Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

After returning to his villa at Wenquxing University, Gu Ming had Ah Ji check the Light and Dark Concealment Array and inject it with its usual Mana. Then, he went to the training room and nodded at Lu You.

"Hold on. Teacher Huo gave me some Spirit Medicine. Let’s wait for Ah Kun to devour it before we enter the dream."

"Okay." Lu You indicated it was no problem; she could wait as long as needed.

Once Ah Ji returned, Gu Ming focused his mind and entered his Beast Taming Space.

Cyan Treasure was coiled in a corner, fast asleep. A faint halo of life energy surrounded it, slowly repairing the damage from the day. Its breathing was steady.

Ah Ji didn’t enter the space. Instead, it hid in the shadows of the training room, silently digesting the insights it had gained from watching the battles today.

Ah Kun came out from inside. It had felt Gu Ming’s call and swam over, swishing its tail fin, a mix of exhaustion and anticipation in its movements.

Gu Ming then took out the Jade Bottle that Elder Huo had gifted him from the Beast Taming Space.

The moment he uncorked the bottle, an incredibly rich aroma filled the air. It carried the unique tranquility of the deep sea—vast and with a faint, briny scent.

Gu Ming glanced inside. It wasn’t seawater, but a gelatinous, azure mass that seemed to contain the condensed essence of a ten-thousand-mile-deep ocean abyss.

This must be the Ten Thousand Miles Undersea Deep Stone Milk.

"Ah Kun, take this. Calm your mind and comprehend it."

"Focus on the Mental Wave-Swallowing Technique Visualization Image. Don’t force it. Just feel the ’stillness’ and ’momentum’ from the deepest part of the ocean."

Gu Ming used his Divine Sense to transmit the message, guiding a drop of the Deep Stone Milk into Ah Kun’s mouth.

Ah Kun’s massive body trembled slightly. The drop of Deep Stone Milk dissolved the instant it entered its mouth.

The energy was immense, yet it wasn’t a violent rush.

It was like a drop of thick ink falling into a clear lake of consciousness, instantly blooming into an endless, deep-blue tranquility.

At that moment, Ah Kun felt as if it had left the cramped training room.

Its Divine Soul was pulled into an abyss of consciousness.

It was no longer a Three-star Grouper Fish.

Instead, it had transformed into a mountain range slumbering at the bottom of a ten-thousand-mile-deep sea, feeling the crushing weight of the endless ocean above.

Beneath this pressure was an absolute "stillness" that had remained unshaken for hundreds of millions of years.

This "stillness" was like a dead silence, like the unhurried accumulation of time itself.

’Or perhaps, this itself is the momentum of the mountains, the Power of the sea?’

[Ah Kun has consumed the Ten Thousand Miles Undersea Deep Stone Milk and entered an Enlightenment State.]

[Ah Kun’s comprehension experience for the Wave-Swallowing Technique is increasing...]

Lu You, sitting opposite him, blinked.

She could smell the briny scent from the Jade Bottle, but now, she felt the atmosphere shift.

The briny smell seemed to have faded, replaced by a strange stillness in the training room.

It was like the suffocating calm before a storm.

’Is a tsunami brewing on the seabed?’

’Or is there an undercurrent surging somewhere else?’

She, Mouse Treasure, and Mianmian—who was in a cocoon with two small eyes peeking out—all turned to look at Ah Kun in unison.

Ah Kun’s eyes were closed, and it was perfectly still. Inside, however, its Devouring Secret Technique was operating at full power, digesting the baptism brought by the Ten Thousand Miles Undersea Deep Stone Milk.

It instinctively activated the first step of the Wave-Swallowing Technique: Abyssal Stop.

Its ability to still the flow of water seemed so naive and shallow in the face of its current comprehension.

The true "Abyssal Stop" wasn’t about calming the surface of the water. It was about making the kinetic energy of an entire ocean stagnate and accumulate under its will!

Just as its comprehension of this ultimate "stillness" reached its peak, Gu Ming suddenly felt something. He reached out, took Lu You’s hand, and activated the Dream Cultivation Space, pulling everyone present into the dream.

Inside the Conscious Illusion Realm, the slumbering "Undersea Mountain Range" deep within Ah Kun’s mind seemed to stir.

