Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Attributes

2368 year, Shenghai City, summer, Anxing District.

In an old and decrepit house, the fan spins rapidly, making a creaking noise, and although the room has an air conditioner, it's long been neglected and fallen into disrepair, now just for show.

In the room, a black-haired teenager swipes through his phone screen, quickly scanning the hot searches on the internet.

[Spirit Master Wang Yong has reportedly seen a dragon in the Luoxia Mountain of the Spirit Realm and captured valuable video footage!]

[The seventeenth annual Global Spirit Masters Competition quarterfinals have concluded, with Chen Ling, captain of the Huaxia Team, easily crushing the five members of the Egypt Team with his Serpent, successfully advancing the team!]

[The popular vote for Spirit Beasts of the entire network in 2368 has begun, cast a vote for your favorite Spirit Beast now!]

...

Without exception, all related to Spirit Masters or Spiritual Beasts.

"Is this what transmigration is like? Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Chen Mo never thought that he, too, could be chosen to be part of the vast ranks of transmigrators.

It must be getting close to the end of the year; even the mud-truck driver responsible for cross-dimensional transport needs to hit his performance targets.

Before Chen Mo could explore more information about this world, a sharp pain struck his mind, followed quickly by darkness, as a tide of memories surged through his mind.

About 2 hours later, Chen Mo had barely managed to digest the memories of his original self.

The individual he had transmigrated into was also named Chen Mo, with nearly identical height and appearance, not too much to say a parallel world version of himself.

However, unlike his original world, he now found himself in a Spirit World dominated by beast taming.

Over 300 years ago, a massive 'sinkhole' suddenly appeared in Yida Square in Shenghai City of Huaxia, which connected to a world much vaster than the Blue planet, now known as the Spirit Realm.

The natural laws and principles of the Spirit Realm are distinctly different from those of the Blue planet.

In the Spirit Realm, all things can possess spirit.

Animals, plants, elements, undead, machinery...

Even a book, a handful of dirt, a passage of text could potentially develop spiritual intelligence and transform into a Spiritual Beast.

Although the people of the Spirit Realm did not develop technology similar to that of Blue Planet, they did master methods to control Spiritual Beasts, and these people are known as Spirit Masters.

After the two civilizations came into contact, initial intense clashes and conflicts erupted, but in the end, they chose peace and coexistence through mutual integration and exchange.

The humans of the Spirit Realm improved their lives with technology, while the humans of the Blue Planet mastered the methods of controlling Spiritual Beasts and widely promoted them.

Today, it is an era where everyone is a Spirit Master.

"Meditation Techniques," "Wilderness Survival Rules for Spirit Masters," "Spiritual Beast Encyclopedia," "Identification of Spiritual Materials," and other knowledge related to Spirit Masters have been incorporated into elementary and secondary school curricula, all with the aim of cultivating more Spirit Masters.

The original Chen Mo was an ordinary high school student in the Spirit Manipulation Department at Shenghai City's First Middle School.

His greatest aspiration was to become an exceptional Spirit Master.

Unfortunately, becoming a Spirit Master is not easy. Not only must one's spiritual power meet the standards and develop one's own Beast Taming Space, but it also requires a Spiritual Beast and a massive amount of cultivation resources.

Chen Mo's parents disappeared in an exploration of the Spirit Realm twelve years ago, leaving him nothing but an old house and savings over 500,000.

Growing up dependent on his grandmother, and last year, she fell seriously ill and needed to be hospitalized.

The savings of over 500,000 now dwindled to barely less than 50,000, and that is after Chen Mo started doing part-time jobs in his spare time since middle school.

So, just the price of a Spiritual Beat was enough to discourage him, not to mention the subsequent cultivation resources required.

However, the government does have policies for students with exceptional talent but poor family conditions. If one can establish a Beast Taming Space before the age of 18, they can choose a Spirit Beast Egg or a young Spiritual Beast from the local beast breeding facilities as their initial Spiritual Beast.

Moreover, until graduation from college, one can receive a certain amount of cultivation resources every month.

Of course, these must be repaid.

After the trained Spirit Masters grow up, they need to repay the resources they have received in equal measure.

It can be seen as a loan without interest, or rather, an investment.

Previously, the original person had been working hard for the goal of opening his Beast Taming Space before the age of 18.

Unfortunately, his talent for practicing spiritual power was truly average.

Even though he persisted in meditation every day, there was still a gap from the minimum spiritual power required to open the Spiritual Space.

"The start is a bit rough, but it's not a big problem."

Chen Mo murmured to himself. He had a positive attitude and was now filled with curiosity and longing for this Spirit World.

"Now what exactly is this meditation technique? Why not give it a try?"

As soon as he thought of it, Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and in a state of serene concentration, began to meditate according to the methods in his memory.

Soon, he "saw" a swirling nebula that was slowly spinning.

This "star nebula" is spiritual power, an invisible and intangible mystical force that humans could feel only through meditation before the invention of spiritual power detection equipment.

Wait a minute! Something seems off!

The "star nebula" he's "seeing" now is almost twice the size as he remembered!

It seems that accompanying his transmigration, the spiritual powers of the two have combined, and he has now reached the level required to open a Beast Taming Space!

