After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chapter 46: Chapter 45 Duel_2

“`

Seeing the miserable state of the teammate’s Beast Taming, the originally restrained parties seemed to have completely unleashed their true fervor.

In the end, Azure Dragon No.8 High School secured victory with two members sustaining serious injuries and two with minor injuries.

When No.8 High School clinched the win, cheers merged into one continuous roar from both sides of the spectator stands, echoing thunderously within the half-enclosed indoor stadium,

At the end of the battle, No.8 High School’s medical team immediately entered the field to start healing the Beast Taming creatures from both sides.

Beast Taming creatures are tenacious in life, and with the effect of healing skills, as long as they do not die on the spot, most injuries of this level can quickly be nursed back to health.

“The fight was a bit bloody, but the battles between Beast Taming creatures are inherently cruel.” In a secluded corner of the gymnasium, Xue Jinbao and Director Sun stood in the corner, with other teachers tactfully giving them space.

“Principal, I’ve heard rumors that the higher-ups are considering reforms?” Director Sun asked the principal.

“That has nothing to do with us, we’re just a high school; the twelve-year compulsory education is the backbone of the nation, nobody will touch that.” Xue Jinbao cast a meaningful glance at Director Sun.

Director Sun gave a sheepish smile and wisely shut up.

Talking about reform is easy, but actually implementing it is far from simple.

Throughout history, which reform hasn’t faced tremendous resistance? Everyone knows that reforms can strengthen national power, but reforms will inevitably harm the interests of those with vested benefits. Touching on interests will provoke conflicts, which is unavoidable.

Observing from the vantage point of history, one can see things clearly, but those living in the present are caught in the thick of history’s web. Being part of this world, it’s not so easy to extricate oneself.

In fact, while it may not be evident among the students, the higher echelons of Great Xia’s officialdom have recently been turbulent, especially since that one high-ranking official proposed the new law, provoking fierce opposition from many influential families.

Xue Jinbao narrowed his eyes; he had no interest in factional struggles or legal reforms.

He only wanted to be a good principal and develop Azure Dragon No.8 High School into the best high school in Jincheng.

“Principal, the official team members’ trials have ended; next should be the match between Chen Xing and Zheng Weixin.” Director Sun changed the subject, knowing that the principal had taken time out to watch this match specifically.

“Mm.” Xue Jinbao looked towards the direction of the No.8 High School team, especially at the tall, slender boy in the team, expecting a fair bit from him.

According to Kuang Shiyi’s teaching logs, Chen Xing’s Beast Taming was progressing rapidly.

Especially in terms of size, he even mentioned a remarkable growth.

Xue Jinbao wanted to see for himself how much the Salty Bay Crocodile, belonging to Chen Xing, had grown, something Kuang Shiyi said would surprise him.

Heh, I, Xue Jinbao, have been a principal for ten years, after all; there’s no Beast Taming creature I haven’t seen.

“Both sides are using only one beast that has evolved once, that’s all No.8 High School has this year?” disappointed, Pei Lingmin spoke from the spectator’s stand, having thought that No.8 High School might be a strong opponent.

Is this it?

In a 4V4 team battle, as long as they can hold off that one evolved beast and then quickly defeat the other three members, they can swiftly claim victory.

Even if their Energy Levels are the same, once a Beast Taming creature has evolved, its physical body and the upper limit of its Magic Power undergo a sort of purifying, making its overall strength superior to a creature that hasn’t evolved.

Ruan Jun said with a grin, “Looks like No.8 High School has fallen behind; they’re probably just top sixteen material this year.”

“Right, wasn’t there talk about No.8 High School and Xintian Middle School each having a reserve coming for the ‘Grudge Match’? Is that up next then?” Ruan Jun tiptoed, looking into the distance.

…

Although Xintian Middle School lost the match, Mu Xikai’s face didn’t show much emotion.

He looked across the freshly fought battleground at Kuang Shiyi from a distance.

“Many schools probably think that we in Xintian only have one beast that has evolved once this year, right? Is everything ready?” Mu Xikai revealed a smile.

