Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Shengyuan was always open-minded and asked directly, "Have we met somewhere before?"

The boy's face suddenly stiffened, then as if some force had been released, his shoulders slumped slightly. "My name is Lin Zixu, and I used to be your playmate."

Upon hearing Lin Zixu's answer, Chu Shengyuan's eyes widened, and he rummaged through his memories to recall the boy.

"No, you used to be quite thin, but now you're so strong, you've changed so much, I didn't even recognize you."

Lin Zixu smiled, his eyebrows curving upwards. Clearly, the fact that Chu Shengyuan still remembered him made him seem much more cheerful.

"We do change quite quickly with age, but you, young master, haven't changed much and still look the same as before."

Recognizing that this was his childhood playmate, Chu Shengyuan carefully examined him. "You've reached the upper level of the mortal realm. I reckon you'll be breaking through soon."

In this county town, a twelve-year-old who has already broken through to the Other Rank is already a child prodigy and a Contract Master with unlimited potential for the future.

At this moment, Chu Shengyuan's gaze fell on Lin Zixu, whose attire was clearly different from that of a Chu family servant. "You shouldn't be a Chu family servant now, right?"

Lin Zixu nodded cautiously. "I'm currently studying at the academy and will be taking the graduation exam this year. If I pass, I might become a civil servant in Qixia Town."

"Is your father also on duty in Qixia Town?"

"Yes, my father is now in charge of the guards of Qixia Town."

……

Amidst their casual conversation and Chu Shengyu's drowsy state, the three of them finally arrived at the grassland.

In Chu Shengyuan's eyes, most of the people working here were unfamiliar faces, especially the guards who had never seen Chu Shengyuan before.

However, they recognized the little boy Chu Shengyuan was holding in his arms—Chu Shengyu. In addition, Lin Zixu presented a token containing a special aura, so the guards easily let them pass.

The meadow was still divided into different grids. The three of them walked on the road at the edge of the grid, which was also a high wall separating the different grids.

Standing on the road and looking into the grid, you get a bird's-eye view, which gives you a clear view of the movements of the various source beasts within.

Compared to three years ago when this grassland was first established, the types and numbers of source beasts here have increased many times over.

For example, the two evolutionary forms of the "Green Leaf Giant Insect," the "Giant Woodworm" and the "Spirit Limb Giant Insect," have been increasingly cultivated in recent years.

The evolved forms of the "leaf-winged insect," namely the "flying-winged silkworm," the "mysterious-leafed spirit-winged insect," and the original green-leafed insect, all live together in a single grid.

Although they differ greatly in appearance, size, and skills, these source beasts are all on the same evolutionary lineage, originating from that tiny "Green Leaf Insect".

Upon arriving here, Chu Shengyu perked up due to the change in his surroundings. He even excitedly pointed at the "Mysterious Leaf Spirit Winged Insect" fluttering its wings in the grid and shouted excitedly:

"Insects, insects."

Still a carefree child, Chu Shengyuan laughed heartily, "Shall we take a closer look at that biggest bug?"

"it is good."

The largest insect Chu Shengyuan mentioned was one of the "Giant Spirit Limb Insects," which was nearly three meters long and had transparent, illusory limbs growing beneath its body.

The spirit limbs supporting its body vary in appearance; some resemble human feet, while others resemble the limbs of other source beasts. Moreover, these spirit limbs not only support the body, but some also grow out of the rest of its body like tentacles.

It seems that the appearance of these "spiritual limbs" can be manipulated according to the will of the "spiritual limb giant insect".

However, this "giant worm with spirit limbs" is not exactly beautiful. Its three-meter-long body is somewhat bloated and fat, making it look like it has difficulty moving.

Furthermore, its eyes were unexpectedly small, and its mouth was a terrifying circle with a ring of tough, curved fangs growing around it.

If it weren't for the fact that these source beasts actually have decent combat abilities, and given their appearance doesn't conform to typical human aesthetics, few people would choose to contract with them or evolve into this form.

This "giant insect with spirit limbs," which was Chu Shengyuan's target, was the largest in size and had the highest realm. It was a superior alien-level beast and was estimated to be accumulating power to break through and become a spirit-level source beast.

Chu Shengyuan, as if playing a trick, threw some glowing pebbles at it, teasing the "giant worm with spirit limbs" and causing it to react in a series of ways.

However, this "spirit limb giant insect" seemed to have sensed the spirit-level aura on Chu Shengyuan's body and did not dare to truly unleash its skills to resist Chu Shengyuan.

The various "reactions" of the "Giant Spirit Limb Insect" were quite novel to Chu Shengyu. No one had ever taken him flying in the air before, and had ever teased the source beast like this for him.

After teasing it for a while, seeing that Chu Shengyu was also getting a little bored, Chu Shengyuan threw a bright yellow ore into the mouth of the "Giant Spirit Limb Insect".

"Crystal Topaz"

It has the effect of stimulating the innate talents and physical potential of the source beast, helping mortal and other-tier source beasts to break through.

It seemed that the "Giant Spirit Limb Insect" had stayed in the different level long enough, so as soon as the "Crystal Topaz" was swallowed, small vortices caused by the surge of spiritual energy began to appear around it.

Immediately afterwards, a creaking sound rang out continuously inside the "Giant Spirit Limb Insect".

It seemed as if something was supporting its body from within, and its already enormous size continued to spread and grow.

Four meters, five meters, and up to seven meters.

Its body has more than doubled in size. This all-around increase in size makes it look like a small mountain no matter where it is. It makes people wonder if it can crush most source beasts just by the difference in size.

However, this size was nothing in Chu Shengyuan's eyes. After all, his two snakes were both behemoths over fifty meters long, and this "spirit limb giant insect" was just a small carambhava in front of them.
