A 13-year-old Earth girl, accompanied by a mid-level Thunder Sprite, defeated Ghostface Smoke, who had fought 15 consecutive times, and won the title of champion in the Seya Empire Arena. This news spread throughout the entire interstellar space, causing a small sensation.

The main problem is that Earth itself has had a relatively poor track record in interstellar beast taming, having produced almost no powerful beast taming warriors.

Cheng Huaijin paid no attention to the turbulent waves outside; she only cared about the safety of the Thunder Spirit.

Adonis patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the Thunder Elf is in the healing chamber, she'll be fine."

Zhao Yu also said, "It's just that I've suffered a severe mental blow and my energy is depleted; I won't die."

Cheng Huaijin raised her red eyes: "What about what you promised me?"

Zhao Yu tossed Cheng Huaijin a small box, which this time contained two bottles: a drop of Illusion God's blood and a bottle of plant crystals.

"These are all good stuff, remember to use them secretly." Zhao Yu winked.

Cheng Huaijin put the box away and thanked him, saying, "Thank you."

Zhao Yu buttoned up his shirt: "Now that things are over, we won't stay any longer. Adonis still has a lot of work to do."

Adonis stood up, a little anxious: "Let's wait for the Thunder Spirit to come out..."

Zhao Yu interrupted him: "Do you even know how much money you've burned this time? Go back to work right now."

He said to Cheng Huaijin, "I've arranged everything for Lei Jingling. You can focus on your treatment; we'll cover all the expenses. Once Lei Jingling recovers, you can contact this person directly, and we'll ensure your safe return."

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

Cheng Huaijin looked at the outstretched hand, reached out and shook it: "Mm."

...

As Zhao Yu had said, Lei Jingling recovered completely, but Cheng Huaijin's palm was left with a crescent-shaped scar.

"Electric?" The Thunder Sprite curiously touched the little scar and asked how it got there.

"Well... it's been around for a long time!" Cheng Huaijin tickled the Thunder Elf, making it laugh non-stop.

The Thunder Sprite flew up and sat on Cheng Huaijin's head: "Electric! Electric!"

Cheng Huaijin could only explain, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, stop messing with my hair. When you were being restrained, I was so nervous that I scratched my palm, and this is a fingernail mark."

The Thunder Sprite flew down and pressed its little paws against the crescent-shaped scar, blowing air into it.

Cheng Huaijin smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. I deliberately didn't get the scar treated because I wanted to remember it."

"Let's not get into that kind of danger again."

"Electric electricity".

...

After returning home safely, Cheng Huaijin and Lei Jingling collapsed on the bed after being bombarded with news.

This time they really pulled off something big.

The communicator started vibrating again.

Coach Guan: You're back? Come to the school tomorrow to start the Mist Cup training camp.

Oh right! And there's the Mist Cup! We still have to do intensive training!

There's only one month left of winter break! I haven't done my winter break homework yet!

Cheng Huaijin suddenly remembered this heartbreaking news.

This is heartbreaking!!!

She resignedly got out of bed. Sigh, I'll just have to write whatever I can from now on. If all else fails, I'll apply for a break. I've already won the championship, so can I not do my homework anymore?

The next morning, in Guan Shanyue's office.

Coach Guan wore a black baseball cap today, which suited her white hair perfectly and made her look very stylish.

“You’re a little late. The Mist Cup starts in 20 days, so you have to train every day for these 20 days.”

"From 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., we eat at school, and there are training meals provided."

Cheng Huaijin quietly raised his hand: "Coach, I still have winter break homework to do, can I...?"

Guan Shanyue glanced at her: "If you can get a good ranking in the Misty Cup, it can be converted into your winter vacation homework grade."

Cheng Huaijin said confidently, "Thank you, Coach!"

Coach Guan sent the notes to Cheng Huaijin: "According to the rules of the Misty Cup Beast Taming Challenge, these are the notes I have compiled. The following training will revolve around these points."

Cheng Huaijin opened the document and read it carefully.

【Important Notes for the Mist Cup Beast Taming Challenge】

1. Map navigation: Contestants need to be proficient in map reading skills to ensure they can accurately judge directions and distances.

2. Beast Taming Command and Pet Status: During the competition, the combat power and status of the tamed beasts have a significant impact on the outcome. Players need to constantly monitor their tamed beasts' status and provide timely rest and replenishment. Furthermore, effective beast taming command is also crucial for victory.

3. Resource Acquisition and Utilization: During the process of acquiring resources and completing checkpoints, players need to pay attention to the distribution and utilization of resources. They must not only collect as many resources as possible but also allocate and use them rationally to ensure that they do not run out of resources while completing the task.

4. Check-in Task Strategies: Participants need to master certain strategies for checking in at each task point to save time later in the competition. For more challenging tasks, teamwork or alternative problem-solving methods can be considered.

5. Stay calm and rational: In the tense and exciting competition, players need to remain calm and rational, and pay close attention to their physical condition and the status of their beasts.

The Misty Cup Beast Taming Challenge, if compared to competitions from Cheng Huaijin's previous world, is somewhat similar to "orienteering".

The competition lasts seven days. After entering the Misty Forest, participants will collect resources and complete checkpoints according to the map. There are two conditions for completion: first, more than 80% of the checkpoints must be completed; second, the finish line must be reached.

The final ranking will be calculated based on the competition committee's coefficients. The earlier you reach the finish line and the more checkpoints you complete, the better your score will be.

Off-road skills, wilderness survival, and physical fitness improvement are all very important.

Thus began the "inhumane" training.
