Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 207 Challenging the Geniuses of Various Martial Arts Universities in Shanghai (4675 words)

"Three hundred and eighty-nine million."

Professor Zhou Yang suddenly said something.

Chen Fan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Yang said, "The repair cost for these robots that you just damaged will be at least 389 million."

"..." Chen Fan was petrified.

Everyone was stunned.

Is this top martial arts university in Shanghai really a university?

This must be a bandit's den!

Chen Fan stared into Zhou Yang's eyes and said, "You brought me here, saying you wanted to give me special training, then activated this batch of robots to fight me, and in the end, you made me pay 389 million?"

"I have no money, but you can take my life!"

Zhang Chen, the chubby guy, and the others were stunned.

These mentors in front of us are all at least at the sixth rank.

How could Chen Fan talk to his mentor like that?

Aren't you afraid of getting slapped flat?

"How dare you talk to your mentor like that?" Zhou Yang rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't say you had to pay for it."

"I'm just telling you that due to limitations in materials, we cannot mass-produce such powerful robots."

"From now on, all students will need to pay one million Alliance Coins to train in a similar training ground for three hours at a time."

"And if the robot is damaged, compensation will be required."

Chen Fan glanced at the nearby training grounds, but there wasn't a single person in sight.

"No wonder..."

Chen Fan said, "The school is so corrupt, no wonder no students come to the training ground to train."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

A million for one training session? That's robbery!

Moreover, if it's damaged, the compensation is so high; it's better to just challenge a classmate.

Zhou Yang said nonchalantly, "You will be brought here for special training by your mentors, and the school will cover all the expenses."

"But if you come to train on your own, you'll have to pay for it yourself."

"These robots aren't so easily damaged..."

"Chen Fan is an exception this time; I misjudged his strength."

"So the robot wasn't activated with its shield."

At this point, Zhou Yang clapped his hands and said, "Alright, form your own teams, two people per team, and take turns going into the training ground to train."

"Practice makes perfect is always the best and fastest way to improve!"

"Chen Fan, come with me. I'll teach you how to condense a Star Power Armor first."

……

The special training for students admitted through the recommendation system is not complicated.

For students below the second rank, aside from practical combat, their instructors teach them how to break through to the second rank.

Students at the second rank and above receive more frequent practical training, and their instructors primarily guide them in their attempt to reach the third rank.

As for Chen Fan...

Chen Fan only fought one match in the training ground before learning how to condense star power armor.

For the next week, he didn't go to school, but instead focused on breeding animals at Shop No. 9.

It's not that he doesn't want to go to school.

Instead, the school overturned the training plan it had set for him and is still researching a new training plan.

Instructor Zhou Yang originally intended to improve Chen Fan's combat skills through high-density practical training.

However, the previous training plan for Chen Fan positioned him at the fourth rank.

Chen Fan has just broken through to the fifth rank. Despite being full of flaws, he fought against many opponents and almost destroyed fifteen robots with strength comparable to the fifth rank.

The school had to revise its training plan.

Seven days later...

Chen Fan, who was still breeding animals at Shop No. 9, received a call from his mentor, Zhou Yang.

"Chen Fan, get ready. In three days, go to Donghua Martial Arts University in Shanghai and challenge the freshmen and sophomores."

"Professor, can't I just continue playing against robots? Why do I have to provoke other martial arts universities?"

"This isn't a provocation, it's a challenge! Firstly, to enhance the prestige of our No. 1 Martial Arts University, and secondly, to hone your combat skills and awareness."

"Are the school leaders worried that I'll damage too many robots and the repair costs will be too high?"

"What kind of talk is that!"

"What happens after we defeat Donghua Martial Arts University?"

"After that, we went to the entrance of Shanghai Martial Arts University and challenged the freshmen and sophomores of Shanghai Martial Arts University... This school and our school are not on good terms because our name is very similar to theirs, but we have the word 'first' in our name. For many years, they have been trying to change our 'first' title."

"Change 'first'? Change it to what?"

"Change it to 'second'."

"..."

"When you go there this time, don't hold back. Beat them into submission and make them shut up."

"Professor, if I'm made to go through each school one by one, won't the students and teachers there see me as a thorn in their side?"

"You're overthinking it... Challenges happen every year. Every year, gifted students from various schools might go to other schools to block their doors. It's a tactic that all schools acknowledge."

"Do all schools recognize it?"

"Well, if you block the gates of Donghua Martial Arts University and challenge their first and second-year students, and no one defeats you, they will need to contribute a lot of resources to our school. Conversely, if you lose, our school will need to give them a lot of resources."

"That's great? Is there any for me?"

"I'll give you one-fifth... Hmm, so confident? You don't even know those schools, yet you're so sure you can win?"

"Only one-fifth?"

"Be content, kid. One-fifth of the resources is enough for an average student to cultivate for a year... I'm talking about including beast taming."

"Okay... By the way, why challenge freshmen and sophomores? Why not juniors?"

