Dark Crow is a curse pet beast, and it doesn't need much combat experience. It just needs to hone its curse, and the rest isn't important.

Who has ever heard of a Curse Master rolling up their sleeves for a fistfight?

As for the Mechanical Pupil, it hasn't even geared up yet, so what's the point of fighting? Once geared, it's like a turtle, nobody can budge it, rendering combat unnecessary. And for the Mechanical Pupil to attack others, it has an attack targeting system.

The Mechanical Pupil's path is that of a statistical monster.

A basic attack is enough.

The student council is quite impressive. The treatment and benefits within are unparalleled among the school's clubs. Many people rack their brains to get in, but rumors say that the atmosphere isn't great and it favors those with a background, which is unfriendly to civilian Beast Masters.

Senior Sister leaned in and whispered, "The advisor of the Demon Association used to be the principal."

Li Cunxu was surprised to hear this; the principal is no ordinary person, and his actions must be analyzed frame by frame.

"Used to be? Why isn't he anymore?"

"He was too biased. At its peak, the Demon Association overshadowed the student council and the Combat Club."

Senior Sister continued, "Joining the Demon Association gets you a thousand credit points."

Li Cunxu's eyes lit up, "Gosh! Why say so much? If you'd mentioned this earlier, I'd have agreed immediately."

He just happens to be in need of those credits.

"I agree to join the Demon Association."

Once she got what she wanted, Senior Sister seemed indifferent and even disdainful.

"You're so tacky, bowing down for five bushels of rice—where's that genius nonchalance of talents in the Demon Association?"

Senior Sister quickly pulled out an application form and filled out Li Cunxu's details.

"All done, just need a fingerprint to join."

Li Cunxu obliged.

"That's it? I'm in?"

"Yes, indeed."

"No initiation ceremony?"

To join the Combat Club, you have to engage in a Beast Master battle, with ten senior members observing, and you need the approval of at least five.

"No, we don't do that kind of formal ritual," said Senior Sister. "Don't think that because it's easy to join, the Demon Association has low standards. Its entry bar is extremely high. Including you, there are only fifty-eight members now."

With a thousand credits just for joining, yet the Demon Association only recruited fifty-eight people, the bar is indeed high.

What Li Cunxu didn't know is that the Demon Association has so few members because the student council is suppressing it.

Many people capable of meeting the threshold to join the Demon Association were snatched away by the student council.

The student council specifically targets the Demon Association, poaching new members immediately, which leads some aspiring to join the student council to put on a show for the Demon Association, hoping to get invited and then jump ship to the student council.

Li Cunxu asked, "By the way, may I know Senior Sister's name?"

Senior Sister adjusted her glasses, "I'm Mu Qingyan; just call me Senior Sister Mu. Besides that, I'm also the vice president of the Demon Association."

"Senior Sister Mu, have I seen you somewhere before? You look familiar."

Li Cunxu scrutinized Mu Qingyan up and down.

The familiarity doesn't stem from a past life, but recent events.

Mu Qingyan gave a charming smile.

"Junior Brother, that's a very cliché way to hit on someone. Next, are you going to ask for my 'Pet Trust' number?"

"I won't."

"Junior Brother, are you sure? Without adding me, I can't send you the one thousand credits for joining, nor add you to the Demon Association's group."

Pet Trust is linked to the school's account and can also receive credit points.

After adding Pet Trust, Mu Qingyan immediately sent the club's location and one thousand credits.

"Room 102, Building C is the location of the Demon Association. Feel free to visit there for fun."

"Alright."

Li Cunxu continued selecting a suitable secret realm from various strategy guides.

He finally chose the Bronze-White Jade Secret Realm, which contains the jade stones needed for Golden Jade Gourd's Golden Jade Liquid.

The White Jade Secret Realm is rich in jade, and even the pet beasts inside are related to jade.

The difficulty rating for the White Jade Secret Realm is 9.7, just 0.1 lower than the 9.8-rated Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm.

The intelligence on the White Jade Secret Realm contains strategies on how to conquer it.

You just need to find the mutated White Jade Golem in the realm, kill it, and you can obtain the realm core from its belly.

"White Jade Golem, these pet beasts love silence just like a stone. During battle, as long as you don't hit a nearby companion, they won't wake up to help, so the White Jade Golem often fights alone. Logically, this realm should be easy to conquer. So why hasn't anyone done it? Is it a newly discovered realm that not many know about yet?"

Li Cunxu saw that the White Jade Secret Realm has existed for ten years.

"That can't be right. It's just a mutated White Jade Golem. How has it been left unconquered for ten years?"

Also, this secret realm can accommodate a team of up to ten people.

Looking further, the information requires a fee.

Now having credits, Li Cunxu checked.

[The mutated White Jade Golem has magic-resistant skin, immune to spiritual energy attack damage below Silver, while Silver and above spiritual energy attacks are reduced.

The mutated White Jade Golem's strength is immense, comparable to pet beasts skilled in strength at Silver's peak.

It possesses two recovery skills: Jade Swallow Healing and Jade Swallow Energy Restoration. After getting injured, swallowing a few jade stones can recover its wounds and spiritual energy.]

"This mutated White Jade Golem has such high potential. At the Bronze level, it already has the combat power of a Silver peak, and it can both fight and heal, stumping a heap of strategists at Divine University."

Li Cunxu redeemed a chance to conquer the White Jade Secret Realm.

The White Jade Secret Realm is also a rich realm.

In its valley, the ground is embedded with white jade, emerald, ink jade...

Jade seems to be the most common and worthless item in this realm.

"With such high value, anyone who enters this realm would be tempted."

The valley also contains large lumps of jade, which are White Jade Golems. They curl up into round lumps to sleep, and as long as you don't attack them, you can even sit on them without issue.

"The intelligence said that the mutated White Jade Golem is ten times larger than a regular White Jade Golem. There's none here."

"None here either."

Li Cunxu moved to the next valley.

"It's here."

In a picturesque valley, a gigantic mutated White Jade Golem sat in the riverbed, with no other White Jade Golems or even their remains around.

"The absence of normal White Jade Golem's body remnants and battle scars indicates that this valley lacks normal White Jade Golems. It's not due to school conquerors wiping them out."

"If not school's conquerors causing this valley to lack White Jade Golems, then there's only one possibility: it was driven away by the mutated White Jade Golem."

"Driving away its companions and claiming this as its territory, I've never seen a territorial White Jade Golem before."

The little white spider interjected, "Could it be that the White Jade Golems look down on the mutated one and moved away?"

"Unlikely. The larger the White Jade Golem, the more it's favored by its companions."

"Xiaoruan, Fireball, wake it up."

A mighty fireball fell, yet the mutated White Jade Golem didn't even stir.

"The mutated White Jade Golem is an earth-type pet beast. Wood overcomes earth. Xiaoruan, use the Cyan Lotus Sword Blade on it."
