Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

The sky was clear and bright this day, yet another strange phenomenon manifested above Wenquxing University.

Deep within the clouds, the Hall of the Great Dao—a symbol of the highest academic recognition—once again parted the mists to reveal a magnificent corner of its structure.

Immediately following, a brilliant, dazzling Six-Colored Holy Light descended from the heavens. Like the gaze of a deity, it fell with precision into the core area of Wenquxing University.

On campus, numerous students walking about or resting between classes were drawn to the light. They all looked up, their faces a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

Ever since Gu Ming had twice triggered the descent of the Nine-Colored Holy Light a short while ago, the faculty and students’ expectations for the Hall of the Great Dao’s appearance had been raised.

For nearly a week, a Holy Light had appeared almost daily.

However, the colors of these lights mostly failed to reach a level that would leave one speechless with shock.

This Six-Colored Holy Light, however, provided a little jolt of astonishment, rekindling everyone’s curiosity.

It should be noted that a Six-Colored Holy Light was by no means a common occurrence.

It wasn’t something one could expect to see every month, or even every quarter.

This was the symbol of a first-rate academic achievement at a top-tier institution, a mark of glory that countless researchers tirelessly pursued.

Just as everyone was speculating about which professor or senior student had achieved another breakthrough, the news had already begun to circulate among the well-informed.

The latest achievement certified by this Six-Colored Holy Light was, once again, the work of Gu Ming.

Its title was "The Construction of a Generalized Model for Spiritual Awakening Techniques and a Preliminary Exploration of its Application in the Low-star Tier."

In short, it was about making Spiritual Awakening Techniques accessible to lower tiers.

Upon hearing that it was Gu Ming’s new work, the surprise on everyone’s faces froze for a moment.

Then, it melted into a complex sigh of, ’Of course, it was him.’

"Oh, it’s God Gu... That explains everything."

"When God Gu makes a move, he just dominates everyone!"

"Even if it’s not a top-tier paper worthy of a Nine-Colored Holy Light... a casual piece from him still gets at least six colors. Comparisons are infuriating."

"But why only six colors this time?"

"It didn’t get a Seven-Colored Holy Light? With his standards, that doesn’t seem right, does it?"

On the campus forums and in the comment sections of online videos, countless enthusiastic netizens and students were frantically discussing the event.

Some sharp-eyed observers raised a question: given Gu Ming’s academic prowess, which had already earned him two top-tier publications with Nine-Colored Holy Lights, a paper with at least a Seven-Colored Holy Light seemed more in line with his caliber.

Of course, some of this was just people over-hyping Gu Ming’s academic abilities, but it was a perception shared by many.

Soon enough, an academic blogger shot a video with lightning speed and posted it online to answer questions and clear up the confusion for the masses.

"God Gu Returns After a Month of Seclusion! A Six-Colored Masterpiece Demonstrating His Immense Skill!

"You might be wondering, with God Gu’s ability, why it wasn’t a Seven-Colored Holy Light.

"Folks, a seven-color certification isn’t something you get just by wanting it. Besides, the concept of ’Spiritual Awakening’ wasn’t originally Gu Ming’s idea."

The blogger in the video cleared his throat and spent a dozen seconds or so using the careers of several elderly Grand Beastmasters with seven-color certifications as examples.

He helped everyone understand that for his first work of the new year, Gu Ming’s achievement was already stunning enough to surpass many academic Masters in history.

"But let’s get back to the point!

"In the realm of High-star Pet Beasts, some exceptionally talented individuals exist who can master similar abilities.

"However, they mostly rely on bloodline instincts or extreme emotional triggers. These are just haphazard bursts of power, extremely difficult to replicate and pass on.

"The breakthrough in Gu Ming’s paper is that he has transformed this uncontrollable ’outburst’ into a systematic, learnable, and trainable ’skill model,’ allowing it to be reliably learned and utilized by Low-star Tier Pet Beasts!"

