Chapter 262: Chapter 224 Spicy Red Oil Dried Tofu
Chi Ziyao looked at the ancestor with a distant gaze, "That's not what you said yesterday."
Chi De spoke, "At this stage, it's already quite good. Not many can surpass his Beast Taming."
At the same time, a hint of doubt arose in Chi De's heart. The crocodile's size was excessively huge, having already surpassed some limit.
Beast Tamers with creatures of such a size did exist, especially after Fleshly Transcendence. Following deeper levels of Transcendence, some Beast Tamers' creatures grew larger and larger.
But this one hadn't undergone Transcendence yet, and it was already so exaggerated. What would happen once it transcended?
Although it might be difficult to reach the Mountain Range Level of the Cave King, the chance to evolve beyond the ordinary Beast Taming creatures and become a Mountain Level Behemoth was not nonexistent.
After the defeat, Sun Xing recalled his beast and went to find a specialized Pet Nutritionist to treat his creature's injuries.
Despite the defeat concluding too swiftly for him to fully grasp it, Sun Xing quickly adjusted his mindset.
Although he lost, there was still time.
As long as he could get his beast to swiftly recover from its injuries, there was no lack of opportunity to contest for other Resource Points.
However, on his way to find the Healing Beast Tamer, thinking of Chen Xing's overly young face, Sun Xing felt a tinge of loss in his heart.
After ending the fight, Chen Xing, led by a notary official, went through the relevant procedures. His name was swiftly updated in the backend, securing him as the new defender of the Resource Point.
As long as he successfully defended his position for the next week, he would hold the operating rights for this Resource Point for the next five years. Moreover, he could only carry out normal operations and mining, without resorting to overexploitation that exhausted the resources of the mines.
Official personnel would conduct regular inspections, and if any rule violations were found, the Resource Point would be retracted.
In the next week, if someone challenged the arena, he would receive advance notice and had to arrive at the arena within the stipulated time to defend his position.
After defending the arena, there would be a fifteen-minute rest period...
The staff patiently explained the rules to Chen Xing.
"Thank you." After completing the procedures, Chen Xing successfully transferred the position of the defending champion to himself.
Leaving the hall, a familiar figure was waving outside.
"Chi Ziyao?" Chen Xing was somewhat surprised. Chi Ziyao had actually also gotten into Jiuzhou University.
But thinking of her background, Chen Xing wasn't very surprised anymore.
"I owe you one for what happened in the Illusion Realm of the college entrance exam. I just saw you competing for the Resource Point. You're amazing," Chi Ziyao pursed her lips and gave a thumbs up.
The first time she had met Chen Xing was inside the Secret Realm Inheritance Tower, where Chen Xing had cleared a higher level than her, but it was still within her comprehension.
The second encounter was during the Shu State Cup, where he competed as a first-year student in a major event primarily for third-year students, and he even secured a victory.
The third meeting happened at the collegiate cup, where he led his team to win the collegiate cup championship. At that time, it started to feel strange; no one at his age in their first year could lead a team to the finals of a collegiate cup.
Having the experience of winning the collegiate cup, she was not so surprised when she later learned that Chen Xing won the championship in the college entrance exam; it was somewhat anticipated.
Including hearing about Chen Xing winning the championship in the Qinghai competition, she simply smiled. The Qinghai competition was just a global event for those under eighteen. With his capability, winning the championship was normal.
Even when she saw Chen Xing's name on top of the Jiuzhou University division of the Inheritance Tower yesterday, since she hadn't challenged the tower herself and had no actual feel for its difficulty, she vaguely felt that he had accomplished something remarkable.
Only upon witnessing Chen Xing's Beast Taming in action today did she suddenly realize; the gap between them was growing ever wider, until it seemed out of reach.
Maybe the opponents he was contending with were no longer his peers but rather the older, seasoned Beast Tamers.
"It was alright," Chen Xing didn't know how to continue the conversation. Denying would seem too insincere; admitting it seemed arrogant. After thinking for a while, he simply opted for, "Have you guys eaten yet?"
```
"Pfft~" Chi Ziyao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Not yet, shall we go eat together?"
Chi De coughed, when we came earlier, didn't we have breakfast? How come you haven't eaten again.
The three of them found a small noodle restaurant in the mountain city. Chi Ziyao curiously asked, "How long have you been here? Have you registered yet? I didn't see your name checked on the registration form."
"I've been here for a while, just haven't remembered to go register." Chen Xing said, and suddenly noticed a small detail in Chi Ziyao's words.
"Registration form... Are you in the same class as me?" Chen Xing was shocked.
Chi Ziyao's face turned red with embarrassment and annoyance, "What's that look for? I got in through the back door, okay?"
Chi Ziyao also knew that her grades definitely weren't high enough to be placed in the best class; she didn't know beforehand and only realized after the school started that she had been put into class one.
"Right, I heard there will be military training after school starts. Are you prepared?"
"I've heard about it, but I don't know what the military training will involve." Chen Xing shook his head. He didn't know what to expect from the military training.
Chi Ziyao smiled mysteriously, "I've got a little inside information. The military training is supposedly an outdoor expedition. All freshmen from the four schools will participate, grouped by class, crossing a thousand miles of wilderness."
Is that so...
Chen Xing thoughtfully responded, "Sounds interesting, but the wilderness must have monsters, right?"
"Of course, otherwise crossing a thousand miles would not be challenging without them. Riding a Beast Taming, it would only take a few days to reach the end point," Chi Ziyao nodded.
"Then that's really generous."
"Here comes the noodles~"
The boss lady brought over a big steaming bowl of hot beef noodles topped with some cilantro and placed it on the table.
After eating, Chi Ziyao asked Chen Xing, "Do you have anything else in the next few days?"
Chen Xing nodded, "There's a bit to do. In a few days, I also have to compete for a Resource Point."
"You're going to compete!" Chi Ziyao was surprised. The giant crocodile earlier was Chen Xing's first Beast Taming, right? She didn't expect his second Beast Taming was already at a level that could participate in competing for Resource Points.
Beast Taming is being cultivated so fast.
"Let me know when the time comes, I'll come to the scene to cheer you on."
"Alright," Chen Xing nodded politely.
Chi Ziyao continued to watch his retreating figure even after Chen Xing had walked away.
Chi De waved his hand in front of Chi Ziyao's face, "Stop looking, he's already far away."
"Old Ancestor, his second Beast Taming is already competing for Resource Points," Chi Ziyao remarked with emotion. "I'm not sure if he can win."
"It's hard to say, usually the second one is weaker than the first, but... if the second Beast Taming can improve at the same rate as the first one did, it's not impossible."
...
After leaving, Chen Xing returned to his residence.
After accumulating Skill Points from the Twin-fiend Dogs for two days, he finally gathered a total of 500 Skill Points.
Chen Xing decisively activated the bottom skill of the Pet Nutritionist—[Spicy Oil Bean Curd]
[Spicy Oil Bean Curd]The devil's spicy bean curd, every consumption is a test of willpower! Long-term consumption can temper the force of will and it's also a test for the stomach. Please note! Although the food is good, eat in moderation. (500/500) (Activated)
