Chapter 145: Chapter 125 Pet Posture Correction

“We won.” In the locker room, Tian Xuechuan mumbled to himself.

He slapped himself, doubting if he was dreaming.

The intense pain on his face snapped Tian Xuechuan back to reality, it wasn’t a dream, they had actually won!

Holy shit, junior is freaking awesome!

At one moment, Tian Xuechuan even had the thought—why couldn’t he be a girl.

“This year… perhaps we really have a chance at the championship.” Kuang Shiyi watched Chen Xing’s spirited figure on the stage, and the warm applause from the audience.

A smile emerged on his face involuntarily.

This is the honor and applause you deserve.

He knew Chen Xing was preparing for the college entrance exams, but he never expected that before taking the exams, Chen Xing would prepare such a big gift for the school!

Just based on this victory alone, the school’s student intake next year will definitely surge, and the resource allocation from the education authority above will be more generous.

The school rising because of him is not just an empty phrase.

After the competition ended, Chen Xing, who left the field amidst applause, returned to the locker room.

Shortly after leaving, he saw his father, mother, and sister in a large restaurant outside.

“Not bad performance!” Chen Lingya stared at her brother, “How much strength are you still hiding?”

“That’s it, I’ve shown everything,” Chen Xing sighed.

“I don’t believe it.”

“Really!” Chen Xing said helplessly, smiling wryly. Speaking the truth, and yet nobody believed him.

Taotie had directly defeated Longdu Xingchen High School, and except for the Vortex of Demise and the Great Flood, which were not released, the other skills were basically all used.

He had only kept the Vortex of Demise as a trump kill move.

To launch a surprise attack on the enemy at a critical moment.

Then the speed and explosive power of Taotie would slightly improve under the State of the Great Flood.

Additionally, buffing and waxing could slightly enhance the physical Attributes of Taotie.

Well… aside from these points, it seems like he really had no more cards up his sleeve.

But none of these constituted a qualitative change, only a certain enhancement to his original strength.

Thinking about this, Chen Xing began to feel a bit anxious.

Now that Taotie has been exposed, the other strong teams will definitely formulate tactics specifically targeting Taotie.

It’s even possible they might reset their skills before the match to learn counter-skills specifically aimed at Taotie.

“Alright, I believe you.” Seeing her brother’s expression, Chen Lingya nodded, showing she believed what her brother said.

“Dad, Mom.” Chen Xing then turned to look at Chen Guohai and Liu Yuzhen, who stood to the side, smiling as they watched him and his sister.

“We watched your competition, we don’t understand much, but Mom is just curious about one thing—now that Taotie has grown so big, can it get enough to eat every meal?”

Chen Xing was startled, he hadn’t expected his mom to ask such a question.

“It can get enough, I definitely won’t let it go hungry.”

“That’s good, I find your little crocodile to be quite greedy. It secretly came to me for food while I was cooking in the kitchen.”

“What?” Chen Xing raised an eyebrow, surprised by the revelation.

He had no idea when Taotie had gone to ask for food.

In the Beast Taming Space, Taotie squinted its eyes guiltily.

How come his owner’s mom spills everything?

…

After the competition, Situ Yan didn’t return to the locker room; instead, he walked straight to the locker, picked up his shoulder bag, and left the noisy arena without hesitation.

Pushing through the crowd, he headed toward a private car in the distant parking lot and drove home alone.

Upon entering, he was met with his father’s stern gaze.

This was a middle-aged man who shared a five out of ten resemblance with him, his features sharp and piercing.

He coldly fixated on Situ Yan, his tone revealing clear dissatisfaction, “You couldn’t even win a match, what use are you?”

Situ Yan glanced at his father but did not respond, silently turning around to head upstairs.

“Father, victory and defeat are common in military matters, so it’s normal for my brother to lose,” Situ Xiaoqing said to her father from her seat.

Situ Zhen looked at his son with a cold voice, “Hmph, to become so dejected after just one loss, I do not have such a disgraceful thing.”

Situ Yan’s footsteps faltered as he clenched his fists and continued upstairs without turning back.

“It’s fine, father. Just let brother train in Beast Taming properly,” Situ Xiaoqing consoled her father.

“Moreover, his opponent wasn’t easy either. That crocodile was so large it seemed somewhat exaggerated, like it might be some kind of rare evolution. If it’s a rare evolution, it is normal for the Vortex Dragon to be no match.”

“Hmph, insisting on raising a Dragon Breed Beast only to make such a spectacle at the competition, our Situ family’s family Beast Taming isn’t inadequate for him to raise,” Situ Zhen snorted coldly, his disappointment was because of his love, as his son had always been too proud, looking down on ordinary beasts.

He insisted on cultivating a Dragon Breed Beast.

Through his wife’s family connections, he obtained a Vortex Dragon for him.

But their Situ family didn’t rise by cultivating Dragon Breed Beasts; cultivating Beast Taming isn’t just about signing a contract, it’s that simple.

This includes the medicinal baths used daily, diets, skill combinations, and how to train skills—each aspect is the true core passed down through generations of the family.

Beast Taming is just one part of the reason, but the core is still the method of cultivating Beast Tamers.

Fortunately, his eldest daughter took up the mantle of their Situ family. Situ Zhen turned his head to look at his daughter, “This visit home won’t delay your operations in the Exotic Region, will it?”

“No delay. The Silkworm Forest has already been occupied. We estimated to occupy four Resource Points by the first half of this year and now have two. By the middle of the year, we’ll achieve the target,” Situ Xiaoqing smiled knowingly.

“If my brother likes Dragon Breed Beasts, just let him raise one. Anyway, raising the next Beast Taming for our Situ family’s legacy isn’t urgent.”

“I hope so,” Situ Zhen nodded.

The only thing that comforted him was his daughter making him proud.

Two years ago, she won the university cup championship as a member of the Dragon Capital Star Team, which greatly enhanced his reputation.

…

After the battle, Chen Xing did not relax, as he had other opponents to face.

He glanced at his current savings, which had accumulated to thirty-eight Skill Points.

He surveyed the three profession Skill Trees.

The only effective one at present was the Pet Beautician career tree.

Chen Xing hesitated, looking at the three Skills behind the Pet Beautician.

At the moment, the only helpful one seemed to be the nail care Skill.

It would make Taotie’s claws sharper, combined with the effects of previous polish and wax, this should be a BUFF-type enhancement with a duration.

“[Basic Nail Care Technique] You have learned how to trim your Beast Taming’s nails, making their claws and teeth sharper for easier prey hunting.” (0/10)

Chen Xing estimated the rate of Skill Point acquisition.

He could obtain a hundred and eight Skill Points in sixty days.

It was only mid-March now, and there was still a significant amount of time left until the college entrance exam.

Ten Skill Points were not a big deal.

It was worth increasing his strength by a notch.

Thinking this way, Chen Xing activated the Basic Nail Care Technique.

Under the Basic Nail Care Technique, a new Skill appeared.

This Skill also resided at the top of the tree but had descended quite a distance downward, not far from the branches of the Skill Tree.

“[Pet Posture Correction] You have learned to correct your pet’s posture. After correcting the pet’s posture, they can obtain two of the following five enhancement effects at random for the next hour.”

1. Pet Health: Incorrect posture may cause health issues such as pain and discomfort in pets. The correct posture greatly increases their resistance to negative states.

2. Improve Pet Quality of Life: Posture issues can affect a pet’s daily activities, such as walking, running, playing, etc. After correcting the posture, pets can engage in these activities more freely and comfortably. Moderately increases the physical speed of the pet.
