Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

A faint, yet distinct, thought returned from the depths of Ah Ji’s silent Sea of Consciousness, like a gossamer thread:

"Master... I... feel... light... so heavy... like I’m in deep water..."

Its consciousness was awakening!

"Swim toward the light source. That’s the switch for the Enlightenment Array. Try to touch that light."

Gu Ming continued to guide it, his heart filled with anticipation.

He knew the most critical step was at hand.

While maintaining his Divine Sense connection with Ah Ji, he quickly scanned the system interface that only he could see.

Sure enough, a new line of information popped up:

"Ah Ji is in a state of deep consciousness Cultivation..."

Gu Ming thought to himself, ’Attaboy!’

"Elder Huo is teaching the Chaos Creature Ah Ji Spiritual Awakening Techniques."

In that instant, the most fundamental and core Cultivation Technique for the "Spiritual Awakening" Skill—how to compress and refine one’s Spiritual Power in the liminal state between waking and dreaming, then guide it in an explosive burst to instantly enhance body control and reaction Speed—transformed into a pure stream of memory.

This stream flowed through the channel of Gu Ming and Ah Ji’s Soul Contract, precisely injecting itself into Ah Ji’s struggling, awakening consciousness.

This was originally Elder Huo’s job in the future timeline.

But Gu Ming was using memories obtained by exploiting a bug, passing this knowledge to Ah Ji through their Pet Beast Contract and a vague, intuitive feeling.

Ah Ji’s body suddenly trembled!

It was as if it had received some crucial piece of knowledge or inspiration.

Gu Ming’s words were like a switch for inspiration; they provided a starting thread, and a flood of ideas followed.

In its Sea of Consciousness, the "Enlightenment Mental Array," which had been slowly rotating and emitting a faint glow, suddenly erupted in brilliant light, its rotation speed accelerating dramatically!

The Heart Mirror-like structure at the center of the Array projected a condensed beam of spiritual light, fiercely "piercing" into the chaotic depths of its consciousness!

"MROW—!"

A piercing cry, not uttered from its throat but erupting directly into the minds of everyone present, burst forth from Ah Ji!

It still hadn’t opened its eyes.

But its entire body seemed to be faintly lifted by an invisible force, its shadow stretching a meter off the ground.

The intensity of the Spiritual Fluctuations emanating from it instantly tripled.

While still not powerful, it was filled with a sense of condensation, coiled and ready to strike!

Success!

The embryonic form of Spiritual Awakening had finally been successfully guided out of the dreamless abyss!

Elder Huo, Daoist He, and the teacher from the Dan Temple exchanged glances, each seeing the unconcealable shock and joy in the others’ eyes.

They were witnessing the birth of a brand-new Cultivation method that combined Elixirs, Arrays, and the concept of Spiritual Awakening!

Although this was merely the first step of a long journey, it had undoubtedly opened a door to an unknown Domain.

Gu Ming let out a long sigh of relief, a gratified smile on his face.

He looked at Ah Ji, whose body was surging with active Spiritual Power. Seeing its eyes tightly shut, Gu Ming briefly perceived its thoughts and saw flashes of cultivation inspiration.

Right now, it was cultivating the so-called Spiritual Awakening Techniques, guided by this gushing wellspring of inspiration.

However, all the Eight-star titans present had only designed the Enlightenment Mental Array; none of them had researched a specific Cultivation Method for Spiritual Awakening Techniques.

If they had, they wouldn’t be here observing Ah Ji. They would have written it up as a thesis, proclaimed the name of the Cultivation Skill, and submitted it to the Hall of the Great Dao for certification.

"As expected, it’s already cultivating. Its Spiritual Power is expanding more and more."

"It hasn’t even reached the stage of three Inner Cores, yet it already has the bearing of a Three-star. Gu Ming, what do you plan to name this Cultivation Technique?"

The teacher from the Dan Temple and Daoist He asked.

"Let’s just call it Spiritual Awakening Techniques for now. We can figure out the specifics once it’s fully successful," Gu Ming said, shaking his head.

"Spiritual Awakening... So that’s the idea."

Elder Huo muttered to himself, gazing at the sharp, tangible Spiritual Field around Ah Ji that was condensed and refused to disperse.

As an Eight-star Beastmaster, he had witnessed countless powerful Pet Beasts erupt with power in desperate situations.

But to guide a Two-star Pet Beast to smoothly touch the threshold of "Spiritual Awakening" in its sleep using Elixirs and Arrays... that was simply unheard of.

Gu Ming caught the amazement in Elder Huo’s tone and took the opportunity to ask, "Teacher Huo, from what you’re saying, can High-star Pet Beasts also master similar abilities?"

"Naturally."

Elder Huo retracted his gaze, his voice tinged with emotion.

"High-star Level Spiritual Pet Beasts, especially those with extraordinary Talent.

"They can often trigger a massive eruption of Spiritual Power at moments of life and death or extreme emotional turmoil. The might of such an outburst is far beyond what Ah Ji is capable of right now."

"But..."

He changed his tone, his gaze toward Gu Ming filled with complex admiration. "Those instances rely more on bloodline instincts or extreme stimulation. They’re rare and can’t be sought out."

"An ordinary Pet Beast, even at Five-star, might not necessarily be able to turn it into a controllable Skill."

"Gu Ming, oh, Gu Ming... you’ve once again managed to forcibly ’scale down’ an ability exclusive to High-star Pet Beasts to a Low-star Level. And this time... it’s a bit ridiculous."

He carefully perceived Ah Ji’s state, growing more shocked the longer he observed:

"What’s even more incredible is how stable your method is."

"I can feel that even with such a massive surge of Spiritual Power during its slumber, its Sea of Consciousness remains stable, with no signs of damage to its foundation."

"The traditional Cultivation Method for ’Spiritual Awakening’ often requires repeatedly pushing one’s limits in desperate situations. The slightest mistake can result in a spiritual backlash—serious injury at best, or being reduced to an imbecile at worst."

"It’s a dangerous path, one you have to risk your life for."

"And yet you, with just a single Dreamless Pill and a Brain Array, have found a safer, more controllable path..."

"Although this is just the beginning, the potential of this technique is immeasurable."

The two teachers beside him said nothing, but they nodded in deep agreement.

After that, Ah Ji continued its deep Cultivation for an entire day.

When it slowly woke up, its eyes held a trace of confusion, but that was quickly replaced by an intense hunger.

Gu Ming had already prepared a carefully concocted, easily digestible, high-energy liquid meal. The little guy smelled the meat and immediately began to wolf it down, its body’s energy consumption clearly having been immense.

While still in the teacher from the Dan Temple’s laboratory, Gu Ming immediately performed a comprehensive Spiritual Power test on Ah Ji.

The results were exhilarating.

After this "Spiritual Awakening" Cultivation guided by the Dreamless Pill, the total amount and density of Ah Ji’s Spiritual Power had steadily surpassed the baseline for an ordinary Three-star Pet Beast, reaching a remarkably high quality.

It was even faintly touching the threshold of the Mid-Stage Three-star.

"This means," Gu Ming said, looking at the test report as a clear plan formed in his mind, "that on an energy level, Ah Ji is now qualified to break through to Three-star."

"Next, as long as we can bring its physical strength up to par and smoothly complete the further refinement of its Inner Core, we can start preparing for its Evolution."
