After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

The first official class began.

The counselor sent the location of the classroom through the class group chat to everyone, along with a class schedule.

The class schedule was packed, and Chen Xing felt it was only slightly more relaxed than during her senior year of high school.

Upperclassmen said that the first-year courses were the most intensive, the second year would be more relaxed, by junior year there would hardly be any classes left, and the senior year was for internships.

Some students formed various exploration teams, others interned at government agencies or in the military, or went back to manage work in their family businesses, and there was also a portion who crazily made up for credits and focused on their major classes...

The class group chat was established after the military training ended, pulling in everyone from the class. These past few days had been bustling, with the chat showing 99+ messages every morning upon waking up.

Because there were too many messages, Chen Xing simply set the chat to mute.

This morning's first lesson seemed to be... Monster Behavior Study.

The class was held at Jiuzhou University's third Monster Breeding Base.

The location was in the suburbs, and for breakfast, Chen Xing made two fried eggs and a bowl of fresh, freshly squeezed soy milk.

After eating, he washed his bowl leisurely and then arrived at his destination in less than a minute by riding the Sìxiàng.

The teacher, who was waiting for the students to assemble at the entrance, saw the approaching Sìxiàng and a glint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He took a long look at the Sìxiàng; he had long heard of Chen Xing's reputation.

Among the teachers responsible for the first-year students, a legend was circulating that this year's freshmen at the North Zhai Academy included a fierce guy!

"Teacher," Chen Xing jumped down from the Sìxiàng and walked to the last row of the crowd.

"Ninety-eight people in total, it looks like everyone has already assembled," Zheng Weixian pointed to a large pile of thick books laid out on the ground.

"Some students come and distribute the books."

A few minutes later, Chen Xing held a Monster Behavior Study book in his hands that was even thicker than a dictionary.

"You can take the book for now. Look over it when you have time tonight. For now, follow me into the base," Zheng Weixian's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

It was a special vocal technique that relied on the physical strength of a Super Rank Beast Tamer.

"I should clarify, during the final exam, the content for the Monster Behavior Study subject won't necessarily come from the textbook. I will randomly select six monsters from within Great Xia's territory and four from outside territories, for a total of ten species of monsters as the basis for test questions,

I guarantee that seven out of these ten monsters will be covered in the class, and for the remaining three, you will need to make judgments based on the knowledge I teach you in class.

As long as you listen attentively, passing this course won't be difficult," Zheng Weixian stated indifferently.

"Let's go, follow me into the monster breeding farm; don't lose track. Along the way, I will randomly call roll, and if you are not present when called, and haven't asked for leave, then I'm sorry, if this happens three times your course grade will directly be marked as insufficient."

Entering the third Monster Breeding Base, its scale was larger than many zoos.

The smell of animals hit them in waves, with many workers in uniforms keeping busy.

After long-term domestication, many of the monsters here had lost their wildness.

They didn't immediately attack strangers.

Zheng Weixian, walking in front, said, "Monster Behavior Study can also be understood as Beast Taming Behavior Study, which can help you in training beasts and in forming bonds with them.

More importantly, in the wild, you may not understand the monsters' language, but you cannot fail to understand their behavioral logic."

"Human language is rich and expresses meaning more precisely, hence we humans tend to rely on language to communicate. However, monsters in the wild, being of different species, rely more on body language for communication—the most obvious being intimidation!"

Zheng Weixian stopped and pointed to a group of creatures on the lawn that looked like oxen but had three horns, "Who among you recognizes this monster?"

The group looked at each other in confusion.

This was a species of monster they had never seen before; it wasn't in the Monster Manual from high school.

A voice came from the crowd, Song Yanming's: "Teacher, this seems to be a Tri-horned Ox Beast."

Zheng Weixian looked towards Song Yanming in the crowd, a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Right, it's a Tri-horned Ox Beast. Do you know more detailed information about it?"

Song Yanming's eyes flickered with a hint of embarrassment. He had once read a book with illustrations of such monsters, and thanks to his good memory, he had a bit of an impression.

