Chapter 7

A few minutes later, the two returned to the entrance of the Beast Tamer Mall.

"So, what exactly are you here for?"

Seeing that Su Yi had not bought anything after walking around, Li Xinhao was clearly puzzled.

"Didn't I already say? I'm just looking around. You can't really think I have the money to buy a little purple marten, can you? In fact, even the most ordinary pet beast is beyond my means."

Su Yi shrugged nonchalantly.

Though he spoke lightly, he was deeply frustrated.

That was a pet beast with the potential to reach the Master level!

Don't be fooled by the high evaluation given by the pet beast appraisal agency; it still underestimated the little purple marten.

It was a genius individual capable of breaking the racial constraints!

If others knew that a pet beast capable of growing to the Master level could be bought for 3.6 million, all the beast tamers in the world would go crazy.

After all, a pet beast that can steadily grow to the Commander level is worth tens of millions!

And a pet beast that can steadily grow to the Master level is priceless!

Unfortunately, 3.6 million was beyond Su Yi's reach at the moment.

"Uh... Alright, you're amazing, brother. If I didn't have the money, I wouldn't dare step into such a high-end place."

Li Xinhao gave him a thumbs up.

"Look at you. Come on, it's getting late. We'll be late for school if we don't hurry. By the way, how did you get here?"

Su Yi asked while unlocking his bicycle.

"I took a taxi," Li Xinhao answered, straightening his chest.

"Too bad, then you'll have to take another taxi or the bus. My bicycle doesn't have a back seat, so I can't carry you."

Su Yi shrugged.

"Bus? How many people are on the bus? Today, I'm going to walk along the busiest street!"

Li Xinhao patted the Crimson Sparrow on his shoulder and became excited again.

With that, he didn't waste any time and marched off toward the school.

This clown...

Watching his back, Su Yi was speechless and amused.

However, if this guy knew he had missed out on an elite-level pet beast, he might not be able to laugh anymore.

If Li Xinhao had bought the Crimson Sparrow half an hour later, he could have met Su Yi in the mall.

Given their relationship, Su Yi would have definitely helped him choose a pet beast with greater potential.

In the Beast Tamer Mall, Su Yi had found several Crimson Sparrows with elite-level potential, and their prices were the same as Li Xinhao's, at 100,000 each!

Unfortunately, there's no "if" in reality. Li Xinhao had already completed the contract with the help of the Beast Tamer Mall and couldn't change it.

However, the after-sales service of the Beast Tamer Mall was quite good. They not only helped customers complete the contract for free but also assisted in obtaining pet beast identity cards, breeding permits, and other documents, saving a lot of trouble.

Of course, this was only if you were a beast tamer.

Only beast tamers could raise pet beasts, which was a strict regulation in Longteng Country!

The distance between Guancheng No. 1 High School and the Beast Tamer Mall was not short. Even though Su Yi was drenched in sweat, he still arrived a few minutes late.

By the time he rushed to the classroom door, the homeroom teacher, Liu Yiting, had already started the lesson.

"Su Yi, why are you late? I'd like to hear your explanation."

Liu Yiting turned to look at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a clear look of disappointment in her eyes.

Su Yi, such a model student, had never been late before.

But now, he was not only late but also sleeping in class. It seemed he was completely letting himself go!

"Teacher, I spent a lot of energy opening the pet beast space last night and missed the time. It won't happen again."

Su Yi told a small lie.

This reason was much easier to understand than "wandering around the Beast Tamer Mall."

"Opening the pet beast space?"

Liu Yiting immediately seized on this key phrase and began to probe his physical condition without hesitation.

The next moment, Su Yi felt a vast mental force surge toward him.

Under this mental force, he felt as if he was completely transparent, with no privacy left.

Of course, the reality was not that exaggerated.

Liu Yiting could at most sense the spiritual energy in his body to judge his strength.

Notably, this method could also be used to probe the approximate strength of other extraordinary beings.

Soon, Liu Yiting's face broke into a smile, and the disappointment vanished.

"Congratulations, Su Yi. You haven't let your teacher down!"

"Go back to your seat. Opening the pet beast space is just the first step. You have a long way to go, so don't be arrogant."

"And Hu Yunlin and She Hao, you two need to work harder. You are the only ones in our class who haven't opened the pet beast space yet."

"Next semester, I hope no one in our class is left behind!"

Liu Yiting was enthusiastic.

"Su Yi actually successfully opened the pet beast space!"

Upon confirmation from the homeroom teacher, the classmates were surprised.

Like Li Xinhao, they had all thought Su Yi was a lost cause.

However, while they were surprised, they didn't have much emotional fluctuation.

After all, opening the pet beast space was not a big deal to them.

The only difference was that the girls who liked Su Yi for his handsome appearance and excellent grades once again had a sparkle in their eyes.

In the past few weeks, they had asked Su Yi fewer questions...

After returning to his seat, Su Yi didn't pay attention to his classmates' thoughts but focused on Liu Yiting.

Looking at the homeroom teacher, he felt both admiration and amusement.

In Guancheng No. 1 High School, the special allowance for homeroom teachers was minimal, negligible compared to the allowance for beast tamers.

The salary was not much higher than that of ordinary teachers, yet they had to shoulder more responsibilities and worries. Therefore, many experienced teachers were unwilling to take on this role.

Only someone like Liu Yiting, who had just started working and was full of enthusiasm, would be persuaded by the principal to take on this thankless task.

After encouraging the students, Liu Yiting continued the lesson.

Before they knew it, it was time for the break.

"Since we have a few minutes, I have an announcement. The date for the trip to the Lake Ring Forest has been set for next weekend, lasting two days."

"Students without pet beasts can use this opportunity to contract their first pet beast. Those who already have pet beasts can also use this chance to train. It's a rare opportunity!"

"However, note that although the Lake Ring Forest is a low-risk secret realm, accidents happen every year. Therefore, you must follow the school's arrangements and not act on your own!"

Liu Yiting tidied up her textbooks, looking serious.

"Finally, we can go to the secret realm for practice. Don't worry, teacher, we won't act on our own!"

"That's good. One more thing, why isn't Li Xinhao in class today?"

"..."
