After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Along with the red text, there was also a more detailed description of the ritual methods.

It included what kind of precious materials were needed, how to conduct the ritual at a specific time, and all the details were clearly explained in the text.

Chen Xing noted them down—six types of materials were required in total.

Thunder Fire Demon Vine, Soul Fire Stone, Shadow Root, Nine Nether Dark Jade, Judgment Thunder Seed, and Dawn's First Light.

The ritual had to be conducted at noon, entering the Dark Realm and holding the evolution ceremony within it.

Before the ceremony, the Thunder Fire Demon Vine and the Soul Fire Stone needed to be crushed into powder, which would then fill the holes in the Nine Nether Dark Jade, for the Sìxiàng to hold in its mouth after it had been treated.

When it was noon in the outside world, Dawn's First Light had to be ignited to set the Dark Realm ablaze, with the ceremony's conductor holding a Judgment Thunder Seed and a Shadow Root in his left and right paws, respectively.

To endure the infusion of the Dark Realm's power and successfully pass the ceremony would mean becoming a Dark Realm Judge.

However, the evolution ceremony had extremely high requirements for the evolver themselves; only if the strength of the Beast Taming soul was incredibly powerful, would it meet the criteria for evolution.

The ceremony itself was simple.

But... where was the Dark Realm?

Chen Xing said he had never heard of this place before.

And then there was the special requirement—the soul power had to be incredibly powerful.

It was uncertain what level of soul strength would meet the standard; would ten times the normal soul power be enough?

...

After coming out of the storage room, his phone rang; Director Huang had sent a message.

"The issue you reported last time has been investigated, and there are no major problems. Similar situations have occurred several times over the past few years.

You can continue to work as usual. I heard from Old Qin that you've been going to work every day recently?"

"Yes, Director Huang, I'm planning to participate in the Qinghai competition, so I want to work a few extra days to accrue time off for later," Chen Xing replied.

In his office, Director Huang had a subtle expression on his face; this kid... sure had guts.

Back at his place, Chen Xing activated the skills related to the vegetarian pet meal direction on the Pet Nutritionist Skill Tree.

The Skill Points required to activate these minor skills were now trivial for him.

[Basic Vegetarian Pet Meal Preparation]You have learned how to make nutritious pet meals that allow your pets to grow up healthily and quickly. (2/2) (Activated)

The new skill below continued to activate.

[Crunchy Carrot Dry]You have learned how to make crunchy carrot dry, its delicious taste can make herbivorous Beasts better cooperate with you during interactive mini-games. (8/8) (Activated)

Then came the third row of skills.

[Juicy Spinach Can]A nutritious spinach can, which after consumption, allows pets to recover their spirits remarkably. Of course, cans with a green vegetable flavor might be unfamiliar to some carnivorous animals. (10/10) (Activated)

After activating three skills in a row, the fourth skill finally brought the skill Chen Xing was expecting.

[Fresh Oasis Crunchy Asparagus Cold Dish]A crunchy, delicious cold dish of asparagus, fresh in taste and the pure flavor of nature. Long-term consumption can increase the soul's total volume to ten times the base level. (100/100) (Activated)

At the same time, the fifth skill below also displayed the one Chen Xing had been anticipating.

However... this skill required quite a lot of Skill Points, and he couldn't activate the fifth skill yet.

[Spicy Red Oil Bean Curd]Devilishly spicy bean curd, each consumption is a test of willpower! Long-term consumption can sharpen the force of will, and it's also a challenge for the digestive system. Remember! While food is good, please eat in moderation. (0/500) (Not Activated)

With only forty-one Skill Points remaining, Chen Xing looked at the unactivated skill with a sigh.

Five hundred Skill Points, for him now to accumulate, would take at least close to a month to gather that many.

"Accumulating that will probably take some time."

"However, the Four Phases Ability is still a ways from reaching one hundred, so I'm not in a rush."

"It's worth mentioning that after consuming over a hundred jin of high-grade carnivore pet food last time, Sìxiàng has accumulated a massive amount of nutrients, and its Energy Level has been rising steadily at a very fast pace this week."

"The current Energy Level has reached 74, just 1 Energy Level behind Taotie."

"This has shown Chen Xing a method to quickly increase the Beast Taming Level: consuming large quantities of high-grade carnivore pet food."

"As long as there is plenty of Transcendence flesh, the Beast Taming Level will skyrocket like riding a rocket."

"Unfortunately, the flesh of monsters that have achieved Fleshly Transcendence is too rare. It's a strategic scarce resource with almost no circulation on the market."

"Chen Xing then inquired with his mentor about the Dark Realm, but this time Han Yuning simply shook his head."

"Dark Realm... I've never heard of it. You can go check in the library."

Chen Xing took some time to visit the library.

He got in touch with the person who had given him a business card last time, claiming to be a member of the Bibliophile Society.

He told him he needed information related to the Dark Realm.

"Brother, wait a moment." After a short while, the other side replied to Chen Xing, "There are two books in the library about the Dark Realm, Dark Realm Monster Compendium and the 21st edition of Secrets of the Exotic Realms. If you need them, I can help you find their exact locations right now."

Chen Xing happily transferred ten Academic Credits to the other person.

"I'll be right over." The other person replied.

In less than ten minutes, a dusty young man ran into the library, then climbed up a ladder and pulled out a book from a book wall tens of meters high.

After handing that book over to Chen Xing, he went to the other side of another book wall about ten meters high to fetch another book.

In the vast library, each book's spine was like a brick.

These numerous bricks built up an immense library.

If you're not someone who spends a long time immersed in the library, you'd likely never find these two books.

The Dark Realm Monster Compendium had repeating titles, and it was impossible to tell there was a connection to the Dark Realm from the title of Secrets of the Exotic Worlds alone.

21st edition means there must be at least 21 volumes with the same title; this is just one version of them.

"Enjoy your reading. If you have more tasks for me next time, I promise to rush over as soon as possible." The young man chuckled heh-heh, waved to Chen Xing, and turned to leave.

"Thanks. Oh, by the way, I have a question. With so many books here, and finding them being so troublesome, why not create a computerized catalog of the library?" Chen Xing asked, voicing his inner doubts.

Even if there's no internet, it wouldn't be hard to set up an electronic list in the library with a local area network, right?

"I'm not sure about that. Students have made the suggestion before, but the higher-ups have never adopted it, otherwise, there wouldn't even be a need for the Bibliophile Society." The young man shrugged. "Some people suspect it might be the school's way of collecting more Academic Credits, but I think it's not that simple."

At that point, the young man leaned in closer and whispered, "You know about this year's college entrance exam reform with the Illusion Tower, right?"

Chen Xing participated in this year's entrance exam, so of course, he knew.

Chen Xing nodded.

The young man chuckled, "You might not know, but our school used to have a building similar to the Illusion Tower, though it was called the Heart Inquiry Pavilion! The illusions inside were incredibly realistic, and there were no modern devices at that time; it was built like an inn from ancient times.

But it was closed three years ago, and now that there's an Illusion Tower emerging in the outside world, built within Great Xia, a lot of people in the school are privately saying it might be related to the Path of Legends."

Chen Xing was puzzled, "What does that have to do with the library?"

"No idea." The young man shook his head. "That's why it's just speculation."
