Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code

Qin Ming and Shen Yanqing stood outside the entrance, exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but smile.

"What do you think he'll see?" Shen Yanqing rarely spoke up, his tone carrying a hint of mischief.

"If Zeng Fu'an could have maintained his initial naivety (stupidity) and focused entirely on fantasy blockbusters, he might have been able to get through it by taking shortcuts, but now..." Qin Ming paused.

"Will he regret it after he comes out?" Shen Yanqing asked rhetorically, but she already had the answer in her heart.

Qin Ming nodded with a sigh, "There's a high chance you'll regret it. However, while the process is painful, the rewards will be substantial. 'Illusion Realm No. 3' is a compulsory course for the academy to temper one's will, and its auxiliary effect on cultivation is outstanding."

"He... was bound to go through this sooner or later, so he might as well get over it sooner."

Shen Yanqing: "That makes sense."

After exchanging a few words with laughter, the two stepped into the entrance where light and shadow flowed.

Unlike the "fantasy blockbuster" that Zeng Fu'an imagined, they knew they were about to face a test that directly exposed their inner weaknesses and projected and amplified their own distracting thoughts.

And at this moment, within the illusion—

Zeng Fu'an felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him changed instantly!

The ethereal, mythical beast-filled fantasy blockbuster he had imagined did not materialize. Instead, he was met with a hazy, seemingly boundless space shrouded in mist.

The air was filled with unsettling whispers, as if countless voices were whispering in his ear, expressing his deepest worries, fears, and insecurities.

"When will I encounter my next spirit beast, and what will its potential be?"

"If my hometown is in danger again, will I really be able to protect it?"

"Qin Ming and Shen Yanqing are improving so quickly, will I be left far behind?"

"Am I... actually not that talented?"

Thoughts he usually didn't want to think about deeply or were overshadowed by his passion were now magnified infinitely, crashing against his mind like a tidal wave.

Vivid hallucinations began to appear before his eyes: the worried faces of his parents, the scene of Wowa's steed lying injured in front of a powerful enemy, and the figures of Qin Ming and Shen Yanqing walking further and further away...

"No...that's not how it is! What happened to the promised fantasy blockbuster?!"

Zeng Fu'an clutched his head, feeling as if his brain was about to explode. His previous excitement and anticipation had long been replaced by panic and discomfort.

He finally understood why the student at the door looked so "painful"!

This is no surprise, it's a torture!

He tried to concentrate and dispel the illusions by using his bond with the Wowa Steed, but in this eerie space, the Wowa Steed was also restless, his connection with the spirit beast weakened, and he had nothing to rely on.

"Let me out! I don't want to experience this anymore! The forum is all a scam!" Zeng Fu'an was on the verge of tears, wandering aimlessly in the fog like a headless fly, unable to find a way out.

……

Qin Ming's situation was a completely different story. This wasn't his first time entering, but even on his first visit, he wasn't actually that badly embarrassed.

As he watched the video for the second time, he carefully calmed the golden pearl in his mind. Fortunately, Qin Ming's control over it had gradually become more proficient through repeated use.

Of course, the power of this golden bead also seemed to be of a higher level. Since the power of the illusion did not interfere with or affect Qin Ming's mental sea, it seemed to look down on the other party and was too lazy to react.

Qin Ming gradually calmed down and silently recited the thousand detailed explanations and extensions of pi and the spirit-gathering formation in his mind, maintaining a clear and tranquil state of mind.

He walked with a clear mind past the chaotic crowd of demons, trying to see the magic array behind this mysterious illusion.

He already has enough videos stored on his cloud drive, and everyone's performances are nothing new these days. There are videos of people hugging tree branches and calling for their fathers, crawling in a dark and twisted way, talking to the grass, or doing parkour and throwing their clothes around... These naturally don't attract his attention.

Or perhaps the source of all this power is even more mysterious and alluring. If one day, with his strength, he could casually create such an illusion, then... hehehe~

Well, it means that we are safer when traveling.

Qin Ming steadied himself, widened his eyes, and pricked up his ears, searching intently.

A voice drifted from mid-air, "Qin Ming, wait for me!"

Qin Ming: ? There's a scene targeting him in the illusion?

"Qin Ming, I'm going to catch up with you!"

Qin Ming: ! That voice... it's a man's!

Okay, although the voice was a bit distorted, it was most likely his friend Zeng Fu'an's. Before he suspected that he had been infected, Qin Ming tried his best to recognize it.

He was speechless and amused at the same time. He really didn't know what Zeng Fu'an was thinking, but some opportunities don't come often, and if you miss them, you may never have another chance.

In this deliberately chosen deserted place, Qin Ming stared wide-eyed, but he couldn't sense any array patterns or find any inspiration. So this place wasn't suitable for him, and he should find another place.

Qin Ming followed the sound, and the sound in the air became clearer and clearer.

At the edge of a twisting, spinning area, Qin Ming saw a person on horseback chasing a giant carrot that was suspended in mid-air, constantly bouncing and emitting an alluring glow!

"Catch it! If we catch it, we can evolve! Our strength will increase dramatically, and we'll finally be able to hold our heads high in our dorm group!"

Although Qin Ming was somewhat hesitant to recognize the man and horse due to their erratic behavior, he still managed to identify them by their dialogue.

This carrot is really shiny! This obsession is so pure! Comparing what he had seen and heard along the way, Qin Ming accepted the illusion that originated from Zeng Fu'an.

As he looked at it, his vision blurred, and he seemed to see countless mysterious fine lines around the carrot.

When Qin Ming suddenly came to his senses and tried to take a closer look, the thin lines had vanished without a trace, as if it had just been an illusion.

"No... I must have seen something just now!" Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat, confirming that it was definitely not an illusion.

Although he thought Zeng Fu'an's actions were foolish, he gritted his teeth and joined in—in order to get a closer look at the "carrot".

He forcibly blocked Zeng Fu'an's "exciting plot summary" and devoted all his attention to observation.

Finally, Qin Ming found those invisible and intangible energy lines again.

He suddenly realized that the more illusions a place was, the more obvious the energy flow of the illusion was, just like the ripples that spread when a stone is thrown into a calm lake, which in turn created a window for observation.

Zeng Fu'an, well done! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!

A glint flashed in Qin Ming's eyes. He cautiously activated the power of the golden bead to protect his mind and pushed his perception to its limit, carefully "reading" the direction, frequency, and composition of the energy.

He was like a calm surgeon, dissecting a grand illusion.

The seemingly chaotic and disorderly illusions gradually revealed a certain regular energy flow pattern in his eyes.

Blurry array patterns slowly emerged in his mind.

"I see... Using obsession as a guide and emotions as energy, a cycle of illusion and reality is constructed... Brilliant!"

Qin Ming muttered to himself, immersed in exploring the essence of the illusion. He subconsciously stretched out his finger and traced the trajectory of energy in the void.

Time passed slowly, but Qin Ming was completely unaware of it. Until the light of the "carrot" illusion dimmed a little.

"Keda, could you please help Brother Zeng and Xiao Ma restore their lights? This carrot isn't working! This won't do!"

"Quack, wrapped up on the duck's body~"
