Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Ultimate Tyrant Volcano Grilled Creamy Steak

“`

Wanhai High School, team.

Ever since the last time Lu Ming’s Beast Taming nearly got beaten to death, the remaining three members of the team had a complete 180-degree change in attitude towards Chen Lingya.

They just felt that the new student had a bad temper, ready to throw down at the slightest provocation.

But at the same time, Beast Tamers were inherently a group that revered the strong.

Being of the same age, Chen Lingya’s Beast Taming strength was so impressive that after spending a few more days with her and realizing she wasn’t the type to fight over trivial matters, they began to admire her.

“What were you just talking about?” Chen Lingya stopped in her tracks, having overheard something about the Azure Dragon No. 8 Middle School.

“Uh… it’s just that there’s a friendly match between Azure Dragon No. 8 Middle School and Xintian Middle School’s team next week. We were discussing whether we should go watch it.”

“Speaking of which, I heard a bit of gossip. There’s a reserve student at Xintian Middle School who used to be a student at Azure Dragon No. 8 Middle School. It’s said that he transferred schools after a conflict over competing for a spot in the school team and got beaten up by another student.”

Gossip always spreads faster.

“This time, Xintian Middle School also has a battle between reserve students. It’s said it’s for revenge, so we’re planning to go watch.”

What an inspiring story, a student who was bullied bravely brandishing his sword against the forces of darkness.

Of course, the main reason was to find a legitimate excuse to slack off.

Chen Lingya withdrew her gaze, uninterested in such childish matters.

“Oh, by the way, I heard that boy from No. 8 also shares the same surname as our captain, also named Chen, something like…”

“Chen Xing.” another girl added in.

“Right, Chen Xing! That name is kind of a tongue twister.”

“It’s not a tongue twister; it’s quite easy to pronounce.” Chen Lingya turned her head aside and asked indifferently, “Which day next week?”

The other three were taken aback; they thought that Chen Lingya wouldn’t be interested in going given her personality.

“Friday.”

Lying on the dormitory bed of the team, Chen Xing’s eyes were closed as he lay there.

The Stone Booklet in his mind quietly opened, and he focused on the grey skill [Spicy Dried Small Fish] at the very bottom of the Pet Nutritionist Skill Tree.

The next moment, activate!

[Spicy Dried Small Fish] Spicy and sweet dried small fish, a food favored by many Beasts. Eating it can rapidly restore a Beast’s energy. (10/10) (Activated)

Right after, a new grey skill awaiting activation extended underneath it.

Unlike the skills which were only in the “Leaf Area” before, this new skill had reached the “Branch Area” of the tree.

Chen Xing glanced at it, and then his eyes locked onto the new skill without moving away for a long time.

[Ultimate Overlord Volcanic Grilled Butter Steak] A steak as fiery as a volcano, filled with an extremely rich buttery fragrance. Beasts that consume this delicacy over a long period can break through their own species’ body size limit, allowing their physical body size to reach up to 1,000 times their current individual limit. (0/100)

The name was long, and the effect was equally domineering.

As everyone knows, volume is a three-dimensional unit, made up of length, width, and height.

Volume = length * width * height.

Therefore, a 1,000 times increase in volume means the length, width, and height each increase by 10 times.

If Taotie’s limit is 8 meters in length, then after eating the steak, it would transform into a terrifying Behemoth that’s 80 meters long.

It seems that the first generation Godzilla was only 50 meters tall…

However, Chen Xing felt that the limit of Taotie’s size should be more than 8 meters; it grew faster than the crocodiles of the same age because of the nutritious meals it ate every day, making its size likely even larger.

The larger the base value, the more exaggerated the limit after eating the steak.

Unfortunately, the more advanced the skill became, the more exaggerated the required Skill Points. It wasn’t as cost-effective as the previous skills.

However… you get what you pay for. The previous skills only served to speed up the training of Beast Taming, but this skill was already breaking limits, leading Beast Taming towards an abnormal direction, further and further away.

Having digested the knowledge in his mind, Chen Xing had mastered how to make spicy fish snacks.

He organized the knowledge in his mind.

This skill was a “growth” type of skill, but of course, it came with limitations: it was only for carnivorous beasts, and herbivorous beasts would only experience 50% of the magic power restoration effect.

The first was the crafting technique, which wasn’t difficult—it was just like the actual process of drying small fish. The only requirement was that he personally had to do the drying and preparation.

The higher the Energy Level contained in the fish, the better the magic power restoration effect of the fish snacks produced would be.

Even ordinary fish turned into spicy snacks could restore half of Taotie’s magic power per piece, and it would only take two snacks to fully replenish its magic power.

The cost of two ordinary fish snacks… Chen Xing took out his phone to check, and it was indeed hard to calculate because the wholesale market sold them by weight.

Small white-scale fish were twelve yuan per pound, and one pound could have 20-30 pieces.

There were also other more expensive fish in the market.

However, even if the prices were a bit higher, for Chen Xing they were basically a bargain…

The only limitation was the time wasted in preparing the fish snacks, but compared to the effectiveness of the finished snacks, Chen Xing felt the time spent was quite worthwhile.

Once the preparation was complete, Taotie would finally be able to use its skills without being hindered by magic power supply.

After school, he went to the market to buy ten pounds of small fish, then bought salt and white vinegar. After preparing everything, he laid the fish out to dry on the Tianlou rooftops.

The weather forecast predicted sunny days ahead, and with the current hot weather, two days of drying would suffice.

Somehow, a rumor had started from somewhere, and what was initially just a friendly match between two school teams had escalated wildly, turning into gossip known to the entire grade.

After breakfast in the morning, Chen Xing crouched down to put on his shoes to leave the house; he glanced at the time—it was already seven o’clock. Any more delay and he would be late.

Chen Lingya, sitting at the dining table, suddenly spoke up, “Do you have a match today?”

Chen Xing, having put on his shoes, nodded. “There is one. Why, are you interested in these things too?”

“It’s nothing.” Chen Lingya took a sip of soy milk, squinted her eyes, and gently swayed her legs.

Arriving at school and not long into class, Wang Qiming asked Chen Xing for news. “Brother Chen, I heard that Xintian Middle School is coming over this afternoon?”

Chen Xing, who was reading a book, paused. Why was everyone asking about this today?

Did it really have that much influence?

It was just a friendly match between two school teams, and to minimize the impact, they had even chosen to hold it after school hours. It wasn’t even an official match.

Chen Xing replied, “They are coming.”

“That… I heard you beat up Zheng Weixin so bad he left. Is that true or just a rumor?”

“…”

Chen Xing remained silent. Could people really believe such rumors?

“No,” Chen Xing shook his head.

“Oh, okay.” Wang Qiming nodded, but his expression seemed to indicate he didn’t fully believe that answer.

The classmates were unaware of the rapid progress in Chen Xing’s Beast Taming since after joining the school team—particularly when his beast had grown too large to summon in the classroom—he had not summoned it in public again.

In the afternoon, at the No. 8 Middle School gymnasium, many students entered the gym after school had ended for the day.

The venue was already set up. It’s worth mentioning that due to frequent battles, the gym floor was not paved with cement but was uneven earth instead. Besides that, there was also an irregularly shaped large water pool in the center of the huge gym, with the deepest part being six to seven meters deep and the shallowest part less than half a meter.
