This pleased Fang Mu greatly.

As it marks the start of the new academic year today, many Beast Cars came to Jinghai High School for Beast Masters to drop off students.

Hence, the school had specially allocated a large empty space on the left side of the main entrance for the Beast Cars to park.

Fang Mu was always punctual in whatever he did, arriving at school half an hour early.

“Young Master, since you’re going to class, I will head off first to the scavenger’s area to deal with some Alien Beast Corpses!”

“If I don’t handle the Alien Beast Corpses this month, I’m afraid my merits won’t be enough to exchange for a Flying Scale Serpent even in half a year!”

He Qing was now employed by Fang Mu, and enjoyed a state of absolute freedom except for when Fang Mu and Lu Xiaoyin needed to use the car.

Fang Mu did not use the Soul Parasite Ant offspring produced by the Covenant Servant Soul Ant Queen to control He Qing, thus He Qing was not exactly one of Fang Mu’s insiders.

There is a saying that one helps during emergencies, not when one is impoverished.

While Fang Mu was willing to help He Qing in times of danger, he would not go to the extent of helping He Qing locate and cultivate Beasts as he did for Lu Xiaoyin and Yin Nanzhen.

“Sister Qing, feel free to go. If needed, Xiaoyin will definitely give you a call!”

After speaking, Fang Mu took big strides towards the entrance from where he parked.

Along the way, many junior students voluntarily greeted Fang Mu.

Fang Mu was a legendary figure throughout his three years at Jinghai High School for Beast Masters.

He was the only one who consistently ranked among the top ten in their grade even though he was not a Beast Master.

Many people found that hard to swallow.

In the world of Beast Masters, they find it hard to accept that an ordinary person could surpass themselves.

This led many to feel that the proportion of practical test scores in the total examination score was very unreasonable.

It is not only these students, many scholars also raised similar doubts.

However, in the face of all these doubts, the Purple Que School Palace remained unchanged in their grading system.

In a public press conference, the judge of the Purple Que School Palace clearly stated that before university, the main focus of Beast Masters was acquiring knowledge.

Once they progressed to university, the focus would shift to practical tests. However, cultural courses would still account for 40 percent of the total score.

The reason being, numerous Beast Masters have proved with their lives a principle.

This principle is that if you go to battle in the wild or are in the process of producing something without knowledge to arm yourself with, even strong capabilities could easily cost you your life.

Not only do a Beast Master and his family work tirelessly from junior high school to university, but the Dragon Rising Federation also invests heavily in education resources.

The death of every Beast Master equates to a waste of the Dragon Rising Federation’s educational resources.

Hence, no matter how many doubts there are, Fang Mu’s yearly ranking is there for all to see.

Fang Mu had once heard some of his classmates say that they would rank last in their university year.

Having lived for two lifetimes, Fang Mu simply did not care.

So what if I were to be ranked last?

My goal in university is to learn skills, to lay the foundation for becoming the assistant of a Creator in the future.

Now Fang Mu did not even need to pay attention to it.

Watching Su Fan’s battle with Fang Mu, he saw Su Fan’s identity certificate.

One could say that Fang Mu’s present capabilities have already outstripped those of his peers.

Before Fang Mu could even catch up with his peers, he had already left them behind.

Suddenly, just as he was about to step into the school, Fang Mu heard a familiar voice.

“Come! Eat it quickly while it’s hot! My mum brought four of them today!”

“We’ve added red dates to these two cups of soy milk, but you’ll have to wait a while before drinking.”

“The soy milk is still somewhat hot!”

Fang Mu was a little surprised to hear this familiar voice.

In his memory, Hu Tao was never an early riser. Although she never arrived late for class, she would never come early.

Why has she come so early this time?

Fang Mu turned around and took the pie that Hu Tao had handed him, biting into it without reservation.

He skillfully unsealed the bottle of soy milk for Hu Tao.

With a probing tone, Fang Mu asked Hu Tao,

“You didn’t finish your holiday homework again?”

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao quickly nodded and said,

“I’ve finished the homework for the subjects I was lagging behind in, but I didn’t lift a finger for the subjects I’m good at!”

“Anyway, holiday homework is always collected three days after the start of term!”

“Fang Mu, lend me yours to copy.”

Hearing this, Fang Mu nodded reluctantly, yet he admired Hu Tao’s approach to learning in his heart.

Hu Tao wasn’t like some people who enjoy putting their effort into subjects they’re good at.

Compared to spending time on subjects she excelled at, Hu Tao rather spend her time on topics she didn’t understand.

This allowed Hu Tao to maximize her improvement in the shortest amount of time.

Just then, Fang Mu’s phone began to ring.

Seeing that it was Cui Ruochen calling, Fang Mu quickly answered the call.

“Fang Mu, I heard that you did not make the representative speech for the new and old students. You should have some free time, right?”

“I moved my dorm to the small auditorium. Come by, I’ll introduce you to a Senior Creator.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Mu couldn’t help but to feel heartened.

Cui Ruochen did not know any Senior Creators before.

To repay Cui Ruochen’s kindness, he had Lu Xiaoyin hint to He Deen, who had been working closely with him to concoct Soul Potions, to initiate contact with Cui Ruochen and help him understand the situation of the Creator exam.

According to his calculations, He Deen should have just gotten to know Cui Ruochen one or two weeks ago, and had only just built up a good rapport with him.

However, now Cui Ruochen was ready to return the favor.

“I’m not a Creator yet, so I don’t really know much about the circles within the Creator world.”

“This Senior Creator is quite amicable.”

“Aren’t you aspired to be an assistant to a Creator? You could ask Mr. He in which areas you should exert more effort to become a Creator’s assistant!”

When Cui Ruochen uttered the name “Mr. He”, Fang Mu confirmed his hunch.

Fang Mu didn’t need any tutoring from the so-called Senior Creator, but he couldn’t bring himself to reject Cui Ruochen’s kind intentions.

“Teacher Cui, I’ll be right over!”

“I have already sorted out all the materials you asked me to organize.”

As soon as Fang Mu hung up the phone, Hu Tao teased,

“Fang Mu, I think Teacher Cui doesn’t really seem to be your class teacher, more like your private tutor!”

“I heard that Teacher Cui has moved his dorm to the small auditorium. While you look for Teacher Cui, I can accompany you and take a longer route!”

Fang Mu and Hu Tao walked together to the entrance of the small auditorium.

Hu Tao was about to say goodbye to Fang Mu, when suddenly the morning sky darkened drastically.

A giant dark red split appeared in the sky, making the sky resemble a cracked shell.
