After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

```

Even as the Prime Minister, he couldn't casually browse such secret intelligence; although he had enough authority, he needed the agreement of several colleagues of the same level to view it.

Or, as in the present special situation, he could view some of the information.

That experts like Gu Yuzhi and Dong Fang had Transcendence-level Beast Tamings was within the realm of reason.

But Chen Xing, a Beast Tamer who had only trained for two years, not even two and a half years! He actually also possessed a Transcendence-level Beast Taming.

And before this, there had been no leaks regarding this Beast Taming.

All Prime Minister Zhao could feel was astonishment, nothing but astonishment.

He had privately inquired about His Majesty's opinion.

His Majesty's answer was very simple, "Appreciate talent and make use of it!"

If there's talent, then give it heavy use!

Never mind what opportunities or chances.

As long as one hails from Great Xia and has not shown anti-social personality traits, then boldly employ them!

Moreover, Prime Minister Zhao could tell that His Majesty was in a good mood that day.

With the words from the highest authority, Prime Minister Zhao naturally understood what he had to do next.

The very purpose of establishing the Torch Program was to select talented individuals and to make more seats available at Great Xia's dining table.

Now that the right person had come forth, though the speed was a bit fast...

But since His Majesty didn't mind, why should he care so much?

The more he thought, the faster he aged; he still wanted to live for many more days.

A key secret to his many years of securely holding his position was that he absolutely would not meddle in unnecessary matters.

Moreover, his own youngest son was on good terms with Chen Xing, and previously, there was even a brief period of "teacher-student affection."

Therefore, Prime Minister Zhao was happy to see their success. He clearly understood his second son's thoughts, but he was not suitable for the Torch Program, and his age was not quite appropriate either.

"The third son has indeed found a good friend," Prime Minister Zhao thought to himself, sighing softly.

As long as Chen Xing does not commit grave treachery in the future, such as openly betraying the country, with his growth rate, a giant of Great Xia will have surely risen.

That's right!

Suddenly, Prime Minister Zhao remembered something.

Since Chen Xing had made such great contributions this time, a mere verbal commendation would certainly not suffice.

It had been previously said that, should he perform a great service, his rank would be raised by one level.

If he was promoted again...

Prime Minister Zhao suddenly felt his own position becoming somewhat unstable beneath him.

"Never mind, it's good to have fewer responsibilities," he mused.

The Prime Minister chuckled to himself, after all, it was only a concurrent post at the fourth rank.

Nothing he couldn't bear to part with.

...

After parting with Zhao Guangming, Chen Xing returned to the Jiuzhou University residence with Han Yuning and Dong Fang.

Classes hadn't ended yet, so his sister wasn't at home.

Chen Xing went home, and naturally, Han Yu Ning went back to her own place as well.

Upon parting, Chen Xing said to Han Yu Ning, "Sister Han, apply for the Torch Program when you get a chance."

Han Yu Ning hesitated a bit.

Seizing the moment, Chen Xing pressed on, "I'm already a Black-robed Executive Officer. If I get promoted again, I'll be the Deputy Commandant.

There will be a lot of things to handle at that point, and to be honest, I don't really understand how to deal with official business."

Han Yu Ning furrowed her brows, as what she heard sounded increasingly strange.

In fact, she had also vaguely heard about Chen Xing's battle achievements, and if a promotion was possible, it might indeed be likely for another rank to be added.

But this kid's idea was simply preposterous!

"You want me to be your secretary?!" Han Yu Ning's mouth twitched.

A mentor to become a secretary for a student?

This was utterly absurd!

Chen Xing's eyes were clear, "There is no position of secretary in the Torch Program."

```

"If I become the Commandant in the future, then you, as my mentor, will be the Deputy Commandant. As the Commandant, I'll just need to be in charge of combat, and it's quite normal for you, as the Deputy Commandant, to deal with paperwork, isn't it?"

"You haven't even become the Deputy Commandant yet, and you're already thinking about being the Commandant," Han Yuning said speechlessly, "and what about Zhao Guangming if I become Deputy Commandant?"

Both from noble families and of similar age, Han Yuning had also heard about Zhao Guangming.

