22: Chapter 22 Master Mo's Car Crashed
The Campus Championship is organized by Nanyuan Province; it is a competition for third-year high school Beast-Tamer Students within the province, bringing together many young talents.
Rising to prominence in such a competition can increase a rookie's evaluation weight, so it's not hard to imagine how intense this Campus Championship will be.
Yue Yun has only been a Beast Tamer for exactly two months; he struggles even in a direct confrontation with Xu Qingfang, so he's not qualified to participate at all.
"I'll be kicked to death like a bot."
Yue Yun looked at Pan Xuan and spoke gloomily.
Pan Xuan ignored his resistance, forcibly stuffed him into the team competition lineup, and signed him up for the individual competition separately.
Pan Xuan saw it clearly: "Your beast-taming style is too unique. Even if you rank among the top in the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, no Beast Taming University would be willing to choose you firmly. Only by increasing your popularity will they be willing to cultivate you wholeheartedly."
Current beast-taming styles are all centered around Pet Beasts without exception.
Yue Yun, this oddball, is a huge shock to current beast-taming styles, and those Academic Cliques certainly wouldn't want to see it.
Unless Yue Yun can make a name for himself before then, letting the entire East District know he can confront powerful Pet Beasts in human form, only then would those Academic Cliques not dare to act against him directly.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Yue Yun understood and felt very grateful in his heart.
Pan Xuan nodded: "There's still nearly a month left. I'll try to prepare some Materials for the Earth Spirit Cat to see if it can awaken a second skill."
Miao Sang only having one skill is still too few.
Even if it doesn't need to fight, having more skills gives a better chance of winning, preferably a skill like Rock Spike that can provide assistance to Yue Yun.
After speaking, Pan Xuan also frowned in deep thought.
Awakening new skills for a Pet Beast has never been a simple matter; it's not only linked to the Pet Beast's species and potential but also has a great connection with training Materials.
Furthermore, this skill must provide assistance to Yue Yun.
Hmm, worth pondering!
Pan Xuan turned and left, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Yu rubbed the back of his head, his face contorted in pain: "Pan Zi is so heavy-handed, it really hurts!"
"You have the nerve to say that."
Xu Qingfang said crossly: "If you two hadn't been so arrogant in front of the security uncle, Pan Zi wouldn't have had the time to bother with you, and I wouldn't have had to suffer along with you."
Yue Yun smiled without saying a word.
Now he was the epitome of being thick-skinned and tough; Pan Xuan hadn't gone all out, so it was negligible to him.
Mo Yu turned his attention to the Campus Championship.
"You, Yue Yun, and Su Lixia, the three of you?"
"Me, Su Lixia, and Xue Qin are the starters, and Yue Yun is the substitute."
Xu Qingfang patted Yue Yun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't feel too much pressure. The team competition is mainly to get a feel for the atmosphere; the individual competition is the home field where you'll dazzle everyone."
Xue Qin was ranked third in Beast Taming Class 1.
She and Su Lixia were best friends, and the B-rank potential Heart-Confusing Fox she contracted was a rare spiritual-type Pet Beast, quite powerful.
Yue Yun felt a lot more relieved.
The three of them turned and entered a milk tea shop by the road.
Mo Yu took out his phone to order, saying distractedly: "I think you could try to let the Earth Spirit Cat awaken Earth Origin."
"Why?"
"Because the Earth Spirit Cat has only taken two Rock Potions, and the intensity of the Rock Spike skill is far inferior to the Lingshan Elephant Guard's. Earth Origin can, to a certain extent, make up for this deficiency."
Mo Yu put down his phone and analyzed seriously: "And your Beast Taming Talent is Blood-Qi Sharing. Since the Earth Spirit Cat was willing to contract with you, the connection between you must be very close."
"If it awakens Earth Origin, besides improving its own various stats, it can also pass this Earth Origin to you."
Xu Qingfang's eyes lit up after hearing this.
He took over Mo Yu's words: "Your combat relies entirely on yourself. If you have the enhancement of Earth Origin, you'll definitely be even more formidable!"
Mo Yu and Xu Qingfang hit it off immediately.
Yue Yun also felt it made sense after hearing it.
The help Earth Origin brought to Yue Yun wasn't intuitive, but in terms of actual effects, it was indeed the most balanced.
For a moment, he felt admiration for Mo Yu once again.
To think of a suitable skill in such a short time, it was clear that his understanding of Pet Beast skills was far beyond ordinary people.
Yue Yun quickly sent a message to Pan Xuan, then asked: "How do you know so much about Pet Beast skills?"
Before Mo Yu could speak, Xu Qingfang beat him to it.
Xu Qingfang said with a grin: "He's Master Mo, who aspires to become a Breeder. Of course he knows about Pet Beast skills!"
Breeders are elite professionals specialized in cultivating Pet Beasts, who formulate different cultivation policies based on the growth, training, and evolution direction of Pet Beasts.
For example, the cultivation policies tailored for everyone in the Beast Taming Class.
Therefore, the status of a top Breeder is no less than that of an elite Beast Tamer, and even Master-level Beast Tamers will treat them with hospitality.
Mo Yu nodded in acknowledgment of Xu Qingfang's words.
Yue Yun was even more impressed upon hearing this.
To become a Breeder, one must possess a vast amount of knowledge, an extremely deep understanding of Pet Beasts, and a very solid foundation.
Clearly, Mo Yu was working hard at all times to become a Breeder.
Ring ring ring—!
The phone rang, and Yue Yun answered Pan Xuan's call.
Pan Xuan's familiar voice came from the phone: "Yue Yun, did Mo Yu tell you about this Earth Origin?"
The three of them suddenly turned serious.
Yue Yun glanced at Mo Yu, and seeing he had no reaction, replied: "Yeah, Mo Yu did tell me. I thought about it and felt there was no problem; it's indeed worth a try."
There was silence on the other end for a moment, followed by a light chuckle.
Pan Xuan sneered: "Then you can give him two slaps now. Earth Origin is a fixed Awakening skill for the Earth Spirit Cat; there's no need to waste resources specifically to awaken it."
Yue Yun and Xu Qingfang showed surprised expressions at the same time.
Mo Yu took out his phone in surprise and began to check the data on the Earth Spirit Cat, finally nodding in apology helplessly.
He was so focused on thinking about which skill was suitable for Yue Yun that he forgot that Earth Origin was among the Earth Spirit Cat's fixed Awakening skills.
Pan Xuan added: "I've just thought of a few skills that can be awakened at this stage. See which one is more suitable for you."
Pan Xuan chose defensive skills like Rock Armor Shield and deterrent skills like War Cry, which provided more intuitive improvements.
As for attack skills, he didn't choose any.
After all, in the combination of Yue Yun and Miao Sang, the one responsible for fighting wasn't Miao Sang, so it was safer to act as support.
Yue Yun thought about this for a bit.
Rock Armor Shield couldn't compare to the Lingshan Elephant Guard's Rock Shield, but it could provide Yue Yun with decent defensive capabilities without affecting his movement.
But Yue Yun didn't take substantial damage, so this skill would instead be a burden to him.
War Cry?
Yue Yun didn't think the chubby Miao Sang's War Cry would be intimidating, but the skill interruption effect attached to War Cry was indeed good.
"Teacher, I choose War Cry!"
Yue Yun's lips curled into a confident smile.
