Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

"Contestant Jiang Chen is actually having his Pill Pets, each with different roles, perform a live ’Fusion Refining’ in the middle of battle."

"This is an incredibly advanced application, combining his personal Alchemy Dao with the Beast Taming Dao!"

Inside the Pill Furnace, the nimble "Catalyst" of wind, the profound "Inclusion" of Space, and the furnace’s inherent "Melting" property began to fuse, compress, and transform at an astonishing speed under the guidance of Jiang Chen’s unique Pill Formula!

The body of the Pill Furnace shimmered with a flowing light, emitting a low hum as if it were gestating something truly extraordinary.

The entire process was unbelievably fast.

Within five seconds of Ah Ji’s figure vanishing into the shadows, the fusion was already more than halfway complete.

Meanwhile, Ah Ji and Cyan Treasure had used Ah Ji’s camouflage Skills to approach the Pill Fire Beast.

Their original plan was to coordinate with Ah Ji’s Wave-Swallowing Technique to launch a final blow and wipe out their opponent in one fell swoop.

However, this was a move they had never seen before. The Pet Beasts were stunned and couldn’t help but stare, wanting to see more.

The reason wasn’t anything special.

It was simply a rare sight they had never witnessed before.

At the commentators’ desk, Professor Shen’s expression grew nostalgic.

"This move... I haven’t seen it in a long time. I never expected a student to use Pill Pet Combined Techniques this year."

Combined Skills are a type of Pet Beast Combined Techniques, and they are an extremely rare category of Skill.

Combining requires compatibility. Even between Pet Beasts of the same species, huge individual differences exist.

It’s not something you can do just because you want to.

Therefore, for three Pill Pets to combine, it isn’t just a matter of their comprehension and Talent. The most crucial factor is the Beastmaster’s personal training philosophy and techniques.

You could say that how to train Combined Skills depends entirely on these training methods. Such methods are priceless and aren’t typically published in academic papers for the world to see.

The Hall of the Great Dao has a collection of Combined Skills, but there are very few Beastmasters who can spend long periods reading there. Besides, High-star Beastmasters wouldn’t sacrifice their own Dao Practice just to secretly learn Combined Skills.

As a result, Combined Skills remain incredibly rare on the open market.

"That’s right. There are many types of Combined Techniques."

"However, the easiest to achieve are Pill Pet Combined Techniques. After all, Pill Pets deal with Elixirs and medicinal ingredients daily, making it easier for them to find a resonance in the Alchemy Dao," Professor Wang added with a nod.

The live audience didn’t understand Combined Techniques. Having this rare chance to learn a little something, they were eager for more.

But the two commentators only touched on the subject briefly, with no intention of delving into the training methods for Combined Techniques. They simply watched the special effects of the combined technique on the field, their eyes glittering.

Just then, the Red-scaled Dan Fire Beast let out a low roar.

Spurred on by its master’s Spiritual Power, it forcefully resisted Ah Kun’s terrifying pressure and regained a moment of clarity.

The fiery horn on its forehead blazed brightly. It opened its mouth toward the pulsating Pill Furnace and spat out a stream of incredibly condensed Lifebound Pill Fire essence!

This was the Pill Pet’s "Ignition" Skill, the final step to complete this special "Fusion Refining"—

—using its pure and tyrannical Lifebound Pill Fire as a "primer" for the fused energy, granting it the power to take a "fixed form"!

BOOM!

The Pill Furnace’s light instantly receded. A bizarre "Elixir Pill" the size of a longan leaped from its opening! Its surface flowed with a seven-colored radiance like water, and within it, one could faintly see phenomena of swirling wind and Space Ripples.

It didn’t look like a solid Elixir. It was more like a magnificent mass of composite energy, forcibly bound by the laws of the Alchemy Dao into a temporary "Pill Form" and radiating a heart-stopping life fluctuation.

Everyone could sense that the auras of the three original Pill Pets seemed to have been miraculously fused within the "Elixir Pill."

"The Pet Beasts vanished?"

"The three Pet Beasts were refined into an Elixir Pill just like that? Is he sacrificing his own team?"

Gasps of shock rippled through the audience.