“Don’t worry, coach, all the materials for evolution are prepared.” He Liang let out a long sigh of relief. His beast hadn’t gone all out in the battle against the opponent, and although it was injured, it was only a minor injury. It would recover in a couple of days, preserving its state for the upcoming evolution.

The short-haired girl next to him gratefully said, “Coach, I’ve also got the last treasured material I needed.”

Her beast’s evolution required three treasured materials, and the school had helped her collect the two hardest-to-find ones.

Mu Xikai nodded; with two beasts evolving, they were bound to successfully evolve at least once, and if they were lucky, both might evolve.

If anyone in the upcoming Shu State Cup thought they only had one beast that has evolved once, they better be prepared to take a major fall.

“`

It was a pity that they were just a bit short; if they could ensure having four beasts that had evolved once, they probably would have had a chance to fight for the top four.

The teams that make it to the final four in the Shu State Cup every year are basically all teams with beasts that have evolved once.

Mu Xikai’s expression became serious, “Zheng Weixin, it’s your turn now.”

“Don’t worry, Coach!” Zheng Weixin took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly.

For this battle, he had made all sorts of preparations in advance, whether it was tactical planning or skill training.

“Go!”

…

Kuang Shiyi gently pushed Chen Xing’s back, “Come to think of it, this is your first public fight, isn’t it? It’s also a chance for you to gain some experience. You need a strong heart to fight; training every day isn’t enough.”

A thunderous cheer erupted from both sides of the gymnasium, and figures with arms raised began to stand up. The passionate atmosphere caused Chen Xing’s blood to flow faster, and his brain even experienced a brief moment of slight hypoxia.

For some reason, faced with the attention of countless people, Chen Xing’s legs didn’t go weak; instead, he felt an impulse to jump in and try his hand at it.

A smile spread across his face involuntarily.

He lowered his head, spread the fingers of his palm, and the summoning array’s patterns shimmered between his lines, giving him a glimpse of the Taotie lying in the Beast Taming Space.

Its dark scales were cold and deep, its bone spines eerily aligned.

Suddenly, his body shuddered, and the eyelids that were tightly closed flipped open. The dark and deep eyes stared straight ahead, his body tensed, his head slightly raised, entering a hunting posture.

A deep and low roar emanated from its throat.

Unlike the obedient and cute demeanor it usually had around Chen Xing, the Taotie’s eyes now held a cold and icy chill. This was the gaze of a predator from the natural world.

“Our hearts are in sync; do you feel my emotions too? Then, join me,” Chen Xing murmured to himself, and in the next moment, he raised his head to look toward Zheng Weixin, a hundred meters away.

Zheng Weixin suddenly swung his hand, and the dazzling Array of Light surged, revealing a figure with its wings held high, emerging from it.

“Screech!”

The silhouette soared into the sky and circled overhead.

This was an Iron Feather Fighting Hawk, its wingspan stretching to 1.2 meters, its hawkish eyes locked on the ground below.

“Iron Feather Fighting Hawk,” Xue Jinbao muttered from a distance, a complex look in his eyes. The beast had originally been brought in by him for his school, intended to be the ace for a contest three years later. Unexpectedly, it had become an opponent against his own school.

On the empty ground, Chen Xing probably wouldn’t have an easy time… No… What is that!?

Xue Jinbao’s pupils suddenly widened.

The exclamations from the stands turned even more frenzied.

“Two months? You’re telling me this is two months?!”

“Fuck, what is that thing!”

Especially the freshmen, many of whom stood up in fright, some leaning over the railing, sticking their heads out.

In a corner, a man with glasses was recording with his phone, a look of surprise in his eyes as he saw the Taotie that had been summoned.

On the other side of the field, the Array of Light gradually faded, revealing a cold giant crocodile over five and a half meters in length slowly stretching its limbs. Its long and enormous tail swept behind it, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the crocodile raised its head, its black eyes greedily scanning the Iron Feather Fighting Hawk soaring above.

Zheng Weixin’s command to attack got stuck in his throat, “Atta…”

“Atta…”

He opened his mouth several times, but the rest of his words just couldn’t make it out.

The Taotie took heavy, slow steps toward the nearby pool.

Zheng Weixin finally snapped back to reality; so what if it’s big? Size alone doesn’t guarantee victory!
