Beast Tamer: Awakening a Mythical Talent at the Beginning

Chapter 4 Beast-Taming Talent Mutates, Unexpected Opportunity

Boom.

As Bai Zian began absorbing the awakening energy to construct his Beast-Taming space, the awakening energy surging into his body suddenly became turbulent.

The astonishing energy roared through Bai Zian’s limbs and bones like a wild, untamed horse.

The awakening energy was out of control.

Bai Zian was puzzled, not understanding why such an abnormality had occurred. Most concerning was that this uncontrolled awakening energy, after coursing through his limbs and bones, began rushing toward his brain.

Seeing this, Bai Zian’s expression changed dramatically.

The brain is one of the most vital organs. If Bai Zian’s brain were harmed by the awakening energy, he might become a fool.

That would be truly dangerous.

Bai Zian immediately decided to withdraw from the awakening state.

Even if it meant interrupting the awakening ceremony, he could not allow the energy to remain uncontrolled. Constructing the Beast-Taming space was important, but it was far less important than his own safety.

However, just then, a sudden intuition arose in Bai Zian’s mind.

[Perhaps, this isn’t a bad thing, but rather a great opportunity.]

This intuition came out of nowhere, without any reason, but it made Bai Zian calm down.

Because this was a special premonition brought to him by his talent, [Intuition].

His intuition told him that this was a great opportunity, not a crisis.

With this thought, Bai Zian calmed down and stopped resisting the awakening energy’s intrusion into his brain, allowing the energy to remodel him freely.

In an instant, unimaginable awakening energy surged madly into Bai Zian’s brain. Meanwhile, under the influence of this energy, Bai Zian’s awakened talent seemed to begin changing.

“My talent is undergoing a special transformation? It’s a mutation—my Beast-Taming talent is mutating?” Bai Zian had a flash of insight, as if realizing something.

In the world of Beast-Taming, there were times when certain spirit beasts undergo mutations, acquiring special abilities or constitutions. As a form of life, humans naturally also possess the potential for mutation.

Because human abilities are linked to their Beast-Taming talents, a human mutation generally manifests as a mutation in their Beast-Taming talent.

Bai Zian’s current situation was precisely a mutation of his Beast-Taming talent.

Stimulated by the awakening energy, Bai Zian’s already awakened Beast-Taming talent underwent a unique transformation.

This left Bai Zian quite astonished.

However, it didn’t seem like a bad thing for him.

With this realization, Bai Zian fully relaxed and started absorbing the awakening energy frantically.

Meanwhile, the outside world was in an uproar.

Due to Bai Zian’s intense absorption of the awakening energy, a vortex of energy formed around him. Above Bai Zian’s position, a phantom of special purple eye slowly emerged.

An awakening anomaly.

This was a very unique phenomenon, something that could only occur when one’s innate talent reached at least S-level, or even higher.

What did this indicate? It indicated that Bai Zian’s mutated Beast-Taming talent had already surpassed the A-level, reaching at least S-level.

However, ordinary people had never witnessed an S-level or higher talent anomaly. Hence, this shocking anomaly immediately drew the attention of the examiners in the testing grounds.

Yet, because of Bai Zian’s special background, the examiners dared not interfere. After all, Bai Zian was the grandson of Bai Jingchong, the Lord of Bai Lin City. If anything happened to Bai Zian, the examiner could not afford the consequences.

Thus, the examiner reported the situation to their superiors.

In no time, two elderly men with imposing auras hurried to the scene.

The man on the left was Bai Zian’s grandfather, Bai Jingchong, while the white-haired elder on the right was Wu Xinghan, the chief examiner of the testing grounds.

“What happened? Why did you say Xiao An had a problem?” Bai Jingchong asked anxiously as he swiftly approached the examiner.

Knowing that something had happened to Bai Zian, Bai Jingchong couldn’t stay calm and rushed directly to his grandson’s location.

Not daring to hide anything, the examiner quickly described Bai Zian’s unusual condition.

“An awakening anomaly? How is this possible? Xiao An had already awakened his Beast-Taming talent.”

“Could it be that Xiao An’s [Intuition] talent has mutated, reaching the S-level? That would be excellent news.” Bai Jingchong pondered, his eyes gleaming with understanding.

Bai Jingchong had a special background, formidable strength, and far surpassed the knowledge of an ordinary Beast Tamer. So, when he saw Bai Zian’s condition, he formed a hypothesis.

Bai Zian’s Beast-Taming talent has mutated.

Bai Jingchong was ecstatic at this realization.

It was an extremely rare opportunity. In his memory, throughout the entire history of human Beast-Taming, the number of Beast Tamers whose talents mutated could be counted on two hands. Every one of those tamers became legendary figures.

How could Bai Jingchong not be thrilled?

However, for some reason, when Bai Jingchong saw the purple eye anomaly formed by Bai Zian, he felt an involuntary sense of awe.

It was as if this purple eye belonged to a supreme being, indifferent to all things, a majestic presence that made him feel a sense of danger.

This made Bai Jingchong worried, and he wanted to enter the awakening hall to be by Bai Zian’s side, to ensure his safety and peace of mind.

“Old Wu, let me into the awakening hall,” Bai Jingchong requested, looking at the elderly man beside him.

“Old Bai, don’t make things difficult for me. You should know that as the Lord of Bai Lin City, you cannot enter the awakening hall,” Wu Xinghan replied helplessly.

The awakening hall was directly under the jurisdiction of the Jiuzhou Federation and not the responsibility of the City Lord. Thus, the Jiuzhou Federation directly assigned a chief examiner to oversee each awakening hall, responsible for the talent awakening and registration.

Even the City Lord did not have the authority to interfere. This was a rule set by the Jiuzhou Federation to prevent cheating in the exams.

Due to this, hearing Bai Jingchong’s desire to enter the awakening hall, Wu Xinghan, who was an old friend of Bai Jingchong’s and the hall’s chief examiner, felt quite troubled.

For a moment, the two were at a deadlock.

“Don’t worry, Old Bai, your grandson will be fine. Haven’t you already guessed what might be happening with Bai Zian?”

“This is undoubtedly a great thing for him. If you rashly go in, you might disturb him.”

“Rest assured, I won’t let anything happen to your grandson,” Wu Xinghan reassured, finally calming Bai Jingchong down after much persuasion.

However, Bai Jingchong did not leave. Instead, he stayed outside the testing grounds, watching over Bai Zian from afar.
