Back home, Qin Ming heated up some delicious Moo Moo fresh milk for Keda, and served it with a fruit platter for dinner.

After the meal, the sensible Keda rinsed his plate clean with a water gun. Qin Ming praised Keda's increasingly skillful water gun technique, then took the clean plate and set it aside to drain.

Several hours later, Qin Ming read a heartwarming bedtime story to Keda, but Keda fell asleep before the first story was even finished.

It seems that Keda is exhausted during the day. After all, he is still a baby and needs to sleep more to grow taller.

Qin Ming quietly tucked the blanket around Keda, which was about to fall to the ground, and left the room with a sly smile.

Opening the Spirit Master Association forum, Qin Ming sighed as he looked at the posts on his homepage that no one paid any attention to.

Raising spirit beasts has really increased the daily expenses. Life with only expenses and no income is getting tough…

Feeling down, I decided to bother Wang Yumo: "Old Wang, what level is your Ke Yun?"

Level 3.

"A whole day has passed, what have you been doing? Are you even a qualified Spirit Master anymore? I don't care about the process, I only care about the result!"

"Gewuen!"

Sure enough, my mood improved instantly. In fact, for most novice spirit masters, the expenses at this time are not that high.

Because the baby spirit beasts are still young and can't train skills, they don't consume as much energy. And since they don't consume as much energy, they don't eat as much, so they don't cost much money...

Once your spirit beast reaches level 5, it will be around the time university starts. The school will issue missions, and you can exchange them for resources after completing them, so at least you'll have a balance between income and expenditure.

For some geniuses who are ahead of their time, there is a summer camp they can attend to obtain resources, but there is still a month before the summer camp, so Qin Ming's version is obviously a bit too advanced.

Qin Ming didn't want Keda to stop because of this, after all, Keda was just too cute when she obediently drank Moo Moo fresh milk at night!

Hopefully, given the talent shown today, the official training fee for the dojo tomorrow will be offered at a significant discount!

After all, the dojo's teaching was so efficient that Qin Ming couldn't refuse after experiencing it. He could only hope for a friendly price. With these beautiful hopes for the future in mind, Qin Ming fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, before even entering the dojo, Qin Ming was startled by a spirit beast at the entrance!

It is somewhat similar to Keda, but it is significantly larger and has a more imposing appearance, which clearly indicates the identity of the spirit beast in front of us.

Its eyes, though small, are bright and piercing; its beak is narrow and pointed, reflecting a metallic luster, and appears to be extremely hard.

Its short, glossy feathers were so smooth that they probably wouldn't even get wet, indicating that it was well-fed and had a balanced diet.

Its overall shape is smooth and streamlined; once it enters the water, no one would doubt its swimming speed.

"Gah~" is the polite greeting from Keda, a cute and soft sound unique to the little spirit beast before it has fully grown up.

"Quack~" This was Lingyuan Duck's response, its voice deep and its tone gentle.

Qin Ming looked at the historic meeting between the two ducks, one big and one small, and felt inexplicably amused.

As the evolved form of the Xuan Shui Duck, the Lingyuan Duck is much larger. The one in front of us looks to be more than half a meter tall.

What about Keda, who is less than 1 year old?

Qin Ming, who was just measured this morning, can accurately report his current height as 18cm!

It was just high enough to reach the belly of the Lingyuan Duck, so Keda hopped around the Lingyuan Duck everywhere, as if afraid that the duck wouldn't see it.

Seeing Keda's excited expression, Lingyuan Duck even squatted down and lowered its head, making it easy to see clearly.

It's unclear whether the other party was overly friendly or if they were of the same race and had a natural understanding.

Although Qin Ming and Keda both knew that the Lingyuan Duck in front of them was definitely an extremely powerful spirit beast, far from being just as amiable and simple as it appeared, for some reason, neither of them was afraid of it.

Not only was Keda unafraid, but she also really liked it. Qin Ming could vaguely sense Keda's excitement through the contract.

