Top-level Warrior Apprentices gathered for a recruitment assessment by Wanshan University. A powerful Golden Lion unleashed its pressure, causing many students to falter. Ye Xuan unexpectedly collapsed, with a tutor attributing it to his bloodline being mixed with medicinal power and a lack of mental strength. Meanwhile, a mysterious panel appeared in Ye Xuan's mind.

Host: Ye Xuan Warrior Aptitude Level: Dark Iron Warrior Level: Top-level Warrior Apprentice Beast Tamer Aptitude Level: Mythic Beast Tamer Level: Low-level Beast Tamer Apprentice Tamed Beast: None (Can tame a maximum of two apprentice-level beasts)

As Ye Xuan focused on the strange panel that appeared in his mind, it transmitted a message to him. “This is my Attribute Panel?” “And... Mythic-level Beast Taming Aptitude? And a Beast Editor?” After reviewing his own attributes, Ye Xuan was momentarily taken aback. Then, a hint of doubt crept into his expression. For eighteen long years, he had been unable to awaken the beast-taming ability, an experience that had left him feeling rather dejected. But what was happening now? He had not only awakened the beast-taming ability but had also unlocked a Mythic-level Beast Tamer skill? However... What astonished Ye Xuan the most was another piece of information the panel conveyed. It stated that not only had he become a Beast Tamer, but he could also utilize the Beast Editor and various other resources to modify his own beasts. That peculiar panel was, in fact, the manifestation of the Beast Editor. According to the latest intelligence from the Beast Editor, provided he possessed sufficient materials, he could edit his beasts and elevate them to at least the Mythic level. Ye Xuan was unfamiliar with the exact standing of the Mythic level. To his current knowledge, on Planet Cerulean, in terms of ranking, Beast Tamers and their beasts were categorized only into Dark Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Challenger. As for any tiers that existed beyond these, he had absolutely no idea. “Beast Tamer!” Ye Xuan drew a deep breath. Following that, a smile began to form on his face... Indicating a noticeable uplift in his spirits. “I can already form a contract with two beasts at this moment?” An idea struck Ye Xuan. He once again directed his consciousness towards another section of the attribute panel. In this world, there existed approximately one Beast Tamer for every hundred Warriors. Yet, the majority of Beast Tamers could only establish a contract with a single beast during their Apprentice stage. “Two beasts... could this be one of the advantages accompanying a Mythic-level Beast Taming aptitude?” Ye Xuan’s eyes gleamed with excitement. Naturally, for a Beast Tamer, the greater the number of beasts they contracted, the stronger they would become. While contemplating these matters, Ye Xuan raised his head and addressed a middle-aged man standing beside him, “Sir, I would like to request a day off.” The middle-aged man’s name was Guo Ruo. He served as Ye Xuan’s teacher. He was the individual who had accompanied Ye Xuan out of the training grounds, alongside Chai Chang and another instructor. “Certainly.” Guo Ruo nodded and replied, “Do not place excessive pressure on yourself. After all, you are already a Top-level Warrior Apprentice.” “There are still two months remaining until the College Entrance Examination. It is not impossible for you to break through to the Dark Iron rank and gain admission to a reputable university by then.” “Yes, I am aware.” Ye Xuan nodded in agreement. Subsequently, he turned his head to face Chai Chang and stated, “You... honestly.” Ye Xuan had just withdrawn from Wanshan University’s assessment. As a direct consequence, Chai Chang also withdrew from the assessment along with him. “I suppose the school was concerned we might resort to cheating with temporary mental enhancement pills, so they remained silent before the assessment, not even disclosing the specific procedures.” Chai Chang rubbed the back of his head and remarked, “I had assumed Wanshan University’s main campus would be the primary recruitment site. It turns out it’s their branch campus.” “Since it’s their branch campus, it makes no difference whether I participate in the assessment or not.” “You know my capabilities. I am certain I can achieve the Dark Iron rank before the College Entrance Examination. At that point, attending Wanshan University’s branch campus or another institution will be inconsequential.” “Mm, I suppose that’s true.” Ye Xuan nodded his head, offering no further comment. He simply filed this encounter away in his memory. ... On his journey home, Lil Wan emerged from Ye Xuan’s pocket and inquired, “Ye Xuan, are you truly alright?” She sensed that Ye Xuan had been exhibiting somewhat peculiar behavior ever since he had fainted at school. “Of course.” Ye Xuan gently placed Xiao Wan into his palm and responded with a smile, “Not only am I fine, but this time, I’ve had an incredible stroke of luck and awakened the ability to tame beasts.” “The ability to tame beasts?” Lin Wan’s mouth fell open in surprise. “Yes,” Ye Xuan confirmed with a nod. “Let me tell you, the ability I’ve awakened is exceptionally powerful. I can form a contract with two beasts right now. “Once I establish a contract with you, you will be able to fight alongside me in the future. Aren’t you happy about that?” “Me?” Lil Wan appeared startled, then fell silent immediately. After a brief pause, she responded, “I cannot. We elves are all classified as one-star grade. It is impossible for us to evolve at any point in our lives. If I were to become your partner, I would only hold you back.” All beasts were categorized into distinct grades. Arranged from lowest to highest, these grades were one-star, two-stars, three-stars, four-stars, and five-stars.

