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

Inside the testing room, under the soft light of the psionic lamps, Qin Ming's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

His fingers flew across the floating light screen, disassembling and reassembling array structures, and spiritual energy nodes were lit up or extinguished in the virtual space like stars.

The difficulty of the questions has increased, but overall they are still within our control. It's just that Little Fatty...

"The intersection in the lower left corner is blacked out."

The moment the screen flashed, Little Fatty's confident voice rang in his mind.

The occurrence of this event was truly beyond Qin Ming's control, and his fingers paused.

Little Fatty lay beside him, his big eyes fixed on the screen, completely unaware of the implications of his actions. This was already the third time he had "interrupted."

The first two times, Qin Ming confirmed Xiao Pang's intuition—it was correct.

This time, Qin Ming took a deep breath and still did not immediately adopt the suggestion, but instead re-examined it according to his own procedures.

Three minutes later, he stared at the verification result and fell silent.

Three strikes and you're out. Otherwise, should you just give up?

"How...did you see that?" Qin Ming couldn't help but ask telepathically.

Little Fatty tilted his head, seemingly finding it difficult to express himself in words, and finally said simply and directly, "Use your eyes to see."

Qin Ming never expected to experience such a scathing answer himself. He shook his head, no longer distracted, focusing on the assessment.

He looked at the big screen.

Sun Yi's progress bar is still in the lead, reaching 57% with a 96% accuracy rate. Qin Ming's own progress is at 45% with a 100% accuracy rate. The gap is narrowing. But Sun Yi's speed is not slow either.

A glint flashed in Qin Ming's eyes. He no longer insisted on the complete verification process, but instead used Xiao Pang's intuition as a clue to quickly locate the problem area before conducting targeted verification.

This caused the speed to skyrocket.

Question 10: Composite Defense Array.

Little Fatty: "The top right corner, where the third and fourth spiritual energy lines intersect, is grayed out."

Qin Ming quickly located the location, and sure enough, two spiritual energies of different attributes had formed a minor conflict there, which would lead to structural fatigue if they operated for a long time.

correct.

Question 12: Mobile stealth array.

Little Fatty: "The rotating part in the middle flashes."

Qin Ming focused on the core array eye—the rotation frequency has a periodic error of 0.2 seconds, which will cause the concealment effect to fluctuate regularly.

correct.

Question 15...

When Sun Yi looked up again, she almost couldn't catch her breath.

In the twenty minutes he was engrossed in his work, Qin Ming's progress bar had soared from 36% to 50%, while his own was only at 58%. What alarmed him even more was that Qin Ming's accuracy rate remained a staggering 100%.

"How is this possible..." Sun Yi gritted his teeth, forcing himself to concentrate.

But sweat began to bead on his forehead.

He'd seen geniuses before, but Qin Ming's sudden burst of speed... it didn't make sense. Unless... he was cheating?

He glanced at the inconspicuous turtle on Qin Ming's shoulder.

"Spirit beast assistance? How could a spirit beast possibly understand formations?" Sun Yi shook his head, dismissing this absurd idea.

But the next second, he saw Little Fatty raise his paw and point to a certain spot on the screen, and Qin Ming immediately turned his gaze there and started operating the screen at lightning speed.

Sun Yi's hand trembled, and the spiritual energy model he was building almost collapsed.

He quickly took a deep breath, but his composure was already crumbling. He repeatedly checked the next few questions, his speed noticeably decreasing, and he even made a basic mistake on a medium-difficulty variation problem—his accuracy dropped to 94%.

On the other side, Qin Ming and Xiao Pang's teamwork became increasingly seamless.

"This question is a little different," Qin Ming transmitted his voice, his brows furrowing slightly.

On the screen was a formation structure he had never seen before, far more complex than the previous problems. The spiritual energy lines intertwined into a three-dimensional network, containing at least seven nested loops and three dynamically adjustable modules.

"Is this... a variant of the adaptive attack array?" Qin Ming tried to categorize it, but couldn't find a completely matching template.

Little Fatty fell silent for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"So many layers," he finally said, "but the innermost layer has no luster, it's so dull."

Qin Ming was no longer concerned about what the little fat boy had actually seen.

He zoomed in to the maximum, focusing on the core of the formation. There was indeed a tiny structural anomaly there, but if Little Fatty hadn't pointed it out, he probably wouldn't have noticed it until he had checked all the outer layers.

Furthermore, this anomaly appears to be intentionally designed, making it difficult to distinguish from some special formations that deliberately incorporate asymmetrical structures.

"Verification is needed," Qin Ming said in a low voice, and began to simulate the injection of spiritual energy.

Three minutes later, his expression changed.

That's not a design feature, but a fatal flaw. If activated in the standard way, the entire array will collapse after activation due to internal spiritual energy conflicts, and may even trigger a reverse explosion.

Qin Ming marked the question and submitted the answer. The progress bar jumped to 62%, and the 100% accuracy rate remained firm.

At this moment, Sun Yi's progress is 63%, with an accuracy rate of 94%.

Surpassing is just around the corner.

……

In the dark room, the Snow-Treading Sable had fully stood up.

His tall, slender body stood ramrod straight, his snow-white fur gleaming faintly with a blue hue in the dim light of the monitor screen.

As the guardian spirit beast of the formation system, he had seen too many genius students, but the scene before him still made him feel incredible.

Having been warned by Elder Sun, he had anticipated Qin Ming's exceptional talent, but he had never considered the possibility of a spirit beast.

Although he couldn't hear the spirit beast's telepathic communication with the spirit master, he could still see the little turtle's arrogant pointing and the rapidly rising results on the screen.

"It's not a coincidence," the Snow-Treading Sable said in a voice only it could hear. "That tortoise... it was 'seeing' the essence of the formation."

Spirit beasts perceive the world in a completely different way than humans. Human spirit masters rely on theories, formulas, and systematic training; while high-level spirit beasts can often directly "see" the form of spiritual energy flow.

However, please note that this is a high-level one, which should be irrelevant to Qin Ming's current stage.

What kind of spirit beast is this? It has such strong innate ability in formations. If it could be promoted in the formation system... wouldn't that be a great improvement for the entire academy and even the Spirit Master Association?

The Snow-Treading Sable stood up, its long body scrutinizing the turtle... What kind of turtle is this? I don't think I've ever seen one before.

The Snow-Treading Sable frowned its delicate little eyebrows and looked again... It had never seen anything like it before.

The Snow-Treading Sable closed its eyes and extended its senses into the assessment room.

He "saw" the steady and orderly flow of spiritual energy around Qin Ming, and he also "saw" the slightly chaotic energy field of Sun Yi.

But when he turned his attention to the little turtle—

"hiss……"

The Snow-Treading Sable suddenly opened its eyes, its pale golden pupils shrinking to thin slits.

Spatial attributes!

Although it was very faint, the unique spiritual energy fluctuations were unmistakable; they were cold, sharp, and had a strange texture with a certain dimensional folding.

You can't go wrong!

The Snow-Treading Sable squatted down with its long body, its back view inexplicably tinged with a sense of melancholy and vicissitude.

Spatial-attribute spirit beasts are already hard to find, let alone one that can demonstrate such sensitivity and interest in formations at this stage...

The Snow-Treading Sable's tail twitched unconsciously, a mixture of surprise and speechlessness.

Many complex array designs that require extensive calculations and experimentation are simply a matter of dimensional reduction for Qin Ming.

The competition wasn't over yet, but the Snow-Treading Spirit Sable already knew what to expect.
