My Card Beast Taming Game

Jin Siye also said, "Junior Zhou Chen, I may not come to the school team often, but you can come to me if you need anything."

Zhou Chen added everyone as a friend.

The leader of the hunting squad held the card, a broad smile on his face.

They won't sell the Dragon Shark card; nobody sells an ultra-rare lord card.

All the dungeon lords are of a type whose actual value far exceeds their market price, and with the Gold Card being restricted from sale to the outside world, it is difficult to predict their price.

The two parties then parted ways.

On the return journey, Ji Xue slowed down the pterosaur's flight speed and asked, "How are you? Tired?"

"A little."

Zhou Chen breathed evenly. It was the first time he had realized how tiring dissection could be; no wonder so many people refused to do it.

I used to feel tired occasionally, but I would recover quickly after a short rest and could finish completely after another two or three minutes.

Unlike dissecting the dungeon lord, the Savage Dragon Shark, which took him several hours!

Ji Xue said softly, "Once you advance to the intermediate level, doing this kind of thing will be much easier. There aren't many children as diligent as you. Study hard, and you will have a bright future in the Myriad Laws Sect."

"Ok."

Zhou Chen nodded.

Then, Ji Xue escorted Zhou Chen back to the outside of Bai Ze Palace.

As he passed through the front gate of the hall, he couldn't help but turn to ask the One-Horned Lion, "Are all the masters of the Myriad Laws Sect so fond of praising people?"

I've been a member of the sect for over half a month, and so far I haven't met anyone who has said a bad word about him.

Everyone's friendly comments made him feel quite smug.

The one-horned Chow Chow tilted its head and said, "You want to be scolded?"

Zhou Chen: "That's not quite right..."

"Don't worry, once you join the school team, you'll have plenty of opportunities to be scolded. You're not perfect in every way."

The one-horned Chow Chow chuckled.

When Zhou Chen challenged the school team selectors and Xuan Shan, he didn't do everything right. It's just that the others did worse and lost the game, which is why he wasn't criticized by the Star Parrot.

People tend to be results-oriented; if you win, everything you do is right.

Zhou Chen listened and found it rather frightening.

Duomu Baigao squatted in front of the Bai Ze statue. Bai Lao was also there today. With his back to Baigao, Baigao asked, "You're back? Was it fun?"

"……good."

Zhou Chen didn't expect that the first question Bai Lao asked him would be whether it was fun. "I successfully made the card, Master. Brother Sun and the others gave me ten contribution points."

"Haha, it seems they also think you're a lucky star."

Bai Shounian laughed and turned around, saying, "Don't pay too much attention to the gossip of other classmates. You are a lucky star, not a jinx."

Zhou Chen was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I won't mind, Master."

The title of "jinx" is indeed contrary to the reason why Bai Shounian accepted him as a disciple, but after learning about it, he did not intend to interfere and also prevented others from interfering.

Whether Zhou Chen's fate is good or bad is not for anyone to decide.

The future will be clearly revealed to everyone.

"Would you like a Dharma name?"

Bai Shounian asked in a low voice.

Zhou Chen thought for a moment, then knelt down and said, "Please bestow a name upon me, Master."

A Dharma name is essentially the same as a courtesy name in ancient times; it's best to have one, but it's not essential.

Bai Shounian stood up and helped him up: "Get up, get up. We don't kneel here. Except for the kowtow ceremony when you become an apprentice, it's not necessary at other times."

"..."

Zhou Chen's cheeks flushed slightly; he mainly learned this from novels and period dramas.

Bai Shounian chuckled and said, “It’s a good thing for young people to respect their teachers. Hmm… By your generation, our Wanfa Sect should have adopted the character ‘Heng’ (恒). How about calling him Hengzhen? Heng means eternal, and Zhen means auspicious. Hengzhen means long-lasting good fortune.”

Hengzhen?

When Zhou Chen first heard this name, he subconsciously thought it was the Zhen from Su Xuanzhen's name, but he only realized the difference after Elder Bai explained it to him.

Although the two may seem similar in pronunciation and form, their meanings are completely different.

The character "Zhen" in Su Xuanzhen's name represents his parents' hope that he would grow into a pillar of the Su family, signifying the "pillar of the nation."

Zhou Chen's name, Zhen, means auspiciousness.

"Thank you, Master Xie."

He politely thanked them.

Bai Shounian gently patted his head, "Good boy, focus on your studies, your future is limitless."

Zhou Chen took the array disk outside.

The unicorn chow followed behind, and only after leaving the Baize Palace did it say, "Then I'll call you Hengzhen from now on, it sounds auspicious."

You can call me whatever you want.

Zhou Chen had become quite familiar with the Chow Chow, and he spoke his mind to it freely. "Let's get started. Today we'll learn about the six-card array of the same type of card."

"Six cards? Your mental strength has increased again?"

The Chow Chow, who was slightly touched by Zhou Chen's response, was shocked. "Are you human? It's only been a short time."

Zhou Chen: "Hey!"

"It's only September! Your progress is outrageous! I've never seen anything like this in all these years!" The one-horned Chow Chow was getting a little excited.

So much so that it didn't even notice when the multi-eyed white goose came out.

When Du Mu Bai Gao learned of Zhou Chen's progress, he was also somewhat surprised, "The name Heng Zhen may not have been a mistake."

