After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

104  Chapter 95 Out-of-Town Visitors

Chen Xing soon received the award for being the junior year monthly exam champion, personally handed to him by Director He, the head of the junior-year teaching group.

Director He handed the box with the award to Chen Xing and patted his hand with emotion, "Young people are indeed fearsome."

Chen Xing and Senior Tian walked out of the gym together and returned to the school team; as soon as they sat down, Tian Xuechuan couldn't help but complain, "Do you guys know what that junior just did? Something utterly insane!"

"What could possibly shock our genius youngster so much? It's not like he beat you up, right?" Tong Xuhua teased.

Tian Xuechuan didn't answer, but just looked at Tong Xuhua with a profound gaze.

Tong Xuhua sensed the odd atmosphere in the air, and his expression became weird, "Could it be that I guessed right?"

"Cough cough cough, yes, Tian Xuechuan just got a lesson from a beast-taming battle, and he lost miserably," said Wen Jin, walking in with a cup of milk tea.

Tian Xuechuan turned around abruptly, disbelieving, "You saw it?"

"I was just picking up a milk tea delivery and happened to pass by the gym on my way back when I saw Junior Chen with the silhouette of his beast taming, so I got curious and followed."

"So, you saw the whole thing from start to finish?" Tian Xuechuan held his forehead, done for, socially dead.

"No big deal, it's normal for you to lose. We aren't surprised," Wen Jin said seriously.

Tong Xuhua added fuel to the fire with a nod, "It does seem unsurprising. I might be a bit surprised if Wen Jin lost, though."

Chen Xing raised his hand, "I only found out about the principal asking me to participate in the junior-year monthly exam half an hour before it started."

"No worries, eh... the prize actually wasn't reduced." Tian Xuechuan opened the school's award box and unexpectedly found that the contents were the same as the previous month.

Chen Xing also opened his box to find it contained ten bottles of Grade B universal nutrient potions.

One bottle of Grade B universal nutrient potion had a market price of twenty-five thousand yuan, so ten bottles together were worth a total of two hundred fifty thousand.

Educational resources were truly a downpour of real gold and silver.

However, selling them at a discount price at the auction each time seemed a bit much, and Chen Xing looked at Senior Tian.

"Senior Tian, what grade of nutrient potions do you usually give your beast taming animals?"

Tian Xuechuan looked at Chen Xing with clear eyes, "My beasts usually consume Grade A custom potions; I feel they work pretty well. My Ghost-Faced Mastiff has been drinking it for over a year now, and if you need, I can introduce you to a nutritionist."

"No need... I have specially customized nutrient potions," Chen Xing shook his head.

Wen Jin, on the side, understood and, having heard some rumors and knowing Chen Xing's family situation, guessed Chen Xing's thoughts, "You're thinking of selling these potions that are of no use to you, right?"

"I am considering it."

"Is that so..." Tian Xuechuan realized and then generously said, "I sold the awards I got from the school before. If you find it inconvenient to sell them, I can help you out. I happen to have a channel."

On the side, Tong Xuhua also nodded, "We have a specialized circle for selling these school-issued awards. They're not very useful to us, so it's better to sell them at a discount to those who need them.

"You can't expect the original price, since buyers come for secondhand goods because they're cheaper, but it's also more reasonable than going to the black market. We can sell them at 85 to 90 percent of the price here."

"Yes, we have a specific group, and basically, it's most active in the group from the end of the month to the beginning of the month," said Tian Xuechuan with a nod.

"Do you want me to add you to the group, or should I help you sell them on your behalf? I have to sell mine anyway, so it would be just like selling double," Tian Xuechuan asked.

"Senior, please help me sell them," Chen Xing preferred not to be involved directly.

He had taken care of a task, much more efficiently than going to the auction.

Indeed, where there's demand, a corresponding circle emerges.

But... considering what Senior Tian said earlier about his beasts drinking Grade A custom potions?

Now it seemed that intermediate-level pet food had a better effect than Grade A custom potions.

Chen Xing's view of Tian Xuechuan changed.

To think that this broad-browed, big-eyed guy was also a rich second generation.

A bottle of Grade A universal potion had a market price of about one hundred twenty-five thousand, but due to the lack of mass production and lack of off-the-shelf availability in stores, the actual purchase price was likely even higher.

Not to mention the price of the custom Grade A potions.

"Tian Xuechuan's family is quite wealthy; they're the biggest professional lighting fixtures and electrical enterprise in Jincheng," Tong Xuhua said.

With such a good family background, he didn't go to a private school but came to a public high school instead.

"Don't talk about me, ouch, my family just has some spare cash, but your dad is a big leader in the Forestry Bureau," Tian Xuechuan said to Tong Xuhua. "Besides, family background doesn't represent anything. Wen Jin and you, Chen Xing, are both typical examples."

Tong Xuhua felt that there was some truth to what Tian Xuechuan said. Wen Jin, who had been suppressing him for a full three years, came from an average family, and so did Chen Xing.

