Chapter 21: The Practical Training Course for New Beast Tamers

"Su Yang, do you want to be class monitor?"

"No!"

Ordinary students want to become class monitor to expand their connections.

But Su Yang had no interest in this.

"Then Zhang Ruolin, you be class monitor!"

Zhang Ruolin lifted her head, astonished, looking at Li Meng—she hadn't expected Li Meng to call her name.

"Can I?"

"Of course you can! No one will object!"

"Then alright!"

Zhang Ruolin hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"You are all teenagers who have awakened the Beast Tamer talent; after entering middle school, your main focus is still on strengthening your power!" Li Meng opened his textbook and said: "For the next fifteen days, you will stay within the school to learn the basic knowledge essential for Beast Tamers."

"Fifteen days from now, our entire school will hold an exam; students who score above ninety points may go to the outskirts of Qixing City for field practical training!"

"The exam is very basic and simple—if you don't score ninety points, you must continue studying for another half-month and retake the exam, until you achieve ninety points!"

Over the next fifteen days, Su Yang learned at No. 1 Middle School how to open his Beast Space, studied classifications of wild beasts, basic Beast Tamer combat techniques, and knowledge of pet beast cultivation…

After fifteen days, following an exam, thirty-nine of the forty-one students in Class One passed with ninety points or higher; only two students failed to reach ninety points.

Sitting on the Earthworm Subway, Li Meng looked at the remaining thirty-nine students and said:

"Don't think passing the exam means you can stop learning everything. As Beast Tamers, you must not only study combat techniques—you'll also need to learn to identify the common wild beasts near Qixing City, know their abilities and weaknesses, distinguish wild medicinal herbs, and master survival skills in the wild… The more you learn, the better your chances of survival. Don't forget my words!"

The students of Class One shouted back: "We understand, Teacher!"

Li Meng smiled at them and said: "I hope you maintain this same energy when you go to the outskirts of Qixing City for your field practical training!"

After getting off the Earthworm Subway, the group climbed up the Wet steps onto the surface, where before them stretched a relatively wide plain, lined with rows of crude wooden huts.

Li Meng led the Class One students to the front of the huts, where three Beast Tamers stepped out.

"Let me introduce you: over the next year, these three teachers will be responsible for your practical training!"

The three teachers were named Tan Guo, Xiong Changfeng, and Zhang Zhongjie.

Tan Guo was the oldest, his face weathered, his white hair disheveled like an old lion.

Xiong Changfeng and Zhang Zhongjie were both around forty, in their prime; Xiong Changfeng was bulky and unremarkable in appearance, but Zhang Zhongjie had lost half his left palm.

As if torn off by a wild beast!
