xiao Wu didn't have this hobby at first, but perhaps as its strength and bloodline improved, and with the cheers of those around it, Xiao Wu's bird-like instinct to show off gradually became stronger.

Did they win?

Then I must show off my beautiful feathers!

Xiao Wu's boastful actions changed from bouncing a couple more times on Qiao Bai's shoulder to dancing on his opponent's "corpse".

When Xiao Wu did this for the first time, Qiao Bai felt that the way his opponents looked at him had changed.

Opponent: Holy crap! This guy's doing it on purpose! He's taunting! He's provoking!

No!

I'm going to fight back!

Otherwise, I simply couldn't swallow this insult!

Before long... Qiao Bai didn't know how it happened, but he had become the big boss of the training ground.

What can Qiao Bai do?

Nicknames are given by others, and being called the Great Demon King... doesn't seem so bad. In fact, even more people came to challenge him to a duel, so Qiao Bai just let others say what they wanted.

He couldn't shut those people up.

But when he ran into acquaintances... Qiao Bai still felt the most basic awkwardness.

"Ahem." Qiao Bai coughed twice. "Want to come?"

Qi Yue nodded.

The guy in the pink dress, nicknamed "Hardcore Barbie," quickly recalled his Shadow Leopard, making room for Qi Yue.

Qi Yue walked to the opposite side of Qiao Bai, waved her hand, and shouted with great momentum, "Come out, Fire Fox Queen!"

"Eek~"

The moment the alluring, bewitching red fox appeared, it instantly drew everyone's attention. Whether it was the audience in the stands or the beast tamers surrounding it, everyone's eyes widened, and they all exclaimed in unison, "Wow—!"

What a beautiful fox!

Many people even felt that they had seen a real fox-eared girl!

That's the vixen vibe!

A small number of discerning individuals recognized the Fire Fox Queen's true identity, and their exclamations were no less dramatic than those who were simply attracted by her beauty.

"Wow! The Firefox Queen! It's really the Firefox Queen! I thought that academic conference during the summer was fake! I never thought I'd actually see the Firefox Queen in person today!"

"How can the little fox evolve to be so beautiful! Damn it! My new waifu is tempting me right in front of me, next time I'm going to contract a fox too!"

"I was wondering why the Great Demon King looked so familiar... He's that young genius who figured out a new evolution path for the Little Fire Fox!"

The people on the sidelines communicated like this.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Qiao Bai became increasingly incredulous.

In this month, Qiao Bai successfully established himself as the undisputed "King" in the rookie training field.

No one doubts the strength that Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu have demonstrated!

Although they kept saying they were not convinced, they were more or less convinced by Xiao Wu's defeat.

In their view, Qiao Bai would undoubtedly become a powerful and skilled beast tamer, which they could understand and accept.

But what did they hear today?

It turns out that Qiao Bai is not only skilled at training pets, but he is also a scientific research genius!

The aspiring beast tamers watching were speechless.

Stop talking! Stop talking!

If we keep talking, they're really going to lose their composure!

Why is there such a big difference between people?

Is it because they didn't pay to use cheats when playing the game of life?

Countless people were moved to tears.

Qiao Bai and Qi Yue were unaware of the whispers around them.

Because, the moment the Fire Fox Queen and Little U made eye contact, a sound as if lightning and thunder resounded across the field!

Sparks flew everywhere!

With just a glance, Little Wu and the Fire Fox Queen were engulfed in flames!

"Little Wu, do your best. Today is your revenge battle."

Qiao Bai knew what Xiao Wu was thinking.

I also know why Little U can't forget the Little Fire Fox he once fought.

The battle against Little Fox was Little U's first battle, and the result was another defeat, leaving a very deep impression on Little U.

Xiao Wu wasn't entirely without losses in his later matches.

But for Little Fox, Little Fox is still the most unique one!

Losing to Little Fox wasn't a matter of skill, but rather a matter of experience. This is why Little U can't forget it and is determined to prove his strength in an even more intense battle.

