Considering the skills he had mastered, Si Xiang’s position on the team was clearly that of a ranged damage dealer after.

Whether it was thunder, fire, darkness, or the enigmatic soul attribute, all possessed impressive offensive capabilities.

Chen Xing had looked up the Soul Element online; it was always shrouded in mystery, with the number of monsters possessing this attribute being as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and accordingly, the corresponding Skill Orbs were extremely scarce.

However, having multiple attributes didn’t necessarily equate to an absolute advantage.

This was because there was a limit to the number of skill slots each Beast Tamer had.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Even after leveling up to one hundred, there would only be twenty skill positions available, which might include Innate Skills and Passive Skills.

Under normal circumstances, a dual-attribute combination was optimal — if the twenty skill positions were evenly distributed between two attributes, one would have the advantage of multiple attributes and wouldn’t have to worry about being precisely countered.

But there are always exceptions.

Chen Xing remembered that there was a nationally famous expert who had a trump card Beast Taming with all five attributes — metal, wood, water, fire, earth — all in one.

He had made a name for himself on the Exotic Region battlefield.

Moreover, to many people’s surprise, this Beast Tamer was not specialized in any one attribute. Chen Xing opened his browser on his mobile phone and quickly found related reports, “Northern Battle Zone Advanced Beast Tamer — Five Elements Supreme!”

The comments section below was filled with netizens’ remarks.

“I heard that each attribute of the Five Elements Supreme’s skills isn’t numerous, but its skills are like endless firepower that never runs out.”

“The skill release frequency is too high, and I’ve noticed that each time one skill is released, the next one seems to be even more powerful, what kind of Passive Skill is that?”

“I haven’t heard of it, but I guess it might have something to do with the innate skill of his Beast Taming.”

Meanwhile, Chen Xing was perusing the data on his mobile phone, and he threw a tennis ball into the water.

Taotie dove fiercely into the bottom of the Great Vortex, its tail powerfully swishing, stirring up splashes throughout the pool.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Si Xiang, on the other hand, found a target to train with on its own, casually seizing a crackling Lei Ting Long Spear in its palm and throwing it with force.

The Lei Ting Long Spear turned into a purple afterimage, hitting the bullseye of the target dead center.

The metal center of the target turned charred black.

The Lei Ting Long Spear could be used for mid-range attacks or maintained in shape for close combat.

Chen Xing sent a message to his mentor, asking if she had any suggestions.

Sometimes, having too many attributes could also be a source of trouble.

No sooner had he sent the message than he received no reply; his mentor was likely busy with something else.

After watching for a while, Coach Kuang, holding a tablet, walked over: “You could let it learn the fighting techniques shown here first.”

“Huh? What’s this?”

Displayed on the tablet was the image of an old martial artist wielding a long staff.

“Humanoid Beast Tamers can learn these combat skills,” explained Kuang Shiyi. “It’s quite helpful for enhancing combat capability. For instance, Tong Xuhua’s Frenzied Flame Ape has learned martial arts; it also mastered a type of legwork and boxing.”

Chen Xing gratefully accepted the tablet, “Thank you, Coach Kuang.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Kuang Shiyi shook his head, indicating no thanks were necessary, and expounded on the importance of combat techniques in battle. “Two people with the same physical fitness, one proficient in martial arts, the other a normal person, the gap in their power will be huge, and the same is true for Beast Tamers. Of course, it’s rare for you to be specifically taught about this in your first and second years since at this stage the focus is on nurturing Beast Tamers.

Generally, it’s only after the third year, when the progress of the Beast Tamers slows down and they start to mature, that you’re introduced to hands-on training in their combat skills.”

Kuang Shiyi continued, “I mentioned it because I saw it training on the side for half a day without focusing on what’s important.”

After taking the tablet, Chen Xing fell into deep reflection.

He believed that his nurturing rhythm was different from others’.

Perhaps he could consider adding some of this training; not just for Si Xiang, but Taotie could also benefit from related training.

