Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

When Ice Orchid saw Gu Ming, she immediately remembered his previous request and came forward to greet him. "Gu Ming, you’ve come at the perfect time."

"My master has successfully refined the Dreamless Water Bud you left here last time into an Elixir. Come and take a look."

It was only then that Gu Ming remembered he had indeed left the Dreamless Water Bud and other main ingredients here earlier, asking the professor from the Dan Temple to help refine them.

He nodded and replied, "Thank you, Professor, and Ice Orchid, for all your trouble."

The few old professors standing by perked up their ears in curiosity upon hearing this, and they all began asking what was so special about this "Dreamless Pill".

Gu Ming gave a simple explanation:

"It’s a special medicinal ingredient gathered from deep within the Yichuan Ruins. Its main function is to attract Dream Memory Essence."

"It’s not quite like the Spiritual Attribute Spirit Medicines I found near the Terror Executioner’s lair, which were filled with corrosive and fear-inducing properties."

"This one is more for soothing and guiding, whereas the other type is for attacking and intimidating."

After hearing this, the two professors felt that the Yichuan Ruins were truly unfathomable.

"The sheer variety and diverse properties of the Spiritual Element medicinal ingredients alone are truly a sight to behold."

The group walked into an inner chamber, where the Dan Temple professor had already come out to greet them.

He first exchanged greetings with each of the old professors before smiling and shaking Gu Ming’s hand.

"I’ve finished refining the ingredients you left with me last time. The Elixirs are here. See what you think."

With that, he waved his hand and retrieved several Elixirs from his Beast Taming Space. They had a gentle luster and a subtle medicinal aroma—the freshly refined Dreamless Pills.

Gu Ming carefully examined the Elixir, which had been refined according to a formula obtained from the system’s future information.

He took a gentle sniff and felt a tranquil power waft around his nose. His mind felt as if it were gently settling, a comfortable sensation that made him want to fall into a peaceful sleep.

He knew that taking this Dreamless Pill would induce a state of dreamless, deep sleep.

It would feel as though one had merely blinked, but in reality, they would have rested for a very long time.

He was having this sensation without even taking the Elixir, just from smelling its scent.

He carefully stored away the Elixirs and sincerely thanked the Dan Temple professor.

You have encountered Ice Orchid and the Dan Temple professor.

You have received five perfect-quality Dreamless Pills.

At least, from the system’s point of view, these were perfect-quality Dreamless Pills.

Although the old professors were curious about this new Elixir, the matter at hand was more pressing.

After some discussion, the Dan Temple professor turned his attention to the day’s main topic, saying with great interest:

"I hear Ah Kun has evolved a new Attribute?"

"Haha, let me personally run a test."

"Ah Kun, if you would, please," Gu Ming said.

At these words, Ah Kun swished its large tail and slowly glided over to the lab’s custom-built analysis basin.

Guided by Ice Orchid, it secreted a small sample of a black substance for testing.

The Dan Temple professor took charge personally, directing his Pill Pet to perform a swift and precise Identification of the sample.

Before long, the results were in.

The Dan Temple professor nodded and said affirmatively:

"Testing confirms that Ah Kun’s secretions do indeed contain a Spiritual Power capable of inducing fear in living creatures."

"Without a doubt, it has successfully awakened a new Attribute—the extremely rare Fear Attribute."

He paused for a moment, then said to the two professors beside him:

"However, this Attribute is still in its nascent stage. Its intensity is very weak, having almost no effect on High-star Pet Beasts."

"Even against Same-star Level opponents, it will require a period of training and reinforcement to improve the Attribute’s quality before it can be truly applied in battle."

The Dan Temple professor’s professional assessment left everyone speechless, looking at one another. It was both surprising and, at the same time, perfectly logical.

Ah Kun’s path to Evolution was unique to begin with.

It accumulated power entirely through "eating." Its gluttonous nature, refusing nothing that came its way, was the very manifestation of its Talent as a Mutated Grouper Fish Pet Beast.

