22: Three thorns
The current situation is that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
But for now, let's go back to the classroom; we have class today.
And while I'm at it, I'll ask those two guys what's been going on these past few days? I haven't heard anything from them.
In a flash, I arrived at the classroom and saw the two of them sitting in their seats, chatting.
"If you ask me, I think your pet beast is a mutated Fire Spotted Cat," Huang Yi declared, pointing.
"I don't know, but it's pretty strong at this stage anyway."
Zhang Jian, on the other hand, was easily satisfied; he liked any pet beast he owned...
Contracted Pet Beast: Lightning Pattern Cat
attribute: Lightning
Species: Agile High-grade
growth level: Uninitiated
trait: Swift Lightning
Skill:
...This was the appearance of the panel everyone possessed; all aspects only had a simple overview, without detailed introductions.
"Swift Lightning? Is your pet beast faster at downloading than others?" Huang Yi couldn't help but ask.
Swift Lightning: So?
Li Wen naturally saw more and understood more deeply than they did.
Lightning Pattern Cat
① White Lightning Gene: 80%
② Bixi Gene: 20%
From a genetic perspective, this was completely different from a Fire Spotted Cat; the source of its bloodline was entirely different.
"Don't listen to this idiot; your pet beast should be a relatively rare species, so there's less research and data on it."
"Anyway, it's stronger than a Fire Spotted Cat. Since your family is wealthy, it's best to find a professional Breeder to devise a plan."
Zhang Jian nodded thoughtfully, while Huang Yi spoke excitedly.
"Dude, you're finally here! I haven't heard anything from you these past few days; I thought you disappeared."
No, dude, you're saying all my lines! What am I supposed to say after you've said it all?
"Shouldn't I be the one saying that?"
"Neither of you joined the class group, and you're talking about me," Li Wen asked doubtfully.
This time, it was their turn to be confused. "How is that possible? We've been active in the group these past two days; I'm even the Dragon King!"
"I thought you just didn't like joining the class group," he said, then pulled out his phone to show Li Wen.
"???"
"???"
"!!!"
There was only one explanation for this situation: one of them had joined the wrong group.
Zhang Jian then weakly asked, "I remember we're Class Three, right?"
"Yes, we are Class Three." Li Wen also remembered that Li Muyun had indeed added him to the Class Three group.
He couldn't help but laugh. "So, you two joined the wrong group! O(≧▽≦)O"
"No, then why didn't you add us?" Huang Yi asked.
"Uh..."
"I thought you two didn't like joining the class group either?"
Just as they were about to start bickering, the teacher walked into the classroom.
"Starting today, I will be teaching the Beastmaster class's practical training."
"Now, immediately, everyone gather on the sports field."
...The practical training for the three classes was conducted simultaneously, so when they gathered, the entire sports field was swarming with people. After the assembly was complete,
The man in the combat uniform standing on the stage began to speak. "My surname is Zhuang. You can call me Instructor Zhuang, or just Instructor."
"Training is not just about training pet beasts; it's also about training Beastmasters."
"In truly dangerous places, no one will friendly engage in a duel with you."
"Without good physical fitness, you can't even continuously empower your pet beast."
"The first to fall will definitely be the weak Beastmaster, not the pet beast."
There are always troublemakers everywhere. The spiky-haired guy at the back of Class Two's formation spoke up.
"But no matter how strong the body is, it can't directly help on the battlefield."
"Didn't I say? Report if you have something to say."
Li Wen's innerMake complaints soul couldn't stop for a moment. No, when the hell did you say that?
"Report."
"But no matter how strong the body is, it can't directly help on the battlefield."
"Good, since you want to know so much, I'll answer you directly." A gentle smile suddenly appeared on the Instructor's face, with a hint of sadness.
"You think that Beastmasters are not very effective in combat because your Beastmaster level is too low."
"I tell you, in Master-level Beastmaster battles, a Beastmaster can provide millions of buffs. Would you still think that?"
"I understand, Instructor."
The flat-top guy returned to the team, and someone from Class One started stirring again.
"Report."
"According to that, as long as the pet beast is strong enough, it's sufficient to bridge that million-level gap."
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Wen was sure it was Lu Chen.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Not bad. The question is, are your pet beasts strong enough?" This time, the Instructor clearly didn't expect someone to say this. Although it was arrogant, it suited his taste.
"I'll give you an opportunity now to prove your pet beasts. My newly contracted pet beast, the Stone Ape, has just broken through to the uninitiated primary level."
"Any uninitiated-level pet beast can come and challenge it."
"Multiple people can go at once."
"If you succeed, you all will be exempted from today's physical training."
In Class One's formation, Lu Chen was the first to step out. If he could win this match, he would have more time to study today.
He would definitely surpass that person, Lu Chen constantly told himself in his heart.
The spiky-haired guy from before reappeared, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
Li Wen thought to himself, it's better not to provoke this kind of person; he's clearly the battle-maniac type.
One person from Class One and one from Class Two each stepped out, while Class Three's original top student, Li Muyun, had taken leave due to someone's reason.
That 'someone' naturally had to fill her spot and also walked out from the crowd.
The three stood side by side, facing the Instructor.
The Instructor thought, 'Good heavens, three absolute troublemakers!' One with disdain, one with battle intent, and one with an indifferent expression.
Are these the expressions that should appear on a good student's face?
"Summon your pet beasts."
As soon as the Instructor finished speaking, he first summoned his own pet beast through a green summoning array.
A gray-white furred monkey appeared before Li Wen.
Stone Ape
attribute: Earth
Species: Elite Low-grade
growth level: Uninitiated Primary
Energy Value: 280
trait: Indestructible
The Stone Ape's body was covered with hard rock skin, providing extremely high defense against physical attacks, making it almost indestructible.
Skill ①: Petrification
Skill Level: Low-grade Skill
Partially or fully transforms the body into rock form, greatly enhancing defense and resistance to blows, while also reducing magic damage received.
Skill ②: Rock Throw
Skill Level: Low-grade Skill
Grabs rocks from the ground and rapidly throws them at the target, causing area-of-effect physical damage and having a certain chance to stun the target.
Skill ③: Earthquake Wave
Skill Level: Mid-grade Skill
Stomps the ground forcefully, triggering earthquake waves that spread outwards, causing shock damage to surrounding enemies and reducing their movement speed and attack speed.
Skill ④: Rock Regeneration
Skill Level: High-grade Skill
When taking fatal damage, the Stone Ape can quickly absorb energy from surrounding rocks, restoring a portion of its health and temporarily boosting its defense.
Li Wen saw this luxurious panel, which was strikingly similar to that special Spring Spirit.
"Good heavens, another elite species."
While he was impressed, the pressure wasn't too great.
He'd send out a Green Banquet first to see how strong the other two were.
