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

Qin Ming, who has extensive scientific research experience, clasped his hands together, prayed devoutly, and pointed at the two beasts.

"You can't stare like that. Pretend you don't care, just glance at them out of the corner of your eye! Avoid direct eye contact!"

"Give the energy a relaxed feeling of 'we don't really care whether we succeed or not'!"

"Huh?" Huo Lin didn't understand, but he did as he was told. He awkwardly rolled his eyes and observed with the corner of his eye.

"Which hair did you use just now? Use a close relative!"

Tianze Sacred Deer looked down at its scattered fur, each strand containing the same source of energy, making it difficult to distinguish between "closeness" and "distance". It fell into a long silence.

"Aww!" After yet another failure, Huo Lin suddenly realized, "No wonder I couldn't succeed!"

Huo Lin extinguished his flames, his expression one of disappointment and frustration, and fixed his gaze on Tianze Sacred Deer, whose eyes were beginning to glaze over and whose deer-life temple was reeling from the shock.

Having successfully shifted the focus of the "reason for failure" away from himself, Qin Ming stood silently to the side, offering no comment.

Just now, unable to resist the two beasts' anticipation and their request to "quickly think of any spells you haven't recited yet," he was forced to repeat all the spells he could think of, from different angles, with different blessings, over and over again, feeling like a shaman performing a ritual.

Now I finally have a break, a chance to stop, catch my breath, and do some rational analysis.

Simply put, the core of the problem lies in the fact that the life energy of the sacred deer lacks a certain "resilience" or "spark" that enables it to reignite on the brink of destruction and be reborn.

However, the destructive power of the Fire Kirin is too pure, domineering, and leaves no room for compromise.

The two are like two extremes: either the life energy is completely crushed, or both perish and are annihilated together. They can never find that delicate balance point that sparks and transforms in the collision.

"Stop for a moment." Qin Ming rubbed his temples, interrupting the two beasts who were about to try "randomly burning hair to win by sheer quantity".

"Think back carefully, what were you thinking when you succeeded for the first time? Especially you, Huo Lin."

Qin Ming's intuition told him that the key to the problem might not lie in the external form, but in the internal "intention".

He didn't know much about the Heavenly Sacred Deer, but he could sense that the "fire" of the Fire Scale was different the first time it was successful.

Destruction, for other spirit beasts, requires countless trials to grasp even a trace of its true meaning. But in the eyes of the Fire Kirin, born in the Red Land Forbidden Zone, it is nothing more than commonplace.

He had witnessed flames engulfing everything, lava turning into scorched earth, and beasts howling and migrating—such scenes were deeply imprinted on the essence of his power.

But before today, all he saw was the end of the burning out, and he never really paid attention to whether there were other possibilities hidden beneath the ashes.

How can we preserve a shred of "humanity" and leave a glimmer of "life" amidst ruthless destruction?

For the Fire Scale, which is used to burning everything in its path, this is like a fierce tiger sniffing a rose – a truly difficult problem.

He is not a phoenix, reborn from destruction, and does not inherently understand the profound truth of the cycle of life and death.

His path has always been one of raging flames burning the heavens, forging ahead relentlessly... How could it be changed at will?

"Hey, the deer seems to understand!"

Having just suffered a major setback in the "hair kinship testing" round, Tianze Shenglu racked his brains and finally turned the tide!

He stopped worrying about which hair was "closer" and instead closed his eyes to reminisce about the past.

But this time, the originally pure, gentle, and healing aura of life has quietly changed. It is no longer so "perfect," but has become mixed with some impurities, rough yet profound.

"—It's a struggle."

Saint Deer opened his eyes, a flash of understanding in his clear gaze. He clearly recalled the complex psychological process he went through when he first succeeded, a mixture of fear of death, fear of losing face, feeling trapped in a black car, and the thought that "since I'm already here," and finally summarized it into two words.

This life force, now carrying "impurities" and no longer pure, seems to have become truly "vibrant" because it is mixed with real joys, sorrows, worries, and expectations, and has gained greater resilience and adaptability.

Qin Ming and Huo Lin had witnessed the changes in the Sacred Deer, so the problem now lay in...

Two pairs of eyes simultaneously focused on a certain red beast.

"Awooo, what are you looking at!"

Huo Lin seemed to have had its tail stepped on, its scales slightly bristling, and its golden eyes flashed with embarrassment and exasperation.

Despite his tough words and pride, Huo Lin is determined not to fall behind. If Xiao Lu can do it, he certainly can too!

He truly calmed down and stopped being distracted.

—He is an auspicious beast born in response to the prayers of all beasts for protection! How can he only know destruction and not rebirth?!

This thought, like a thunderclap, exploded in Huo Lin's mind, purging his past understanding.

He looked back at another side of his birthplace that he had overlooked: after the violent eruption of the volcano, it was not only death and desolation that were left behind.

The abundant energy permeating the air and the fertile land nourished by volcanic ash always attract bold and lucky spirit beasts to come and adventure, thereby breaking through their limits and bringing new continuation to their species.

At the end of destruction, new life is indeed born, but his eyes, accustomed to gazing at flames and scorched earth, never truly saw it.

The first hint of green struggling to emerge from the scorched earth, the creatures gathering by the warm springs, the beast eggs successfully hatching with the help of the residual heat of the subterranean fire...

"Awooo—!"

The fire unicorn suddenly roared to the sky, its sound shaking the surrounding area!

In an instant, the weather changed drastically, and an indescribable scorching aura rose into the sky centered on him.

Between the crimson scales, an unprecedentedly brilliant golden light shone. That light was no longer destructive, but a magnificent aura that cleansed all things, burned away shackles, and spurred new life!

"Little Deer!" Huo Lin's voice was urgent. "Take good care of Qin Ming. I need to return to my birthplace immediately... to break through!"

The terrifying aura emanating from him stirred the energy of the entire ethereal realm, causing the surrounding space to tremble and hum slightly!

"Once you understand, leave. This place can't withstand your antics."

Before Huo Lin could offer any further explanation, Elder Kong, sensing the commotion, swept his sleeve, tearing open a deep spatial rift and swiftly "stuffing" the churning Huo Lin inside.

The scorching aftershocks slowly spread through the air. Qin Ming gazed in the direction where the crack disappeared, feeling genuinely gratified for Huo Lin, who had broken through the barrier and found his own path.

Both members gained a lot, so what's next... what's next?

Looking towards the direction where the Fire Scales disappeared, Saint Deer and Qin Ming exchanged bewildered glances.

—What should we do about the college assessment that is imminent and cannot be postponed?

One of our experimental partners, who suddenly had an epiphany, has gone missing halfway through, and there's no replacement yet!