"Among the top martial arts universities in Shanghai, there are sixth-grade students in their third year. I'm afraid you'll get beaten to death."

"You're so kind to me..."

"Even in your second year, you can't let your guard down. At Donghua Martial Arts University, there are two students who have reached the second level of the fifth rank. If you were to face those two, you'd be in for a tough fight!"

"Professor, I suspect there's a mole in our school... They deliberately sent me there to get beaten up, and after that, our school sent them a large amount of resources. You must tell the school leaders and catch this traitor!"

"What nonsense! You don't need to belittle yourself. The fight you had with the robot before was no weaker than a fifth-grade second-level expert, and that was without using your beast. If you add your beast, no one below the third level of Donghua Martial Arts is your match."

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Fan frowned.

He actually prefers to stay here and raise animals.

Every day, they train eight or ten tamed beasts, which, under the guidance of their master tamers, then enter various secret realms to begin slaying monsters...

Watching the system energy surge rapidly was an unparalleled feeling!

However, to be fair, his cultivation time was indeed too short.

All told, it's only been three months since the first day I transmigrated.

His practical experience was actually far inferior to that of Ye Hao and Chu Xuan.

Without Xiao Hei's "Mental Spikes" assistance, without senior brother Bai Tianyu teaching him the Nine Heavens Severing Blades, without the powerful armor he wore, and without the Heavens Severing Demon Blade...

He was like a brute with immense strength!

When I was fighting robots at school before, I didn't dare to use skills like Lightning Flash, and that battle was very frustrating!

Not to mention the mentors outside, even Chen Fan himself felt that he had a lot of star power, but when he fought, he was full of flaws!

He hasn't mastered the Nine Heavenly Severing Blades yet;

I haven't learned any fist or palm techniques;

He doesn't even know footwork;

If it weren't for copying Gale Thunder Beast's "Thunder Spear" skill, even if he could defeat those robots in that battle, he would probably have been seriously injured!

System energy can enhance cultivation level, star power, and spiritual power.

But it doesn't improve practical experience.

Going to those martial arts universities to take on challenges is indeed a good idea.

It seems that Shangguan Canglong fought his way through all the high schools in Shanghai, and eventually went to many other major cities, eventually reaching Donghai City.

So...

Go ahead and fight!

Chen Fan snapped out of his daze and glanced at the beast in front of him.

[Monster Name]: Lava Fire Spirit

[Combat Power Level]: Level 15 (Boss Level)

[Race Level]: Intermediate Extraordinary

[Monster Attribute]: Fire

This beast is one of Su Wenqin's two beasts.

These past few days, Su Wenqin has been going to Shop No. 9 every day.

Old Zhou was almost driven crazy by her.

She knew that Chen Fan's animal breeding skills were extraordinary, but she couldn't bring herself to ask him for help, so she bothered Old Zhou every day.

Old Zhou and his colleagues drafted several animal breeding plans, but after much discussion, they were unable to reach a consensus.

In the end, they could only turn to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was naturally very willing to breed animals... although he didn't have any good feelings towards Su Wenqin.

Now, every time he raises animals, he has to invite Old Zhou and Old Zhao over and explain each step and the effects of combining various materials. He wants to use these things to keep Old Zhou and Old Zhao occupied so that they won't "steal his business".

Each animal breeding session provides enough data for Elder Zhou and Elder Zhao to study for several days.

If they spend their time researching these things, they naturally won't have much time to breed animals.

In this way, the task of breeding beasts in Shop No. 9 fell entirely into Chen Fan's hands.

None of the tamed beasts could escape Chen Fan's "clutches".

Chen Fan watched as Elder Zhao and Elder Zhou continued their discussion, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"The environment in which the Lava Fire Spirit lives is too special. It is suitable for living in underground lava, but there is no such environment near Shanghai."

"That's why the Lava Fire Spirit has been listless and lethargic for so long!"

"I was also helpless before, so I could only let Wenqin take the Lava Fire Spirit to a secret realm 500 miles away... There is a lava area in that secret realm, which is suitable for the Lava Fire Spirit to live and cultivate."

"It doesn't need to be so complicated now. Xiao Fan's Star Gathering Array can actually absorb the fire-attribute star power in the world!"

"I also have two Star Gathering Arrays that absorb fire-attribute star power, but compared to Xiao Fan's Star Gathering Array... cough cough, I'm ashamed!"

"These training grounds in our Shop No. 9 need some adjustments. Each training ground needs to be equipped with a star-gathering array of the corresponding attribute. That way..."

"This won't work. Setting up this kind of star-gathering array requires a huge amount of crystal cores; the consumption is too great!"

"Alright, prepare one star-gathering array for each attribute. For special beasts like the Lava Fire Spirit, the customer will need to pay the relevant fees before they can be sent to the corresponding attribute training ground."

……

Just as the four elders were discussing this incessantly...

Chen Fan had already taken the large pot that had been simmering for a long time off and placed it aside to cool.

Outside the training field, Su Wenqin saw Chen Fan carrying down a large pot and nervously rubbed her hands together!

