After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

After leaving the Han Family, Han Yuning personally escorted Chen Xing back.

Chen Xing sat in the car, watching the retreating scenery outside the window.

The mentor sitting to his left said, "Uncle Liu's Beast Taming was quite famous back in the days; he actually fought on the battlefield. There are three beasts in this litter he is tending to, and if my father steps in, we should be able to secure a slot."

"I appreciate your help, mentor."

Han Yuning smiled, "Your second Imperial Beast is not one of my Han Family's dragons, but the third one must be. Otherwise, people might think the Han Family doesn't have a dragon to spare."

"I've never thought of it that way."

"Even if you don't think so, it doesn't mean others won't. But you need to work hard to advance your Imperial Beast to its second evolution soon, so you can become a Senior Beast Tamer and sign with your third beast."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Xing's expression turned bitter.

"What's the matter? Any difficulty?" At this point, Han Yuning suddenly thought of Chen Xing's two Imperial Beasts.

One undergoing rare evolution, one a unique species out of the laboratory; moreover, it seemed to have a not-so-low bloodline potential.

The evolution of these two Imperial Beasts did not seem to be an easy task.

"Your two Imperial Beasts..." Han Yuning said with a laugh that contained a bit of helplessness; evolving either one twice didn't seem to be an easy task.

She then said somberly, "Do you know why many people do not choose Imperial Beasts with particularly high initial bloodlines for their first one?"

"To make evolution easier?"

"Right, after an Imperial Beast evolves once, you can sign a second beast and become an Intermediate Beast Tamer; when any beast evolves a second time, you can sign a third beast and become a Senior Beast Tamer," Han Yuning explained.

"This is also why many people, including scions of large Noble Families, do not choose beasts with particularly high bloodlines for their first beast."

"For Imperial Beasts with a particularly high bloodline level, the difficulty of evolving is also very high, and some beasts are born with a full Energy Level of one hundred."

"This can indefinitely postpone the Beast Tamer's learning of the first secret technique."

"So, many people will generally choose an easily evolving monster for their first Imperial Beast."

Chen Xing's eyes flickered with understanding; there was this reason as well.

"However, your case is special. Your Salty Bay Crocodile has the opportunity to choose rare evolution, and you must seize this chance to choose rare evolution. In terms of both potential and combat power, it is much stronger than a normal evolution."

"As for your second Imperial Beast... having seen its current performance, I think it deserves this place, but it's a brand-new species, which means you need to research its evolutionary path on your own. Do you understand this concept?"

"I understand."

"Well, it's not too difficult to research new beast evolutionary paths; the hard part is finding a potential and suitable evolutionary path," Han Yuning said.

"If it's just for the sake of evolution, there are actually many simple methods.

But if you evolve using those methods, the bloodline of the Imperial Beast will barely improve, and the enhancement to combat power is negligible. This would only waste the beast's potential," she continued.

Pausing for a moment, Han Yuning continued, "Apart from evolving an Imperial Beast twice, there's actually another way you can sign with a third Imperial Beast."

"Please tell me, mentor."

"Your Imperial Beast's Energy Level reaches one hundred.

As long as the Energy Level reaches the hundred-level limit, you can sign a third beast."

Chen Xing pondered; this condition sounded difficult, but it was not simple at all.

"Don't worry, even if you can't sign a third Imperial Beast, when the cub is born, you can raise it by your side.

Many large Noble Families do this, raising several reserve Imperial Beasts early on to build a bond, and then directly sign the contract when they meet the conditions.

What they have in abundance are beasts, and they can choose which one to sign based on the conditions when needed," Han Yuning reassured him.

Chen Xing fell silent, realizing that this was the real play of the wealthy.

"Just focus on your competition and don't overthink. Even if there is a war, it won't involve you.

Great Xia is not so weak as to require students like you on the battlefield," Han Yuning advised before getting off the car.

Back at Dragon Pavilion Residence, with the first day of competition over,

the vast dwelling had become a lot emptier, with many teams eliminated leaving Dragon Pavilion Residence.

However, they did not return home; many teams moved to a new residence to observe the upcoming matches of other teams.

Lying in bed, Chen Xing sent a message to his sister to ask about the competition results.

To his surprise, his sister responded with a video call.

After connecting, the background looked like a restaurant outside.

It sounded busy, with many people around.

Chen Lingya asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"Yes, I have."

"Up for some barbecue?"

"Can you bring some back for me? I want a skewer of grilled sweet potato, two skewers of grilled rice cake, three skewers..."

Chen Lingya interrupted him, "Stop listing dishes. If you want to eat, come over yourself; I'll send you the address."

"Never mind then, I'm already lying down," Chen Xing shook his head. Having just been out once, he wasn't about to go out again.

"There's a great beauty here," Chen Lingya mentioned from her side.

Chen Xing, expressionless, responded with an indifferent "Oh."

So what if there's a beauty? Women, apart from being able to affect the speed of my beast cultivation, what else can they do?

I'm already so tired from cultivating beasts every day, I have no spare energy to think about other things.

"Could there be anyone more beautiful than you, my sister? I don't believe it," Chen Xing replied calmly.

The perfect answer brought forth a surprised "yo" from another girl over the phone.

