Beasts: Only I Can See the Hidden Evolution Path

During the lunch break.

**Qinglong Academy, Back Street.**

**Family Apartment.**

With the power out in the apartment, Xiao Ruoxue sat alone on the balcony, lost in thought.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

“Who is it?”

“Sis, it’s me.”

Xiao Ruoxue was momentarily surprised.

“That’s strange; why is Xiao Yu back at this time?”

The lunch break only lasted an hour and a half, so normally Xiao Xingyu would stay at the academy and wouldn’t make the trip back.

Curiosity piqued, she opened the door.

“Xiao Yu, why are you… oh, who is this little sister?”

Xiao Ruoxue immediately noticed the adorable twin-tailed loli following Xiao Xingyu.

“Is this your new girlfriend? She looks a bit young, but her chest is quite developed. At least the child won’t starve after birth.”

Xiao Xingyu awkwardly shook his head.

“Sis, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not interested in lolis, even if they have a youthful face and a developed figure.”

Ye Shimo was a classic example of such a loli, truly a top-tier beauty in that category.

Xiao Xingyu introduced, “This is Ye Shimo, someone I picked up along the way.”

“Ye Shimo? From the Ye family!”

Xiao Ruoxue’s expression changed subtly.

“Yes, one of the four major Beast Master families.”

“Why did you bring her back?”

Xiao Xingyu pulled Xiao Ruoxue aside and explained in a low voice.

“I have a special connection with Shimo and have recognized her as my god-sister.”

Xiao Ruoxue scoffed lightly, teasing, “Oh, yesterday you recognized a god-sister, and today another god-sister? You’re quite the lucky guy!”

“Sis, Shimo ran away from home. We’re just letting her stay here for a few days.”

Xiao Ruoxue suddenly became serious.

“I’ve told you before not to mess with the women from the Ye family. Have you forgotten?”

“This isn’t messing with them. Besides, look at Shimo’s innocent eyes; she won’t cause us any trouble.”

In reality, Xiao Xingyu was deceiving himself. Taking in Ye Shimo could lead to problems if discovered.

But as they say, high risks can lead to high rewards.

Now that Xiao Xingyu had just become a First-Star Beast Master, he desperately needed the valuable materials from Ye Shimo’s backpack.

After some discussion, the siblings exchanged mischievous smiles aimed at Ye Shimo.

“Shimo, you can stay here.”

“Since Xiao Yu recognizes you as his god-sister, that makes you my sister too.”

“Thank you, Sister Ruoxue! You’re so nice!”

Ye Shimo hugged Xiao Ruoxue enthusiastically, and the two beauties shared a moment of closeness.

As the lunch break was about to end, Xiao Xingyu needed to head back to Qinglong Academy for his practical class.

“Shimo, you stay put at home.”

“Sis, keep an eye on her and don’t let her wander around.”

After a few reminders, Xiao Xingyu leaned closer to Ye Shimo, lowering his voice.

“I’ll find a way to help you with your psychological issues.”

“So…”

Ye Shimo understood immediately and poured all the evolution materials from her backpack onto the table.

“Brother, consider these as your consultation fee.”

Xiao Xingyu gently stroked Ye Shimo’s twin tails.

“Such a good little sister, understanding and obedient! I like you!”

**At 2 PM.**

**Qinglong Academy.**

On a sweltering afternoon, the entire Class 3 gathered on the playground.

Chen Qinian stood under the shade of a tree, calling the roll.

“Song Hu!”

“Present!”

“Wu Shengyou!”

“Present!”

“Wang… what kind of name is this?”

“Director Chen, my name is Wang Dahu.”

Chen Qinian looked awkward. “This Wang classmate, your name makes me seem uneducated.”

“Xiao Xingyu!”

“Present.”

Chen Qinian closed the attendance book and announced, “Class 3 is all here. We will start our first practical lesson.”

“In this lesson, we will classify each student’s role on the battlefield based on their talents and the combat styles of their magical beasts.”

Wu Shengyou stood next to Xiao Xingyu and asked quietly, “Big Brother Yu, what is battlefield positioning?”

Xiao Xingyu casually explained.

“Beast Masters focus on teamwork on the battlefield.”

“Everyone has different roles divided into five positions.”

“**Archer Position**: The magical beast under your command possesses ranged attack skills and can frequently wear down enemies from a distance.”

“**Mage Position**: The magical beast specializes in large-scale control skills, able to deal significant damage in team battles.”

“**Tank Position**: The magical beast has strong defensive abilities and healing capabilities, serving as a frontline meat shield to protect teammates.”

“**Assassin Position**: The magical beast is highly agile and capable of finishing off weakened enemies, responsible for entering the battlefield last to secure kills.”

“**Support Position**: The magical beast provides buffs for the team and is responsible for protecting the archer and mage.”

After Xiao Xingyu finished explaining, Wu Shengyou finally understood.

“I get it! It’s just like in a game, right?”

“Teamwork, with everyone playing their roles, will allow us to break down the enemy's crystal.”

Song Hu interjected.

“Well, my role is definitely **Tank**,” he said confidently. “My magical beast, the Berserk Bull Demon, is all about having tough skin and can absorb massive amounts of damage for the team.”

Next to Song Hu stood a bull-headed beastman towering over three meters tall.

This was his magical beast, the Berserk Bull Demon, which indeed had a solid defensive capability and strong recovery skills.

“Brother Yu, what about my positioning?” Wu Shengyou asked, glancing up at the enormous blue butterfly fluttering above him.

Every flap of the butterfly's wings sent ripples through the air.

“This is your magical beast, the Rainstorm Butterfly, which excels in area water-based attacks and can slow down or even confuse enemies.”

“Your role is definitely **Mage**.”

Xiao Xingyu, Wu Shengyou, and Song Hu were all roommates from dormitory 312.

As they chatted, they mentioned their other dormmate, Wu Yifu, who was in Class 2.

“Brother Yu, what do you think Wu Yifu would be good at?” Wu Shengyou asked.

“Hasn’t he said before? He wants to be the strongest support in the country.”

“But we still don’t know what his magical beast is.”

“Let’s ask him tonight when we get back to the dorm.”

Chen Qinian raised his voice, cutting in.

“Xiao Xingyu, no more grinning or whispering during class!”

“Yes, Director Chen!” Xiao Xingyu stood at attention, while Wu Shengyou and Song Hu tried hard to suppress their laughter.

“Next, in order of student numbers, you will take turns summoning your magical beasts to participate in various assessments to determine your battlefield positioning.”

The evaluation assessment began.

“Ma Dongmei, your magical beast can release a large area of toxic mist attacks, so your role is **Mage**.”

“Wang… Wang…”

“Director, repeat after me: Wang, Dahu, Yan.”

“Ahem, Wang Dahu, your magical beast is very agile and can deal critical damage, so your role is **Assassin**.”

“Next student!”

An hour passed.

Out of the 60 students in the class, 59 had completed their assessments and determined their battlefield positions.

Among them, two-thirds were positioned as **Mages** or **Supports**.

The numbers for **Archers** and **Assassins** were low.

The **Tank** role was the least represented, with only Song Hu filling that position.

Chen Qinian turned his attention to the corner where Xiao Xingyu stood.

“Xiao Xingyu, step forward!”

“Summon your magical beast for the assessments.”

“The first test is the attack power test.”
