Hatching the dragon eggs is certainly an important task, but the Cute Beast Cup Beast Taming Competition is even more urgent.
Cheng Huaijin has been working on the timing of skill releases with the Black Egg Beast for the past few days, as well as practicing how to use combos. With daily team practice, Cheng Huaijin feels that he has made considerable progress.
After the regular training session ended that day, Guan Shanyue called Cheng Huaijin aside.
"I heard you're going to the Beast Cup?" Guan Shanyue asked.
Cheng Huaijin nodded: "Yes, Coach Guan, Teacher Hu asked me to go. I heard it won't affect the school team's training."
Guan Shanyue patted the black egg beast drinking water: "Well, you're only in the reserve team now, so you can go out and compete on your own, that's fine. But I have other plans for you."
Cheng Huaijin pricked up his ears: "What are your plans, Coach Guan?"
Guan Shanyue smiled slightly: "Would you like to participate in the next Middle School Beast Taming League?"
Cheng Huaijin was somewhat surprised: "Me?" After the initial surprise, she felt very happy. "Of course I want to participate, but I guess I'm not qualified yet?"
Guan Shanyue said earnestly, "Why do you lack confidence in yourself?"
Cheng Huaijin: I'm just being modest.
Guan Shanyue continued, "Have you noticed that training has become much easier lately?"
Cheng Huaijin nodded silently.
"Just relax. Because you're not on the same level as them anymore. Their training intensity is no longer effective for you."
Cheng Huaijin, however, felt the training was useful: "Thank you for the praise, Coach Guan, hehe. I just feel I learned a lot during training, and it was quite helpful."
Guan Shanyue laughed: "That's because you lack common sense about combat. Your fighting style is too... peculiar." She paused for a moment before finding the adjective "peculiar".
"To think that the Black Egg Beast could corrode the Golden Wing Beast's feet and then burrow inside... Hahaha, this is the first time I've ever seen such a method."
Cheng Huaijin scratched his head sheepishly, "The Golden-Winged Beast is just too strong; there's really nothing I can do. But I really don't have much combat experience, so I can only guess."
Guan Shanyue praised, "That's why I have high hopes for you. You dare to think and act, and your unique fighting styles often produce surprising results in battle. Look, even the Golden-Winged Beast lost!"
Cheng Huaijin quickly waved his hand: "Coach Guan, please don't tease me. If you hadn't stopped the Golden Winged Beast, the Black Egg Beast would have been sealed away by the Metal Regeneration..."
"You've noticed it yourself, your fighting style is a bit extreme. Sometimes it's too crazy," Guan Shanyue said.
Cheng Huaijin smiled wryly: "Because the disparity in strength is too great, to win, you have to fight with all your might."
"Therefore, Black Egg Beast and I will both work hard to improve our strength! We won't let ourselves fall into danger again."
Guan Shanyue nodded: "It's good that you know what you're doing. But the main reason I called you here is to have you participate in this middle school beast-taming league."
Cheng Huaijin's eyes lit up: "If there's an opportunity, I'd be willing to participate!"
Guan Shanyue asked her, "Do you know that in the last league, Chen Yuwei, who was in her second year, won the runner-up position in the individual competition?"
Cheng Huaijin nodded: "I've heard of it."
Guan Shanyue continued, "Go this year and bring back a championship."
Cheng Huaijin: "Huh?"
"Huh? No confidence?" Guan Shanyue asked.
Cheng Huaijin composed himself, "No, no, it's just that, Coach Guan, isn't this a bit too sudden? I heard the defending champion was very strong last time; Senior Chen Yuwei lost in ten rounds..."
Guan Shanyue continued, "The defending champion isn't in China this year; he's not participating." Her eyes narrowed. "No confidence?"
It seemed that as soon as Cheng Huaijin said he lacked confidence, he would be subjected to extra training.
Cheng Huaijin changed the subject: "...Yes! Absolutely! I'm very confident!"
Guan Shanyue nodded in satisfaction: "So this time, you must win the Beast Taming Cup with absolute strength, and then I will naturally let you join the first-level team and participate in the middle school Beast Taming League."
Cheng Huaijin was still a little unsure: "...But Coach Guan, the Beast Cup competition is just two weeks away...I feel like my skills are still a bit..."
Guan Shanyue: "Hmm?"
Cheng Huaijin added at lightning speed, "So Coach Guan, can you give me special training? I'm willing to train extra every day!"
Guan Shanyue said with satisfaction, "You're such a studious child, but I don't like working overtime. From now on, you don't need to train with them anymore; I'll arrange separate sessions for you."
Cheng Huaijin stood up straight and saluted Guan Shanyue: "Thank you, Coach! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
For the next two weeks, Cheng Huaijin began an grueling period of solitary training. She was exhausted but also incredibly happy!
Day 1 of training.
Guan Shanyue: "The strength of a pet is closely related to the strength of its tamer. You are too weak; you simply cannot unleash the full power of the Black Egg Beast."
The black egg beast nodded beside it, "Hehe."
As a result, Cheng Huaijin was delighted to receive 2 hours of physical training and 1 hour of energy circulation exercises.
There was also a misunderstanding: Cheng Huaijin had no idea that Beast Tamers had such a thing as "energy circulation" training! Under Guan Shanyue's disappointed gaze, she silently tried to sense the energy elements on the battlefield.
"Think about how you feel when the Black Egg Beast is fighting. Use that feeling to communicate with the energy elements on the battlefield. You can sense them, absorb them, and pass them on to your pet. This way, your pet will have a channel for communication between the two elements during battle," Guan Shanyue explained.
Cheng Huaijin closed his eyes and tried to sense the energy elements.
