My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 13: Fireworks' Competitiveness
The three chatted for a while.

It turned out that Xu Wuhu and Li Yi came here specifically to survey the terrain. It was said that the terrain chosen for the first combat test for the sophomore year was grassland.

Judging from the number of students around, there are many who have heard the same rumor.

"I originally wanted to contact you after I found a suitable training location," Xu Wuhu explained.

"I'm here to practice my skills." Zhou Lu also explained his purpose, and raised the basin in his arms, saying, "I need a lot of moving living things for training."

"A moving living thing... Are you planning to practice the skill [Vine Entanglement]?" Xu Wuhu is indeed a top student. He guessed the skill Zhou Lu was planning to practice just by looking at the training method. "You actually learned this."

Zhou Lu did not hide it and nodded to answer Xu Wuhu's guess.

Xu Wuhu looked at Zhou Lu deeply.

To learn [Vine Entanglement], you need to master at least two skills: [Stem Walking] and [Crazy Growth].

This at least means that Zhou Lu's Meng Yuhua has learned at least three general or inherent skills. Judging from the number of skills alone, he is definitely the top among his peers.

You know, even his own Silver Armored Rat only mastered two skills.

If it weren't for the fact that the spirit beast was a plant, Zhou Lu would probably be even more powerful than himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Wuhu was overjoyed. He raised his hand and patted Zhou Lu on the shoulder, saying, "If we can really master it before the exam, then we can not only pass the exam, but we may even get a good score."

While they were talking, Xu Wuhu and Li Yi's numbers were called.

"Let's go in first, and we'll call each other then." Xu Wuhu gestured to Zhou Lu and said, "I'll help you keep an eye out for places with more spirit beasts."

Zhou Luling's number was at the end, and his number was called long after Xu Wuhu and Li Yi entered the secret realm.

Although it is a relatively safe D-level secret realm, the credits paid will not be reduced.

After crossing out five credits, Zhou Lu walked into a light door that looked like a mirror.

Before entering, the teacher in charge of opening the door handed Zhou Lu a bracelet: "There are no accompanying security guards in the D-level secret security zone, but there will still be teachers responsible for safety. If you encounter danger, don't hesitate to pull off the bracelet directly, and they will rush over."

Zhou Lu nodded: "I understand."

In fact, in a D-level secret realm, the dangers a beastmaster encounters are more likely to be the terrain or his own beast.

Come to think of it, I have already paid five credits, so I should at least earn these five credits back from the secret realm, right?
The moment he passed through the light gate, Zhou Lu had an inexplicable thought.

The college has an official store where you can exchange materials and cubs for credits, but the purchase prices are lower than the market price and it is only chosen when you are in a hurry to sell. The vast majority of students still choose to trade on the forum.

Some senior students will help outside merchants to purchase spirit beast materials on the college forum. The prices will be much higher, and then they will use their own credits to pay.

Essentially, it's exchanging credits for money.

Although the materials in the D-level secret realm are not sold at a very high price, as long as the quantity is sufficient, it is not a problem to exchange them for a few credits.

Walking out of the light gate, the view in front of him suddenly became clear, and a vast grassland spread out before Zhou Lu.

At this moment, the system task popped up again.

[Optional Task 6: Training Interference]

[Task Introduction: The initial combat exam is the starting point for Zhou Lu's rise. With his outstanding performance in the exam, he obtained a large number of credits and was appreciated by Xu Yilong, laying the foundation for his entry into the pioneer army. And all this started with the training in the secret realm of the grassland...]

[Quest Reward: Beast Tamer Skill Card (Repaying the Debt)]

Beastmaster skills? !

Zhou Lu was not surprised that the system would give him a task that would prevent him from taking the exam, but he was very concerned about the Beast Tamer skill, which specifically mentioned a person.

The skills of a beastmaster are often closely related to the cultivation of the spiritual pet. Only when the intimacy between the beastmaster and the spiritual pet reaches a certain level will there be a chance of awakening. It is a very rare skill.

[Repay Feedback]: A Beastmaster skill that can be used once a day. Within three minutes of activating it, you will enjoy a 30% bonus to all attributes of the designated pet.

To be honest, Zhou Lu really wants this skill. But... I can't really give up the exam just because of this skill...

Zhou Lu put Hua Huo down from his arms and took out his cell phone to check the message from Xu Wuhu.