But he didn't know any more specific information.

Zheng Weixian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "See, this is the situation for most of you in the wild; you can't possibly remember all the monsters."

"At times like these, if you're more proficient in the study of monster behavior, you can make a rough guess about their behavioral logic based on their species."

"The Tri-horned Ox Beast belongs to the species of oxen monsters, and many of its behavioral characteristics are somewhat related to oxen."

"For example, right now, what state do you think this group of Tri-horned Ox Beasts is in?"

Chen Xing looked at the group of Tri-horned Ox Beasts, either standing or lying down, casually swishing their tails at mosquitoes. Even someone like him, who didn't understand the study of monster behavior, could tell that they were in a very relaxed state.

Voices emerged from the crowd, and anyone with clear sight could see that the group of Tri-horned Ox Beasts was in a relaxed posture.

Zheng Weixian nodded, "Then summarize the behavioral characteristics of them being relaxed."

The students offered various answers. Zheng Weixian didn't say whether they were right or wrong but waited until everyone had finished before commenting on their answers one by one.

"Standing in a relaxed posture, that's correct... That's one."

"Oxen monsters, when feeling safe and reassured, usually stand in a normal posture. Most of the oxen monsters you see in the wild are in this kind of posture, where their ears show a relaxed, natural state, neither pricked up nor pinned back."

"Lying down to rest also counts, but this behavior only occurs when there are no other creatures nearby or when they're very relaxed. In the wild, other than young calves cuddling up to their mothers, most monsters would not expose their bellies."

"Rumination is another one. As you all know, oxen have several stomachs, one of which stores the food they need to chew again. When you see oxen leisurely ruminating, it often means they're in a relaxed and secure state."

"Foraging as well, only when they don't feel threatened and are relaxed will they forage."

"Wiggling their behinds is also correct, yes. This group of Tri-horned Ox Beasts likes to shake their buttocks when in heat. The stronger the Tri-horned Ox Beast, the greater the extent of the shaking, which shows their good health."

"Scraping the ground with the front hooves, hind legs stretched straight... Wait, hold on!"

Zheng Weixian's face changed dramatically, and he immediately summoned his Beast Taming.

A massive and majestic General Giant Pincer Crab blocked the charging Tri-horned Ox Beast.

Bang!

The General Giant Pincer Crab stood tall and unmoving, tightly clamping down on the Tri-horned Ox Beast with its two large pincers.

In the distance, a feeder responsible for the group of Tri-horned Ox Beasts was loading food. Upon seeing the commotion, he hurried over and repeatedly apologized, "I'm sorry, this female ox had a difficult birth a few days ago and delivered a stillborn calf, so she's been a bit irritable these past few days. Perhaps the sight of so many strangers today upset her."

"It's okay," Zheng Weixian said casually, waving his hand.

It wasn't until they had walked some distance that he spoke to the students with profound earnestness, "Now, this is your second lesson from me: anything is possible."

"The wild is not a teaching classroom; just as people have various temperaments, so do monsters."

"Therefore, you shouldn't think that you have mastered the character of all monsters just because you have taken this course. Such arrogance, thinking everything is under control, could be dangerous. There will sometimes be these special circumstances among monsters; you must always bear this in mind."

The class lasted the entire morning, and Zheng Weixian took the group through one-third of the area.

He taught them to recognize the basic behaviors of seventeen different major categories of monsters.

This included the basic behaviors of crocodile-type monsters.

Chen Xing compared this and realized that the many small actions Taotie showed in front of him perfectly matched; it was in a very relaxed state in front of him.

After class, Chi Ziyao wanted to ask Chen Xing to try the taste of a new cafeteria that the school had just opened, but when she turned around, she found he had disappeared.

At the library entrance, the crowd streamed by.

On a bench next to a small flowerbed by the door, a man dressed in a suit, his hair meticulously combed, was sitting and holding a book.

Hearing footsteps beside him, the man smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't come today."

Chen Xing sat down in the chair opposite him, "I never break an appointment."
