After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tame - Chapter 65
Chapter 65: Chapter 64: Nine Dragons Han Family (Seeking Votes)
“Next year will be the first time I recruit students, but I haven’t settled on any students yet,” Han Yuning said with feigned sigh. “It’s easy to be a teacher, but good students are hard to find.”
“If you become my student, I can guarantee a substantial provision of resources for you. Not just school resources, but also the Beast Taming resources of my family,” Han Yuning said with an upward curve of his lips.
When he heard that Han Yuning came from the Nine Dragons Han Family, Chen Xing furrowed his brows, realizing that things were not simple.
Since ancient times, there have been only wrong names taken, never wrong nicknames given.
The Nine Dragons Han Family lived up to its name.
The Han Family had nine types of dragon species Beast Taming, and even Chen Xing, who usually did not like to surf the net, had come across the family name more than once online.
This was an absolute prestigious family.
“However… if you do want to be my student, I also have a small condition.”
“Please, teacher, state it.”
Han Yuning was slightly taken aback for a moment but then looked at the young slicker before him with a look that was both smiling and not smiling.
“As I said, I’m going to recruit my first batch of students next year, so I need you to be able to get into Jiuzhou University in next June’s university entrance exams. I don’t demand a specific ranking, as long as you get in.
You are someone Old Master Qiu values, and it would be strange if you couldn’t get into Jiuzhou University by your senior year, so this requirement isn’t too harsh,” Han Yuning continued.
Chen Xing pondered for a moment, the requirement seemed manageable.
If Taotie maintained its current rate of progress, participating in next year’s university entrance exams was feasible.
But it would mean skipping two grades in a row, and he did not know if the principal would agree, since the school had invested so much resources, they certainly hoped to produce a “city top scorer.”
Not just an excellent student who merely advanced by skipping two grades to get into Jiuzhou University.
After all, each year there would still be one or two outstanding graduates from Azure Dragon No. 8 High School who got into Jiuzhou University.
Chen Xing could not do what others did—repaying one meal with a hundred when they prospered after someone helped them in their time of need.
So if he participated in next year’s entrance exam, he would have to ensure Taotie was well-cultivated, at least capable of competing for the city’s top scorer.
There were around two hundred days left until next year’s university entrance exam, and with sufficient resources for proper cultivation, Taotie should grow to a considerable level. Having calculated in his mind, it seemed doable!
So he nodded, “Teacher, I will try my best.”
“Not try your best, but definitely get in, otherwise I’ll have to wait another year to take you as my student, and the resources my first batch of students and second batch of students receive will definitely differ,” Han Yuning said.
“It’s not just about me, the upper echelons of Great Xia are reaching the endgame in the reform game, and it will be officially implemented next year. The first people to try out new things are always the fattest, so even without the goal of becoming my student, it is a very good opportunity for you,” Han Yuning added.
“Moreover, the resources allocated to universities by the state dwarf those given to high schools, and if your aptitude is sufficient and you are strong enough, you can go straight to university. There is no need to waste time in high school.”
After listening to Han Yuning, Chen Xing was pensive.
If there really was new policy implementation next year, then it was indeed an opportunity.
And listening to the teacher, the resources in university were indeed more abundant than in high school, and from his own professional tree, it was evident that although the demand for resources was not excessively high, resources were still needed.
Plus, it wasn’t like his Beast Taming could only consume what he personally made and no other treasures.
Good things could never be too many.
Tackling from both fronts was the true path to power.
However, if that was the case… wouldn’t he and his sister be participating in the same university entrance exams?
Chen Xing suddenly thought of something.
He wondered if it was possible to encounter her on the high-stakes examination.
Hmm… better not tell her yet, he would give her a surprise later on. Or perhaps a shock.
“Here.” Han Yuning stretched out his hand, and something resembling an admission notice appeared out of thin air.
Chen Xing’s eyes turned green upon seeing this.
What was this? Creation out of nothing? Magic? Storage item?
“Intent to sign on as a tutee.” Chen Xing read the text on it.
His expression became somewhat nuanced.
Could it be that old Han had prepared all this before his arrival? Did he plan this all along?
“Stop looking, it’s not magic,” Han Yuning extended his slender finger and made a tiny gesture. “Oh, I forgot to give you a pen.” Han Yuning waved his hand, and the next moment a pen and a box of ink for fingerprinting appeared.
