Chapter 123: Chapter 112 Coach, I Want to Report Someone for Cheating
Chen Xing finished his morning class and, after having lunch with his Beast Taming, returned to the school team.
“Are you still going to compete with us sophomores in this month’s baseline test?” Tian Xuechuan probed for information without showing his hand.
Chen Xing replied with ease, “It depends on the leader’s arrangement, I don’t mind.” He smiled at Tian Xuechuan, teasingly said, “What, senior, are you here to spy on the military intel in advance? Are you scared?”
Tian Xuechuan acted as if he had heard a joke, holding up a finger and shaking it gently, “This winter break, I underwent intensive special training. My Beast Taming has evolved, and I’m no longer who I was a month ago.”
“Oh? Senior’s Beast Taming has evolved?” Chen Xing cooperated with a feigned expression of surprise.
“Certainly,” Tian Xuechuan said, then deliberately sighed, “It evolved just like that, junior, if you dare to challenge me this month, you’re really asking for trouble~”
After losing to Chen Xing in the third monthly exam last semester, Tian Xuechuan made up his mind to regain his honor.
Outwardly he claimed it didn’t bother him, but in secret, he worked furiously.
At that moment, Kuang Shiyi’s voice came from the classroom door not far away: “You two, come over here.” He beckoned Chen Xing and Tian Xuechuan, “Just waiting on you two.”
When Chen Xing and Tian Xuechuan walked into the classroom, they found that the other members of the team had all arrived.
Chen Xing headed straight to the back row and sat next to Zhou Hao: “You guys got here really early.”
“Wang Bing and I sneaked out early. Our teacher knew we had to come to the team, so he let us leave in advance.”
Zhou Hao said and couldn’t help but palm his forehead, “You didn’t just come out after finishing class, did you?”
Chen Xing laughed unconcernedly, “It just so happened to be the Monster Manual class; it was quite interesting.”
“Alright, stop talking now.” Kuang Shiyi, who was sitting at the lectern, slapped the desk to draw everyone’s attention to himself.
“Every year, a month before the high school cup, Jincheng’s school teams need to send one member to the Department of Education’s training camp for about seven days.
Traditionally, the participant in the training camp is the team captain; who among you is willing to go?”
Almost everyone’s eyes turned towards Wen Jin.
Chen Xing had no intention for the role; being captain was just a thankless job.
Moreover, once the actual competition began, nobody would spare you a second glance just because you were the captain.
It’s the strength of the players themselves that truly mattered.
Wen Jin couldn’t help coughing violently, “Sending an invalid like me to the training camp, that’s too much!”
Kuang Shiyi said, “Tong Xuhua is unreliable, Wu Ju is a girl, and the accommodation at the training is not very convenient; it’s better to send a boy.”
Hearing the coach call him unreliable, Tong Xuhua breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t want to go to the training camp at all; it was boring and uninteresting.
Plus, there was a lot of officialdom; he had heard that there were leadership speeches every other day.
“The junior could go,” Wen Jin suggested, “Let the junior gain some experience. After all, we’ll graduate after this tournament.” Saying this, he coughed a few more times.
“Your illness…” Kuang Shiyi frowned at Wen Jin, “Is it really okay?”
“It doesn’t affect normal combat,” Wen Jin said calmly, “It’s just an occasional cough.”
After pondering for a moment, Kuang Shiyi said, “Then you’ll go.”
Wen Jin was silent for a moment: “Actually… it does have a bit of an effect.”
“I’ll go,” Wu Ju, sitting beside him, suddenly spoke up.
Kuang Shiyi looked at her in some surprise: “Are you sure?”
“If boys can go, why can’t I?” Wu Ju countered, “Coach, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Kuang Shiyi hesitated but finally nodded, “Okay then, you go.”
After this matter was settled, Kuang Shiyi looked back at the team members, “It looks like you all had a fulfilling winter break; you’ve all put on some weight.”
The team members looked at each other, some touched their cheeks, others pinched their stomachs, as if privately assessing whether they had indeed put on weight.
“Right, you guys won’t participate in the baseline test this time.”
The mood didn’t change among them; this was to be expected, as, to prevent leaking information, team members generally avoid summoning their Beast Taming in public places one to two months before a competition.
Continuing, Kuang Shiyi added, “Zhou Hao and Wang Bing are the exceptions; you two will take the test as usual.”
Wang Bing and Zhou Hao, sitting beside Chen Xing, exchanged glances.
They understood what the other was thinking: it seemed that whether or not our information is exposed doesn’t really matter.
“Even though you won’t take the baseline test, I still need to understand your current situation,” Kuang Shiyi continued.
“After lunch break, Wen Jin will battle me, Wu Ju will battle Tong Xuhua, Tian Xuechuan will battle Chen Xing, and Zhou Hao will battle Wang Bing.” He arranged the lineup for the upcoming battles.
After the rest, the team members came to the battle ground behind, full of energy.
This area was kept as pure earth ground since it was regularly used for battle training, not paved with cement, which was more suitable for the Beast Taming to battle and perform.
Two people summoned their Beast Taming at the same time.
Chen Xing, from a distance, watched Wen Jin’s Tremendous Earth Turtle closely.
Compared to before the winter break, this gigantic turtle seemed to have grown even larger.
Its shell seemed to have become thicker and sturdier, and its limbs more robust and powerful.
Compared to before the winter break, its Tremendous Earth Turtle seemed to have grown a bit larger.
Chen Xing knew that this was a normal phenomenon after evolution.
A Beast Taming undergoes a period of strength increase after evolving, with both its size and abilities significantly enhanced.
