Putting down the not-so-thick book of world history for children, Lin Zhongtian casually cut a silver crack and took out a book on the most basic beast taming skills.
After reading it carefully, Lin Zhongtian discovered that the beast taming technique in this beast taming technique was a very ingenious soul secret technique, and the attached cultivation technique was developed from the internal energy and mental methods of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
Although the practice is relatively slow, the main purpose is to be safe, stable and free from mind demons.
Judging from the small, other beast taming techniques in this world should have the same tone.
Through the effectiveness of these skills, Lin Zhongtian saw the painstaking efforts of the ancestors of this world.
In order to cope with the crazy evolution brought about by the gray fog, they racked their brains and came up with a response.
Although Lin Zhongtian did not quite agree with their decision to abandon physical evolution and focus on soul cultivation, he also expressed his appreciation.
Others hoard food, I hoard guns, and other people’s homes are my granaries.
It is indeed a good idea to control those madly evolving birds and beasts to make up for the slow pace of human evolution.
Sure enough, no matter which world it is, wisdom will always be mankind’s most powerful weapon!
Lin Zhongtian tore open a silver crack, put the beast taming technique back to its original place, then took out another book from the bookshelf in front of him and began to read it with relish.
Suddenly, Lin Zhongtian's movement of flipping through the book froze, and his gaze on the pages gradually became strange.
According to the records in this book, there are now five giant cities in China, located in the southeast, northwest, northwest and center of China respectively. In addition, there are thirteen medium-sized cities and countless small cities.
Each of the five giant cities has at least one eighth-rank beastmaster in charge.
Among them, the giant city in the center is called Shendu, and the one who rules here is one of the only two ninth-level beastmasters in the land of Shenzhou.
Because he led the creation of the art of taming beasts and the development of science and technology in China, later generations respectfully called him the Wushuang Laozu, meaning unparalleled in the country.
To be honest, when Lin Zhongtian saw this, he didn't react at all.
But the title of another ninth-rank beastmaster made Lin Zhongtian feel a little overwhelmed.
This ninth-rank beastmaster is based in the giant city of Taiji City in the eastern coastal area. Later generations respectfully call him the Taiji Patriarch, or the True Man Sanfeng...
…What the hell?
Is Zhang Sanfeng a ninth-rank beastmaster?
What about the other three mega-cities?
Lin Zhongtian continued to read with some expectation and a strange expression on his face.
Sure enough, the rulers of the other three giant cities are also familiar names.
The huge city located in the northern part of Shenzhou is called Jiuyang City. The lord in charge is an eighth-rank beastmaster, known as the True Man Jiuyang or the Ancestor Wuji.
The huge city located in the southern part of Shenzhou is called Jiujian City. The person in charge is also an eighth-level beastmaster, but compared to the first three high-level beastmasters, this one is a rising star, so his real name is circulated, his name is Feng Qingyang, and people call him Ancestor Qingyang.
As for the eighth-rank beastmaster who rules the giant city in western Shenzhou, Jiuyin City, he is the youngest of the five ancestors. His name is Dongfang Bubai, also known as the Sunflower Patriarch or Jiuyin Zhenren.
Seeing this, Lin Zhongtian finally couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Wuji, Feng Qingyang, Dongfang Bubai...
In the five huge cities, except for the unknown unparalleled ancestor in the central city, everyone is an acquaintance.
Then the identity of this unparalleled ancestor is naturally self-evident—
He must be the time traveler who brought the gray fog wave to this world three hundred years ago!
"If this guy is still alive, he should be over 300 years old now, right?"
A look of interest appeared on Lin Zhongtian's face.
He can transform the world beyond all recognition and become the strongest person in that world.
This unparalleled ancestor is indeed a character!
Although Lin Zhongtian had seen many fellow villagers who were in trouble in other worlds, this was the first time he had seen a traverser who had climbed to the top of the world.
“So, this world is actually a combination of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.”
"Three hundred years ago was the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, which is when The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber took place..."
Lin Zhongtian raised his lips: "Interesting!"
"Once we find the traveler who came to this city, we'll go meet him!"
Lin Zhongtian made up his mind, stuffed the book in his hand back into the bookshelf, and disappeared instantly as if teleporting.
…
…
"I declare that the winner of the first half of the Lingxi Cup team semi-finals is Class 1, Grade 3!"
As the passionate words came from the commentary booth, deafening applause and cheers suddenly came from the surrounding audience seats.
The handsome young man with a buzz cut smiled, put his arm around Xia Yunlong's shoulders, and sighed pretentiously, "Alas, it's too easy. We haven't even put in any effort yet, and the five people on the opposite side have already fallen... I said this Lingxi Cup doesn't have much gold content!"
Xia Yunlong glanced at him and said calmly: "Ren Chuan, don't be too proud, the next game is the key."
Ren Chuan's smile faded and he nodded, "Brother Yunlong is right. The five people in Class 7 all use their own pets, and each one is at least the offspring of a sixth-rank beast king..."