The evolution of one-star beasts was an exceptionally rare occurrence, almost deemed impossible. Only beasts of two-star and above possessed the capability to advance to higher tiers. With a surge of confidence, Ye Xuan declared with a smile, "Rest assured. The purpose of Beast Tamers is precisely to facilitate beast evolution, transforming the impossible into the achievable. "Moreover, certain Beast Tamers are blessed with unique talents that can aid beasts in ascending their star ratings. Fortuitously, I fall into that category of genius." "But that doesn't imply..." Lil Wan attempted to interject. However, Ye Xuan raised his other hand, silencing Lil Wan's protest with his index finger. "Listen to me! You are destined to be my very first beast!" "Why did you cover my mouth? Fine, I understand now (∩?_?)⊃━☆" Lin Wan averted her gaze. ... Upon Ye Xuan's return home, neither his father, Ye Guotao, nor his mother, Su Yunmeng, were present. He gently placed Lil Wan on the table and, after a brief, silent pause, inquired, "Lil Wan, are you prepared?" "Mm-hmm," Lil Wan confirmed, fiddling with her clothes. "Then I shall commence." Ye Xuan uttered a few words before centering his thoughts and guiding his consciousness into his Spirit Ocean. Within this ethereal sea, he perceived two luminous particles, shining with a brilliant golden light akin to distant stars. These two golden particles were known as the Seed of Beasts. Simultaneously, they served as undeniable proof that a Beast Tamer had successfully awakened their beast-taming abilities. However, the majority of newly awakened Beast Tamers possessed only a single Seed of Beasts within their Spirit Ocean. This solitary Seed of Beasts signified a Beast Tamer's capacity to forge a contract with one Spirit Beast. After Ye Xuan communed with one of the two Seeds of Beasts using his consciousness, a peculiar sensation coursed through him. In the following instant, he directed this Seed of Beasts, guiding it out of his Spirit Ocean and towards Lil Wan. Pssiuu! A fleeting streak of light traversed the void. Lil Wan, standing before Ye Xuan, felt an abrupt chill. She then sensed an foreign entity entering her body. It felt as though this entity sought to usurp control of her mind. Yet, she offered no resistance. Instead, she immediately relinquished her mental defenses. In the subsequent moment, she perceived the establishment of an unusual, profound connection between herself and Ye Xuan. "Did it work?" Lil Wan inquired, her eyes fixed on Ye Xuan with anticipation. "Yes, it's complete!" Ye Xuan affirmed with a resolute nod. Concurrently, a new entry materialized on the attribute panel within his mind.
