Beastmastering: I Have Devine Mutation Gift - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Beast Taming Talent Awakens

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Year 37 on the Blue Planet.

Rare beasts were everywhere in the world, and the Beast Taming Power had awakened!

Humans who awakened the Beast Taming Power were called Beast Tamers. They had the talent to cooperate with all kinds of beasts!

At the age of 14, one could awaken their Beast Taming Talent at the Awakening Ceremony. Talent was usually unique, and it was irreversible for the rest of their lives.

There were nine aristocratic families stationed in Tianyu City.

Tianyu Academy was located in the center of Tianyu City.

Today, a new batch of kids would awaken their Beast Taming Talent! Everyone in the city would gather here to watch.

Meanwhile, a large group of young men and women were huddled in front of the imperial altar, chattering non-stop. Their faces were filled with excitement.

They were all 14 years old. As long as they stepped onto the Beast Taming Altar and awakened their talents, they could walk the path of Beast Tamers.

This talent was determined by the heavens. Before the test, no one could say for sure!

If one could awaken an S-Grade talent and be chosen by the teachers of Tianyu Academy, one’s future… would be bright! One would instantly become superior to others!

Among the group of excited young men and women, only one person was different.

Lin Bai stood with his arms crossed calmly and did not speak. He only answered a few times when his companions spoke.

His dark eyes were filled with a calm expression that did not match his fourteen-year-old age.

He was really not only fourteen years old!

Fourteen years ago, Lin Bai was still a coder at work. He stayed up late typing codes and fell into a daze. Upon waking up, he appeared in a dark womb. He thought that he had stayed up late and died suddenly before being reincarnated.

It was not until he was born that he realized that he had transmigrated from the 21st century of the Blue Planet to this unfamiliar parallel universe. He saw Beast Tamers and all kinds of strange beasts everywhere.

After two lifetimes, he was almost 40 years old. Naturally, he would not be as excited as a real 14-year-old.

However, in his previous life, he had never heard of Beast Taming Talent. Lin Bai was still a little excited now.

After all, he was the chosen one who had transmigrated here. Perhaps he could obtain an S-Grade talent and become a Heavenly King Beast Tamer in the future!

“Miss Li is here!”

Someone at the back of the line shouted, and the crowd immediately made way.

The girl with a high ponytail had delicate and indifferent eyes. She walked over from the crowd with steady steps and a natural expression.

Eldest Miss Li Wei came from one of the nine aristocratic families, the Li family. She was a genius and had been specially nurtured by the family’s elites since she was young. Her theoretical results were extremely outstanding.

She was also studying at Tianyu Academy. Every year, her theoretical results were second only to the top student in the cohort, Lin Bai.

Ever since she was young, due to her superior family background, Eldest Miss was used to being the center of attention. She only walked over calmly.

Tianyu Academy had specially prepared a seat for the Li Family. Li Wei did not need to stand and watch like the others and sat in her seat.

She passed by Lin Bai and glanced at him with her clear and beautiful eyes.

In the academy, Li Wei’s theoretical results had always been inferior to Lin Bai’s. She was curious about this hardworking person and naturally looked forward to this person awakening some outstanding Beast Taming Talent.

Compared to Li Wei’s secretly competitive mentality, Lin Bai did not understand.

Eh? He didn’t provoke Miss Li, did he? Why did it feel like she was staring daggers at him?

Lin Bai touched the tip of his nose inexplicably and muttered to himself.

According to the usual rules, 12 noon was the time when the awakening ceremony would begin.

Other than those who arrived early, the various aristocratic families would also send people over to take charge and see if there were any outstanding good seedlings this year.

“Quiet!”

A powerful voice sounded!

A white-bearded old man walked to the Beast Taming Altar.

He was a high-level Beast Tamer. He was in charge of the annual Beast Taming Talent Awakening Ceremony and was also a teacher at Tianyu Academy.

The teacher’s appearance instantly silenced the chattering crowd.

“Roar!”

Accompanied by a deep beast roar, a huge lion firmly lay beside him.

“It’s an Inferno Lion!” A skinny young man covered his mouth excitedly and couldn’t help but scream. His wide eyes were filled with surprise and admiration.

The other children also stared at the majestic Inferno Lion in shock and fear.

This was the teacher’s Heaven-rank beast, the Inferno Lion!

This was also the first time Lin Bai had seen the Inferno Lion. He glanced sideways and met it.

The Inferno Lion lazily wagged its flaming tail and closed its eyes to rest, completely ignoring the young man and girl’s exclamations.

“The Beast Taming Talent Awakening Ceremony begins now! Students whose names I call will go to the Beast Taming Altar!”

The crowd was excited again.

“Number 1, Chen Yi!”

“I’m here!”

As soon as the name was shouted, the leader of the crowd immediately raised a trembling, fat hand. The little fatty named Chen Yi squeezed out, covered in hot sweat. His chubby face was flushed with excitement as he jogged over.

He nimbly took two steps at a time and jumped onto the Beast Taming Altar.

In an instant!

A light blue pillar of light rose from the Beast Taming Altar, enveloping the inside. From the outside, one could only see the faint outline of a human figure.

“Wow!”

Even though there was an awakening ceremony every year, the blue light still soared into the sky, causing the surrounding onlookers to cry out excitedly.

A minute later, the blue light dissipated. The little fatty’s eyes were closed, and the fat on his face trembled as if he had yet to recover.

Teacher Li’s old face darkened as he stared at the Beast Taming Altar and read solemnly,

“No. 1, Chen Yi, C-Grade Beast Taming Talent [Defense Enhancement]!”

This was a normal talent grade.

On the other hand, the little fatty, Chen Yi, was very happy. His narrowed eyes were sparkling as he hummed a song and jumped down from the Beast Taming Altar, muttering words like Defense Enhancement and beast.

“No. 2, Liu Jia, D-Grade Beast Taming Talent [Water Spirit Consolation]!”

“No. 3, Xu Biao, D-Grade Beast Taming Talent [Earth Solidification]!”

…

After testing one after another, not a single A-Grade talent appeared. There were only a few B-Grade talents, causing Elder Li’s expression to tense up slightly.

The people in charge of the various aristocratic families around them also sat in their seats and shook their heads and sighed.

This year’s batch of seedlings was not very good.

Instructor Elder Li lowered his head to look at the name list and looked at the Li family’s seating area. His solemn old face relaxed and a faint smile hung on his face.

“Number 70, Li Wei!”

Miss Li’s theoretical results were quite outstanding. The Beast Taming Talents of the younger generation of the Li family in recent generations were not lower than A-Grade. Li Wei should not be too bad.

Li Wei’s calm face stiffened slightly, revealing a hint of nervousness.

She stood up and exhaled softly before walking onto the Beast Taming Altar.

After the blue light passed, Teacher Li trembled in excitement, and the wrinkles on his old face trembled.

He had indeed not misjudged her!

“Number… 70, Li Wei, SS-Grade Beast Taming Talent [Holy Spirit Healing]!”

This was an SS-Grade Beast Taming Talent!!!

How many years had it been since their Tianyu Academy had produced an SS-Grade Beast Taming Talent!

“SS-Grade!”

“This is too amazing!”

“Miss Li should be the best this year!”

Li Wei’s usually indifferent face also showed some surprise. She stood still for a few seconds before walking down the Beast Taming Altar.

Praises and exclamations rose and fell until the Inferno Lion roared.

The instructor calmed himself down before looking at the list again.

“Number 71, Lin Bai!”

It was his turn!

Lin Bai clenched his fists.
