19: Old Black's training method. [Rapid Leap]
Du Yong originally wanted to find a few offensive beasts to conduct offensive and defensive drills with Lin Chuan. Simply put, the opponent's beast would attack, and Old Black would defend, which seemed to train the beast's resistance to blows.
However, Lin Chuan thought about it and still refused.
It wasn't that he was worried about Old Black, but mainly because there was no benefit.
The purple advancement fruit needed to absorb combat experience to mature. This kind of simple practice of taking hits wouldn't provide any combat experience to absorb; both sides had to have Battle Intent.
Moreover, Old Black's counter-damage was no joke. What if the opponent's beast died during the fight? Would Lin Chuan have to compensate?
Lin Chuan would not do a losing business.
After beating up Huang Wei, he lost nearly a month and a half's worth of resources, which made Lin Chuan's heart ache terribly.
Furthermore, Lin Chuan didn't plan to expose Old Black's trump card so early. If he had to show his hand, it would definitely be during the class exam.
Preferably, his first battle would be against Yan Ritian.
Still trying to snatch my Lin Chuan's reward? Dream on!
...Ultimately, Lin Chuan found a suitable training method for him and Old Black.
Lin Chuan sat cross-legged on Old Black's back, looking perfectly at ease, and had Old Black circle the training hall, calling it: weighted forward movement.
Then, when passing by other people's beasts, a slight, 'unintentional' contact was also unavoidable.
After circling around, he had probed most of them.
However, Yan Ritian, that sly old fox, seemed to have always been wary of Lin Chuan, not giving him any opportunities.
Lin Chuan didn't care; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Lin Chuan kept the attributes of the beasts he had probed in mind. He just needed to wait for the red skill fruit to mature and then directly imprint them according to priority.
The two red skill fruits he obtained at noon, one was used on Ye Yao's Ghost Jellyfish.
Elemental Field Lv1 (Active: Uses water elements to suspend the body in the air for 10 minutes.)
As Lin Chuan expected, the skill imprinted was Elemental Field. Although Elemental Breathing was also good, Old Black was already amphibious—no, now it was land, sea, and air amphibious.
Unless it was an extremely extreme environment, Elemental Breathing wouldn't really be needed, such as outer space or lava. It was normal that it couldn't be imprinted, as it was a race-exclusive skill.
The other one was used on that pink rabbit, imprinting a skill called Air-Treading Rapid Acceleration.
Air-Treading Rapid Acceleration Lv1 (Active: When jumping suspended in the air with all four limbs, steps on the air for a burst of acceleration, moving 100 meters forward within 3 seconds.)
If this rabbit hadn't actively crashed into Lin Chuan's arms, Lin Chuan probably wouldn't have been able to touch it. And the impact force was not small; an unenhanced ordinary person might have died on the spot.
This Air-Treading Rapid Acceleration would be useless to Lin Chuan if he hadn't imprinted the Elemental Field skill.
What kind of Turtle can bounce like a rabbit?
But with Elemental Field, it's different.
The combination of the two is Divine-Grade.
A Turtle that can take off from the ground and then perform a rocket headbutt, sending you flying – that seems quite reasonable, doesn't it?
...Soon, Lin Chuan's unique training method gained him a host of female fans.
Mainly, Old Black's ugly-cute appearance, after looking at it for a while, was surprisingly adorable.
Every girl who came close couldn't help but want to stroke Old Black's head, which annoyed Old Black immensely.
It would glare at them with an expression that seemed to say, 'Are you serious?', which only made them giggle even more.
Lin Chuan touched his own face and couldn't help but wonder: Damn it, is this face still not as popular as Old Black's?
...Happy times are always short. After two or three hours of random training, school was dismissed.
Lin Chuan, with his distinctive style, successfully salvaged much of his image and quickly integrated into the class. After all, 'exploding Huang Wei' was quite a dramatic start.
It was clear that the class was roughly divided into three circles.
One was the girls' circle, about ten people, at least superficially harmonious, but the reality was hard to say.
The second was the ordinary boys' circle, the most numerous but weakest. In reality, they shouldn't even be considered a circle, as most of them did their own thing, and deserved to be exploited by Yan Hao.
Finally, there was Yan Hao, Huang Wei, and their group, the smallest in number but strongest in power, totaling four or five people, who were very united, with Yan Hao at the head.
Lin Chuan didn't intend to be a hero; he was only here for the free resources and university examination qualifications.
However, he and Yan Hao had an inherent conflict, and one of them was destined to be unlucky.
Even without the incident this morning, the conflict between Lin Chuan and Yan Hao would have been unavoidable.
After all, the winner takes all, and competing with Lin Chuan for the first-place reward was no different from taking his life.
Even, if there was an opportunity, Yan Hao's 'protection fee' business should also be taken over, and preferably, he should collect from the girls' side too.
Since Yan Hao, this guy, was already acting like a bandit, why bother with gentlemanly conduct? Isn't that just plain sick?
Third High School was too small, and even District 81 was too small.
Unbeknownst to him, Lin Chuan's gaze was no longer on the small fish and shrimp in this pond.
Perhaps it was the carefree attitude after living a second life... perhaps it was the heroic spirit of soaring into the clouds on the back of the Giant Rock Eagle King yesterday morning... perhaps it was the terrifying roars of beasts outside the city that even startled the Giant Eagle... School was dismissed before five o'clock.
Lin Chuan walked leisurely on the road, feeling incredibly content.
“It's so comfortable to go to school like this...”
Recalling those first few days after Transmigration, he slept four or five hours a day, and the rest of the time he had to memorize books and do problems. That was no way for a human to live.
Working so hard was just for a job as a beast chef or a poop scooper.
“I wonder how that guy Wang Long is doing; he's also a show-off like Yan Hao!”
There was no helping it; showing off was instinct. If I were invincible, I'd be the biggest show-off of all... “Hahaha...”
At this thought, Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh uproariously, causing the surrounding classmates to quickly dodge away.
Lin Chuan didn't care, walking towards the villa area on his own... Dozens of meters behind Lin Chuan, Ye Yao followed unhurriedly.
After all, it was on the way, and they were next-door neighbors.
Ye Yao bit her lip, wanting to catch up and walk together, but felt too embarrassed.
Moreover, she was secretly watched by bodyguards sent by her grandfather, so it was even harder to go directly to him.
It wasn't that she had any romantic feelings for Lin Chuan; it was just the first time she had heard someone express a longing for the ocean, and she found it incredibly novel, making her want to continue exchanging information about the ocean with him, as well as the 'ancient texts and sayings' he recited...
“Is Beiming the name of the sea?” “And how big is a fish like Kun, really?”
Everything captivated her.