Could it be that this is the right way to be a genius?

...

Several planes from all over the country almost simultaneously made a safe landing on the runway of Jinzhou Airport at the same time.

The aircraft doors opened one by one, and passengers stepped out one after another, boarding the waiting shuttle buses and finally gathered in a classy VIP hall.

This group of guests who had come from afar were mostly teachers and young students.

They either grouped in twos and threes or were quietly on their own, but the common trait was that most of the young faces looked down, their eyes captivated by the electronic devices in their hands.

By contrast, the older teachers were more composed and at ease.

They gathered together, speaking in hushed tones, amiable smiles occasionally appearing on their faces as they subtly tried to gauge the strength of their opponents.

"I heard your Hanhai Senior High School put on quite a show at the College Cup this year," a teacher began with a smile, his tone, however, carried a hint of mockery, "You've practically swept the local colleges away. Looks like the championship is yours to claim."

Another teacher waved his hand dismissively and replied modestly, "Oh, not at all, that's just an exaggeration on the internet. We had to put in an enormous effort to barely snatch the championship.

"But it's Starry High School from Longdu that's truly caught everyone's attention this year, especially that Ji Dongliang. He really does have the grace of his brother, Ji Qiuxian, back in the day. I think you are the real favorites for the championship this year."

No sooner had the two teachers finished speaking than other teachers around them joined the conversation, each contributing courteous compliments and modest denials. But careful listening revealed the sharp edge and competitive tension hidden in their banter.

These top-ranking high school teams from across the country weren't here merely for a simple exchange program.

They came with their students to challenge the newly discovered Inheritance Tower.

"I heard the local teams from Shu State have already completed their challenge. How did they fare, and what's the difficulty level of the Inheritance Tower?" a teacher inquired.

A teacher responded, "From what they've said, it's quite challenging. The top record is only reaching the Third Layer, with one student reaching the Fourth but failing to pass."

"Oh? Only the Third Layer?" A casual voice suddenly came from a corner, "It seems like the students from Shu State need to strengthen their abilities."

All eyes turned toward the speaker, where a girl in the corner put down her mobile phone.

The teacher standing next to her felt awkward. This child had such low emotional intelligence; even if you think that way, you shouldn't say it outright.

After all, this Inheritance Tower is in Shu State, and they were "invited" guests.

The other teachers' gazes shifted to the badge on the teacher's chest — Qihang Senior High School.

A famous private school in Nanzhou that has risen rapidly in recent years and performed well in the College Cup.

"It's possible that this Inheritance Tower is challenging, we'll know once everyone has had a try tomorrow," said a teacher, attempting to diffuse the tension.

The next day, after a good night's rest at the Jincheng Grand Hotel, the group set out early in the morning on a bus headed for the Nightmare Swamp 03 Secret Realm.

After some brief rest, they rode military vehicles deeper into the realm to begin their challenge.

Teachers couldn't enter the Inheritance Tower; they could only wait outside.

A hundred carefully selected students from across the country entered the Inheritance Tower simultaneously.

Outside the Inheritance Tower, the school officer who had last received Chen Xing and the others, stood with white gloves and his hands clasped behind him, his aide by his side.

Minutes later, lights indicating the second layer lit up one after another.

Three students were expelled from the tower while the remaining ninety-seven advanced to the second layer!

The aide was surprised, "Nearly all of them made it to the second challenge, that's so much more than last time."

No, the ratio was even more exaggerated!

A 97% pass rate for the first challenge.

The officer commented calmly, "If the results were close to those of last time, that would be the real concern."

"These are all talents selected from all over the country, and though they're not all here, the number isn't small. If their scores were similar to those of our single state, I would be worried for the future generation."

"No wonder I'm only your aide — you always think ahead, sir!" the aide exclaimed.

After a while, the number of students who passed the second challenge and moved on to the Third Layer plummeted.

Students were eliminated one by one, but some made it to the Third Layer.

The aide took a notebook and came forward to tally the numbers, quickly arriving at a result.

"A total of twenty-seven people entered the Third Layer."

Meanwhile, the students who had reached the Third Layer were being tormented by the water field.

Countless students submerged in water let out their cries: "Blub blub blub... "

A series of white flashes appeared densely outside the Inheritance Tower.

The aide counted them off like she was counting sheep.

"One, two, three, four... twenty-four." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Huh, so three people managed to get through.

The aide was somewhat surprised.

"It seems this field is indeed difficult; the Shu State Education Department wasn't lying," a teacher commented.

Another teacher with a bald head praised, "Then this local Shu State student who made it to the Fourth Layer must be quite good."

Some teachers began plotting in their minds to see if they could poach this promising talent.

The girl who had previously spoken in mockery was eliminated at the Third Layer.

Her clothes were still wet, she looked extremely displeased, feeling as if everyone's gaze held scorn — even though no one was paying her any attention.