The little bird flapped its wings and flew in mid-air, its pair of black, beady eyes shining brightly.

The Fire Fox Queen also stared at Little U, her pupils completely transforming into the image of a predator.

The battle hadn't even started yet, but the spectators watching from the sidelines had already subconsciously held their breath, afraid of accidentally disturbing the special atmosphere.

"three."

"two."

"one--"

"The match begins—!"

As the referee's small flag fell.

The atmosphere, which had been stretched to its limit, suddenly exploded!

"The Fiery Fox Queen, with a regal aura!"

Qi Yue launched the first attack, intending to intimidate Xiao Wu with her aura before attacking him!

"Eek~"

The moment Qi Yue finished speaking, the Fire Fox Queen unleashed an astonishingly powerful aura. Her already arrogant posture became even more haughty within this special aura, which seemed to solidify into a physical form! She looked down upon all living beings!

But both Qiao Bai himself and the beast tamers watching around him had a slightly strange expression... just a tiny bit.

The aura of a king...

They weren't sure if it was just their imagination, but it didn't seem to have the same intimidating power as when Xiao Wu used it before...

It seems the big fox's kingly aura can't intimidate them!

Thinking of this, the prospective beast tamers and their pets who were watching all around, almost all of whom had been crushed by Xiao Wu, trembled—it seemed that they had unknowingly transformed into the shape of a great demon king!

hateful!

They don't want this at all!

If this continues, they really will have to join forces to assassinate the Great Demon King!

Qiao Bai: A chill ran down my spine.jpg

Qiao Bai ignored the fleeting feeling; a smile played on his lips.

The beast tamers watching could all sense the difference; the Fire Fox Queen's regal aura had absolutely no effect on Little Wu.

"Little Wu, use Super Multiplier."

hmmmm?

Qi Yue, who was waiting for Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu to struggle, had a series of question marks on her face.

Qi Yue looked at them with a strange, incomprehensible gaze.

No?

Use Super Multiplier?

Are you sure Qiao Bai is okay?

【Super Multiplier: After use, it will repeat the damage caused by the previous skill attack on the opponent, thus doubling the damage (there is a 30% chance that the damage will double again)】

If the previous move dealt significant damage to the opponent's pet, the damage can be doubled again.

It is a very practical special attribute skill.

The problem is... Little Wu didn't do any damage to the Fire Fox Queen either!

If there's no initial wave of damage, how can there be doubled damage?

next second.

Eight blazing pillars of fire rose from the ground, surrounding the Fire Fox Queen in the very center. Countless scorching flames rolled and leaped, as if dancing in the air. The overwhelming firelight and scorching heat stung the eyes of everyone present, including Qi Yue.

Qi Yue: "!"

Lin Weiwei: "!"

What happened...what happened?

"...This is...the Fire Fox Queen's Dance of Flames?!" Qi Yue's voice was filled with shock and disbelief.

Lin Weiwei, who was watching from the sidelines, wasn't much better off.

Her cherry-like lips were so shocked she couldn't close them.

Dance of Flames...who used it?

Little Wu?

Putting aside whether Xiao Wu knows this skill or not, the main problem is that they haven't seen Xiao Wu use it!

"Eek—"

The Fire Fox Queen was also shocked by the sudden dance of fire, her upturned fox eyes wide open, the fiery red light reflected in them, her expression full of astonishment.

But the Fiery Fox Queen is the Fiery Fox Queen!

As a supernatural being with the attribute of a king, the "king" in Fire Fox Queen refers not only to the king among the little fire foxes, but also to the king who uses "fire"!

"Eek—!"

The Fire Fox Queen let out a long howl, her melodious and alluring voice resounding throughout the entire venue!

The flames surrounding it suddenly scattered in all directions!

Just as the flames were about to burst out of the designated area of ​​the battlefield, a transparent energy shield, normally invisible, rose up, firmly containing the flames within the area where Little U and the Fire Fox Queen were fighting.

Qiao Bai and Qi Yue, who were closest to them, were not affected in any way.

