My beasts evolved after killing just one monster; they all became gods.

Chapter 2: Kill one monster and evolve! Next step: Crimson Flame Python!

What?!

separate?!

boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around them had a burning desire for gossip!

Who would have thought that participating in an awakening ceremony would lead to witnessing such a classic scene!

Upon reaching shore, should I first eliminate my beloved?!

That was well done!

Lin, the school beauty, is right. You, Su Lin, are just an E-rank loser. How do you have such a perfect, top-tier girlfriend?

separate!

We have to break up!

Otherwise, where would we find the opportunity to go?

but……

anyway.

When did Lin University's campus belle get together with Su Lin?

How come we didn't know?

"You silly girl, aren't you bored...?"

Just as everyone was wondering, Su Lin sighed and flicked Lin Qingli's smooth forehead.

"Is he acting like a drama queen?"

"We haven't even been dating, so what's there to talk about breaking up?"

The next second, to everyone's astonishment...

"Ugh, Brother Su Lin, you're not playing with me again, this is no fun~"

Lin Qingli gave a soft hum, pouted her cute little lips, and took Su Lin's hand in a coquettish manner, saying:

"But so what if we haven't talked about it?"

"It's not too late for us to start talking now. We're already over eighteen, my dad can't control us anymore!"

"Well, so that's what they were waiting for."

Su Lin was both amused and exasperated.

"???"

At this moment, the thousands of people around were completely dumbfounded!

No!

What are you two doing here?

One second they're having a breakup drama, the next they're showing off their love?

Listen to what you're saying: date before breaking up?

Is this even human language?!

Is this...an official announcement?

So we're also part of your game?

really!

The prettier the girl, the more likely she is to lie!

First, they announced the breakup to pique our curiosity, and then took the opportunity to announce that they were going to date Su Lin?

wipe!

They lured the dog in here and then killed it!

The more than 3,000 teachers and students present were caught off guard and were given a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), leaving them speechless with frustration.

In fact.

Su Lin himself did not expect Lin Qingli to do this.

He could clearly feel the gazes coming from all directions, which went from shock to confusion, and then to intense envy, jealousy and hatred!

I even overheard a lot of sour whispers.

"Damn it! I'm not having it! Why should School Beauty Lin date him?!"

"Exactly! He's just a piece of trash!"

"Yeah, who is this good-for-nothing? Why is Lin, the school beauty, being so nice to him?"

"Useless? You know nothing! They're childhood sweethearts, and I heard they were even betrothed!"

"Really? Is this true?"

Rumors spread like wildfire, and the entire hall buzzed with excitement.

"It's unclear whether it's true or not, as it's never been officially said, but it seems to be true now, since Lord Lin and Su Lin's parents have a past relationship, and everyone knows about it."

"Yes, after the two heroes died heroically, Su Lin was adopted by City Lord Lin and treated like his own son. He and School Beauty Lin grew up together since they were little!"

"Damn it! I don't agree to this marriage. What era are we living in? An arranged marriage from childhood? I support Lin, the campus belle, breaking off the engagement!"

"Get your ass back, you're nothing! Look at Lin, the campus belle, she doesn't seem to mind at all!"

"..."

When Su Lin's status as the son of a martyr was mentioned, the surrounding chatter subsided considerably.

But he could still sense that most of the seemingly respectful gazes concealed the words "what a pity."

"So what if he's a martyr's son? E-level beast tamers are trash! Lin, the school beauty, is worlds apart from him. Why should a beautiful flower be stuck in cow dung!"

This is what most people are thinking.

Shake his head.

Su Lin didn't pay any attention.

As the saying goes, "With food in hand, one has nothing to fear." With the system at his disposal, he knew his future was bright and naturally wouldn't care about such idle gossip.

He even had the mood to tease Lin Qingli:

"Lin University's campus belle, although I really want to live off you, you've put me in the spotlight right now. After today, I'm afraid all the boys in the school will treat me as public enemy number one. You're not doing this on purpose, are you?"

"screw you."

Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Lin Qingli breathed a sigh of relief, but still defended him verbally:

"Why would I harm you? Anyone who dares to consider you an enemy is also my enemy!"

"Haha, okay."

Su Lin smiled.

He knew very well that Lin Qingli did this without any ill intentions; she was simply trying to put his mind at ease.

After all, the two are indeed engaged, but they didn't officially announce it before because they were too young, and there was no need for it to be.

But now, they have awakened to two professions that are worlds apart. For most people, this would be hard to accept, and they might even feel hopeless.

Therefore, Lin Qingli simply made the announcement in front of everyone, the subtext being to reassure Su Lin that no matter what, she had decided on Su Lin.

Su Lin was naturally very touched by her actions.

However, she never dreamed that Su Lin was not afraid or upset at all. With the system in hand, he was actually quite happy.

