Zhang Che found it really strange that his homeroom teacher had left a voice message for him.

He had already deferred his studies, and had no plans of continuing anymore. Why would he be looking for him?

-Let’s see what matter is it, then.-

“… Zhang Che, I would still recommend that you attend university. It’s too hard to look for a healing-type beast by yourself. It’s better to broaden your network and knowledge. Perhaps you might find someone with a healing-type beast in some city or school?”

Zhang Che was stunned after hearing Han Sheqing’s voice message, and felt deeply touched afterwards.

-Mmm. Teacher Han is right. Only God knows when I’ll find a healing-type beast if I’m doing it by myself. It’s better to enroll in a university that focuses on nurturing beastmasters and broaden my network. I can try other methods, even if I can’t find a healing-type beast.-

Zhang Che had no worries about whether he could pass the beastmaster’s practical test.

Just his two-star beasts, the Fiery Scorpion, Wind Shadow Wolf, and Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly, were all silver quality beasts, each with their own specialties, not to mention the golden-quality weapon, the Mutated Puffersword.

If he couldn’t pass the test with such strength, there wouldn’t be many other students who could.

After making up his mind, Zhang Che immediately sent a reply to his homeroom teacher, stating that he would go register himself at school in the afternoon. Afterwards, he opened the messages sent by his mother and Huang Tielan.

All of them were, without exception, talking about this matter.

He sent replies to them, informing them of his safe return and flagged down a taxi, heading home.

When he got home, Sun Lan had prepared a bowl of noodles for him.

“Xiaoche, did Teacher Han tell you the matter about the entrance exams?”

While he helped himself to the noodles, he answered, “He did. I’ll go to school to register myself in a while, mom.”

“Mmm, that’s good, then.” Sun Lan sat opposite of Zhang Che, watching him eat. A blissful smile showed on her face. She suddenly said, “Xiaoche, stay at home for some time after you’re done registering for enrollment and prepare for the exam. Don’t go to the beast world, okay?”

Zhang Che was stunned. His hands stopped moving, and he looked up at Sun Lan. He realized that her complexion seemed to be a little worse than before, and her gaze towards him carried traces of worry.

Zhang Che felt his eyes turning sour, nearly tearing. He said seriously, “Don’t worry, mom, I won’t be in danger. You don’t know this, do you? I’m close to being a Tier Three beastmaster now, and even own a few silver-quality beasts. As long as I don’t explore too far away from the safety zone, the beasts in those areas can’t hurt me at all.”

Sun Lan paused for a moment, before nodding, “Really? That’s good, then. Actually, Xiaoche, you don’t have to work so hard. It’s fine even if my illness isn’t cured. Mom is content as long as you’re safe-”

Zhang Che directly interrupted her speech, saying resolutely, “Don’t think so much, mom. I’ll surely find a way to cure you. You have to believe in your son!”

Seeing Zhang Che acting so firmly, Sun Lan stopped saying anything about giving up on treatment. She only prayed in her heart, asking for the gods to bless her son, keeping him safe from any danger.

After finishing his noodles, Zhang Che said his goodbye to his mother and took a transport to his school.

Although the cut-off date for registration was tomorrow, he didn’t want to drag it out. Why must he delay something to tomorrow if he could do it today?

Qian Wei City military camp’s research base, in a certain beast card cultivation lab…

Huang Tielan was following the instructions meticulously, not daring to blink her eyes.

She was holding all kinds of herb essences, following the steps listed on the instruction manual, adding them to the petri dish. At the same time, she was devoting a lot of her attention to the mix. If there were any strange signs, she would immediately hide behind the lab table.

Although there weren’t any more explosions while concocting the cultivating fluid in the past few days, she didn’t dare to be careless at all.

She had concocted over twenty portions of cultivating fluids for the Sharp-Clawed Hound over the past few days, but none of them were a success. This disappointed her a little, but she didn’t give up just because of that.

After adding the last herb essence into the petri dish, Huang Tielan’s heart immediately grew nervous. She had failed at this juncture many times before, and didn’t want to experience that same failure endlessly.

Next, she paid attention to the temperature, observing the changes in the color of the cultivating fluid. A rare, stern look appeared on her face. As the cultivating fluid in the petri dish continued to rise in temperature, approaching its boiling point, she suddenly turned the heater off and used a pair of pincers to pick the petri dish up, gently shaking it.

Following Huang Tielan’s gentle shaking, the murky fluid in the petri dish gradually turned clearer, and its color started turning a pure, faint purple.

After some time, Huang Tielan put down the petri dish carefully, and looked at the faint purple fluid in the dish, revealing a faint smile.

“Ha, I finally succeeded!” Huang Tielan almost started dancing in joy. In order to confirm whether she had truly succeeded, she quickly picked up a Sharp-Clawed Hound card and slowly soaked it in the faint purple cultivating fluid. Afterwards, she quickly covered the dish. She used a vacuum machine to suck out all the air in it, and waited patiently.

Time slowly trickled by. Looking through the transparent petri dish, Huang Tielan suddenly noticed that the beast card soaked in the cultivating fluid was emitting a purple hue. The color grew increasingly brighter, while the cultivating fluid quickly grew fainter, until it was colorless.

Looking at the purple hue, Huang Tielan finally showed an incomparably radiant smile, like the first light of dawn.

The university registration for enrolling into the beastmaster major was very simple. After arriving at school, he found his homeroom teacher, Han Sheqing and filled out an electronic form, followed by recording a short video of him employing a two-star subdued beast and uploading it to the registration website. That was it.

Currently nobody was sure how the examination would take place. Han Sheqing only told Zhang Che that he had to make another trip here to the school before the second half of June, and that he mustn’t miss it.

Mmm, the current date was 5th June, Year 36 of the New Age. There was still almost half a month before the later half of June. It was sufficient for him to advance to Tier Four.

After leaving the office, Zhang Che estimated that he should be able to successfully advance to Tier Four within the next half a month. All he needed was to find an area with a higher number of three-star beasts, and there wouldn’t be any problems achieving that.

When passing by the lecture building, Zhang Che couldn’t help but glance over there, unsure whether he should go take a look at his classroom.

While he was hesitating, suddenly there was a voice call request on his personal terminal. Huang Tielan was on the other end.

Just as the call went through, before Zhang Che could speak a word, Huang Tielan broke out in laughter. “Zhang Xiaoche, I did it! I did it!”
