After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chapter 107: Chapter 98 Skill Test

“My good boy really saved me a ton of money! The Awakening Skill awakened is the most expensive one.”

Chen Xing felt both happy and worried; the skill was not bad.

It was powerful, had great range for relocation, and was speedy—after all, it was an Advanced Skill.

The downside was its exaggerated Magic Power consumption. He already had one massive flood, and now he had Deep Sea Assault to boot.

He wondered if his total Magic Power was sufficient. He couldn’t exactly go into every battle with a mouthful of spicy dried fish snacks.

Once he had consumed the explosive lemon fried chicken, increasing his Magic Power limit tenfold, the Magic Power cost of these Advanced Skills would not seem so exaggerated in comparison to his total Magic Power.

Buying a Skill Orb for this skill would have cost at least tens of millions, so awakening this skill had saved him a good ten million or more.

There was no need for the internet; Chen Xing could recite the effects and stats of this skill by heart.

After all, it was Taotie’s only high-level skill that could be self-awakened.

Advanced Skill [Deep Sea Assault]

Activation condition: The user must be in water at the beginning.

Effect: The user will instantly transform into a surging current, crossing the battlefield at high speed, inflicting massive damage on enemies in its path. During the skill’s duration, its power will continuously expand until it reaches its peak at the endpoint.

Range: Dependent on the degree of Magic Power consumed.

Eager to test the new skill, but the park was too small, Chen Xing worried that a single use of Deep Sea Assault would destroy most of the greenery there.

It was a shame that the items his mentor had given him were now useless. Just recently, his mentor had sent him a safe containing ten Skill Orbs.

Perhaps worried about Chen Xing’s bad luck, his mentor had sent ten Tide Surge Transit Skill Orbs at once.

Tide Surge Transit was merely a lower-tier version of Deep Sea Assault, just an Intermediate Skill.

But it consumed much less Magic Power, making it more suitable as a regular relocation skill.

The next day, Chen Xing went for the usual team practice at school like always.

Chen Xing was chatting with Tian Xuechuan when Tong Xuhua joined in. After some small talk, he asked Chen Xing, “Term’s end is coming up. Do you have any plans for the winter break?”

“Winter break? I’m planning on taking a trip to Cangwu.” Chen Xing thought about it; in two weeks, winter break would start. Based on the current pace, Taotie would definitely reach the necessary level for evolution during the break.

It would be perfect to go to Cangwu during winter break to let Taotie complete its rare evolution.

After Taotie’s evolution, he would become an Intermediate Beast Tamer and then study the Defensive Secret Technique and sign a contract with Sìxiàng.

All three things could be conveniently done simultaneously.

After winter break, the College Cup wouldn’t be far off.

“I see…” Tong Xuhua seemed lost in thought.

“What’s up?”

“Nothing. I was just wondering if you’d be interested in a mountain climbing event after winter break starts,” Tong Xuhua said.

“What’s a mountain climbing event?”

“It’s an activity organized by the local youth, mainly for expanding social networks. It includes many boys and girls of the same age and many participants are the children of local wealthy merchants and officials,” Tong Xuhua stated.

Chen Xing shook his head; he wasn’t very interested in such social activities.

“I might not have time then because I’m not sure how long I’ll need to stay in Cangwu.” Chen Xing politely declined the invitation. After all, forcing his way into a different social circle made no sense.

He was also busy, aiming for the College Cup and frantically brushing up on knowledge in all areas.

Not only was he training in Beast Taming, but he was also studying on his own.

When Tong Xuhua heard that Chen Xing wouldn’t participate, he seemed a bit disappointed.

After Tong Xuhua left, Tian Xuechuan then said, “Old Tong invited you to the mountain climbing event, and you’re not going? You might catch a few rich ladies’ eyes and save yourself years of struggle.”

“Aren’t you going?” Chen Xing asked Tian Xuechuan.

Tian Xuechuan replied leisurely, “I’m not interested in such events, plus I’ve already got someone I like! What would I do at a place like that?”

He then pretended to sigh, “Ah, Old Tong is great in many ways, but he’s not a pure love warrior like me.”

Chen Xing inquired, “Has Brother Tong been in many relationships?”

“Don’t know, but as far as I’m aware, he’s switched girlfriends a few times,” Tian Xuechuan stopped, feeling it was improper to gossip about someone else’s private life.

Suddenly, Tian Xuechuan said with a grin, “Actually, the mountain climbing event is organized by several large local enterprises, which specifically target talents like you for investment.”

“Not just money, they give everything, because after a certain point, money is just numbers. It’s better to gain talents’ favor, and when the talent grows, the return on investment eclipses any other,” Tian Xuechuan explained.

“Does your family invest too?”

“Of course, why not? But I don’t really pay attention to those trivial matters.”

While they were chatting, Wu Ju came out from the training field, with a towel hanging around his neck.

Seeing Wu Ju, Tian Xuechuan immediately stood up and ran over earnestly, “Little Ju, tired from training? Let me get you a soda.”

Chen Xing shook his head at the scene and went to find the coach in the office, knocking on the door.

“Come in.”

Pushing the door open, Chen Xing saw Kuang Shiyi feeding the Beast Tamer.

The Blaze Stinger Bee chewed leisurely on a piece of jerky.

On seeing Chen Xing, the Blaze Stinger Bee gave a greeting.

Buzzzzzz~

(Want some?)

“I don’t want any, but thank you,” Chen Xing said with a smile as he waved his hand.

“Watching you interact with the Beast Tamer, it’s almost like you understand what they’re saying,” Kuang Shiyi said teasingly, “You here for something?”