The beast tamers watching nearby instinctively held their breath.

Wow... wow!

This was the first time they had ever encountered such a situation!

Although they knew that the damage on the battlefield would not affect them, they still panicked when faced with a situation that endangered their lives and safety.

The Fire Fox Queen's natural control over fire meant that the Dance of Flames didn't cause it much damage; only a small part of its fur was singed, instantly turning its long fur into short fur.

After seeing the burned fur, the Fire Fox Queen's gaze towards Little U became sharp.

Before the Fiery Fox Queen could retaliate.

The extra heat made its fur even shorter. If it burns a little longer, that small patch of fur will be bald!

Fiery Fox Queen: "!!!"

"Waaah! Waaah!"

Can't stand it!

This is the only thing I can't tolerate!

"Fire Fox Queen, Flame Bite!"

Seeing the Fire Fox Queen's anger, Qi Yue pressed her advantage, causing the Fire Fox Queen to unleash 200% damage while carrying 100% hatred towards Xiao Wu!

"Little U, use Blink spell, then approach it!"

Qiao Bai used facts to tell Qi Yue that the current Xiao Wu is no longer the Xiao Wu of two months ago.

The flying skills that were once a weakness can no longer hold Xiao Wu back.

With its round, small body, Little Wu sped through the air, crashing and scrambling!

Want to hit Little U in one blow?

That depends on how well the live target practice goes!

The little bird spread its wings, and once again, dazzling light and fireworks appeared on the field.

The tiny creature was concealed within the dazzling light, resembling a black lightning bolt, dodging left and right while fiercely approaching the Fire Fox Queen.

"Fire Fox Queen, deploy smoke screen!"

"Little Crow, use your peck!"

The two voices rang out at the same time.

Thick, acrid smoke billowed up from the field, but it was too late!

The little bird snuck close to the Fire Fox Queen's body and precisely pecked at the spot on her belly where the fur was almost burned off!

Fiery Queen, sensing the direction of Little U's attack: (O)_(O)!

The Fiery Fox Queen's eyes widened in disbelief!

Bad bird!

Its fur!

It's really going to be gone!

The Fire Fox Queen waved her furry claws, ready to grab Little Crow!

Xiao Wu: Hehe~

Taking advantage of its small size and agility, Xiao Wu abandoned precise pinpoint attacks and switched to multi-directional sneak attacks, taking a bite here and a bite there.

Amidst a chaotic flurry of flashes, fireworks, and billowing smoke.

Whether it was Qiao Bai and Qi Yue fighting, the beast tamers watching from the sidelines, or the audience sitting in their seats, they couldn't see anything.

But they could hear the Fire Fox Queen's screams growing more and more shrill and frantic.

"Eek!"

"Waaah!"

"Waaaaah~!"

Bad bird!

Big bad bird!

You're not allowed to pick at its fur anymore!

Little Crow: I won't listen, I won't listen, the fox is chanting scriptures.

Hehe~

Take a bite from the tail!

A bite on the butt!

Fairness must be applied even to the belly—oh ho!

Before I knew it, that little patch of hair on my belly had completely gone bald!

Finally realizing the seriousness of the problem, Little Crow stopped playing hide-and-seek with the Fire Fox Queen and ran away without looking back.

The bird did nothing, and the bird knew nothing.

The bird is a good bird.

When the smoke and flashes cleared...

"Pfft—"

I don't know who couldn't hold back and let out a small laugh.

In the otherwise silent space, it sounded particularly jarring... and jarring.

The Fiery Fox Queen's piercing gaze followed!

Qi Yue: "..."

Qi Yue clenched her fist and pressed it against her mouth, pressing her lip tightly to prevent it from flying off in front of the Fire Fox Queen.

Otherwise... Qi Yue suspected that the Fire Fox Queen would come up and devour its master in the next second.

Qi Yue swore she really didn't want to laugh, right...?

The Fiery Fox Queen's appearance is so funny it makes you want to laugh.

