Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 74

The next half hour was spent talking about things that weren't particularly important.

It's just a matter of what to do every day after that, and when this training camp will end.

The training camp lasted for two months, and it's almost June now, meaning it will end at the end of July.

The entire month of August is the enrollment period for various Beast Tamer High Schools.

Many people aim for Jinyang No. 1 High School, but there are many exceptions, such as people from Jinyang City itself.

After the head instructor recommended Jin Yang City's No. 1 Beastmaster High School, quite a few people didn't seem to care much.

They all want to study at high schools in big cities.

Upon hearing what the person above said, Jiang Feng and the other two exchanged glances: "We can take the exam together then."

The meeting had ended, and the homeroom teacher had no intention of having all the students gather together for another class meeting.

[@All members, please assemble on the playground at 6:00 AM tomorrow.]

As the head instructor just mentioned, we need to run and exercise every morning and evening for the next two months.

For beast tamers, the growth of their magical beasts is certainly important, but physical strength is fundamental.

Otherwise, they won't have enough stamina to fight alongside the mythical beasts!

Jiang Feng and the other two slowly walked out of the auditorium.

"Should we go check the dorms first? There should be other students in our dorms, right?"

Initially, the four of them lived in one room, which was probably arranged by the school, as people with similar innate talent levels lived together.

Or perhaps they have arrangements for each other, and they can live with whomever they want.

However, Chen tide moved out later, and it's unknown who will move into their dormitory.

When I got to the dormitory, I found that the other person hadn't arrived, and the extra bed was still empty.

"No one's coming!" Jiang Feng's face lit up with a hint of joy.

Yin Jiao's appearance was indeed a pleasant surprise for them.

Yin Jiao has a good personality. Although she is a bit mild-mannered, it is clear that she is a very easy person to get along with.

It's unclear what would happen if there were one more person. If it were the same as Chen tide's situation, it would be truly distressing.

"There might not be that many people left. You came a bit late tonight." Yao Yue thought for a moment and said to Jiang Feng, "When I came, the rooms on the third floor that you bought were still unoccupied."

Because they arrived early, Yao Yue chose her own room.

Later, more and more people arrived, and by the time Jiang Feng and his group came, the third floor was already full.

They chose room 303.

"That means there's no one left in the back, or there's no one suitable to live with us," Jiang Feng said to Yao Yue. "That's not bad either; it's more comfortable with one less person!"

Yin Jiao, who was standing next to him, also breathed a sigh of relief.

She's actually not very good at socializing, and being able to interact with Jiang Feng and Yao Yue like this is already her limit.

Yao Yue is very outgoing, and Jiang Feng has a gentle and refined personality. Being with these two people makes her feel very comfortable.

At least the two roommates weren't domineering, nor did they have the kind of personality that Chen tide had, as if she had some serious illness.

"To celebrate the fact that there are only three of us in our dorm, I've decided we're going out for hot pot tonight!"

There is no curfew at the university. Although they are still young, the teachers do not say that they must stay in the classroom at any time.

Everyone here is a beast tamer; outside, others are always wary of them, but they are never the ones who are wary of others!

It's already 8:30 pm, and the outside is still brightly lit. This time is far too early for both the city and the university.

"Okay!" Yin Jiao nodded. She was also someone who liked to eat all kinds of things.

However, I'm too lazy to move when I'm alone.

Just as the three of them were walking outside, someone in the class group chat naturally started asking questions.

Are there any good places to eat around here? It's my first day here, and I'd like to go out and get something nice to eat.

[This is everyone's first day here!]

I saw on the reviews that the barbecue restaurant near the school is pretty good!

Jiang Feng and his two companions were already on their way, so they were naturally unaware of what was happening in the group chat.

"Fengfeng, do you want to retest your mental strength level?" Yao Yue said to Jiang Feng on the way. "Do you have the mental strength testing equipment?"

The equipment for testing mental strength is something every beast tamer prepares for themselves.

The amount of spiritual power one possesses is a secret to every beast tamer.

