Chapter 38: Chapter 38: From Today Onwards, You Are a Rare Individual
“`
Chen Xing looked up relevant information online, and indeed, he managed to find something useful.
In the world of Beast Taming, there are some special individuals that are naturally different from their kin, either being significantly larger or smaller than their peers, some with an extra pair of wings, others with three or four hearts, and yet others with fur of a different color.
However, due to their exceedingly rare numbers, few people are aware of them.
Chen Xing clapped his fist into his palm, great! From today onwards, Taotie, you’re officially a rare individual with gigantism.
He didn’t expect everyone to believe it, but there needed to be a plausible reason on the surface.
After all, Taotie would become just that when it grew up.
Instead of deliberately suppressing the growth of his Beast Taming creature due to fear of suspicion, it was better to cultivate it into a massive beast while others were still unaware.
Chen Xing had now decided there was no need to erase the Grand Vortex Skill and start training from the Primary Skill level.
After all, there were mini-games to increase the Skill Proficiency.
When it’s time to switch from the Primary Skill to the Intermediate Skill, one would have to start from scratch anyway.
He would find a reason to sell these Skill Orbs and Skill Forgetting Crystals later.
The issue that Teacher Kuang was worried about, Taotie’s low Energy Level and insufficient Magic Power within its body, was actually easy to resolve.
Just focus on raising Taotie’s Energy Level quickly!
It’s better to create sources than to plug holes.
During the daytime, Chen Xing continued to engage Taotie in mini-games and routine training.
Over the course of the day, he had increased the Grand Vortex Skill Proficiency by 2 points; together with yesterday’s point, only 7 points were needed to raise the Proficiency to Mastered.
Today, Taotie actually attempted the Grand Vortex three times, but there was one attempt at deploying the Skill that failed!
At the entry Proficiency Level, releasing Skills isn’t 100% successful.
The success rate is around 70%, and one can only guarantee precise Skill deployment each time once it is mastered proficiently.
…
In the new district of Jincheng, Xintian Middle School team.
A large bird, pitch-black all over with rigid black feathers like metal pieces, folded its wings like swords and pierced through four wooden targets in consecutive thrusts.
“Good!” The coach of Xintian Middle School applauded with approval.
“Weixin, you performed very well!” Mu Xikai clenched his fist, not skimping on his praise.
Zheng Weixin’s face flushed red, embarrassed by the public praise and excited by the encouragement. “Teacher, is its performance really that good?”
Mu Xikai continued to bolster him: “Don’t sell yourself short. Although your Beast Taming creature is not top-notch in Energy Level and physical conditioning compared to others, it’s already very good against peers of the same age. Besides, physical conditioning is just one aspect. If combat were only about physical conditioning, why would we train fighting techniques? We could just compare the sizes of the Beast Taming creatures directly.”
“Your Beast Taming creature has a natural talent for combat training, akin to a born fighter. I’m looking forward to it shining in the battle two weeks from now, fighting for your own honor.” Mu Xikai looked into Zheng Weixin’s eyes seriously. “Your Beast Taming creature is also a flyer, air against ground, the advantage is yours.”
Hearing Teacher Mu’s analysis, Zheng Weixin couldn’t help but clench his fists.
He thought of Azure Dragon Middle School. Why should that rundown place get a spot, and moreover, after his departure, they intentionally created three new spots just to mock him!
Heh, if there were extra spots available, why not offer them from the start? Why wait until after he had left to mention them.
When a person’s heart is filled with resentment and prejudice, they cannot hear other voices.
He would magnify every flaw endlessly under a magnifying glass.
Fortunately, he had met the responsible Teacher Mu. Under his guidance, the combat power of his Beast Taming creature had steadily increased.
With this thought, Zheng Weixin’s gaze turned icy. Heh, just wait. He was determined to discipline Chen Xing’s Beast Taming creature mercilessly in front of everyone, decisively defeating it before a crowd!
“`
Let everyone know that Xue Jinbao was wrong from the start!
Two weeks, only two more weeks!
Heh, just wait, Chen Xing, these are your last two weeks of peace.
In two weeks, you will become the laughingstock of the entire school! Not just the school, the whole of the new district will know that I, Zheng Weixin, am the strongest genius of the freshman year in the new district!
Even though it wasn’t two weeks yet, the scenarios Zheng Weixin imagined in his mind made him shiver with excitement uncontrollably.
…
As soon as Chen Xing got home, he saw his older sister sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, watching him with a smug look on her face.
Not seeing the surprise or excitement she expected on her brother’s face, Chen Lingya couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Chen Lingya asked, “Didn’t you notice something different?”
“I did, Chi Yu has evolved,” Cheng Xing excitedly ran towards Chi Yu, who was sitting in the corner of the wall.
After evolving, Chi Yu’s fur now had some ice-blue strands.
Its ears had grown larger, but the fluff on them had also become thicker.
Its pure silver eyes were cold and immaculate, and its size had increased by more than a circle from before.
Its body length had reached 3.1 meters, and including its tail, it would be 4.5 meters long.
[Species]Holy Spirit Snow Leopard (Chi Yu)
[State]Healthy
[Attribute]Ice
[Energy Level]41.3
[Energy Level Limit]71
[Body Length]3.1m
[Weight]310kg
[Skills]
Primary Skill: Frost Spike (Proficient), Shadow Assault (Perfect), Frost Claw (Perfect)
Intermediate Skill: Snowfall Cascade (Perfect), Soul-capturing Fear (Proficient)
Advanced Skill: Blue Hell (Mastered)
Innate Skill: Traceless Snow Step (Active) (Perfect)
Passive Skill: Child of the Great Snow
Looking at this attribute panel made Chen Xing envious, and within such a short time, Chi Yu had actually perfected the proficiency of an intermediate skill.
Not bad at all! It truly deserved to be the little guy he had watched grow up.
Now with its size, it should be called the big guy instead.
After feeding it a strip of jerky and obtaining a Skill Point Fragment from Chi Yu, Chen Xing asked, “Where’s the little snail? You didn’t lose it while you were out, did you?”
“It’s sleeping in the room. Speaking of which, I have you to thank for this time. I consulted the principal, and after a thorough check, the principal confirmed that the little snail is a marrow-eating evil snail and it must be a rare mutated individual with another kind of mysterious power in its bloodline,” Chen Lingya said with an intrigued look at her brother. If she hadn’t seen him grow up from childhood, she would have doubted if he had been replaced by someone else.
This time, even the principal acknowledged that he had misjudged at the beginning. Out of apology, he even gave the little snail a piece of wood, claiming that it would be quite beneficial for it.
Ever since getting the piece of wood, the little snail clung to it every day, sleeping on it, even eating while on it, and wouldn’t move a step away. They still didn’t know what was so alluring about this piece of wood.