"Is this what being a transmigrator is all about? Now that the spiritual power is up to par, let's see if I can take the bull by the horns and open up the Beast Taming Space."

The memory of the original stated that opening a Beast Taming Space is not difficult as long as one's spiritual power reaches the standard.

Therefore, after carefully recalling the process of opening a Beast Taming Space, Chen Mo quickly began the practice.

If he succeeds, it would mean he has set foot into the domain of a Spirit Master!

In the void, energy shifts at will...

Under Chen Mo's will, the speed of the star nebula's rotation became faster and faster...

And at one moment, the star nebula shattered, bursting forth with dazzling white light, like the dawning of chaos.

"It worked!"

The scene before him was exactly what the original owner of the body had yearned for.

Chen Mo silently sensed the changes within his body; the Star Cluster had disappeared, replaced by a space of about 10 cubic meters.

This is the Spiritual Space.

After establishing a contract with a Spiritual Beast, a Spirit Master can retreat the contracted Spiritual Beast into the Spiritual Space, and the Spirit Master can also view the basic information of the Spiritual Beast through the Spiritual Space.

Moreover, in the Spiritual Space, the growth rate of the Spiritual Beast will slightly increase.

"Wow? I've also awakened a Spirit-Taming Talent?"

Just as Chen Mo was examining the Spiritual Space, he also discovered another surprise.

Humans have a small chance of awakening a Spirit-Taming Talent after opening their Spiritual Space.

There are many types of Spirit-Taming Talents, but they can primarily be divided into three categories——[Functional], [Enhancement], [Special]

The talent that Chen Mo had awakened was called [Beast Speech], a Functional type talent.

Its effect allows him to understand the language of most Spiritual Beasts and communicate with them.

Although this talent does not directly enhance beast-taming combat power, it is still quite sought after.

It would make jobs related to Spiritual Beasts very convenient in the future, such as Spiritual Beast Translator, Spiritual Beast Breeder, and race host.

"Wait a minute! It seems like not just one talent has been awakened!"

Quickly, Chen Mo excitedly discovered that more than one Spirit-Taming Talent had been awakened this time!

Indeed, he is the chosen one.

As a transmigrator, possessing two Spirit-Taming Talents is quite reasonable.

And when Chen Mo finished reviewing the function of the second Spirit-Taming Talent, the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, and the joy in his heart could not be suppressed.

This is absolutely an overpowered talent!

The second Spirit-Taming Talent he had awakened was called [Entry Training Manual], a Special type talent.

When Chen Mo and the contracted Spiritual Beast complete certain challenges, they can unlock corresponding entries.

These entries can be equipped on the Spiritual Beast or himself, thereby gaining an enhancement or reduction in certain abilities.

Chen Mo focused his spiritual power and summoned the illusory Entry Training Manual, flipping open its first page.

He saw illusory light particles slowly condensing into lines of text.

Daily Challenges:

Thick-Skinned (White)

Endure 100 continuous attacks with a strength of no less than 5 points within 10 minutes, completing this will grant you the [Thick-Skinned] entry.

[Thick-Skinned] entry effect: Slightly increase defensive power and resistance to blows.

Agile (White)

Move over a distance of 1000 meters within 1 minute (without the help of any tools), completing this will grant you the [Agile] entry.

[Agile] entry effect: Slightly increase movement speed and reaction.

Amateur Singer in the Spiritual Beast Realm (White)

Sing a song and gain the recognition of at least 5 Spiritual Beasts. (0/5)

[Amateur Singer in the Spiritual Beast Realm] entry effect: Your singing will most likely be liked by certain Spiritual Beasts.

Weekly Challenges:

Slacking Master (Green)

Do not train for more than half an hour per day, sleep no less than 12 hours per day, continue for 7 days.

[Slacking Master] entry effect: Your slacking behavior will be incredibly difficult to detect.

Comedian (Green)

Perform a comedy act that genuinely makes at least 100 people laugh out loud.

[Comedian] entry effect: Charm slightly increased, your every move will cause laughter.

Monthly Challenges:

Drunk Immortal (Blue)

Taste 10 kinds of rare or higher quality liquors within one month.

[Drunk Immortal] entry effect: Combat power will noticeably increase when drunk. The drunker you are, the better the effect.

[Note: Useless entries can be disassembled to gain entry coins, which can be used to purchase items in the entry shop.]

Currently, the Entry Training Manual has three different challenges, namely Daily Challenges, Weekly Challenges, and Monthly Challenges.

Each day you are presented with three Daily Challenges, which may refresh with white or green quality entries, and you can only choose one to attempt.

Weekly Challenges will refresh with green or blue quality entries, and Monthly Challenges will randomly refresh with blue or purple quality entries.

Higher-quality entries will appear only after the talent has been upgraded.

And each type of challenge has one chance to refresh.

"The Daily Challenges—Thick-Skinned and Agile—are both pretty good entries, but I don't have a contracted Spiritual Beast right now, so these challenges are definitely not doable."

As for the challenge of becoming an Amateur Soul Singer in the Spiritual Beast Realm, it's even less likely to happen.

Chen Mo has never doubted his singing abilities, he's a proper Soul Singer.

"Should I refresh directly?"

Knock, knock, knock!

Just as Chen Mo was immersed in the joy of talent awakening, a sudden knocking sound came from outside the door.
