High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

While Lu Yu was pleasantly surprised by the effects of cultivating with the Source Crystal.

In another room not far away.

Qin Shiyao also sat cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed.

But instead of cultivating, she was 'conversing' with a voice in her mind.

"I didn't expect Lu Yu to also get a spot in the provincial exam. I thought he wouldn't pass his final exams this time."

Qin Shiyao spoke with some surprise.

The words fell.

Soon, another extremely bland voice came to mind.

"Heh, it's just a temporary moment of glory."

"Whether you're a beast tamer or a necromancer..."

"Those are all wrong paths; only martial arts is the true path to divinity!"

As they were talking.

In Qin Shiyao's consciousness space.

A figure dressed in a purple and gold robe, with a perfect face and a noble and elegant demeanor, appeared.

She simply stood there quietly, as if below her were countless ministers bowing their heads and all races paying homage.

Diwei!

She exudes an aura of nobility that comes from long-term high positions!

"But teacher..."

"I just watched that video again. Fighting against thousands of gold-eating rats all by herself, that's pretty incredible, isn't it?"

Qin Shiyao couldn't help but say.

Although she appeared calm and collected at the dinner table, she was actually deeply shocked inside!

Lu Yu's strength is far superior to hers!

She was confident she could kill a fourth-tier peak Gold-Eating Rat.

But when faced with the entire swarm of gold-devouring rats, she knew she couldn't achieve the same feats as Lu Yu.

This statement came out.

The teacher Qin Shiyao mentioned remained silent for a long while.

then.

Her voice then rang out again, faintly:

"Shiyao, shall I tell you a story?"

Qin Shiyao quickly replied, "Master, please speak!"

"That's how it is..."

"On a planet called Purple Star, a hundred years ago, the Abyss descended, unleashing a cataclysmic monster calamity!"

"With the help of the Holy Temple, the humans of Purple Star embarked on the path of martial arts, barely managing to fight against increasingly powerful behemoths!"

"Until one day, an anomaly appeared on the planet!"

"When everyone else could only become a warrior, a young boy became a necromancer!"

"He's incredibly strong, ridiculously strong, hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than your cousin!"

"In his hands, dead mutated beasts can be resurrected and form a massive army!"

"Even after paying a certain price, the dead behemoths can be resurrected to fight for humanity!"

"He is a lone warrior, yet he is an army in himself!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shiyao's eyes widened immediately.

She knew this couldn't be a story.

That so-called Purple Star was the planet where my teacher once lived.

only……

According to the teacher, her planet was eventually destroyed by a monstrous catastrophe, and only she, the human empress, survived the destruction. After passing through a spatial rift, she now resides in Qin Shiyao's consciousness space.

Over the past year.

It was this empress who taught him cultivation, which allowed him to far surpass his peers in both realm and combat power!

"And then?"

Qin Shiyao pressed for an answer.

The Empress remained silent for a long, long time, finally letting out a long sigh and saying softly:

"later?"

"Later, he discovered that he could only revive and control behemoths below the Venerable level at most!"

"A Saint-level behemoth, a demigod-level behemoth... He was helpless!"

Even if he eventually breaks through to the god level and tries countless methods, the result will still be the same!

"In the end, he committed suicide!"

"To die in despair, to die with no way forward, to die from the resentment in one's heart..."

As the empress spoke, she also sighed.

As the former Empress of the Human Race, she once regarded that boy as the hope of Zixing in resisting the giant beasts, and gave him a lot of investment and resource support!

But in the end...

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

Aside from martial arts, other professions, while gaining temporary power, may also have insurmountable upper limits.

Like an insurmountable chasm, it lies in front of us, making it impossible to take a single step!

"hiss--"

"According to this theory, will Lu Yu also encounter obstacles and be unable to continue improving, just like that necromancer?"

Qin Shiyao's beautiful eyes widened as she pressed for an answer.

Although she had never had much feeling for the boy living in her house, she couldn't bear to see him end up like that.

How desperate must that young necromancer have been to commit suicide?

For a moment, Qin Shiyao could hardly believe it.

"Beastmaster, Zi Xing has never appeared before."

"But I suspect that the upper limit might not even be as high as that of a necromancer; perhaps the King level is an insurmountable barrier."

The empress spoke in a low, gloomy tone, revealing no emotion.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shiyao fell silent.

And the next moment.

Seemingly sensing that Qin Shiyao's mood was off, the Empress abruptly changed the subject and said:

"In this era, martial arts reign supreme!"

"Only by cultivating martial arts to its ultimate level can one have the qualifications and the ability to change all of this—the eternal war between the behemoths and humanity!"

Done.

The empress then fell silent and said no more.

Qin Shiyao, on the other hand, was deeply shocked.

Era, rules, eternal war...

Even the words the teacher subtly hinted at made her feel oppressed and suffocated.

Before meeting her teacher, she thought that only Earth had suffered from the monstrous natural disaster.

She only found out from her teacher...

This world is vast, so vast, and there are many, many more worlds like Earth!

But without exception.

Every world is struggling to survive under the threat of monstrous natural disasters!

This is not just a crisis for humanity on Earth, but a crisis for the entire human race!

As Qin Shiyao continued to think about these things, the more she thought about them, the heavier her heart felt.

until...

The Empress's voice rang out again.

"alright!"

"What you need to do now is keep training and getting stronger!"

"Although your martial arts talent is only six stars, with me here, it's only a matter of time before you surpass that so-called Chinese Martial God."

"I'll now teach you a new cultivation technique that can increase the speed at which you absorb and purify source energy..."

"Aim to reach level five before the provincial exam!"

The Empress's tone suddenly turned serious, becoming stern and cold.

Qin Shiyao's heart tightened immediately. Not daring to think any further, she instinctively replied, "This student understands!"

After that, I don't know how much time passed.

The energy fluctuations emanating from her body grew increasingly powerful.

The powerful aura even swept outwards, surging towards the outside of the room.

But it was stopped by an inexplicable force.

"Strive to become stronger, child!"

"Don't let this world end up like Purple Star, shattered and annihilated..."

In front of Qin Shiyao, who was meditating with her eyes closed.

The empress's phantom slowly coalesced.

Her delicate, willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes, like autumn water, gazed through the window at the myriad lights of the city outside.

She was once the Empress of the Human Race, with hundreds of millions of subjects.

And now.

But he was nothing more than a remnant soul, adrift in another world.

She lost everything she once had.

now.

Her deep gaze seemed to be reminiscing, as if she were commemorating.

In the eyes.

It seemed to reflect a complete planetary world.

That is……

There was once a world as brightly lit as it is now.
