After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer - Chapter 77: 76: Can You Withstand It?

Chapter 77: Chapter 76: Can You Withstand It?

Ten minutes later, Kuang Shiyi stepped out of the office, his expression solemn, as he pulled out a lighter and lit a cigarette from his pocket.

He waved at Chen Xing who was standing in the distance.

After saying a word to Zhou Hao and Wang Bing, Chen Xing ran toward Coach Kuang.

“Tomorrow morning our opponent is Guanghu Number One Middle School. Guanghu Number One Middle School has a team configuration similar to ours, with 3+1, three once-evolved Beast Tamings paired with one mature Beast Taming that is close to evolving,” said Kuang Shiyi.

“Tian Xuechuan’s Beast Taming was seriously injured this time and needs a day of treatment in the hospital before it can recover. Can you fill in? You don’t need to defeat the opponent, only… just need to tie up their Beast Taming for ten minutes, preventing it from joining the battles of the other three.”

“Coach, what is the Energy Level of the Beast Taming I need to hold off?” Chen Xing asked.

Kuang Shiyi replied, “An N36 Nine-Aspect Deer Hound, Energy Level thirty-five.”

“I know it’s a lot of pressure for you, but your Beast Taming has a strong physique, so if it’s just about holding on, ten minutes should be no problem.”

Kuang Shiyi rubbed his brow; he was in the midst of devising tactics to have the other three teammates break through within ten minutes, establishing an advantage.

Energy Level thirty-five… Chen Xing pondered, just ten levels higher than Taotie.

Indeed, today Taotie had just broken through to Energy Level twenty-five, awakening its fifth skill.

The Primary Skill: Rapid Collision.

Originally, Chen Xing planned to train this skill in a mini-game after school today, conveniently called “Bumper Balls,” which required Taotie to use the Rapid Collision skill to accurately hit ping-pong balls over a distance of thirty meters.

But if Taotie had to go into battle early tomorrow, a Primary Displacement Skill would be limited in effectiveness.

Both the Proficiency Level of the skill itself, as well as his familiarity with the skill, were limited.

So…

Chen Xing nodded, his voice firm. “I can hold.”

“Good,” Kuang Shiyi, not being a man who liked to waste words, paused and then added, “Just do your best, don’t feel pressured, just play normally.”

“Teacher, I’ll go train now.”

Only after Chen Xing walked away did Kuang Shiyi look into the distance, cursing, “Damn these bastards, resorting to underhanded tactics.”

Today their opponents were a team with only once-evolved Beast Tamings.

For them, victory was surely in their grasp.

But to their surprise, during a critical moment in the battle, the opponent’s only once-evolved Sparrow-tailed Winged Mantis suddenly lashed out, attacking Tian Xuechuan’s Ghost-faced Mastiff.

Caught off guard, the Ghost-faced Mastiff was seriously injured.

After being taken to the hospital, the doctors diagnosed that due to prolonged overtraining, the Ghost-faced Mastiff had accumulated many hidden injuries inside its body.

This severe injury caused all the internal hidden injuries to flare up, so the Ghost-faced Mastiff needed an extended period of rest and recovery.

Normally, in matches where there is a clear difference in strength, both sides usually have an unspoken agreement to hold back.

Kuang Shiyi and his team had not gone all out.

On one hand, it was for the sake of the competition’s entertainment value.

On the other hand, it was also to give colleagues face.

But unexpectedly, today’s opponents disregarded the ethics of martial arts, and he suspected it might be related to tomorrow’s opponents from Guanghu Number One Middle School.

However, there was no proof for such an accusation.

…

Back in the dorm, Chen Xing contacted his mentor, Han Yuning.

“Instructor, I want to consult you. At what Energy Level can Beast Tamings fully unleash an Advanced Skill?” Chen Xing inquired.

Han Yuning was probably playing with her phone; her reply came almost instantly, “Energy Level twenty-five.”

Following the message above, another message quickly popped up.

