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

Having gone through such an intense test, it would be a lie to say Qin Ming wasn't tired. But compared to physical exhaustion, he felt more of a sense of satisfaction and exhilaration.

Although the preliminary preparations were arduous and required a great deal of effort, the entire assessment process was largely within his prediction and control.

The sense of accomplishment from using wisdom and preparation to lure a seemingly invincible enemy into a trap step by step, and even to the point of "persuading" them to retreat, is unparalleled and incredibly satisfying.

Although Qin Ming himself did not face the extreme pressure of life and death like the other students, his spirit beasts gained a lot from this high-pressure environment.

In the early stages of the assessment, with the targeted guidance of several experts, they significantly improved their understanding and mastery of their skills.

During the assessment, the genuine and terrifying pressure from the sixth-tier spirit beasts acted like the best whetstone, further refining their strength and will. As a result, after the assessment, both Keda and Cangxuan's levels increased by two!

How long has it been? Apart from the period of rapid growth when he first contracted a spirit beast, Qin Ming hasn't enjoyed this kind of rocket-like increase in strength for a long time.

Indeed, as a spirit master who has been continuously nourished by spirit beasts, he can now clearly feel that his long-stagnant mental barrier is loosening and he is about to break through to the level of an advanced spirit master!

If successful, he can free up a new contract slot for that mysterious spirit that dwells in the Blue Star computer.

Before the assessment, he had complained bitterly about the academy's "cruel" arrangements, and was even encouraged by Huo Lin to imagine how to "crash the party" without being discovered. But now, looking at the real gains he and his companions had made, Qin Ming could only say... it's actually pretty good.

The only regret is that this "good thing" ended too quickly; he didn't have time to cherish and make full use of it before the opportunity slipped away.

Little Fatty is the most typical example. He didn't have time to participate in the battle directly, and his assessment results were not as good as Keda and Cangxuan's. He relied entirely on Kong Lao's cheat code.

Qin Ming clearly saw the new move Little Fatty had learned—Void Trap—from the information on the Spirit Compendium panel.

Just hearing the name felt extremely dangerous, and it also had a spatial attribute, requiring such a long charging time. Qin Ming really didn't dare let Keda and Cangxuan test their moves on Little Fatty, fearing they might "die while trying."

When asked to ask for help, Little Fatty hesitated and refused, arguing that such a trump card must be kept secret and must be shown for the first time in front of a large audience to demonstrate its power and his brilliance.

What Qin Ming didn't know was that Xiao Pang had developed a deep obsession with not being able to make the dashing "savior" entrance he envisioned in this assessment.

That day, relying on his ability to travel through the void, he relentlessly pursued the Crimson Lion King, sincerely seeking guidance, only to be decisively rejected by the still-frightened lion king.

This incident left an indelible "psychological shadow" on both parties.

Qin Ming himself was also lost in thought: Who else could he turn to? Apart from the Holy Deer or the Fire Kirin, he couldn't think of anyone who possessed overwhelming strength, had plenty of free time, and was close enough to entrust his affairs to.

Huo Lin is far away in his birthplace and cannot be relied upon.

Looking at the Heavenly Deer beside him, with its clear, innocent eyes that seemed to hold the starry sky... Qin Ming felt a pang of conscience and couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Hey, Qin Ming! Those old guys are plotting something inhuman again. Lu came specifically to warn you!"

Tianze Sacred Deer trotted over and affectionately nuzzled Qin Ming's arm with its head.

Since his spirit master Shen Qingxian temporarily left the academy for some reason, the Holy Deer has become more and more free to act, and has been extremely kind to Qin Ming.

Not only did they provide support throughout the assessment process, but they also proactively offered free skills training and various first-hand "insider information" before and after the exam.

With such perfect and considerate service, if Qin Ming were to ask this mentor and friend to be a "guinea pig" for testing dangerous moves... Qin Ming felt his conscience would ache so much he couldn't breathe.

It's not that I think Little Fatty can really hurt Tianze Sacred Deer, it's just that I think this is too unfair and bullies the honest deer too much.

Imagine a sacred deer, whose abilities are maxed out in evasion and instinct, having to endure a little fat man planting "bombs" around it and then slowly dealing with them for an hour... How can a human do that?

This is even worse than forcing someone who's afraid of dogs to walk their dog or dragging a timid person to a haunted house. While there's no immediate danger to life, the psychological damage is absolutely devastating; a friendship could easily be destroyed.

After spending several time together, Qin Ming could clearly sense that the Heavenly Sacred Deer had a natural aversion to fighting, destroying, and killing with its own hands, both in terms of personality and instinct.

He was not a violent priest who could shout "Holy Light!" while rushing in and smashing the enemy's head, but a traditional, compassionate, and life-loving pure healer.

At this moment, the Sacred Deer was enthusiastically instructing Cang Xuan: "That's right, that's right! To understand the alternation and balance of the withering and flourishing of plants and the cycle of life is a lifelong lesson for us wood-attribute spirit beasts. The flow of energy should be like a babbling brook, nourishing without being domineering..."

He became more and more engrossed in his speech, his deer-like eyes sparkling with intellectual light. He was overjoyed to have found a kindred spirit like Cang Xuan, who had a profound understanding of the way of nature, among the many violent people around him.

Cang Xuan listened attentively and raised his doubts and insights when appropriate.

The Heavenly Deer carefully dissected Cang Xuan's doubts, striving to provide the most targeted guidance. "The optimal nutrient ratio for fertilizer, fresh... wait! What fertilizer!?"

The narration abruptly stopped. The sacred deer seemed to have heard some incredible words, its hooves suddenly jerked up, and the entire deer froze.

"Huh!?—"

He looked up and let out a cry that was unclear and filled with shock. His large, bright eyes, which had been shining with a gentle light, became somewhat empty and lifeless.

What angered Lu even more than their differing beliefs and lack of common language was that the path he believed in was being desecrated and distorted by others.

What's even more frightening is that Cang Xuan listed a series of observational data in a logical and well-founded manner, making it seem very convincing.

He even wanted Xiaopang to gather materials on the spot and demonstrate the so-called "high-efficiency fertilizer preparation process"!

The Heavenly Deer trembled and took a step back, slowly closing its eyes. Its long eyelashes trembled slightly as it felt the unbearable weight of life...
