After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

As the view extended, a vast island slowly revealed itself from the edge of the horizon.

The contours of the island clarified against the skyline, stretching out toward both sides,

The sky was a clean and clear blue,

without a single cloud,

The sun hung high in the sky, casting a fierce light upon every inch of the island, where the snow-white sands met the sparkling sea in perfect harmony.

This was the only island in the central area of the Pacific, Sunlight Island.

Near the island, some white-sailed boats drifted.

And some Water Element Beasts bobbed up and down on the surface of the water.

These Water Element Beasts were generally not small, especially those that could make it here.

Not far off, a powerful undercurrent surged beneath the water's surface.

A large, black, slender figure approached steadily.

Qiu Shangqing caught a glimpse of the approaching figure underwater but made no other sign.

Two seconds later, the water's surface erupted.

The giant black figure broke through the waves, creating a huge splash.

The Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile let out a low moan from deep in its throat.

The splashes in the void crumbled and turned into countless tiny droplets, which formed a thick mist in the direct sunlight.

Under the scorching sun, a rainbow reflected in the sky.

"A hundred years old and still so childish," Qiu Shangqing said helplessly, looking at the man riding atop the behemoth sea serpent emerging from the water.

The fierce hundred-meter sea serpent soared skywards.

The gust of wind it caused blew the man's slender fringe upward, revealing a shiny forehead in the sunlight.

The upper body of the sea serpent remained stable, suspended above the surface of the sea,

the wind stopped, calmed, and the man's fringe fell back down.

Suddenly, the man looked a decade younger. Find more adventures on m-v|l_e'm,pyr

With golden sideburns, he was a blue-eyed man in his forties, wearing a tight vest that showcased his muscular build, and he spoke with a booming voice.

"Qiu, you beat me at the last Sea King competition, but this time I'll definitely win it back," he said.

"Well then, good luck," Qiu Shangqing nodded.

The man seemed a bit peeved by Qiu Shangqing's attitude but didn't pay it too much mind.

Then, he turned his gaze to Chen Xing, standing behind Qiu Shangqing, and a curious expression appeared on his face. "So you're Chen? I've heard of you, the prodigy of Great Xia."

Chen Xing hadn't expected to be suddenly mentioned. He lifted his head to look at the man, focusing mainly on the beast under him that breached an Energy Level of one hundred.

"Thank you for the compliment, senior," Chen Xing replied modestly.

The man continued, "But my great-grandson has also signed up for this Qinghai competition, and I look forward to the battle between you two."

After speaking, the sea serpent dove back into the ocean with the man, who seemed to be having a great time.

"His name is Kane. He's a Beast Tamer from the Polaris Federation. However, his great-grandson is indeed a strong rival for you in this competition; he's said to be a favorite for the championship.

His great-grandson, named Caesar, is a famous Beast Taming prodigy from the Polaris Federation. He attended university at seventeen, about half a year older than you. According to information from three months ago, his strongest beast had already broken through to an Energy Level of seventy-one.

In three months' time, it should have already exceeded level seventy-five," he added.

Level seventy-five... that's about the same as Taotie, who is now at Energy Level 76.

If that's considered a strong opponent, then... wouldn't the difficulty of winning the Qinghai competition be not as great as I imagined?

The Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile arrived near the island, where the official staff warmly welcomed them.

Finally, Chen Xing and the others were arranged to stay in a private mansion with a swimming pool on the island.

Chen Xing checked out some of the previous Qinghai competitions online.

The usual competition venues were outside the island.

Indeed, the vast ocean was the best arena.

Especially for Water Element Beasts.

...

In the courtyard, a few of them chatted leisurely.

"The Sea King competition is in August, but right now it's the Qinghai competition. This time, twenty-seven countries have signed up, totaling three hundred eighty-five participants," Chu Nan explained.

"That few?" Chen Xing was surprised.

Such a large-scale competition had only so few participants.

"It's normal because although the Qinghai competition is a lower-level event, the entry standards are also high. Many people don't meet the criteria, and some countries have only a few participants each. The most participants still come from the Polaris Federation, the Eagle Federation, and our Great Xia," Chu Nan said.

Nowadays, the world was a tripartite balance of power, and a triangle was the most stable shape.

After explaining, Chu Nan invited Chen Xing, "Hey junior, want to go for a stroll with me later?"

"Where to?"

"The island's free trade market, where trades are mostly barter or done through negotiations," Chu Nan explained. "Every year during July and August, Sunlight Island is at its liveliest, and ordinary people don't even have the privilege to set foot here. Even tourists who want to enter must meet a minimum requirement—at least owning one Water Element Beast."

It was Chen Xing's first time hearing about such an unusual requirement.

"So every year during July and August, Sunlight Island is also known as the paradise for Water Element Beast Tamers. The free trade market then is very bustling, and many water-type materials are traded," Chu Nan added.

"And there are many experts on the island, so there's no need to worry about safety concerns, at least not on the island," he assured.

After considering it, Chen Xing said, "Let's go, let's take a look."

"Haha, I knew you'd be interested," Chu Nan laughed as he invited Chen Xing out for a walk.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Qingqing couldn't wait to say, "I want to go too!"

They were here to have fun after all; staying in the house wasn't interesting.

"I won't go," Qiu Shangqing waved his hand, "Let Xiao Bai accompany you."
