Chapter 200: Chapter 176: Resource Point
According to Chen Xing's judgment, most of Dong Jun's currently awakened skills posed no problems.
For a Beast Taming with a light attribute, there were generally two paths to take.
One was to go full-on as a healing support.
This pathway was the most popular.
Because everyone needed a healer.
The other path was to focus on dealing damage.
In terms of destructive power, light attributes were among the top in various attributes.
Theoretically, one would choose one of these paths and then learn a small portion of skills from the other.
This was the typical growth path chosen by Beast Tamers with a light attribute.
But Dong Jun had awakened the innate skill Primal Light Solution.
This granted Dong Jun many more possibilities.
Innate Skill: Primal Light Solution (Elementary): Unleash all light elements within the body, transforming the body into a saintly light. During saintly light transformation, healing skills cannot be used, all light-based damage skills double in power, healing skills are converted to judgment skills, and physical strength increases substantially.
Light-based damage skills doubled in power, and healing skills converted to judgment skills.
Chen Xing had looked up judgment skills.
Among light attribute skills, judgment skills held a very special place.
When facing enemies with a dark attribute, judgment skills could deal "true damage."
If it was a light-based damage skill, after Primal Light Solution, its power would double.
Therefore, Chen Xing tentatively set the ratio of Dong Jun's skill framework between damage skills and healing skills at 1:2.
It seemed like there were more healing skills, but in reality, once Primal Light Solution was deployed, they would all transform into pure damage skills, while ensuring some would change into judgment skills and others would double in output power.

Lights in the house remained bright late into the night.
It wasn't until 2:30 AM that Chen Xing concluded his busy day.
After midnight, he finished all of the next day's skill training routines before he rested and slept.
While Chen Xing was training the Twin-fiend Dogs, Sìxiàng was not idle either.
It was practicing the Soul Shock skill while training with Thunder Spear at the same time.
Releasing the two skills in alternation did not hinder its training.
Taotie watched Sìxiàng, who was training intently, with eyes full of resentment.
Do you not need to sleep at all in your new home?
Hmph! The master prepared a small pool for me.
It's for me to get good sleep.
Taotie simply closed its eyes and turned over in the small pool with a diameter of over two hundred meters, blissfully falling asleep to rest.
After finishing his tasks, Chen Xing did not ask Dong Jun to continue casting skills for him.
Otherwise, he would have to stay up all night again.
Picking up a book from the living room table,
Chen Xing lay on his bed.
During his leisure time, he opened the book to flip through Sìxiàng's skill panel.
Well, look at that!
The skill proficiency was rising rapidly.
Thunder Spear had only reached +3 a while ago, and now the 8000 proficiency points required for +4 were already gathered!
The previous three enhancements had not encountered any rare enhancement results, proving that not every skill optimization would produce a better outcome.
In the past, Chen Xing had chosen to increase the skill's power all three times.
He wondered if the fourth enhancement could yield something good.
Deducting 8000 proficiency points,
please choose one optimization direction from the following three:
1. Increase in skill power (Ordinary)
2. Reduction in magic power consumption (Ordinary)
3. Tenfold increase in the concentration and throwing speed of Thunder Spear (Rare)
Chen Xing's eyes lit up; finally, something good had come!
He didn't hesitate to choose the third option.
The tenfold increase in the throwing speed of Thunder Spear, which was already fast, what kind of effect might that be?
Nearly striking the opponent the instant it was thrown?
Beast Taming was training its Sìxiàng to form the Thunder Spear outside the window, and this time it managed to complete the task almost instantly, so quickly that Sìxiàng itself was almost caught off guard.
The speed of forming the spear was countless times faster than before.
Serpentine arcs of lightning intertwined in its claws. As Beast Taming moved, these arcs of lightning gradually converged into a five-meter-long spear, its body flashing with leaping thunder, like a Thunder Dragon imprisoned within.
With a sweep of its arm, a purple afterimage flashed through the void.
The residual lightning leapt through the void, casting a purple hue over the silent night.
In the distance,
A hole suddenly appeared in the mountain wall.
A wisp of blue smoke slowly emerged from the hole.
Sìxiàng was startled by this sight.
It looked down at its claws, then at the distant hole.
Sure enough, what master said about hard work paying off was true!
Sìxiàng became excited, its motivation greatly increased.
Continue training!
No sleep tonight!
...
Second floor master bedroom.
The small orange bedside lamp was turned on.
Chen Xing sat leaning against the headboard, holding a booklet in his hand.
"The library is here... It's quite a distance, ten kilometers away from where I live."
"The place I'm currently residing at is a bit remote. Jiuzhou University is truly vast, almost like a city in itself."
"However, most people here have beasts, and riding a beast makes that distance trivial. The houses in this Exotic Region are all quite large—probably because of the large size of the beasts, which is why these houses are all quite tall."
"This is the teaching building, where all the public courses are held."
"To graduate and obtain a certificate, you must complete all ten public courses, but as long as you finish them before graduation, there's not much pressure."
Jiuzhou University doesn't produce illiterates. Even Beast Tamers who take the combat route must complete all ten basic public courses to obtain their graduation certificate.
These ten courses cover all aspects of a Beast Tamer's education, but fortunately, the requirements to complete them are not very high.
Students don't necessarily have to score perfectly; the minimum passing grade is also sufficient to earn a certificate.
Apart from public courses, the mentor's specialized courses are the most important.
Because public courses only teach the basics, to advance further in one's specialization, the mentor's specialized courses are indispensable.
As for the content of the specialized courses, it depends on the specific differences among different mentors.
Generally, mentors choose multiple research groups and assign students to different or multiple research groups beneath them.
One confirmed research topic under tutor Han Yuning is to occupy the Resource Point at Jiu Chi City.
Chen Xing pondered this.
He couldn't help but take out his cellphone and downloaded the school's dedicated app.
After logging in and verifying his identity with face recognition,
A brand new forum appeared before his eyes.

Opening the forum, Chen Xing had initially planned to look up posts related to new students since school was about to start, and there are usually many posts for new students at the beginning of the school year.
Instead, he saw the forum was filled with posts about forming teams or competing for Resource Points.
Startled, Chen Xing did some research and learned some news.
It was now the period for competing over Resource Points?
During the start of August, which is the summer vacation, it's the time when Resource Points are reassigned, and it's the liveliest time at the school.
After the school term begins, you rarely see many people around the school.
Either they are holed up in laboratories or out completing tasks.
All you need is to dominate the Resource Point arena for a week at any time during August without being overthrown, and that signifies complete control over that Resource Point.
However, a beast can only occupy one Resource Point, but can challenge repeatedly.
That means Taotie could also give it a try?
Thinking this, Chen Xing became somewhat eager.
But he quickly curbed his emotions.
With more than a month's time, he could prepare further.
If he was lucky, relying on Taotie, he wasn't without a chance of occupying a Resource Point!
In a vague way, Chen Xing seemed to see a vision of countless little coins flying towards him.
