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

"Wife, will anything happen to the humans?" Kamezawa tilted his head and looked them over, his voice filled with a panic he himself didn't realize.

With his exceptional underwater vision, he could clearly see a person's furrowed brow, taut jaw, and slightly trembling fingertips.

"Let's talk about something auspicious. They're just breaking through," Xuanming Snake replied.

"But that expression looks so painful!" Kamezawa gripped the ground anxiously, his huge claws carving deep furrows into the seabed.

"Aren't breakthroughs all like a comfortable massage? The spiritual energy is warm, the meridians feel relaxed, and your whole body feels like you're soaking in a hot spring."

As he spoke, his voice lowered, because Qin Ming's current state was completely different from what he had described.

Those taut muscles all over his body didn't look relaxed at all.

Xuanming Snake rolled her eyes at Guize. She really wanted to say, "Not all beings who break through are as heartless as you Thousand-Armor Turtle," but she felt it would be pointless to say it anyway.

The thick-skinned turtle is not only physically tough, but also mentally resilient.

Most of the trials during their breakthroughs were easily overcome by their nonchalant attitude. The mental shocks and sensory overloads that would drive other spirit beasts mad were like scratching an itch through a boot to them, and they passed by them with ease.

Of course, there's also the explanation that it's because they live long, have a stable mindset, and live a very Zen-like life.

A mere breakthrough; it can be broken by simply going with the flow.

Xuanming Snake took a deep breath, pulling himself back to reality, then suddenly remembered, "Didn't you get a 'Understanding Spirit Masters from Scratch' textbook from the human commander? Isn't it written in there?"

Kamezawa suddenly realized something and exhaled a large, stable bubble that neither burst nor rose.

Then the claws extended and searched inside the bubble.

His movements were very serious; the way he turned the pages with his paws was clumsy yet delicate, as if he were afraid of tearing the pages.

He actually found it after searching for a short while.

Gui Ze's eyes brightened, and he brought the bubble closer, reading aloud word by word: "Humanity's breakthrough from the fifth to the sixth rank is a major leap in realm, of extraordinary significance, and fraught with difficulties."

It is recommended to wait until multiple beasts are close to the fifth-tier limit before attempting a breakthrough, otherwise the transformation of the spirit space may fail due to insufficient energy.

If energy is still insufficient, it can be replenished through the following methods...

Guize stopped reading here, pointing with his paw to a specific location on the page. He looked up at Qin Ming, then looked down at the book again, his expression gradually becoming confused.

"That's not right... Humans are clearly in a state of excessive energy buildup, so why isn't there any instructions on how to deal with it?"

He flipped through the pages several times to make sure he hadn't missed any wrong pages.

The book is full of "what to do if you don't have enough energy", and the whole book teaches people how to replenish spiritual power, how to store resources, and how to prepare for energy accumulation before a breakthrough.

But Qin Ming's current situation is clearly the opposite.

His body was filled with chaotic and disordered energy, and his spiritual power was so dense that it was almost out of control, rampaging through his meridians and unable to find a suitable outlet.

A sudden drop in the fencing would only completely breach the dam, so Qin Ming was actually teetering on the edge of danger.

Gui Ze shook his head, looking like he was saying, "I may not be very well-educated, but don't try to fool me. I'm not stupid."

This research actually took quite a while; from the moment Kamezawa exhaled the bubbles to the time it took to read the relevant chapters, at least an incense stick's worth of time had passed.

However, Qin Ming still had a furrowed brow and a slight throbbing in the veins on his forehead, and his energy was circulating at high speed without any sign of slowing down.

Even the Xuanming Serpent was starting to feel uncertain.

The lineage of the Ten Thousand Armored Tortoises actually possesses a certain mystical quality. Although only the ancestor was truly skilled in divination, the most powerful individuals among them always possessed some inexplicable ability to avoid harm and seek good fortune.

Just like Kamesawa, who usually seems silly, he always makes the right choice at crucial moments when faced with real danger. It's hard to say whether it's luck or instinct.

So even though they are not as good as the other major underwater forces in terms of speed, stealth, and attack, they still live longer.

"Were you serious when you first said that?" Even Xuanming Snake became serious at this point, unusually so.

"What did the turtle say?" Turtle Ze, who was reading and feeling confused, looked up with a bewildered expression, as if to say, "I just read so much, which sentence are you referring to?"

The Xuanming Serpent fell silent.

Looking at the bewildered look in Kamesawa's eyes, she suddenly felt that her earlier worries were utterly useless.

What else could she say?

That's how the armored tortoise is; its intelligence isn't very stable, but it generally doesn't harm itself, only others.

She sighed, withdrew her gaze, and prepared to continue observing Qin Ming's situation.

Unaware that he was being disliked, Kamesawa suddenly asked blankly, "Wife, don't you think the whirlpool looks a bit off?"

The Xuanming Serpent followed his gaze.

This whirlpool at the entrance to the underwater current is a rarity to humans, but all too familiar to them.

Like the two trees in front of the door, as long as they are still there, people generally don't pay much attention to them.

So when Gui Ze said those words, Xuan Ming She's first reaction was, "What's so interesting about it? It's just a vortex," but she still stared at it intently.

A few seconds later, the two exclaimed in unison, "The suction has weakened!?"

It's not an illusion.

The whirlpool that once swallowed mountains and overturned seas has now become much calmer.

Its rotation speed has slowed down significantly, the rapids at the edge are no longer so fierce, and the gravel and sand that were previously swept up are slowly sinking.

The core of the vortex was no longer a bottomless darkness, but rather a gentle blue with a hint of light.

It's like a fan that's suddenly unplugged. Although it can still spin a few more times due to inertia, it has clearly lost power. The speed of rotation is getting slower and slower, and it's about to stop.

Gui Ze and Xuanming Snake exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned to Qin Ming.

"His tortoise shell is dried?"

Why did his turtle go in and destroy the house?

"How did he manage to take it apart?!"

Gui Ze had too many questions at once, and even Xuanming Snake, who was usually able to answer them, fell silent at this moment.

The good news is that as the vortex subsided, Qin Ming's energy stopped increasing.

It is expected that once the vortex completely subsides, Qin Ming's breakthrough will come naturally.

But how are they going to get back?

Gui Ze slowly turned his head to look at the weakening vortex, then slowly turned back to look at Qin Ming.

He moved his lips, then suddenly seemed lost and confused.