Yes, of course, it's more comfortable now.

Su Lin looked around:

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Let's go, let's find somewhere else to talk. If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll be stared at to death by your admirers."

"Okay, let's go home."

Lin Qingli nodded and was about to leave with Su Lin when a voice came from behind her.

"Qingli, wait."

A tall, handsome young man walked over.

His appearance quieted down the surrounding chatter, and everyone looked on with expressions of anticipation.

Zhao Lingyun!

Jiang Yang's Zhao family's eldest son just awakened his SS-level class, the Sword of Divine Wrath, this morning!

Before Lin Qingli awakened, he was recognized as the number one genius in the entire school.

Most importantly, it's common knowledge that he has feelings for Lin Qingli.

They're all young people, who doesn't like pretty girls, especially a top-tier campus belle who's top-notch in both looks and family background?

However, Zhao Lingyun's sudden appearance at this critical juncture suggests that he is about to stage a scene of stealing someone else's love.

Under the curious gaze of everyone.

Zhao Lingyun walked up to the two of them, his gaze falling on Lin Qingli, a gentle smile on his lips:

"Congratulations, Qingli! You've awakened a hidden SSS-level combat class that's never been seen before. It's extremely rare in the entire Dragon Kingdom."

Lin Qingli nodded calmly: "Thank you."

Zhao Lingyun glanced at Su Lin and nodded politely, "Congratulations on your awakening, Su Lin."

Su Lin nodded: "Congratulations."

It's normal for Zhao Lingyun and Lin Qingli, who are both SSS-level and SS-level respectively, to congratulate each other.

As for him, who was an E-level student, Zhao Lingyun used the term "classmate"—a polite way of addressing him, but nothing more.

Zhao Lingyun didn't look at him much, and turned her attention back to Lin Qingli:

"Qingli, where do you plan to apply for the college entrance exam? With your talent, it should be one of the two best universities in Beijing or Shanghai, right?"

"Or, if they perform even better... how about going through the special recruitment route for the Demon Suppression Army's reserve force?"

Lin Qingli was no different from a normal girl in front of Su Lin, but she was very aloof in front of others.

Her eyebrows furrowed, conveying an air of aloofness that kept people at arm's length.

"Where I apply is none of your business."

Upon hearing this, everyone around held their breath.

"Well……"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lingyun was only momentarily stunned before recovering and smiling faintly:

"That's true. See you in ten days for the college entrance exam. I hope we can fight side by side then."

After saying that, he turned and left.

He didn't glance at Su Lin even once throughout the entire process.

They didn't even ask a single question about the so-called romantic relationship the two had just discussed.

It's as if... they didn't take this matter seriously at all!

"That's... all?"

Until Zhao Lingyun's figure disappeared, no one around had reacted.

I thought it would be a triumphant mockery, and maybe I'd even hear the famous saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential." But it turned out to be so bland.

However, some people secretly shook their heads, their gazes towards Su Lin filled with sympathy.

Indeed, in their brief interaction, Zhao Lingyun was very polite and courteous.

But while he seemed to say nothing, he actually said everything!

One is an SS-rank sword god seed, and the other is an E-rank beast tamer!

We're from completely different worlds.

They're too lazy to even make a sarcastic remark!

This is not arrogance.

It's ignoring it!

Lin Qingli noticed the strange looks around her, and her brows furrowed even more.

She turned to look at Su Lin and found that his expression was calm, as if he hadn't felt anything.

"Su Lin..."

"It's nothing," Su Lin smiled. "Let's go."

The two walked out of the Awakening Hall.

On the way, Lin Qingli suddenly stopped and looked at him intently:

"Su Lin, don't take Zhao Lingyun's words to heart."

Su Lin raised an eyebrow: "What did he say?"

"He..." Lin Qingli paused, "He didn't say anything, but I know what he meant."

Su Lin smiled.

Indeed, Zhao Lingyun didn't say anything.

But the subtext that "you are no longer worthy to stand with her" is more jarring than any sarcastic remark.

If it were someone else, they might feel hurt by this kind of disregard.

Su Lin found it laughable!

So, the SS-class professionals are putting on airs?

Trying to play these psychological tricks on me?

I'm a man with a built-in cheat code!

If you ignore me, I can't be bothered to even bother with you!

"Don't worry, Qingli, I'm really fine," Su Lin said earnestly.

Lin Qingli bit her red lips and took out a card from her pocket:

"This is the awakening gift my dad asked me to give you before I left today. It contains one million star coins. Use this to contract a good D-grade beast pet first, and you'll get a head start."

Su Lin stared at the card and remained silent for two seconds.

Although he is only an E-level Beastmaster, theoretically he can command beasts of any rank.

Of course, this is only theoretical.

Contracting with a beast pet of the same rank is the easiest, and as long as the level difference isn't too great, it's almost 100% successful.

