Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 87 Control

This place is called the basic training ground, which means that the most basic things are trained here.

"Those environments must have been artificially created."

Before the mythical beasts came to the human world, human technology had already developed to a certain level. Although it was not yet possible to carry out interstellar travel that could traverse space, the technology to create artificial environments was already achievable.

In fact, many people say that if the mythical beasts had appeared a few hundred years later, humans might have already developed the technology to travel through space. After all, before the mythical beasts appeared, humans were already able to fold space.

However, there are no "what ifs" in life. The appearance of mythical beasts caused human technology to regress, and it will take at least several hundred years for humanity to return to its previous level of technology.

Everything in front of me looked like an amusement park, the kind of playground that appears during summer vacation to amuse people with games like "XX Forward Rush".

The road was full of obstacles, like a maze. After entering, they stood on a high platform, where they could see many things below.

"Are we supposed to practice inside and then come out?"

The environment below is varied and winding, resembling a maze.

Beastmasters who have just formed a contract with a mythical beast usually have a very unfamiliar relationship with it.

After signing the contract, many people never let their pets leave the pet space, let alone communicate with them, except on the day they register their pet tamer certificate.

"The following should simulate various problems that we and our magical beasts might encounter, and then the beast tamer and the magical beasts should work together to solve them."

Soon, the teacher in charge of the class arrived.

She led everyone down and said to them, "Please summon your magical beasts."

"Students need to work together with their magical beasts to get out of this maze."

"This will also be part of your high school entrance exam in the future, testing the cooperation between the Beastmaster and the Beast, as well as their abilities."

Since it's a training camp, it's impossible that it won't be geared towards the upcoming exams; almost every high school entrance exam includes these.

Of course, all beast tamers will eventually have access to education, and there are many high schools that do not have independent admission processes.

If a beast tamer doesn't get into a high school that requires an independent admission process, they can go to a high school that doesn't have one.

Those high schools only look at the Beast Tamers' middle school entrance exam scores.

"There will be various obstacles and temptations for the magical beasts inside, requiring the beast tamer and the magical beasts to cooperate well to try to pass through quickly."

Making mythical beasts obey their masters and resisting temptations are also things that master beast tamers need to learn.

Currently, most people's magical beasts lack sufficient trust in their masters and obedience.

Many people have encountered situations where their summoned beasts are unwilling to appear.

"Next, I'm going to teach you how to make your magical beasts obey." The teacher stood in front of everyone and said this. After that, everyone who had this problem perked up their ears.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng reached out and stroked the fur on the deer's neck.

"There are two methods."

"The first step is to gain the trust of the mythical beasts, so that they genuinely regard you as companions who can progress, grow, and fight together."

"You are already connected in spirit. You just need to communicate more with the phantom beasts and gradually deepen their trust in you, so that you can make the phantom beasts completely obey your commands."

After the teacher finished speaking, he paused to give everyone time to react.

Everyone actually knows this, but for a moment they don't know how to do it.

It sounds like a time-consuming and laborious task.

Of course, after hearing this, many people silently reached out to their own magical beasts.

"The second method is to forcibly control the magical beast."

"The first method requires everyone to establish a connection with the mythical beast themselves, so today we will mainly tell you about the second method."

The teacher's words drew everyone's attention to her.

"This has to do with the history of us Beast Tamers. The first group of people who were able to use illusionary power to cultivate saw the existence of the Illusionary Beast Space when they were on the verge of life and death, and thus opened the Illusionary Beast Space and made a contract with a ferocious beast."

However, the ferocious beasts were unwilling to obey human commands.

Countless people almost used their mental power to command the phantom beasts to fight, sacrificing themselves to take down the ferocious beasts.

However, this approach has changed many times now, and the relationship between mythical beasts and humans is no longer one of mortal enmity.

After a human and a mythical beast sign a contract, the human can directly command the mythical beast under the power of the contract.

