Winter break officially began, and the school team members also had to train during the break. However, Guan Shanyue gave Cheng Huaijin a break so she could focus on handling the tournament matters.
As soon as the holiday started, the popularity of Renren.com only increased, and the most talked-about person at the moment is Cheng Huaijin from Class 1, Grade 1.
He only awakened his talent for beast taming at the age of 13, yet he won first place in the supplementary enrollment exam, was a recipient of the top scholarship with a one in a thousand chance, owned the high-level pet beast Super Fantasy and Ironclad Tiger, and was the champion of the Pet Cup... Now he has another title: first place in the first year of Yaotian Junior High School.
[1st Floor: Cheng Huaijin from Class 1 is the strongest in this year's first grade, isn't that meaningless?]
[2nd Floor: It's said that praying to Sister Cheng is very effective for exams]
[3rd Floor: Honestly, how can she get so many first places? Her beast taming skills are one thing, but how come her academic grades are so good too?]
[4th Floor: It's not as exaggerated as you guys are making it out to be, is it? Zeng Zhaoying ranked first in the six-subject joint ranking.]
[5th Floor: It doesn't matter who gets first place, right? The important thing is that Yaotian gets first place! Let's see what Experimental High School and No. 1 High School have to say then, hahaha~]
[6th Floor: I'm really looking forward to this year's Middle School Beast Taming League, let's see where Sister Cheng gets!]
[7th Floor: Don't even think about it, Sister Cheng will only get first place, hahaha]
[8th Floor: Don't forget that Chen Yuwei from the third grade is the real seed player]
[9th Floor: Exactly! What's Cheng Huaijin compared to Yuwei? When Yuwei was battling with her pets, she was just an ordinary person with no talent!]
...
Cheng Huaijin was completely unaware that she had become a prominent figure among the students in Dongcheng. At this moment, she was trying to figure out how to test whether Meihuan had the bloodline of the Illusion God.
Beforehand, she specifically contacted Adonis to ask, and based on Adonis's answer, Cheng Huaijin summarized three unusual aspects of the beauty.
Firstly, aside from basic skills, she cannot learn any other skills. Water Strike, Summon (Water), Water Shield, Water Healing, and Water Environment are all skills Meihuan was born with. Adonis tried to train Meihuan to learn some new skills, but all attempts failed.
(Thunder Sprite: That's because she's stupid!)
Secondly, it's extremely difficult to improve Meihuan's skills! Generally speaking, pet skills can be improved through frequent use. However, Adonis and Meihuan once conducted an experiment where Meihuan used the "Patting" skill every day for a month, but the skill proficiency didn't improve at all.
(Raiden: She's so stupid!)
Most importantly, Mei Huan has loved to dream since she was a child.
Cheng Huaijin now feels even more strongly that Meihuan has the bloodline of mythical beasts!
But how exactly should we stimulate it?
According to the novels Cheng Huaijin had read before, awakening one's bloodline was nothing more than facing life and death, facing life and death with the person one wanted to protect, or eating something good, or practicing some kind of cultivation technique... These were things they didn't have.
It's even less likely that Adonis or Meihuan would actually be put in a life-or-death situation for this vague idea, right?
However, now that we've entered a high-tech world, let's leave many things that can't be done to high technology!
There must be something like a holographic experience pod, right? Cheng Huaijin rubbed his hands together, eager to try it out, and sure enough, he found a holographic virtual experience pod that claimed to be able to reproduce 99% of the real feeling.
Customer service said it's fine for humans, but not necessarily for pets...
But it doesn't matter! It's Adonis paying anyway, hehe~
Cheng Huaijin shared her thoughts with Adonis. Based on the research and Meihuan's situation, she deduced that Meihuan might have the bloodline of a mythical beast, but she didn't know how to awaken it. Perhaps she could try simulating a dangerous situation using a holographic virtual experience pod.
Adonis readily agreed and decided to attend the first class tomorrow night, and also use the holographic virtual experience pod.
"Electric." Thunder Elf sat on Cheng Huaijin's head and asked curiously.
"The experience pod is very expensive. Customer service said it might break if used on a pet. You should wait and see how Meihuan does it. If it works well, then we can buy one!" Cheng Huaijin directly rejected Lei Jingling's idea of playing with the experience pod; she had never played with one before!
"Electric electricity".
"No." Cheng Huaijin grabbed the Thunder Sprite and ruffled its fur. "I told you, the Blessing skill is dangerous and can't be used casually."
"Electric~" the Thunder Sprite thought, "It should be fine to use it for just a little while."
Cheng Huaijin said seriously, "I won't let you take any more risks. There must be other ways."
The next night, the Tyrant Pet Training Center was still brightly lit.
Mei Huan has been in the experience chamber for 3 hours.
Adonis, in his nervousness, accidentally blurted out in dialect, "This pear? Why hasn't it come out yet!"
Cheng Huaijin paused for a moment, then pretended not to notice Adonis's dialect: "I chose the highest difficulty, with 99% realism. The instructions say it usually takes five hours to complete, so don't rush."
Cheng Huaijin walked to the front of the experience pod: "Why don't we turn on the monitor to check on Meihuan's condition? I didn't turn it on before because I was afraid the experience pod would be overloaded and break down prematurely."
Adonis took a deep breath and calmed himself down a bit: "I know, you told me before. The experience pod probably can't withstand the energy of the magic and might be destroyed. That's no problem, I can afford to buy another hundred."
"As long as Meihuan is alright."
Cheng Huaijin patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, let's take a look."
The monitor was turned on, and the scene Mei Huan was experiencing was presented to everyone.
Cheng Huaijin's original setting was the "War of Time Rifts" a hundred years ago.
A massive rift opened in the sky, and void creatures, flowing like oil, invaded Earth. Beastmasters and their pets fought side by side to protect humanity's home.
This war lasted for three thousand days. At the cost of the fall of three of the seven ancient divine beasts, the spacetime rift was repaired, and the void creatures retreated.
The Phantom Gods were the main force fighting against the Void Creatures, as they possessed the ability to manipulate time and space, allowing them to locate the Void Creatures hidden within the temporal turbulence. Dragons possessed powerful magical and physical attacks; the last remaining Thunder Dragon fought with all its might, eliminating the Void Creatures that had burrowed into Earth one by one. The Ghost Lord was the last divine beast to appear; tall and elegant, its back resembling that of a refined gentleman, yet its face was empty. After the war, it mended the cracks in the sky. Legend says that those who see it lose their memories, therefore, only the dragons' battles were truly witnessed.
After researching, Cheng Huaijin discovered that this was the latest record about the Illusion God, so he set the awakening scene of the Illusion God in this war.
On the monitor, Meihuan, as a member of the phantom beast team under the command of the Phantom God, is following the orders of a beast tamer to hunt down the void creatures that have escaped from the spacetime rift.
The outer skin of the void creatures that just rushed in has not yet solidified; it is just a soft, oil-like "mixture." As time goes by, their outer skin will become harder and harder until it cannot be easily broken.
