After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Situ Yan squatted beside him at some point, staring intently at Dong Jun.

He looked at Dong Jun's sturdy body and graceful curves, his eyes filled with covetous desire.

"This is the dragon you got from the Han Family, right?"

Situ watched the dragon with envy.

Some people around looked over, curious about Chen Xing's taming abilities.

"Is this his main Beast Taming?"

"No, I heard his first Beast Taming was a very large crocodile."

"Now that you mention it, I seem to recall it—I remember there's also a flying Beast Taming, right? Isn't it this one?"

"It shouldn't be, look at how small that dragon's wings are. Can it fly?"

Hearing someone say it couldn't fly, Dong Jun turned his head and looked dissatisfied at the person who had spoken.

So what if I can't fly, it's not like I ate your family's rice.

"Crouch down." Chen Xing asked Dong Jun to crouch, and then he mounted Dong Jun's shoulders.

Dong Jun's body was covered with smooth scales, which would have been difficult to sit on steadily if Chen Xing's physical fitness hadn't soared post-Transcendence.

Chen Xing rested one hand on the small horn atop Dong Jun's round head.

Um...

It's just a little uncomfortable to sit.

Dong Jun's scales were quite hard, like wearing a suit of rigid plate armor.

But luckily, I came prepared.

Chen Xing took out a cushion from his storage ring to pad underneath his bottom.

That made it much more comfortable.

"Everyone keep up, don't fall behind," Lu Xueshuang called out from the front, and the main force began to move out.

The class of 96 was divided into four groups.

Each group maintained a distance of hundreds of meters apart, spreading out the team's range and allowing more time to prepare for attacks.

For the Beast Taming, such a distance was not far.

Those with speedy movement could cover it in a second or two.

The surrounding students were tremendously excited, brimming with energy and fascinating at everything around them.

Some couldn't help but pick up a flower when they saw one at their feet.

A group of people chatted and laughed, some even riding on their tame beasts.

Sitting on Dong Jun's shoulder, Chen Xing took out a map and checked their direction and current position.

The first half of the journey was through plain terrain, with open vistas, sparse forests, and low shrubs beyond them.

There weren't many monsters living on this plain, and any that did would not dare approach.

Observing from atop Dong Jun's shoulders, Chen Xing found the view quite nice.

At nearly twelve meters in height, it was as if Chen Xing sat on top of a watchtower.

Chen Xing noticed a group of creatures resembling hyenas trailing far behind the group, seemingly looking for stragglers to target.

"I'll go chase away that pack of spotted hyenas," said a taller boy from the group, frowning.

"Never mind, let's not invite trouble. Plus, they'll just run off if we approach since they're so far away."

Suddenly, a milky-white light hammer flew from the group.

The hammer spun in the air, tracing a beautiful arc, and then hit one of the spotted hyenas precisely.

The struck hyena split open instantly, like a bag full of fluid being ripped apart, spilling red, green, and yellow all over the ground.

"Aim for the head, not the belly," Chen Xing advised.

Since there was nothing else to do, and it wasn't clear how long the journey would take, practicing skills by fighting monsters was a good idea.

But to their surprise, after one of their members died, the remaining spotted hyenas retreated.

A call that no one knew where it came from emanated from the pack, and the hyenas ran off in a chaotic yet orderly fashion.

Now I can't practice my skills... what a pity.

Chen Xing felt a bit regretful; these wild monsters in the wilderness were too cautious.

The slightest rustling would send them running for their lives.

In terms of continuing their species and preserving their bloodlines, they had developed to perfection.

Over time, the once chatty students gradually fell silent.

The atmosphere within the group grew heavier, and even the most animated students no longer felt like talking.

"It's so hot," someone uttered.

No one answered.

Someone just pulled out a bottle of mineral water from their backpack and started gulping it down.

At this time, students with larger tame beasts couldn't help but feel relieved; at least they could sit down and didn't have to walk on foot.

Those with smaller tame beasts had to use their own legs to measure the land.

Good heavens, a thousand kilometers...

It was a thousand kilometers of wilderness, with uneven ground and rough terrain, each step more strenuous than on a paved road.

But as time passed, the team gradually began to work together more harmoniously.

Some offered rides to classmates who couldn't ride on their tame beasts.

