27: How can I gain weight?

On the other side.

Lin Chuan withdrew Old Hei with a look of disgust; the Three-eyed Spider had bled a lot of dark green blood onto Old Hei's back, and he would have to put her in the pool for a bath when they got back.

However, Lin Chuan was satisfied with the practical effect of Taunt plus Damage Reflection.

The inherent interaction force from their collision was already enough for the spider to have a hard time. Adding 50% Damage Reflection, and in the form of an energy attack, plus the spider's own low defense, it was like an egg hitting a rock—it shattered upon impact.

The opponent threw a punch, but she herself was doubly injured.

As Old Hei emerged victorious, a flash of purple crossed his sea of consciousness space. The advancement fruit finally showed some activity, marking a good start, and Lin Chuan felt even more elated!

He calmly walked off the stage, meeting the complex gazes of his classmates.

Amazement, fear, joy... all were present.

Du Yong's gaze was even more complex; he had initially thought the other party was just coasting, but it turned out to be a hidden giant crocodile.

He either didn't make a move, or when he did, it was a sure kill.

He had some insight and knew that Lin Chuan must have secretly used a control-type skill.

Otherwise, what kind of beast tamer's beast would really act like it was sick, ramming its head into a rock?

Moreover, Du Yong had come to realize that Lin Chuan's absurd actions these past few days, and his refusal of the offensive and defensive training he had arranged... everything was meant to numb his opponents, especially Yan Hao and the others.

Because he knew that Lin Chuan's goal was also first place.

Such Heart-Nature, such forbearance, such strategy... Du Yong felt a wave of lingering fear. Fortunately, he hadn't offended him.

Then, another wave of ecstasy: with Lin Chuan and Yan Hao, would Beast Taming Third Middle School rise this year? He would invite the principal to observe the afternoon's competition. Maybe, if the principal was happy, he would get a raise, hehe...

Fortunately, Lin Chuan didn't know that Du Yong had such complex evaluations of him; otherwise, he could only say, 'Teacher, you're overthinking it.'

Especially that ridiculous training, hanging a sandbag and having Old Hei hit it with his head?

Wasn't that just pure madness?

"Achoo!"

Xu Dazhi suddenly sneezed. "Got a cold, that shouldn't be right?"

...In the morning, everyone had gone through one round of competition, and 12 people advanced to the next round.

To Lin Chuan's surprise, the little fatty also made it to the second round.

Mainly, his Ironclad Beast had a lock-on skill; unless the opponent could fly, it was at least a one-for-one trade.

And his opponent was rather unlucky, a leopard-type beast, whose fast running speed was useless.

Because he didn't want his beast to get injured, the opponent directly recalled his beast and conceded.

On Yan Hao's side, all three people except Zhou Ming advanced.

Especially Yan Ritian, who didn't even need to go on stage; when the teacher announced the battle numbers, his opponent directly surrendered and conceded.

That allowed him to show off big time again.

Lin Chuan expressed his displeasure, he must also have such a presence!!!

...In the cafeteria, Lin Chuan looked at the dozen or so dishes on the table, feeling a bit speechless.

Seeing Xu Dazhi about to get more, Lin Chuan quickly stopped him.

"That's enough, that's enough. These are enough for the two of us to eat. And, you damn well get some green vegetables; all meat is too greasy."

"Oh, okay."

After saying that, Xu Dazhi scurried off to the vegetarian food window and got a few plates of vegetarian dishes.

"Brother Lin, the vegetarian dishes are free, you know! I wanted to pay, but the auntie wouldn't take my money."

Xu Dazhi said as he sat opposite Lin Chuan, picking up a pig's trottoir to gnaw on.

Lin Chuan finally understood that although this guy ate in the cafeteria, it was no different from eating out at a restaurant.

The cafeteria offered free vegetarian dishes and a small selection of meat dishes, ensuring a balanced diet.

But if you wanted to eat well, you still had to spend money.

This little fatty, from the beginning of school until now, had never been to the vegetarian section!

Originally, Lin Chuan just wanted to eat a few bites casually, but this guy insisted on dragging him along. Lin Chuan couldn't refuse him, so he had to let him treat him to a meal.

