The exploration of successful evolution routes for each exotic beast and monster is an extremely precious intelligence resource.
During the ten years since the Beast Taming Era began, humans have been researching for ten years.
Very few successful evolution routes for exotic beasts or monsters have been disclosed to the public.
These disclosed successful evolution routes are all for relatively common exotic beasts and monsters.
This is due to the results of experiments conducted by the official research institute of the Divine Xia Empire, relying on the large numbers of common exotic beasts and monsters.
As for those rare exotic beasts or monsters, the experimental results are naturally encrypted and stored, only accessible by large consortia, business conglomerates, influential families, or major powers through various means.
As for the experimental results obtained by private forces, they are even more confidential and rarely shown to others, serving as the foundation of the power and used to attract talent and enhance its influence.
The school bus, stopping and starting, finally halted at the entrance of the Fourteenth High School in South City.
Getting off with classmates, Mo Qingchen did not go to his own senior three classroom but instead headed straight to the gymnasium.
All the senior three students, each with a face full of nervousness, gathered here and found the location of their respective classes in the gymnasium.
Mo Qingchen silently walked to the area where class 99 was located, standing quietly behind the class, like a small invisible figure, not attracting any attention at all.
With the advent of the Beast Taming Era, the original nine-year compulsory education became twelve years.
In the first nine years of primary and junior studies, basic knowledge was still taught.
In the last three years of high school studies, a major subject was added—Beast Taming Knowledge, which was further subdivided into Beast Taming Basic Knowledge, Beast Taming Combat Knowledge, and Beast Taming Research Knowledge.
Beast Taming Basic Knowledge consists of basic information on common exotic beasts and monsters, as well as some evolution intelligence.
Beast Taming Combat Knowledge teaches students how to drive their beasts into battle and how to improve the loyalty of their beasts, among other knowledge systems.
Beast Taming Research Knowledge teaches students how to observe the information of beasts, and how to research various auxiliary tools based on the attributes of the beasts to help them exert greater combat power.
Of course, research knowledge also includes how to research the evolution of beasts.
However, for high school students who are just beginning to learn about Beast Taming Knowledge, it is only extremely basic research data, and if one aspires to become a beast research scientist, they need to enter a specific university for advanced studies.
The Divine Xia Empire's arrangement is also considered responsible for all students.
After all, to become a Beastmaster, one must be 18 years old to communicate with the Abyss, awaken their talent, and become an Apprentice Beastmaster.
An Apprentice Beastmaster gets one month of preparation time before being forcibly summoned by the Abyss and sent into a Newbie Trial Dungeon for training.
Once the Abyssal challenge is completed, they can become a true Basic Beastmaster.
Those who do not pass the Abyss challenge will have the Abyss Pattern between their brows erased, retaining only the awakened talent and attribute panel, while sealing all functions of the Abyss Pattern.
This includes the Beast Taming Space, Storage Space, and the contracted Summoned Beast, among others.
In short, once the Abyss Pattern is erased from the brow, you will never be able to contract a summoned beast again, and will have to rely on your awakened talent in the future.
Time passed quickly, and before anyone noticed, it was already 8 a.m.
The students who should be here had all arrived, and the homeroom teacher of class 99, Lao Yutou, with his shiny, slicked-back bald head, came to the front of the class.
"Ahem, students, the most exciting moment of the year has arrived. Old Yu knows you're nervous, but don't be for now, listen to what Old Yu has to say."
Clapping his hands to draw all the students' attention to his shining bald head, Lao Yutou continued speaking.
"No matter what talent you have awakened, do not display your attribute panel!
Because every year, those who show their attribute panels, the better the talent, the higher the probability of accidents!
Of course, if you awaken an S-level Epic or above talent, then displaying it is not a big problem.
Because those who reach S-level and above talents, ninety-nine percent will be exceptionally admitted by a first-class Beast Taming University.
With the protection of the teachers from top universities, unexpected situations are less likely to occur."
Lao Yutou's warning caused an uproar among the students of class 99.
Each year, S-level or above talent holders are extremely rare; not even one may appear in an entire school.
Lao Yutou's words sent a chill through the hearts of the students, and many felt for the first time the malice that filled the current society.
"Ahem, okay, let Old Yu finish speaking first, then you can discuss among yourselves."
Lao Yutou coughed and once again drew everyone's eyes to his gleaming bald head.
"Next, let's talk about the Abyss Summoning Array benefits provided to all senior three students by the Empire.
This is a summon capable of connecting to the Abyss, forcing the Abyss to summon a summoning beast from a certain plane in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms for you to contract.
However!
The key point is coming, you must remember!
As your first contractible summoned beast, the higher the talent, the better!
Because this determines whether you can successfully pass the Newbie Trial Dungeon in a month!
If the summoned beast doesn't have good talent or isn't a combat-type summoned beast, you can refrain from contracting it for now.
There are two ways to handle this summoned beast.
One is to store it in the Beast Taming Space in the Abyss Pattern to contract later.
The other is to sell this summoned beast to those outside who are willing to purchase it."
"Teacher Yu, is there someone willing to buy a summoned beast with trash talent?"
A student who often skipped classes interjected before Lao Yutou could continue speaking.
"Of course, a summoned beast called forth by an Abyssal ritual, even with trash talent, is still a very precious material.
Because such a summoned beast carries Abyssal Aura and world coordinates from the myriad realms.
It is very helpful for beast research.
You'll understand once you're admitted to a Beast Taming University; it's no use talking too much now."
Lao Yutou nodded his shiny bald head and then clapped his hands once more to draw the attention of the students before continuing.
"All right, no more interruptions, I need to go over the remaining points of caution.
Every year, only 50% of Beastmasters successfully complete the trial, so to improve the success rate.
I suggest you contract your first beast as a combat-type summoned beast.
Only this way can you improve your chances of overcoming the Newbie Trial Dungeon.
Of course, this depends on your talent and the beast's talent.
Talent is granted by heaven; we cannot change it.
But the talent of a beast can be altered by human effort!"
He paused here, scanning his students, especially lingering on a few with good family backgrounds before speaking again.
