MTL - After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master

 Chapter 62 Second Test

 The next day, Chen Xing got up early and had breakfast with Mr. Qiu.

 Lao Qiu asked someone to bring a yacht and took Chen Xing to go fishing deeper in the lake.

Not long after the two left, the tall, athletic girl with a ponytail returned to the island in the lake. "Aunt, did you see where grandpa went?"

“Your grandpa and the new boy went fishing in the depths of the lake. The boy is about the same age as you, one year younger than you, and he is only a freshman this year, and he is also a saltwater crocodile.”

The girl was curious, "He also chose the route of the Canghai Emperor Crocodile?"

“That’s right, the old man also chose the King of Crocodile route for him,” the woman said.

"Then his qualifications for controlling beasts are very good?" The girl said this with some envy. She was not talented enough in controlling animals. Although she barely inherited the old man's King Crocodile route, it was only after taking the treasure given by her grandfather. Only then did he barely break through the limit and reach the minimum standard for evolving into a greedy crocodile.

"That's right. The old man seems to take it seriously. Why, are you jealous?" the woman teased.

The girl rolled her eyes and said, "I'm so stingy. My grandpa has raised crocodiles all his life. He is very happy to see a genius. Who makes my little crocodile not very talented?"

 At this point, the girl sighed quietly.

According to what his grandfather said, her talent for controlling beasts was barely enough, and her evolution into the King Crocodile would be the limit. It would be almost impossible to evolve into the King Crocodile of the Sea again, unless she had a treasure of the level of Tears of the Poseidon.

On the lake, an old man and a young man were fishing leisurely in the cool breeze on a yacht.

“Old Qiu, Canghai Crocodile is the name of its second evolution, so what is the name of the race it evolved for the first time?”

“The water-died greedy crocodile will not have a big change in size after its first evolution. It will only grow a few meters at most. The real big change in size will have to wait for its second evolution.”

Speaking of this, Qiu Shangqing sighed: "Actually, I can feel that there is a route behind the Canghai Emperor Crocodile. Unfortunately, the inheritance I obtained back then was not complete. I have been trying to collect a more complete inheritance over the years, but I can only get a glimpse of it. Nothing."

"The only gain is that the name of the third evolution contains the word "天"." At this point, Qiu Shangqing shook his head mockingly.

 Even the names have not been collected completely, and I don’t know if I can get a glimpse of the true meaning of the third evolution in my lifetime.

“Actually, the Canghai Emperor Crocodile has only evolved twice, but it is a rare evolution. Some beasts can’t match the Canghai Emperor Crocodile even if they evolve three times.”

“The potential of a beast cannot be judged simply by the number of evolutions.” Qiu Shangqing said.

“It’s like an ant, even if it evolves once and becomes a gecko. Its race limit is still not as good as that of an elephant.”

“So rare evolution is more precious than ordinary evolution. If you have the opportunity to get rare evolution from other beast masters in the future, don’t miss it!”

“One rare evolution is better than two or even three ordinary evolutions.”

 Chen Xing nodded cautiously, keeping Qiu Lao's words in his heart.

“The essence of evolution is actually the pursuit of a higher level of life. Although I don’t know if there is an upper limit to the number of times a beast can evolve in this life, but every time it goes as far as possible, it is definitely the right product!”

Lao Qiu swung the fishing rod, lifted up a palm-sized silver-scaled fish, took off the hook with a smile and threw the fish into the water storage tank.

“Old Qiu, I have been thinking before that if my beast gets bigger in the future, I will go fishing in the sea with it, without even bringing a boat.”

Qiu Shangqing laughed when he heard this, "Hahahaha, I have put your idea into practice before."

 “As a result, I was in the air force for a whole day!”

 “Why?”

“The Taming Beast is too scary and scares away the fish. Let me tell you, don’t let the Taming Beast follow you when you go fishing in the future. Otherwise, you will have an air force every day.”

At this moment, on the shore of the island several kilometers away, the Canghai King Crocodile, which was lying down and dozing, suddenly opened its eyes and let out a long roar in displeasure.

A distant long groan came from behind, and Qiu Shangqing coughed.

 “Fishing, fishing, let’s not talk about this anymore.”

 In the evening, the two people who had returned home with a full catch of fish got off the yacht with a bucket. Qiu Shangqing handed the bucket to the steward next to him and said, "Make fish soup tonight."

"Okay, Mr. Qiu." The butler politely took the bucket. Wearing gloves, he took a white gift box from the sightseeing car next to him and handed it to Qiu Shangqing, "This is the gift you asked me to prepare."

Qiu Shangqing took the gift box and handed it to Chen Xing, "Open it."