The Fire Fox Queen's once glossy, smooth, long fur had turned into patchy bald patches, with the bald spot on her belly being the most noticeable, revealing her pinkish belly beneath the fur.

The hair between the two big, fluffy ears also stood up in a tuft.

It's not the cute little tuft of hair like a cowlick, it's the kind that looks a bit silly... cough cough.

I can't watch anymore.

If she kept watching, Qi Yue really wouldn't be able to suppress the corners of her mouth from smiling.

Lin Weiwei, who was outside the venue, and Qiao Bai, who was opposite her, didn't have as much restraint. They both chuckled softly.

Fiery Fox Queen: — I'm so angry! So angry!

"Fire Fox Queen, calm down! Use thermal energy, then attack with a fireball!"

There's nothing left to endure at this point.

Get into good form, and then engage in a life-or-death battle with Xiao Wu!

"Waaaaah!"

The Fiery Fox Queen's eyes gleamed with a fiery light, and her heavy paws stomped on the floor with a powerful sound!

boom--

Rumbling--

A series of fireballs the size of basketballs spewed out from the Fire Fox Queen's open mouth; any one of them could have completely swallowed Little U!

"A heart that protects."

A soft light shone from Xiao Wu's body.

Block those oncoming fireballs one by one!

"A kingly aura!"

A powerful aura swept across the entire venue!

Qi Yue and the Fire Fox Queen's eyes were blank.

This...this aura...this is...Little Wu's kingly aura?!

Unlike Qi Yue, the surrounding beast tamers let out a low cheer: "Oh, oh, oh—that's the feeling—this is the oppressive aura of a king we're familiar with!"

That's the feeling!

Compared to the kingly aura used by the Fiery Fox Queen before, this one is just right!

"Give it the final blow, a peck!"

The little bird spread its wings like lightning, and in that instant, its body seemed to grow enormous. Its tender yellow beak transformed into an invisible spear, which it fiercely attacked the Fire Fox Queen!

"Ouch—!"

Stunned and frozen in place, the Fire Fox Queen was caught off guard and sent flying dozens of meters away before crashing heavily to the ground with her tail pointing upwards. She spat out a mouthful of crimson blood and collapsed unconscious.

"The Fire Fox Queen has lost her ability to fight."

"The winner is Qiao Bai!"

The referee blew his whistle, declaring the final winner.

The prospective Beast Tamers, who hadn't seen such a thrilling battle between two equally matched opponents in a long time, all clapped enthusiastically until their hands were red and still didn't stop.

worth!

Both the strength shown by the Fire Fox Queen and the strength shown by Little U are worthy of such treatment!

That's right...

"...I don't think the little skirt trick works. Look at that girl who contracted the Fire Fox Queen, how beautiful and gorgeous she is! The Great Demon King didn't show any mercy at all!"

"Or else you could say the Great Demon King is the Great Demon King?"

"This proves the Demon King is definitely single! I can accept that the Demon King can easily defeat me in strength and crush me in intellect, but I can't accept that the Demon King is a social butterfly!"

the other side.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yue quickly recalled the Fire Fox Queen into the Beast Taming Space of her spiritual sea.

You can't lift the Fire Fox Queen by carrying her.

However, Qi Yue is still able to uphold the bottom line of maintaining the dignity of the Fire Fox Queen and prevent Xiao Wu from trampling on it.

And then there's this... Qi Yue is afraid that if the Fire Fox Queen wakes up and finds out that Xiao Wu was dancing on her... she probably won't have a peaceful day from now on.

Fortunately, Little Wu didn't seem to have any intention of "whipping" the Fire Fox Queen. Instead, it flew back to Qiao Bai's shoulder, shaking its head and puffing out its chest, as if it wanted to show itself off in every way.

"You..." After putting away the Fire Fox Queen, Qi Yue looked at Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu, choked up, and didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Wu is amazing now, he's improving incredibly fast."

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yue decided to follow her heart and loudly praise Xiao Wu.

Little Wu raised its head even higher. If Qiao Bai hadn't reached out and caught it, Little Wu would have fallen off Qiao Bai's shoulder!

