Chapter 68: Chapter 67 Thin and Crispy Lemon Juicy Fried Chicken
“After conducting a training session on Beast Taming, Intimacy reached 100, and I obtained 5 Skill Point Fragments.”
Chen Xing converted the Skill Point Fragments into Skill Points, and his accumulated Skill Points finally reached 10.
He decisively activated the Squid Seafood Canning Skill.
“You have mastered the method to make Squid Seafood Cans, and the ones you produce by hand will have the magical effect of restoring stamina.”
After absorbing the knowledge, Chen Xing narrowed his eyes, indeed, it was just as he had guessed.
The Squid Seafood Cans are similar to Spicy Fish Jerky.
The restorative effect of the finished product depends on the Energy Level of the ingredients themselves. The higher the Energy Level of the ingredients, the more pronounced the stamina restoration effect of the finished product.
The main ingredient of Squid Seafood Cans is squid, with other seafood used as secondary materials.
Once the Squid Seafood Canning skill was activated, a new grey skill also emerged beneath it.
“Thin Crispy Black Pepper Burst-Juice Lemon Fried Chicken”
Chen Xing was beyond complaining about the name.
Does a longer name mean it’s more impressive?
After looking at its effects, Chen Xing admitted that the food with the long name did indeed have something special.
[Thin Crispy Black Pepper Burst-Juice Lemon Fried Chicken]: Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, this pepper fried chicken sprinkled with a layer of lemon is fragrant and cuts through the grease. Beasts that regularly consume this delicacy will have their Magic Power limit increased to ten times the base. (0/100)
The limit of Magic Power becomes ten times the original?
At a glance, the effect didn’t seem significant, but if Magic Power truly increased to ten times, he could squander his skills more liberally, and the margin for error would be higher.
Chen Xing couldn’t help but compare this to the effects of Creamy Steak.
Could it be that one corresponds to Fleshly Transcendence, while the other corresponds to Magic Transcendence?
Then is there a corresponding food for Soul Transcendence?
If so… following the distribution pattern of the Skill Tree, the most likely spot would be on another branch next to the vegetarian pet food.
But that would also only provide an improvement in the soul aspect. What could the remaining position be?
If this indeed represents a direction of Transcendence…
Could it be that beyond these three paths of Transcendence there are other directions?
Chen Xing speculated in his heart.
…
“The Shu State Cup is coming up soon, and our school has gathered information about this year’s competition through various channels.”
At this point, Kuang Shiyi regretfully glanced at Chen Xing, wishing he had been born just one batch earlier.
This year’s Shu State Cup would have definitely been Chen Xing’s stage to shine.
Unfortunately, time waits for no one.
The next University Cup too, which is in March next year, with just four months left.
How much further could Chen Xing’s Beast Taming advance in four months?
You have to understand, the higher the Energy Level, the harder it is to improve it.
But there will definitely be opportunities next year.
This year’s batch… well, let them fire the first shot.
“There are seventeen teams you should watch out for.”
“…”
“???”
Chen Xing’s mouth twitched; there are seventeen teams worth watching?
Wow, turns out they’re all worthy opponents.
Cough.
Kuang Shiyi coughed.
What can you do, the Shu State Cup encompasses the whole of Shu State.
Just the state capital, Jincheng, has twelve districts.
Not to mention there are other prefecture-level cities in Shu State.
“Forget it, I’ll show you the written materials.” Kuang Shiyi pulled out a stack of documents and handed them to everyone.
Chen Xing took them and quickly went through the information.
He found that the ones worth their attention were basically the top schools from each district.
Basically, most districts have one transcendent and several strong.
In some sense, the distribution of educational resources is quite even.
It’s worth mentioning that there are three schools with the name Azure Dragon at the top of this list.
Azure Dragon No. 1 High School, Azure Dragon No. 2 High School, Azure Dragon No. 7 High School, and their Azure Dragon No. 8 High School.
From Azure Dragon No. 1 High School to Azure Dragon No. 8 High School in Jincheng, they are known as the “Eight Azure Dragons.”
Even the other schools not listed are among the top-ranking ones in their respective districts and counties.
Compared to Chen Xing, the faces of the other four seniors who are truly participating in the competition visibly tensed.
This year is really… a battle of gods!
Six of the teams each have four fully staffed Beast Tamers with once-evolved creatures.
Their dream of making it to the top four could almost be declared shattered in advance.
Unless all six teams have a car crash and three teams are eliminated early.
Otherwise, lacking a once-evolved Beast Taming creature is the biggest flaw in a team.
Tian Xuechuan’s face turned green.
The pressure landed on him.
But he couldn’t evolve his Beast Taming creature in such a short period.
“Teacher, why not… find someone from the senior year to replace me?” Tian Xuechuan hesitated for a moment before speaking up.
“Aside from those three, there are no other evolved Beast Taming students in the grade, and the others with top-notch Beast Taming Levels are about the same as yours, some even lower. You have cooperated with your teammate for so long, a temporary switch wouldn’t have the same level of understanding,” Kuang Shiyi frowned, “Just because of this bit of pressure, you want to give up?”
Tian Xuechuan fell silent, having worked so hard for so long just for this competition, he certainly didn’t want to give up, but he didn’t want to be a burden to his teammates.
Even less did he want to see his long-time teammates fail because of him.
The thought of that scene made Tian Xuechuan’s limbs go weak…
At this thought, Tian Xuechuan gave a self-deprecating smile, maybe he’s the ‘jelly-legged shrimp’ they speak of in the competitions.
…
The official competition doesn’t have much to do with Chen Xing.
He’s just a benchwarmer there for show.
Better to just focus on training his Beast Taming creature.
If it were the junior cup, he wouldn’t mind beating down the little ones.
But this is the senior group, two years older than him.
Wait a few more months and then go beat them up.
Next to the swimming pool, Chen Xing threw the tennis ball into the water.
The shadow of Taotie flickered above the water’s surface.
It dived underwater.
Chen Xing had discovered a bug in this little game. Although Taotie’s Energy Level increased and its Skills range grew wider,
the pool’s area was limited, hence indirectly restricting the Skills’ range and making it easier to find the ball within the game’s range.
Moreover, the pool wasn’t deep, and as Taotie grew in size, it could almost find the tennis ball just by lowering its head, which greatly increased training efficiency.
Zhou Hao, on the other hand, was joyfully training his Beast Taming creature.
Taotie’s Great Vortex was a “special environment” for his Beast Taming creature, conveniently acting as a toughening effect.
With the almost non-stop training of Taotie, Zhou Hao could only marvel at Chen Xing’s generosity.
Releasing an Intermediate Skill this frequently, how many Magic Power recovery capsules must he consume in a day.
However, he also heard some rumors, that Chen Xing had taken leave a while ago to visit Cangwu.
He didn’t need to investigate to know which families were in Cangwu, as his Beast Taming creature was also a Salty Bay Crocodile, and he was well aware that the main base of their nemesis lay in Cangwu.
But he couldn’t even envy that.
Just like his family background was inherent, Chen Xing’s Beast Taming creature was favored by that family due to his talent.
Presumably, the resources consumed by Chen Xing’s Beast Taming practice were provided by them.
Though his own family had money, it was only relative to ordinary people.
Compared to a large family of their size, his family was no different from being poor.
A few days passed.
Chen Xing watched as Taotie’s Great Vortex Skill’s Proficiency Level soared from expert all the way up to 1000/1000! Becoming his first skill to achieve perfect Proficiency Level mastery!
