Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

The moment the Spell was chanted.

At the edge of the spiritual world, several powerful consciousnesses quietly emerged, materializing as indistinct figures.

One of them was none other than Elder Huo.

A debate on the Dao was a profound affair. Beastmasters who had reached a certain Realm were all qualified to observe such spiritual duels with their Divine Sense.

They were not merely witnesses; they could also intervene if one side was on the verge of collapse, protecting their Divine Sense from being extinguished.

At this moment, the consciousnesses of these observers were all drawn to the brand-new Power that Gu Ming and Cyan Treasure had suddenly invoked.

Elder Huo’s illusory figure let out a soft "Hm?" betraying the astonishment in his eyes.

He could clearly perceive that the pure power of light Gu Ming and Cyan Treasure were jointly channeling was something he had never seen before.

That light was not the Plant Life Light Wave, but the "Light of True Wisdom," capable of illuminating the hearts of men and perceiving the true nature of all thoughts.

All pretenses, falsehoods, and distortions had nowhere to hide under this light, forced to reveal their most primitive and authentic forms.

’Isn’t this, in a sense, another form of "returning to the natural source"?’

BOOM!

A vast tide of Holy Light surged forth from where Gu Ming and Cyan Treasure stood, shining directly at Mr. Tree and his Ancient Divine Deer!

Wherever the light touched, the scene changed drastically!

The illusion of Mr. Tree’s Ancient Divine Deer, originally brimming with divinity and the rhythm of life, twisted violently in the Holy Light, revealing a completely different and grotesque nature!

It was still enormous, but its Life Force had become twisted and berserk.

The branching antlers were no longer lush and green, but resembled dry, cracked bones, savage and terrifying.

The totemic patterns carved upon them were now stained a filthy, pitch-black, and flowed with an ominous aura.

But what was even more horrifying was the illusion of the "Ancient Divine Deer Ancestor" floating behind the Ancient Divine Deer.

Under the illumination of the Light of True Wisdom, it was shockingly revealed to be a massive, fleshless, ghastly white skeleton!

Within the remnants of its skeletal deer head, two points of eerie green ghost-fire flickered violently.

Once the divine radiance was stripped away, what followed was an enmity condensed over countless ages, carved into its very bones, and aimed at all humans, Beastmasters, and their Pet Beasts—

Overwhelming hatred!

Mr. Tree himself had not yet reacted. He merely thought Gu Ming was bluffing, using some pure Light Skill to shine on his side.

However, in the Perception of Elder Huo and the other observers’ Divine Sense, the Holy Light was like the most precise scalpel, instantly dissecting the "divinity" disguise the other party had so carefully constructed and exposing the monstrous nature within.

Elder Huo’s pupils contracted. His reaction was as fast as lightning.

A majestic surge of Spiritual Power erupted from him in an instant, forming an invisible shield that enveloped Gu Ming’s Divine Sense.

Simultaneously, light and shadow flickered by his side as several Array Pets of various forms appeared in a flash.

The Star Compass Beast was the first to appear, taking the form of an ancient Bronze Array Plate suspended in mid-air.

The celestial Circulation patterns of the Stars engraved all over its body lit up one by one. In particular, the position representing the "Zhen" trigram flared with starlight, emitting a powerful aura that stabilized Space and suppressed chaos.

The Star Pivot Array Turtle appeared with a low roar. Resembling a Profound Turtle, its four feet stomped the ground, causing a deep hum as the earth’s pulse responded in kind, reinforcing the lockdown of the Space.

The Sword Pill Pet Beast transformed into a piercing cold glint, circling the area at high speed. Its sword intent was chilling, locking onto any Qi Mechanism that might show signs of disturbance.

Meanwhile, the Glazed Array Plate Pet floated silently by Elder Huo’s shoulder. A soft halo of light flowed across its glazed body as it quietly channeled and amplified the energy from the Array Flags that had already been set up at the scene.

These few Array Pets appeared like lightning. The interwoven rhythm of their combined Array and their vast spiritual pressure caused the very air in the square to freeze, revealing the profound power of an Eight-star Beastmaster.

Under the protection of the Array Pets, Gu Ming’s Divine Sense was steadily pulled out of the debate Domain and returned to his own body.

Meanwhile, at the scene, some of the high-ranking members of the "Friends of Nature" organization turned pale with horror upon witnessing the Ancient Divine Deer’s true form—the skeletal ghost-fire and savage, withered bones. They hastily sent warnings via Divine Sense.