Taotie’s combat experience wasn’t rich either, and although its skill Proficiency Level was high, fixed skills were like fixed tactics. It needed to link skills together and grasp the timing of skill release.

Before, it was hard to find a suitable opponent, given how unusually fast Taotie was progressing. Usual opponents were ineffective in just a few days.

But now… it seems there’s a fitting sparring partner.

Chen Xing’s gaze fell on Sìxiàng standing beside him.

Chen Xing handed the tablet to Sìxiàng, instructing it to learn from the video displayed on the screen.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Sìxiàng took the tablet, its claws forming a stand, as it squatted down to attentively watch the video.

Chen Xing glanced at the messages, the mentor had not replied yet. He wasn’t in a hurry and peacefully continued training Taotie.

Three hours passed, and the proficiency level of Taotie’s Great Vortex skill increased by three hundred points. There was still some distance from reaching Perfect, but it was steadily improving.

Next to them, Sìxiàng was holding a Lei Ting Long Spear, practicing quite proficiently.

Two days went by continuously.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of November, and the third monthly test was approaching rapidly.

This monthly test was different from the previous ones. The third one adopted a battle mode, where students of the same age would compete in beast taming battles to determine the final rankings and award prizes based on these rankings.

The true test was in actual combat effectiveness, as some beast tamers looked fierce in daily life but turned out to be pushovers in big competitions.

On the podium, the class teacher Lu Junxiang said, “You must bring out your spirit in tomorrow’s third monthly test! Show your best and display our Class Four’s might! Do you hear me?”

“Yes, sir!”

The students replied loudly from below the platform.

“Right, Chen Xing, don’t leave right after class; come to the office,” Lu Junxiang said to Chen Xing.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

After school, Chen Xing arrived at the class teacher’s office, where Lu Junxiang was drinking water and screwing the lid back onto his bottle.

Lu Junxiang, “Here you are, the principal asked me to relay a message to you. Hey, I’m almost becoming a loudspeaker now.”

“Perhaps in a couple of years, you’ll be promoted, and next time I’ll have to call you Director Lu,” Chen Xing quipped.

“Dare not, dare not,” Lu Junxiang shook his head repeatedly and sneakily glanced at the door to make sure that Director Sun had not overheard.

“Does the principal mean for me not to take part in this one?” Chen Xing understood that with Taotie’s current growth rate, participating in the monthly grade test would be an absolute mismatch.

“No, the principal wants you to participate. However, you can skip the preliminary matches. They’re a waste of your time and meaningless. Just join the final competition directly,” Lu Junxiang explained.

“That’s fine by me,” Chen Xing gladly agreed, knowing the monthly test would typically last an entire day.

The whole school would usually be busy on the day of the monthly test, with matches stretching from morning till night.

Skipping the preliminary contests and heading straight to the finals was indeed convenient for him.

“Right, the principal also mentioned that you should only apply some pressure on the other students; don’t go overboard and maintain proper restraint,” Lu Junxiang said meaningfully.

…

Returning home that evening, Chen Xing looked at the skill points he had collected.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

He chose to activate [Hyper Quantitative Skill Guidance].

[Hyper Quantitative Skill Guidance] (Passive) Your skill training techniques are highly professional, allowing your pet to gain double the proficiency when practicing active skills. (10/10) (Activated)

The long-awaited skill was finally activated. Now that would make things easier, significantly speeding up the rate of skill proficiency improvement.

Below this skill, a new grey skill awaiting activation appeared.

The new skill was quite a distance away from [Hyper Quantitative Skill Guidance], not on the leaves but positioned at the tip of a branch.

Seeing its location, Chen Xing had a hunch that this new skill was going to be incredibly strong. Filled with anticipation, he opened the description of the inactive skill.

[Pet Skill Optimization] After your pet’s skill breaks through to Perfect, you can optimize that skill, endowing it with additional effects, including but not limited to a two-stage burst, extra damage, additional states, and skill form alterations. (0/100)