Xiao Wu: ╭(╯^╰)╮

That's right!

This young lady is amazing!

Because I have an absolutely amazing beast tamer!

"Our efforts over the past two months haven't been in vain; Xiao Wu has been incredibly diligent," Qiao Bai said with a smile, brushing aside the tuft of hair on Xiao Wu's head.

Qi Yue glanced at Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu, but what she didn't say was that raising Xiao Wu's strength to this level in just two months was not something that could be achieved by hard work alone.

Then she remembered the post she had seen before coming here.

The "beginner village demon king" thing... Qi Yue thought it was a bit exaggerated at the time, but after fighting Xiao Wu again, Qi Yue no longer thought so.

Both Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu deserve this title.

"Want to go for treatment together?" Qi Yue invited. "Xiao Wu has fought several battles this morning, hasn't he? Shouldn't he take a short rest?"

"We haven't seen each other in ages! You can't expect me and Weiwei to make this whole trip just to fight you, can you?" Qi Yue said, drawing out her words.

Qiao Bai glanced at Qi Yue, then looked at Lin Weiwei outside the arena and gave her a shy smile.

After thinking about it, Qiao Bai did not refuse.

"Okay, let's go together then."

Qiao Bai, who usually plays a few more games before leaving, left early today.

Lin Weiwei and Qi Yue walked hand in hand with Qiao Bai, and the three of them headed towards the service station. The prospective beast tamers around them made way for them, watching their departing figures in silence, without a single person saying a word.

Until they could no longer see Qiao Bai and the others.

That's when the old man's voice rang out, his face streaked with tears, sniffling and choking back sobs.

"...I lost! I've completely lost to the Great Demon King this time! Two of them! Two of them!"

……

Qiao Bai was completely unaware of what was happening behind him.

Although the Fiery Fox Queen vomited blood, it was not a serious matter after treatment, and she quickly recovered.

Xiao Wu doesn't even need to lie in the treatment chamber; a single bottle of special nutritional liquid is enough to fully replenish its energy.

Lin Weiwei watched in astonishment: "Little Wu has really become amazing!"

Little Wu proudly puffed out its chest: Yes! That's right! That's exactly it! Praise me! Keep praising me!

Seeing Xiao Wu's proud little face, Lin Weiwei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Little Wu is so cute."

Little Wu didn't like hearing that.

The beast tamer said it was cute, so it is.

No, not others.

Little Wu, a bird with double standards.

Lin Weiwei looked at the Fire Fox Queen, who was about to awaken in the treatment chamber, and sighed softly: "I feel that if this continues... the gap in strength between me and you will only widen."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue patted her shoulder: "It's okay, I'll practice with you more next time!"

"Indeed, we shouldn't waste the potential of the fairy butterfly." Qiao Bai nodded in agreement.

Since evolving from the Fairy Butterfly, she hasn't gained a single new skill. Qiao Bai has figured it out: Lin Weiwei dislikes battles even more than Qi Yue.

Can also understand.

If Lin Weiwei were truly ambitious, she wouldn't have contracted with the honey bugs in the first place.

It's just that everyone has different ideas, and there are gains and losses in life.

Qiao Bai would not force others to do this.

But Qi Yuehui.

Pulled by Qi Yue, Qiao Bai didn't take Xiao Wu to continue the battle. Instead, he accompanied the two of them to go shopping and have afternoon tea, enjoying a rare, peaceful, and relaxing afternoon.

Qiao Bai didn't feel like he was wasting his time.

Even after browsing around, I felt it was pretty good, and my tense nerves from the battle relaxed a lot.

As for those prospective beast tamers who are still eagerly waiting for him to return and fight...

Qiao Bai: Smiling.jpg

What does this have to do with him?

After saying goodbye to Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei, Qiao Bai returned to the dormitory with Xiao Wu in the evening.

Because it was a long weekend, Li Gan didn't go home from the dormitory. Qiao Bai locked the door and confidently activated his innate skill.

