Protagonist:

Shen Yao

"Shen Yao, here, here!"

Zhou Lan kept waving her arms, her exploration outfit matching the Red Pink Rabbit beside her perfectly.

The Red Pink Rabbit, several dozen centimeters tall, wore clothes identical to its owner's and had a cute little hat on its head, hopping around to one side.

Shen Yao came over with Xiao Guai in a low-key manner, not forgetting to greet Tian Qing and Chang Lei along the way.

Since this time was self-grouping mode, they didn't need to return to their original squads; they just had to board the school bus at the entrance together and be taken to this Practice Secret Realm.

There weren't many pedestrians on the road, each carrying big and small bundles, making it clear their purposes were exactly the same.

"Look look, the second school bus on the front left!!!"

The phone kept flashing; Shen Yao took a moment to lower her head and glance at the group chat messages, seeing that Chang Lei, who spoke haltingly, was continuously outputting large amounts.

Shen Yao:... Is he socially anxious or what? Such a huge contrast.

"That person is Cheng Dong, right? So severe, wrapped up all over."

If it weren't for life-threatening wounds, simple scrapes only needed healing-type spirit beasts to help, and they'd recover in a moment; why would it be so troublesome?

"Yesterday's trouble was fierce; I heard several people received school disciplinary action, and this practice mission failed directly."

Failure means delayed graduation; does the government official still want to enter?

Shen Yao paused her steps, leading them to turn toward the school bus closer to the outside.

As for Cheng Dong, with the system joining the fun and watching, Shen Yao could get more intelligence without taking risks.

The group chat topic stopped after they boarded; seeing the interior already half full, everyone hurried to find suitable seats and sit down.

Hah

What to do next?

"The teacher will explain part of the internal situation of the secret realm; everyone listen carefully later, and rest during other times. Once inside the secret realm, we probably can't let down our guard for a short time, let alone rest." After pondering for a moment, Shen Yao sent a message in the group chat with her phone and got full agreement from the other three.

"System, is it still making a fuss outside?" Taking the opportunity to raise her hand and pet the cat, Shen Yao asked.

Xiao Guai lay comfortably by Shen Yao's feet, its huge cat head resting against its owner's embrace, wishing it could curl up and squeeze in.

Shen Yao's hand movements didn't stop; since they had just come out and already eaten, she didn't feed Xiao Guai its favorite jerky, just purely scratched and played.

Actions like hers were everywhere around; after all, those with slightly stronger combat power were on the buses in front, and these people were truly ordinary, with no grand talk at all, only thinking about coasting through practice and graduating smoothly.

"Of course, they're about to start fighting," the system seemed very excited, speaking somewhat agitatedly when opening its mouth, occasionally emitting a string of garbled code, obviously forgetting Shen Yao wasn't a mechanical lifeform and couldn't understand mechanical language at all.

"Doesn't the teacher care? Or is it not time yet?" The university interior doesn't allow students to kill each other; if someone wants to find a loophole, no one manages it.

After all, it's already extremely difficult for humans in a cruel environment to maintain the order they should; completely demanding they align with modern society before the incident would be counterproductive, let alone Beast Tamers need to see blood to become stronger.

Flowers that only want to live in a greenhouse will never grow up.

"No no, dispersed dispersed," the system had already wandered back and told Shen Yao they only had a verbal fight, no physical fight, so it didn't count as violating school rules; right now everyone boarded the bus to rest, and after waiting a while they would officially set off.

"But it's really tragic," the system clicked its tongue, saying Cheng Dong had multiple heavy and light injuries all over his body but still persisted stubbornly, simply unbelievable.

"What did you discover?" Being so gloating, the system's likes and dislikes are really clear.

"Cheng Dong has energy fluctuations on him, involving mental aspect control," the system this time completely saw through and understood, babbling to Shen Yao to accuse this kind of stowaway behavior, clearly stating this person cannot stay; he will destroy the task world environment and affect the reputation of their normal systems.

"Cheng Dong has energy fluctuations on him, involving mental manipulation," the system this time had completely seen through and understood, babbling to Shen Yao to accuse him of this kind of stowaway behavior, clearly stating this person cannot stay, will destroy the task world environment, and affect their normal system's reputation.

Shen Yao made an "oh" sound; "If I didn't guess wrong, his mental control mainly targets the opposite sex and also has a certain bewitching nature."

Otherwise, with Cheng Dong's ordinary appearance, wanting to get involved with all kinds of beauties, daydreaming would be about the same.

Curling her finger to tap lightly, Shen Yao had the system continue watching Cheng Dong closely; "Later we'll enter the secret realm; we must keep an eye on him."

The system nodded to guarantee; here there isn't any high-tech development, and under the premise of not exposing itself at all, monitoring one person is a small problem.

The system nodded to guarantee that there was nothing advanced in technology development here, and under the premise that it would not be completely exposed, surveilling a person was a small problem.