Qin Ming guessed that Keda regarded the other party as an elder, perhaps a grandfather. And Lingyuan Duck's current demeanor also resembled that of a grandfather doting on his grandson, exuding an inexplicable tenderness…

A gentle light appeared in Qin Ming's eyes, and a slight smile played on his lips. Just for this Spirit Abyss Duck, Qin Ming was determined to join this dojo's training!

On the second floor, Zheng Xuan took in everything that was happening below, his face full of smug satisfaction. It was all worth it to have Lingyuan Duck go out and pose for a photo this morning!

After all, who would be so kind as to let a duck train in an empty, deserted doorway early in the morning?

Without any props or equipment, and without any environmental support, it's quite inexplicable that they could only bully an ignorant young man like Qin Ming.

By this point, Qian Zhiyuan finally understood what Zheng Xuan was up to, but was it really necessary to try and win him over right from the start?

Is the student pool for dojos in Jiangnan City really that pitiful?

Do they all require the owner's spirit beast to personally take the stage and put on a show?

Qian Zhiyuan had no doubt about his friend's strength. Whether it was his awareness in battle or his experience in teaching, his friend was definitely at a high level, so it could only be that he was unlucky and had a difficult life.

Haha, Lao Zheng, you've finally met your match?

Qian Zhiyuan felt that seeing such a good show so early in the morning made his long journey worthwhile!

After Qin Ming and Ke Ke's initial excitement subsided, Qin Ming led him into the dojo. The familiar cool air was still so refreshing!

The dojo was bustling with activity today, with many unfamiliar spirit beasts sparring and practicing in the dojo, a stark contrast to yesterday's deserted atmosphere.

Qin Ming was a little flustered, but luckily his acquaintance Zheng Wenjie was still in the usual spot by the door.

Under Zheng Wenjie's guidance, Qin Ming got to know all the senior brothers and sisters, as well as the academy master, Zheng Xuan, who stood to the side with a calm gaze and arms crossed, surveying the entire scene!

"The headmaster and his fellow disciples went to another province for an exchange program and only returned yesterday evening," Zheng Wenjie explained simply when he saw Qin Ming's puzzled expression.

"No wonder." Qin Ming nodded.

Watching the young spirit masters, not much older than himself, effortlessly and smoothly commanding their spirit beasts in combat training, Qin Ming's eyes revealed a hint of envy and longing.

"Qin Ming, right? Zheng Wenjie already told me yesterday that you want to come to the dojo to learn, is that right?"

Zheng Xuan suddenly appeared, scrutinizing Qin Ming with a serious expression. His dignified and piercing eyes made it difficult for Qin Ming to discern whether he was happy or angry.

Qin Ming was slightly nervous, but still quickly gave an affirmative reply.

Master Zheng was secretly delighted, then forgot his lines, and the room fell silent.

And then? But looking at the imposing and dignified owner of the building, Qin Ming hesitated to ask.

As the silence dragged on, Qin Ming began to feel uncertain.

Is the gym owner's next sentence going to be a warning to quit? What? You're too bad? Go home and practice, come back when you're older, don't be so ambitious…

After all, every other spirit master in the arena was far stronger than him.

Qin Ming was already thinking about how to prove that he had talent and could endure hardship, and that he should accept my request no matter what.

If all else fails, then it's a classic case of "fortune changes every thirty years, so don't underestimate a young person's potential."

So he didn't expect that Zheng Xuan, who had been silent for so long, would ask next, "How long do you expect to train at the dojo, and what are you mainly hoping to learn?"

Qin Ming: ?

So what was all that serious scrutiny and long silence all about? Is stress interviewing a thing of the past?

In the distance, Zheng Wenjie was whispering to his senior sister, "The sect leader is good at everything, except his acting is terrible; he forgets his lines easily!"

"So, why did he have to do it himself?"

"Maybe he's bad at the game but loves to play?"

噫~

Zheng Wenjie and his senior sister exchanged a glance, looking somewhat disgusted.
