After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chen Xing heard Ming Junting's ambitious speech and could not help but sigh inwardly.

But on second thought, it was normal.

In this life, everyone had something they pursued be it money, power, wealth, status, or fame.

"I'll go back and check, and besides, Xinhua has just been established; it might not even have a media channel," Chen Xing replied.

Ming Junting shook his head, "You might not have noticed, but Great Xia's Youth Daily and Longdu's Youth Literary Society, all these official media channels now belong to Xinhua."

Chen Xing was surprised; he indeed hadn't paid attention to these matters.

He didn't expect that Xinhua already had its own channels of expression.

"I can't guarantee it, but if no one inside Xinhua needs the media for publicity right now, we could lend it to you first,"

"Pleased to cooperate," Ming Junting said with his hands clasped together.

...

The next day, after discussions, they split into two groups.

One group stayed behind while the other returned to Great Xia.

After the obliteration of Stone City, Fentian Giant City made no further moves.

It seemed that the matter ended with the public turning Stone City into ashes.

However, after the incident with Stone City, the previously restless major cities within the Fentian Domain visibly calmed down on the surface.

At least openly, there were far fewer voices opposing Fentian Giant City.

A tiger, even in death, left behind its might.

And Fentian Giant City was not dead yet.

The previous ambitions that many ambitious ones harbored after seeing Fentian Giant City stumble, cooled significantly after the annihilation of Stone City.

Despite facing setbacks in front of Great Xia, Fentian Giant City remained an influential force that had dominated for tens of thousands of years.

After timing their schedule, Chen Xing and the others took the Teleportation Array back to Great Xia.

Along the way, personnel managing the Teleportation Arrays in many cities gave these people peculiar looks.

Black hair and black eyes, these were significant characteristics of the people from Great Xia.

Could it be because of Stone City's incident, Great Xia wanted to strike back?

With the intention to watch the fun unfold, since they couldn't afford to offend either side, they remained detached.

The group returned to Great Xia without incident.

Stepping out of the Teleportation Array in Longbei City, Chen Xing was somewhat surprised, "I thought Fentian Giant City would send someone to chase and kill us."

"It seems Fentian Giant City has also grown more cautious," Dong Fang remarked; however, considering the fact that, apart from those three Ascended beings, no other Beast Tamer from Fentian Giant City would dare claim they could easily capture them.

After all, Chi Xing had died at their hands.

"It's rare to see them this quiet; those red-haired devils might be planning something," Dong Fang mused thoughtfully.

"Would you like to visit my school?" Chen Xing invited Dong Fang to his home.

Dong Fang thought for a moment, "Sure, there's nothing much else anyway."

Zhao Guangming whispered to Chen Xing, "We still need to report back about this battle."

"Report to whom? To me?" Chen Xing glanced at him.

The color of Zhao Guangming's face stiffened as he suddenly realized.

Chen Xing was a rank higher than him...

And the only ones higher than Chen Xing were two people: one was the chief Commandant of Xinhua, also the president of Jiuzhou University, but the president was just a figurehead and hardly managed anything.

The other deputy Commandant was his own father, and he was also acting in this role as, after all, a prime minister had far more matters to handle than just Xinhua.

So thinking it through, it really was as Chen Xing had said; did he have to report to him?

Damn!

"Forget it, the battle report has already been sent back; that old man of mine will surely come once he's dealt with his matters,"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

At the prime minister's residence.

A young man knocked and then entered the study.

"Dad."

A figure with a straight-back like a pine paused from writing, placing the brush on the rack after finishing the last character.

"What is it?"

Choosing his words carefully, the young man slowly said, "Dad, you are currently serving as the deputy Commandant of Xinhua, but the position in Xinhua is ultimately not as important as being the prime minister. You will need to resign from this position eventually. It would be a pity to waste the opportunity our Zhao Family has finally gotten. How about letting your son take over in Xinhua?"

The prime minister simply said, "Your brother is in Xinhua."

Mentioning that brother, Zhao Xin felt disdain deep inside, yet he did not show it in front of his father because he knew his father always disliked conflicts among his offspring.

So he said, "My younger brother might not be able to hold down Xinhua. Recently, my Beast Taming has broken through Transcendence Fifth Layers. If I joined Xinhua, I could also take some burden off you."

The prime minister looked at Zhao Xin with a half-smile.

Zhao Xin kept his smile initially, but his expression gradually grew more awkward, eventually lowering his head, unable to meet his father's eyes.

"You are over fifty years old, not fitting the age criteria for Xinhua. I have arranged another place for you," the prime minister said lightly, "Your brother is doing quite well in Xinhua; you needn't worry about it."

After a long silence, Zhao Xin struggled to say, "Yes."

Watching Zhao Xin's retreating figure, the prime minister's eyes flashed with complexity.

The report on the battle at the Lake of Fire had been placed on his desk a few days ago.

Despite being busy with official duties, concerns for his children's safety meant he had received the intelligence right away.

The report shocked him.

Even with his self-control, he was almost thrown off.

If it weren't for multiple pieces of intelligence corroborating the facts, he would have almost thought the subordinates were making things up to deceive him.

Chen Xing had actually assisted Gu Yuzhi and Dong Fang in slaying the high priest Chi Xing of Fentian Temple!

The situation of Gu Yuzhi and Dong Fang was also detailed in the intelligence; before this incident, he only knew about Gu Yuzhi, and he merely had a vague idea that such a person as Dong Fang existed, but whether he was still alive or where he had gone was unclear to him.