Only then, two seconds too late, did Mr. Tree realize his disguise had been broken. His face instantly turned ashen.

Just as he was about to make a move, Elder Huo’s voice rang out, cold and sharp:

"Seal!"

Before his voice had even faded, a massive sealing Barrier unfurled in an instant. It was invisible yet incredibly solid. With the Star Compass Beast at its core, it combined the Power of the Earth Veins channeled by the Star Pivot Array Turtle with the light from the Array Flags amplified by the Glazed Array Plate. Like a giant, inverted glazed bowl, it sealed the entire confrontation area shut.

Several local Beastmasters who had been observing from the shadows with no intention of interfering could no longer stand by after seeing the enemy’s true form.

They revealed themselves simultaneously, each taking up a position in the Array to block off any escape routes.

The low-level volunteers from "Friends of Nature" were lost and confused.

But the organization’s leaders at the scene were like startled birds, frantically summoning their Pet Beasts and using their various Divine Powers in an attempt to break the Array and escape.

However, before a Barrier personally set by an Eight-star Beastmaster and reinforced by multiple Array Pets, all their struggles were in vain.

Mr. Tree’s Ancient Divine Deer illusion didn’t even have time to gather more Power before it was forcibly imprisoned on the spot by the "Great Trend of Heaven and Earth" contained within the Barrier, unable to move.

This was absolute suppression by rank. There was no doubt about the outcome.

Gu Ming glanced at the system interface and saw the notification: "Combat resolved as expected. Slicer has been apprehended." He breathed a silent sigh of relief.

At this point, the ordinary audience members inside the sealing Array finally got a clear look at the Ancient Divine Deer’s terrifying true form, and an uproar instantly swept through the scene.

The live stream chat was exploding with comments.

The voices that had been defending "Friends of Nature" just moments before fell silent instantly.

Public opinion had completely turned. Only one sentiment remained across the entire internet:

Investigate thoroughly!

Hold them accountable!

At the scene, Elder Huo’s beard and hair fluttered slightly, his eyes flashing like lightning.

He made no effort to conceal his aura. The vast pressure of an Eight-star Great Beastmaster, mixed with the imposing presence of several Eight-star Pet Beasts, swept across the entire area like a tangible wave, making it hard for anyone to breathe.

His voice was like a great bell, each word like thunder, booming directly in the ears of Mr. Tree and his accomplices:

"Tree!

"What in the world have you done to those children, using this demonic creature and hiding behind the name of an ancestor?!

"Confess and you’ll be treated with leniency! If you wait for the enforcement squad to take over, they won’t be so courteous!"

Faced with a hopeless situation, Mr. Tree, whose face had been ashen, looked around. Unexpectedly, the expression on his face slowly faded away.

Perhaps being completely sealed off with no way out had, paradoxically, brought him a strange sense of calm.

It was as if he had already put matters of life and death aside.

Elder Huo’s pressure washed over him but seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

Beside him, the skeletal Ancient Divine Deer with its burning ghost-fire let out a series of mournful cries, its Energy Fluctuations rising and falling erratically.

Elder Huo’s expression changed abruptly. As if realizing something, he roared:

"Soul Suppression!"

The Star Compass Beast responded instantly. Starlight flared from the center of its plate-like body, and a visible ripple, accompanied by a low hum, spread out rapidly.

All the "Friends of Nature" staff inside the area collapsed, letting out muffled groans as if struck by a heavy blow before falling unconscious.

Mr. Tree, however, seemed to have anticipated this. The moment before he fell unconscious, he snapped his head to look directly at Gu Ming, his voice calm and eerie:

"This debate on the Dao is not over."

"I will be back!"

With that, he was completely knocked unconscious by the Array Power.

As for the grotesque Ancient Divine Deer Pet Beast beside him, its body rapidly softened and collapsed like a wax figure under the scorching sun, melting into a sizzling puddle of foul, stagnant water that evaporated in an instant, leaving not a single trace behind.

Immediately after, Mr. Tree’s own body began to change. His normal, yellow-toned skin started to rapidly transform, taking on the texture of wood.

In Cyan Treasure’s Perception, the man’s Life Power was rapidly declining, hurtling fanatically toward death.

Gu Ming’s heart jolted. The codename the system had given Mr. Tree flashed through his mind—

Slicer!
