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

A group of young people, though young in age, exuded a powerful and composed aura on campus.

They are official team members of the Magic City Academy, who had previously undergone closed-door special training in the secret realm and have returned today.

The leader was tall and handsome, with calm and collected eyes. He was none other than Luo Yunchuan, the school team captain whom Zhang He often talked about and admired.

Zhang He, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted them with a big smile, but before he even got close, he couldn't contain his excitement and said:

"Captain! You're finally back! This year, our academy has produced some truly exceptional geniuses among our freshmen! Have you heard anything about it outside?"

As the captain of the school team, discovering and paying attention to promising reserve members is one of his responsibilities. Upon hearing this, Luo Yunchuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, revealing an interested expression: "Oh? Tell me more about it."

Zhang He cleared his throat, preparing to reveal all the intelligence he had carefully gathered.

"Hey! Of course I've heard!" A slightly eccentric voice chimed in; it was Tan Xiao, the vice-captain of the school team.

He wore a sly smile. "I just checked the college forum. I heard that some of the upperclassmen in charge of 'reception' messed up at this year's freshman welcome ceremony? Who were those good-for-nothings who embarrassed us so much?"

Zhang He's heart skipped a beat. Although the tone was joking, he couldn't help but take it to heart.

Official members of the school team have special privileges in the academy. If they really want to pull that group out for training, the instructors won't stop them. Zhang He even suspects that he might be dragged into it as well.

He quickly chuckled, offering a way out: "Vice Captain, you can't say that... cough, the main thing is that this year's freshmen are really something. I heard even Elder Xu, the academy's examiner, almost stumbled!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

If the mishap at the freshman welcome ceremony could be explained by carelessness and underestimating the opponent, then the fact that the examiners, who were experienced instructors or high-level spirit beasts, almost suffered a loss during the academy's formal assessment was by no means a coincidence!

Now, not only Luo Yunchuan, but all the regulars of the school team who had just returned from the secret realm and were somewhat behind on the news were truly interested, and their eyes were all focused on Zhang He.

"Name, strength? Do you have a general description of the contracted spirit beast and an assessment of its potential?" Luo Yunchuan asked calmly, posing the most crucial question.

Zhang He, with a "I've been waiting for you to ask this" expression, smugly took out a small information crystal card from his storage equipment and handed it over: "Captain, it's been prepared for a long time! This is all the public information about freshman Qin Ming."

He had previously confirmed with Qin Ming that the latter was not opposed to the school team. Besides, this was an honor!

Luo Yunchuan took the crystal card, scanned it with his mental energy, and the information quickly flooded into his mind.

At first, he frowned slightly. "Hasn't the specific rating of racial potential been officially confirmed yet?...Wait a minute?"

When the words "space system" came to mind, Luo Yunchuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the fingers holding the crystal card unconsciously tightened a little.

He suddenly raised his head and stared directly at Zhang He, as if confirming the authenticity of the information.

Zhang He nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with excitement.

Luo Yunchuan took a deep breath, pushed up his glasses, and unusually, did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he closed his eyes, seemingly digesting and thinking about this important information.

"Really? A space-based ability?!" The vice-captain also received the crucial information, his face filled with disbelief.

However, he quickly regained his nonchalant demeanor, stroking his chin and saying, "Even if he's one in a million with a spatial ability, at his current level, he probably wouldn't even be able to touch the edge of a spatial tear, right? At most, he could do things like storage or short-range teleportation. Zhang He, do you have to be so serious?"

He crossed his arms, his tone carrying the pride of a regular on the school team: "Which of us guys doesn't have a main spirit beast that's at least level 40? And we all earned our status through real battles in secret realms, not just those greenhouse-aged stats on paper. Challenging opponents of higher levels isn't unusual for us."

His implication was clear: in the face of an absolute difference in strength, unless a legendary young divine beast appeared, a newcomer, no matter how strange their talent, would not pose a threat to these battle-hardened regular team members.

He acknowledged Qin Ming's amazing potential, but his current strength was not enough for him to truly take him seriously.

Just then, Luo Yunchuan slowly opened his eyes. His gaze behind his glasses was deep and calm. He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but it overshadowed the vice-captain's words: "No, you only see the surface."

He glanced at the puzzled team members around him and patiently analyzed, "A spatial elemental beast, according to the data, is his second contracted spirit beast. With such a remarkable example before us, do you think he would choose a mediocre one when contracting his third spirit beast?"

His contract-making speed was so fast, without the slightest hesitation, clearly indicating that he had planned ahead and was determined to obtain his target. Therefore, his third spirit beast was definitely not simple.

He paused, then posed a more crucial question: "At the same time, given that a proud and rare space-type spirit beast is willing to form a contract with him and get along well, do you think his true strength or potential as the first spirit beast of the foundation is as simple as the data suggests—just an evolved form of a Xuan Shui Duck?"

It was rare for Luo Yunchuan to speak so much at once. His clear and logical analysis was like the sun breaking through the clouds, making the team members, who were initially somewhat skeptical, look serious.

Upon careful consideration, this analysis makes perfect sense and is far more credible than the unsubstantiated claims that supposedly caused Mr. Xu to suffer a setback.

"Then... Captain, what should we do?" one of the team members couldn't help but ask.

Luo Yunchuan's gaze returned to Zhang He, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable determination: "Zhang He, since you are acquainted with him, you will be responsible for making contact. When he is free, invite him to our school team's training ground for a formal meeting."

Ever since he discovered that even the captain was moved by Qin Ming's information, Zhang He couldn't hide his smugness. His beaming face made it clear to anyone that he had a close relationship with Qin Ming and was proud of him.

"Alright! Don't worry, Captain, I'll take care of this!" Zhang He patted his chest to assure him, then turned to send a message to Qin Ming.

Seeing that Zhang He was about to slip away, the vice-captain, who had just been humiliated by Luo Yunchuan, rolled his eyes, a sly smile spreading across his face, and grabbed Zhang He by the neck:

"Hey, let's not rush into the matter of the new genius, it's not going to run away anyway. What I'm really curious about is, while we were away, did you slack off?"

Have your combat skills gotten rusty? Let's go, have a spar in the training ground, and let me, your older brother, check out your 'improvement'!

Zhang He's bright smile froze instantly, then gradually crumbled, turning into a bitter expression.

"...Vice Captain, isn't there a need to be in such a hurry?"