However, if you move up to the next level, the difficulty increases infinitely. Even for artificially hatched pets, the success rate is less than 30%.

As for going any higher, the success rate is almost zero.

This is why beast tamers are often called useless.

Even if other professions are trash, as long as you spend a lot of money to improve your equipment, skills, and other external factors, you can still have a certain level of combat power.

Beastmasters rely entirely on their pets for skill. The growth potential of a pet determines everything. If you can't contract a high-level pet, you're just a weakling that money can't help!

but……

What does it matter to me, Su Lin, that the Beast Tamer is weak?

I'm coming clean, I'm a cheater, I have an infinite evolution system!

Shake his head.

Su Lin smiled and said:

I know you meant well.

"I know even better that if I accept now, you'll feel much more at ease."

"While being a kept man may seem appealing, one shouldn't indulge in it indiscriminately."

His cheat ability needs to evolve from the very bottom up.

Giving him a D-rank pet would be a waste of his evolution potential.

"Take it back, I don't need it."

Su Lin pushed the card back.

Lin Qingli became anxious:

"Su Lin, don't be reckless! E-rank Beast Tamers are really weak. Without good pets, you'll have a hard time even graduating from the college entrance exam in ten days!"

The college entrance examination in this world is also a crucial juncture that determines the life trajectory of all professionals.

The Awakened University in the Dragon Kingdom is not just about teaching some book knowledge; it is about all aspects of a professional's life.

Getting into a good university is like having countless resources, a strong background, a vast network of connections... the benefits are too numerous to count.

The minimum requirement for participating in the college entrance examination is that newly awakened professionals must raise their level to level 15 within ten days.

It is challenging, but not difficult, for most professionals.

But if it's an E-rank Beastmaster...

Forget graduating, even being able to participate in the competition is a problem.

of course.

Again.

So what if the Beast Tamer is no good? What does that have to do with me, Su Lin?

Don't worry.

Su Lin looked at Lin Qingli and said seriously:

"You know I'm not the kind of person who suffers for the sake of saving face; I have my own methods."

"What method?"

"secret."

Lin Qingli stared at him for a long while, and finally sighed:

"Okay, but remember, just let me know if you need any help."

"Don't worry, I'm not being polite with you."

Su Lin laughed and said, "Alright, you should go back and tell Uncle Lin the good news first."

"You're a super genius girl who awakened an SSS-level hidden job, and you've only been thinking about my feelings, without even having a proper celebration. Go back and let Uncle Lin give you a proper celebration."

"And what about you?"

"I'm going to take care of something, don't ask."

"Alright..."

The two parted ways at the school gate.

Lin Qingli was picked up by the city lord's car, while Su Lin went out of the city alone.

Twenty minutes later.

sunset.

Su Lin arrived at the monster area.

"I've chosen you!"

Without wasting any time, he cast a contract spell on the first monster he encountered!

Swish!

A faint golden light flashed by.

Unsurprisingly, these roaming monsters are mostly of the lowest E rank, guaranteeing a 100% success rate.

A mental connection appeared in Su Lin's mind, and he could clearly feel a weak fluctuation.

Bring up the panel.

[Little Fire Serpent (E-rank)]

[Level: 1 (2%)]

[Health Volume: 70/70]

[Mana: 100/100]

Attack: 11

[Defense: 4]

【Speed: 5】

[Skill: Fireball (Consumes 5 mana, deals 1.5 times attack damage, 3-second cooldown)]

[Description: A frail little fire serpent with a weak ability to control fire; its bloodline and combat strength can only be described as pitiful.]

[Evolutionary Path: Crimson Serpent (D-rank)]

[Evolution Progress: 0/1]

Hmm... this attribute is indeed very weak.

You could even say... incredibly weak!

As a "mage" among monsters, it only has 70 HP.

Without a doubt, any professional could easily crush this ordinary little red snake.

Su Lin, however, did not care.

His gaze was fixed on the panel.

All the information above is the same as the normal pet panel, except that there are two extra lines at the bottom!

These simple words alone stirred Su Lin's blood and filled him with a surge of heroic spirit!

really!

You can evolve by killing just one monster!

Moreover, it is the Crimson Flame Python, a top-tier fire-type pet among D-grade pets, renowned for its extremely high lethality!

What are we waiting for?!

Su Lin's eyes sparkled.

Today at the awakening site, although he remained calm and confident, the overwhelming strange looks and amused gazes still made him hold his breath!

What sympathy or pity?

What SS-level genius?

What do you mean I'm not good enough for SSS-level Lin Qingli?

Who do you think you are?

Ten days from now, when we meet again after the college entrance exam, stand at attention and speak!

At this moment, all the pent-up anger in Su Lin's chest transformed into a surge of passion and murderous intent!

How can I vent my anger?

Only one word!

kill!!
