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

The journey went smoothly; to be precise, they didn't have a chance to contribute.

From takeoff to landing, I was enveloped in the energy of the Dreamy Winged Butterfly, drifting through the clouds and over the canyons.

Qin Ming occasionally peeked down, only to see the churning clouds and mist, occasionally revealing a glimpse of the mountain's outline before quickly disappearing behind him.

A whole day and night passed.

When his feet touched solid ground again, Qin Ming felt weak all over, not from exhaustion, but from the feeling of being adrift after a long period of inactivity.

Upon reaching its destination, the Dreamy Winged Butterfly's wings fluttered slightly, and a clear weariness flashed in its compound eyes.

Traveling thousands of miles while maintaining the skills of mental detection and aura concealment throughout the journey is not easy even for a seventh-tier spirit beast.

Along the way, one must guard against possible flying beasts and avoid the territories of certain powerful beings. This kind of exertion is even greater than fighting a hard battle.

So as soon as it landed, the Drunken Dream Butterfly hugged a gourd and drank heartily.

Qin Ming initially thought it was an energy drink, and assumed that something a seventh-tier spirit beast would drink must be good, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

The next second, a strong smell of alcohol wafted over.

The aroma was rich and strong, and could be smelled from several meters away; it was definitely aged liquor with a high alcohol content.

A few seconds later, the Dreamy Butterfly fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Its wings remained open, its six legs lay limply outstretched, its whiskers drooped on the ground, and it emitted a steady purring sound.

Qin Ming: "..."

Instructor Chen Zhen skillfully stepped forward, bent down, reached out, and summoned the Drunken Dream Butterfly back into the Spirit Control Space. The entire sequence of movements was fluid and seamless, clearly not his first time.

"That's just how he is, don't worry about it." Chen Zhen clapped his hands and said without changing his expression, "Have a drink to relax, and a good night's sleep will do the trick."

The exchange students looked at each other, wanting to complain but not daring to.

But there was no time to complain.

The building in front had already caught everyone's attention.

It was a huge complex of buildings built against the mountain, the main body of which was made of grayish-blue boulders, scattered in a staggered manner on the mountainside.

The tallest tower pierced the clouds, its top hidden in the mist, making its exact height impossible to discern. Intricate patterns were carved into its surface, with faint glimmers of light, clearly indicating it was covered in array formations.

The entire complex exudes an ancient and majestic aura, inspiring awe and reverence.

"Welcome to Azure Dragon Academy." A middle-aged man in an instructor's robe greeted them with a warm smile. "You will be spending the rest of your time here."

Several students stood behind him, presumably there to meet him. One of the tall, thin boys glanced at the exchange students, seemingly trying to identify them.

"These bracelets are for you." The instructor handed over a row of light blue bracelets. "They serve as your identification and also as proof of your points. You are free to explore and experiment, and earn points through various means such as winning battles and completing assessments."

Qin Ming took the bracelet and examined it carefully. The bracelet felt warm and smooth to the touch, made of neither gold nor jade, with a faint halo flowing across its surface. The moment he put it on, he felt a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy sweep across his body, as if it were reading some information.

"A week from now, the list of resources that can be redeemed with points will also start updating in real time," the instructor continued. "At that time, you will be able to see the resources that interest you and redeem them with your points. There are many types of resources, which should meet everyone's needs."

The list that can be redeemed with points—presumably all the things his spirit beasts wish for are in there? Qin Ming's eyes lit up slightly.

After everything was explained, the exchange students began their discussion.

A round-faced boy rubbed his hands excitedly: "I saw on the official website that the vice dean is currently on campus. I'm going to make my presence felt near the facilities by the principal's office! Maybe I can become a familiar face and get some pointers!"

This person clearly has some ulterior motives and is playing a clever game.

Another girl rolled her eyes at him: "When does the vice dean have time to hang around every day? You're just wasting your time trying to get attention."

"What if?"

"There's no 'what if'."

Qin Ming didn't care.

He has never been particularly enthusiastic about things like "making his presence known" or "getting familiar with people"; he prefers to let things take their course and believes that you can't force it.

Moreover, due to their attributes, his spirit beasts generally cannot find mentors who are extremely compatible with them.

Over time, he himself became more indifferent to worldly affairs.

"Chef Huang, do you have any recommendations?" Qin Ming asked the only acquaintance he knew in the area.