The school bus beneath them slowly started, and the buildings beside them kept retreating backward.

Shen Yao put on an eye mask and closed her eyes, tilting her head to fall asleep.

Not even half an hour later, the school bus had driven into the center of the dense forest; wild spirit beasts kept running out and disappearing around the school bus.

Shen Yao had already lifted her eye mask and manually woke Zhou Lan beside her; the four of them sat down honestly and listened to the teacher standing at the front of the bus describe the situation of the secret realm they were about to enter.

"...... The secret realm is medium-large; the highest-level spirit beast inside is Xuan Rank Gnawing Rat."

"If not necessary, it's not recommended to go to the Secret Realm Center; there's a mineral vein the Gnawing Rats like, and most Gnawing Rats live there."

"Besides that, the secret realm also has......"

After the topic came to a pause, this school bus suddenly came under attack from outside.

After the topic came to a close, this school bus suddenly came under attack from outside.

The sound of emergency braking made everyone in the bus lurch forward together, but since they were wearing seatbelts, they were successfully pulled back.

Instantly, screams rang out inside the bus; various sounds entered their ears, making Shen Yao's head swell with pain.

Instantly, screams rose from inside the school bus, various sounds entering her ears, causing Shen Yao's head to ache with swelling pain.

Xiao Guai climbed up, placing both paws on Shen Yao's leg; its round cat eyes looked directly out the window.

A cylindrical python as thick as a water bucket, with blue and white patterns, appeared in everyone's sight; Xiao Guai's eyes became sharp from the stimulation, and if not for the school bus blocking, it probably would have leapt out to compete with the python outside.

"Goodness, this is a Yellow Rank mature Mysterious Blue Python, so thick," I'm done for.

Zhou Lan subconsciously rubbed her arms; her whole person, along with the Red Pink Rabbit, leaned toward Shen Yao's embrace, displaying the trait of cowardice to the fullest.

Shen Yao raised her hand and patted Zhou Lan's shoulder, reminding her the school bus quality was good enough, and they also had several teachers riding along; a mere Yellow Rank Mysterious Blue Python couldn't break through the defense.

Shen Yao raised her hand and patted Zhou Lan's shoulder, reminding her that the school bus was of good quality, and that they had several teachers riding along; a mere Yellow Rank Mysterious Blue Python could not break through the defense.

Sure enough, with a roar, a Yellow Tier pet beast Earth-Shaking Bear, two stories tall and shaking the ground as it walked, appeared outside and collided head-on with the constantly roaming Mysterious Blue Python.

Both were Yellow Tier mature-stage pet beasts; the two large individuals fighting meant the probability of affecting the surrounding school buses increased extremely rapidly.

The school bus beneath them started up in time, and the students inside were pulled forward.

Shen Yao could initially see the attacks constantly dancing and flashing between the two pet beasts, but unfortunately, after just a moment, there was nothing left.

Sigh.

Withdrawing her gaze, Shen Yao placed her eyes on the cute and obediently sitting Xiao Guai.

Raising her hand for another round of rua, Shen Yao wondered when Xiao Guai could be as formidable as the two big individuals outside, estimating she could only rely on evolution; who made the Xuanbai Swift Shadow Cat not a species famous for combat power?

However, she had so many good things here; this time entering the Secret Realm, she would search harder, and if there were decent wild pet beast eggs or young beasts, bringing them back whether for personal use or selling could exchange for a large amount of resources.

"Xiao Guai, work hard after entering the Secret Realm."

"Meow."

The school bus continued forward; having experienced this Mysterious Blue Python's road-blocking attack, the upcoming route also encountered various problems.

Mortal Tier pet beasts wouldn't foolishly jump out; those that liked to come out and block were at least Yellow Tier, and there were even Xuan Rank ones; that overwhelming aura directly made the students inside the bus all wilt.

Before coming out, they thought they were very formidable and were geniuses, but before even reaching the destination, they had already been struck to pieces.

Is this the world of Beast Tamers?

Many people harbored thoughts of retreat; they had lived so long and claimed to have seen much of the world, but they had never been constantly frightened like today.

Just thinking about constantly entering Secret Ranges or Dense Forests for exploration in the future, the timid turned pale with no color in their faces, while the bold had purple lips and could not speak.

As for the teacher standing at the very front, she smiled faintly and said nothing.

There is a saying: people teach people, but they won't learn; things teach people, and one time is enough.

Earlier, the teacher said so much on the bus, and few listened seriously; now, no need to say anything, everyone perked up their spirits, observing all directions and listening to all sides—this was the change.

The school bus drove on and off for more than half an hour, then stopped in a dense forest.

Well, or one could say every direction here was dense, with trees tens of meters tall, and even shrubs were abnormally several meters high.

The crowd got off the bus, and various beast roars were clearly heard beside their ears.

The timid had already started beating the retreat drum; if not, they could delay graduation by a year, anyway, the annual practice was not the same, who knew next year might be easier.

