Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

Inside the Sports Arena.

The grand opening ceremony was nearing its end, but the atmosphere remained incredibly fervent.

Operating at peak capacity, a Spatial Expansion Array had ingeniously divided the Sports Arena’s interior into an inner core and an outer, infinitely expanding zone.

The spectator stands rose tier upon tier, stretching upwards as if to reach the night sky. Its capacity was staggering, easily accommodating millions of spectators.

As far as the eye could see, there was a dense, unending sea of bobbing heads, and the resulting wave of sound was so substantial it felt like a physical assault on the eardrums.

Only the most elite alliance of Beastmaster factions would possess the resources and technical prowess required to support a Spatial Array of this magnitude while ensuring the safety and viewing experience of millions.

Just then, a far grander and more solemn piece of music began to play. It seemed to resonate with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, pushing the atmosphere of the entire venue to a new high.

The master of ceremonies’ voice, amplified by a magical spell and filled with immense reverence and excitement, echoed clearly into every corner of the stadium:

"Let us welcome the representative of the Great Zhou Royal Family, the Thirteenth Prince—His Highness Zhou Shichen, to give the opening address for the competition!"

In that instant, a deep, majestic dragon’s roar faintly sounded, echoing between heaven and earth.

But this roar did not come from any physical Dragon Element Pet Beast. Instead, it emanated spontaneously from the figure walking slowly toward the center of the stage, as if it were a natural manifestation of his bloodline and destiny!

A young man dressed in a formal robe of black silk, embroidered with intricate dragon patterns in gold thread, walked with a steady gait into the spotlight at the very center of the stage.

He stood as straight and tall as a pine, with a handsome face and a pair of eyes as deep as a Star Sea. His very bearing naturally exuded a noble air of one who could look down upon the world.

An invisible aura of pressure seemed to surround him, causing the once-deafeningly noisy stadium to fall silent almost involuntarily the moment he appeared. A million gazes focused on him alone.

This was the Thirteenth Prince, Zhou Shichen, his name derived from the phrase "Generations of Monarchs, the North Star."

Zhou Shichen’s calm gaze swept over the vast, star-like river of spectators below, and beyond them, the blurred contestants’ area.

He needed no amplification device; his voice reached the ears of every person present—steady, powerful, and carrying an innate, unquestionable authority:

"By the sacred decree of the Emperor, I, Zhou Shichen, hereby declare the commencement of this competition."

He paused briefly, letting the declaration echo through the vast arena.

"The Beast Taming Dao, which connects heaven and earth, is the foundation of our Great Zhou and the basis of our strength."

"Today, the talented youths of the nineteen provinces gather here. Blades will be sharpened against each other, and spirits will clash in contention. Together, you shall explore the limits of synergy between humans and Pet Beasts and climb to the peak of life’s Evolution."

"I hope that all of you will live up to your prime, honor the pacts with those who stand beside you, and on this field of competition, display your brilliance to the fullest!"

His speech was concise and powerful, lasting no more than a minute in total.

As his voice fell, the formless Dragon Qi around him seemed to sense the power in his words. It rippled outwards, causing the surrounding air to generate visible energy waves, as if Space itself were paying him homage.

He didn’t even need to release a Pet Beast to display his Power.

Just by standing there, his words, actions, and bearing were enough for everyone to clearly understand the meaning of a true "Celestial Royal Family" and the royal majesty that stems from bloodline and heritage.

Gu Ming stood in a relatively remote corner of the contestants’ area, gazing from afar at the dazzling figure in the center of the stage. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Compared to a lifetime of only ever seeing members of the Royal Family on a television screen, the shock of witnessing one in person—especially feeling that tangible, overwhelming Dragon Mighty and presence—was more than ten times greater!

It was a visceral feeling, one born from a higher level of life and a greater tier of Power, far beyond what any video recording could ever convey.

Onstage, the Thirteenth Prince, Zhou Shichen, did not linger. After finishing his speech, he simply gave a slight nod in all directions, a polite smile on his face.

Then, under the countless gazes filled with reverence and adoration, he calmly turned and walked off the stage with a steady stride. He headed straight for the exclusive royal viewing box suspended at the highest point of the arena, truly beginning to watch the subsequent matches from a position that looked down upon all living things.

Immediately after, a host in a magnificent formal suit strode briskly onto the stage, a beaming smile on his face, and announced:

"Thank you, Your Highness Shichen, for kicking off the competition!"

The host’s words were impassioned and highly motivational.

He began to follow the scheduled program, introducing the contestant representatives one by one, calling out names both famous and new to come on stage and receive the crowd’s cheers.

"...And now, all competitors have arrived.

"Among them are the heirs of long-standing, prestigious families, as well as rising stars from humble backgrounds who have earned recognition through silent toil. And there are even prodigies like—"

Here, the host deliberately raised his voice, full of emphasis:

"—student Gu Ming of Wenquxing University! Though he has only just entered the hallowed halls of the university, he has already shaken the academic world with his breathtaking scholarly achievements and is hailed as a prodigy destined to become a future leader in the field!"

"Let’s give them a thunderous round of applause and look forward to their spectacular performances to come!"

The moment the host enunciated the name "Gu Ming" with exceptional clarity—

There, below the stands, cloaked in his Shadow Cloak and concealed at the edge of the contestants’ area, was Gu Ming.