[Pet: Hua Bird]

[Variety: Intermediate/Low-Tier+]

[Level: Tier 3, Advanced]

[Skills: King's Aura, King's Eye, Guardian Heart, Peck, Blink Magic, Super Multiplier, Flame Bite, Fire Attack, Fireball, Heat Energy, Smoke Screen, Dance of Fire]

[Evolutionary Route: Three-Legged Golden Crow (Selected)]

[Incomplete collection of evolution items]

[Special bloodline initial awakening complete]

La la la~ la la la~ I won~ la la la~

Qiao Bai couldn't help but laugh. It was clear that Xiao Wu was very happy to have defeated the Fire Fox Queen.

For more than a month, Xiao Wu has never been as happy as she is today.

Qiao Bai then looked at Xiao Wu's skill bar.

As Xiao Wu gains more skills, Qiao Bai needs to make more specific arrangements regarding the use of Xiao Wu's skills and the intensity of his training.

Sometimes, the quality of a pet's skills is more important than the quantity.

But isn't this all for the sake of Little U's evolution?

First, learn as many skills as possible, and then make specific arrangements after Xiao Wu evolves.

Then Qiao Bai clicked on the [Three-Legged Golden Crow] again.

[Favorability 100 (89/100)

Teamwork level: 100 (71/100)

Beastmaster's Spiritual Sea Beast Taming Space (2/4)

Sunbathing (98 days in total)

Bathing in the moonlight (98 days in total)

Little Crow's Spiritual Power (2/4)

Fire attribute skills (6/7)

Special attribute skills (4/7)

[Fine Fire (Not Achieved)]

Looking at the specific numbers before him, Qiao Bai's lips curled into a slight smile.

It's alright.

A little over three months have passed since the summer vacation, and Qiao Bai is already very satisfied with these results.

Nearly a quarter of the 400 hours had passed, but his progress exceeded a quarter.

The steady growth rate of his spiritual power in his spiritual sea far exceeded Qiao Bai's expectations.

At this rate of growth, meeting the spiritual sea requirements for contracting four pet beasts is not a dream.

Fire attribute skills and special attribute skills are still a little lacking, but they are much easier to obtain compared to the Spirit Sea Beast Taming Space.

Then...

Qiao Bai had been suffering from a persistent headache due to his internal fire.

"And...why are our affinity and chemistry levels a little low?" Qiao Bai looked at the 89 and 71, and rubbed his forehead with a headache.

He and Xiao Wu already had a very good working relationship.

More than a month of fighting at school and more than a month of fighting on the battlefield enabled Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu to understand what skill to use next with just a glance, even without speaking.

Isn't this a sign of good teamwork?

Isn't this just affection?

As he spoke, Qiao Bai stared at the little bird standing on the table, who was preening its feathers after finishing its fruit, and suddenly poked it with his finger.

The moment Xiao Wu turned his head, Qiao Bai withdrew his finger, looked down and pretended to be looking at the panel, as if he hadn't done anything.

Little Wu: "?"

Xiao Wu stared at Qiao Bai with her beady eyes.

As Xiao Wu continued grooming itself, Qiao Bai poked Xiao Wu's fur again.

Little Crow: "!"

This time, Xia Qiwu didn't move an inch, but suddenly turned around 180 degrees, his black beady eyes staring at Qiao Bai's finger that he was trying to retract, and grabbed it firmly!

Qiao Bai: Cough!

"I just... wanted to ask if you wanted some snacks." Qiao Bai slowly withdrew his fingers in front of Xiao Wu, and said seriously with his fist to his lips.

Xiao Wu looked at Qiao Bai with distrust.

Qiao Bai quickly pulled out a bag of special snacks that he usually reserved for Xiao Wu—snacks exclusively for the lottery gacha pool. He opened it and held it to Xiao Wu's lips, looking at him with innocent and pitiful eyes: "How can you not believe me?"

Xiao Wu took a bite, and his expression softened.

After taking another bite, all my previous doubts vanished.