With Zhou Chen's Buddhist name finalized.

For many days afterward, the teachers of all subjects addressed him by his real name, Zhou Chen, instead of his real name.

They generally felt that this was Haku's beautiful vision for the long-lasting good fortune of Shintoin Temple.

Chapter 187: Training Camp in the Divine Capital

The first person to know that Zhou Chen had a Buddhist name was Lu Qingning.

He told me on his own initiative.

"That's good. Elder Bai has treated you well. You must take good care of your master in the future." Lu Qingning praised the Dharma name highly.

Who wouldn't like good fortune and happiness?

However, she never changed how she addressed Zhou Chen.

On the surface, Lu Qingning always calls him Zhou Chen, but in private she has already reverted to the "Little Chen" she used to be when she was young. However, she seriously refused when Zhou Chen wanted to call her Ningning, saying that it would give her goosebumps.

How domineering!

Zhou Chen was filled with regret.

Since entering the Divine Capital Academy, the two have not seen each other often, as they are both busy with their own things, but their relationship has never grown distant.

Occasionally, they would each abandon their best friends and the dogs that followed them, and wander around the little capital city.

This made Zhou Chen feel that there was only a thin veil separating them.

But no one dared to expose it.

Both of them actually enjoyed this kind of relationship that was just enough to keep things under control, as it didn't create any burden and provided them with emotional comfort.

Taking another step forward could easily create additional troubles.

Love is never just about ease and joy; it also involves pain and sorrow.

These two underage childhood sweethearts used their ambiguous feelings as an antidote to excessive meditation, to the point that Han Baobao and Mei Xian both noticed that Lu Qingning's temper had improved a lot recently.

The two felt something was very wrong.

Unfortunately, there was no way to investigate, and they were all very busy.

Han Baobao officially joined the student council's discipline inspection department. Although her best friend beat up two department heads, everyone in the discipline inspection department took good care of her.

The student union is a highly cohesive organization that does not tolerate any form of internal bullying.

In addition, everyone really hopes that Han Baobao can trick Lu Qingning into joining. Since Li Feijin was promoted to president, the position of vice president has been vacant.

The reason is that the vice president is the successor to the next president and is being groomed to be the president. However, the five department heads are either in the same grade as Li Feijin or a year ahead of her, which does not meet the requirements for vice president.

Currently, there are very few second-year students in the student council who are qualified for this position.

Lu Qingning is definitely capable.

Han Baobao responded to this—

Why can't I be the one?

Sister Lu is ambitious, and so is Sister Han. She didn't join the student council just to play house or gain seniority.

Receiving second-tier treatment from Shen Du Yuan has been a lifelong humiliation for Han Baobao.

She wanted to use the student council to wash away this shame.

Therefore, during this period she was attending classes and participating in student council activities, and even had fewer opportunities to meet Lu Qingning.

Mei Xian, needless to say, was not in the same college as the other two. At most, she would greet Han Baobao when she went out in the morning.

Surprisingly, she became quite close to Kaori Utsunomiya.

Kaori Utsunomiya enrolled in many elective courses at the Secret Realm Academy, and she always seemed to run into Mei Xian. Through Zhou Chen, the two of them gradually became acquainted.

Thus, the first month of the new students' semester at Shendu Academy quietly passed.

During this time, Zhou Chen successfully extinguished the forest fire in the ultra-high-level dungeon, and also completely confirmed why the areas that had been extinguished would continue to burn every time he re-entered the dungeon.

Initially, it was thought to be a reignition, but it was later discovered that the secret realm not only does not extinguish fires automatically, but also allows destroyed plants to regrow in a very short time.

With combustible materials being replenished rapidly, the fire was naturally difficult to extinguish.

Fortunately, thanks to the tireless efforts of Zhou Chen and the Spirit of the Sea, the Tiger King instance was restored to a bright and sunny day.

congratulations.

When the fire was completely extinguished, his mental strength increased slightly.

Level 25 achieved.

Can you level up five levels in two and a half months?

If you tell this to a Chow Chow with a single horn, that guy will probably be terrified.

Zhou Chen is very confident in his mental strength growth, and his skills in the Dao of Array Domain are also quite remarkable.

After experiencing the array of six core cards of the same type, he returned to the two-card array, but this time it was a single-function array of different cards. Later, he also came into contact with single-function arrays of different cards with multiple skills.

The difficulty increases level by level.

Although I don't succeed every time, I at least complete the corresponding tasks smoothly every day, which is quite an achievement.

At the same time, the school team's reserve selection competition concluded, and the names of fifty students were announced to the entire school.

There are 20 fourth-grade students, 14 third-grade students, 11 second-grade students, and 5 first-grade students.

Besides Zhou Chen, Su Xuanzhen, and Lu Qingning, the other two first-year students are named Song Xian and Zhang Ruyi, one boy and one girl.

Zhang Ruyi ranked third in the unified entrance examination, while Song Xian was admitted without examination.

Zhou Chen was quite surprised. He remembered Lu Qingning saying that there were quite a few strong people among the aristocratic scions who chose Shen Du Academy in the summer camp.

None of them made it onto the school team's substitutes?

It is evident that although the Divine Capital Academy does not discriminate against scions of aristocratic families on the surface, the actual treatment it provides is still not as good as that of students admitted through the general entrance examination.

Three students will be admitted through the regular admission process!
