After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

"You did very well, I believe you can be my sharpest spear," Chen Xing was generous with his praise.

Sìxiàng's eyes lit up, as if stars had ignited within them.

The usually aloof expression almost broke as it struggled to contain its excitement, tipped on its toes, and scurried to the side to train its skills.

Taotie, who had been blending into the background, swung its mountainous head around.

Opening Taotie's skill panel,

Chen Xing looked at the unrivaled Water Devouring skill.

After a moment of silence, he said somberly, "No wonder the water bill was so expensive this month..."

Perhaps all its energy had been put into practicing Water Devouring.

The proficiency points Taotie had accumulated for its Water Devouring Skill were enough for three optimizations!

Chen Xing clicked to optimize.

Please choose one of the following three optimization directions.

1. Reduce skill cooldown. (Normal)

2. Enhance healing effect. (Normal)

3. Reduce magic power consumption of the skill. (Normal)

Chen Xing chose to enhance the healing effect because the healing effect of Water Devouring is an ongoing one, and its cooldown is already refreshed before the effect ends, so there's no need to reduce the cooldown since the healing effect can't stack.

As for reducing magic power consumption, it's unnecessary for Taotie.

It has little need for magic power, with ten times the magic power of its peers having nowhere to be released.

The second optimization, still a choice of one out of three ordinary options.

Chen Xing continued to choose to enhance the healing effect.

Following the pattern of Thunder Spear, after an increase of +4 to the healing effect, it should be equivalent to a mid-level healing skill.

If it were fighting in a watery environment, Taotie could basically have a mid-level healing skill buff permanently attached...

Although there was no additional optimization effect, this pure enhancement of the skill effect was also a good choice.

The third optimization.

Please choose one of the following three optimization directions.

1. Reduce skill cooldown. (Normal)

2. Enhance healing effect. (Normal)

3. Double the magic power consumption of the skill, but the healing effects can stack. (Rare)

Looking at the third option, Chen Xing's mind slowly conjured up a question mark.

Still, he decisively picked option 3 without a doubt.

Water Devouring +6

[Additional Effects]

1. Healing effect strengthened +4

2. Each use of the skill can remove a random negative state from oneself. (Rare)

3. The skill's magic power consumption is doubled, but the healing effects can stack. (Rare)

After the optimizations, although Taotie only optimized a healing skill, for its role as a frontline meat shield warrior, this was a significant enhancement.

Taotie felt some changes in its skill and then looked expectantly at its master.

"Mhm, you did well, keep it up. You are my best shield. Sìxiàng has evolved, and I will find a powerful evolutionary path for you too, just wait a little longer," Chen Xing said gently, looking at Taotie with a tender gaze.

"Roar..."

A heavy breath sounded out like muffled thunder from its throat.

Taotie bowed its head, its massive jaw gently grazing over its master's head.

It was determined to strive and prove itself worthy of its master's expectations.

Then, Taotie turned its head and roared toward the living room, where Dong Jun was reluctantly tearing his gaze away from the TV, swiftly bending down and rushing out from the spacious living room doorway, headed straight for the lawn. He expertly turned on the water valve, and a thick Water Column burst instantly from the pipe, pouring into the pond.

After completing all this, Dong Jun hurried back toward the living room.

"Stop right there," Chen Xing's voice, laden with authority, came from the side.

Dong Jun's steps halted abruptly, plowing a deep furrow in the lawn.

"Oh?" Dong Jun looked at his master, puzzled.

Chen Xing, hands clasped behind his back, spoke slowly, "With so much going on recently, I've neglected you, kid."

Dong Jun's brow furrowed, sensing that the matter was not trivial.

With a guilty conscience, he looked around hesitantly, but Taotie was immersed in practicing skills, and it believed that it would soon become its master's best Beast Taming pet, surpassing that big black bird!

Sìxiàng wasn't slow either. Taotie had always been ahead, and it only held the advantage of having evolved first.

But with the master being so powerful, it believed it wouldn't take long for Taotie to evolve as well.

Then, it and Taotie would be on the same starting line.

So it dared not relax.

With its comrades not paying any heed, Dong Jun's heart felt cold.

"Have I been so busy with the arena that I forgot to beat you?" Chen Xing snorted coldly, his words chilling as they squeezed through his teeth.

Dong Jun's neck shrank.

He knew watching TV wouldn't end well.

"Don't move, let me take a look," Chen Xing said indifferently.

Dong Jun stood still, freezing in place.

Chen Xing looked over Dong Jun's skills, mainly the little games associated with them.

After selecting for a bit, Chen Xing finally chose a skill—Hammer of Light.

Good Knock, Definitely Resounding (Minigame): Cast the Hammer of Light, and within a hundred-meter radius, accurately hit the heads of creatures with a head shape, earning 1 point of proficiency for each successful hit.

This game was relatively simple and could also be practiced during expeditions, hitting the heads of some wild creatures with the Hammer of Light.

Right, since he had to follow the main troop, he certainly couldn't summon Sìxiàng and Taotie.

One was an ultra-model, and the other was too big.

Either one, when summoned, would affect the training effect of the others.

So only Dong Jun was suitable.

It was also timely, as Dong Jun's energy level was at 72.