"That's not right..."

Chen Fan touched his chin.

Old Zhou immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"I mean..." Chen Fan pointed at the Lava Fire Spirit and said, "This thing can bathe in lava and drink lava like it's water."

"The ingredients used to cook it don't need to be cooled at all."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The four elders nodded repeatedly.

Chen Fan immediately waved to the Lava Fire Spirit.

The lava fire spirit, which had been lying on the ground like a dead dog, reluctantly got up and "floated" over like a fireball.

Open your mouth.

Chen Fan picked up the large pot.

The Lava Fire Spirit looked at Chen Fan as if he were an idiot.

Chen Fan: "..."

He frowned, turned his head to look at Su Wenqin outside the training field, and shouted, "Make it open its mouth!"

"Or I'll pry its mouth open!"

"..." Su Wenqin said with a dark face, "Huo Ling'er, listen to him, open your mouth and eat those things."

The Lava Fire Spirit then slowly opened its mouth.

Chen Fan immediately picked up the large pot and poured it into the fire spirit's big mouth.

"Snoring!"

A large pot of steaming hot "paste" was poured into Huo Ling's mouth.

Fire Spirit swallowed it in one gulp and let out a burp.

"That's a good girl!"

As Chen Fan spoke, he gently patted the Lava Fire Spirit's head and channeled 40 points of system energy into it.

"call!"

The moment his hand touched the Lava Fire Spirit, a burst of flames immediately spread from his palm to his entire body!

Old Zhou and Old Zhao didn't react much.

Chen Fan was the same.

Chen Fan's body trembled slightly, and the flames on his body were directly dispelled by the Star Power Armor.

Soon after, the flames on the Lava Fire Spirit's body surged!

"We're about to break through!"

Old Zhou and the others immediately retreated quickly!

Chen Fan, however, remained standing in the same spot.

A level 15 beast taming skill of moderate extraordinary quality could not possibly pose a threat to him, who was already a fifth-rank beast.

"boom!"

Flames burst forth from the Lava Fire Spirit.

Chen Fan moved his right hand slightly, and the shield on his wrist activated, creating a barrier that blocked the surging flames.

"That's good, you're level 16 now."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the training ground.

Today we have trained ten beasts, which means we have completed the basic task.

Let's go back and help Xiaobai and the others, and break through our own limits.

Seven days ago, Xiaobai and the others were still struggling to control that enormous power.

But after seven days of training, Xiaobai and the others have now adapted to the surge in strength.

If we help them raise their combat power level and race level by 1, they will be more than capable of dealing with the early stages of the fifth rank in various martial arts universities.

"Th...thank you!"

As soon as she stepped out of the training field, Su Wenqin blushed and thanked Chen Fan.

"You are welcome."

Chen Fan said calmly, "I received the money."

Su Wenqin: "..."

Just then, a figure dressed in black appeared silently behind Chen Fan!

"Um?"

Chen Fan's expression changed slightly. Without turning his head, he launched a flying back kick that struck the man squarely in the chest!

"boom!"

The man screamed and flew backward like a sack of potatoes!

Upon seeing this, the guards at the entrance of the training ground drew their swords and rushed forward, placing their blades against the man's neck!

"Don't get me wrong, we're on the same side!"

Lin Xiao rushed out from the nearby woods, waving his hands repeatedly.

The two guards looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan waved his hand slightly.

The guards immediately sheathed their swords.

Lin Xiao kicked the man on the ground in anger, saying resentfully, "I've told you hundreds of times, don't wear night clothes during the day!"

"When Young Master Fan saw you dressed in black and acting suspiciously, he thought you were an assassin!"

"Next time, I'll just kill you with one slap. Don't come crawling back to me as a ghost crying foul!"

The man in black clothes stood up with a mournful face, rubbing his chest.

Chen Fan glanced at the man, somewhat speechless.

Lin Xiao hurriedly said, "This guy was one of my subordinates when I was in Donghai City. He came to Shanghai specifically to seek refuge with me."

"He's actually a pretty good person, and very loyal."

"I have a strange habit: I run around in night clothes during the day, which often leads to misunderstandings."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes.

It's a miracle that this guy wasn't beaten to death.

At this moment, Su Wenqin waved to her tamed beast, the Lava Fire Spirit: "Fire Spirit, you should go back to your taming space first."

"Although there's no lava in my beast-taming space, I can bring you to Shop Number Nine often from now on!"

Clearly, Su Wenqin had overheard Zhou Lao and the others discussing the Star Gathering Array.

"You guys are busy, I'm going back to eat first."

Chen Fan waved and walked towards the back of the mountain.

He had only taken two steps when he stopped.

There is no lava in the Beast Taming Space...

There is no lava in my beast-taming space, but there is blue sky and white clouds, and four mysterious gates!

I almost forgot...

When we were blocked by the gate, the system seemed to have given us a hint that we needed to reach the fourth rank to enter.

A glint of light flashed in Chen Fan's eyes!

He is now at the fifth rank...
