Bab 18: Chapter 18 Hu Tao's Destiny Guardian Beast!_1
Editor: Atlas Studios
Hu Tao's written exam scores were not exceptional, but that did not make Hu Tao a poor student.
If Hu Tao were a poor student, she would not have been able to get into Jinghai High School for Beast Masters.
So, at a glance, Hu Tao recognized what Fang Mu handed to her was a Silver Stage Blood Nourishing Honey Date.
The Silver Stage Blood Nourishing Honey Dates were a size larger than the Copper Stage ones, with a more vivid red color.
Hu Tao's family was financially comfortable.
In Hu Tao's personal stash, there were also twenty to thirty thousand Dragon Rising Coins.
A Blood Nourishing Honey Date worth 120 Dragon Rising Coins wasn't a big deal for Hu Tao.
But it was the first time Fang Mu had given her a gift.
On Hu Tao's pallid face, there seemed to be a touch of faint rouge, akin to a blooming peach blossom in the mountain temple at the beginning of spring.
Hu Tao did not act courteously with Fang Mu. After taking the Silver Stage Blood Nourishing Honey Date from him, she quickly ate it.
Then she threw the pit into the trash can in the study room.
As soon as the Silver Stage Blood Nourishing Honey Date entered her stomach, Hu Tao's complexion immediately improved significantly compared to before.
The rosy glow concealed the faint blush.
"It's really sweet, way more delicious than the Copper Stage Blood Nourishing Honey Dates!"
"Fang Mu, I saw Teacher Cui when I came in."
"It seems that Teacher Cui will stop teaching us Spirit Material Analysis Class after this semester."
"He asked me to ask you whether you've decided yet."
Hu Tao knew that Cui Ruochen often gave Fang Mu extra guidance, involving him in research projects.
Hu Tao did not envy such preferential treatment at all.
That's because such preferential treatment was not something everyone could handle.
While speaking, Hu Tao seemed a bit disappointed.
Despite Cui Ruochen's stern demeanor, he was certainly a good teacher who always considered his students.
Fang Mu was aware that Cui Ruochen was preparing for his evaluation as a Junior Creator.
Cui Ruochen's decision to temporarily suspend teaching showed that he was ready for the final push.
Cui Ruochen had previously asked Fang Mu if he wanted to join two research projects with him.
The two research projects combined would take approximately two months.
At that time, Fang Mu's answer was that he would consider it.
Now Fang Mu had become a Beast Master.
Before the formation of the Covenant Blood Essence, he had a lot of free time.
Using this time to do research studies would bring Fang Mu significant benefits in the academic field.
Fang Mu was unsure how long it would take for a drop of Covenant Blood Essence to condense, but it definitely wouldn't be fast.
So, Fang Mu decided to go ahead and complete these two research projects with Cui Ruochen.
The Blood Aged Wine allowed Fang Mu to effortlessly impersonate a Master Creator and a Grandmaster Creator.
However, Fang Mu still chose not to forsake his pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement.
Even in the Beastmaster world, knowledge was power.
It allowed Fang Mu to make informed decisions instead of blindly following others.
After finishing these two research projects with Cui Ruochen,
Even if the condensation of the Covenant Blood Essence was slow, at least one drop would have formed.
The process of the research subject would not hinder Fang Mu's regular blood extraction.
With so many blood-supplying spiritual materials to assist him, Fang Mu didn't need to worry about blood extraction affecting the next day's research.
The class that Fang Mu and Hu Tao missed mainly discussed the effects and differences of Poison Series Beasts.
The class provided a detailed classification of this series, such as blood poison, skin toxins, and mental toxins.
It also mentioned the environmental and land pollution caused by the toxins carried by dimensional beasts in the Dimensional Rift.
This is why after killing dimensional beasts, they cannot be buried on the spot for natural decomposition.
Instead, a significant amount of manpower and resources are required to perform unified disposal in the city's incinerator.
Fang Mu had already mastered this lesson a long time ago.
Fang Mu had written a research paper on toxic elements.
However, this paper applied many types of knowledge that Fang Mu had mastered in his previous life.
Such knowledge cannot be proven in this world, hence his research couldn't be published.
It would be more accurate to say that the tutoring session was basically Fang Mu teaching Hu Tao, rather than a reciprocal learning session.
With Fang Mu's explanation, within an hour, he completely explained a two-hour lesson to Hu Tao.
Afterward, Fang Mu worked with Hu Tao to complete a test paper on Bird Beast Masters.
By the time Fang Mu and Hu Tao left the library, the bright moon was already hanging in the sky.
Fang Mu had planned to do as usual - go to the school cafeteria with Hu Tao for dinner, and then each of them would head home.
But Hu Tao made a suggestion.
"There's a great seafood restaurant in Lingshui District."
"Let's go there for dinner, my treat!"
Fang Mu had helped Hu Tao review her lessons many times.
Yet Hu Tao had never made such a suggestion before.
It might be because he gave Hu Tao a Silver Stage Blood Nourishing Honey Date. Hu Tao wanted to show her gratitude.
The prices at the new seafood restaurant in the Lingshui District were quite high, a meal would cost at least 500 Dragon Rising Coins.
Many ingredients used in the dishes came from Guardian Beasts.
Fang Mu chuckled and shook his head, saying,
"Every time I help you to review your lessons, you treat me to a meal in the cafeteria."
"Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal in the cafeteria today!"
Fang Mu quickly changed the topic of conversation.
You, young lady, will aim to break through the Two Mang star when you are in Senior three.
At that time, not only your Destiny Guardian Beast but also the later-contracted Iron-winged Sparrow, will face an upgrade in strength.
And that's a significant investment!
Therefore, you mustn't be wasteful with your money!
Moreover, Fang Mu was helping Hu Tao out of friendliness. There was also no need for her to keep looking for ways to return the favor.
Hu Tao has a rare puppet-type Destiny Guardian Beast named the Bird Armor Puppet.
Hu Tao had not kept the skills of the Bird Armor Puppet from Fang Mu.
This puppet-type Destiny Guardian Beast could attach itself to any bird-type Guardian Beast.
In essence, it was a set of weapons and equipment that could adapt to any bird-type Guardian Beast.
Furthermore, when the Bird Armor Puppet was combined with a bird-type Guardian Beast, it enabled Hu Tao to increase her control over that bird-type Guardian Beast.
Otherwise, even if Hu Tao wanted to practice controlling the Iron-winged Sparrow to fight against two Iron Guts Berserk Bears, the teacher overseeing wouldn't have allowed it.
The National Beastmaster League of High School Graduates was an individual strength competition.
Conversely, the National Beastmaster League of University Students was a team competition.
Each team consisted of six members, and only five could participate at once.
The six members rotated taking turns as substitutes according to the situation of their opponents.
Due to the limitations of the number and abilities of contracted beasts, Beast Masters could only exhibit their strongest battle power through team cooperation.
Therefore, once they reached university, the Dragon Rising Federation's education focus shifted to teamwork.
Before Fang Mu became a Beast Master, he hadn't even considered participating in the National Beastmaster League of High School Graduates, let alone the National Beastmaster League of University Students.
However, now that he had become a Beast Master, during his university years, he would undoubtedly look to participate in the National Beastmaster League of University Students.
The National Beastmaster League of University Students was conducted within teams made up from various universities.
Both Hu Tao and Fang Mu planned to apply to Jinghai Tianyu University.
Hu Tao would be a fantastic teammate for Fang Mu!