It was their winning formula.

"I already have one, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet." Jiang Feng was also curious about his true mental strength.

The S-level mental strength is 30. Yao Yue and Yin Jiao are the first and second in their class in terms of mental strength, which means that their innate mental strength is very likely to exceed 40.

"I need to retest it too," Yin Jiao said from the side. "I've been so busy since the contract was signed that I haven't had time to test it."

After all, it's less than a week before everyone awakens.

The nation has set a time for everyone to awaken. Every May, those who meet the age requirement must undergo a test of their mental strength level, and those with a mental strength level of D or above must come into contact with the Illusion Stones to see if they have the talent to become a Beastmaster.

This time cannot be earlier; it must be May of this year when she turns fifteen.

Of course, if someone starts school too early or too late, they can apply to start a year earlier or later.

For example, there is a student in Jiang Feng's class who is fourteen years old this year, even though he is already in the third year of junior high school.

She can choose to study in high school for a year and then take the test, or take a year off and keep her high school admission information, and then go to school after passing the test next year.

If you are already fifteen years old in the second year of junior high school, you can take the test in advance. After the test, you can directly participate in the Beast Tamer exam.

In short, fifteen years old and May were the agreed-upon dates.

It doesn't matter if it's a few days earlier or later.

For the first test, you must apply to the Beastmaster Association for a dedicated mental strength testing device. This time, the mental strength value will be uploaded to the database.

The data from the instruments they purchased later were all stored locally and would never be uploaded to the database.

"I tested it just yesterday. After forming a contract with the Black and White Firebird, my mental strength has increased a lot. It's almost over fifty now." Yao Yue didn't give a precise number.

Hearing this, Yin Jiao smiled and said, "I should be about the same, but Xiao Wo's mental strength is very high, which gives me a lot of boost."

Jiang Feng sighed, "I'll go back and give it a try. Shall we go to the training room after we finish our barbecue?"

"Cultivate until dawn, then go back?" She felt her stats should be around fifty.

The day of the test was the 29th, but she could feel that a lot of her mental energy was being drained away by the pendant.

It is unclear how much was absorbed.

Let's test it tonight.

"Alright! It's 8:30 now. We'll finish eating around 10:00. I'll go back and cultivate for two hours, then go to sleep!"

"We could find one of those hourly rates; it might be cheaper!" Yao Yue said after thinking for a moment. "I inquired about the price for a whole day!"

"I can only cultivate for a maximum of three hours at a time. If I cultivate for more than three hours, I get a headache," Yin Jiao added from the side.

Three hours is already quite a limit for them now.

Cultivation requires mental focus and consumes mental energy.

The beginner's guide to beast taming states that it is recommended to stop practicing when you get a headache.

"Let's finish at 11:30. I still need to wash up after I get back."

"I don't know what I'll be facing tomorrow, so I'll rest first."

Jiang Feng thought for a moment and then said to the two of them.

Although cultivation is very important, it cannot be rushed.

The three of them had already walked to the barbecue stall, ordered their food, and then sat down.

"The teacher posted a lot of learning materials in the group and told us to pick up the books tomorrow morning."

Jiang Feng glanced at the messages in the group chat.

"A few classmates also came out for barbecue."

Scrolling up through the chat history, Jiang Feng saw several classmates coming out in a group, and he spoke to Yin Jiao and Yao Yue.

Upon hearing this, Yin Jiao's face showed a hint of conflict.

She was both excited and afraid of interacting with strangers she didn't know.

"The teacher told us to remember to pick up our books outside the dormitory supervisor's room when we go back to the dormitory."

Most people have only a superficial understanding of beast tamers, essentially starting from scratch.

Even those who have beast tamers in their families and have learned something from them through exposure are now on a completely new path.

Every year, the teaching materials for new Beast Tamers are reviewed and supplemented, correcting previous errors and adding new knowledge that was only researched the previous year.

Even the final drafts of these books were completed around May 10th, and the books I received were freshly printed.

