Chapitre 10: Chapter 10 Leap Forward

Early the next morning, Sister headed off to the supermarket and bought thirty pounds of fresh meat as well as the corresponding vegetables.

The total cost of these meat and vegetables was at least a thousand bucks. I'd heard that private high school scholarships were quite substantial, and looking at this, she really did seem like a little rich girl. No wonder she never needed to ask her family for living expenses.

Chen Lingya said, "Save a portion for Chi Yu after you're done cooking today, but you don't need to save any after that since it won't be convenient to eat at school."

Private high schools were different from public ones; there were no free Beast Taming lunches on weekends. Students had to sort it out themselves at home.

In fact, very few students in private high schools would bring their beasts to the cafeteria, most would bring their meals from home.

In the evening, Chen Lingya looked at Chi Yu, instructing it to stand properly and let her examine it closely.

"I feel like you've gotten a bit bigger."

Chen Lingya held her chin with one hand, furrowing her brows in thought.

"I haven't fed you any supplements recently. It's just..."

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and her expression shifted, becoming somewhat strange.

It couldn't really be...

...

Chen Xing carefully measured the body length, which had grown by 9.7 cm since yesterday. The daily growth rate was very significant, roughly equivalent to five days of normal development.

If you looked at it daily, it might not seem so obvious, but a sudden growth of one-sixth in body length was definitely striking. Its 72.3 cm body length now possessed a certain deterrent power; it could easily scare a kindergarten child if seen on the street.

When Monday came and they returned to school, there were only seven days left until the exams, marking the final week.

During class, Wang Qiming, sitting diagonally behind Chen Xing, frequently glanced at the Beast Taming creature on Chen Xing's desk.

Taotie lay across the desk with closed eyes, its head and tail almost reaching from one end to the other.

Chen Xing's textbook was placed on Taotie's back, where the uneven crocodile scales provided a perfect non-slip stand.

"How did it get so big?"

Wang Qiming lowered his head to compare his own beast, which not only extended to the other end of his desk but even had its tail slightly hanging over.

But that was a precise comparison. At a casual glance, his beast only seemed a bit smaller than Chen Xing's.

One's own failures were scary enough, but the success of a classmate was even more heart-wrenching.

Suddenly, Wang Qiming felt a sense of urgency. Could it be that he was about to be surpassed?

"Damn, Brother Chen, did your beast take steroids or something?"

After class, Zou Minghan couldn't help but gesture as he turned to glance once more at Wang Qiming's beast behind him.

Wang Qiming: ???

Why are you looking at my beast?

Zou Minghan said, "Seems about the same size."

Wang Qiming's face darkened.

"Uh, no wait, Wang Qiming's seems a bit bigger," Zou Minghan noticed that Wang Qiming's beast's tail was sticking out beyond the desk, while Chen Xing's was not.

"But Chen Xing's seems thicker." Zou Minghan observed that despite Wang Qiming's beast being longer, Chen Xing's appeared more robust with glossy crocodile scales.

Sitting in the front row, Li Zhixuan couldn't resist turning around. She wanted to see what outrageous remarks Zou Minghan was making.

Turning to see Chen Xing's beast, Li Zhixuan was taken aback, surprise filling her eyes. This beast looked spirited, and its proportions seemed quite good.

Her family ran a Beast Taming product store, which specialized in selling products related to beast taming.

Having been exposed to such knowledge since childhood, she understood a lot about the subject.

She knew that judging whether a beast was good involved more than just length; body length was not the sole criterion. If it was long but as skinny as a stick, then it was just a skinny hound.

Beast Taming not only requires larger bodies but also sturdier ones. Coordinated body proportions are the best.

The Beast Tamer that Chen Xing has looks to have good body proportions, it's been well-cultivated—I wonder what he's been feeding it.

However, Chen Xing's attention wasn't focused there for the moment. Instead, he was concentrating on the new Skills appearing in the Stone Booklet.

He had thought that he needed to activate another basic herbivore pet food Skill before he could unlock subsequent Skills, but to his surprise, after lighting up the basic carnivore pet food Skill, the branch's subsequent Skills had already been unlocked.

After the activation of the basic carnivore pet food, two new gray Skills waiting to be activated extended from below.

[Large Can of Pet Carnivore Freeze-Dried Food]You have learned to make crisp, delicious freeze-dried food. The temptation of gourmet food is irresistible—it can make your pet more obedient and improve your interactive play together. (0/8)

[Intermediate Carnivore Pet Food Crafting]You have learned to make extremely nutritious pet food that can help your pet grow healthily in various aspects. Prolonged feeding may optimize their bloodline to some extent. (0/10)

Although the prices of the subsequent Skills soared, looking more expensive.

