China, Los Angeles.

The sun blazed high in the sky. Although it was only early May, the stifling heat swept through the entire city, as if announcing "its" arrival to everyone.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside Luocheng No. 1 Middle School is buzzing with excitement. Many parents are gathered near the gymnasium with their children.

Only soldiers in military uniforms could be seen sealing off the sports hall. Several middle-aged men who looked like teachers were escorting students into the main entrance of the sports hall.

In the center of the gymnasium, students lined up and walked one by one to a platform painted with a six-pointed star.

The stage wasn't large, about five meters by five meters. A girl with her hair tied up in a high ponytail stood on it, looking very nervous.

A man in black custom-made battle armor stood beside the control panel at the edge of the stage. Seeing the girl stand in the middle of the stage, he spoke up to remind her.

"Don't tense up, don't resist, just feel the call of "it"."

The girl nodded, and the military man pressed the red button on the control panel. The six-pointed star suddenly emitted a soft white light. As the light grew stronger, the girl's figure gradually disappeared until she was no longer visible.

About a minute later, the white light dissipated, and a surprised girl had a cute little squirrel standing on her shoulders.

The teacher on the side saw this and hurried over with an instrument. After a check, he announced.

"Wang Xiaqian, Beast Form Contract Spirit. Talent: E-Rank."

With her eyes now shaped like hearts, Wang Xiaocen transferred the little hamster from her shoulder to her arms, bouncing and hopping as she carried her "contract spirit" off the stage.

Liu Li, Elemental Form Contract Spirit. Talent rank: C class.

"Lan Yun Sheng, beast-form contract spirit, talent grade C."

"Wang Teng.."

Ye Ye stood in line among the crowd, his heart pounding. He desperately hoped to win! He needed to win!

At this moment, a student walked onto the stage. After the military man pressed the button, the six-pointed star remained unresponsive. Instantly, the student's face turned pale, and with a cry of "Wow!", he burst into tears.

Students around him buzzed with chatter, some expressing sympathy while others jeered.

After the soldier ignored the student's request to test again, it was Ye Ye's turn next.

Ye Ye looked at the scene on stage, and his consciousness was in a trance for a moment.

He wasn't a person from this world, he had already crossed over to this world for a year. After crossing over, Ye Ye discovered that this world was completely different from his previous life.

First, this world possesses a space called the Lingxu. Within it reside all sorts of spirit beasts.

It is disheartening that they are not friendly to humans, and even display extreme aggression.

While humans face ferocious spirit beasts, besides saturating firepower cleansing, there is another way to deal with them: Beast Tamers!

At the age of sixteen, everyone can awaken their Beastmaster talent through a national awakening ceremony held in high schools by the official government. At that time, through a six-pointed star device developed by the state, those with talents will be forcibly made to sense the extradimensional space.

If you succeed, congratulations, you are now a Beast Tamer.

And if there is no awakening during the awakening ceremony, the probability of spontaneous awakening afterwards will be almost zero.

A Beast Master is not only able to fight using various contracted spirits with abilities against the spirit beasts within the Spirit Ruins, but they can also absorb beast taming energy to strengthen their physique and prolong their lifespan. This has made the social status of a Beast Master extremely high.

To become a Beastmaster, once hailed as humanity's second reincarnation!

"Ye Ye."

"Here we go!"

The military man's lips twitched slightly after reciting the name, but his good mental fortitude kept his expression unchanged.

Ye Ye walked out of the team and onto the stage.

Standing in the center of the hexagram, Ye Ye nodded nervously to the soldier beside him. The next moment, the soldier pressed a button.

But...no reaction....

One minute later.

Ye Ye Mian walked off the stage expressionlessly. Although his face was calm, his heart had sunk to the bottom of a valley.

In China, the awakening rate has just barely passed half. The awakening probability is not high.

But Ye Ye was still a little disappointed. After all, under the influence of this year, he had already become curious about this strange and colorful world.

...and becoming a Beast Tamer has long been Ye Ye's goal.

"Not awake?"

"Don't you see, no reaction."

"No worries, maybe you're gifted and awakening on your own?"

Just arrived, Ye Ye's best friend Lan Yunsheng looked at Ye Ye with a nonchalant expression and came to comfort him.

"Tsk, you're really delusional. A few dishes of food, drunk to this state and think you've become self-aware?"