“…”
He definitely prepared it in advance! Even Chen Xing suspected that Han Yuning might have come to some private agreement with Old Master Qiu beforehand. Otherwise, why would Han Yuning be so enthusiastic?
After Chen Xing finished signing and pressed his fingerprint into the ink, Han Yuning happily took it back, looking at Chen Xing with a smile, “Alright, from now on, you are my student. By the way, at the university, you should refer to regular teachers of minor subjects as ‘teacher,’ but for someone like me who is directly responsible for you, you should call me ‘mentor.'”
“Mentor,” Chen Xing obediently called out.
Han Yuning smiled even more broadly, his eyes crinkling with joy as he nodded in satisfaction, “Good, from now on you are my first and foremost disciple!”
“After your beast undergoes its first evolution, I’ll send someone to pick you up, and you’ll come over to the Han Family. Your second beast can be chosen from the nine dragons of the Han Family. Of course, if you have a better beast, we can also save that opportunity for you,” Han Yuning said nonchalantly.
Chen Xing’s heart leaped at the mention of dragons!
Dragons are regarded as extremely prestigious creatures in any world. Whether it be a Sub-Dragon, a Jiao Dragon, or a Demi-Dragon.
One always hears about creatures being compared to dragons, but never about dragons being compared to other creatures.
This fact alone reveals their status.
Just as many would say someone is comparable to Xiang Yu, but no one ever says Xiang Yu is comparable to someone else.
The Energy Level Limit for Dragon Breed creatures is not low at all!
Even the lowest level Dragon Breeds have a base Energy Level Limit of over 50.
This species is absolutely dominant.
Chen Xing actually doesn’t have a collecting habit; he just happened to want to raise a dragon…
“Mentor, is the Transcendence Stage reached once one’s Energy Level is above 100?” Chen Xing asked.
“Not exactly,” Han Yuning replied. “It’s not that surpassing 100 Energy Level is the minimum standard for the Transcendence Stage, it’s that only after transcending can an Energy Level surpass 100.”
“There are many forms of Transcendence: there is Fleshly Transcendence, Soul Transcendence, and also Magic Transcendence.”
“Some beasts choose only one path to Transcendence, but there are those which pick two or even three paths to transcend.”
“Only after transcending can the shackles be broken, allowing a beast to fully sublimate and break through the Energy Level limit of 100,” Han Yuning explained.
Now Chen Xing understood.
That meant Han Yuning’s Lop-Eared Jade Rabbit and Old Qiu’s Emperor Crocodile of the Vast Sea must both be beings that have transcended.
“These things are still too far off for you,” Han Yuning cautioned. “You need to focus on properly cultivating your beast, raise its Energy Level to 100, and then consider Transcendence.”
“Oh yes, not all beasts have the chance to transcend. A beast needs to reach a minimum Energy Level of 100 to embark on a path of Transcendence.”
“Some beasts’ species limits don’t reach 100 Energy Level, so those creatures can never transcend in their lifetime. Therefore, the evolutionary path you choose for your beast is very important. Don’t just select any path lightly, as some paths might lead to a dead-end where transcendence is impossible,” Han Yuning advised.
Having heard all this, Chen Xing now knew the secrets within.
“Are there any remedies for those beasts that cannot transcend?” Chen Xing asked.
“There are, but if the wrong path is chosen, it will take ten times, or even a hundred times more effort to make up for it,” Han Yuning pointed out.
“Rare evolutionary paths certainly have stronger potential, and almost guarantee that the beast will touch the limit of 100 Energy Level. However, they require stringent qualifications from the beast itself, and the resources consumed are also more scarce and precious,” Han Yuning elaborated.
“Not everyone has the opportunity to encounter a rare evolutionary path. In fact, more than 99.99% of people have never even heard of one,” Han Yuning added.
“However, ordinary evolutionary paths also have their advantages. The materials needed are not too rare, they take shape quickly, and can form combat power faster,” Han Yuning pointed out.
Now Chen Xing truly understood.
Continuing with a slight smile, Han Yuning said, “But you don’t have to worry that much. The first beast you choose is on the path laid out by Old Qiu, so reaching the Energy Level Limit of 100 will be easy for you. And if you choose a dragon from the Han Family for your second beast, reaching an Energy Level of 100 won’t be difficult either. The key thing you need to think about is how to transcend, because some beasts struggle their whole lives at Energy Level 100 and never manage to take that step.”