Chen Xing took the gift box and opened the lid. There was a sky-blue fruit quietly placed inside.

 This is the first time he has seen the sky-blue fruit.

 About the size of a lemon. "Let your beast master eat the fruit inside. It is not a valuable thing. It is a fruit grown in the environment where my beast master has lived for a long time. It will improve the qualifications of the saltwater crocodile."

 “This is so precious.”

"Only by giving it to the right person can it have the greatest effect." Qiu Shangqing said, "Giving this fruit to a saltwater crocodile with ordinary qualifications will only make it good. But if you give it to your beast master, it can make it To take the next step forward, good steel must be used on the blade.”

Chen Xing summoned Taotie. When Taotie smelled the fruit in Chen Xing's hand, he couldn't help but glance at the palm of his master's hand.

 After observing for a while, Taotie opened his mouth slightly after realizing that the owner did not seem to be ready to eat.

 “Oooooo.” (Let me give you a taste)

 Chen Xing knelt down and handed the fruit to Taotie.

Taotie swallowed the dates in one bite.

 But it seems that no change can be seen after eating it.

 There was no body shining, and no visions were frequent.

Only Taotie kept smacking his mouth, as if he was still savoring the taste of the fruit.

 At the dinner, Chen Xing noticed that there were a few more new faces at today’s dinner than yesterday.

There is also a girl of similar age to herself. Listening to the conversations of others around her, she seems to be the granddaughter of Mr. Qiu.

Out of politeness, Chen Xing didn’t pay much attention and kept his head down the whole time as a waiter.

 When someone mentions him, he raises his head and responds with a polite smile.

 Then continue to eat with your head down.

Not to mention, the food at Mr. Qiu’s house is quite delicious.

 The next day, Qiu Qiuyu drove Chen Xing to the airport and arrived in Jincheng at noon that day.

 After leaving the airport, I took a taxi directly outside the airport and returned to school.

 This weekend, the school is almost empty.

 Except for the school team.

Perhaps because the Shuzhou Cup is coming soon, the four seniors in the school team have become noticeably more lively, and the several beast masters who were injured during the previous competition with Xintian Middle School have also fully recovered from their injuries.

 “You’re back, is it fun over there in Cangwu?” Kuang Shiyi came over.

“Time is a bit tight, so I didn’t have much fun. There is a lot of water over there, and rivers can be seen everywhere in the city. There are people walking on the waterside and riding animals everywhere, walking on one bank and swimming in the water.”

"Cangwu City is a key city for the development of water-based beast control. There is a famous Tianhu secret realm there. It is said that the first place where the saltwater crocodile was discovered was in Tianhu. Your visit this time can be regarded as taking your beast control back to its ancestral home. The ground."

Chen Xing laughed, "I was too pressed for time and didn't go to Tianhu. I can go and see it later when I get better at controlling beasts."

“Come on, measure your data on how to control the beast. Although I know that you are making rapid progress in how to control the beast, you still need to give a clear data to the boss.”

Kuang Shiyi took Chen Xing to the school's warehouse dedicated to storing instruments to test Taotie.

 The results will come out soon.

Body length 598.4cm, weight 350.1kg, energy level 19.1, awakening skills: Water Hide, Water Devouring (Mastery), Maelstrom (Mastery)

 The overall score is 16918, and the overall ranking is 1.

Although he already knew the results, Kuang Shiyi couldn't help but marvel at the moment when the results were actually measured, "No wonder Senior Qiu invited you to go to Cangwu. Only such a monster can make Senior Qiu unable to resist."

 “What’s the second place?” Chen Xing looked curiously.

 The second-place saltwater crocodile has a comprehensive score of 14001 points.

 It is 2,900 points lower than Taotie. It is crushed in terms of size, only 4.68 meters and weighs 212 kilograms, but it is far ahead in the energy level column, with 22.6 energy level.

 “Do you know who is second?”

 “Who? Mr. Qiu?” Chen Xing thought of some possibility.

"Mr. Qiu's beast control is not included. He didn't have compulsory education when he was young." Kuang Shiyi laughed, "But he is very close to him. He is the third son of Mr. Qiu. You should know when you go to Qiu's house this time, like The financial resources of such a big family are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. It is normal for them to surpass you in terms of energy level. Others who control beasts have been eating top-notch goodies since they were young.

But even so, you were still surpassed. Of course, your test was five days later than others, but it was also very valuable. "

"By the way, after the Shuzhou Cup, you will go to the Nightmare Ghost Swamp Heritage Tower. Last time you also saw the power of illusion. After a while, the school will specially invite an illusion master to you to let you know how to deal with illusion. ."
