Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 49 is stuck in the same place, it's not very interesting.

Gu Ling's face still showed signs of fear as she gasped for breath.

A sliver of light peeked through the curtains, casting a hazy glow over the room, but enough to barely make out objects. Gu Ling glanced at the alarm clock—5:50.

After regaining her senses, Gu Ling raised her hand and scratched her somewhat messy hair. "This is a dream... why is it so strange..." and so real?

Even after waking up, I still felt a slight palpitation.

Gu Ling got out of bed, walked to the window, and pulled back the curtains. The hazy sunlight rushed into the room, illuminating most of the dim space.

"Mmm~" Xian Jiu rubbed her eyes, half-asleep, and looked at Gu Ling.

Seeing that Xian Jiu had woken up early, Gu Ling walked over and reached out to rub Xian Jiu's head: "Xian Jiu, did I wake you up? It's still early, you can sleep a little longer, I'll wake you up later."

"Meow~"

Hearing this, Xian Jiu closed her eyes, rubbed Gu Ling's fingers, and then fell back asleep.

Xian Jiu slept for another ten minutes before Gu Ling woke her up for breakfast.

Then, after Huang Weiwei arrived, the two of them took a car to school together.

……

Nanping No.1 Middle School.

In the classroom of the Elite Beast Taming Class, Grade 11.

When Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei entered the classroom, there were already a few students who had arrived earlier.

Good morning.

Good morning, Gu Ling.

The outgoing student greeted the two, and when they saw that Gu Ling, who ranked first, had arrived, the others couldn't help but cast curious glances their way over.

After Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei found seats, Xian Jiu, who was sitting on Gu Ling's shoulders, was in the classroom for the first time. Her eyes were full of curiosity, and she jumped onto the table.

"Xian Jiu, don't run around aimlessly." Gu Ling raised her hand and patted Xian Jiu's head.

Xian Jiu gave Gu Ling a look: "Meow~" I know, meow~

As time went by, the rest of the students also came into the classroom. When they met acquaintances, they couldn't help but chat.

"Ring ring ring~"

When the bell rang for the morning reading class, Zhou Mengran, dressed in a black dress with wavy hair, walked calmly into the classroom.

For a moment, the classroom fell silent as everyone looked at Zhou Mengran with curiosity, speculating whether she was the new homeroom teacher.

Zhou Mengran wrote her name on the blackboard, then turned around and introduced herself: "Hello, I am Zhou Mengran, the special training instructor of the second-year elite Beast Taming class. I graduated from the Combat Department of Shanghai University."

Upon hearing the words "Shanghai University," the students below couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hiss... Shanghai University?!"

"Professor Zhou is actually a student at Shanghai University, and a combat-oriented one at that!"

"I never imagined that such a beautiful teacher like Ms. Zhou would be such a formidable student majoring in combat..."

"..."

The original owner's memories also included Shanghai University, because her goal for the college entrance examination was to get into Shanghai University, but not as a beast tamer.

The two most prestigious universities in the Longxuan Kingdom are Imperial Capital University and Magic City University.

Huang Weiwei, standing next to her, looked on with envy and anticipation: "Teacher Zhou is so amazing! I wonder if I have a chance to get into Shanghai University."

Gu Ling asked, "Why don't you think about applying to Beijing University? In terms of school rankings, Beijing University is ranked higher than Shanghai University, right?"

"My Blazing Sun Seed is very sensitive to the cold. Imperial University is in the north, so it must be freezing in winter." Huang Weiwei shrugged, looking somewhat helpless.

Shanghai University is located at a lower latitude, near the sea and river, and its climate is relatively warmer and cooler than that of Beijing University.

"That makes sense." Gu Ling recalled the characteristics of the Thunder Seal Cat's species. It seemed that they weren't very resistant to the cold. If she went to a university in the north, traveling in winter would be a problem.

"However, how can we pick and choose between the two top universities? It's been a long time since anyone from Nanping No.1 High School has been admitted to either of the two top universities."

Huang Weiwei chuckled, "What's the harm in thinking about it? What if I get lucky and actually pass the exam?"

From the podium, Zhou Mengran's voice continued: "Some of you should have known beforehand that this year's Grade 12 Friendship Tournament has been moved to the first semester, and is currently tentatively scheduled for early December."

"Next, all of you will undergo three months of intensive training with the goal of friendly matches. I will be fully responsible for your training. If anyone cannot withstand the pressure during this period, they may choose to withdraw from the elite class."

"Three months later, the six members who will participate in the friendly match will be selected from your elite class. The friendly match is divided into two formats: individual and team. Everyone can sign up for the individual match, while the team match will select the three strongest people to form a team and the rest will be substitutes."

Someone raised their hand and asked, "Teacher Zhou, how were these six people selected? Will there be another battle exam three months later?"

"That's right." Zhou Mengran nodded: "Your current ranking in the elite class will not determine whether you are qualified to participate in the friendly match three months later. It will be determined by the results of your special training over these three months."

"There will be a monthly exam, and all of you can challenge the top 6 students in the class. Whoever wins will be the new top 6."

Upon hearing this, the students who weren't in the top 6 in the placement test all became eager to try.

Zhou Mengran glanced around, a slight smile playing on her lips: "At the same time, the top 6 students in each monthly exam of the regular class can challenge any one of you from the elite class. If they win, they will take your place in the elite class."

This immediately put pressure on all the students in the elite class.

"Oh, right," Zhou Mengran added in a light tone, "If the top 6 lose, or if someone from your elite class loses to someone from the regular class, there will be a punishment, and both the beast tamer and the beast will be punished together."

"Ah..." Upon hearing that there would be a punishment for losing, many people's faces immediately fell.

"I believe you don't want to experience punishment."

Huang Weiwei couldn't help but whisper to Gu Ling, "Lingling, it seems being number one isn't so easy after all."

Being number one in the Beast Taming Class is an honor, but also a source of pressure.

Gu Ling suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Teacher Zhou, if someone challenges me and wins, they can replace me, but I have to accept the punishment, right? Then I should get a reward for keeping first place, right? Otherwise, it doesn't seem very meaningful to stay in the same place."

Are we just standing still?

Everyone present was intelligent and adept at identifying key words.

Gu Ling's few words immediately ignited the fighting spirit of most of the students.

That's as if Gu Ling could always stay in first place.

Not only was Pei Gang, who came in second, dissatisfied, but even the student who came in last place couldn't help but mutter "arrogant" to himself.