The less experienced Beastmasters cried out that this was some dark, heretical art—a technique of sacrificing one’s Pet Beasts.

The two commentators simply nodded, and one of them said:

"This is an all-or-nothing, high-cost tactic. He’s sacrificing the temporary combat ability of three support Pill Pets in exchange for an instantaneous, ultimate power-up for his main attacker!"

"I’ve noticed, however, that some in the audience might be frightened, thinking the Pet Beasts are gone for good, refined into that Elixir Pill."

"That’s not actually the case, haha. This is a Combined Technique. Fusing them into an Elixir Pill is simply a high-level application of the Alchemy Dao."

Professor Shen added, "This is only a temporary fusion. Afterward, they will emerge from the refinement and return to their original forms."

Just as the commentators said, this move was Jiang Chen’s ultimate trump card. Once used, it would severely drain his Pet Beasts’ strength, making it nearly impossible for them to fight in the next match at full power.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Red-scaled Dan Fire Beast opened its massive maw and sucked the seven-colored Elixir Pill into its stomach!

ROAR—!!!

Amidst an earth-shattering roar, the aura around the Red-scaled Dan Fire Beast began to skyrocket at an explosive rate!

The red scales on its body stood on end, and what erupted from the gaps between them was no longer golden Pill Fire, but a chaotic blaze mixed with the cyan of wind, the silver gleam of Space, and the seven colors of medicinal mist!

Its body visibly swelled, its muscles bulged, and the light from the fiery horn on its forehead shot toward the sky.

A terrifying pressure far exceeding the Four-star Level, one that faintly touched the threshold of Five-star, descended with a crash!

Although this Power was violent and chaotic, showing clear signs of strain and instability, it felt as if it could collapse at any moment.

But in this one moment, it was the undisputed Peak of Power on the field!

"Pill Formula: Seven-Turns Limit-Breaking Flame!"

Jiang Chen pointed a finger, aiming directly at Ah Kun, the source of the greatest pressure.

The Red-scaled Dan Fire Beast’s massive maw opened in a roar. An incredibly condensed pillar of flame, only as thick as an arm, shot forth. It shone with the seven hues of colored glass, and the very Space it passed through seemed to warp and collapse. As if crossing space itself, the beam arrived before Ah Kun in an instant!

This pillar of flame not only contained Fire Element destructive power that surpassed its Level, but also incorporated the piercing Speed of wind, the hard-to-dodge nature of Space, and the unique corrosive and damage-over-time effects of Elixir energy!

Faced with this unavoidable and monstrously powerful strike, Gu Ming’s expression turned grave.

’Pill Pets combining... a Four-star Pill Fire Beast forcibly upgraded to possess power on par with a Five-star.’

’So this is your trump card.’

’In that case, it’s definitely stronger than my Ah Kun.’

Ah Kun was also ready. It activated the second stage of the Wave-Swallowing Technique: Whale Soaring and Heaven-Devouring-star Transformation.

It leaped, its massive body seeming to expand infinitely in the eyes of the onlookers, transforming into a giant Kun. Its wings looked as if they would grow to blot out the sky.

It opened its great maw, which seemed capable of devouring the very stars, unleashing an unparalleled suppressive force for a Four-star.

Having fought in the national league for so long, Gu Ming had been practicing Skills with Ah Kun in his dreams. He had long since raised his Skill Level with the once-unfamiliar second stage of the Wave-Swallowing Technique to the Master Level.

Although he hadn’t managed to bring it to the Great Success Realm, a Master Level Skill Level was enough for Ah Kun to hold its own in a Four-star battle.

However, it still wasn’t enough.

’Ah Kun can’t afford to fail with this move. Judging by the aura alone, a head-on clash would surely end in a disadvantage.’

’But my opponent’s fusion wasn’t instantaneous. That gives Ah Ji and Cyan Treasure, who are already in position near the Pill Fire Beast, the perfect chance to strike back.’

"Ah Ji, Cyan Treasure, unleash everything you’ve got!"

Gu Ming’s expression sharpened as he instantly transmitted the information about the weakness he’d observed via his Divine Sense.
