Chapter 17 (1/2)

“Outdoor survival training?”

After bidding farewell to Han Sheqing, Zhang Che thought back about the news his teacher had told him. His eyes narrowed slightly.

It seemed like the Alliance was taking students’ development more seriously now. In the past, there would only be outdoor training after one had entered university, and now they actually implemented it during the third year of high school.

Judging by that trend, it was probable in the future that not only would senior high schoolers be required to undergo such training, but all students who had already become beastmasters.

After all, increasingly stronger exotic beasts would make their appearances during the once-a-decade beast horde. Scientific weapons alone were no longer sufficient to deal with them. They had to rely on the competent high-tier beastmasters to fend off the beasts.

Even so, every high-tier beastmaster needed time to become as strong as they were, and many of them would fall to the horde every ten years. This gave the Alliance a serious sense of crisis.

Under such circumstances, raising the levels of the low-tier beastmasters became their main focus.

If they could start the beastmasters’ training even a day earlier, then the talented ones would rise to the ranks of high-tier beastmasters a day earlier. This would definitely be greatly beneficial to the Alliance’s strength as a whole.

Teacher Han even revealed a piece of information to Zhang Che, saying that the universities in the various regions which specialized in recruiting beastmasters would start to lower their criteria for cultural subjects from this year onwards. As long as the students were promising among the beastmasters, even if their cultural grades were lower than trash, they would be accepted into the beastmaster universities.

This news gave Zhang Che much delight.

After being reborn into a new life, there was no way he could get used to the life of a student and having to handle examinations again.

Now, as long as his own strength continued to rise steadily, even if he was absent from school for the next two months, he could still enroll in the prestigious universities in the Hua Xia region.

In Zhang Che’s vision, he would continue entering the beast world frequently from now on to hunt beasts and get beast cards. On one hand, he would be raising his skills as a beastmaster as fast as he can, while on the other hand, he would be raising the level of his fusion skill as quickly as possible.

As long as he could raise his fusion skill to level 2, then he could fuse three-star beast cards at the very least, increasing his beasts’ strengths greatly!

In this vast, brilliant world, if one wished to live a better life, there was no way better than becoming a top-tier beastmaster!

As for Zhang Che, who had a cheat-like advantage over others, he knew very clearly that he could definitely rise to become one of the figures at the very top of the pyramid, provided he was willing to work for it!

“I’m back, Mom!”

Returning back to his home in the poor neighborhood, Zhang Che could not suppress the excitement in his heart and called out.

“You’re back, Xiaoche!” Sun Lan replied in pleasantly surprise from inside the house. She quickly ran to the door and opened it. Seeing Zhang Che standing in front of the door with a slight smile, she hurriedly pulled him in.

“Have you eaten, Xiaoche? Should Mom cook some noodles for you?”

After not seeing her son for several days, Sun Lan’s pale, sickly face showed an affectionate smile, and she asked about her son’s wellness at the first opportunity.

Zhang Che’s eyes reddened uncontrollably. He shook his head and replied, “I’ve eaten, Mom. I’m not hungry. Take a seat first. I have good news for you.”

Since he returned safely, Zhang Che was prepared to tell Sun Lan the news about him becoming a beastmaster and earning enough money to cure her illness to cheer her up.
