Chapter 2

Is this what the Beast Domain looks like?

What do the four doors inside the Beast Domain mean?

Could these doors be for the beasts to enter and exit?

Chen Fan was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained expressionless as he silently examined the system panel outside the Beast Domain.

One by one, explanatory texts appeared in his mind.

"Beast System: Monsters can be cultivated, demons can be cultivated, gods can be cultivated, devils can be cultivated... everything can be cultivated, everything can be a pet!"

"The host can gain energy by helping the beasts grow (whether or not they are their own beasts) or by killing monsters. Energy can be used to [help the beasts evolve] and [unlock other system functions]."

"After the Beast System is activated, there is no limit to the number of beasts the host can sign a contract with (meaning you can sign as many beasts as you want, as long as you can raise them)."

This system is quite playful... Chen Fan glanced at the energy bar at the bottom of the system panel.

The energy bar showed that he already had 20 points of energy.

Above the energy bar were many cloud-like things, which should be the skills that can be unlocked using energy.

Perhaps due to insufficient energy, all the clouds were unopened, and it was unclear what skills they were.

Chen Fan wasn't in a hurry.

Even if he couldn't unlock other skills, just the ability to cultivate and evolve beasts was enough to make the "Beast System" a powerful tool.

"Too strong..."

"Actually saying everything can be a pet, even gods and devils can be cultivated!"

Chen Fan lifted his head and looked at the black gorilla in front of the square.

Immediately, a virtual panel appeared before him.

【Monster Name】: Savage Rampaging Ape

【Combat Level】: Level 10 (Elite)

【Race Level】: Medium Extraordinary

【Monster Attribute】: Water

【Monster Weakness】: Earth

【Race Skills】: Fury Wave, Water Cannon, Azure Shield, Deep Sea Vortex (This skill has not awakened yet, there is a chance to awaken it after upgrading to Level 11)...

【Potential Level】: Three Stars

【Requirements to Break to Level 11】: 100 pounds of Devil Bananas, 100 pounds of Blue Tree Berries, 500 pounds of Milk Tree Leaves... three days of high-intensity training, 15 points of energy (the higher the potential level, the easier the evolution, and the less material required). Usage steps: ...

【Race Level Evolution Path】: Two paths

First path, ordinary evolution path: Savage Rampaging Ape → Stone Skin Demon Ape → Iron Skin Demon Ape; from Medium Extraordinary to High Extraordinary, required materials and methods...

Second path, hidden variant evolution path: Savage Rampaging Ape → Eight-Armed Mad Ape → Ancient Blue Ape...; from Medium Extraordinary to High Extraordinary, required materials and methods...

【The ordinary evolution path is relatively easier, while the hidden variant evolution path is more difficult, but the hidden variant evolution path can elevate the race level to its limit, with infinite potential, making it the optimal evolution path after the system's selection】

Looking at these data, Chen Fan's eyes sparkled...

The functions of the "Beast System" were truly formidable.

Not only could it help beasts improve their combat level, but it could also enhance their race level!

Not only could it show the ordinary evolution path, but it could also reveal the more powerful hidden variant evolution path!

Doesn't this mean that as long as he could find the relevant materials and follow the system's methods, he could cultivate even the most ordinary beasts into mythic-level beasts?

Awesome!

Unbelievable!

Chen Fan almost laughed out loud.

He retracted his gaze and looked down at the little white cat in his arms, suddenly freezing...

【Monster Name】: Ragdoll Cat Xiao Bai

【Race Level】: Low Awakening

【Monster Attribute】: Lightning

【Monster Weakness】: Fire

Usage steps: ...

"..."

Chen Fan's eyes widened.

Xiao Bai awakened?

Did she awaken after the穿越 (穿越 means "穿越" in Chinese, which can be translated as "穿越" in English, but in this context, it means "after the transfer to this world")?

Her potential level is actually higher than that of the Savage Rampaging Ape?

The Savage Rampaging Ape's potential level is only three stars, and she is six stars!

"Meow!"

Seeing Chen Fan staring at her with wide eyes, Xiao Bai lifted her paw and gently patted his arm.

Chen Fan, seeing that Xiao Bai's status was "Frightened," gently rubbed her little head to comfort her.

Xiao Bai immediately closed her eyes, looking very content, and her status on the virtual panel changed to "Comfortable."

"Fish... Level 1 and Level 2 fish can help Xiao Bai level up, I need to find a way to get more fish!"

Since he knew that the "hidden variant evolution path" was far superior to the "ordinary evolution path," Chen Fan directly ignored the ordinary evolution path for Xiao Bai.

He glanced at the jungle outside the square and nodded to himself.

There must be a river in the jungle, and catching fish shouldn't be a problem.

It's just that he didn't know how strong the Level 1 and Level 2 fish were...

At this moment, the first round of awakening guidance was over.

A wave of exclamations spread through the crowd.

Chen Fan looked up and saw that some people sitting around the lighthouse were surrounded by twinkling starlight, and a glowing hexagram appeared in front of them.

Others were surrounded by twinkling starlight but had no hexagram in front of them.

Most people... had no unusual phenomena around them.

"Silence!"

A young man in armor loudly explained a few things.

The crowd gained a lot of information from his explanation.

Chen Fan also pondered...