Xia Yunlong said softly: "So you're not going to pull your dark cloud out to show it off?"
Ren Chuan curled his lips and replied in a low voice: "Let's see the situation first. If it doesn't work, I can only use my strength to bully the weak... Don't talk about me, what about you? When will you take out your fourth-level psychedelic butterfly? With it, the two of us brothers can defeat the five opponents!"
Xia Yunlong maintained a calm expression at first, but when he heard these words, he suddenly couldn't hold it anymore.
"Can you please not mention this?" Xia Yunlong said with a dark face.
"Why?" Ren Chuan was surprised. "To cultivate a first-level caterpillar into a fourth-level psychedelic butterfly is a qualification that others can't envy. What's more, you have cultivated two, one third-level and one fourth-level."
"With this kind of qualifications, even if you don't take the college entrance examination, you can still be specially recruited into Qingyun University's pet breeding major."
"That's the flagship major of our Qingyun City's No. 1 University!"
"As long as you can pass the exam, you won't have to worry about your future job or employment..."
Ren Chuan was talking with great excitement, but he didn't notice that Xia Yunlong's face was getting darker and darker.
Seeing that Ren Chuan was about to continue talking, Xia Yunlong sighed and stopped him, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's first think about how to deal with the five rich second-generations in Class 7. If you plan to let Wu Yun appear, tell me earlier so that we can practice cooperation first."
"no problem!"
Ren Chuan put his arm around Xia Yunlong's shoulders with a confident smile on his face.
…
Because beastmasters need to train their pets, every student at Qingyun City Experimental Middle School has his or her own single dormitory, so that students can spend every day with their pets and develop a tacit understanding and close relationship between them.
Because of this, the school's accommodation area is very large, almost two-fifths of the entire campus.
No matter how large the pet contracted by the student is, the school can provide special dormitories with enough space.
However, under normal circumstances, dormitories with ceiling heights of more than ten meters are not used.
Because in this world, the size of pets is often proportional to their strength and realm, and most of the students at Qingyun Experimental Middle School, even the third-year students who are about to take the college entrance examination, are only third-level beastmasters, and the pets they contract are also third-level pets.
With the strength of the third level, the body size will naturally not be too big. If it can be about three to five meters tall, it is already considered the peak of the third level.
Of course, Xia Yunlong didn't care about this, because the pets he contracted were two psychedelic butterflies that were more inclined to assist and control...
Sitting on the edge of the bed in the single dormitory, Xia Yunlong couldn't help but sigh softly as he looked at the two psychedelic butterflies flapping their wings and dancing in the room, with colorful lights emanating from their flight paths.
In this world, a Beastmaster at the first level can contract one pet, and with each subsequent level, he can contract one more pet.
Even if one becomes a ninth-rank beastmaster, one can only contract nine pet beasts.
Because of this, every beastmaster will be very cautious when contracting a pet and will not easily waste the contract qualifications.
Especially for beastmasters with poor family conditions, they cannot afford the rare treasures to replenish the soul, so they dare not give up their pets after contracting them. Although those beastmasters with wealthy families can afford elixirs, they generally will not easily give up their contracted pets.
After all, damage to the soul is not something that can be repaired so easily.
Whenever he thought of this, Xia Yunlong couldn't help feeling depressed.
It was all because he read too many beast taming novels in his previous life. When he entered high school at the age of fifteen and his soul was strong enough for him to contract a pet for the first time, he chose the least promising first-level caterpillar without hesitation, hoping to train it to transform into a dragon.
For this reason, Xia Yunlong was even willing to become mediocre and remained unknown for a whole school year.
During this period, Xia Yunlong lived frugally and saved all his resources for the little caterpillar. He even refused all social activities in order to raise it. His only friend was his deskmate and academic master Ren Chuan.
Hard work pays off.
Finally, at the end of the first school year, his little caterpillar spun silk and made a cocoon!
Xia Yunlong carefully took care of it for two weeks, and finally watched a third-level psychedelic butterfly emerge from its cocoon...
As a first-level beastmaster, Xia Yunlong became famous in the school for cultivating a third-level psychedelic butterfly.
It only took him one short winter vacation to go from being an unknown person to a top talent.
Xia Yunlong's only friend Ren Chuan was also very happy about this and felt that he had not chosen the wrong person.
Those who are taciturn and persistent must have something amazing.
For a moment, everyone was shocked, excited, envious and jealous of Xia Yunlong's achievements.
Only Xia Yunlong himself was unhappy, and seemed dissatisfied with his own achievements.
So, after being promoted to a second-level beastmaster, Xia Yunlong did not give up and contracted another small green caterpillar.
This time he was more experienced and his training was more refined.
Finally, at the end of the second grade semester, the little caterpillar made a cocoon again.
And this time, what flew out was a fourth-level psychedelic butterfly...