Chen Lingya replied irritably, "Forget it, send me what you want to eat, and I'll bring it back for you later."

Yet after hanging up, his chilly lips curled up slightly.

"Isn't your brother coming?" Wan Ning asked from beside Chen Lingya.

"He's not willing to come, let it be," Chen Lingya said offhandedly.

Wan Ning's eyes darted, "Alright, but do you think it's possible your team and your brother's team will clash later on? Like during the Shu State Cup."

Chen Lingya narrowed her eyes, "Are you investigating me?"

Wan Ning spread his hands, "Such obvious information can't be considered investigating."

Chen Lingya was silent for a moment before speaking indifferently, "I don't know, but as long as we make it to the finals, we'll definitely clash in the end."

"Damn, Queen, you really are confident," Wan Ning expressed his admiration, "Do you know how difficult it is to get into the finals this year?"

"We in Guandong Excellence can't say for sure we'll make it to the finals. There are several freaks this year. From what I understand, there's more than one person above Energy Level fifty-five."

"How many exactly?"

"Not sure, don't look at me like that, I really don't know. This is all top secret stuff that others keep close to their chest, but I can guarantee there are definitely no fewer than three people!

And as to the exact Energy Levels, I'm also unclear. There might be some old sixth players hiding their true capabilities.

Some people are so sneaky, they have strong abilities but keep them hidden, utterly despicable.

If it were last year or the year before, an Energy Level of fifty-five could lock down the championship with a high probability, but this year the competition is fierce."

After listening to Wan Ning, Chen Lingya seemed contemplative.

But even if it's Energy Level fifty-five, so what?

Energy Level is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat.

The two chatted about different teams while eating barbecue. After finishing, Chen Lingya picked up her packed barbecue and left.

"You're just leaving? Didn't you say you'd go play in the arcade with me later?" Wan Ning went from surprise to shock. Could it be you called me here just to dig up information?

"I don't play video games, I promise next time," Chen Lingya said before turning around and walking away.

Watching Chen Lingya's retreating figure, despite being a woman herself, Wan Ning felt a sense of having been taken advantage of.

...

"Your barbecue," Chen Lingya announced, holding the barbecue outside Chen Xing's courtyard.

"Thanks, my beautiful and kind sister," Chen Xing cheerily accepted the barbecue.

"Also, I've gathered some information, I'll send it to your phone later. After eating, get to bed early and don't stay up late," Chen Lingya said before her tall figure disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Shortly after returning to his room, his phone vibrated, and a document came through.

Chen Xing received the document on his phone and found it contained details on this year's high school cup teams.

Next to each team, there was a noted degree of danger.

Some teams even had brackets indicating suspected Energy Levels.

One could tell that the document was meticulously crafted.

Chen Xing was moved, truly my own sister!

Later, Chen Lingya sent another message. Some of the contents could be shared with teammates and the coach according to the draw, but it was better not to disclose everything in the document to them.

Some of the information was semi-secret; if it were widely distributed, it might cause undesirable effects.

Chen Xing replied with an ok gesture, indicating he understood.

After finishing the barbecue, he threw the box into the trash.

He then took out a prepared pack of food for intermediate carnivorous pets from his luggage.

He'd hardly brought any clothes, instead, he had packed mostly meat.

Chen Xing went to the backyard of the courtyard, where there was a relatively large bamboo grove.

There was no one around at this time, and the chilling night wind made the eerie bamboo grove rustle softly.

Chen Xing called out Taotie, and the bamboo grove seemed to quiet down a lot.

The rustling of the bamboo leaves even started to sound pleasant.

Taotie whined like a several-hundred-ton baby.

It complained that it didn't want to be kept in a dark room every day, too boring.

Chen Xing spread his arms apologetically and hugged half of its snout, "As soon as I find a temporary way to shrink you, you can stay with me again, don't worry, it won't be too long.

After this competition, I'll buy a big house in the suburbs, with a garden, with a pond, so you can come out regularly, is that okay?"

At those words, Taotie was about to happily hop around.

"No jumping, no jumping," Chen Xing quickly stopped it.

If it hopped with its few hundred tons, the residents nearby might wonder if there was an earthquake.

"Aow!" Taotie raised its head arrogantly.

(`へ´*)ノ

It exclaimed defiantly, why so fierce if no jumping is allowed!

"I'm not being fierce with you," Chen Xing said, both amused and frustrated.

"Aow?" You keep me in a dark room all the time, and now I'm not allowed to jump; I've noted it all down in my little book!

"You'll have your chance to jump later on. Do you remember the heavy stomp we practiced? Go wild then," Chen Xing said with a smile.

Beast Taming isn't just about cold tools; beasts have their own emotions.

Especially pets raised from infancy; seeing Taotie looking so aggrieved, Chen Xing also felt unhappy deep down.

"Here, have today's meal. Eat and grow taller," he said.

"Aow aow!" (I'm already tall)

"Then just a little taller, so I can have a broader view when I ride you," he coaxed.

"Aow aow aow~" (Only for master to ride)

Under the tranquil night sky, the young man sat atop the forty-meter-long giant crocodile, which closed its eyes and strolled beside the bamboo grove contentedly. The two of them, one person and one crocodile, formed a serene and harmonious picture.
