Beast Tamer: Awakening a Mythical Talent at the Beginning

Chapter 20 A Comprehensive Experience, a True World of Beast Control!

The Thousand-Blade Centipede Train originated from a spiritual beast called the Thousand-Blade Centipede.

This type of spiritual beast belongs to the metal-element class. Its body is as hard as steel, giving it extremely high defense. Additionally, the Thousand-Blade Centipede’s body is enormous, with each segment the size of a room, and its full length has hundreds of segments.

Humans used metal life technology to transform the Thousand-Blade Centipede into a metallic life form and developed compartments out of its segments, creating a type of transportation tool for the wasteland.

Because of the special nature of the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train, people need to buy tickets in advance to ride it. Not only are the tickets expensive, but the process also involves certain procedures, making it somewhat cumbersome.

However, Bai Zian didn’t need to worry about these things, as Bai Zhi had arranged everything for him early on.

When Bai Zian arrived at the station, the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train headed for Candlefire City had just arrived. Bai Zian and his group boarded the train and set off toward Candlefire City.

But after entering the compartment, Bai Zian was left speechless.

Truth be told, Bai Zian wasn’t worried at all about the safety of the journey. The Thousand-Blade Centipede Train from Bai Lin City was originally a gold-level Thousand-Blade Centipede. The aura of a gold-level beast was intimidating to wild spiritual beasts. Rarely would wild beasts dare provoke Bai Lin City’s Thousand-Blade Centipede Train.

For this reason, the trip to Candlefire City was unlikely to encounter any danger.

What left Bai Zian speechless was that in the compartment, there were several boys and girls, around 17 or 18 years old, chatting and laughing as if they were out on a casual trip.

Yes, he was actually sharing the compartment with other people.

Given Bai Zian’s status, booking an entire compartment by himself would have been an easy task, and that had been his initial plan. After all, as the third generation of a beast tamer family, one should live up to that status.

Although Bai Zian wasn’t particularly arrogant, he wouldn’t reject the resources available to him. But to his surprise, Bai Zhi had arranged for him to stay in a regular compartment shared with others.

This left Bai Zian feeling somewhat helpless. He even went to Bai Zhi to check if there had been a mistake.

However, when Bai Zian learned from Bai Zhi that this arrangement had been made by his grandfather, he was left without words.

According to Bai Jingchong, this was an opportunity for Bai Zian to experience the outside world. After all, Bai Zian’s trip this time was meant for training, so the process should be a comprehensive experience.

Whether it was training his spiritual beasts or learning the ways of the world, all were part of the training. Thus, Bai Jingchong wouldn’t give Bai Zian too many privileges during this process, only ensuring basic protection.

In fact, Bai Jingchong even instructed Bai Zhi and Bai Shao not to follow Bai Zian openly, but instead to hide in the shadows and protect him secretly.

This left Bai Zian at a loss for words. Still, he understood his grandfather’s good intentions.

His grandfather was worried that Bai Zian, being raised in a sheltered environment, might easily fall prey to wild beast tamers later on. However, this concern was unnecessary.

Firstly, Bai Zian was not naïve. With memories from two lifetimes, he was already quite mature.

Secondly, with the [Eye of Revelation], any conspiracy or trickery within proximity would be revealed to him. This ability, the [Eye of Revelation], was truly domineering, almost akin to omniscience.

Therefore, Bai Jingchong’s concerns were unwarranted. Still, Bai Zian, understanding his grandfather’s intentions, didn’t argue and quietly returned to the compartment.

After all, his grandfather’s gesture was one of goodwill, and Bai Zian chose to accept it silently. Thus, the current scene unfolded before him.

The lively chatter around him made it hard for Bai Zian to rest properly. However, from their conversations, Bai Zian learned a bit about their background.

These young people were students from a high school for beast tamers in one of Bai Lin City’s satellite cities, Mining Rock City. They had just finished their first year and were about to enter their second year.

They were classmates who, during the break, were led by a teacher on a trip to Candlefire City for some training.

Bai Zian wasn’t particularly surprised by this, as it wasn’t an uncommon occurrence. Many beast-taming high schools regularly arranged for their students to undergo practical training whenever there was an opportunity.

As for their strength, Bai Zian activated his [Eye of Revelation] and quickly scanned them.

[Species]: Stone Piercer (Earth element) [Stage]: Fifth Tier (Unranked) [Talent]: Stone Skin (F) [Potential]: Low Bronze [Skill]: Stone Piercing Thrust (White)

…

[Species]: Rock Armor Turtle (Earth element) [Stage]: Sixth Tier (Unranked) [Talent]: Rock Skin (E) [Potential]: High Bronze [Skill]: Rolling Stone (White)

Well, these high school students’ talents weren’t anything special. Even if their spiritual beasts matured, they would only reach the Bronze level at best. For Bai Zian, this was relatively low.

As for their current strength, it was even weaker, as they hadn’t even reached the lowest “unranked” tier.

Spiritual beasts vary in strength. In terms of ranking, they are categorized into Unranked, Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Purple Crystal, King, Epic, Legendary, and Divine.

Unranked referrs to immature spiritual beasts. Once matured, most spiritual beasts could at least reach the Black Iron level. However, some weaker spiritual beasts, such as the Candlefire Spider, might not even reach the Black Iron level due to poor potential.

The unranked tier had nine sub-levels, often referred to as the Nine Tiers of Unranked.

These Mining Rock High School students had spent their entire first year, but their spiritual beasts hadn’t even reached the Black Iron level yet, which was rather ordinary.

For this reason, Bai Zian couldn’t help but sigh.

However, this was the reality of the beast-taming world. Ordinary beast tamers found it incredibly difficult to obtain and train powerful spiritual beasts.

People like Bai Zian, born into wealth and power with access to unlimited resources, were a rare exception.

Bai Zian’s luck had simply been exceptional—he had won life’s race from the very start. Although he didn’t have high expectations for these students’ beast-taming abilities, he still scanned them with his [Eye of Revelation].
