“However…”

Just as Ye Xuan went over to the door and was about to tell his parents about how he had awakened his Beast Taming aptitude…

He had a sudden flash of inspiration and discarded the idea.

“I’m not in a hurry to tell them. Jiangzhou University might very well send someone tomorrow. It won’t be too late for me to tell them after I sign a contract with Jiangzhou University and confirm everything,” Ye Xuan thought to himself.

He was planning to increase the surprise factor and shock his parents with double the glee.

Besides, this way, if he ended up not being able to sign a contract with Jiangzhou University, he would avoid disappointing his parents.

“Ye Xuan, why are you back from school so early today?”

Opening the door, Ye Guotao was slightly surprised when he saw that Ye Xuan was home.

“I’ve almost learned everything in Cultural Knowledge Class. So, I asked my teacher if I could go home and cultivate with my Energy Pills,” Ye Xuan lied.

“I see.” Ye Guotao nodded. “Alright then. Do your best in your cultivation. Your mom and I will cook you a delicious meal tonight.”

Ye Xuan had been a good child ever since he was young. He had never made his parents worried.

So, most of the time they never doubted him.

For that reason, they had absolutely no clue that Ye Xuan had already sold all the Energy Pills for money.

And they were also oblivious to the fact that Ye Xuan had awakened his Beast Taming aptitude and was preparing to give them a great surprise.

“Okay. Dad, Mom, cook a few more dishes for tonight,” Ye Xuan said. “Let’s have a celebration.

“I forgot to tell you both that I became a Top-Level Apprentice yesterday. Besides, I’m confident that I can become a Dark Iron Warrior before the college entrance examination and get myself into a good university.”

“You became a Top-level Warrior Apprentice?”

Both Ye Guotao and Su Yunmeng’s eyes lit up when they heard this.

At the same time, they felt a little puzzled.

Ye Xuan was excellent in everything he did.

It was just that when he accomplished something as great as this, he would never tell them immediately.

He would always wait for one to two days before breaking the news to them.

This morning, when they saw that Ye Xuan hadn’t told them about the Energy Pills, they thought that Ye Xuan hadn’t attained a breakthrough even after he he’d consumed an Energy Pill.

So, when Ye Xuan told them that he had, in fact, managed to reach a breakthrough, they were more pleasantly surprised than anything else.

As a result, the fatigue they felt after their long, busy workday mostly disappeared.

Lil Wan, who was standing on Ye Xuan’s shoulder, also greeted Ye Xuan’s parents in a crisp voice.

At the same time, she kept Ye Xuan’s plans a secret.

…

Hooh! Hoah! Hee-ya!

In his bedroom, Ye Xuan repeatedly performed the Honing Fist.

It might have been an illusion, but he felt that even without the Energy Pill, the effects of his Honing Fist technique were much better than before.

“Could it be that the reverse nurturing from Lil Wan has already begun?”

His heart was slightly fluttering.

Every Beast Tamer could acquire reverse nurturing from their tamed beasts.

Reverse nurturing wasn’t limited to the strengthening of one’s Spirit Ocean and Mind Energy. It would also enhance many other aspects at the same time.

Including the Beast Tamer’s warrior abilities.

“Seems like that’s the only explanation.”

Half an hour later, after performing the fist technique three times in a row, Ye Xuan, who was drenched in sweat, was convinced that the reverse nurturing from Lil Wan had commenced.

In the past, performing the fist technique twice in a row would almost bring him to his limits.

But now, he only felt that he had reached his limit after performing the fist technique three times in a row.

What’s more, after reaching his limit, he even felt that his recovery speed was much faster than before.

“This might be similar to Lil Wan’s ‘Natural Affinity’ ability,” Ye Xuan speculated to himself.

However, when he checked his own attribute panel, he found that nothing had changed.
