Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Yin Jiao, who was sitting next to him, propped his head up and met Chi Jiao's eyes.

"Why do those eyes look so familiar?"

The dragon has already flapped its wings and flown onto the table.

Ji Zhang began his lecture, and the students below listened attentively, including Jiang Feng.

As the leader of Jinyang City, Ji Zhang naturally has a wealth of combat experience. Although he cannot compare to Fang Zheng, who has fought on the front lines for so many years, he can still explain many things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Moreover, the students naturally admired Ji Zhang far more than Fang Zheng. Although Fang Zheng's rank was higher than Ji Zhang's when he retired from the military region, he was from another city after all.

People didn't know much about Fang Zheng, only that he was Chief Ji who had always protected Jinyang City.

During his years in Jinyang City, he naturally became one of the symbols of Jinyang City. Everyone listened attentively to his close contact and to his stories about combat techniques and his experiences in the army or when he was drafted under special circumstances.

After class, Ji Zhang did not linger; he simply reached out and pinched the horn of the fire dragon standing on the table.

Red Horn reluctantly flew onto his shoulder, then simply returned to the Beast Realm and lay down to sleep.

Over there, Yin Jiao came to his senses and said to Jiang Feng, "I remember now, that little dragon from earlier."

"However, dragons' eyes all look pretty much the same." Yin Jiao had seen dragons before, and the eye colors of dragons of each attribute were different, and the eyes of dragons were quite similar.

That's why I didn't think of it earlier.

Jiang Feng nodded, then stood up: "Let's go, today's practical training is just basic training again."

The basic training courses are mostly scheduled in the first three weeks, and will not be scheduled after that, since students are to practice the coordination between themselves and their magical beasts and the use of their magical power on their own.

For the first three weeks, the teacher will mainly explain some methods of controlling and communicating with magical beasts. After learning new things, students will practice, which will help them grow faster.

They practiced just yesterday, but they did encounter some minor problems during training. It's a good opportunity to ask the teacher about some things they don't understand today.

When it comes to dealing with the coordination between the students and their magical beasts, the teacher is naturally very experienced. Even if her magical beasts are different from the students', she can still offer some helpful insights based on her own experience.

Class time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was Wednesday morning. After their run, they were to have a physical examination.

The homeroom teacher has already sent the instructions for the physical examination to the group chat, and everyone can bring their Beastmaster cards.

"There are a total of twenty items to be checked." Yao Yue glanced at the scores for each item, a hint of surprise on her face.

You should know that in junior high school, the checkup mainly involved height, weight, lung capacity, blood tests, and a chest X-ray, which was basically all.

These twenty-item checks must take a lot of time, no wonder they have to set aside a whole morning for them.

"We still have height and weight. I feel like I've grown taller recently, but I don't know how much weight I've gained," the group said as they walked toward the cafeteria.

"Fengfeng seems to have grown taller too. Will making a contract with the Fighting Deer make you taller too?" After all, the Fighting Deer is so tall.

When Jiang Feng heard Yao Yue's words, a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, at the end of last week, I found that some of the clothes I had before no longer fit."

He has grown a lot taller in just over a week since becoming a Beast Tamer, which may be due to his daily running and training.

It's also because they are in their growth period, from fifteen to eighteen years old, which is the period when people grow the fastest.

"Then, let's go shopping for clothes after we have Saturday off!" Yao Yue said to Jiang Feng. "Didn't you say you wanted that Crimson Dragon T-shirt? It was sold out a while ago, but they've restocked it!"

The Crimson Fire Dragon is naturally Chief Ji's mythical beast, Crimson Horn. Various merchandise products made based on its image are very popular throughout Jinyang City.

Jiang Feng's family naturally has one too, but the one from a while ago was in a flying posture, which was very domineering and something they hadn't seen before!

"And there are also carp-like dragons!"

"The carp dragon jacket will also be released on Saturday. I wonder if I'll be able to snag one."

"And that light elf hat, with wings on both sides, I've wanted to buy it for a while now, so we can go together this weekend."

In this world, people naturally prefer powerful and realistic mythical beast images or their chibi-style counterparts.

Most of the powerful beast tamers' magical beasts also have this type of peripheral products.

On the one hand, the country needs these powerful beast tamers to be known by the people. This is a kind of spiritual comfort for ordinary people. In a world full of dangers, the fact that the country has so many strong people is enough to make people feel at ease.

On the other hand, this was something that could not be stopped in the first place. People liked those mythical beast images, not just because of the powerful beast tamers.

It's also because of the mythical beasts themselves; they perfectly match the aesthetics of most people, making them lovable.

"Are you going?" Yao Yue asked Han Yunyun and Yin Jiao.

Yin Jiao hadn't grown much taller and looked the same as when they first met. Han Yunyun's clothes, on the other hand, were... ill-fitting to begin with.

She was actually wearing the outfit the school had issued, the clothes everyone changed into after the first day of training.

She alternated between that outfit and the clothes she brought with her.

"Yunyun, you—" Yao Yue didn't know what to say, so she looked at Jiang Feng for help.

Han Yunyun lowered her head at this moment.

"The subsidy for next month will be issued soon. Why don't you come with us this Saturday to buy some clothes? You can pay us back when the subsidy is issued." They sweat a lot during training, so they basically change into one set of clothes in the morning and another in the afternoon.

Apart from the set of clothes issued by the school that barely fit, all of Han Yunyun's other clothes were too short.

"The store is having a sale on new arrivals, and the more items you buy, the bigger the discount. If you go with us, it'll be much cheaper than if you go alone!"

That's true. Buying more always means getting a bigger discount, which is why Jiang Feng always goes shopping with Yao Yue.