Xiao Wu: =V=

good to eat.

It shouldn't have doubted the Beastmaster!

Thanks to the onslaught of snacks, today is another day of peaceful coexistence between humans and birds.

……

Li Gan returned to his dormitory early on weekend evenings when he had to attend self-study sessions.

As soon as he pushed open the door, Li Gan's foot froze in mid-air.

He went outside to look at the sun, then peeked back into the dormitory and looked at Qiao Bai, who was packing his things.

Repeat twice.

Qiao Bai rolled his eyes at him, annoyed: "The sun didn't rise in the west, I didn't go to the battlefield today."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Li Gan walked in then: "You scared me! For the past month or so, you haven't come back until five or six in the afternoon every day. Seeing you suddenly in the dorm at midday, I really thought something terrible had happened!"

As Li Gan put down his luggage, he patted his chest and gasped for breath.

Qiao Bai was too lazy to say anything.

But Li Gan would take the initiative to approach him.

"Why are you packing your bags, you rascal? Are you really going to abandon me and move out?" Li Gan said, pretending to cry as he watched Qiao Bai stuff clothes, compressed biscuits, Xiao Wu's food, and other things into his backpack.

Qiao Bai stopped packing and explained helplessly, "I'm not planning to go to the battlefield lately. I feel like I've hit a plateau."

Fighting blindly is not the way to go.

It's important to relax your nerves properly.

"So where are you headed? To some forbidden place in our city?"

"That's not true. Xiao Wu's strength hasn't grown to that level yet." Qiao Bai still had a basic understanding of his and Xiao Wu's strength.

Placing Xiao Wu among the preparatory-level Beast Tamers demonstrates its considerable strength.

Even against slightly weaker formal beast tamers, Xiao Wu isn't completely outmatched.

But if he wants to venture into forbidden lands... he simply can't manage without hiring an expedition team to protect him.

However, this would negate the necessity of training Xiao Wu.

Simply put, the map level is too high and it's not suitable for exploration.

He needs to find a more suitable new map to explore.

"Professor Zhou Xinran from Qingniao University said she's been a bit busy lately and contacted me to ask me to be her assistant for a while," Qiao Bai said with a smile.

Zhou Xinran sent him the message last night.

Although Zhou Xinran applied to be a lecturer for a major course next year, she also taught an elective course this year.

In addition, she previously presented her findings on fairy butterflies at an academic conference.

Her classes were never full in previous years, but this year they were suddenly packed!

After attending classes for more than a month, Zhou Xinran felt that she was about to collapse.

She needs to find an assistant to help her!

So Zhou Xinran immediately thought of Qiao Bai, the person who was increasing her workload and happened to be free.

Qiao Bai: "..."

The battlefield at Qingniao University is said to be exceptional, featuring many machines and modes specially developed by the university that cannot be used outside.

It is difficult for non-students of Qingniao University to use the school's battlefield.

Because Zhou Xinran promised to help him apply for a pass to the school's battle arena so he could spar with the university's beast tamers at any time, Qiao Bai readily agreed.

Does this map's level sound just right?

Moreover, he can get a feel for the university atmosphere in advance, making it easier and more convenient for him to escape when school starts next year... cough cough.

Upon hearing this, Li Gan's eyes lit up: "Professor Zhou Xinran? That's the beautiful professor?"

"Besides the fact that she's a great beauty, could you at least take some useful information? Professor Zhou's new discovery might become a test point for you this year," Qiao Bai said quietly.

Li Gan, who was full of enthusiasm just a second ago, suddenly became deflated.

Exam points and such...

Let's not talk about it!

……

It was a Monday morning.

At the east gate of Qingniao University, a beautiful, mature woman wearing a white lab coat, with her jet-black hair piled on top of her head and frameless glasses perched on her nose, leaned against the door of the guardhouse, glancing at her phone every now and then, as if she were waiting for someone.

The male college students passing by couldn't help but linger for a couple of seconds on those long legs in high heels and black stockings before blushing and walking away, hurrying to catch their 8 a.m. rush.