To be able to gain a new Attribute just by eating, however, was unheard of.

Even the Eight-star masters present couldn’t help but see it in a new light.

At the same time, it also made everyone more eager to obtain the medicinal ingredients from the Yichuan Ruins.

Besides the Spiritual Memory Essence, the medicinal ingredients inside were treasures as well.

Daoist He, who wore a Crane Hat, nodded slightly and began to speak:

"Fear, at its core, touches upon a living being’s instinctual resistance to ’oblivion’."

"Ah Kun’s Devouring Talent is an excellent foundation for wielding this Power."

"For its future training, the key is not to have it ’frighten’ opponents, but to instinctively integrate this concept of ’fear’ into every current of water it controls."

Gu Ming’s interest was piqued.

"Do you mean integrating the Power of fear into Ah Kun’s Wave-Swallowing Technique?" he asked.

"Exactly."

Daoist He smiled. "I will call it ’Wave-Swallowing Technique: Fear Ripple’."

"Teacher He, the Wave-Swallowing Technique has three fixed steps," Gu Ming reminded him.

"I know. The first step of the Wave-Swallowing Technique is Abyssal Stop, the second is Whale Leap, and the third is Returning Ruins."

"But that doesn’t mean you have to walk someone else’s path to the letter."

"As a genius from Wenquxing, innovation is commonplace. In fact, everyone there forges their own unique path."

"I’m merely proposing one line of thought. Integrate the Power of fear into its water currents. Instead of just crashing giant waves, the water would carry an intangible intent of fear. It would continuously permeate and erode the opponent’s mind, causing them to hesitate, make mistakes, and eventually, suffer a collapse of their mental defenses in battle."

As a leading expert on Spiritual Pet Beasts, Daoist He had a unique understanding of the subject.

He spoke with such profound clarity, despite merely helping Gu Ming draft a new training plan.

’Still, before I have Ah Kun change its Cultivation method, I’ll test it out in a dream first. That way, there’s no risk to its physical body.’

"Professor from the Dan Temple, what are your thoughts?"

The Dan Temple professor, an expert in pharmacology, picked up the conversation and offered his professional opinion:

"From a pharmacological standpoint, this Power needs to be guided gently to ensure stable growth."

"I suggest using an extract of Calming Flower as a base to neutralize any potential spiritual backlash from the Fear Attribute. Then, you can progressively add trace amounts of Mind-Bending Coral powder."

"It’s like formulating a reagent. This will help Ah Kun gain precise control over this Power and prevent it from going haywire."

Elder Huo saw that the other two had spoken.

As Gu Ming’s mentor, it would be a loss of face if he didn’t say something.

Therefore, drawing from his own Array Dao Understanding, he briefly analyzed Daoist He’s line of thinking for Gu Ming.

"Daoist He’s idea isn’t bad, but I’m not a fan of changing a Combat Technique midway through training. After all, this is a widely recognized and powerful Combat Technique. It can even help a Pet Beast with a weak foundation like a Grouper Fish unlock its potential for Evolution."

"Then what’s your training idea?" Daoist He shot back, his eyes wide.

Elder Huo shook his head with a smug little flourish and said:

"Construct a simple ’Fear Heart Anchor’ Array Pattern."

"Isn’t Gu Ming quite skilled with the Brain Array Carving Technique?"

"Why not do this: create a Brain Array designed to supplement the Wave-Swallowing Technique Battle Technique."

"This Array Pattern doesn’t need to be complex. Its core purpose is to gather and amplify Ah Kun’s fear-based Spiritual Power. Then, at a critical moment, it can use water currents or even its gaze as a medium to instantly strike an opponent’s mind, creating an effect similar to a spreading Fear Ripple."

Upon hearing this, Daoist He fell silent for a moment, his competitive aura slowly subsiding.

Gu Ming glanced from one master to the other, then finally looked at Ah Kun.

’Teacher Huo is the one who really gets us.’