An accumulation of power, born from primal instinct, began to awaken like an undersea volcano after a long slumber. Its will erupted like a blazing fire!

BOOM—!

Layers of water vapor billowed out from Ah Kun’s sides.

The vapor quickly transformed into a continuous mirage of ocean waves, and a vision of an Undersea Mountain Range formed before their eyes.

As soon as Lu You entered the dream, she witnessed a miraculous sight.

’To think that consuming a single bottle of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could have such an effect.’

’The item Teacher Huo gave him must be another priceless treasure.’

’It’s probably something Gu Ming couldn’t buy directly, even with his special quota. He might have had to place an order and wait several months for his turn.’

Gu Ming’s Divine Sense stirred. He sent it into Ah Kun’s Sea of Consciousness and saw it transform into a primeval Giant Whale. With unstoppable momentum, its back broke through the immeasurably heavy seawater, leaping brazenly from the deepest abyss toward the only light—the surface, and even the sky beyond!

This leap was life’s roar against its restraints, a challenge to the heavens from a power that had been dormant for eons!

The second step of the Wave-Swallowing Technique!

Whale Soaring and Heaven-Devouring-star Transformation!

Ah Kun’s soul seemed to hear the long cry of a primeval Giant Whale, feeling a supreme aura that yearned to open its mouth and swallow all the Stars in the sky!

This wasn’t Devouring in a physical sense, but a manifestation of the "Dao." It was the ambition to use one’s own body as a furnace for the Refinement of all things in heaven and earth!

VMM...

The water flowing around Ah Kun in the dream, once calm, suddenly turned violent.

A whirlpool, far larger and deeper than any before, formed on its own.

The center of the whirlpool pulled it downward, while simultaneously generating a terrifying, upward suction that seemed ready to erupt!

Even the Spiritual Qi in the dream’s simulation of the villa was thrown into disarray.

Cyan Treasure, which had been resting and recuperating, suddenly opened its eyes. It looked at Ah Kun and had a mischievous thought: ’I could use my Breathing Technique to suppress the commotion from Ah Kun’s Cultivation and see how it manages after that.’

However, it didn’t do so. The thought merely drifted through its mind.

Ah Ji shook its head. It wasn’t afraid of the whirlpool. Able to turn into a shadow at any moment, it was already in an invincible position—unless its opponent had Light Skills or other Skills that could counter Dark Power.

The immense vision in the dream lasted for only three breaths before quickly subsiding.

Ah Kun collapsed wearily, opening its drowsy, sleepy eyes.

’This... is Master’s dream?’

"You’re awake. Did you reach the threshold of the second step?" Gu Ming asked.

From Gu Ming’s perspective, the learning progress for the second step of Ah Kun’s Wave-Swallowing Technique had leaped forward, finally increasing from 5% to 10%.

It wasn’t 100%, but doubling the progress was enough to bring tears to one’s eyes.

Hearing its master’s words, Ah Kun suddenly remembered. Just now, while visualizing the Wave-Swallowing Technique Visualization Image, it had experienced a sensation of soaring through the air, like a "whale leaping to devour the heavens."

One had to remember it was just a Grouper Fish. How could it possibly have the ability to fly?

But its master had said it was a Kun, not a traditional Grouper Fish.

’As a Kun, it makes no sense to be bound by river water.’

Ah Kun blew some bubbles, indicating that it had found the feeling and wanted to fly higher.

But the feeling was fading. Could it have another drop?

"Go ahead and drink," Gu Ming said with a chuckle. "The good thing about the dream is that after you finish something, I can just replicate it. You can never get full."

The Miraculous Elixirs in the dream only retained their conceptual essence; they had no real nutritional value and wouldn’t increase one’s Cultivation or strength.

Eating it wasn’t true satiation, just a false sense of being full.

Normal Pet Beasts would quickly feel stuffed from eating and drinking in the dream.

They could only continue eating and cultivating if they reversed their own consciousness and convinced themselves they weren’t full yet.

But Ah Kun was recognized by the system as having a Talent for Devouring Evolution, so it could eat and drink endlessly in the dream, forever on the path of Devouring Evolution.

Of course, this also had something to do with Ah Kun’s slightly dazed personality and love for eating.