But just from the introduction alone, it is definitely worth the price. The introduction for Intermediate Carnivore Pet Food went from rich in nutrients to extremely rich in nutrients, and it mentioned it could lead to comprehensive healthy growth for pets—what exactly does 'various aspects' refer to? And it also mentioned that prolonged use may somewhat optimize bloodlines.

You know, even among the same Beast Tamer, there's a difference in quality, just like humans. All are humans, yet some are born with stronger athletic genes, some with higher natural intelligence.

But Chen Xing had never heard of a tool that could check the bloodlines of a Beast Tamer, and the aptitude of a Beast Tamer is mostly judged based on the Quality of its Awakening Skills. However, there are rare cases where one can tell at first sight that the aptitude is extraordinary, like looking thirty at the age of seven.

Every Beast Tamer has a chance to awaken Skills at each 5 Energy Level interval. Each Species of Beast Tamer has different Skill pools available for awakening, but generally speaking, the better the Skills awakened, the higher the aptitude.

If one goes by the current rate of obtaining Skill Point Fragments, it would take 14 days to collect 8 Skill Points, and 17 days to collect 10 Skill Points.

At this rate, there seems to be no chance of activation before the first monthly test.

Ding-a-ling~

The ring of the class bell echoed in his ears; the class was taught by the homeroom teacher, Lu Junxiang.

Lu Junxiang, holding a thermos, said casually, "Take out the homework you did yesterday. I had the class representative distribute the workbooks yesterday at noon, and I've looked through the problems you did. The one with the most mistakes was question four of the multiple-choice section. Let's go over it."

The chalk scribbled on the blackboard.

Registered spirit beasts with no criminal record can be summoned in public places. Based on the Spirit beast's own Attribute and size, its danger level is categorized into W1, W2, W3, W4, with the level unable to be summoned inside indoor malls being ( ).

1. W1 and above. 2. W2 and above. 3. W3 and above. 4. W4.

"This question is a trap! As is commonly known, not all spirit beasts can be summoned in public places—for example, summon a Fire Demon Giant in a room full of flammable materials, and everyone in the mall can wait to turn into well-done roast! "

"Many students still can't distinguish clearly between W2, W3, and W4 levels; this is something you need to memorize. W1 is the safe level, where you can summon anywhere in public places as long as you have no criminal record. W2 is the specific places hazard level, which can be summoned in open, outdoor public places. W3 is the restricted danger level, prohibited from summoning in urban areas. W4 is the disaster damage level, forbidden from summoning in our world; if you want to summon, go summon in the opposite world. Of course, these restriction levels are for ordinary situations during peacetime; should personal safety be under threat, exceptions can be made. You are my students, and I still have to teach you to prioritize your personal safety!"

"Alright, then there was a calculation problem that many got wrong too."

On the training field, you release a tsunami wave with a speed of 160 km/h directly in front of you. The attack range of the water rush wave can be estimated as a horizontal area 12 meters wide. Assuming from a previous battle you have observed that the enemy takes 1.2—1.9 seconds to move 30 meters, how many meters away must you release the tsunami wave to effectively ensure that it will hit the enemy and the enemy cannot avoid the attack range?

"I know many of you don't take math calculations to heart, believing that battles are all about intuition, feelings, and summoning a Beast Tamer then issuing attack orders - blasting all offensive Skills at the enemy's face is right! Wrong! Big mistake! This question is actually very simple, experienced Beast Tamers can estimate the result within a second in the heat of battle."

"You may think even a second is too long, as battles change in an instant, but truly good Beast Tamers will control the field and direct the rhythm of the fight towards their Beast Taming style! They predict the course of the battle several seconds, even ten seconds, before releasing a Skill, step by step leading the enemy into a trap."

"Got off topic, let's continue explaining the method of calculating this problem..."

Ding-dong-ding~

The end-of-class bell interrupted the incessant Lu Junxiang.

Lu Junxiang frowned slightly but did not prolong the class. Clearing his throat, he said, "That's all for this class. Oh, and the Department of Education recently notified us that all students must not linger outside of school after classes, as illegal organizations have been active in the city. Later, the class president should come to my office and pick up a safety pledge to submit before school is out." Having said that, he left the classroom.

After school that evening, Chen Xing visited the school's Energy Level testing room.

After queuing for a while and it was his turn, he found that Taotie's Energy Level was 3.5, a whole 1 point higher than the result from two days ago, with an average increase of 0.5 per day.

If this pace continues, it would take roughly 3 more days for Taotie's Energy Level to reach 5, and then awaken the first Skill.

With 4 days left until the monthly test by then, four days of solid training should improve the Proficiency Level of the Skills, lest there be an embarrassing occurrence of a misfire.

What Skill Taotie would awaken remains unknown, he could go to the school's library later and look up the Skill pool that Salty Bay Crocodile may awaken to.
