Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

"Your delivery is here."

Outside the villa, a clear bird's cry rang out.

An albatross-type Pet Beast with shimmering wings and a special basket hanging from its beak was flapping its wings. A tightly sealed package rested securely in the basket.

After Gu Ming signed for it, he carried the box into the living room.

Tearing open the protective outer layer, he found a palm-sized, completely transparent, light-blue crystal chip lying inside.

Icy mist and flowing light seemed to swirl within it, faintly emitting a pure Energy Fluctuation—it was the official tournament memory crystal he had asked Elder Huo to procure for him.

Lu You heard the noise and came out from an inner room, her gaze falling on the crystal with a hint of curiosity.

Gu Ming held it in his palm and explained:

"Tomorrow's match won't be easy. We need to understand our opponent as much as possible."

"This is an 'Immersive Memory Crystal.' It's created by a special Pet Beast skilled in the way of Divine Sense using a Secret Technique to almost perfectly imprint the Dao Charm and energy flow from the competition grounds."

"We can immerse our Divine Sense into it and observe the match repeatedly as if we were there in person."

Hearing this, a look of realization flashed in Lu You's eyes, quickly followed by a focused expression:

"I see... This way, we should be able to see many details that a phone recording can't capture."

Before long, the two were sitting cross-legged opposite each other in a quiet room.

The crystal chip, placed on a small table between them, emanated a faint glow.

The two of them focused their minds, preparing to immerse their consciousness into the "arena" constructed from memory and Daoist Skill.

The special crystal chip felt warm and smooth to the touch, and an icy mist seemed to flow within it.

Gu Ming gently pressed it against his forehead and sent a wisp of his Divine Sense into it.

At the same time, Lu You also closed her eyes and focused, connecting her consciousness.

The light and shadows before them shifted. The Divine Senses of the two of them, along with Ah Kun, Cyan Treasure, Ah Ji, Mianmian, Mouse Treasure, and Little Star, transformed into intangible "ghosts" and stood silently in yesterday's magnificent arena.

The roar from the surrounding audience, the energetic hum of the protective barrier, and even the residual chill and sharp aura in the air were all clearly perceptible, as if they were truly there.

The battle began again.

The Broken Blade Crystal Scorpion shot forward, and the Frost Shadow Dragon Steed stomped the ground, conjuring frost.

This time, Gu Ming's ghostly form drifted directly to the edge of the rising wall of frosty white mist.

He could even see the ice mist vibrating at high speeds on a microscopic level, each ice crystal seeming to carry a retarding will.

"Stop."

Although it was his first time "reading" such a high-end device, Gu Ming had read related research papers, so he paused the playback with a slight shift of his will.

The memory playback froze instantly.

He carefully observed the moment the mist wall made contact with the Crystal Scorpion's carapace, watching how the faint blue energy was eroded and slowed, layer by layer, by the vibrating ice mist.

"The Frost Steed's desire to attack is so high..."

Lu You's soft voice sounded directly in his consciousness.

Gu Ming nodded. "There's Divine Sense interference mixed into the ice mist."

"Look at the patterns of the energy flow. It's disrupting the opponent's rhythm of energy circulation. It's an obvious counter, especially against the Crystal Scorpion, which relies on high-frequency vibrational attacks."

Lu You listened quietly, saying nothing, trying to help Gu Ming spot more details.

The recording continued. The Dragon Steed soared into the air, and icicles fell like shooting stars.

Gu Ming moved his form, closing the distance until he was almost parallel with a few of the falling icicles. The Pet Beasts heard his voice once more.

"Stop."

The icicles hung in mid-air. Runes were faintly visible on their surfaces, and the trajectory of the cold energy flowing within was magnified by their Divine Sense Perception.

Lu You's Ghost Body floated to the other side. The Star Spirit in her arms stirred slightly, causing a look of realization to dawn on Lu You's face. She said:

"The concentration of core cold energy in these icicles varies."

"Look at the ones with a slightly curved trajectory. The energy they contain is more concealed. It seems like... they have properties that cause a subsequent explosion or apply continuous damage?"

"If you only defend against them as a physical impact, you might be at a disadvantage."

They started and stopped, magnifying and scrutinizing the key moments of the seven clashes one by one.

The Dragon Steed's every mid-air turn, the subtle build-up of power before it breathed frost, and even the flickering rhythm of the icy glint in its eyes all revealed more details under this immersive, ghostly observation.

