Simplified Beast Evolution Path

A Battle to Join the Training

“You don’t want to enter the Beast Space?” Su Bai asked as he scratched his head in confusion.

Bearen was also very against entering the Sigil, but he didn’t like it. He wouldn’t directly refuse Su Bai’s order.

However, Whitey directly rejected it.

At that moment, Whitey, lying on Su Bai’s shoulder, also felt wronged.

It shook its head and waved its front paws to explain something, but it lowered its head in the end.

“You don’t say...”

Su Bai remembered that Whitey’s affinity had broken the limit and reached 210 points, so he smiled and said, “Since you like to stay by my side, I won’t force you into the Beast Space.”

When Whitey heard that, it immediately cheered and walked out of its disappointment.

As expected of an agility-type Beast, it was even agile in changing its emotions.

The sky started to brighten.

Everyone rushed back to the encampment, wanting to report the matter of the catacomb immediately.

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!

“Who is it? Can’t you just let me sleep?

“It’s still early. If you have anything to say, you can say it later when it’s daytime.”

A lazy voice came from the wooden house. Ten seconds later, Li Heng opened the door with a yawn. He was still wearing his pink cat pajamas.

However, Li Heng was shocked when he saw the seven students at the door.

This was only the second day of the official training, and the team had already returned.

It must be because something happened.

“Sorry for the disturbance, Mr. Li. But we have something important to report.”

Liu Yiyi’s expression was solemn as she told him everything that had happened in the catacomb.

She also speculated that the catacomb was massive and had more than one entrance.

Li Heng also realized that the situation was not right and immediately ordered, “It’s a good thing you didn’t stay for long. Liu Yiyi immediately recalls the team that is still out there. I will report this to the military.”

Then, Li Heng left the room in his pink cat pajamas.

“This matter has actually alarmed the military?!”

Some students were quite shocked.

“Hong, don’t you know that the Wilderness is a battlefield opened up by the military?”

“I told you to read more books, but you said it was useless. Now you’re embarrassed.”

“Speaking of which, this is the first time I’ve seen my teacher being so girlish. That nightgown is simply too cute!”

“Hahaha, don’t tell anyone. Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble.”

Everyone laughed and joked around, then returned to their respective rooms to rest.

After all, they had been running around for an entire day and night.

They were already exhausted both mentally and physically.

After Su Bai said goodbye to everyone, he returned to his room and let out Bearen.

Rawr?

Bearen noticed Whitey on Su Bai’s body and was excited.

Whitey was the same. It laid on his shoulder and focused its eyes on Bearen.

“You two have to get along well. I’m going to sleep first.”

Su Bai was so tired that he had no energy to introduce his two Beasts to each other. He just lay on the bed and fell asleep.

A few hours later, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Su Bai, the teacher asked me to inform you to gather at the field in ten minutes. Don’t oversleep!”

“Alright ~” Su Bai stretched up. His spirit had recovered a little.

Su Bai went to the window while brushing his teeth.

He found that the sophomores training outside had all been summoned back and gathered on the field.

Other than that, there were also soldiers in the uniform present.

“They actually made such a big scene.”

On the way back, Su Bai had heard about it from Liu Yiyi.

Every year, the military would conduct a full-scale inspection in the Wilderness before the academy’s training team arrived.

This was to prevent the appearance of powerful Beasts and to ensure the students’ safety.

Obviously, the appearance of the catacomb was not within the military’s expectations.

Whitey had woken up on Su Bai’s head at that time. Its eight little eyes looked out of the window curiously.

Bearen, on the other hand, was still sleeping soundly on the ground with the charging cable in his mouth.

After Su Bai was ready, he immediately gathered at the field.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi ran over and said with a meaningful smile, “How’s your sleep, freshman? I heard that the appearance of the catacomb this time was sudden. You have to make good use of this opportunity.”

...

“What do you mean, Yiyi?” Su Bai asked curiously.

“You’ll know when the time comes,” said Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi kept Su Bai in suspense, thinking she could make him anxious.

But Su Bai was not anxious at all. He looked calm.

“You’re really patient,” said Liu Yiyi.

Su Bai wasn’t in a hurry, but Liu Yiyi was, and she blurted out everything.

When the military conducted an inspection in the Wilderness this year, they discovered no evidence of the existence of the catacomb. This proved that the catacomb was formed after the inspection.

But such a vast scale could actually be created in a matter of months.

It meant that the situation in the Wilderness had changed.

The military was going to move personally to the catacomb to investigate.

However, because the military lacked manpower, they had to select a few students and teachers from the academy to join them.

...

This wasn’t hard work.

It didn’t matter if they were going to help or not.

After that, the selected ones would receive academic points from the academy.

For the students, it’s a total pie in the sky!

After that, Li Heng came to the field with two soldiers and officially announced the event.

The sophomores present immediately cheered.

“Where to find such a rare opportunity to train with the soldiers?!”

“The catacomb? I’m afraid ...”

“What’s there to be afraid of? The strength of a soldier is not like us students playing house.”

“Yeah. I’ll be satisfied even if I’m just watching from behind.”

Everyone was immersed in excitement. Li Heng also stood up and announced the rules of the selection.

It was straightforward. A one-on-one battle.

In the end, five people would be selected to follow the soldiers into the catacomb.

The dozens of students present immediately began to warm up, eager to fight for a spot.

“Freshman, don’t get eliminated. I have high hopes for you. I won’t be joining you guys,” Liu Yiyi said with a smile.

“Yiyi, you’re not coming with us?” Su Bai asked.

“Hm-hm. Although my combat strength isn’t as strong as you all. But a rare talent in support doesn’t need to participate in this kind of battle.” Liu Yiyi said and immediately puffed out her chest proudly.

They said five spots were available, but Liu Yiyi, who had already been chosen, was not one of them.

When comparing the strength of Beastmasters, combat strength wasn’t everything. Especially within the team.

Most of the time, the importance of support exceeded that of the main force.

Not only did Liu Yiyi have a rare Illusionist talent, but her Beast’s level was also the highest among all the Beasts present.

The other students were also convinced.

“Don’t worry, freshman. With your strength, you can definitely beat up those good-for-nothing guys.”

Just as Liu Yiyi finished speaking, the surrounding sophomores heard her and immediately looked at Su Bai.

They looked as if they couldn’t afford to offend Liu Yiyi but could offend Su Bai.

Su Bai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