The Third Young Master from the Prime Minister's Zhao family.

Even though Zhao Guangming was two grades ahead of her, he was indeed talented.

Back in his days at Jiuzhou University, he was a prominent figure.

Moreover, Zhao Guangming had joined the Torchbearers before her, had been part of the team longer, and had participated in this war in the capacity of a Torchbearer. Chen Xing was someone who didn't handle affairs, or more accurately, fighting was Chen Xing's domain, but all other matters were handled by Zhao Guangming.

Not to mention that the current Deputy Commandant was none other than Zhao Guangming's father. How could she possibly take Zhao Guangming's spot?

Chen Xing smirked slyly, "Who said there's only one Deputy Commandant?"

Han Yuning was taken aback, then she quickly realized what he meant.

"You... "

"If I'm the Commandant, naturally I can decide how many Deputy Commandants there will be beneath me. If need be, we can always vote on it at the time. I'm not an unreasonable person," Chen Xing said generously.

Chen Xing acknowledged that he was a very straightforward person. When one person attains enlightenment, even his pets ascend to heaven; with the ability, it's natural to help those around him.

Han Yuning was certainly not his pet but a senior who had been of great help at the beginning of his growth. Now that he had the power, it was natural for him to ensure that people friendly to him got good positions.

Otherwise, would he let those who were against him rise to high ranks?

Zhao Guangming was also a good person, so it was decided that there would be two Deputy Commandants.

"I'll apply for it later," Han Yuning nodded and didn't counter anymore.

Dong Fang, who heard the exchange between Chen Xing and Han Yuning, didn't have any other thoughts.

Instead, he felt that Brother Chen was very straightforward.

In the military, men are mostly similar; they share the meat when there's plenty, and they fight shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield.

It's normal for someone to promote their comrades after getting ahead, as long as they have the ability to hold that position securely.

Otherwise, it would be harming their comrades.

After all, the higher the position on the battlefield, the greater the power and the heavier the responsibilities one must shoulder.

"Brother Dong, would you like to join us in the Torchbearers?"

"You little rascal, I haven't even tried to recruit you yet, and you're trying to entice me to join you?" Dong Fang laughed and scolded, "What would an old man like me do there, a sprightly young fellow over six hundred?"

"Being young at heart fits the philosophy of the Torchbearers just fine," Chen Xing said without a blush or skipped heartbeat.

"Let's talk about it when you're promoted to Commandant," Dong Fang said, neither agreeing nor declining.

As night fell, Chen Lingya returned to her residence. Looking at the open gate of the courtyard and the Taotie that was comfortably basking in the sun on the lawn, a surge of eager joy flitted across her eyes.

She couldn't help but break into a slight jog but then stopped abruptly and carefully straightened her clothes.

Afterward, with an elegant posture, she strode towards the front door of the first floor, her long, powerful legs carrying her gracefully.

In the living room, Dong Fang and Chen Xing sat in front of the television, each holding a controller. The two characters on the screen were engaged in a fierce battle, one on the left and the other on the right.

Following a KO! from the television,

The versus match ended.

Chen Xing put down his controller and said incredulously, "Brother Dong, how are you so skilled at this?"

Was he, a gamer, actually being thrashed by a six hundred-year-old man?

"Practice makes perfect," Dong Fang said nonchalantly.

Trying to show off, he waited for a moment, but when Chen Xing's praise didn't come, Dong Fang found it boring.

"I may be old, but my mind isn't fossilized. I played this game when it first came out. Do you know what Great Xia's largest export is?"

Chen Xing hesitated, "Mechanical equipment?"

"Wrong! It's the electronic entertainment industry!"

"These things are like opium for the mind; those Exotic Region folks who've never encountered it before are basically hooked on the first try.

Although where I live is a bit remote, new gaming consoles usually make it to us pretty quickly, and the wealthier the people, the less they care about the price," Dong Fang explained.

Chen Xing pondered; this was the first time he had heard about this.

Of course, that was also because he had never been to the inner circles of those great families in the Exotic Region.

So he wasn't familiar with what goes on inside those great families of the Exotic Region.

"When did you get home?"
