At eleven o'clock the next day, the bus carrying the teachers and students returned to school.
At the school gate, many parents were looking up at the students who got off the bus nervously.
"Why are my parents here?"
Many students were a little dumbfounded, not knowing why there was such a huge lineup.
Su Yi was also a little surprised to see Jiang Xiaoxiu among the waiting parents!
When he saw Jiang Xiaoxiu, Jiang Xiaoxiu happened to see him too. This single mother in her late forties patted her chest, finally relieved.
"Mom."
Su Yi walked over and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to work today? Why are you at school?"
"The school informed me that you'd be back by eleven, so I took the day off. How have you been the last two days? You haven't been hurt, have you?"
As Jiang Xiaoxiu spoke, she sized him up nervously. Seeing that he was not injured, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mom, I'm sixteen. I'm not a kid. Why would you need to come all the way out here to get me?"
Su Yi was amused.
"You're such a heartless child. I'm just worried about you. It's not like you didn't read the disclaimer your school asked me to sign before going to that Lake Forest. It's so scary! If I had known that it was so dangerous to go to Beast Taming High School, I would have sent you to an ordinary high school to save me from being on tenterhooks here."
Towards the end, Jiang Xiaoxiu's eyes turned red.
"It's not as bad as you make it sound. The disclaimers signed before the surgery at the hospital were pretty scary, too. They were all small-probability incidents. Look, I'm fine, right?"
Su Yi pretended to be reassuring, wanting Jiang Xiaoxiu to relax.
However, Jiang Xiaoxiu did not fall for it at all. "Don't think that I don't know. Several of the students who entered the mystic realm with you were seriously injured. Xiao Yi, I heard that not all Beast Tamers need to go to the battlefield. Many girls will choose medical-type pets and can work in the hospital in the future. Do you want to consider it?"
"…"
Su Yi did not know how to answer and only comforted her. "Mom, don't worry. I'll definitely protect myself!"
Actually, it wasn't just Jiang Xiaoxiu. Many parents were holding their children and asking questions.
There were also some parents who seemed to have experienced a life and death parting. They hugged their children and wailed, making their children feel both touched and embarrassed.
Those who did not know better would think that these students were soldiers who had just returned from the battlefield.
…
After the mystic realm practical class ended, the school gave the Year One students three days off to rest at home.
After the break, it was almost time for the final exam.
The first semester of Year One was all theoretical classes, so this time, it was purely a written test. There would only be an actual combat assessment next semester.
From next semester onwards, their routine would gradually be on par with the army. In addition to theoretical classes, they would also be arranged to learn combat, cold weapons, firearms, and so on.
Although Beast Tamers were professionals who fought by commanding their pets, they could not be too weak. They had to have a certain level of self-protection ability.
If he didn't know anything, wouldn't it be a waste of the attributes and skills shared by the pets?
Su Yi had seen Bai Zhining attack with his own eyes.
As an elite Beast Tamer, not only did this senior obtain the enhancement of the attributes of the two elite pets, but she also mastered Gale Sprint and other skills through sharing.
With just two military daggers, she could fight ordinary extraordinary creatures alone!
Moreover, she had contracted pets that specialized in speed. After receiving the enhancement, her reaction and running speed had increased greatly. With her life-saving ability maxed out, she basically wouldn't be a burden to her pets.
Try not to drag the pets down in battle. This was the most basic requirement for Beast Tamers!
It wasn't easy to do that.
It was obviously not enough to just share attributes and skills from the pets. He also needed to continuously train to form his own combat system!
Of course, these things were still a little far-fetched for Su Yi.
He was only an Apprentice Beast Tamer now. Not to mention sharing skills, he could not even share attributes.
Although he could somewhat be considered an extraordinary creature now, the main direction of strengthening was mental strength. As for physical strength, physique, and reaction speed, they did not increase much. They were probably between ordinary people and top athletes.
However, this did not stop him from learning some combat techniques.
Beep, beep, beep…
His phone suddenly rang.
Su Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, immediately left his meditative state.
He opened his phone and saw that it was from Bai Zhining.
"Hello, Senior."
"Are you free tomorrow? If you are, I hope you can come and spar with my sister tomorrow."
Bai Zhining didn't like pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Tomorrow? Sure. Where's your place? I'll meet you there."
Su Yi originally wanted to use these three days of vacation to have a good rest, but he did not expect this senior to find him so quickly. However, when he thought of the 1,000 yuan training fee, he agreed without hesitation.
He had no choice. He really needed the money.
Moreover, if he sparred with others, he could accumulate combat experience. This kind of thing was relative.
Since there was a sparring fee and he could train himself and the Thorn Grass, why not?
"You'll come to see me? That's fine. Come straight to Jingtian Tower at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll have someone wait for you downstairs. You should know where Jingtian Tower is, right?"
Bai Zhining's voice came from the other end of the phone again.
"I know. It's by the Beast Taming Mall… Wait!"
Su Yi suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "Are you the daughter of Bai Jingtian, who's the boss of the Jingtian Corporation?"
Although the Jingtian Corporation was not a large national corporation, it was quite famous in West River State. It had many spirit medicine research and development companies and spirit medicine manufacturing factories.
The so-called spiritual medicine was a new medicine developed by combining various natural treasures, including spiritual herbs.
This type of medicine had magical effects and outstanding efficacy. It far exceeded ordinary medicine and had already become the biggest center of attention in the pharmaceutical industry.
As for their boss, Bai Jingtian, not only was he a Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer, but he was also the honorary deputy lord of the city. One could imagine his social status.
After he asked the question, however, the phone went silent.
After a few seconds, Bai Zhining said, "It's not a secret."
Huh?
'So I'm out of touch again?'
Su Yi was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll definitely be on time. See you tomorrow."
With that, he decisively hung up.
In a luxurious villa in the city center, Bai Zhining put away her phone, her expression unchanged.
Not far away, a little girl sitting at a table doing her homework seriously suddenly stopped writing. Then she looked up at her sister and asked, "Can that genius junior you mentioned come over tomorrow?"
Bai Zhining didn't say anything and only nodded slightly.
After a moment of silence, the little girl said calmly, "If he can't do it either, arrange for an ordinary-level Beast Tamer for me in the future. I don't want to play house with those apprentice-level Beast Tamers anymore."