“But Energy Level twenty-five is just barely sufficient to cast it, and the Beast Taming’s Magic Power would be almost depleted after casting, so generally, it is only at Energy Level thirty-five and above that one tries to master Advanced Skills.”

Energy Level twenty-five… Chen Xing contemplated.

But he replied to Instructor Han nonetheless, “Thank you, Instructor! I appreciate the help.”

Yu Ning: “You’re welcome! Do you have any advanced skills in mind? If you’re considering any advanced skills, you can contact me. I can basically get my hands on any advanced skill orb on the market.”

Yu Ning: (panda with arms crossed)

Chen Xing: How about Deluge?

Yu Ning: Good choice! This area skill is very suitable for your Beast Taming! Do you need a Deluge skill orb? If you do, I can mail some to you.”

As expected of the wealthy mentor, casually offering to mail some advanced skill orbs.

Rare primary skill orbs can sell for one hundred thousand each.

The price of intermediate skill orbs can rise tenfold on that basis.

The price of advanced skill orbs is even more expensive, especially for rare area skills like Deluge.

They might not even be available on the market for twenty million.

Chen Xing wanted to refuse, but hesitated when the words reached his lips.

Because he didn’t know if just one advanced skill orb would be enough to successfully inherit the skill.

He had heard that it was a bit of a mystical process…

If it failed, that would be awkward.

Chen Xing: “Instructor, can it be shipped today?”

Yu Ning: Do you need it urgently?

Chen Xing: A little urgent… Instructor, let’s treat the money for the advanced skill orbs as a loan from you, and I’ll pay you back once I earn some money.”

Yu Ning: It’s small change, no need to mention it. But if you need it today… just a moment, let me ask.

After a while, Yu Ning replied: If you need it today, I can only arrange it from the local Jincheng stock. I just asked, and there are only three Deluge skill orbs in the Jincheng auction house and exchange. I’ve placed an order for all three. They’ll be delivered to your location in a while, and I’ve also placed an order for a skill forgetting crystal.”

Chen Xing didn’t expect the instructor to act so quickly and be so proactive…

He replied gratefully: Thank you, instructor!

Yu Ning: Stop saying thank you all the time, it makes things feel distant. Alright, good luck with the competition tomorrow! I’ll be watching the TV broadcast! Don’t embarrass me, my girlfriends all know I’ve taken a little apprentice. (crooked smile)

Chen Xing was stunned; how did Instructor Han know he was going to compete tomorrow?

Looking at the somewhat goofy image on the screen, Chen Xing thought for a moment, then plucked up the courage to send back an emoticon (heart with hands).

The message dropped into the sea without a trace; there was no reply from the other side.

…

The sound of wings flapping came from the sky.

Chen Xing looked up, and against the sunlight, a huge flying bird descended from the sky and landed on the school’s open space.

A man in an exquisite suit with white gloves jumped down from the bird’s back, “Excuse me, are you Mister Chen Xing?”

The man asked while looking at Chen Xing.

“Yes, that’s me.”

“Please verify your identity, Mister Chen.” The man in the suit took out a fingerprint device from his pocket.

Chen Xing pressed his finger on the device, it beeped and lit up with green light.

“These are the items you ordered for express delivery; please check them.”

The man in the suit took out a delicate gift box from his chest and handed it to Chen Xing.

Chen Xing opened the gift box to find three skill orbs that looked exactly like the Deluge skill orbs he had acquired in the Secret Realm.

The three transparent orbs had a tiny Deluge pattern inside, which radiated glaze-like colors in the sunlight.

Next to the three skill orbs was a yellow skill forgetting crystal.

After handing over the items, the man jumped onto the broad back of the blue and white bird, which soared into the sky and became a speck in the distance.

Chen Xing looked at the three advanced skill orbs in his hand, his heart surging with emotion.

He didn’t know if Taotie could handle it.

But he knew for sure that Deluge would be a huge surprise for his opponents tomorrow!