This also allowed the Pet Beasts to more directly perceive how every single one of the opponent's moves was backed by a powerful Daoist Skill foundation, capable of easily shattering the defenses of a Three-star Pet Beast.

In other words, besides a tough, thick-skinned big fish like Ah Kun, Cyan Treasure would be seriously injured by a single hit.

As for Ah Ji, he could turn into a shadow, so it would be easier for him to survive.

Gu Ming and Lu You reviewed the fight for a while before moving on to the main event for the night: the dream Cultivation Space.

In the dream, Gu Ming pulled up the opponent's information recorded by the system.

Instantly, the form of Princess Zhou Mingyue's Pet Beast, the Frost Shadow Dragon Steed, appeared on the scene.

The Dragon Steed was wreathed in cold mist, its scales glittering like diamonds. Its draconic eyes held an ancient, chilling cold. Its Four-star Level Cultivation made the three Pet Beasts on the field feel the pressure of a superior being.

This so-called sense of superiority didn't come from status, but from the royal foundation within its bloodline that other Pet Beasts could perceive.

"Cyan Treasure, Ah Ji, Ah Kun, how tomorrow's fight goes will all depend on tonight! Attack together!"

The three Pet Beasts exchanged a glance and nodded.

'It's not like we haven't seen scarier High-star Pet Beasts before.'

'It's just a Frost Shadow Dragon Steed. Let's just do it.'

SWOOSH.

The three Pet Beasts moved like a clap of thunder, launching their attack.

...

The crystal chip at her fingertip was slightly cool as she pressed it tightly to the center of her forehead.

Zhou Mingyue closed her eyes and focused, her consciousness sinking into the memory battlefield woven from Divine Sense.

The first thing that washed over her was a heat so intense it almost seared her Divine Sense.

In the recording, the aura of the Red-scaled Dan Fire Beast had bizarrely merged with the other Pill Pets, undergoing a fundamental transformation.

Golden fire roiled in the gaps of its scales. The berserk energy caused its body to swell, and its oppressive might broke through its limits, allowing it to briefly step into the Five-star level!

A crimson-gold light tore through Space, surging forward with the resolve to incinerate everything.

And what met this torrent... what Zhou Mingyue "saw," was a deep darkness that seemed capable of swallowing the entire sky.

The colossal shadow formed by the wings of the Pet Beast named Ah Kun blotted out the sun, invoking some ancient and profound rule as it collided head-on with the Pill Fire torrent.

The fragments of memory themselves distorted and trembled at the center of the collision, even transmitting the wail of the protective barrier being pushed to its limit.

A clash of pure Power—savage, direct, and stunning to behold.

But what truly made Zhou Mingyue's long eyelashes tremble almost imperceptibly was the scene that followed.

There was no dazzling explosion.

Only a spreading light, as clear as melting snow.

That Cyan Snake and its Beastmaster seemed to have transcended reality with their minds, entering a profound Domain.

The Light Snake Dharma Form, the Divine Sense Torch... The combination of the two gave rise to a high-level Technique that pointed directly to the essence of things, reflected truth, and dispelled falsehood.

That clear light looked gentle, peaceful, and soft, devoid of any sense of power.

But as the light swept over it, the Pill Fire Beast, which had been peerlessly mighty just a moment before, immediately went berserk, no longer able to hide the Power of a Demon Fiend.

The recording ended.

Zhou Mingyue slowly opened her eyes, which held a settled clarity.

She put down the crystal chip, her fingertip unconsciously tapping the smooth surface as if assessing the quality of an artifact.

Then, she turned her head. Her gaze swept past the translucent, ice-blue eyes of the Frost Shadow Dragon Steed beside her, which reflected the faint light, and fell upon the even denser shadow behind it.

In the darkness, a larger, more restless silhouette seemed to stir.

Her tone was flat, as if stating the most obvious of facts:

"Their Power is acceptable, and their trump card is somewhat interesting."

"But... that's all there is to it."

She gave an almost imperceptible nod towards the shadow. "Tomorrow, business as usual. It's not time for you to make a move yet."

"GROAN—!"

From behind the screen, a low, suppressed hum immediately followed.

One was as wild as a storm, the other as heavy as a subterranean thunderclap.

Their battlelust burned, but they had no outlet for it.

They longed for a real fight, yet among the contestants in their grade, few were worthy opponents.

This greatly displeased these powerful beings.
