Walking to a secluded corner, Lin Su was about to summon his two pet beasts when suddenly a thought struck him, and he stopped.
“Xiao Qing, how many points can you score in the theoretical exam?” A female voice came from not far away, filled with nervousness and unease.
“Chirp… (≖◇≖)” (I’m not sure either…)
“That won’t do! You did all the questions, so you must know,” the girl said stubbornly. “On a 200-point test, can you score 160? If yes, your Energy Cubes will double for the next month!”
“Chirp!” (No problem!)
“Heehee, that’s good…”
The voice grew closer, and soon a short-haired girl wearing a tracksuit appeared around the corner. On her shoulder perched a Green Feathered Eagle with a body covered in green feathers, around each of which golden arcs of electricity continuously leaped. However, the eagle was only the size of a rabbit, making it look particularly miniature.
Lin Su, who had heard the entire conversation between the girl and her pet, was completely flabbergasted.
What the hell?
If he hadn’t misunderstood… the girl before him was using a pet in the Beast Taming Space to help her with the exam through Telepathy?!
The entrance exam hadn’t stipulated that pets could not be in the Beast Taming Space, just that they couldn’t be summoned to prevent candidates from using supernatural abilities to cheat. So strictly speaking, the girl’s actions were not against the rules.
But… having a pet help with an exam was a bit too showy, wasn’t it?
Muttering to himself, Lin Su looked at the girl with a strange expression on his face.
“Ah! Finally, someone!” the short-haired girl exclaimed when she saw Lin Su, her eyes brightening. “Do you know how to get to Mountain City University’s cafeteria?”
Many candidates entering the school today were there for the first time, and Mountain City University was vast with numerous buildings and a rather complex layout, leading to many cases of candidates getting lost.
Lin Su pointed in the direction he had come from. “Just go straight that way. You’ll see a lot of people heading in the same direction—follow them and you’ll be fine.”
“Oh! Thank you,” the girl said in appreciation, giggling. “I heard there’s a lot of delicious food in the Mountain City University cafeteria. I was going to try some in advance… Huh?”
While she was talking, she suddenly gasped, stepping closer and staring intently at Lin Su’s face while pinching her chin.
“What is it?”
Finding himself being scrutinized at such close range, Lin Su took a step back unconsciously.
“You’re Lin Su, right?” the girl pondered for a moment then her eyes lit up. “I know you; I saw you on the live stream of the Breeders’ Achievement Competition the other day!”
“That’s me.” Recognized, Lin Su was not too surprised and nodded.
“Really is you.” The girl’s eyes showed a gossip-like interest as she looked Lin Su over and quickly noticed his candidate badge. Showing surprise, she said, “The internet said you’re a high school graduate. I didn’t believe it at first, but it’s true?”
The girl giggled and extended her hand. “Nice to meet the big shot. My name is Ji Yun. Remember to look out for me now that we’re the same year!”
Seeing how enthusiastic Ji Yun was, Lin Su didn’t want to brush her off, so he reached out his hand and shook hers lightly before letting go.
“Big shot, your contracted beast is Xue Henqing, right?” Ji Yun waved her small fist. “You can follow me tomorrow, and I guarantee you’ll get good results in the practical exam!”
This move, oh this move, was called early investment!
Clinging to the big shot’s coattails!
Lin Su’s expression became even more peculiar.
He turned his head and took a careful look at the pet on Ji Yun’s shoulder, finally noticing what species her pet was.
Wind Thunder Eagle?
It was an evolved form of the Green Feathered Eagle, and also the form before the Gray Feathered Lion Hawk’s evolution.
As a high-class commander breed with mastery over both wind and thunder elements, the Wind Thunder Eagle’s speed and attack power were at the very top among commander breeds.
Moreover, this particular Wind Thunder Eagle clearly had been taught the Shrinking technique, a skill unnecessary for battle. If she had time to learn such a skill, it likely meant her mastery of other teaching skills was also quite good.
No wonder Ji Yun was so confident.
Of course, in front of Qiuqiu, the other party’s strength was still insufficient.
Thinking this, Lin Su chuckled, “Alright then, big shot, take me under your wing.”
“No problem!” Ji Yun patted her chest, which failed to produce the slightest ripple. “Then I’ll go eat now. Do you want to join me?”
“No need, you go ahead,” Lin Su shook his head.
“Okay then.” Ji Yun patted her deflated stomach. “I’ll be off, see you tomorrow, big shot!”
Watching Ji Yun scamper off, Lin Su finally let out a sigh of relief. Goose-yellow light patterns intertwined at his feet, and soon the figures of Ghost Spirit and Qiuqiu appeared beside him.
As soon as they appeared, Ghost Spirit expertly slipped into Lin Su’s shadow, while Qiuqiu lightly leapt into his arms.

“I just finished the morning’s theory exam, and I have nothing to do this afternoon.” After briefly explaining the situation, Lin Su smiled. “Let’s go back to the institute for training this afternoon.”
“Qiuqiu, just like before, go find Xiao Yu for help to quickly improve your mastery of Monarch Power skills. As for Ghost Spirit…” Lin Su eyed the pair of large eyes sticking out from the shadow and stroked his chin.
Ghost Spirit couldn’t show itself for now, so it couldn’t use the smart training room either. Although staying in his shadow might help it improve its Shadow Concealment proficiency, it was ultimately a bit monotonous.ƒreewebɳovel.com
