Lu Wu, after sending Dudu back home, made a detour to the community supermarket to buy some alcohol for his dad, and also picked up a notebook to write his diary at home.

Just as he left the supermarket, he ran right into Lin Jianying.

"Good evening!"

Lu Wu's eyes immediately fell on the distinctively large goblin behind Lin Jianying and greeted Lin Jianying, who did not expect to run into him and seemed a bit unnatural.

"Good... good evening!"

Lin Jianying's smile was strained as he responded to Lu Wu.

The goblin behind him immediately raised its eyebrows; it remembered this human. This human was strange, always wanting to touch it.

The goblin didn't like him and really wanted to hit him, but its master had said it could not hit or be rude to people, so it could only hide behind Lin Jianying, hoping Lu Wu wouldn't notice it.

But that was clearly impossible.

As soon as Lu Wu saw the creature, his eyes lit up, "Has your goblin advanced?"

"Hm?"

"Can I touch it?"

No, you can't—don't touch me!

The goblin was very unwilling, but unfortunately, its master thought it was okay.

So, the goblin was pulled in front of Lu Wu, who was allowed to examine it freely.

What made the goblin even more uncomfortable was that not only did Lu Wu touch it, but Little Skeleton from Lu Wu's house also got involved.

...

...

Looking at the goblin's attributes, Lu Wu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He had to say, every time he saw this goblin, its attributes were different.

The changes this time were particularly significant.

Its three-star strength was only a little away from reaching the Elite Level.

Its shape had already undergone one evolution, and although the quality had dropped to the Ordinary Level due to the shape evolution, this did not affect the goblin's combat power.

After all, quality itself does not have a significant impact on combat power.

It mainly affects the potential of a Summoned Beast, such as the upper limit of strength growth and shape evolution.

If the quality cannot reach the Black Iron Level, it would be incredibly difficult to achieve both the first shape evolution and a breakthrough from an Ordinary foundation to the Elite Level.

And often, the breakthrough in power and shape evolution are linked.

Since the goblin has already evolved into a Goblin Warrior, becoming an Elite Level Summoned Beast should not be difficult for it.

Even, if its quality can be improved further during the next phases of training, it might even undergo a Second Evolution and take another leap in power.

However, at the moment, Lu Wu was more concerned about how the goblin had evolved.

After all, when school started, and Lu Wu touched it, the creature only had one-star strength. In less than two months, it had grown to this extent; could Ye Qingxue really be that amazing?

At the same time, Lu Wu couldn't help but recall the girl with the long legs from earlier today.

At the time, he didn't see a Summoned Beast following the girl. Since Summoned Beasts of Ordinary strength cannot stray too far from their masters, they are usually close by. Since that girl was the class president of the advanced class and her Summoned Beast was not with her, there was only one possibility: the girl's Summoned Beast might already be above Ordinary Level.

"Is your class president's Summoned Beast already at the Elite Level?"

Hmm, with a guess in mind, Lu Wu directly asked the question.

"Mm!"

Seeing Lin Jianying nod, Lu Wu couldn't help but inhale sharply.

"Dammit, it is at the Elite Level; no wonder that girl is so arrogant, even claiming she's got Quan City's provincial competition spot in the bag.

But that's not right, isn't it said that you can only have a Summoned Beast after turning eighteen?

It hasn't been that long since she got her Summoned Beast, has it? How has it already reached Elite Level?

Also, how did you train this goblin? How did it get to three stars in just two months?

What's your level in your class?"

The questions Lu Wu asked were strictly forbidden to be disclosed by the advanced class.

In theory, Lin Jianying shouldn't answer.

But he still did.

"As for our class president's Summoned Beast, it's said that its initial quality had already reached the Bronze Level or above.

Add to that Mr. Ye's assistance, and her family's willingness to invest resources, reaching the Elite Level in a few months isn't difficult."

"The reason my goblin reached three stars is that we spent the past month and a half training in the Secret Realm.

Also, Mr. Ye helped me devise a cultivation plan for the goblin, and I've been strictly following her plan for the past two months."

"As for power, my goblin's strength should currently be in the top ten in our class."

Hearing all this, Lu Wu was dumbfounded on the spot.

He had previously thought the average standard of the advanced class should be similar to Zhang Yunkai.

He hadn't expected their strength to be this formidable; no wonder that girl with the long legs dared to claim she was going to monopolize the provincial competition spots for Quan City.

It turns out the advanced class, or rather Ye Qingxue, really had something special.

It also made him understand why the headmaster of Third High was so obsequious in front of Ye Qingxue.

But immediately after, Lu Wu felt puzzled again.

Ye Qingxue was so capable, clearly not an ordinary person, probably a Big Shot; why would someone like her choose to teach in a small place like Quan City?

And why put so much effort into cultivating the advanced class? What did she really want to achieve?

Intuition told him there must be something there.

But then he thought, whatever it was, it didn't really matter to him.

Why Ye Qingxue came to Quan City wasn't important to him; what was important was that with such a formidable roadblock in front of him, it appeared to be quite difficult for him to enter the provincial competition.

Could it really be necessary to take the college entrance exams in another city?

This thought flashed through Lu Wu's mind, but he quickly snuffed it out.

He was a man of broad mind.

Whether his face got slapped wasn't important; what mattered was that he liked to take the college entrance exams in Quan City.

Then Lu Wu had another brief chat with Lin Jianying and, after obtaining the goblin cultivation method from Mr. Ye, prepared to head home with Little Skeleton to write in his diary.

On Lin Jianying's side.

Watching Lu Wu, carrying stuff and leaving, and looking at the drink stuffed in his arms that Lu Wu said was to treat him, his mood involuntarily lifted.

At that time, another visitor arrived at Lu Wu's house...
