Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 48 Strange Dreams

After the match, Huang Weiwei, who was in the audience, excitedly ran over and hugged Gu Ling: "Lingling, you were amazing! You really won first place!"

Gu Ling calmly replied, "I was just lucky; I won by sheer chance."

Long Yifei, who arrived a step later, couldn't stand it any longer and said angrily, "Gu Ling, stop being so Versailles!"

"That's right, that's right." Dai Hao nodded in agreement.

Lu Jiuwen crossed his arms, his expression revealing little emotion, but his voice softened slightly: "Congratulations."

Gu Ling tilted her head and smiled, "Congratulations to you too."

Lu Jiuwen came in fifth place, Dai Hao came in seventh place, and Long Yifei and Huang Weiwei also won more than they lost in the loser's bracket, ultimately ranking within the top sixteen.

"By the way, does anyone know when the bonus will be paid out?" Gu Ling was still thinking about her bonus.

Dai Hao replied, "According to past practice, the bonus will be deposited into the school bank card used for tuition payment within the next two days. The remaining pet resources will be recorded under each person's name. When you need to use them, just report to the new homeroom teacher of the second year of high school."

Gu Ling nodded slightly: "That's good." As long as she could get the bonus, she didn't care much about the other pet resources.

For example, teaching pets skills is not as efficient as her one-click skill point allocation.

Unless she could learn some advanced and rare skills, Gu Ling might not be interested.

"Gu Ling, you absolutely have to treat us tonight! You won first place!"

"Okay."

"..."

After all the battle placement exams were over, several school leaders came forward and made some polite remarks, specifically praising the top ten students in the battle placement exams.

Meanwhile, the monitors in the battle arena displayed all the class assignments that had been compiled.

As expected, Gu Ling and the others all entered the elite beast taming class.

"This time, there are 35 students in the elite class. Three students who were among the top 32 did not make it into the elite class." Dai Hao adjusted his glasses with his finger and continued, "It's probably because they lost too many times in the loser's bracket, and their overall scores were not advantageous, so they were eliminated."

Huang Weiwei said with relief, "Luckily, my Blazing Sun Seed performed well and wasn't eliminated."

The initial elimination matches are randomly assigned. If you're lucky, you'll encounter weak opponents one after another, and you can easily win the match.

However, once you enter the loser's bracket, the opponents are no longer randomly assigned. Instead, many teachers behind the scenes assign opponents to each person based on their strength.

After the class assignment results were announced, some people were happy while others sighed.

However, the three-day battle-based class placement exam has finally come to a complete end.

……

To celebrate everyone's successful entry into the Beast Taming Elite Class, Gu Ling and the other four first went out for a big meal, then went to a karaoke bar, strolled through the night market... Around 11 p.m., they said their goodbyes and went home.

After returning home, Gu Ling took a fragrant bath with Xian Jiu before comfortably lying down on the bed.

"Ding~"

The phone beeped with a text message. Gu Ling picked up the phone and immediately perked up!

— 200,000 received in bank card

Gu Ling: o(*≧▽≦)ツ My little money's here~ Wuhu~

After receiving the bonus, Gu Ling took advantage of Xian Jiu's engrossed gaming on her tablet to open a shopping app, click on the small cans of Xiangbobo in her favorites, and then placed the order.

The canned Xiangbobo I bought before was the normal size, and one can cost 5000 Dragon Coins.

If we were to buy a one-month subscription for Xianjiu, the 15 yuan bonus wouldn't be enough; we'd have to pay a portion of it upfront.

So Gu Ling opted for a less expensive option: buying smaller cans of Xiang Bobo. Each can cost 2000 Longxuan coins. Although the price wasn't cheap, buying 30 cans a month would only cost 6 Longxuan coins, leaving her with 15 Longxuan coins in bonus money.

"Xianjiu performed very well in the battle exam, this is a reward for it..." Gu Ling comforted herself in her heart while her heart bled as she confirmed with customer service when the goods would arrive.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

This is all to better motivate (or perhaps mislead) Xian Jiu to train harder in the future.

"...This placement exam shouldn't have revealed anything unusual, right?"

Although Gu Ling had upgraded several of Xian Jiu's skills to the master level, she had also spoken with Xian Jiu beforehand, telling her not to use her full strength and that 60-70% was enough.

Otherwise, for a class placement exam at the baby level, Xianjiu could easily defeat them in a few moves.

"Xian Jiu performed exceptionally well; this can be attributed to the mutation of Xian Jiu's talent..."

"As for why Xianji's electric-type talent seems to be improving... I've looked up some information before, and there are examples where, after developing a hidden attribute talent, the original attribute talent gradually returns to a normal level..."

"After all, who would think of adding such a cheat code?"

After thinking it over carefully, Gu Ling confirmed that there were no major problems.

After putting her phone away, Gu Ling began meditating as usual.

Half an hour later.

"...Xian Jiu, let's finish one more game and then go to sleep. We have to get up early for school tomorrow."

"Meow~"

"..."

Gu Ling turned off the light, then lifted a corner of the blanket and let Xian Jiu crawl inside.

The two closed their eyes, gradually enveloped by a wave of sleepiness...

……

……

……

In the pitch-black space, a series of disordered footsteps echoed.

"Da da da..."

Gu Ling ran wildly out of control, without any purpose or goal. She just didn't know why she kept running and couldn't stop.

"Where...am I?"

Gu Ling looked down at her body and found that it had 'shrunk' and she looked like a three or four-year-old. However, she was still wearing the pajamas she wore before going to sleep.

"Strange... Is this a dream? But why is it so vivid?"

Gu Ling could even feel the exhaustion in her body from running for so long; it felt like a fire was burning inside her chest, making it hard to breathe.

"hiss--"

Suddenly, a strange and terrifying roar echoed from the endless darkness behind Gu Ling.

That roar seemed to pierce through the flesh and strike the depths of the soul!

Gu Ling's expression turned to one of agony, her right hand instinctively clutching the fabric around her chest, yet her legs continued to stagger as she ran.

"Hehe..."

Lost in thought, countless black tentacles suddenly sprouted from the dark, mirror-like ground, causing Gu Ling to trip and fall to the ground.

Just then, it seemed like a dark shadow was chasing after us!

Gu Ling subconsciously raised her hand to shield herself.

The dark figure roared and pounced!

The next moment—

The world is spinning!

Gu Ling, who was lying on the bed, suddenly woke up and sat up straight!