"You're being overly solicitous; do you have something you want?"

"No, I don't."

"Really not?"

"Isn't this an early celebration for Brother Lin winning first place, hehe... And, it's just..."

"Just what?" Lin Chuan knew this kid must be holding something back.

"It's just, what did your beast eat to grow so big? I also want my beast to get bigger."

"..."

Lin Chuan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He thought the other party wanted to inquire about his secret to being so powerful, but he didn't expect it to be just this?

Unfortunately, this was something he really couldn't teach.

"Your family runs a butcher shop; you're asking me what to eat to gain weight? Just look at yourself, you'll know..."

Lin Chuan waved his hand, indicating he was powerless. Then he continued:

"My beast growing bigger is a skill; she shrinks back after using it."

"Is that so?" The little fatty looked disappointed. "Sigh, how can I get fat?"

"..."

"Then, by the way, let me ask, Brother Lin, why are you so fierce? I have a premonition that you can definitely smash that Yan Hao."

"The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology, what do you think?"

"I think you rely on being a pervert!"

"Damn it..."

Lin Chuan laughed and cursed, then began to eat.

"Brother Lin, seriously, I feel like you're getting stronger every day. Is there any secret you can teach me? Of course, if it's inconvenient, then forget it."

Xu Dazhi couldn't see Lin Chuan's star Rank and attributes, only a vague feeling and the aura Lin Chuan displayed.

His feeling was not wrong; besides the beast's Rank improvement feeding back into the master's Physique attributes, the improvements brought by learning skills and skill upgrades would certainly also feed back a portion to Lin Chuan.

Simply put, Lin Chuan's current physical quality, solely in terms of resistance to blows, was also very tough!

"This, let's talk about it after the exam. By then, maybe I'll also have something I need your help with."

"No problem, Brother Lin. Just say the word; I, Xu Dazhi, will not hesitate."

The little fatty patted his chest and promised.

"Alright, let's eat first."

...In the afternoon, the exam changed venues, moving to the school's largest battle arena, where the stage was a full 100 by 100 meters.

Such an arrangement naturally attracted many students from other classes to come and watch.

"This venue hasn't been used in a long time, what's going on today?" Many students wondered.

"Could it be teachers PKing?"

"Possibly."

..."Teacher Du, it's just a monthly exam, is it necessary to go to such great lengths?"

In the stands, Lan Lan asked Du Yong beside her, her face full of doubt.

"Principal, it's absolutely necessary; you'll know when the time comes." Du Yong kept her in suspense.

At this moment, Lan Lan noticed Lin Chuan below.

"He's already six-star, not bad," Lan Lan whispered.

"Is the principal talking about Lin Chuan?" Du Yong asked.

"Mm."

"Principal, what is Lin Chuan's talent? It's a bit special." Du Yong took the opportunity to inquire.

"B-Rank talent, Accelerated Growth. His Awakening time wasn't long, so his Rank advancement speed will be faster; you don't need to be too surprised."

Lan Lan explained calmly.

"Is that so?" Du Yong muttered softly.

He didn't want to be surprised either; it was just that Lin Chuan's performances were more explosive each time!

"By the way, how did he perform? A defensive beast shouldn't have much room to play, right?"

Lan Lan guessed, estimating that Lin Chuan should have already been eliminated.

"This, he also entered the next round; the principal can see for herself then."

Du Yong didn't know what to say; it was better to let the principal see for herself.

"Even a defensive type can advance? This generation is truly worse than the last, sigh..."

Lan Lan frowned tightly, looking down, and said no more...

"Now, let's begin the second round of competitions..."

"First match, number 24 versus number 27."

Coincidentally, number 27 was Xu Dazhi.

There was nothing to be done; it was all random matching.

"Brother Lin..."

The little fatty's face fell.

Sending him to fight Lin Chuan, wasn't that just asking for abuse?

The surrounding classmates couldn't help but let out schadenfreude laughter.

"Go, little fatty, go for a one-for-one with Lin Chuan..."

"One life for one hair... Haha."

"Where's the hair..."
