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

The morning mist had not yet completely dissipated, but the school team's private training field was already bustling with activity.

The morning light pierced through the mist, casting dappled shadows on the bluestone training ground.

At the edge of the field, several stone statues of different shapes appeared and disappeared in the morning light; they were commemorative statues of outstanding members of the school team and their main spirit beasts throughout the ages.

Xiao Lie stood with his arms crossed, leaning against a statue of a golden-winged roc poised for flight, his brow furrowed. "What do you guys think? Should we give that good buddy Qin Ming recommended a little warning?"

His voice was exceptionally clear in the empty training field, "No freshman has ever dared to do something like this! He didn't even show his face, just sent a friend to accept our school team's invitation!"

His words echoed in the morning mist; some people showed expressions of agreement, while others shook their heads in disapproval.

"It's probably not that bad," Wen Jinyu, a mild-mannered member of the school team, walked over from the equipment rack. "Geniuses always have some privileges. The other party probably has something to do and didn't explicitly refuse."

He always spoke with a warm and welcoming smile, and this moment was no exception.

"If we are too harsh in our approach, it will make us seem intolerant. Besides, Qin Ming's performance among the freshmen is truly outstanding. Such a genius deserves more patience."

Xiao Lie snorted coldly and straightened up. He was burly and half a head taller than Wen Jinyu. He looked down at her, his tone full of resentment.

"We can't let people look down on us. Everyone saw that Tianze Shenglu was studying in the academy's treasure pavilion and skill collection hall yesterday. What reason could such a big shot have to visit a freshman? They couldn't even come up with a better excuse!"

He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his voice rising involuntarily: "Even such a powerful spirit beast is so disciplined, Qin Ming must have gotten arrogant after showing off a little! We haven't seen his spirit beast in the arena or challenge tower these past two days! What does that mean? It means he hasn't been cultivating seriously at all!"

Wen Jinyu was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "You don't have the authority to investigate, so... did you actually go and stake out the place?"

He knew Xiao Lie's personality all too well. Although this teammate was impatient, he never spoke without reason.

Xiao Lie blushed slightly, turned his head away awkwardly, and lowered his voice: "The movements of such influential figures are tracked and reported on on the academy forum. I just happened to come across it; I didn't pay any special attention!"

After saying that, he touched his nose.

"These kinds of rumors are probably not very credible," Wen Jinyu said, shaking her head slightly.

"I don't believe that someone with such an unstable mindset can be so far ahead of others on the path of cultivation. Qin Ming must have extraordinary abilities to stand out among the new students."

Xiao Lie's expression changed several times. He gritted his teeth and finally said, "I mentioned it to the captain, and the captain took it to heart. He checked through the academy's access permissions and ultimately confirmed that it was true!"

Wen Jinyu finally frowned. In an academy with abundant cultivation resources, practicing cultivation in isolation was hardly the best approach.

Even if it's a breakthrough, they should apply for a spiritual energy room to improve efficiency. They don't believe that a prominent figure among the freshmen wouldn't even have this many points.

That leaves only one possibility: Qin Ming has truly been slacking off these past few days!

This conclusion weighed heavily on Wen Jinyu's mind. He browsed through the forum posts with pictures and evidence, and combined them with Xiao Lie's revelations, finally understanding why the other party had tried to intimidate him from the very beginning.

When Xiao Lie first heard about the newcomer's deeds, he was filled with curiosity and goodwill towards Qin Ming.

"What does the captain mean?" Wen Jinyu asked, her voice tinged with seriousness.

If Xiao Lie's previous remarks represented the captain's thoughts, then he would have to consider them carefully.

"The captain didn't say anything." Xiao Lie sighed, which was why he was even angrier now.

In his opinion, Qin Ming and Zeng Guian should be given a good beating to show them how high the sky is and how difficult and arduous the path of cultivation is.

He angrily kicked a pebble at his feet: "This Zeng Guian, he looks quite honest, but I didn't expect him to be such a bad friend who led Qin Ming astray."

As he spoke, he began to roll up his sleeves, as if he were about to deploy his troops, clearly indicating that he was determined to take matters into his own hands if he could not get support from others.

Wen Jinyu remained silent; this time, he did not try to persuade him further. His gaze fell upon the entrance to the training ground, where a considerable number of new students had already gathered to observe.

But clearly, the figure he hoped to see was not there.

……

Meanwhile, several miles away in the student dormitory area, Qin Ming was awakened by an urgent phone call.

"Qin Ming, am I really going? But I have a bad feeling about this! And my premonitions are usually very accurate!"

Qin Ming rubbed his throbbing temples, forcing himself to sound cheerful, "What could possibly happen at the academy?"

"Besides, isn't the school team something you've always aspired to? Why does it feel like a den of dragons and tigers?"

"Don't scare yourself!"

Qin Ming offered a few words of comfort, and seeing silence on the other end, he hung up the phone.

It's not that he lacks brotherly affection. He was still patient an hour ago, and even more patient during the call two hours ago, but by this call, his patience had truly been completely worn out.

God knows what time he didn't go to sleep last night after working overtime.

He stayed up all night to help Cang Xuan plan the pond project in the backyard.

Not only must the capacity of the array be calculated, but the combination of various aquatic plants must also be considered, and it must be ensured that no animal riots will be triggered again.

I had just fallen asleep when I was greeted by Zeng Guian's punctual wake-up call.

As for?

Before Qin Ming could figure it out, the elegant figure of the Heavenly Sacred Deer appeared at the door, its antlers shimmering with a bright halo.

"Yo yo yo, good morning, Qin Ming!"

Tianze Shenglu's tone was unusually light, "It's just that you don't seem to have rested well, but it's okay, I can help you get back into shape!"

In stark contrast to Qin Ming's listless state was Tianze Shenglu's condition.

It's normal for spirit beasts to be full of energy, but this confident, composed, and even somewhat excited state seems a bit strange on the sacred deer.

Qin Ming remembered that Cang Xuan had specifically reminded him yesterday that the Holy Deer was not in a good state; it seemed to have something on its mind and looked anxious when it left.

But seeing his current state, Qin Ming was confused. This didn't match what Cang Xuan had said at all! What was going on?

The Heavenly Deer happily recharged Qin Ming's energy.

Of course, he wouldn't reveal that he had created a clone yesterday, studying ancient books in the Treasure Pavilion and familiarizing himself with various teaching procedures in the Skills Hall. This was the first time Lu Sheng had ever worked so hard.

Fortunately, his efforts paid off—today, he is an enhanced version of the academic superstar mentor, Lu!

Lu, who is well-prepared and has an excellent service attitude, deserves a little reward.

The sacred deer blinked its clear, large eyes, looking at Qin Ming expectantly...