It turned out that those with a glowing hexagram and twinkling starlight in front of them had awakened the Beast Master talent and the Star Warrior talent.

Those surrounded by twinkling starlight but without a hexagram had only awakened the Star Warrior talent.

The potential of Beast Masters and Star Warriors differed greatly.

Because Beast Masters themselves also possess the talent of Star Warriors.

Both cultivate star energy.

Star Warriors can only use star energy to temper their bodies and use star energy to activate martial techniques or martial arts.

Beast Masters can also use star energy to temper their bodies and use star energy to activate martial techniques and martial arts, but they can also sign contracts with beasts, directly obtain the beasts' power, and grow and fight together with their beasts.

At the same level, unless under special circumstances, Star Warriors are generally overwhelmed by Beast Masters.

Like the woman on the shoulder of the Savage Rampaging Ape, how could a Star Warrior of the same level fight her with such a large beast?

She doesn't even need to act herself; the Savage Rampaging Ape could crush the Star Warrior...

And who can be sure how many beasts she has?

If she summoned a group of gorillas and they took turns attacking you... oh no, taking turns fighting you, could you hold out?

On this Blue Star, the status of Beast Masters is much higher than imagined.

However, the awakening rate seems a bit low...

500 people divided into ten groups for awakening guidance, but only 52 people awakened the Beast Master talent!

Only one in ten...

And more people awakened the Star Warrior talent, with 105 out of 500 people awakening it, with an awakening rate exceeding one in five.

According to this ratio, out of these 20,000 people, about 2,000 would become Beast Masters, and about 4,000 would become Star Warriors.

However, the remaining people would have another chance to awaken in three days.

It's unknown how many would ultimately awaken.

Chen Fan shifted his gaze and scanned the other three beasts.

The other three beasts all had a combat level of 10 and a race level of Medium Extraordinary.

However, their potential levels were one star lower than the Savage Rampaging Ape, only two stars.

Just from the potential level, Xiao Bai could almost crush them!

...

At this moment, those who had awakened were cheering and, under the guidance of a group of soldiers, went to another side to test their Beast Master and Star Warrior talents.

Those who did not awaken were dejected, with very gloomy faces.

Wang Teng couldn't help but sigh, "Those who can awaken are the chosen ones of heaven."

"There's another chance in three days, but if they still don't awaken after the second awakening guidance, they can only become miners."

"Even if they have crossed over, they will only be ordinary people living at the bottom of society for the rest of their lives."

"Ah, I really hope I can awaken as a Beast Master; I don't want to be ordinary after crossing over..."

A person beside him said, "Being a miner is a future concern; whether they can survive these three days is a problem... who knows what monsters are in that jungle..."

The mood of many people around became extremely heavy.

Chen Fan didn't speak, his expression relatively calm.

Apart from growing up in an orphanage and fighting with stray dogs countless times, seeing many ups and downs, the main reason was...

He already knew he was a protagonist.

But to be honest, even with the system, he still needed to be cautious.

Develop stealthily.

Don't show off.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died... at least now he had no means to protect himself.

...

An hour and a half later.

Wang Teng gently nudged Chen Fan, "Brother Chen Fan, it's almost our turn."

Chen Fan nodded.

A lighthouse for 50 people, ten lighthouses simultaneously, one awakening guidance for 500 people.

Every 5 minutes, there were now about 3,000 people left.

Soon, Chen Fan and Wang Teng's group began to move, and a group of people, led by a squad of soldiers, sat cross-legged around a lighthouse in an orderly manner.

As soon as he sat down, Chen Fan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Under the light of the lighthouse, he felt like the winter sun shining on his body, warm and cozy.

Chen Fan closed his eyes and clearly felt a strange energy emanating from the lighthouse, entering his mind.

But in the Beast Domain, it was as if only a breeze had blown, and then there was no more movement.

After 5 minutes...

A group of people stood up with various expressions.

Chen Fan looked around... no unusual phenomena.

On the opposite side, Wang Teng's arms trembled, and he shouted, "I... I awakened the Star Warrior talent! I'm a Star Warrior! Hahahaha!"

A girl who had awakened the Beast Master talent was overjoyed and sobbed.

Others who had not awakened any talents lowered their heads and silently moved to the side.

At this moment, the square was divided into three groups.

One group was those who had already awakened their talents;

One group was those who had undergone awakening guidance but had not awakened any talents;

The last group was those waiting for the final awakening guidance.

No one deliberately separated these groups, but people's self-awareness made the lines very clear.

From now on, perhaps these would be people from two different worlds.

Reality is so cruel.

Chen Fan smiled and prepared to go up to Wang Teng to congratulate him.

But Wang Teng glanced at him and then walked directly to the girl and said, "Little sister, I awakened the Star Warrior talent, and you awakened the Beast Master talent. Let's team up later?"

"Although you have awakened the Beast Master talent, you don't have a beast yet, and your strength is not strong. I can protect you!"

As he spoke, Wang Teng rolled up his sleeves, revealing well-developed biceps.

"Okay!" The girl nodded.

Wang Teng's face lit up, and without even looking at Chen Fan, he walked to the group of those who had already awakened their talents to find other teammates.

The girl, after glancing at Chen Fan, obediently followed behind Wang Teng.