It was the first time for Hua Huo to come to the grassland. She had never seen such a vast place. She subconsciously stretched out a vine and wrapped it around Zhou Lu's ankle, just like a child who had just learned to walk and was afraid to let go.

However, Hua Huo quickly adapted to the environment here. Seeing Zhou Lu was still looking for directions, she chatted with the weeds around her. Hey! I can walk, did you know?
You ask me what is at the root?
That's a flower pot! It's my home.

What are you talking about! What are you talking about! How can I be pitiful? No matter how small the flowerpot is, it is my own place! Unlike you, any seed can come and snatch nutrients from you!

Zhou Lu sensed Hua Huo's emotions, and when he looked down, he found that Hua Huo was cursing and staring at the weeds around her.

It was strange…why Hanabi was in the mood to curse.

Zhou Lu scratched his head in confusion, and whispered as he picked up Hua Huo from the ground.

But Huo Huo still refused to give in and continued to quarrel with the weeds by stretching out its vines. It was not until Zhou Lu carried it far away that it angrily retracted its vines.

The place chosen by Xu Wuhu and Li Yi was not far from the landing point of Guangmen, and it was also very easy to find, right next to a river.

"Is this safe zone so big?" Zhou Lu complained after he arrived there.

"I was also shocked when I first came in." Xu Wuhu said with a smile. This was not the first time he had entered this secret realm.

As the best student in the class, Xu Wuhu scored full marks in all five main courses in his freshman year. With a total of 25 credits, he had more choices than Zhou Lu.

There is no doubt that Xu Wuhu had scored full marks even in physical fighting, as he really fought with the iron-eating beast for five minutes.

He said that this was not the best result in his family. His brother Xu Yilong could fight with the iron-eating beast for six minutes without relying on a spirit pet.

While the few people were talking, their respective spirit pets were lazily basking in the sun on the ground.

As soon as Hanabi landed, the first thing she saw was the lazy sticky baby.

Thinking of how her master had just stared at the sticky baby in a daze, Hanabi, feeling threatened by falling out of favor, immediately arched her body and ran to the sticky baby's side, carefully observing her "enemy".

Zhou Lu was indeed looking at the sticky baby, but he was not fond of it, but rather puzzled: "Sticky baby shouldn't be a pet that is good at fighting, right? Why did you choose it as the initial pet?"

The sticky baby is excellent in all aspects, but it is obviously not suitable for the combat system, but more suitable for the breeding system.

Well, since he chose Meng Yuhua as his initial spiritual pet, it seems that he has no right to ask this question.

Li Yi has a gentle personality. He answered Zhou Lu's question with a smile: "Because my family has a complete set of evolution routes for Sticky Baby, and there are ready-made materials for Sticky Baby to evolve to maturity, there is no need for me to make it more difficult for myself."

Well, although it is mild, this statement would be like a sharp knife that hurts people if it were said anywhere else.

If a family has a complete set of evolutionary routes and supporting materials for a spiritual beast, then they are basically descendants of a beast taming family, and they are top-level ones. Ordinary beast taming families only have information on the evolutionary routes of spiritual beasts that have evolved to maturity.

"But the sticky baby was indeed a little weaker during the transformation period." Speaking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If it weren't for the class monitor's help, I don't know how I would have passed the initial exam."

At this time, after careful observation, Hanabi finally found the weakness of the sticky baby.

She carried the flower pot on her back and quickly circled around the sticky baby again and again.

Hey, I run faster than you!
Hanabi's behavior made the sticky baby, who was moving slowly forward, very impatient.

But the sticky baby couldn't keep up with Hanabi's speed at all, and could only watch Hanabi go around in circles helplessly, and at most made a hissing sound to warn Hanabi.

Hanabi stopped in her tracks after hearing the other party's warning.

This is the spirit pet of the master's teammate.

Can't cause trouble to the owner.

Thinking of this, Hua Huo stretched out her vines to wrap around the sticky baby, and conveyed a message to the other party: Where are you going? I will help you.

The sticky baby arched his head towards his owner, meaning he was going to his owner.

The grass was so dirty that it didn't want to stay there for even a minute.

Seeing the other party's expression, Huahuo immediately patted the leaves to show that she understood.

It used its vines to lift up the sticky baby, aimed it in the direction of Li Yi, and threw it out.