"This is equivalent to simplifying and universalizing a peerless martial arts technique. Its significance is extraordinary.

"But since it’s not a ’zero-to-one’ original innovation, the Hall of the Great Dao granting it the high recognition of six colors is already extremely rare."

At almost the exact same time the Great Dao Holy Light descended and its scholarly aura filled the campus, another intense Energy Fluctuation shot skyward from a private cultivation room somewhere on campus!

It was a pure and profound light of Evolution. Within the glow, the nimble silhouette of a Cat Demon could be faintly seen, undergoing a transformation.

This light belonged to none other than Ah Ji!

As it turned out, after Ah Ji had successfully mastered the theoretical framework for the "Spiritual Awakening" skill, its daily Cultivation, the resources Gu Ming had carefully prepared, and its own deeply accumulated foundation all culminated in a chain reaction.

Its body and spirit had already reached the absolute limit of the Two-star Peak, and the opportunity for Evolution was ripe.

Gu Ming had long anticipated this and had made plans accordingly.

Today, just as planned, he seized the perfect opportunity presented by the appearance of the Hall of the Great Dao and its radiant Holy Light.

With several senior teachers from the university standing guard, he guided Ah Ji to begin its breakthrough to the Three-star Realm.

This Evolution was no simple accumulation of energy or change in form.

Instead, it was the Qi Refining Evolution that Gu Ming had always advocated and put into practice.

Nourished by the majestic Great Dao Holy Light, Gu Ming guided Ah Ji to reverse-refine the two Inner Cores within its body, both of which had already reached Perfection. He activated the Innate Qi it had long since absorbed and, like an artisan, remelted and reforged the essence of the Inner Cores.

Then, using the Foundation Establishment Platform to stabilize the process, he re-condensed their essence, ultimately forming three brand-new Inner Cores that held even greater potential!

Any errors that might have occurred in the original plan were prevented by the radiance of the Hall of the Great Dao’s Holy Light. The entire process went exceptionally smoothly, as if it were simply a matter of course.

When the light of Evolution slowly receded, a Little Cat Demon opened its eyes. It looked full of life, its body seemed even more agile, and shadows swirled through its dark fur.

It was Ah Ji, having successfully advanced to the Three-star Realm!

At this moment, Ah Ji’s eyes were filled with sharpness and confidence.

Although it had already practiced "Shadow Cloak" and "Shadow Mimicry" to the Great Success Realm within the Dream Cultivation Space, it had been limited by its Two-star power. As a result, it had never been able to truly use the "Spiritual Awakening" skill, which consumed far more Spiritual Power.

Now, the barrier to the Three-star Realm had been shattered, and immense Power coursed through its body.

With barely a moment’s hesitation, Ah Ji sent out a mental command. The "Enlightenment Mental Array," long since perfectly constructed within its Sea of Consciousness, activated instantly!

At the same time, it unleashed "Spiritual Awakening" completely, for the very first time in the real world!

HUMMM—

An invisible yet immense wave of Spiritual Power erupted from Ah Ji, surging upward!

Even though the teachers standing guard were prepared, they could clearly perceive with their Divine Sense that Ah Ji’s Spiritual Power had skyrocketed in an instant. It had soundly surpassed the average level of an ordinary Four-star Pet Beast, reaching a staggering new height!

With precise control over this surging Spiritual Power, Ah Ji immediately unleashed "Shadow Mimicry," the skill it took the most pride in.

Its form flickered. The dense Shadow Energy didn’t just cover its body; instead, like modeling clay in the hands of a nimble artisan, it rapidly twisted, contorted, and took shape.

In the blink of an eye, it conjured the spectral image of an Arm Armor around the outside of Gu Ming’s arm. It was incredibly lifelike and shimmered with a dark luster.

The Arm Armor’s design bore a striking resemblance to the "Shadow Armor" of Teacher Tang’s Profound Celestial Beast Ghost Soul!
