Eternal Beast Taming Family

The strange, reconstituted source beast swung its cleaver, releasing a hazy, gray aura that struck the earth, instantly leaving deep ravines.

The already scarred land appeared even more desolate and ruined after such destruction.

These source beasts relentlessly pursued the nearest contract master, their emanating smoke and the gray, decaying blade energy continuously surging towards the contract master and their source beasts.

In just a short while, contract masters and source beasts disappeared one after another from the assessment site.

On the morning of the second day, the number of test takers continued to decrease sharply.

High above in the vast sky, the examiners responsible for monitoring the candidates watched the candidates gradually disappear, their expressions indifferent, showing little emotional fluctuation.

They were all old guys who had lived for a very long time, and had experienced countless changes over the years. Some of them were at the Domain Rank, not the kind of low-rank Domain Rank like the Huo family patriarch who could be easily fooled.

Many people's cultivation levels are still above the Domain Rank, that distant Evolution Rank...

The reason they gathered here was because of the special nature of this assessment, and because there were quite a few princes and nobles among them. For the safety of these princes and nobles, they had to take extra care of them.

Suddenly someone spoke up, "That small round ball next to the young master of the Ye family looks extraordinary. Does anyone know what kind of source beast it is?"

After he spoke, an elderly man with white hair and beard bowed to him, saying, "Great Master, I do have some knowledge of these source beasts."

This source beast should be called the Devouring Beast. Its attribute is devouring. It has a terrifyingly large stomach that can devour most of the matter it sees and turn it into nutrients for its growth.

However, this kind of source beast can only be upgraded to the Domain Rank at present. I don't know why the Ye family would contract such a source beast for their young master. Moreover, at this age, the young master's cultivation level is really quite low.

For other aristocratic families, a source beast that can grow to the Domain level is something that is extremely rare and hard to come by, but for the young master of the Ye family's direct line, it is far from enough.

People like them are groomed to become kings and nobles, and even if they were to form a contract, they would not contract with a source beast whose aptitude is lower than that of a rank-evolving beast.

Could it be a sordid family affair? Or has the Ye family found a suitable path for the Devouring Beast to evolve?

The great master who asked the first question simply hummed in response, clearly indicating that he couldn't say anything about the internal affairs of noble families.

As silence fell over the space once more, another woman, whose body was surrounded by condensing and dispersing ethereal energy, spoke softly.

"I'm more interested in the child accompanying the young master of the Ye family. Could you esteemed teachers perhaps enlighten me about the butterfly beside him?"

The woman spoke softly, giving the impression of a very gentle person, but none of the people present dared to underestimate her.

To be able to reach the position of a wise teacher as a woman, and to sit on equal footing with them, one can imagine how terrifying her methods must be.

Faced with her question, the wise teachers looked back into the assessment realm and began to discuss it uncertainly.

"This source beast bears some resemblance to the Flower Blade Hidden Butterfly, or perhaps it is a close relative?"

"No, no, this type of medicinal beast is so obvious. I think it has some connection with the Flower Scale Bright Butterfly. Being a medicinal beast, it's more likely to be related."

A faint smile appeared on the woman's lips as she extended her palm, a wisp of pink mist emanating from it.

"I grasped a wisp of mist and discovered that the pink fragrance transformed into smoke actually has the effect of nourishing and enhancing the spirit."

Spiritual objects that can be nurtured to enhance mental strength are hard to find. The most common ones on the market have a calming effect, while spiritual objects that can increase mental strength are very difficult to find on the market, let alone source beasts that have the ability to directly increase mental strength.

If one of them appears, it can be used to enlighten one's own child, and even allow the child to contract two source beasts at the same time as soon as he or she awakens his or her spirit.

"But these source beasts that involve the spirit aren't only found in Medicine King Valley. How could they appear in such a young boy?"

"There has been no news from Medicine King Valley for many years. Perhaps this source beast was obtained by chance."

"It's still too weak right now. It looks like a Spirit-rank seed. If it had a complete path to advance to the Domain-rank, its potential would be..."

The great master who had spoken first conjured a shimmering golden light in his hand, as if he had already discovered something in just a short while. Then he spoke softly...

"This young man is quite good. If any of you have a vacancy, you may take him as your disciple."

Even as the Thousand Spirits Academy, they can only accept a limited number of disciples, since each of their disciples will be fully supported by the academy, which is a very expensive resource consumption.

Therefore, these esteemed teachers are extremely cautious when selecting candidates.

Although it was the Great Master who spoke, the young man's origins were unknown, and his performance so far was not particularly impressive, so they inevitably hesitated.

The only woman among the wise teachers smiled gently and said, "Great wise teacher, I am willing to accept him as my disciple."

The Great Master looked up at the woman, nodded slightly, and seemed to have a smile in his eyes. "Good, you are blessed."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and said no more.

Upon hearing the great master's evaluation, the other masters who still had student slots regretted their decision. To receive such praise from the great master meant that this student was bound to have an extraordinary future.

But now that the Great Master has closed his eyes, they dare not say anything to disturb him.

The female sage picked up a feather that had condensed and then dissipated beside her, and with a gentle blow, the feather drifted down across infinite space.

Inside the assessment dungeon, Chu Shengfan and Ye Chunheng were surrounded by a huge transparent shield, which completely concealed their auras.

This shield originated from Ye Chunheng's "Devouring Beast," so the two of them can now calmly observe the battlefield not far away and even offer their opinions.

However, the inside of the enclosure was not entirely quiet. The round "Devouring Beast" followed "Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit" like a lapdog, sniffing the fragrance emanating from her body.

Ye Chunheng felt ashamed watching this scene. If it weren't for maintaining the transparent cover, he would have already taken back the "Devouring Beast".

Out of respect for its protection, Chu Shengfan had the "Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit" release a small amount of floral fragrance to satisfy the "Devouring Beast".

"Huh?" Chu Shengfan looked at the glowing feather that had appeared in front of him without him noticing, gently pinched it in his hand, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Ye Chunheng was somewhat puzzled. "What did you say?"

Before Chu Shengfan could even show the feather in his hand to Ye Chunheng, it slowly transformed into spiritual energy and dissipated in his palm.
