4: Opening up the Beast Taming Space

Closing the door of the ecological cabin, Teacher Sun led Lin Chen to the meditation room nearby.

"I heard your academic results have always been among the best, but the first time you form a contract with a spirit beast is extremely important. I still need to explain it to you in detail. You must listen carefully!" Having Lin Chen sit down in the center while holding the Fragrant Flower Rabbit, Teacher Sun said solemnly.

"Please speak, Teacher!" Lin Chen nodded.

"After a Beast Tamer signs a Spirit Contract with a spirit beast, he will gain a certain amount of spiritual energy feedback, thereby mastering powerful strength. More importantly, during the first Spirit Contract, he will open up a beast taming space in his Sea of Consciousness."

"This is a real, existing space controlled only by the Beast Tamer. A powerful beast taming space can even transform into an independent world, promoting the growth of spirit beasts and existing separately from the world."

"However, the spiritual energy feedback gained from the first Spirit Contract is extremely weak, only serving as a key to open the space. The actual opening still requires the Beast Tamer himself to Absorb external spiritual energy, which is why this process must be conducted in a meditation room or cultivation room."

"But the influx of a large amount of spiritual energy will bring great pain and discomfort to the Beast Tamer. You must endure it and not resist or lose consciousness, as this will affect the size of the beast taming space you open."

"Although Beast Taming Bracelets have been developed now, their effects are far inferior to the beast taming space. It is impossible for a world with complete rules to form inside them, not to mention that the beast taming space is a power the Beast Tamer can completely control."

"..."

"Thank you, Teacher Sun, I understand. I will definitely try my best to persevere!" Lin Chen thanked him sincerely. Although he was a bit of a nag, as a teacher, he was very responsible.

Opening a beast taming space was not a major event; even if the space opened was very small or the opening failed, it would not prevent him from becoming a Beast Tamer. However, Lin Chen listened very seriously, as it concerned his future, and who knew when this knowledge might come in handy?

Of course, he would never sell his backline just because the other party was diligent and responsible.

"That's good! Then I wish you luck!" Teacher Sun nodded in satisfaction, waved at Lin Chen, turned and walked out of the meditation room, giving him a thumbs-up gesture through the soundproof glass.

"Hoo~~~" Lin Chen took a deep breath and looked down at the Fragrant Flower Rabbit in his arms. Unbeknownst to him, the little fellow had already fallen asleep in his embrace.

"You little fellow, you certainly have no worries!" Lin Chen said with a smile, raising it up.

"???" The Fragrant Flower Rabbit was woken up, staring at Lin Chen with a pair of ruby-like eyes, looking utterly bewildered.

"I want to sign a Spirit Contract with you, to become partners who follow each other through life and death, never abandoning one another. Are you willing?" Lin Chen asked the Fragrant Flower Rabbit with a solemn expression.

As his voice fell, a golden light shone on Lin Chen's glabella. An imprint, wrapped in a ring and containing the mountain and sea scroll, slowly emerged and descended toward the Fragrant Flower Rabbit's glabella under Lin Chen's control.

This was Lin Chen's unique Beast Taming Spirit Contract. Every Beast Tamer's Spirit Contract is different, but as long as the Spirit Contract is imprinted in the spirit beast's Sea of Consciousness, both parties are considered to have signed the contract, becoming partners who never abandon each other and follow each other through life and death.

"sound?"

Seeing this Spirit Contract, the Fragrant Flower Rabbit instinctively felt a hint of unease. However, being held up by Lin Chen, its eyes still held the confusion of just waking up. Before it could react, the Spirit Contract had already been imprinted in its Sea of Consciousness, completing the signing of the contract.

Instantly, Lin Chen's aura became familiar, and the vigilance in its heart vanished immediately. The Fragrant Flower Rabbit instantly relaxed again, feeling an inexplicable urge to snuggle into Lin Chen's arms and sleep for a bit longer.

"It's done!" Lin Chen looked delighted, not expecting the contract to succeed so easily.

However, before he could savor the joy in his heart, a sharp pain shot through his mind, as if a powerful surge of energy was rushing frantically into his consciousness.

Not good! His brain was growing!

Lin Chen had no time to think of anything else. He quickly closed his eyes, guarded his mind, and sank his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness.

"Boom~~~" In the darkness, he seemed to see a patch of chaos being torn open. The churning chaotic energy scattered, revealing a world hidden by dense fog.

"Hiss~~~" Lin Chen couldn't help but gasp. The intense pain in his Sea of Consciousness felt like it was acting directly on his soul, leaving him no time even to scream, and he almost passed out.

Just as he managed to recover slightly, he felt countless spiritual energies rushing into his body, like sinking to the bottom of the ocean, where intense water pressure squeezed his body, seemingly trying to crush his bones.

Lin Chen looked at the newly opened beast taming space, hoping to distract himself and alleviate the physical pain, but his attention was captured by the world that had been carved out within the mist.

The magnificent mountains and rivers, the strange and rare beasts he had never heard of, and the extremely dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth... all spoke of the uniqueness and power of this world.

"This? Is this the world depicted on the Spirit Contract?" Lin Chen inexplicably thought of his unique Beast Tamer Spirit Contract.

Most Beast Tamers' Spirit Contracts were just symbols or marks, but his Spirit Contract looked more like an emblem, seemingly engraved with a corner of a world.

Now, with the opening of the beast taming space, he finally knew what was depicted on it. It was a miniature corner of his beast taming space.

"But? Why is my beast taming space such a world?" A hint of confusion arose in his heart, and he subconsciously looked up toward the top of that world.

He saw a mountain and sea scroll slowly unfolding in the sky. The scene displayed on it was exactly the mountains and lands below. The entire beast taming space was like a real reflection of the world within the painting, gradually becoming complete as the scroll unfolded.

"Boom!!!" When the scroll was fully unfolded, Lin Chen's Sea of Consciousness trembled violently, and the entire beast taming space completely stabilized.

Subsequently, the mountain and sea scroll slowly descended, gradually merging into the mountains and lands below.

When the intense pain subsided and Lin Chen regained his senses, the rare birds and exotic beasts in the beast taming space had vanished like phantom bubbles, leaving behind only the magnificent mountainous terrain, speaking of the world's power.

Meanwhile, the chaotic energy that enveloped the entire world began to spread toward the center of the world again, gradually enveloping this newly opened world until only an area of about one hundred mu remained, at which point it slowly stopped.

Lin Chen watched all of this quietly, neither stopping it nor panicking. This world was too vast and boundless, far beyond what he could currently bear. The covering by chaotic energy was merely a temporary seal, and the day it would be unveiled again would surely come...
