Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code

"No wonder Brother Shen was able to arrive first; your abilities are truly remarkable!"

"No, no, taking the air is a shortcut. It must have been much more difficult to overcome all obstacles on land."

"Being able to travel empty is your skill; we'd like to travel empty too, but we have no choice. So, Brother Shen, there's no need to be modest!"

"No, no..."

Qin Ming and Shen Yanqing chatted back and forth, laughing and joking.

"That's enough, you two!" Zeng Fu'an couldn't take it anymore and interrupted their excessive modesty.

"Tell me quickly, how did you break through the level of your formation? If my commander finds out, he'll make a scene!"

Because of the commander's physique, Zeng Fu'an was the only one who did not summon his spirit beast to display it.

But this little secret can't be kept from your roommate for long.

"I benefited from my little Xuan's influence; the Xuan Crane has a very high feedback rate for improving mental strength." Shen Yanqing didn't hide anything and revealed his secret.

Very well, this is as good as saying nothing, Zeng Fu'an can't learn it at all. He turned to look at Qin Ming.

Meeting Zeng Fu'an's expectant gaze, Qin Ming stammered, "...Talent, I guess."

Qin Ming really didn't know what to say. Could he say that intermediate-level formations were very simple, that anyone could do it?

Moreover, he has long since moved beyond simply reading from the book and has embarked on a unique path of improvement and customization, which has been praised by all who have used it.

Even more so, his intermediate-level array formation skill will probably soon become a thing of the past...

He has already vaguely grasped the threshold of the next level; there's no way around it, he just has that kind of extraordinary talent in this area.

Therefore, he really couldn't answer Zeng Fu'an's question.

However, he also discovered his talent for time travel, which seemed to have a tempering effect on mental strength—during the period of frequent time travel, his mental strength improved rapidly.

So when Qin Ming said it was an answer based on talent, he wasn't just being perfunctory or showing off.

"You guys!" Zeng Fu'an gritted his teeth. "One claims it's a spirit beast's talent, the other claims it's a spirit tamer's talent, are you trying to kill us all?!"

"But it's no small feat that you've earned the approval of the Wowa steed!" Qin Ming reassured his companion.

"That's because my family has a long tradition of raising horses!" Zeng Fu'an said speechlessly.

Rich people!

This was Qin Ming's first reaction: raising spirit beasts is expensive, raising a group of spirit beasts is like spending money water...

"What are you thinking? It's a family tradition; we've always been involved in horse breeding, so we've always had some connection with wild equine spirit beasts. There are actually quite a few of these!"

"It's not really our own pet; my family isn't that rich!"

That's quite enviable. The first spirit beast with such a high starting point was something Qin Ming could only dream of back then.

Fortunately, Keda lived up to expectations, surpassing Qin Ming in both level and potential. Qin Ming gently rubbed Keda's round head.

While chatting, everyone exchanged news, complimented each other, and then went to bed early.

……

The next day, early morning.

"This training camp was supposed to have 62 participants, and 59 are present. Based on their performance yesterday, we have divided them into levels. Nine of them are in Level S. Step forward!"

Qin Ming glanced at the big "S" on the score sheet, hugged Keda, took a step forward, and then looked around again. Great, all his roommates had made it through.

While some were happy, others were sad. Those who didn't get an S-rank felt bad looking at the leaders on the stage, and some whispered among themselves.

"Quiet! I know some of you might disagree, feeling that speed isn't your strong suit. However, in the wild, the speed at which you escape danger is crucial to your future. Making this your first entry-level test is a way to emphasize its importance!"

"This level is not fixed. The daily assessment items will be scored, and if you perform well, you will still have the opportunity to be promoted."

"So those of you who have now achieved S-rank, please don't be careless, lest someone catch up with you!"

"After the training camp, those who achieve an A grade or above will be guaranteed admission to university, and those who achieve an S grade will receive additional academic credits. We encourage everyone to apply."

"Any other questions?"

"Teacher, I'm not convinced! I was the second one to arrive yesterday, so why did I only get an A grade?" His angry outburst drew everyone's attention.

"Gao Yi, you abandoned your teammates without hesitation yesterday, resulting in relegation. Do you still have questions?"

"We're all competitors! There's no need for us to help each other!" Gao Yi felt he was right.

"We encourage mutual assistance in the wild because groups go further, and everyone has their share of difficulties. But we also respect everyone's choices, so we hope that you can demonstrate the strength of a lone wolf in the future! Prove yourself!"

Gao Yi paused for a moment, then didn't refute.

"Teacher, I'm just a little curious, why did this student also get an S-rank?" Someone spoke up again, this time the question was directed at Qin Ming.

"Yes, I'm curious too!" Many people responded.

Sigh, Qin Ming shook his head inwardly. There was nothing he could do. Among the nine people with an S-level rating, everyone else was either a flying spirit beast or a large land beast. His own Keda was simply too unique.

Too flashy! Extremely flashy!

"Your teammates were awesome."

Yesterday, Keda didn't contribute much, but he did benefit a lot from Zeng Fu'an's influence.

This immediately sparked public outrage. People can accept teamwork, but they cannot accept a mere bystander being dragged down and left to flop, especially when that bystander isn't even themselves! It's infuriating!

"Then I can do it too!"

"Exactly! It's luck!"

"I think there might be some misunderstanding. Yesterday, Qin Ming's teammate was me. Qin Ming himself earned the coach's approval. That's not something anyone can do easily!"

Zeng Fu'an spontaneously stood up to support Qin Ming.

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at the arrogant and smug Wowa Jun, who looked down on them and seemed ready to bite after a few seconds of eye contact. They then put themselves in his shoes and the murmurs subsided.

"Let me add a couple more points. Many people may feel it's unfair, for example, the random teammates and the innate characteristics of spirit beasts, but we have taken all factors into consideration."

Actually, there are designated starting distances for you, and the difficulty levels of the routes also differ. Some skill assessments are special, and some even don't have teammates!

"The combination of Qin Ming and Zeng Fu'an was placed on the route that was furthest away."

Everyone's doubts were answered, but now it was Qin Ming's turn to be dissatisfied.

I really want to thank you, Zeng Fu'an. If your spirit beast hadn't been so fast, would it have been assigned to such an unlucky place at all?

Not near water, far away, it doesn't offer any advantages whatsoever!

Everyone had no objections now, and some even felt a little sorry for Qin Ming. With that hot-tempered Wowa Zhijun, his experience traveling with him yesterday must have been terrible.

Qin Ming looked at Zeng Fu'an, his whole body unconsciously exuding a somewhat gloomy aura.

"No, it's not my fault!" Zeng Fu'an stammered.

"Well, it's not entirely his fault. The main reason is that Qin Ming, your spirit beast level is the highest in this summer camp."

"We've never seen such a unique Black Water Duck before, so we made it a little more difficult," the examiner said, offering a fair assessment.

Oh ~

Now everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Ming.
