Beast Taming: Sequen Chapter 72 : Considering the Future

Chapter 72: Considering the Future

“Pa.” A crisp switch sound echoed.

The bright light in the bedroom flickered on, illuminating the previously pitch-black room with glaring clarity. It was Inkband, who had received Zhou Ming’s order, that turned on the light for him.

At that mont, Zhou Ming sat on the bed, his face pale with a bluish tinge, lips bloodless, and his entire body appearing utterly drained.

If Wang Yan were to see him now, he would never believe this was Zhou Ming’s condition after ditation. Instead, he might think Zhou Ming had gone all out fighting for his life in so dark alley.

“Cough.”

“I didn’t expect the threshold for this Original ditation thod to be so high.”

After sensing the danger hidden within the White Bone Contemplation ditation thod, Zhou Ming finally understood why the Original ditation thod had been withdrawn from the stage of the Blue Star Alliance.

If the Original ditation thod was still used as the main thod to promote Beast Tars today, then the Beast Taming profession would only remain an exclusive privilege for a small number of people.

Perhaps, during the developntal process of the Blue Star Alliance, there were indeed people who had such thoughts. Yet in the end, due to external factors, they had to abandon them.

After all, if the humans of Blue Star were all gone, such privileges would be nothing more than a bubble.

Zhou Ming didn’t dwell on the matter for long, because in reality, the Basic ditation Technique had already beco the common ditation thod within the Blue Star Alliance.

Even though not everyone could beco a Beast Tar, at least everyone now had a chance to beco one.

“Still, though the White Bone Contemplation is dangerous, its effects are truly extraordinary. Even the quality of my Spiritual Power has been tempered.”

Zhou Ming slightly probed the state of his Spiritual Power and soon discovered that both its quantity and quality had improved.

If his Spiritual Power had reached a level of six before, then after this ditation, it had now reached seven.

Considering that the normal limit of Spiritual Power for an ordinary person was nine, as long as Zhou Ming continued using the White Bone Contemplation ditation thod to raise his Spiritual Power to nine, and then pushed his beasts’ strength to the limit of low-tier Ferocious Beasts, he would et the requirents for advancing to an Official Rank Beast Tar—provided he possessed the advancent ritual and the necessary transition materials.

With such a harvest, Zhou Ming naturally set aside the danger of the White Bone Contemplation ditation thod. If he couldn’t even bear this level of risk, his path as a Beast Tar would not go very far anyway.

After consuming a low-tier Nutrient Potion, Zhou Ming slowly recovered his vitality.

His previously pale face began to regain color, and his bent back straightened once again, no longer looking like he could be blown over by a re gust of wind.

Feeling the sticky sweat on his skin, Zhou Ming stood up, preparing to take a bath.

Inside the bathroom, the steaming hot water had already been drawn. Zhou Ming lay in the bathtub, wiping his body with the hot water while also contemplating the direction of his future.

With the White Bone Contemplation ditation thod in hand, Zhou Ming no longer had to worry about the difficulty of improving his Spiritual Power.

Given its remarkable effects, he was confident that before exhausting his current batch of resources, he could push his Spiritual Power even further.

Even if he couldn’t reach the absolute limit, he would at least co very close to it.

However, Zhou Ming still faced two major difficulties at present: the strength of his beasts, and the problem of class advancent.

Relying on the spiritual item Serpent Saliva Fruit, both Inkband and Vermilion Jade had broken through their species limits and advanced to low-tier Ferocious Beasts.

But their current strength was still only at the lower-middle level among low-tier Ferocious Beasts. To push their power to the limit of low-tier Ferocious Beasts would still require significant effort from him.

Though the process would be difficult, it was a problem that could still be solved through sheer investnt of resources—by forcefully raising their strength.

Moreover, once his Spiritual Power reached its limit, he could use it to feed back into his beasts, helping Inkband and Vermilion Jade rapidly increase their strength.

