After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chapter 130: Chapter 117 First Victory

In front of the TV, Chen Guohai and Liu Yuzhen sat side by side on the couch. Today was the high school cup opening ceremony, and the couple had gotten up early to eat breakfast and turned on the TV.

At the same time, they inadvertently shared this event in their family chat group without really meaning to.

Instantly, it drew the envy of all their relatives.

After all, it was quite a brag-worthy event that both their daughter and son had entered the high school cup simultaneously.

Suddenly, Liu Yuzhen’s phone vibrated. She looked down and saw a message from the family group chat.

She quickly glanced over it and then said to Chen Guohai, “It’s a message from your cousin Guozhong, telling us to watch the local TV station.”

Chen Guohai picked up the remote control and switched the channel to the local station.

The couple just so happened to see a reporter interviewing Chen Xing.

Looking at their son on the TV, looking proud and ambitious, Liu Yuzhen couldn’t help but squint and smile, saying teasingly, “The kid is much handsomer than you were at his age.”

Chen Guohai listened, smiled faintly, and said, “The blue comes out of the indigo but is bluer than indigo; it’s only natural for him to be better than me.”

Although Chen Guohai’s words revealed a hint of modesty, his eyes were filled with pride.

Sitting on the sofa, Liu Yuzhen couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “I wonder if they interviewed Lingya too, ah well, I’ll check later to see if there is a replay.”

…

Guided by the staff, Chen Xing and his team entered the Peak Arena in an orderly manner through a nearby passage.

Inside the huge arena, streamers and balloons were intertwined and hanging, colorful and bright, like a series of splendid rainbows.

Graceful Beast Tamers occasionally flew across the sky.

The whole arena was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, with the cheering and shouting of the audience rising and falling incessantly.

When Chen Xing and his team entered the arena, the opening ceremony parade was nearly at its end.

The team blended in at the tail end of the procession, and Tong Xuhua self-deprecatingly said, “We’re like the unremarkable ones among a group of big shots.”

“Tong Bro, I actually think that’s quite fitting, isn’t your Beast Taming creature the Frenzied Blazing Ape?”

“…” Tong Xuhua took a deep breath, “Reserve members, please don’t talk to me.”

Tian Xuechuan’s smile stiffened, “???”

You’ve changed; you used to call me Little Tian or Xuechuan, and now you’re directly referring to me as a reserve member.

After the grand opening ceremony ended, Chen Xing and the others left the arena from the other side.

The coach needed to go backstage for the draw to determine their opponent.

Before leaving, Tian Xuechuan grabbed the coach’s arm, “Coach Kuang, make sure to wash your hands before drawing lots!”

Kuang Shiyi replied irritably, “Don’t pull on me, get lost! Whomever we draw today, we fight them. Who believes in that stuff?”

After walking away and out of sight of the students behind him, Kuang Shiyi paused and looked at a restroom nearby, hesitated for a moment, then went inside.

When he came out, he was wiping his hands with paper and muttering, “I’m just going to wash my hands.”

…

That afternoon, Chen Xing and his team received the news about their match opponents for the day.

“Nanzhou Jishang High School, the match location is at B17 sub-arena, tomorrow morning, the second match.” Kuang Shiyi sat on the side, his lips slightly upturned.

“Never heard of them.” “We got a good draw!”

Meanwhile, another team, the moment they received the results, also searched for information on Azure Dragon No. 8 High School with a sense of shared insight.

“Coach, we’re set! The other side is also a weak team!”

A teammate next to him glared at him, “Why did you add an ‘also’?”

In the evening while chatting with his sister, Chen Xing learned that Chen Lingya was not very lucky and was assigned to a top hundred team; she would have a tough battle the next day.

But from between the lines, it was clear that Chen Lingya was very confident.

Chen Xing also had confidence, after all, Chi Yu had eaten his pet food.

The next day, they arrived at sub-arena B17.

Compared to the liveliest arena, the sub-arena was obviously much quieter.

There weren’t as many spectators, after all, this was just a high school section competition, and neither of the two teams was particularly popular.

Only some spectators who hadn’t managed to get tickets to other venues had chosen to come here.

In the stands, the audience sat in scattered clusters, some chatting, some eating, and others looking at their phones.

“Yueyue, I told you that high school matches aren’t worth watching, but you insisted on dragging me here,” a girl in a blue dress complained to her best friend on the stands.

The girl in the denim jacket and short hair comforted her, “We didn’t manage to get tickets. Tickets for Modu Yunlong’s team are too hard to get. Anyway, since we’re here, let’s just pick a venue to kill time, and tomorrow we’ll go watch Yunlong High School’s match.”

“But it feels like their level is just so-so, I feel like even we could do better,” the girl in the blue dress sighed.

“You’re comparing them to a sophomore in college. What’s the comparison to these high schoolers?” the short-haired girl found it amusing.

“I’m not comparing myself to them, but I paid money for a match to watch something spectacular.”

“Alright, stop complaining. The second match is about to start,” the short-haired girl quickly interjected.

She didn’t like to argue with her friend, especially in front of a crowd.

On the field, with the assistance of a Senior Beast Tamer, the area that had been a mess was now back in order. The field featured a large patch of sand on the left side and a pool with varying depths on the right.

The overall ratio of land to water areas was 1:1.

The ceiling over the venue was very high, open to the sky.

It was about seventy to eighty meters tall, with a restriction that flying Beast Taming creatures must not exceed the boundaries of the venue.

“Chen Xing will go up for the first match,” Coach Kuang Shiyi looked at the several team members backstage, hesitated a moment, then decided not to let the substitutes take the stage.

After all, it was the first match, and although the opponent wasn’t very strong, as the saying goes, we must despise the enemy strategically but take them seriously tactically.