Even if you have money, no one will pass up a deal if there are discounts on purchases, and the more you buy, the bigger the discount.

Upon hearing this, Han Yunyun raised her head, a hint of gratitude on her face.

"Yes, yes, our training clothes wear out easily, let's go buy some new ones." She put her hand on Han Yunyun's shoulder. "Anyway, you'll get 10,000 yuan in Chinese currency into your account next month!"

"By the way, you can use this as your card to receive benefits." As she spoke, Yao Yue pointed to the Beastmaster registration card that Han Yunyun was holding.

In addition to recording merits, this card can also be used as a regular bank card.

Many Beastmasters find too many cards troublesome, so they will just use this one card directly.

Then apply for some anonymous bank cards for other uses.

I use this card to buy things that can be registered under my name.

"The first payment was sent directly to your account, right? After that, you can have them transfer the money directly to your account. If you're really short of money, you can also have them convert resources into Chinese Yuan."

"However, converting resources will result in a discount, so it's more cost-effective to keep the resources in hand. You can sell the unusable magical treasures at the market or exchange them with others for usable magical treasures."

These were things Han Yunyun had never thought of before, but now that Yao Yue had said it, her sense of unease had disappeared considerably.

The clothes she wore were all hand-me-downs given to her by others.

There used to be an older sister next door to their house who would often give them clothes she couldn't wear anymore.

But two years ago, that older sister went to university in another city and never came back.

The clothes she's wearing now were bought with her by her junior high school homeroom teacher last year after she received her scholarship; he said it was a gift for her.

Her family certainly wouldn't spend a single penny on her. If it weren't for the fact that people die if they don't eat, she probably wouldn't even have a bite to eat at home.

Han Yunyun closed her eyes, then opened them again, a faint smile on her face, and asked, "Shall we go after school on Saturday?"

"Of course, school doesn't get out too late on Saturdays. It's summer now, and it doesn't get dark until around 8 p.m.

"How about you stay at my place sometime? I have other rooms available."

Yao Yue was just teasing Ren Wu when she told him there were no other rooms available.

"Anyway, it's just sitting empty. If you go, we can buy another set of sheets and blankets. Having someone live there will reduce the dust."

"Okay." Han Yunyun couldn't bring herself to refuse; this was Yao Yue's kind intention.

She can't offer anything in return right now, but she keeps everything in her heart.

She will do her best to help them if they ever need her in the future.

"Where's Jiaojiao?"

"Of course I'm going too, it's been so long since I bought new clothes." Yin Jiao was also going to buy clothes.

The four of them chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the designated place to queue.

Today, it wasn't just their class that came; there were also people from other classes, and the number seemed quite large. There were also some people who looked much taller than them, so they must be students from this school.

University students naturally undergo physical examinations every year, mainly to check for any physical damage and mental health, but not to monitor mental strength.

This time it was a bit sudden, but it's understandable.

Previously, we would notify everyone to come back for inspections half a month in advance. This time, we took half a day during exam week to come here for inspections, which saved a lot of people the time of traveling back and forth.

When Jiang Feng and his group of four arrived, there were already quite a few people in line. Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said to everyone, "Shall we start with the most basic checks? Height, weight, and such?"

"Okay." They were not light, after all, after becoming beast tamers, their bones and muscles were being washed by illusionary power every day, and the daily consumption was huge.

Jiang Feng was just 1.6 meters tall when he graduated from junior high school. Now his pants and clothes are too short, so he should be around 1.63 or 1.65 meters tall.

The testing is very quick here, so there aren't many people in line.

All the data will not be released; everyone can check it themselves after the event.

You can see things like height and weight directly.

After Jiang Feng went up, he glanced at his height and weight.

1.65 meters tall, 64 kilograms.

Not only has he grown much taller, but he has also gained a lot of weight.

Jiang Feng stretched out his hand, looked at the muscle lines on his hand, and was very satisfied with his height and weight.

After all four people had finished their tests, Yao Yue was not very satisfied with her weight.

"It seems a bit too light." She is 1.71 meters tall and weighs only 69 kilograms.

After becoming a Beast Tamer, their bones will become heavier and they will have more muscle mass due to the strengthening effect of taming beasts. With proper training, their weight will increase significantly.

"Am I not training enough?"

"It's probably because your pet is a flying type, so the weight gain isn't particularly noticeable."

"Is that so?" Yao Yue rubbed her chin, feeling that Yin Jiao's words made a lot of sense. "Then let's do it that way."

"Yes, if it's not enough, when you check all the information, there will be doctor's advice on what to eat to supplement it."

Han Yunyun remained silent; her height and weight were the lowest among everyone.

This is an unhealthy sign.

She was already eating well enough at school, but the losses over the years couldn't be easily made up for.

Jiang Feng and the other two tacitly agreed not to inquire about Han Yunyun's situation.

After all, being underweight is a sign of weakness, and this characteristic appearing on a powerful beast tamer is obviously... frustrating, and even something to be laughed at.

Han Yunyun has no muscles because she doesn't even have any flesh on her body!

On the first day, the teacher reduced the burden of running for her, and so far she has not increased the amount or weight of running.

A week can bring about many changes, but not many.

After the test was completed, in the afternoon... there were two fewer people in the class.

The number of people suddenly changed from forty to thirty-eight.

Chen tide is among the missing people.

Chen tide was arguably the only light-attribute beast tamer in their class besides Jiang Feng, and since he hadn't come, everyone started speculating.

What happened to Chen tide?

"I don't know. Quite a few people from other classes didn't come either. The homeroom teacher said that the test results showed that they had health problems and could not continue to participate in the training. They had to go to the military hospital for treatment."