The reason he wasn’t using that thod now was mainly because it would affect the improvent of his own Spiritual Power.

In the cultivation system of Beast Tars, there were generally two main paths to increase strength.

The first was for the Beast Tar to prioritize enhancing their own Spiritual Power, and after it reached the peak of their current level, they would then focus on nurturing their beasts.

The second was to primarily strengthen their beasts first.

Once the beasts reached their own limits and could no longer advance, they would then, in turn, use their power to feed back into the Beast Tar.

Usually, the choice between these two depended on personal circumstances.

Of course, if a Beast Tar possessed exceptional talent and had ample resources, both could be pursued simultaneously without issue.

Due to Inkband and Vermilion Jade’s circumstances, Zhou Ming was currently focusing most of his resources on himself, occasionally cultivating his beasts to help them grow steadily.

Although the strengthening of his beasts was difficult, at least it had a clear direction for effort. The true obstacle lay in the class advancent ritual—sothing he could not avoid.

Because human Spiritual Power on Blue Star had a natural limit, and since Beast Tars mainly commanded beasts, in essence, their combat capability was not much different from using firearms.

Even if their beasts could destroy mountains or devastate battlefields, a single close-range ambush by an intelligent Ferocious Beast or a foreign race could still end a Beast Tar’s life instantly.

Hence, to overco this weakness, the Class Advancent Ritual was developed—each stage a gradual transformation from ordinary human into sothing akin to gods and demons.

Throughout the history of the Blue Star Alliance, countless advancent rituals had been researched, yet in the end, only four major advancent paths beca the mainstream choices among most Beast Tars.

They were: Phantasmal Tar, Beast Knight, Shepherd, and Beast Spirit Sorcerer.

The origin of the Phantasmal Tar traced back to the Alliance’s early scientific efforts—attempts to study the genes of Ferocious Beasts and create biological weapons to combat beasts and alien species from other realms.

Though those attempts failed, once the Beast Tar profession erged, the results of that research found new use.

By integrating the extraordinary knowledge obtained from foreign races with the biological weapon project, the Phantasmal Tar advancent system was born.

When an Apprentice Beast Tar broke through to the Official Rank, they could use extraordinary materials and a ritual to evolve their beasts into Phantasmal Beasts.

Phantasmal Beasts were beings half-biological and half-energy, capable of manipulating elental energy particles.

Their Beast Tars could also, through resonance, gain access to such elental power—though weaker than their beasts, it still allowed them to personally touch upon supernatural strength.

At the Apprentice Beast Tar level, one relied on the power of elents to break through the limits of Spiritual Power, enabling continued advancent.

At the sa ti, the Phantasmal Beast could transform into armor, granting its tar not only formidable close-combat ability but also mastery over elental energy.

It could be said that upon becoming a Phantasmal Tar, a qualitative transformation occurred between an Apprentice Beast Tar and an Official Rank Beast Tar.

The most evident difference was that the Beast Tar’s own weaknesses ceased to exist—they could walk unhard through a storm of bullets.

Beyond the Official Rank, the Phantasmal Tar could further advance to beco a Weapon Master.

Their Phantasmal Beast would evolve into a pure elental lifeform, and the Beast Tar’s strength would surge dramatically—able to transform their beast into an elental weapon that directly guided the world’s elental forces in battle.

The final stage was the Legendary Saint, sothing Zhou Ming had learned about earlier from the Detailed Explanation of Beast Tar Career Advancent he purchased in the Black Market.

The ultimate form of the Phantasmal Tar profession was the Elental Annihilator.

It was said that one must cultivate a second Phantasmal Beast with an elent completely opposite to the first, and through the collision of elents, grasp the power of annihilation.

However, the complete Phantasmal Tar Advancent Ritual was only possessed by the Blue Star Academy, whose dean was one of the few Legendary Saints in the entire Alliance.

To enter this academy, one had to reach the Official Rank before the age of thirty in order to even qualify for application.
