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

Qin Ming already possessed sufficient knowledge of advanced formations; he was just one step away from mastering them.

He had already mastered the theories of array textures, energy balance formulas, and material property parameters during his time at the Shanghai Academy.

But it has to be said that the free resources, the constant supervision, and the continuous energy supply from the surrounding area made Qin Ming extremely happy.

The ability to dedicate oneself wholeheartedly without any worries is the key to this success.

Qin Ming was overjoyed, and even more so because the record-breaking points arrived quickly, more than he had expected.

Qin Ming stared at the number on his bracelet for a moment, stunned. He had thought it was just a record-breaking double points, but the amount he received was more than four times the standard amount.

It is said that the number is the result of multiple factors, including originality and cross-level advantages.

So he had already secured the meal allowance he had originally estimated would require four assessments.

Qin Ming was in high spirits and looked up at the proctor: "Can I continue to challenge myself today?"

The proctor's lips twitched.

Why bring on such a nerve-wracking experience? Is he tired of his mundane and unexciting daily life?

Wait a minute, it seems the next few games aren't under his control, that's great! Great news!

The examiner's expression returned to calm, and he smiled lightly and sincerely: "Alright. Here's a token; you can use it to skip levels and go straight to the top. The examiners at the top will arrange your next challenge."

He took out a bluish-gray token from his sleeve, on which was engraved a seal script character “特” (Te), with flowing patterns around the edges.

Qin Ming smiled and declined, saying, "It's alright. I just had some insights today and broke through to a higher level. It's better to consolidate them by experiencing them more."

The proctor looked at his smile and was speechless.

What can one experience and solidify from this sweeping assessment? The thrill of crushing others, and the strengthening of one's Dao heart?

Recalling the boy's previous emphasis on points and his pickiness about free resources, the proctor added with a strange expression, "The current record for the top floor of the first day's tower challenge is a qualified half-step high-level formation. If you can surpass it, the academy's treasure trove will be opened for you. The things inside cannot be exchanged for points."

"Is that so!" Qin Ming's eyes lit up. He snatched the token he had just looked down on, his movements so swift it was as if he was afraid the proctor would change his mind. "Ahem, you're right! I need to maintain my best condition to face the challenges ahead. I'll skip some of the levels if I can!"

Invigilator: "..."

Qin Ming clasped his hands in thanks and carefully picked up the palm-sized Bagua array from the platform.

Once the array crystal reaches an advanced level, it acquires a certain degree of sentience. He held it in his palm and could feel its vitality.

Although crystallization still dissipates energy, it also absorbs energy from the outside to replenish itself.

Therefore, as long as the external environment is not too extreme, it can exist for a long time.

Qin Ming examined it with satisfaction for a while, then put it away.

Countless eyes were focused on the array crystal. Even though the exam was over and everything had settled, the entire examination hall remained so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

They watched helplessly as the unique array crystal was packed into a backpack and disappeared from sight.

Although it is harmless at the moment, no one can forget the commotion that swept through the area just seconds ago, like a demolition.

Not only the other candidates, but even the proctors were tempted!

The advanced formation that combines light and darkness is both an opposing attribute and a rare attribute, making it an absolute rarity that has never appeared in the records of the Azure Dragon Academy.

For array crystals that have reached a high level, amplification is already the most basic standard feature. I wonder what other hidden uses they may have?

However, out of respect for personal privacy, they cannot ask directly.

Some unique, non-public formations are the private property and trump cards of spirit masters. Unless they are willing to share them, others cannot inquire about them.

Qin Ming didn't linger any longer. He slung his backpack over his shoulder, hung the token on his waist, and turned to walk towards the stairwell.

Behind him, dozens of eyes watched his figure gradually disappear into the distance.

The proctor withdrew his gaze, looked at the dazed and overwhelmed "lucky ones" in the examination room, cleared his throat, and said, "There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Now you all know you need to work harder, right?"

No one answered.

"Stop bombarding us all day long. Look at others; they have an excellent mindset and are always strict with themselves, giving their all in every assessment!"

The proctor almost believed what he said, but no one responded. He sighed and waved the group out the door.

The spiritual energy enveloped the examinees, who floated out one after another and landed in the corridor.

The proctor closed the door and turned to look at the empty examination room.

After a regular assessment, the array platform is always left with various scorch marks, residues, and lingering array patterns. But today, all of that kid's array absorbed them!

All the open-source energy was completely depleted, so much so that there was no need to clean it up.

The proctor stroked his chin thoughtfully: "This kid has quite an appetite for formations, huh? He accepts all kinds of energy without hesitation?"

He walked to the window and looked up at the upper levels of the tower. The top floor was on the seventh floor, from where he could only see the spiraling staircase and the layers of ceilings.

"Should I go up and take a look? It's just too intriguing."

……

"The next examinees may begin entering the examination hall... wait."

Suddenly, an announcement blared from the first floor of the tower, its sound echoing throughout the waiting area. The examinees queuing to enter looked up and exchanged bewildered glances.

"The examination in Examination Room 1 has been suspended. Please move to Examination Room 7."

To reiterate, the examination in examination room 1 has ceased. Candidates are requested to proceed to examination room 7.

The waiting area immediately erupted in chaos.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. I've never encountered anything like this before."

"Has something gone wrong? Did something big explode inside?"

"Didn't you hear that? Don't believe or spread rumors!"

One test-taker stomped his foot, then was suddenly reminded by his companion that he had purchased pre-exam services. So he went to look for them. "You said you knew everything about the exam, so what's going on inside?"

Exam preparation: "..."

He struggled between professional ethics and talking nonsense because he was asked questions that were beyond his scope.

Before they could come to a conclusion, their brief silence was seen through.

"Hey, you didn't know either? Well, your information on exam preparation isn't very up-to-date!"

Under the skeptical gazes of those around him, the exam counselor took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Don't argue with customers; always keep a smile on your face.

"Changes to exam venues at the last minute are rare, but please don't worry, the invigilators are all professionals and will ensure the smooth running of the process!"

This junior has a decent foundation and the ability, but his mentality is unstable and he needs encouragement.

After a sincere reassurance, the junior student breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good..."

But his companion, having seen something, suddenly interrupted him, exclaiming excitedly, "My God, look! Those dizzy-looking people, could they be the ones going to take the test?!"

The junior student, whom I had just calmed down, trembled all over. After a long while, he slowly turned his head, his eyes full of doubt and accusation.

Exam preparation: "..."
