Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

"Is that the freshman who published a paper in *Peak*?"

"It’s really him!"

"Ahhh, it’s God Gu! Quick, take a picture!"

"God Gu, hi! Do you have a moment for a few words?"

"God Gu! I’m a reporter from the *Zhou Capital Beast Taming Daily*. Would you be open to a brief interview right now? Could you share your feelings about participating in the competition for the first time?"

Several reporters, along with students who were also contestants queuing up to sign in nearby, immediately swarmed him like bees to nectar.

Lenses of all sizes aimed squarely at his young, yet unusually calm face, which betrayed little emotion.

Surprise, curiosity, admiration, scrutiny... All sorts of complex gazes converged on him in an instant.

Gu Ming remained expressionless. The moment his Shadow Cloak dissipated, he had already guessed this would happen.

He quickly signed his name on the Great Dao Gold Paper they provided, turning a deaf ear to the gasps around him.

"Okay, Student Gu Ming, here’s your number card. The competition starts in half an hour. If you go in now, you can still catch the opening ceremony," the young lady at the registration desk said with a sweet smile.

The reporters and fervent fans beside him took a step forward, nearly pressing up against Gu Ming.

The moment the procedure was complete.

The seemingly ordinary shadow at his feet suddenly shot upward like a living thing. In an instant, the dark, shadowy substance enveloped his entire body, once again forming the Shadow Cloak that shielded him from outside prying eyes!

At the same time, he activated the Shadow Simulation Technique he’d acquired from Ah Ji. His figure blurred and distorted in everyone’s eyes, as if melting into the seams between light and shadow.

In the next instant, he vanished from his spot like a phantom, skillfully bypassing the dense crowd.

He darted into the deep, spacious inner corridor of the Sports Arena at a speed that was almost an "escape," completely shutting out the clamor and commotion behind him.

Stepping inside the arena, Gu Ming immediately felt a strange change in the sky around him.

Outside, a dim twilight lingered, but inside, a bizarre scene unfolded—a tapestry woven from the extremes of darkness and light.

This light wasn’t the brightness of the natural sun. Instead, the area was shrouded in a deep, uniform, man-made night sky that felt like velvet.

He looked up. Through the grand, hollowed-out dome of the Sports Arena, he could see countless fine specks of artificial Starlight slowly drifting along some profound, mystical trajectory.

A man-made moon, radiating a cool, clear brilliance, hung high in the center of this "night sky," casting down a pure, soft glow that made the entire arena interior look like a dreamlike wonderland.

What shook him even more was that here, he could clearly feel the majestic and boundless Power of the "Great Dao."

A mighty force, as if the rules of the world had been rewritten and heaven and earth brought under control, enveloped the entire space.

This Power gently but irresistibly influenced everything within the arena, including the mind of every person present.

This was a profound mystery that could never be felt outside the arena, even if one could also see the "night sky."

"No wonder..."

Gu Ming muttered to himself, the confusion in his heart finally resolved.

’It’s clearly morning, yet the sky over the entire Zhou Capital is dark as night. So this is the source of it all!’

This was undoubtedly a grand gesture from the opening ceremony’s organizers—a true "remaking of the sky and changing of the colors"!

’There must be top-tier Pet Beasts on-site that specialize in Illusions and Light and Shadow Manipulation.’

’The legendary Phantom Light Celestial Fox, working together with the Night Shadow Cloud Beast, which can command shadows and celestial phenomena.’

’With their unimaginably vast Mana and Spiritual Power, they have forcibly warped the sky above the city.’

’They’ve transformed the local celestial phenomena, especially in the core area of the Sports Arena, turning day into this magnificent and perpetual "Endless Night," all to create the most fantastical and shocking stage effect for this nationally anticipated event.’

Beneath this artificial night sky, the interior of the arena was the core of this Power, the area closest to the concept of an "Eternal Night."

The rest of Zhou Capital outside the arena was merely affected by the overflow of this immense Power, causing the sky to change.

Without personally entering the core of this Power, it was impossible to comprehend just how magnificent and terrifying its source was.

Only by standing inside the arena could one truly feel that immense, unparalleled Power—a shocking force that seemed to invade the mind, making one feel insignificant and reverent in their awe.

The natural order of daytime was completely shattered here, replaced by a man-made, celebratory atmosphere of almost frenzied bliss and intoxication.

The Royal Sports Arena was undoubtedly the most brilliant, central jewel in this man-made nightscape.

At this moment, the opening ceremony seemed to have reached a climax. Countless ribbons made of pure, condensed light cascaded down from the highest point of the arena’s dome like a torrential waterfall.

These ribbons of light intertwined with various rare Flying Pets, which were circling in specific formations in the air, creating a three-dimensional, ever-shifting web of light.

Even more numerous were the radiant chariots, trailing long, rainbow-colored flames, that followed the guidance of the light ribbons. They spiraled into the arena like a hundred rivers flowing to the sea, carving countless splendid arcs across the night sky.

This drew frenzied cheers from the millions of spectators in the stands, like a roaring tsunami, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

Gu Ming, draped in the Shadow Cloak formed by Ah Ji, walked through this strange radiance and artificial night, a scene forcibly shaped by the Power of top-tier Pet Beasts.

The surrounding crowd, regardless of age or gender, tilted their heads back in excitement, mouths agape, letting out gasps of amazement as they immersed themselves in the world-altering visual spectacle.

But Gu Ming simply, almost subconsciously, tugged at his Shadow Cloak, putting a bit more distance between himself and the excessive, bizarre lights and clamor of the outside world. He quickened his pace, passing through layer after layer of designated zones as he headed toward the contestants’ rest area.
