Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 373: Chapter 262: Sedimentation 3

"Welcome, welcome."

"Ah Yu, do you want to live with us?"

A few of the human girls immediately showed their enthusiasm upon hearing that Ah Yu was joining the study group.

Meanwhile, Hom, as if she hadn’t heard their conversation, reached out and began stroking the Gray Demon Whale’s smooth skin as if appreciating a work of art.

Perhaps because it was still a juvenile, the little calf’s back had not yet sprouted bone spikes.

"Woooah?"

The strange gaze made the Gray Demon Whale, which was coveting the delicious Crystal Stone in a student’s arms, shiver involuntarily.

"It’s still too small... We can’t experiment on it for now. We’ll have to wait until it’s at least War General Level before we can perform some of the initial preparations on it."

A moment later, Hom retracted her hand and said coldly.

After speaking, she shifted her emotionless gaze to Ah Yu.

"You lowly member of the Hexagon Race, out of respect for Han Ning, I will give you one chance. One week from now, if you cannot pass the test, I will refuse to teach you anything."

This single sentence made all the students who were chatting fall instantly silent.

The scene descended into a strange silence.

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to say a word.

...

Ah Yu trembled all over under Hom’s icy gaze. She instinctively fell to her knees with a THUD and said, her voice shaking,

"L-Lord Hom, I will definitely study hard..."

When she mustered the courage to look up again, she found that Hom wasn’t even looking at her. Her attention was back on the Gray Demon Whale, and she was gesturing with her long, slender fingers.

"Ah Yu, get up."

Just as Ah Yu was at a loss, Han Ning’s Spiritual Power suddenly entered her mind.

"Yes."

Perhaps because she was used to such treatment, Ah Yu, though frightened, showed no other emotion on her face. She silently walked over to stand behind Han Ning.

"Sigh..."

Han Ning sighed softly and explained:

"Teacher Hom was once imprisoned by the Alataku People for several hundred years. Her husband, her daughter, and her entire life were destroyed by them. And most of the Abyssal Races in the Grudge Abyss are more or less related to the Alataku People... so it’s understandable that she’s not fond of you..."

It was for this very reason that Hom harbored great hostility toward all Abyssal Races. However, feelings were feelings, and work was work. Han Ning believed that with her life experience and rationality, she could distinguish between the two.

In fact, she had been the one to proactively suggest finding a few Abyss Beastmasters to assist with the work of drawing the Spiritual Arrays.

"I understand," Ah Yu said, her head lowered.

He waved his hand, gesturing for Ah Yu to take an empty seat, and added a word of advice:

"In any case, now that you’ve joined the study group, work hard. Also, stop being so subservient. Everyone in the group is equal. From now on, don’t be afraid to talk with the other students. If there’s something you don’t know, ask someone—especially Leon. He’s the fastest learner in the group, and he’s very kind."

"Yes, Lord Han Ning!"

Since the group’s current studies hadn’t yet reached the point where they could experiment directly on the Gray Demon Whale, everyone returned to their seats to continue the lesson after their initial curiosity wore off.

Generally speaking, the current curriculum was divided into two main parts.

The knowledge of Alatak and Witch Spirit Race Spiritual Arrays.

Knowledge related to the Alatak constituted 60% of the material, with the remaining portion dedicated to the Spiritual Arrays of the Witch Spirit Race.

What they were learning now couldn’t yet be called an Array—it was a Spiritual Energy Circuit.

Spiritual Energy Circuits with different functions combine to form a relatively complete "Array."

Constructing a Spiritual Array is, to a certain extent, similar to constructing a Spiritual Power model.

Beast Masters who had studied Meditation Techniques, particularly High-Level Meditation Techniques, found it relatively easy to get started with Spiritual Energy Circuits.

The topic for today was a Basic Level Spiritual Array called the "Elementary Dark Energy Diversion Array."

Its effect was simple: when a certain amount of Dark Energy entered the intake port, the Array would automatically identify its type and intensity. If the intensity reached a specific threshold, the excess Energy was transferred to other circuits to balance the load.

There were countless such Arrays in the complete Gray Demon Whale Spiritual Array System. Although simple and inconspicuous, they played a crucial role.

Similarly, the Witch Spirit Race had an Array with the same function, which everyone would also have to study in the evening.

Afterward, they also had to hold a seminar to analyze the differences between the two races’ Spiritual Arrays and see if they could be optimized.

During this process, Sage and Hom would generally observe while the students actively discussed the topic. Finally, the two teachers would provide a summary and decide whether to adopt any of the suggestions.

Hom clapped her hands, her Spiritual Power spreading out. "Let’s continue class."

...

After the day’s lessons ended, Han Ning took the Gray Demon Whale into the Cosmic Light Tower, entering the third level behind the Gate of Darkness.

Earlier, he had spent a certain amount of Energy Points to unlock the function that allowed him to add points to creatures other than his Contracted Soul Beasts.

In the vast Element Hall, Han Ning moved the Gray Demon Whale beneath a massive Crystal Stone, patted its smooth head, and muttered, "Alright, little one. Now let’s see just how much Energy you can eat."

"Woooah?!"

The little Gray Demon Whale blinked, an excited expression appearing on its adorably naive face.

Although it didn’t know what the creature before it was saying, it could smell a rich aura of Darkness!

’It’s the smell of a hearty meal!’

"Go ahead, absorb all the Spiritual Energy you want from here."

With that said, Han Ning let the Gray Demon Whale freely absorb the Dark Spiritual Energy of the Cosmic Light Tower.