Chef Huang, who was standing to the side, leisurely surveying his surroundings, turned his gaze away upon hearing this and lowered his voice, saying:

"I know you came for the Dragonscale Shrimp and Dragon Breath Snail, but that back beach isn't open to the public; it's a forbidden area of ​​the Azure Dragon Academy, specifically used for cultivating rare creatures. You might want to try your luck at the front beach; it's open water there, and you can occasionally find some good stuff."

Qin Ming nodded and made a mental note of it.

"For battles, similar to the Magic City Academy, you'll have navigation on your wristband. There are various types of arena challenges available, from low to high levels, to choose from."

Chef Huang continued, "If you can break a record and gain the qualification to experience the Azure Dragon Stele, this trip won't have been in vain. Compared to that, other resources are just trivial gains."

Azure Dragon Stele?

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow.

"That's the treasure of Azure Dragon Academy. It's said that infusing it with dragon energy can temper one's physique and is extremely beneficial to both spirit beasts and humans. However, obtaining the qualification is difficult; you need to achieve certain results in the arena. I don't know the specific standards, so you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Qin Ming understood.

Chef Huang figured he had given enough instructions, so he added, "It'll be lunchtime in an hour. Come to the second kitchen, give me your name, and I'll give you special treatment."

As expected of a chef, he couldn't stop talking about his old profession.

However, Qin Ming did manage to obtain a sufficient amount of information from this local.

After saying goodbye to Chef Huang, Qin Ming decided to first explore the arena.

He walked along the main road of the campus, observing his surroundings as he went.

The architectural style of Canglong Academy is completely different from that of Shanghai. Shanghai is a combination of modern and classical styles, while Canglong is rugged and heavy, with huge stones piled up, showing the traces of time everywhere.

On the way, he soon encountered several mythical beasts with distinctive local characteristics.

The Arctic dog, pure white with thick fur, crouches at its owner's feet with its tongue lolling out;

The silly roe deer, with its round eyes, curiously observed the people coming and going, occasionally hopping around a couple of times;

The Ice-Tailed Fox, its tail gleaming with a faint blue light, gracefully followed behind its master.

The snow-covered reindeer had tiny ice crystals clinging to their antlers, making a tinkling sound as they walked...

It's all ice-based.

Fire-type spirit beasts are rare in the Azure Dragon Academy in the north. Due to geographical limitations, they are generally poorly bred and have weak combat power. Most of them are used as mascots to please the eye.

So as soon as Qin Ming entered, he noticed that many young people around him were focusing their attention on Huo Lin in his arms.

Huo Lin was currently dozing in Qin Ming's arms. Its fiery red fur stood out starkly against the gray environment, making it look like a moving flame.

Those gazes held curiosity, amazement, and a hint of...disdain?

Qin Ming felt a heavy weight in his heart. This person didn't have a good temper. He was afraid that some fool might come knocking on his door to provoke him.

He quickly summoned Cang Xuan to help quell the situation.

A flash of light, and a huge white wolf appeared beside him.

Cangxuan planted its four paws on the ground, raised its head slightly, and calmly surveyed its surroundings with its amber-gold eyes.

He did nothing, just stood there quietly, but the imposing presence of his high position instantly overwhelmed the entire room.

Holy crap!

"That wolf—"

"Fourth rank? A newly born fourth rank? This aura is definitely fourth rank!"

A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.

All eyes that were originally focused on Huo Lin shifted to Cang Xuan.

"Looks like this exchange has attracted someone extraordinary," a boy in a Azure Dragon uniform muttered.

The person next to him chimed in, "But it's a wood element...that's a bit of a shame."

"What's wrong with the Wood element?"

"Wood type is countered by ice type. We have the most ice type here, so if he fights in the arena, he will be at a natural disadvantage against an ice type opponent. So what if he's fourth-tier? The elemental advantage is still there."

"That's true..."

The whispers reached Qin Ming's ears, but his expression remained unchanged.

There are many ice-type spirit beasts in this place, including some powerful groups that have good relations with humans and have become their beast-taming partners.

Therefore, subconsciously, there is a certain underestimation of the Wood element, which is countered by the Wood element.

They do not deny the important role of wood-type spirit beasts in support, but the mark Qin Ming wears clearly indicates that he is a combat-type.

Powerful wood-type fighting weapons are rare.

Qin Ming could hear the murmurs around him, but he didn't bother to explain. Cang Xuan beside him walked with composure.