After the teacher finished speaking, a contract pattern appeared on his forehead, with a mythical beast pattern in the center of the pattern.

This pattern only appears after the contract is signed. For example, when Jiang Feng opens the Beast Space now, a pattern representing a fighting deer will appear in the middle of the contract pattern.

"After opening the pet space, you should be able to feel the contract between you and the pets."

"If you can't feel it, touch the symbol of the contract on your forehead with your hand, and then concentrate your mental energy in that spot."

The teacher taught everyone how to control the magical beasts.

Jiang Feng naturally wanted to learn as well. He didn't necessarily have to use what he learned, but he had to master the skills.

She looked at the fighting deer beside her and asked it with her mental power, "May I try this method?"

"Okay." Doulu nodded and replied.

Jiang Feng continued speaking to Dou Lu: "If you feel unwell, please tell me immediately."

Dou Lu nodded, and Jiang Feng began to learn from the teacher in front of him.

Yao Yue and Yin Jiao, who were standing next to them, didn't want to try. Although their synergy with the magical beasts hadn't reached the highest level, it was already quite good.

The mythical beasts are generally obedient.

After hearing Jiang Feng and Dou Lu's conversation, the two of them also communicated with their own mythical beasts and, after receiving permission, began to learn.

Skills cannot be learned by simply listening to them once. Most of the things related to beast tamers require the beast tamer to operate them personally. If you only listen to others and don't try it yourself, you will never learn such a skill.

After all, a beast tamer's effectiveness depends on their actual attack power in battle.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, what's the use if you don't have any offensive capabilities?

Even among the instructors of the four major academies, even if some of them are conducting research on beast tamers and magical beasts, they still need to have exceptional strength to become instructors.

Therefore, improving one's strength is fundamental for a beast tamer; all theoretical knowledge is built upon the foundation of enhancing strength.

Following his teacher's instructions, Jiang Feng released the [Radiance] command to the fighting deer.

A skill was instantly unleashed above the head of the deer.

"It's very strange."

"Fighting Deer" was speaking in Jiang Feng's mind.

Jiang Feng withdrew his mental energy, and Dou Lu communicated with him using language.

"The skill wasn't released without my thought; it was as if you were controlling me, my entire body was outside my control."

Just like the teacher said, this way you can completely control the magical beasts and make them obey your commands.

But Jiang Feng also felt the harm this method was causing him.

That is—the consumption of mental energy is enormous.

What would happen if the deer rebelled during this process?

What if you refuse?

Let's try again—

Before Jiang Feng could finish speaking, a classmate in front of him had already fallen to the ground.

The teacher glanced at it, then immediately summoned his own magical beast, which unleashed a skill that appeared to be healing.

"There is a prerequisite for using this skill: your mental strength must completely overwhelm the phantom beast."

"Otherwise, the more fiercely the phantom beasts resist, the greater the damage you yourselves will suffer."

After the teacher finished speaking, she pointed to the student lying on the ground and said, "I already said that if you feel uncomfortable, you should stop immediately."

However, that student did not listen to the teacher and continued to output his mental energy even after feeling uncomfortable, which is why this happened.

The teacher had anticipated this situation, but also knew that there would always be people who wouldn't believe it.

Now that some people have fainted, those who wanted to force the attempt have given up the idea.

"Alright, everyone can practice this when you get back."

Jiang Feng reached out and touched the fighting deer: "No need for a demonstration, we already know the consequences."

Thankfully, I didn't try it.

Jiang Feng felt that Dou Lu's mental strength was definitely not low. If Dou Lu resisted her mental strength, it might result in a lose-lose situation.

The teacher was still explaining the precautions, and those who hadn't succeeded earlier didn't try again.

"The higher the level of understanding between you and your pet, and the higher the level of trust your pet has in you, the higher the success rate of controlling it will be."

"The two methods, in a sense, lead to the same goal."

