Han Yuning asked, “On a different note, I’ve looked at your Glaze Holy Light Dragon, you’ve raised it well, it’s very spirited, what’s its Energy Level now?”

“Forty-three.”

At the mention of forty-three, Han Yuning was taken aback for a moment.

Then he looked at Chen Xing with suspicion.

“It hasn’t taken any banned substances, has it?”

Chen Xing smiled, “No, I wouldn’t do anything as foolish as forcing its growth.”

“Then it’s growing quite fast.” At this point, Han Yuning pondered thoughtfully; it seemed that Chen Xing might truly possess a talent that could accelerate the growth of Beast Taming.

Because the growth rate of his Beast Taming was very fast.

Even Taotie, which had only been trained for a short time, was able to win the national championship.

“These few days I’m free of matters, so you can stay over there for now. I’ve paid the utility bills for your house for a year in advance, and I’ve left an atlas on the table in your living room. If you want to go to the library or the cafeteria, you can get there on your own.”

“However…” Han Yuning hesitated for a moment.

“Please speak, Mentor.”

“You’re aware of rare evolutions, right?”

“I am.”

“Hmm… I have a rare evolution path here, and if the competition is successful, they will also handle all the materials needed for the evolution. In fact, securing the materials needed for evolution is the most important part.

The treasures needed for evolution are not easy to collect.

But there are many competitors, and the competitive pressure is considerable.

If you’re interested, I can sign you up, but whether you can get it depends on your luck.”

Chen Xing contemplated, considering that obtaining the materials was difficult even for the mentor with his family’s resources.

It appeared that the materials required for rare evolutions were indeed hard to acquire.

“Mentor, is the competition difficult?”

Han Yuning replied, “The location is at Dragon Mountain, and Dragon Mountain is a Dragon Clan force that is not weaker than Giant City.

Those competing against you will be dragons of the same age from Dragon Mountain.

Even there, rare evolutions are extremely precious.

At that time, your competitors in Beast Taming will be the gifted of the same age from the Dragon Clan.

Speaking of which, it actually involves Dong Jun’s father, and it’s by leveraging his status that you could obtain this opportunity, but it’s only a one-time chance, and you might end up making a wasted trip.”

Dong Jun’s father, huh…

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xing nodded: “Mentor, I want to give it a try.”

“Good, I’ll sign you up. Just go and try when it’s time; don’t burden yourself with too much pressure,” Han Yuning nodded.

“As for the specific time, we’ll have to wait for about two to three months. If you’re going to Dragon Mountain, just the journey there will take at least a month.”

Two to three months, huh…

If he finished the Sea King competition, it would be about time to go.

Chen Xing thought it over, realizing that the timeline was quite tight.

“Doesn’t the school have any records of rare evolution paths?”

Han Yuning said, “Yes, it does, but the requirements for rare evolution paths are usually very strict, both for the Species and the tamer’s own Abilities. Currently, the school has recorded five kinds of rare evolutions, but unfortunately, there’s none for the Dragon Clan, nor for crocodiles. Your Sìxiàng’s species is unknown, so even more so, none.”

Chen Xing pondered; in fact, he was not in much of a rush for rare evolutions.

As long as he accumulated enough Skill Points to activate the Innate Skills on the Skill Tree.

He believed it wouldn’t be long before he could activate the talents; then he could select an evolution path for his own Beast Taming according to the rare materials he obtained.

He had registered for Dragon Mountain also because Dragon Mountain could handle the materials for evolution.

After all, the materials required for rare evolution were hard to acquire.

The only rare material he had collected until now was the Blessing Conch given to him by the Situ family last time.

Beyond that, he hadn’t heard a whisper of any other rare materials.

It seemed that ordinary people might never even have the chance to hear of them.

…

Leaving the mentor’s house and walking a little over a hundred meters, Chen Xing used the key to open the residence that the mentor had prepared for him—a single-family villa with a garden.

The villa wasn’t large, but it had a substantial garden.

There was also a large pond in the garden.

The diameter of the pond was nearly two hundred meters.

It was probably a pond prepared by the mentor to accommodate Taotie’s size during the high school cup competition; if it were Taotie from that time, this pond would just barely allow it to swim inside.

But if it were according to Taotie’s size now…

It would be nothing more than a cramped little tub.

Chen Xing summoned Taotie.

The ground in the backyard sank, and Taotie flicked its tail, turning its head to glance at the small water hole beside it.

Stepped into it with one foot, then again with the other, tail tucked in, the entire body curled up inside the pond.

Only a pair of eyes floated above the water, staring at its owner.

Chen Xing entered the villa and looked around, the floor inside was very clean.

It must have been cleaned on a schedule.

Not long after entering the courtyard, a shiny figure rushed over from the side.

Dong Jun hugged Chen Xing in a single motion.

Whining loudly.

Its voice was anxious.

Suddenly sent to a strange place, without its owner by its side, Dong Jun nearly developed a stress response.

“I’m fine,” Chen Xing touched the top of Dong Jun’s head.

Dong Jun nodded, his eyes wide open.

It lowered its head, carefully sniffed around Chen Xing, and after not detecting the scent of injury or sickness, it finally retracted its head in relief.

“Dong Jun, give me a Bright Blessing,” Chen Xing said.

Dong Jun’s body lit up with a white light, and a white radiance emerged on the surface of Chen Xing’s body.

After that, Chen Xing felt the weariness of a day’s travel lift from his body.

Then Chen Xing proceeded to the back where the breeding grounds were located.

He wanted to check on the Twin-fiend Dogs’ current state, and he hadn’t gotten the Skill Point Fragments for the day either.

Approaching the breeding grounds, the Twin-fiend Dogs sensed Chen Xing’s scent from afar.

They were crowded behind the gate, barking continuously at Chen Xing.

“Quiet,” Chen Xing raised his right hand high.

The next second, all the Twin-fiend Dogs fell silent, closing their mouths.

Gazing at Chen Xing with their tails wagging, not diverting their eyes for a moment.

Chen Xing spoke to the Twin-fiend Dogs, “I’m going to get your food, no more barking. From now on, this will be your new home.”

The Twin-fiend Dogs seemed to understand completely and stopped barking.

Sitting quietly in place.

Chen Xing summoned Sìxiàng, then went to the kitchen himself where the freezer was filled with frozen meat prepared in advance by his mentor.

He took out the frozen meat to thaw, preparing the ingredients.

Two hours passed.

Chen Xing opened the gate and put the food in the troughs, and the Twin-fiend Dogs swarmed over eagerly.

“Feeding Beast Taming resulted in gaining 1 Skill Point Fragment due to a bonding level over 80.”

“Feeding Beast Taming resulted in gaining 2 Skill Point Fragments due to a bonding level over 90.”

“Feeding Beast Taming resulted in gaining 3 Skill Point Fragments due to a bonding level over 95.”

Message after message about obtaining Skill Point Fragments kept refreshing.

In just one evening, he had earned 108 Skill Point Fragments, which equaled 10.8 Skill Points.

That was only from feeding; there was still skill training to be done.

However, skill training took more time, training each Twin-fiend Dog in turn, roughly until midnight.

And altogether, it amounted to another 10.8 Skill Points.

Adding up to a total of 21.6 points.

In just a month’s time, he could earn over six hundred Skill Points.

The Skill “Rare Pet Exploration” that Chen Xing yearned for only required 500 Skill Points, not to mention the points he had already saved up.

He only needed to wait another half month to activate it.
