Only at university could you truly specialize. This was similar to his own previous world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The afternoon passed, and the pleasant dismissal bell rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu wrote frantically and finally managed to finish all the multiple choice questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If all goes well, my score might actually hit double digits...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed.

Should I shout for help and then run, or just take off immediately?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Beast Taming Class 5. I hope you won't cause trouble and disrupt everyone's studying, or don't blame me for being impolite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Meng's face grew fierce as he approached Chen Shu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Disrupt everyone's studying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu was instantly dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warning me not to disrupt studying? Did I wake up in a parallel universe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were actually warning him not to disrupt everyone's studying?

Spiritual energy please come quickly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he gave up and flopped backward onto his bed in defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This cultivation stuff is ridiculously hard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu groaned. No wonder high-level Beast Tamers enjoyed such high social status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone had the perseverance to endure this torture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without any cultivation talent, it looks like I'm completely dependent on the system.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few simple choices had already made him a Level 1 Beast Tamer, which was equivalent to six months of other people's hard practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tasting those sweet benefits, he'd completely lost patience for manual cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, I'm going out for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you going out for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To do some multiple choice questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu brushed off his mother's bewilderment and hurried out of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I used some Basic Beast Taming Potion during cultivation, my speed would definitely improve.