"Unless your mental strength is high enough to completely overwhelm the phantom beast."

For example, a third-tier beast tamer can exert mental power to overwhelm a first-tier magical beast. If this third-tier beast tamer contracts a first-tier magical beast when he is at the third tier, he can directly use his mental power to command that magical beast.

After she finished speaking, she began to explain what the lesson would cover.

"Everyone has practical training sessions every day, but the schedule varies each day."

"The basic training you are in front of is to help the Beastmaster quickly get along with the Phantom Beast. In this maze, you and your Phantom Beast may encounter all sorts of things, and you will need to work together to get out of it."

"Whether you use the abilities of the magical beasts or your own brain, you need to cooperate to find a way out and get out."

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, Jiang Feng's gaze fell on the entrance in front of him. There were ten entrances in total, which meant that ten people could enter at the same time.

There are forty people in the class, so they should be taking turns going in, right?

"Now I'll demonstrate for you. Please stand on the stands above."

After the teacher finished speaking, she summoned one of her magical beasts. Once everyone was standing on the stands where they could clearly see what was happening below, she and her magical beast went inside together.

The teacher and the magical beasts passed through each level quickly, and it didn't seem too difficult. Whether it was water, fire, or other obstacles like vines and log bridges, the magical beasts and the players were able to cooperate well.

"It looks pretty simple," someone said from the side.

"The teacher finished so quickly! Only five minutes have passed, and half of it is already gone!"

However, the teacher had no intention of wasting everyone's time. After running halfway, she summoned a flying phantom beast, which carried her out and landed in front of the students.

Most people exclaimed "Wow!" after seeing this move.

"A mythical beast that can fly!"

Flying is not categorized, because all types of mythical beasts can fly.

Most winged mythical beasts can fly.

"Alright, ten people per group, everyone go down and line up. A new group will go in every five minutes!"

The teacher was well aware of the capabilities of the new Beastmaster.

She ran halfway through in five minutes, but these newbies...

It will probably take about 30 to 40 minutes to run half of it.

The strongest should go in first to avoid being overtaken by those behind.

"Use your student ID numbers," she said, taking out the student list and starting to call out the names.

In that case, Jiang Feng would be among the last batch to enter.

She chose to stand still and observe how the people who entered first handled things inside.

The first twenty students followed the teacher downstairs because they only had five minutes to prepare.

"Fengfeng, we're going now." Yin Jiao and Yao Yue waved to Jiang Feng, and Ren Wu, standing beside them, also waved to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng nodded to them, then said, "You'd better run fast."

Don't let her go in from behind, or she'll catch up with you.

Upon hearing this, Ren Wu's eyes widened, realizing that it was entirely possible.

Deer are the best at running!

She wasn't nervous at first, but after hearing what Jiang Feng said, she suddenly became nervous!

After everyone had left, Jiang Feng summoned the Fighting Deer again.

The area above is relatively small, so everyone is sending their pets back into the pet space.

The other students naturally summoned their own magical beasts as well.

Before the last class, everyone was not familiar with Jiang Feng and did not pay much attention to him, after all, Jiang Feng was ranked 31st in the class.

Even if there are deer fighting, people only know that the legendary deer fighting is very powerful, but they don't really know how powerful it is.

Some people don't even know anything about deer fighting, and have never heard of the legend of deer fighting.

However, Jiang Feng's performance in the last class completely shattered everyone's perception of her.

That fighting deer was a magical beast capable of using its skills to tear through the vines of that teacher's magical beast!

Isn't it said that the first skill of a light-attribute pet is always to glow? Why is her pet's first skill so strong?

Of course, many people also saw the first skill released by Dou Lu, and were even more surprised that Jiang Feng's phantom beast could have two skills.

These thirty-one people... brought them an extremely strong sense of pressure!

"Jiang, Jiang Feng..." Someone spoke up beside Jiang Feng, "Hello, may I stand next to you?"
