It seems that District 27 is indeed far more dangerous than District 25; at that time in District 25, she had bought several corn cakes without a single pet beast coming to snatch them away... Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her with an impassive expression, quietly placing Yaobao, who was in her arms, onto the ground.
Yaobao got it in a second.
The next second, its body slowly grew larger, returning to its original size.
Qiao Sang unconsciously relaxed her emotions, feeling a strong sense of security.
Elun cast an approving glance:
"Not bad, it seems that you remember everything I said, Qiao Sang. The first thing we Beast Tamers should do in the Lower Districts is to summon our pet beasts to stay by our side to protect ourselves. The more powerful the pet beast is, the less likely it is for wild pet beasts to approach close by. There’s no need to hide the strength of your pet beast in this place; letting your pet beast display its powerful side is a crucial point."
"You’ll find that here, you hardly see any pet beasts with the so-called lightweight shrinking bracelets. All Beast Tamers let their pet beasts maintain their original forms."
No, I forgot; I just subconsciously let Yaobao grow bigger because it felt safer... Qiao Sang complained inwardly, but outwardly, she maintained the demeanor of a top student who had mastered the basics.
The classmates beside her struggled to shift their gaze away from Yaobao and began to form hand seals, starting to summon their pet beasts.
Except for Tang Yi, Yuna, and Hughlis, the rest of the classmates were seeing Yaobao’s original form for the first time.
The imposing presence and the level of splendor were completely different from its shrunken form, stunning them for a moment.
When everyone had summoned their pet beasts, the previously wary wild pet beasts around them shifted their gaze away, no longer paying attention to this group’s movements.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Elun said:
"You are Beast Tamers; even though you are still weak now, as long as you stick together, the majority of intelligent wild pet beasts will not unprovokedly attack a group of Beast Tamers."
After saying this, she paused and then added: ƒreewebɳovel.com
"Unless you provoke them."
"Teacher, what are we going to do now?" a female classmate asked, raising her hand.
Elun’s expression turned serious, and she said word for word:
"Rely on yourselves to make your way from here to 106 Awu Avenue; this is the content of your last field practice class."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang immediately took out her phone and began navigating the route from their current location to Awu Avenue.
Although it was just a simple walk, Qiao Sang still remembered the lady in District 25 who was sprayed with water by the Hydrofruit just for accidentally blocking the sunlight. She knew that the journey might not be an easy one.
Elun continued:
"You can form teams or set off alone; however, the bodyguards accompanying you can only protect you from the shadows and cannot stay directly by your side."
"I will be observing your performance through surveillance."
As soon as these words were spoken, classmates began looking around to choose their companions.
At such a time, naturally, it was most prudent to team up with the strongest classmates.
Qiao Sang noticed that many people were looking her way.
You don’t think of me during normal discussions, but now you remember me... Qiao Sang’s brain was powerful, and with the enhancement she had received, all her senses were strengthened. Even though she was looking at her navigation, she sensed the stares of her classmates and straightened her back in silence.
At this moment, Tang Yi asked:
"Teacher, will teaming up or traveling alone affect the final grading?"
Everyone quieted down and looked at Elun, waiting for her answer.
Elun replied with a smile:
"Of course, it will. However, what primarily matters is whether you have a good grasp of some field knowledge and your performance when facing wild pet beasts."
The students’ expressions varied, with many already abandoning the idea of teaming up.
If the grading criteria were like this, then forming a team would mean fewer chances to showcase their skills.
For instance, if something that one could have resolved oneself was taken care of by another team member first, that person would leave an impression on the teacher, and their points would increase accordingly.
The points would only be awarded to the top three individuals, not the members of the top three teams. If others had more points, it meant you had fewer points.
In other words, this was essentially an individual contest.
Twenty-three kilometers in total... Qiao Sang confirmed the route she would need to walk next, put down her phone, and asked:
"Does getting there first mean higher scores?"
"Not necessarily." Elun didn’t give a definitive answer.
Qiao Sang asked further, "Do we go straight back after the class is over?"
"Of course." Elun looked at Qiao Sang with amusement and said, "Don’t tell me you want to spend some time in the Lower Districts?"
Qiao Sang fell silent.
She didn’t want to take a stroll; it just felt like, since she was here, she might as well take the opportunity to let Gangbao visit home, after all, Gangbao had mentioned it wanted to go home...
Seeing that no students had any more questions, Elun nodded towards her pet beast.
The pet beast, covered entirely with green vines, shuddered, and suddenly, something like seeds floated from it and gently drifted onto the shoulder of each student.
"The Gui Eye on your shoulders allows my Gui Manweng to sense your location." Elun remarked, pausing deliberately during her explanation.
In that gap, all the seed pods slowly opened, and the item inside turned around, resembling green bean-like eyeballs.
Qiao Sang and Tang Yi looked at their shoulders with astonished faces.
The rest of the classmates appeared unfazed, all maintaining composed expressions.