A sarcastic voice came from behind the two, a young man in the blue and white uniform of Los Angeles No. 1 Middle School spoke up, with a pot-lid sized turtle lying beneath his feet. It was Li Yuan, the class monitor of Ye Ye's class.

"Well, my contract spirit, talent is only about C-rank."

Li Yuan looked at Ye Ye with a smug expression.

Lan Yun couldn't bear it any longer, her face turning cold as she looked at Li Yuan.

"Isn't the contract supposed to make you happy?"

"You! Hmph, I just think it's a pity that our top student at Ye University hasn't awakened his talent. Our students who have awakened their talents will be going to the Beast Taming Class tomorrow. But don't be discouraged, Ye Ye. Study hard in your cultural classes, getting into college is still no problem, right?"

"Hello, Principal Zhang!"

Seeing Ye Ye suddenly look at the back behind him, Li Yuan hurriedly turned around and prepared to greet the principal.

The next moment, Ye Ye suddenly sprang up, accelerating with a burst of speed, and kicked Li Yuan's buttocks with his foot.

Li Yuan had just awakened his talent and hadn't started absorbing the beastly power, his physical fitness wasn't even as good as Ye Ye who exercised regularly. He fell flat on his face right away.

And Ye Yè and Lan Yun sheng looked at each other with understanding.

Run!

After exiting the gymnasium, Lan Yunsheng panted, hands on his waist. Ye Ye was in a similar state, gasping for breath.

"Tomorrow we'll be divided into classes, why don't you try a Beast-Taming Potion too?"

"Even you, Fatty, believe that drinking that stuff can make you awaken on your own? The official has debunked it. Besides, ordinary people drinking that stuff is just a waste of money, $10,000 a bottle!"

A look of seriousness appeared on Lan Yun Sheng's chubby face, and he took out a large ampoule from his pocket.

"My dad gave this to me. I was thinking if I didn't wake up, I'd try this. Now I don't need it, you can have it."

Ye Ye wasn't being polite either. Lan Yunsheng came from a wealthy family, so he wouldn't mind this potion...

Looking at the words "Special Beast Tamer Potion" written on the bottle... Ye Ye fell into thought.

Just now he said that kind was a beginner's beast taming power elixir, 10,000 yuan per bottle, and the effect of the special grade beast taming power elixir is one hundred times that of the beginner level, ordinary people can't buy it at all.

This tiny bottle could be worth millions!

As an ordinary person, taking such strong medication, is it really okay?

Looking at Ye Ye's pained expression, Lan Yunsheng scratched his head and said sheepishly.

"My dad said... since you're going to do drugs, might as well do the strongest ones. Although the top-tier potion has a pretty powerful effect, it shouldn't be lethal..."

"Just keep doing it until you die?"

Ye Ye rolled his eyes, but still carefully put the potion into his pocket.

Farewell to Blue Cloud Rising, he still had to attend the Beast Taming Class's division, and all this had nothing to do with Ye Ye anymore.

Ye Ye walked out of school and skillfully scanned a shared bicycle to ride home.

Tian Du District is not too far from the school, and it's also close to major middle schools, high schools, and shopping malls. It's a genuine school district property.

Back home, Ye Ye found his parents hadn't finished work yet. He walked into his room, locked the door, took out the potion Lan Yun Sheng had given him and sat on the edge of his bed, lost in thought.

Although the official has repeatedly said not to attempt awakening with Beastmaster potions, the reality is that countless students who failed in the awakening ceremony, driven by despair, took a gamble, but there were no successful cases.

Even ordinary people who drink the potions specifically made for beast masters, may experience different side effects.

Ye Ye even suspects that the news about this stuff being able to awaken people might be a rumor spread by the pharmaceutical companies.

But, when there truly is no awakening talent...

This world is never short of gamblers!

Ye Ye was still hesitating, but a sudden voice in his mind made him startle.

"Ding! A mission is deployed. You're wavering on whether to drink the potion. What should you do?"

The sound in his head caused Ye Ye's brain to short-circuit.

After agonizing for half the day, you decided to give up and go with Option One: You graduated from a normal university and went into business. Reward: Starting capital of one million Blue Stars.

Option Two: Drink the potion and be tormented by the ferocious beastly power until you're worse than dead. Reward: A Swarovski crystal-encrusted gold luxury urn *1.

Option Three: Administer the potion for the system to absorb. After recovering a certain amount of energy, the system will help the host unlock the Beastmaster talent. Reward: Powerful humanoid contract spirit * 1.
