After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer - Chapter 71: 70: Inheritance Tower (Part 1)

Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Inheritance Tower (Part 1)

Dark clouds hung low, and on either side of the road, bizarre trees gnarled with branches like claws.

Occasionally, fleeting figures could be glimpsed within the forest.

The monsters of the Secret Realm dared only to peek from afar, not brave enough to approach this formidable convoy.

Half an hour later, the convoy arrived at its destination, stopping in an open area.

Chen Xing disembarked from the vehicle and witnessed a scene that shook him.

Around the site, Earth Attribute Beast Tamers bustled about like a busy construction crew, dust swirling as trenches and mud walls were erected at a speed visible to the naked eye. The muddy yellow buildings expanded outward around the central area where an ancient, humble tower stood.

Earth Attribute Beast Tamers were exceedingly convenient for construction work.

The air was filled with the scent of dust.

Many students around were stunned, uttering exclamations of amazement.

For many of them, this was their first time witnessing such a scene.

Chen Xing suddenly understood where the man-made traces within Ze City Secret Realm came from.

With this Earth Attribute Beast Taming construction crew, the terrain was like a pliable toy in their hands.

The thick-browed officer who had led the students here looked around at the gathered students and said in a resonant voice, “The Inheritance Tower in the Secret Realm can accommodate a hundred people at a time, just fitting your numbers.”

“Once the Inheritance Tower is activated, it will need half a year to recharge for the next activation. Since this is the tower’s first activation, no one is clear about what type of challenges lie within.”

The officer’s gaze was piercing, “So, you need to gather as much information as possible. As the first group to enter this Inheritance Tower, I can responsibly tell you that you will be the first batch of students to go in once it opens!”

“No one knows what treasures the inheritance holds within.”

“All the gains you make inside will be yours to keep! Great Xia will not claim a single bit.”

“This is the privilege for you as the first batch of challengers to the Inheritance Tower!”

“I also hope that you will be able to advance to higher levels and acquire more information. The richer the information, the more generous the additional rewards from Great Xia will be!”

“Go now!”

After listening, Chen Xing managed to discern one thing.

That was, the rewards inside the Inheritance Tower would all be theirs, and on top of that, with more information gathered, they could obtain additional rewards from Great Xia.

Well… it just wasn’t clear what he meant by information.

If given the chance, it wasn’t something he couldn’t try.

He never thought one could have too many rewards.

Hanging on the exterior of the first floor of the Inheritance Tower was a vertical signboard.

The signboard bore ten names in rows.

One, Di Qiu

Two, Qiu Shang

Three, Bai Xieyu

…

Ten, Lan Qin

It seemed these were the historical record holders of the top ten in this Inheritance Tower.

The tower, originating from the Exotic Region’s Dream City, was a significant force even within that alien city.

Everyone whose name was inscribed on the tower was truly a genius of Dream City.

Chen Xing was curious, wondering whether he could have a chance to break into the top ten if he gave it a try.

A strange ripple spread over the surface of the simple seven-story tower; the next moment, the closed doors slowly opened.

“You may enter now, everyone… best of luck!” said the officer, hands clasped behind his back, speaking calmly to the crowd.

Chen Xing strode into the interior of the Inheritance Tower.

As he passed through the tower, the scenery around him changed. In a daze, it seemed as if a massive city appeared before him.

The city walls stood as tall as mountains, majestic and towering. The clouds in the sky seemed within reach.

On the city walls, there were giant openings from which clouds were emitted, as though a mist of iridescent, dreamlike essence flowed from within.

Mingling with the surroundings, it formed a vibrant tapestry of clouds that floated around the exterior of the walls.

Chen Xing wanted to keep looking, but in the next moment, the scenery abruptly changed. The floor felt cold underfoot, and a spacious hall lay before his eyes.

All that had just occurred seemed like nothing more than an illusion.

Across the hall, a phantom figure began to condense from nothing into existence.

Chen Xing’s heart settled slightly, knowing that, according to statistics, there’s a 50% chance the Great Xia Inheritance Tower would be a challenge-type tower.

Before coming, he and his coach had also practiced; if it was a challenge-type, it would be most advantageous for him.

Nothing else, but his peer Beast Taming strength was strong indeed.

According to Kuang Shiyi’s words, your crocodile is getting more and more freakishly huge.

Over seven meters in body length, weighing more than two tons.

Merely its physical body could crush any Beast Taming under thirty energy levels.

Among beasts younger than a year, your Beast Taming’s growth is also extremely rare.

Chen Xing’s birthday is in June every year, meaning he could still participate in the next Inheritance Tower in half a year’s time.

The phantom figure solidified, and it was a… miniature mountain boar elephant.

A grown mountain boar elephant would be about five meters long, but this one was just over two meters long, with a bodyweight of around 300kg.

The shape of a pig, with an elephant’s trunk, two massive tusks, and a fierce look in its eyes.

Seeing Chen Xing, it charged straight at him, ignoring Taotie, which was in front of Chen Xing.

Chen Xing narrowed his eyes at the mountain boar elephant before him.

[Species]Mountain Boar Elephant

[State]Hallucination, Rage

[Attribute]Earth

[Energy Level]18

[Energy Level Limit]40

[Skills]

Primary Skills: Earth Wave (mastered), Earthquake (mastered), Spiked Mud Shield (mastered)

Well, with those attributes, I’m afraid half the players could be eliminated in the first round.

This mountain boar elephant, aside from the unreasonable skill combination, which should be skills awakened naturally,

has other solid stats which could completely dominate those high school first-year Beast Taming students.

Furthermore, affected by hallucination, the mountain boar elephant has lost its fear, no wonder it was unfazed by the sight of Taotie.

Because any normal creature would find it very difficult to override its instincts and charge head-on at a stronger opponent—unless it has eyes like a goose.

Taotie stood upright, its crocodilian snout lifted, revealing a fierce grin.

The body slightly angled, and in the instant the mountain boar elephant charged, its massive tail swept across!

Bang!!!

Comparatively slender to its bulky and rounded body, the mountain boar elephant’s limbs were struck squarely.

The two front legs twisted grotesquely, breaking upon impact!

The mountain boar elephant let out a wretched scream.

It fell to the ground with a clatter.

Taotie quickly pounced, biting its head.

The huge crocodilian jaws perfectly enveloped its head.

Death—roll!

No exaggerated sound effects, no shocking noises.

As light as plucking a hair, effortless.

Just two rotations and the mountain boar elephant’s head was separated from its body, a column of blood spurting from its neck.

In an instant, the mountain boar elephant became a headless mountain boar elephant.

Outside, around the Inheritance Tower, barely three minutes had passed.

The doors opened, a flash of white light, and a throng of students appeared, pressing closely together.

These young men and women, with palpitations, confusion, and fear on their faces, stood outside the Inheritance Tower, not yet recovered from the terror brought by the mountain boar elephant.

Someone stepped forward to tally and record the students’ names.

Soon, the results were out, number of people eliminated in the first round: 82!