The training experience above, the corrections to past mistakes, and the new additions are extremely useful for novice beast tamers.

Of course, you don't need books; the teacher has already posted a lot of materials in the group.

But most people prefer to read books, and teachers also tend to use books in class.

"Okay, after we finish eating, we'll get the books and then go practice," Yao Yue said.

Jiang Feng added, "Going back to get the book will help me digest!"

Yin Jiao laughed, and soon several people appeared outside.

Someone also posted a message in their class group chat.

We've arrived.

Jiang Feng and Yao Yue both looked up in that direction.

Yao Yue stretched out her hand and waved in that direction.

Upon seeing Yao Yue, the person opposite him immediately ran over.

"Yao Yue!"

Jiang Feng sat down beside them and looked at the two of them.

"Hello, my name is Ren Wu, and I'm a childhood friend of Yao Yue."

Clearly, Yao Yue, who was sitting next to him, covered her forehead with her hand after hearing this, and did not seem to particularly agree with the statement.

"Fengfeng and I grew up together. Go away and stay somewhere cool."

Yao Yue came to Jinyang City when she was in junior high school, and naturally spent her primary school years at home.

Ren Wu could be considered her elementary school classmate, or she could be considered a distant relative of her family.

Anyway, we either meet at school or at home every year.

The two of them had talked a few days ago when they were testing their mental strength. Ren Wu's initial mental strength was a little lower than hers.

"You must be Jiang Feng?" Ren Wu looked at Jiang Feng sitting next to him.

After hearing what he said, Jiang Feng smiled. She suddenly thought of some things that Yao Yue had complained about in her previous life.

She was told by her family to go on a blind date with a mentally ill person she had grown up with.

Now it seems that this person is very likely the "lunatic" she was talking about?

"Hello, I'm Jiang Feng." After saying that, Jiang Feng looked at Yin Jiao next to him. Yin Jiao seemed to be struggling with how to introduce himself.

"Her name is Yin Jiao, and she's our roommate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Wu smiled at Yin Jiao and said, "Hello."

At this moment, Yin Jiao had finished her internal struggle and said, "Hello."

Yao Yue, standing nearby, gently kicked him and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"I was just planning to come here yesterday."

After he finished speaking, he looked to the other side, where his roommates were.

"They're all from our class too. When we were assigning dorm rooms, we were all put together."

"Would you like to get to know them?" he asked, then looked at the other two people.

Jiang Feng had no objections, but he was a little worried that Yin Jiao wouldn't be able to get used to seeing too many strangers.

She could also tell that Yin Jiao was the introverted type.

Suddenly talking to a lot of unfamiliar people might make her feel uncomfortable.

But instead of directly refusing, she looked at Yin Jiao.

Yin Jiao was indeed conflicted and couldn't make up his mind.

It's still a bit difficult for her to start a conversation with strangers.

She prefers being alone; too many people make her feel uncomfortable.

But we're all classmates, and we'll get to know each other eventually. If we get to know each other tonight, we'll have fewer people to meet tomorrow.

And tomorrow, the whole class will have to sit together.

If you know a few more people beforehand, tomorrow shouldn't be so hard.

She looked up and suddenly met Jiang Feng's worried gaze, then slowly smiled.

Jiang Feng understood what she meant and nodded: "Okay, we're all classmates, so we can have dinner together."

"Are you going to cultivate after you finish eating?"

They're all in Class S, so they must all care a lot about cultivation, right?

Ren Wu shook his head: "I want to go, but they won't."

I already asked my other three roommates, and they said there was no need to rush.

Is it really true that there's no need to rush into something like cultivation?

He was so anxious!

"Let's get a bigger table over there," Yao Yue said, looking to the side and choosing another table.

Ren Wu's other three roommates winked and made faces when they saw him walking towards them.

"They're our classmates too. We're all in the same class, so why don't we get to know each other now?" Ren asked, but then regretted it.

I should have known he came out alone.

Sure enough, the other three's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Good brother!"
