The insects in my house are dragons.

Chapter 44 Jianghuai Tower!

After spending a relatively quiet night in the school dormitory, Yun Che and Sun Yifan took a car to the classroom early the next morning.

There was no fancy freshman orientation or boring speeches from leaders.

This pleased Yun Che greatly.

Not long after I arrived at the classroom, my counselor, Tian Yinzheng, came and gave a brief self-introduction.

"Hello everyone, my name is Tian Yinzheng. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be your counselor for the next four years. You can just call me Teacher Tian."

Afterwards, Tian Yinzheng briefly recounted the history of Jianghuai University and various precautions to take on campus, emphasizing the importance of studying and wishing everyone to avoid failing any courses.

Next came the election of class officers.

It brought life to the otherwise dull classroom.

Quite a few people are still willing to run for class officer. Although it involves work, it allows them to interact more with teachers and earn academic credits.

It's important to note that the credits earned at Jianghuai University aren't just for graduation; they can actually be used as "money."

You can exchange credits for various resources in the school's resource area.

This is a resource from Jianghuai University!

Yun Che had never heard of such a system before; no wonder so many people wanted to run for office.

The position of class monitor ultimately fell to Xiong Yuhe, who was the most active student during the freshman year, without any surprises.

Since it was the beginning of the semester and everyone was unfamiliar with each other, Xiong Yuhe was the most active, creating class groups, notifying students of entrance exams, helping with registration and reporting, and so on.

He should be the class monitor.

Yun Che pretended to be dead the whole time.

To be honest, if he had known earlier that credits could have this effect, he would have been a little tempted.

The positions of class officers have been "divided up".

Counselor Tian Yinzheng talked about the entrance test that everyone was most concerned about.

"There's something I need to tell everyone." Tian Yinzheng picked up the chalk and continued writing on the blackboard: "Jianghuai Tower has four entrances."

"I know, there are four entrances: freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior!" an enthusiastic student shouted.

Tian Yinzheng smiled slightly, "No, these four entrances are: Mutation, Extraordinary, Lord, and High Lord."

Ok?

Not only Yun Che, but most of the people in the classroom were stunned.

"As the name suggests, the first entrance to the mutation stage is only accessible to pets in the mutation stage. The same applies to the extraordinary level entrance, the lord level entrance, and the high lord level entrance."

"There will be multiple checkpoints inside Jianghuai Tower. Take Cao Siyue and his mutated Thunder Mane Wolf as an example."

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at Cao Siyue, who was sitting arrogantly at the back of the classroom, and Lei Zonglang, who was standing imposingly beside him.

"If Cao Siyue enters Jianghuai Tower, that will be the entrance to the mutation period, where he will use the Thunder Mane Wolf as his pet to pass through the level."

"I know that some of my classmates have pets whose strength level has reached the extraordinary level, so these classmates need to enter the extraordinary level entrance."

Extraordinary level?

Cao Siyue, who had been quite arrogant just a second ago, changed his expression slightly.

Everyone's eyes swept back and forth in the classroom, but not everyone summoned their pet beasts; some kept them in their beast-taming space.

Yun Che, on the other hand, was quite composed.

It would be strange if none of the freshmen in the Beast Taming Department of Jianghuai University, even those who weren't specially admitted, had pets that reached the extraordinary level.

"Teacher Tian, ​​the entrance to the extraordinary level is definitely much more difficult than the entrance to the mutation stage. The credits and grades we get can't be judged entirely by how many levels we pass, right?" someone asked, raising their hand.

"Of course." Tian Yinzheng nodded.

"The base number of credits obtained differs between the Mutation Stage and the Transcendent Stage. The starting credits are different, and the points earned for each level you clear also differ."

That makes more sense.

Then someone else asked, "Teacher Tian, ​​we'll definitely be taming more pets later. Does that mean we can still enter the Mutation Period entrance to earn credits after taming new pets?"

Does that mean I can get credits?

Tian Yinzheng smiled and said, "If you can break your own record, of course you can."

Simply put, if a student fails to complete the fifth level of the mutation period on their first attempt, they will receive credits for the first four levels.

