After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chapter 142: Chapter 124 – The Giant Crocodile Attacks

“Come on! Whether the tutor can make a quick buck depends on you now,” Han Yuning said with a smile, cheering Chen Xing on.

Shortly after hanging up the phone, his sister’s call came through. As soon as he answered, Chen Lingya looked at Chen Xing, “Do you feel confident about tomorrow’s match?”

“I’m aiming for the championship, so of course I’m confident. What about you? I heard your opponents tomorrow are strong,” Chen Xing replied.

“We’re okay, our opponents tomorrow aren’t as much pressure as yours,” Chen Lingya paused for a moment.

After chatting with his sister for a while, Chen Xing realized she was under a lot of pressure.

The higher the stage of the High School Cup, the stronger the opponents become.

His sister’s teammates were only mediocre at best; she was the one who had single-handedly led them to win the Shu State Cup.

Now at the High School Cup, the weaknesses of her teammates left her feeling helpless.

After comforting his sister for a bit, he hung up the phone.

Thud thud.

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Xing opened the door and saw Coach Kuang standing outside.

“Let’s go, it’s time to plan out tomorrow’s tactics,” Kuang Shiyi said, “You’ve locked yourself in your room as soon as you got back. What’s the matter, losing confidence in yourself?”

“Why would I lose confidence?”

Chen Xing made eye contact with the coach and then got up to put on his jacket.

Upon arriving at the coach’s room, the other teammates were already waiting there.

“This is the intel I’ve gathered.”

“Coach, I’ve got some intel on Longdu Star High School as well,” Chen Xing interjected.

Chen Xing forwarded the intel his tutor had sent him to the coach.

Kuang Shiyi opened the document from Chen Xing, looking at him in surprise.

The information Chen Xing had provided was much more detailed.

It was considerably more comprehensive than what he had collected himself.

“Then let’s use Chen Xing’s intel,” he said.

The others had already guessed who had provided Chen Xing with this information.

“Longdu Star High School is famously one of the Top Five Tiger Teams in the High School Cup, and even among those teams, they rank towards the top. In the thirty-three editions of the High School Cup, Longdu Star has won the championship four times!”

“So Longdu Star also has another nickname, the ‘Four-Time Champions’.”

“The last time Longdu Star won the championship was the year before last, and they’re among the favorites to win again this year…”

The more they heard about the intel, the greater the pressure felt by the four teammates other than Chen Xing.

“Coach, stop it, we’ve only ever achieved our school’s best record ourselves,” one of them said.

“Wrong, to be precise, it was our junior here who led us to it,” said Wu Ju with a sense of self-awareness.

Tian Xuechuan puffed out his chest, “Who says so? Without us, the match couldn’t even take place.”

“???”

The others looked at him with strange expressions.

You’re truly a piece of work, what a unique point of view.

“Ah, but seriously, the pressure is really immense, especially since it’s on their home turf,” Tong Xuhua massaged his face.

“Their team has five very strong members, including a substitute player. Unlike other teams, where subs are usually half a notch below the main players, Longdu Star’s subs are not like that.

Their lineup is quite flexible because they can only register five players, so their squad is different. The only shortcoming, if any, is that their team lacks aerial beasts, and that could be a point for us to target.”

“Here are the details on the five members’ ace beasts; take a look,” he continued.

Chen Xing had already reviewed the intel.

A 47-energy level Metal Tooth Black Jade Lion, a 49-energy level Weather Cactus Beast, a 48-energy level Lantern King Fish, a 50-energy level Thunderblade Demon Puppet, a 55-energy level Earth Gyre Dragon.

There was one Metal System beast, one Wood Element beast, one Thunder Element beast, and two Water Element beasts.

Among them, the team captain’s ace was the Water Element Earth Gyre Dragon.

A Dragon Breed Beast, a sub-dragon creature that naturally lives in underground rivers, it can manipulate water flows and has a slender and elongated physique.

“Their team’s style is actually somewhat similar to Chen Xing’s; their most advantageous lineup is assembling a Water Element Beast team with the Earth Gyre Dragon as the core, then pairing it with the Lantern King Fish and Weather Cactus Beast, and finally, adding either the Metal Tooth Black Jade Lion or the Thunderblade Demon Puppet as support.

But I would bet they’ll likely go with the Metal Tooth Black Jade Lion because, despite the Thunderblade Demon Puppet’s higher energy level, it is of the Thunder Element, and we’ve seen Chen Xing’s Sìxiàng Shényīng demonstrate an ability to absorb Thunder Element skills and increase its power. So they might choose to field the Metal Tooth Black Jade Lion instead,” Kuang Shiyi speculated.

He paused before adding, “Of course, there’s a small chance they’ll still field the Thunderblade Demon Puppet. That would suggest they’re very confident, believing even the stacked passive of the Sìxiàng Shényīng won’t pose a threat.”

“And according to the intel, their Lantern King Fish can also create a massive flood, transforming the field into a flooded battleground…” Kuang Shiyi said, then turned to look at Chen Xing.

The Lantern King Fish fought in a manner akin to Chen Xing’s Taotie.

When attributes and fighting styles are similar, it comes down to the individual quality of the beasts.

Moreover, they had another beast that thrived in the water, the Earth Gyre Dragon.

“Fighting any other formation might be tough, but they are a Water Element team…” Chen Xing looked at his team, hinting, “Trust me on this, you could use your connections to bet on us winning, and give everyone a chance to hit it big.”

Wen Jin showed a flicker of realization, thinking of Chen Xing’s Salty Bay Crocodile that hadn’t seen action for quite some time.

It had been a long while since he last saw it.

Could it be… he was really capable of creating a miracle?

…

With some influential individuals stirring the pot, the match that would progress from sixty-four to thirty-two attracted a lot of attention.

The venue for the match was set to be B01.

The venues starting with ‘A’ were used for university-level matches, while those starting with ‘B’ were for high school competitions.

B01 was located in the northern part of Longdu, a newly built large-scale sports stadium.
