"Anyway, it's no use not wanting to go now," Qin Nan rolled her eyes, "The director just agreed, you heard that too, didn't you?"
Ah, this...
Lin Su did indeed remember that just before leaving, Director Du agreed to Qin Nan's suggestion...
After all that, that's the suggestion?!
"Nan, are you setting me up?"
"Look at what you're saying," Qin Nan chuckled. "This is your chance to showcase yourself, cherish it well."
Sighing softly, Lin Su nodded, "Alright then."
With things having gone this far, even Director Du had agreed; Lin Su felt he had no choice but to agree as well.
"For the next two days, you'll be tasked with writing the research report on the evolution model of the Indestructible Duck and new evolution skills," Qin Nan casually drank her coffee. "I'll mostly be at the institute these few days. If you have any questions while writing the report, just ask me anytime. After two days, we will set off for District 1 to attend the Breeding Achievements Competition."
District 1 is an administrative region of the Yan Huang Alliance and among the seventy-two districts, it is the most flourishing one where such large-scale competitions naturally take place.
"We're leaving in two days?!" Lin Su widened his eyes, "Isn't that too hasty?"
"No worries, minor issue," Qin Nan smiled, "I'll be here, relax, relax."
Without another word, Lin Su, clutching Qiuqiu, walked towards his own seat.
"Hey? Where are you off to?"
"Research! Write reports!"
...
Having written the report in a dazed state all morning, Lin Su finally completed the first draft of one of the research reports.
After resolving the lunch situation with Qiuqiu, the communicator suddenly rang.
Lin Su turned on the communicator, and it was a battle application from the Sky Battle Arena.
After Qiuqiu's Frost Storm and Snow Blow were upgraded to Level II, even more Beast Tamers became interested in Qiuqiu, resulting in Lin Su receiving numerous battle challenges each day.
But this time, he couldn't help but frown.
Having plowed through the Beast Tower in the world of Shenwu daily, Qiuqiu's battle experience had enriched much more than before, and the urgency to fight had diminished.
If it had been before, it wouldn't matter, but he needed to focus on writing the research report for the next two days, and after watping tonight, the Great Match would also start, making both ends busy.
Two days later, going to District 1 for the university breeding results competition would also take several days.
Afterwards, upon completing the graduation process, Lin Su would also start preparing for the entrance assessment for Beast Tamer University.
Henceforth, practice battles didn't hold much significance for him, and would instead take up a lot of his time.
Maybe... should he tell Master Zhong that he won't be available for training anymore?
After all, Master Zhong had said before that he could leave at any time—it was just a part-time job.
Thinking this, Lin Su opened the communicator and dialed Master Zhong from his contact list.
Soon, Master Zhong's face appeared on the device, "Lin, what's up?"
"Um... Master Zhong, I'm going to be quite busy soon, so I may not be able to continue as a practice fighter," Lin Su sincerely said, "Sorry about that."
"That's alright," Master Zhong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "That's no issue, but you did receive a battle request today, didn't you? Will you accept that one?"
"This..." Lin Su pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then I'll head over to the Battle Arena now. After this battle request, I won't accept any more."
Having just proposed to resign, if he refused even the last match, Lin Su felt somewhat regretful.
"No problem, I'll cancel your registration here right away," Master Zhong nodded.
The communication ended quickly, and Lin Su looked at Qiuqiu in his arms, "It looks like we need to fight one more battle."
"Meow~ (｡òωó｡)" ("No problem~")
With a slight smile, Lin Su opened the email, "Let's see who your opponent this time is… uh…"
After glancing at the email content, Lin Su's expression instantly turned strange.
Qiuqiu poked its head out to look at the communicator screen, and its expression immediately turned fiercely adorable.
"Meow!" ("Die, Fire Cloud Dog!")
To Lin Su's surprise, the opponent for this last battle turned out to be the Fire Cloud Dog.
Lately, as Qiuqiu faced the Fire Cloud Dog daily in the fifth stage of the Beast Tower, it had accumulated a lot of resentment, and Lin Su could nearly visualize the scene where the Fire Cloud Dog got beaten one-sidedly.
Wait...
It might not be that simple!
With a frown, Lin Su read the rest of the email detailing about the Fire Cloud Dog, his expression becoming slightly odd, "Qiuqiu, this battle might be a bit tough. The opponent's Talent Skills have all reached Level II as well, and they wield a number of teaching skills…"
Such circumstances were very rare, as not every Beast Tamer got the same opportunities as Lin Su to refine their pets' skills proficiency levels, and being able to evolve a pet's Talent Skills all to Level II during its juvenile phase indicated that this Beast Tamer was quite extraordinary.
Normally, one would opt to make a contract with lower-ranking species of pets given such a foundation, so why choose a high-tier elite species like the Fire Cloud Dog?
Thinking this, Lin Su couldn't help but feel a surge of interest towards the Beast Tamer he was about to face.
If the opponent was a high school senior like himself… that might mean facing a formidable rival in the upcoming university entrance assessment!