He was still fuming inside: Who on earth is this person! How could they do something that makes such a beautiful woman wait around like this!

This is absolutely inhumane!

With class time approaching, a large number of students had dropped off.

Professor Zhou Xinran then noticed the person she was waiting for.

Not far away, Qiao Bai, dressed in an ordinary long-sleeved sweatshirt, comfortable leggings, and sneakers, was walking in this direction with a bulging hiking backpack on his back.

Zhou Xinran straightened up and walked towards Qiao Bai, saying disdainfully, "Didn't Huangzhou give you a stipend? Now that you have money, can't you at least dress yourself up a bit better?"

Qiao Bai stopped and looked at her outfit.

Simple, comfortable, and versatile, you can buy two sets and wear them for a whole year, so you don't have to worry about what to wear every day.

"I think it's great?"

Zhou Xinran: "If it weren't for your face, I wouldn't even recognize you if you were thrown into a crowd dressed like that."

"But I'm handsome, so I can wear whatever I want. Otherwise, it would make the other men jealous." Qiao Bai waved his hand, looking confident.

Zhou Xinran: "..."

"Alright, alright, handsome guy, come with me." Zhou Xinran turned around, waved to Qiao Bai, and told him to follow her.

As they walked, Zhou Xinran talked to Qiao Bai about his "work arrangements".

"The elective course I'm offering this year is 'The History of Pet Evolution.' It's a short course, three periods a week, and the students are all first-year students. I'll send you a copy of the course materials later."

"As long as you prepare the PPT before each class and help me categorize and grade the homework together after class, you can use the rest of your time freely."

"The proportion of Beast Tamers admitted to Qingniao University is quite high, about 50/50. I've applied for a special on-campus battle arena registration card for you. You can use that to find someone to fight in the battle arena anytime."

Zhou Xinran explained what Qiao Bai wanted to do in just a few words.

It sounds pretty easy.

but……

"Approximately how many students have enrolled in this course?" Qiao Bai asked another question.

Zhou Xinran... Zhou Xinran fell silent.

After a long while, Zhou Xinran finally said quietly, "...two thousand."

Qiao Bai asked uncertainly, "How much did you say?"

"two thousand."

After repeating it several times, Zhou Xinran regained her self-righteous demeanor.

"Actually, this course usually only has one or two hundred students in total. This year, probably because of that academic conference, the class was packed," Zhou Xinran said calmly.

Qiao Bai really wanted to turn around and leave.

Universities typically enroll around 7,000 to 10,000 students each year.

If you further distribute the numbers among the various specialties, the number of people becomes even smaller.

But Zhou Xinran managed to get two thousand students in one go.

Just approving homework and group assignments can keep you incredibly busy.

"I just want to know, does Qingniao University have classrooms this big? There are two thousand people in there!" Qiao Bai said helplessly.

He now understood why Zhou Xinran was so generous.

Two thousand students.

If Zhou Xinran doesn't find someone to help her, she'll be overwhelmed with work.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xinran gave Qiao Bai a look: "Do you have some misunderstanding about Qingniao University? Let alone a classroom that can hold two thousand people, Qingniao University could even accommodate an entire freshman class at once!"

Qiao Bai gave a thumbs up.

Awesome.

He once again became acutely aware of the gap between the two worlds.

Seeing that Qiao Bai seemed to be having second thoughts, Zhou Xinran said again, "Don't worry, fewer and fewer people will come to class gradually. By the middle of the semester, there will usually be less than half the number left. It'll only be busy for a short period of time."

"That's why I asked you to help me out."

What else can Qiao Bai do?

They've already spread the word in the dorm.

I don't want to go back to the battlefield lately. The opponents aren't strong enough to keep up, and I'm really planning to relax and rest for the next few days.

Come here.

Qiao Bai thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Do you have a place to stay?"

"Yes, Qingniao provides on-campus dormitories for teachers and teaching assistants, single rooms."

"Okay, which days of the week do we have classes? That way I can schedule my time."