Students with Water Element Beast Taming abilities released their Water Element Skills into the sky.

The Water Element Skills that exploded in the sky above dispersed in all directions, drops of water falling on everyone's body, briefly driving away a bit of the scorching heat and bringing coolness to the crowd.

Chen Xing seemed to realize the underlying purpose behind the military training.

Dong Jun weighed a small hammer in his palm.

Aiming at a monster two hundred meters away, hidden in the bushes, that resembled a lynx.

The small hammer, radiating a warm white light, danced up and down in his palm.

The next second, propelled by a force, the hammer flew out in a beautiful arc through the air and hit the monster's head with precision.

The lynx turned into a headless lynx.

Proficiency Level +1.

The other students were not surprised by this; the human-like Beast Taming creature had been freely casting skills all along the way, targeting all the wild monsters en route.

Its Magic Power seemed inexhaustible, casting a spell every so often as if it cost nothing.

At night, the group found a place to camp behind a gigantic boulder that sheltered them from the wind.

This place was precisely on the leeward side. Moreover, the terrain was open, and it was possible to maintain excellent defense by simply assigning some Beast Tamers to keep watch at night.

The main concern was underground, but some Earth Element Beast Tamers had buried themselves in the ground for surveillance.

Huge beasts were positioned on the outermost perimeter, smaller ones closer to the center, and the smallest ones on the inside.

This way, even if a fight were to suddenly erupt, the confusion would not lead to them trampling over each other.

In the center of the camp, a few people sat by the campfire, and the wood crackled as it burned.

Song Yanming added a few dry branches to the fire and slowly said, "You all saw the map. According to the marked locations, we've only covered 50 kilometers today... If we keep up this pace, we won't make it to the end."

"We'll have to speed up tomorrow," said Lu Xueshuang, nodding.

"And our goal is not just to reach the end. We are from Class One of the North Zhai Academy. If we don't even make the top three in the end..." Song Yanming didn't finish his sentence, but the other four understood his meaning.

"Let's aim to cover at least a hundred kilometers tomorrow. I checked the map, and the first half is mostly plains, so we can speed up appropriately."

While they were chatting, the ground under their feet trembled slightly.

Stones on the ground began to hop around...

"Is it a herd of beasts?"

"No, it doesn't feel like the ground. It's more like..."

Suddenly, two claws extended from the ground nearby. The Mane Rock Earth Escape Rat, assigned to guard against underground threats, burrowed up and then stood upright.

It took a deep breath, its chest swelling, and then opened its mouth wide. Its piercing scream echoed across the plain: "Ahh—"

The people sleeping were awakened.

"Be careful of what's beneath us!" Song Yanming shouted.

On the periphery of the camp, Chen Xing, who had been reading a book while leaning against Dong Jun's belly, put the book away.

In fact, he had sensed the abnormal noise of that monster underground when it was still far away.

However, they had several Earth Element Beast Tamers on guard beneath their feet, and even if he didn't say anything, these Beast Tamers would have detected the approaching creature.

Indeed, the underground monster had been nearby for quite some time, but at first, it didn't approach directly. It circled around from a distance several times before drawing closer.

One had to admit, it was indeed cautious, and it was a creature that lurked deep within the earth.

Rumble rumble...

The shaking of the ground grew more intense.

Many students were in disarray, some flying into the sky, and others running towards nearby boulders, preparing to dodge an underground attack.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xing finally spoke up, "The target is coming from beneath. All Beast Tamers with Earthquake abilities, release your Earthquake Skills together!"

In the midst of the chaos, Chen Xing's voice reached everyone's ears.

Six Beast Tamers gathered.

Usually, only large-bodied Earth Element creatures learn this skill.

The six Beast Tamers unleashed their Earthquake skills in unison.

Visible earthquake waves spread outwards.

The ground beneath their feet shook violently.

The trembling earth gradually subsided...

The noise from beneath the ground quieted down, and all became still.

Some breathed a sigh of relief.

Had the earthquake driven the monster away?

The next second, the ground burst open violently!

Dust billowed, and stones flew.

A creature, resembling a desert sandworm but magnified countless times, its entire body milky white, with layers of folds stacking up, and its daisy-shaped mouthpiece brazenly wide open, was bellowing up to the sky.
