"Little Moon, well done!"
On the way out, Zhang Xuan was still praising Little Moon. The latter was jumping around beside him, occasionally jumping up and nudging his body.
This was Zhang Xuan's first time participating in the monthly test, and he was very happy that the matches went so smoothly.
Behind the man and wolf, the examiner sighed as he watched the happy interaction between the man and the familiar. In his impression, the relationship between beastmasters and their familiars was mostly purely a cooperative one. To put it bluntly, they relied on each other and made use of each other.
Beastmasters relied on their familiars for combat strength, while a familiar relied on the beastmaster to grow faster.
There weren't many humans and beasts that had such an intimate relationship with the Silver Moon Wolf.
After looking at it for a while, the examiner didn't pay too much attention to it. He lowered his head to look at the name list in his hand and said loudly, "Next!"
Not long after, Zhang Xuan brought Little Moon out of the arena. When they came out, the smile on his face was still there.
At this time, the teacher Meng Huahua was standing at the same spot, waiting anxiously. She had always paid a lot of attention to this genius student.
Before the exam, Meng Huahua told Zhang Xuan not to take the results to heart. She was mainly worried that Zhang Xuan wouldn't be able to take the blow from this failure and would never recover.
Geniuses were proud, and she felt that Zhang Xuan must have the same pride. It was precisely because of this that she was even more worried.
As a high-level teacher, Meng Huahua had seen too many geniuses who valued victory more than their own lives, only to be crushed by one or two failures. She had even seen students take their own lives.
'Zhang Xuan can't be like those people and ruin his own future.' Just as Meng Huahua was deep in thought, she saw a smiling Zhang Xuan and the Silver Moon Wolf jumping around excitedly.
Seeing this, Meng Huahua took the initiative to greet him. "How is it, Zhang Xuan? It looks like you did well in your monthly test?" If it didn't go well, Zhang Xuan wouldn't be so happy.
Zhang Xuan nodded. "Thank you for your concern. There's no problem with the exam." With that, he passed the examiner's rating to Meng Huahua.
The results of the monthly test were calculated on the spot. After the assessment, the examiner would place the result slip into the hands of the corresponding student. After the students left the exam hall, they would hand the results to the teacher as usual so that the teacher could summarize them.
Looking at the word 'excellent' on the evaluation sheet, Meng Huahua couldn't help but size up Zhang Xuan, who didn't participate in the previous monthly exams.
Meng Huahua knew about Zhang Xuan's family background. She was worried that Zhang Xuan would fall behind due to resources and progress, but now it seemed like her worry was unnecessary.
Seeing Meng Huahua's expression change, Zhang Xuan touched Little Moon's head. "It's all because of Little Moon's outstanding performance."
"Wuwu~" Little Moon raised her head slightly, her throat letting out a sound. She was very pleased with the praise.
Even Meng Huahua was slightly moved by the harmony between the two. "So it's called Little Moon. Zhang Xuan, it's been a long time since I've seen the acknowledgment between a beastmaster and his familiar reach such a deep level. Work hard! I have high hopes for you!"
"I will, Teacher." Zhang Xuan smiled confidently.
He was about to leave with Little Moon, but at that moment, Meng Huahua said, "This time, you were able to obtain the 'excellent' grade, which was beyond my expectations. You are indeed worthy of being the genius of our class."
Meng Huahua's expression turned serious as she praised him. "However, Zhang Xuan, the college entrance exam is coming soon. I'm very pleased with your current performance, but the monthly test is not like the college entrance exam. It's just a competition between students in our school.
"The college entrance examination, on the other hand, was a test of one's ranking in the city, province, and even the country.
"You must know that this world has no lack of geniuses. Perhaps your achievements in this school are outstanding enough, but in the general environment, you may appear ordinary.
"I can tell you that every year, there will be silver-level familiars appearing on the exam grounds. There will even be advanced silver familiars there!
"In addition, some students from rich families might even have familiars with bloodlines above transcendent, and elemental and special familiars could be found everywhere. That's why you'll need to prepare for all of these in advance and deal with them with your heart."
Meng Huahua stared at Zhang Xuan's eyes as she spoke. She didn't say this to attack Zhang Xuan but to spur him on.
Geniuses could be called geniuses among ordinary people. However, in the ranks of geniuses, especially in front of geniuses with deep foundations, they were no different from ordinary people.
Meng Huahua told Zhang Xuan all this in hopes that he could continue to work hard. After all, Zhang Xuan's performance today was too outstanding. It was a good thing that he performed well as soon as he took the monthly exam, but it also easily triggered the young man's pride. She didn't want Zhang Xuan to fall for his arrogance.
Zhang Xuan naturally understood his teacher's pain. He looked at Little Moon, then at Meng Huahua. "Teacher, I will remember your words."
In front of outsiders, Little Moon seemed to have become more sensible. Perhaps it could tell that Meng Huahua was really thinking well of Zhang Xuan, so it actually shook its tail in a friendly manner.
Seeing this, Meng Huahua smiled. "It's good that you understand. You must come for the next monthly exam. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time. I'll help you if I can."
"Thank you, Teacher," Zhang Xuan said, then brought Little Moon back to the Fengye Beast Cultivation Center.
After dealing with a few customers, Zhang Xuan thought for a while and gave some snacks to Little Moon.
"Little Moon, you've done a great job today. Here, these are for you."
"Wuuu!" Little Moon saw the snacks and cried out in excitement. She started to run around Zhang Xuan again.
Usually, Zhang Xuan would give it some snacks as a reward, so Little Moon was obviously much happier.
After that, Zhang Xuan placed Little Moon into the pond and put in the earth spirit essence, allowing her to receive nourishment.
After Little Moon had finished absorbing the energy, he took out the moon dew cream and said, "Little Moon, come here for the cream."
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to call out to Little Moon, he saw that she was already lying on the ground with her limbs up and her eyes looking at him.
The words "Come and do it!" were already written on her face.
Zhang Xuan laughed. He had been applying moon dew cream on it all this time, and it had already formed a conditioned reflex.
When Zhang Xuan was applying the moon dew cream, Little Moon would raise her head and lick his palm, her fluffy moon-white tail wagging.
Zhang Xuan smiled and pulled Little Moon's ear. "Hey, you're a wolf. What would the wolves in your family think if they saw you showing off your bootlicking personality in front of me?"
Of course, Little Moon's parents had passed away, so Zhang Xuan could only think about it.
Night arrived. Zhang Xuan closed the shop and lay on his bed to rest. Little Moon was lying beside him. When she wasn't making a fuss, Little Moon was very peaceful.
Before sleeping, Zhang Xuan kept thinking about the battle earlier. Qi Yun and the Electric Wave Rat were not bad, especially its electric field, which could pose a threat to Little Moon. Furthermore, the Electric Wave Rat's bloodline was of a higher grade than Little Moon's.
Zhang Xuan had to admit that if it wasn't for the nourishment of the earth spirit essence and the lightning resistance from the long-term application of moon dew cream, Little Moon might not have been a match for the lightning rat.
At the very least, he wouldn't be able to win this test so easily. With that thought, Zhang Xuan knew what to do.
Today's battle had made him realize that in the process of a familiar's growth, supplementary cultivation products such as moon dew cream were essential.
Of course, these things were easily worth tens of thousands of yuan, which was very expensive. With his current financial resources, he could not afford it at all.
But it didn't matter. There were many in the cultivation world!
Previously, Zhang Xuan had discovered a large amount of moon dew grass in the cultivation world. He could just pick them up there for free!
