Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

Beneath the gaze of the livestream camera, the sparring match in the center of the training hall had quietly transformed into something of a public lecture.

At Gu Ming’s suggestion, several teachers on site worked together to set up a small-scale Strong Wind Array.

This array simulated the Spiritual Fluctuations that occurred when a pine forest met the wind, testing the students’ "Willpower" and "Resilience."

As the teachers activated the Array, an invisible spiritual pressure, like the soughing of pines in the wind, began to wash over the students’ Seas of Consciousness.

The students practicing the new "Cyan Pine" Visualization Method turned slightly pale, but most were able to adjust quickly.

They remembered Gu Ming’s key principle: ’The self is primary, Perception is secondary.’ They drew their consciousness inward, like a Cyan Pine sinking its roots deep into the earth. No matter how the storm raged, their core remained as steady as a rock.

Their Spiritual Fluctuations rippled but did not break.

In contrast, the students practicing the original Cyan Pine Unmoving Technique were a completely different story.

They strictly followed the requirements of their Cultivation Technique, trying their best to imitate the "unmoving" state of the "Cyan Pine" and sync their spirits with an imagined "Spirit of Nature."

However, under external pressure that required a highly adaptive response, the beginners’ lack of strength laid bare the flaws of pure imitation.

Their Spiritual Fluctuations were rigid and inelastic. When the "pine wind" shifted, they couldn’t adjust in time, and their expressions instantly soured.

Some of their Pet Beasts even let out uneasy whines, sensing the drastic fluctuations in their Beastmasters’ spiritual states.

The students who had inscribed the Array in their minds, supported by the Array itself, were gritting their teeth but still had enough Spiritual Power to spare to defend against the assault.

Gu Ming’s voice rang out in the livestream at the perfect moment—calm, yet with an undeniable, piercing quality:

"Everyone, please look. This is the key difference."

"The new Cyan Pine technique emphasizes the ’self’ as the dominant consciousness. The spirit becomes like a living tree. Aided by the Array, which lowers the pressure of Cultivating the Technique, a beginner can sway with the wind to disperse the force."

"The old Cyan Pine Unmoving Technique, on the other hand, pursues an ’unmoving’ state that mimics the ’Spirit of Nature.’ It appears stable, but it’s actually rigid."

"Once the external pressure exceeds its fixed, imitative pattern, its lack of adaptive, self-guided response becomes woefully inadequate."

"This isn’t because the students aren’t trying hard enough. It’s the inevitable result of a fundamental difference in the Cultivation Techniques’ philosophies."

His commentary was simple and easy to understand, yet it cut straight to the heart of the matter, presenting a direct, visual comparison for all to see.

The livestream chat instantly exploded:

"I see it! The students on the left are clearly more composed. The ones on the right are beet-red!"

"God Gu just revealed the secrets of the universe!"

"So it’s the difference between a ’living’ tree and a ’fake’ one!"

"What are you guys even seeing? They all look the same to me!"

Seeing public opinion shifting in his favor, Gu Ming decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"To all the parents out there who are interested in this New Technique and want to build a stronger spiritual foundation for your children."

"If you’re concerned about the difficulty of practicing the Cultivation Technique directly, you can start with some basic support Arrays."

"For example, let me briefly introduce the concept behind a simplified version of the Old Deng’s Health Array..."

Gu Ming knew that many teachers were already developing an ecosystem around the Cyan Pine Cultivation Technique. But compared to those newer Arrays, he was most familiar with the Old Deng’s Health Array taught to him by the system.

He didn’t go into the complex details of inscribing the Array Patterns. Instead, he focused on how the Array used specific spiritual frequency resonance to gently nourish and activate the Sea of Consciousness.

Its principles aligned perfectly with the new Cyan Pine Cultivation Technique’s core philosophy: "human-centric, flexible, and full of life."

He stressed that the Array was merely an aid.

The true core lay in a person’s willpower driving the Cultivation Technique.

Of course, learning through a screen was far less effective.

But Gu Ming’s profound yet simple explanation, combined with the academic prestige of a top-tier scholar, still left countless parents watching the livestream completely captivated. They were so impressed they spammed the screen with comments:

"Learned so much!"

"WOW, I can’t believe I got to hear a lecture from God Gu! I’ll never forget this!"

"Thank you for making this open source, God Gu!"

Gu Ming glanced back at the scene. The gap between the two groups of Cultivators was widening. The beginners using the old Cultivation Technique were clearly weaker than the Cultivators practicing the new Cyan Pine technique who had also inscribed Arrays in their brains. This was obvious to anyone with eyes.

The sparring session ended in a silent, mutual understanding. The result was self-evident.

When the livestream moved to the Q&A session, the chat was flooded with questions.

Suddenly, a ten-thousand-yuan super chat message with a sharp tone shot to the top of the feed:

"Gu Ming, the ’Brain Array’ you’re pushing is far from mainstream!"

"Inscribing an Array is incredibly dangerous! One mistake, and at best your spirit is damaged. At worst, your Sea of Consciousness will collapse!"

"What are your intentions, making these naive students take such a risk?"

"Are you just trying to promote your own unproven theories, with no regard for the safety of others?"

The question was incredibly sharp, striking right at the core risk. The scroll speed of the livestream chat instantly halved.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Gu Ming’s response.

Gu Ming’s expression showed no hint of panic. Instead, a faint, knowing smile touched his lips. ’As I expected.’

He began to speak calmly.

"That’s an excellent question, and it represents a concern many people share."

"First, regarding the safety of the Brain Array, I have never encouraged anyone to try it blindly, especially those without a proper foundation. All Cultivation requires caution."

Then his tone shifted, his eyes growing sharp.

"But for you to be so quick to label me... is it because I’ve stepped on certain people’s toes?"

"For example, the organizations that are spreading this clearly flawed, old version of the Cyan Pine Unmoving Technique across the country by giving away free Pet Beasts?"

Before the chat could explode again, Gu Ming dropped a real bombshell.

"As for safety, I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce a very simple and virtually harmless little Array I just learned about from Elder Huo of Wenquxing University—the Ritual Synesthesia Inspection Array."

He operated the equipment, projecting a set of simple, clear Spiritual Power guidance diagrams onto the livestream feed.

"The purpose of this Array is not for Cultivation. It’s for ’inspection’."

"It can keenly sense whether there are any ’imprints’ or ’resonances’ left on the subject’s spirit from a large-scale ritual."

Gu Ming stared directly into the camera, his gaze seeming to pierce through the screen to the hidden figures behind it.

"The reason I’m bringing this up isn’t to sell my own Cultivation Technique. It’s to expose a scam that could affect countless families!"

"If you’re worried about the risks of learning a new Cultivation Technique or a new Array, you don’t have to learn them. That’s fine."

"But this Ritual Synesthesia Inspection Array—I implore any Beastmaster parents with the means and the foundation to please, please check your children with it!"

His voice carried a gravity that could not be questioned.

"Check to see if their Seas of Spiritual Consciousness still bear the spiritual traces of that recent, nationwide, so-called ’General Knowledge Ceremony’!"

"See if your children, while accepting their ’gift,’ were also branded with some unknown, hidden imprint!"

"As long as someone is willing to try, the truth will inevitably come to light!"

His words were like a ladle of cold water thrown into a wok of boiling oil—the entire internet instantly erupted!

Doubt, support, shock, panic... all sorts of emotions spread like wildfire through the livestream chat and major forums.
