Qinglan Advanced Beast Taming Academy's Secret Realm Summer Camp?
Liu Yi remembered now. The requirement for applying to Qinglan Advanced Beast Taming Academy was to participate in their Secret Realm Summer Camp and complete the tasks, or to rank in the top twenty of the Longwu High School Entrance Tournament.
【Yi: Are you planning to apply to Qinglan Advanced Beast Taming Academy?】
Just as Liu Yi sent the reply, Baili Jinxuan’s messages popped up with a series of dings.
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Nope! My family already decided on Yunhai International Beast Taming Academy for me.】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Besides, there's no rule saying you have to apply to their academy just because you joined their summer camp!】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Lots of people wait until after the Longwu High School Entrance Tournament to decide which high school to go to!】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Plus, there are rewards for participating in the Secret Realm! I’ll send you the registration link. Go check it out!】
Liu Yi clicked the link Baili Jinxuan sent, and the official website for Qinglan Advanced Beast Taming Academy opened.
On the promotional poster for the Secret Realm Summer Camp, a majestic Storm Eagle soared with its wings spread wide against a backdrop of lush forests and numerous wild pets.
It looked like an actual photo taken inside the Secret Realm.
【Secret Realm Summer Camp】
【Registration Requirements: Trainee Beast Tamers aged 15-16】
【Registration Period: July 23rd - July 29th】
【Event Dates: July 30th - August 5th】
【Event Rewards: Participants may keep any materials and resources obtained within the Secret Realm.】
Liu Yi’s finger slid gently across the screen, her gaze lingering on the rewards line.
As everyone knew, Secret Realms were famous for being treasure troves of rare resources.
The Secret Realm used for this summer camp was a low-level Secret Realm owned by Qinglan Advanced Beast Taming Academy, specifically opened for Trainee Beast Tamers.
While its level was relatively low, its safety rating was exceptionally high. This meant participants could explore in a relatively safe environment without worrying too much about their well-being.
Furthermore, the academy had long since established a cooperative relationship with the wild pets inside, ensuring they wouldn't pose a threat to the trainees.
Just as Baili Jinxuan said, even if she didn't intend to apply to Qinglan, she could still take Ziyue to this summer camp for some experience.
Ziyue suddenly poked her head out from Liu Yi’s arms, her eyes fixed on the poster on the screen.
Liu Yi rubbed Ziyue’s fluffy ears and explained,
“I’m planning to sign up for this Secret Realm Summer Camp. There are unique resources there, and we might get to battle wild pets. It’s a good training opportunity for Trainee Beast Tamers and should help us get stronger.”
At the words “battle” and “get stronger,” Ziyue’s eyes lit up. She nudged Liu Yi’s finger with her wet nose and let out a cry.
“Bing bing!”
If it makes us stronger, let’s go!
Liu Yi smiled, clicked the registration form on the website, filled in her details, and submitted it.
Then she sent a message to Baili Jinxuan.
【Yi: Ziyue and I have decided to go. I’ve already submitted the registration form.】
The reply came back almost instantly.
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: Awesome! ヾ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: I signed up too! We can go together then!】
【The Beautiful Master of Cute Shadow: See you at the training hall tomorrow! Goodnight, xoxo (づ￣ 3￣)づ】
...
July 29th, afternoon, training hall.
Over the past week, Liu Yi had continued Ziyue’s practical combat training at various halls while also browsing the Beast Tamer Forum for posts like 《Personal Secret Realm Exploration Log》 to see if there was anything useful to learn.
For today’s training, Liu Yi had only scheduled a morning session.
Right now, in the afternoon, Ziyue was practicing her skills on her own. Once she hit the two-hour mark, Liu Yi planned to end the session early.
After all, they were leaving for the Secret Realm tomorrow. She needed to go home early to pack and get some rest.
Nearby, Baili Jinxuan was also working hard to supervise the Phantom Cat’s skill practice.
It was obvious that the Phantom Cat had become much more proficient with Illusion Claw; it could now launch attacks from different angles using its main body and its clones.
“Xuan and Shadow have never stuck to a training plan for this long before,” Yu Qianfan said, standing behind them while the Crystal Jellyfish floated gently by her side.
“That’s because we have a goal now!” Baili Jinxuan said with a giggle.
“When there’s a Trainee Beast Tamer as strong as Liu Yi among your peers, it’s hard not to want to catch up.”
Is one week considered “long”? Just how inconsistent were Baili Jinxuan and the Phantom Cat’s previous training sessions...?
Liu Yi thought to herself, checking the time without changing her expression.
“Let’s call it a day,” Liu Yi said, putting away her phone and calling Ziyue back.
Hearing the call, Ziyue finished her Ice Blade with a graceful spin and leaped lightly onto Liu Yi’s shoulder.
After saying goodbye to Baili Jinxuan and Yu Qianfan, Liu Yi took Ziyue home to pack for the trip.
...
The next morning, the plaza in front of the Secret Realm was crowded with people.
Baili Jinxuan was wearing a sun shirt, busy applying pet-specific sunscreen to the Phantom Cat.
Liu Yi walked over and looked amusedly at the Phantom Cat, who looked like it had given up on life because of the stuff being rubbed on it.
“Bing bing?”
Seeing the cat’s state, Ziyue let out a concerned cry.
Are you okay?
“Phantom...”
The Phantom Cat waved its front right paw and let out a helpless cry, signaling that it was already done and there was no point in asking...
The teenagers gathered in the plaza seemed very excited, with groups of friends chatting in low voices.
“My first time in a Secret Realm, I’m so hyped!”
“Me too, me too! I almost couldn't sleep last night!”
“I wonder if the wild pets inside will attack us?”
“Even if they do, it should just be part of the trial. This is a Secret Realm for rookie Trainee Beast Tamers; they won't let us be in any real danger!”
“Quiet, everyone!”
A middle-aged woman in a cream-colored suit, holding a megaphone, stepped onto the high platform. A blue badge was pinned to her chest.
It was the badge of an Advanced Beast Tamer.
A Storm Eagle perched on her shoulder, its sharp gaze scanning the crowd.
Once the crowd quieted down, she spoke again.
“I am Luo Xia, the person in charge of this Secret Realm Summer Camp for Qinglan Advanced Beast Taming Academy.”
“I will now announce the precautions. Please listen carefully.”