The teachers gathered together, with their respective contracted pet beasts beside them.

Shen Yao, Zhou Lan, and the other two communicated for a while; although the four-person team had varying degrees of fear, it was not enough to make them choose to withdraw.

"After entering the Secret Realm, we will first gather and uniformly go find herbs; if we still want to go elsewhere, we can act on our own or temporarily form teams."

Tian Qing planned to get the target in hand, then find a safe place to hole up.

Chang Lei and Zhou Lan agreed with this; they both had the same plan.

Shen Yao did not say she had decided to wander alone; even if these three wanted to follow later, Shen Yao would not bring them.

So much the better, saving the trouble of wasting words.

"Assemble, enter this Secret Realm in order according to each team's size."

The teacher held the roster and began calling names; those called had their entire teams enter the Black and White Crack that had already been pulled open.

The crack was just a crack, with no standard length or width; whether person or beast, all could pass through smoothly.

The specific reason was unknown; even the Alliance did not understand the formation standards of the crack. Just like the human body, all sorts of problems that examinations cannot detect will appear.

"Shen Yao, Zhou Lan..."

The four-person team stepped forward and entered the crack, then arrived at a spacious environment.

Cao Di.

In the distance, cows and sheep were constantly walking around and eating grass; further away was a deep green Dense Forest.

The Secret Realm Entrance was fixed, but after entering, random allocation still had to be carried out.

The four-person team's luck was not considered good; they were not together with one another.

Fortunately, the Red Pink Rabbit had a sensing and positioning skill; although it was much weaker than healing skills, in this Secret Realm without signal where mobile phones could not be used for contact, they were already considered part of the lucky ones.

Patting Xiao Guai's head, she had it use its nose to scout the path, and incidentally instructed the system to hide in the dark and indicate directions; Shen Yao, in order to assemble the team, began to hurry along.

"Left, right turn, five hundred meters ahead, keep turning, don't stop..."

Bang!

Shen Yao jumped aside, and Xiao Guai pounced forward like a gust of wind.

A shrill cry rang out; the fox that had originally planned to ambush them was instead robbed and was killed in one move by Xiao Guai.

The panicked cows and sheep around ran or scattered; Shen Yao signaled Xiao Guai to bring over this Mortal Tier pet beast that was already dead beyond dead.

"Meow."

So fragrant, want to eat.

Even pet beasts contracted by humans harbored bloodthirstiness in their bodies, just like Xiao Guai; her gaze was sharp and aggressive, having no connection whatsoever with her cute appearance.

Letting Xiao Guai wait a moment, after Shen Yao temporarily confirmed the safety of the surroundings, she waved her hand to let it eat slowly, then took out compressed biscuits from her backpack and ate them bite by bite into her belly.

The rich smell of blood lingered at the tip of her nose without dispersing; Shen Yao had no expression on her face, as if she didn't care at all.

The system transmitted one photo after another, showing the other three hurrying over; their luck was not bad, at least they hadn't encountered difficult wild pet beasts.

You must know that because the system had placed some of its energy on Cheng Dong, it had already witnessed several battles where they shared life and death, which could be called bloody and terrifying.

"Tsk tsk tsk, are those people stupid? Clearly they can't win but still go looking for trouble; ouch, another one is gone..."

The system was like an old master with legs crossed, leisurely watching the dragon and tiger fight in the distance, and casually releasing commentary.

Shen Yao, on the other hand, was a listener on the side as an audience member; whether she listened or not didn't matter, as long as there was someone to talk to, the system was very satisfied.

"How is Cui Hengxin?"

Shen Yao estimated the time for their team to assemble and asked about the rich young master (background board).

"Pretty good, he's shouting and ordering people around in the Secret Realm," the system replied to Shen Yao in a spare moment, then a "but" dropped the topic, "Cheng Dong wants to cause trouble for him; I don't know if Cui Hengxin can hold out."

Theoretically, a Xuan Tier Pet Beast fighting a Mortal Tier Pet Beast is like an elephant against mutated ants—a complete curb-stomp.

But Cheng Dong is abnormal; besides being strange, he has several exceptionally capable and devoted beauties around him, so Cui Hengxin's chances of self-sabotage are very high.

Shen Yao had a feeling that Cui Hengxin would most likely run into trouble, and she could use the node of his misfortune to kill two birds with one stone.

So Cui Hengxin had better not hold out, otherwise her plan would have to be postponed until after graduation, when they would no longer be in the same city—another objective trouble.

Feeling not a shred of affection for the father of her child, Shen Yao focused on the compressed biscuit in her hand, rested a while after finishing it, then left with Xiao Guai.

Before nightfall, Shen Yao smoothly met up with Tian Qing and Zhou Lan; as for Chang Lei's whereabouts, this kid seemed to have run into trouble and hadn't moved from his spot for a while—she'd look for him in the daytime.
