Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 24 Beast Master

"To get food from everyone, you need to be popular, be good at getting along with everyone, have a thick skin, and not be picky about food. You have to eat whatever people give you, and then bow deeply in gratitude. To put it bluntly, it's begging."

"The same principle applies to learning various arts. In addition, you must be exceptional yourself, be a worthy candidate for learning various arts, be able to adapt to the different styles of martial arts, and even make a name for yourself in them."

"This is called 'If the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain!'"

Han Yun shrugged and said with a wry smile, "There's nothing I can do about it. After all, you don't have any connections. People are forced to do things their way. Whether you do well or poorly determines the rest of your life!"

"Regardless of the quality of the tradition, what matters is what you put into your stomach. I just want to improve, and I firmly believe that I am the right person for this!"

Upon hearing Han Yun's words, Lao Guo couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "You see things very clearly!"

He couldn't help but think back to when he first came to Kyoto, when things were incredibly difficult. It was only after he formally became an apprentice and learned his craft that things went smoothly for him, and he only met kind people wherever he went.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was both innocent and mature, Vice Class Master Yu realized that if he had previously simply admired Han Yun, was optimistic about his potential, and was willing to invest in him to build a good relationship, then he might have been thinking about how Han Yun's potential was simply a matter of personal appreciation and investment.

At that moment, he was genuinely moved. To have such experience and clear understanding at such a young age was truly remarkable!
Like gold that has survived the test of time and many changes, it is like gold that has been sifted out by the waves.

Young people today often lack common sense. They don't know their own capabilities, yet they insist on taking risks, only learning to compromise and let go of their pride and ego after suffering setbacks.

Therefore, the first lesson in learning crosstalk is to learn to let go of pride, not to be pretentious, and not to be arrogant.

This is a rule passed down through generations. We must never forget our roots. Crosstalk is about entertaining people, not expecting the audience to fawn over you. We must always maintain a humble attitude and understand our place.

This is also called mindset!
When a master takes on a disciple, he prioritizes character and temperament, followed by aptitude, because the transmission of knowledge and skills must be continuous and passed down.

Just like the aristocratic families of ancient times, such as the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families of the Tang Dynasty, they prioritized stability above all else, otherwise one person could drag the entire family down with them.

The same applies to sects of extraordinary individuals. A good successor can make the sect prosper, while a bad successor can plunge the sect into danger or even cause its lineage to be completely cut off.

This is the older generation's obsession!
Of course, this is also the obsession of the older generation in modern times. After all, inheritance is not just about the inheritance of extraordinary people. Many cultural heritages with Chinese characteristics are simply not something that anyone is willing to learn, inherit, let alone carry forward.

Therefore, most of the older generation have become more relaxed about it and don't care whether the young people follow the rules set by their ancestors or not; as long as the tradition is passed down, that's enough.

Each generation has its own way of living. Even if it leads to a breakdown of social order, at least it has been passed down, hasn't it?

Although the patriarch's coffin lid might be about to burst open and beat up these traitors.

Old Guo seemed to understand what Vice Master Yu meant, and immediately shook his head at him, saying, "Alright, this kid is single-mindedly pursuing the path of the Hundred Arts, he's too ambitious, you can't handle him."

Vice Master Yu immediately sighed, "I regret not being my disciple!"

"Fine, fine, since you insist on learning, I won't stop you."

Vice Master Yu shook his head and laughed, "But let me make this clear from the start: for extraordinary people, life cultivation is fundamental. If you neglect your cultivation of Qi, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Han Yun quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will definitely manage my time properly and will not delay my studies."

With the inner space available, he has time to cultivate as many techniques as he wants. Han Yun only regrets that he doesn't have enough techniques.

Master Guo then said, "Old Yu, I think this kid is quite clever; he might really give you a surprise." "I hope so."

Vice Master Yu stood up: "I'll call my junior brother. With my guarantee, there shouldn't be any problem. It's just a beastly trick."

Before long, Vice Master Yu returned.

"It's done!"

Before leaving Deyun Society, Han Yun successfully obtained the techniques for mimicking the sounds of various beasts and mastering the art of beastmanship. However, he was so eager to exploit one particular beast that he felt a little embarrassed.

Looks like I'm still too thin-skinned, I need to keep practicing!

------

Over the next period of time, Han Yun began to organize what he had learned: the Silent Technique, the Northern Shaolin Cotton Palm, the Thief's Inheritance, and the newly acquired Breathing Technique, the Sound Imitation of a Hundred Beasts, and the Beast Master.

Unbeknownst to him, Han Yun had already mastered six techniques, including lightness skill, palm techniques, sound skills, beast control, mechanical skills, and a method for tempering the foundation of life.

Among them, the skills of the Beast Master are the most difficult to master.

He can rely on his strong life force to avoid backlash. As long as he cultivates according to the instructions, it is nothing more than a slow and painstaking process.

Next, all you need to do is slowly solidify your somewhat weak innate Qi, temper your life force, and transform cotton into refined steel to achieve a qualitative change.

The key to mimicking the sounds of animals lies in vocal techniques. Once you have enough aptitude and have honed your throat bones and vocal cord muscles, you're halfway to success.

When you first learn to call out, it does sound a bit unpleasant, like a crow's call, quite noisy and annoying. But if you calm down and think about it, you can discover the subtlety in it, and it's not that difficult.

However, most bird calls are harmless, except for the phoenix's cry, which can not only pierce through clouds and split rocks, but also harm people's souls. The principle is the same, so the predecessors who compiled this collection of animal sounds must have also drawn on some of the methods of exhaling.

They might imitate a lion's roar, a tiger's howl, a dragon's cry, or an elephant's moo, primarily using sound waves to physically injure people, with secondary effects on the soul.

This somewhat compensates for the fact that the initial burst of breath has relatively low damage output.

But regarding the methods of the Beast Master, Han Yun could only say one thing: This is something only humans could create.

The very first sentence of the introduction to the technique left me completely bewildered: "To learn this method, one must have perseverance and cultivate diligently for five years, perhaps then one can begin to understand it..."

Well, so you might be able to get started, but whether you can actually get started is still uncertain. Han Yun wanted to ask, how did Lao Meng manage to persevere in learning this technique back then?
The principle behind the Beast Master's methods is quite simple: it only requires physical contact with the target creature, releasing special Qi to establish a connection, and then communicating with the animal through one's own Qi to control it.

The difficulty of communicating with animals is directly proportional to their intelligence, to the point that primates cannot be communicated with at all; the effort required for communication is inversely proportional to their intelligence.

In other words, the more intelligent an animal is, the easier it is to communicate with it, but if you want it to obey you, you need to invest more of your innate Qi to control it.

Just like an emperor who doesn't starve his soldiers, if you want someone to do something, you have to provide them with enough food and supplies first.
