Beast Tamer: The pet is just to help me build a bond

Chapter 83 Five-Star High School Student

In the office, Lu Dong looked at Chen Wen carefully.

Chen Wen also looked at the instructor with curiosity.

"How does it feel to get five in a row? How does it feel to get the magic core?" Lu Dong asked expressionlessly.

"Of course it's great..."

Chen Wen answered with a smile, and then added: "But I also know that getting five in a row was luck, and as for obtaining the magic core, it was mainly due to the kindness of the school."

"It's good that the tail isn't up in the air!"

Lu Dong nodded and said, "Your current ability can barely rank in the upper middle among all the students participating in the competition in Xichuan Province. Pride and arrogance will only ruin you."

Chen Wen heard this and asked curiously, "Teacher Lu, how do you judge strength?"

He still trusted Lu Dong's judgment. The reason he asked this was mainly because he wanted to know from him the strength of other contestants so that he could have a clear positioning of himself.

Hearing this, Lu Dong frowned and said, "This is rather troublesome, but since you asked, I'll give you a rough idea."

After a moment's silence, Lu Dong told the story.

"Last year, a newspaper ranked participating high school students, with one star being the lowest and five stars being the highest. Although it was not very rigorous, it was enough to roughly classify the strengths of the participating students.

A one-star high school student, his talent for taming beasts cannot improve the combat effectiveness of his pet beasts. His pet beasts have the potential of being ordinary extraordinary, and their strength is between the seventh and eighth levels of ordinary mortals.

Compared with one-star high school students, two-star high school students either have talents that can improve the combat power of their pets, or their pets have the potential to be elite and extraordinary. Xu Song is probably between one-star and two-star.

A three-star high school student with a talent for taming beasts that can improve the combat effectiveness of his pet. His pet's potential is elite and his pet's strength is between the eighth and ninth levels of an ordinary beast.

Compared with three-star high school students, four-star high school students mostly have rare and extraordinary pet potential. Wang Wei, who was tied by you, is probably at this level.

Five-star high school students, not to mention their talents, their pets basically have the potential to start from the elite extraordinary level, and their strength level has reached the tenth level of ordinary people, and they may be promoted to extraordinary pets at any time.

Your talent is helpful in combat. Although your pet's potential is only at the elite level, its overall quality is no worse than that of a rare level. It's just that its strength is not at the late stage of the mortal level, so you can be considered a three-star high school student."

Chen Wen nodded, agreeing with Lu Dong's judgment.

In the beast taming battle with Wang Wei last week, he was actually at a complete disadvantage, and only achieved a draw due to the rules. Now Po is indeed no match for the rare pet beasts in the late mortal stage.

Lu Dong said: "Of course, strength involves too many factors, and the outcome of the battle is not only related to the level of strength."

Chen Wen nodded to show that he understood, and then asked, "What level are the president and his team at?"

Lu Dong replied: "Yang Wenhan has four stars, Zhang Dewang and Ge Yin are only three stars..."

"Such a dish..."

Halfway through his words, Chen Wen quickly covered his mouth.

"Dish?"

Lu Dong shook his head and said, "Most of the schools' representative teams are not as strong as No. 1 Middle School. Annan Middle School is definitely not a weak team."

Nodding, Chen Wen asked again: "So what kind of strength do you need to have to advance to the national competition?"

Lu Dong thought for a moment and said, "We need to have at least three high school students with four stars or above."

"We had three four-star high school students on our school team last year?" Chen Wen asked puzzledly.

Lu Dong shook his head: "No, until the semi-finals we only had two four-star high school students, but it's better than three."

Chen Wen suddenly realized that in this kind of competition system, if the pet has sufficient spiritual energy and physical strength, one can easily defeat two or three.

After all, he had just completed a feat of winning five in a row last week. Seeing that Chen Wen understood, Lu Dong said, "Just as you thought, Feng Chuixue defeated two four-star high school students in the semifinals of the provincial qualifiers last year, which helped the school win a ticket to the national competition."

After recounting Feng Chuixue's story, Lu Dong looked at Chen Wen and said, "Under the current competition system, your talent is extremely advantageous. As long as A Bao is strong, you can beat two or three high school students of the same level."

Chen Wen thought about it and found that it was true.

His "Bond" talent can add blue to Abao, which is indeed very suitable for round-robin battles.

As long as Po is strong, getting five in a row again won't be a problem.

"With Yang Wenhan and the others, it won't be difficult to advance to the top 16. But the subsequent matches are all between colleges and universities in the province. No. 1 Middle School won't be able to go far relying on just the three of them."

Having said that, Lu Dong looked directly into Chen Wen's eyes.

"On December 12, the round of 10 will begin. To be on the safe side, I hope you can work hard to get Po to the seventh level of Mortal Body before December 12.

After reaching the seventh level of Mortal Formation, Po's overall quality will be further improved. By then, you should be able to reach the level of a four-star high school student. Only then will we have a chance to compete for a ticket to the national competition."

A Bao, who is at the sixth stage of mortal body, can at most bully elite pets with extraordinary potential. He does not pose much threat to four-star high school students. If he does that, Qinghe No. 1 Middle School will not get far.

Only when Abao advances to the seventh level of mortal body can Qinghe No. 1 Middle School be considered a first-tier team.

After listening to Lu Dong's words, Chen Wen suddenly felt under great pressure.

At the same time, he also felt a little excited.

At that age of passionate and immature, who wouldn’t want to turn the tide and save the collapsing building?
Leading teammates to the national competition on their own makes my blood boil just thinking about it.

However, Chen Wen still had some rationality and raised his doubts: "The seventh stage of the mortal body is a big bottleneck. It usually takes several months to break through."

"I know!"

Lu Dong nodded and asked, "Guess why I gave you an earth attribute magic core as a reward?"

The most important thing about magic cores for pets is to improve their strength. As for acquiring skills, that is just a byproduct and may not necessarily lead to success.

"Is it used to help Po advance to the next level?"

Chen Wen suddenly realized, then frowned and said: "With Abao's physique, it is not enough to absorb the magic core, right?"

The magic core contains extraordinary spiritual energy. Given Po's current physical condition, forcibly absorbing it would cause great harm to him.

Even if we advance, it will be useless if Po is seriously injured and can't play.

He originally planned to let Abao devour it after Abao advanced to the late mortal stage.

Lu Dong had already considered everything and said, "The school has specially hired a senior trainer. He will come to the school tomorrow. He will then develop a suitable training plan for Abao to quickly improve Abao's physique.

Po's physique is already very strong, and after three weeks of special training, it should be strong enough to devour the primary magic core.

Even if there are any injuries after the promotion, we can go to the Central Hospital for quick treatment. Two days is enough for Abao to recover and will not delay the round of 16."

Chen Wen listened to how Lu Dong even arranged time for Abao to recover from his injuries, and nodded in admiration: "Great, teacher!"

After a pause, Chen Wen asked, "Will this not hurt A-Po's potential?"

It's okay to take some risks to improve your strength, but it would be a big loss to hurt Po's potential.

Lu Dong assured: "We will communicate with the animal breeder and will never use the method of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Even if there are side effects, we will definitely get your consent in advance."