If he tames a second pet beast and then tries to pass the fifth level of the mutation period, he will only be able to earn the credits for the fifth level.

But to be honest.

There are very few people with nothing better to do than deliberately keep their pets in the mutation stage just to pass levels and gain a few credits, especially students who have already improved their strength.

If a pet's strength level reaches the lord level, would it still care about a few credits during the mutation period?

Of course, there are also people who simply want to train their pets and get a few credits along the way.

Afterwards, everyone asked some more questions until Tian Yinzheng checked the time and confirmed that it was their Beast Taming Class Two's turn, then she called everyone to head to Jianghuai Tower.

...

Jianghuai Tower is located in the northwest corner of the campus.

It was a gray-white building with a plain exterior. The floors were indistinguishable because there were no windows at all. From the outside, it looked more like... a giant metal box.

When Beast Taming Class Two arrived, the Beast Taming Class One hadn't left yet and were gathered around an electronic screen, discussing the situation.

Tian Yinzheng gestured for everyone to wait aside before stepping forward to communicate with the class counselor and the person in charge of Jianghuai Tower.

"Ah Che, look!" Sun Yifan said, pointing to the electronic screen surrounded by a large crowd.

Actually, even without Sun Yifan's reminder, Yun Che had already noticed that there were quite a few people gathered there.

"Rankings?" It's a bit far away, so I can't see them very clearly.

"Chirp?" Kongkong also tried to prop his head up and look around.

"It's also available on the campus network," Sun Yifan said, taking out his phone.

Yun Che and Kong Kong both leaned their heads in.

It really is a ranking.

"It's said to be to motivate students, and the ranking is based on the number of levels passed, the time taken, and the evaluation score, with weights from highest to lowest."

Sun Yifan continued, "If we make the list, we can get even more credits!"

Not only at the entrance to the mutation period, but at each entrance there is a list recording the top fifty students from each year.

"Ache, look at the first place!" Sun Yifan exclaimed excitedly.

The top performer during the mutation period is a person named Jiang Yubai. His enrollment time is eight years ago. His pet beast is the Sun Butterfly. His race level is low-level monarch. His strength level is late-stage mutation. He has passed eight trials!

Yun Che clicked his tongue in amazement.

A low-ranking monarch, trying to break through this stage of change?

Someone who can tame a low-ranking monarch-level pet beast must at least be approaching the threshold of a master-level beast tamer, right?

And why does the name "Jiang Yubai" sound so familiar?

The second place is much more normal. Three years ago, Yin Ruolan's pet was an ice-type Ice Crystal Spirit, a high-level extraordinary race with the strength level of the late stage of mutation, and she passed six levels.

The next three to fifteenth place finishers all passed six rounds, but the time taken and the scores differed.

Those ranked from fifteenth to fiftieth all passed all five rounds and were ranked according to time taken and score.

Yun Che even saw the name of a "familiar face" in it, Lan Xiangya.

The twentieth place winner used a pet animal that is one of the signature creatures of the Blue River Breeding Base: the axolotl.

It seems she doesn't care about the ranking during this period of change.

Otherwise, with the low-ranking monarch-level Blue Feather Rin Duck she tamed, her ranking would have been much higher.

Also.

Compared to the ranking rewards and credits of the Extraordinary or even Lord levels, who would still value the rewards of the Mutation stage?

"Chirp!" Kongkong suddenly grabbed Yun Che's hair.

Ah Che, the rankings have changed!

The little guy observed quite carefully; he noticed that the name in 45th place had changed, and the rankings of everyone else had been lowered.

Judging from the sudden commotion in Class 1, it must be the students from that class who came to the 45th position.

At this time.

"Everyone!" Tian Yinzheng clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention in Class Two. "Line up and enter the entrance according to your pet's strength level!"

"Teacher Tian, ​​shall we come in together?"

"Together."

So everyone lined up and entered Jianghuai Tower one by one.

I don't know why.

When he reached the entrance, Yun Che suddenly paused.

Ok?

He looked at the dark entrance in front of him with some surprise.

The power of Tokiwa told him that the Jianghuai Tower in front of him seemed to be... a living thing?!
