First Defeat
Daixi's eyes lit up and she suggested that a matching Crystal Ball be installed in the center of each city to transmit the challenge videos of the major beast-taming halls to the Imperial Capital.
Then, a review team should be formed by people from the Imperial Capital to create a real-time ranking list and a compilation of highlights of the contestants. This might actually help promote the Beast Taming Competition.
After some thought, Fengyun realized that this made sense, and on a whim, he actually created a fantasy world version of the TV series.
Although it has many limitations and requires the central magic circle's towering beam of light as a transfer medium, it is indeed quite good in practice.
After having this idea in mind, he used his understanding of the Darkness Law to make some adjustments to the magic circle, so that the image, which originally only had visuals, could also emit sound in sync, making it even more authentic.
However, he did not agree with Daixi's suggestion. Due to the limitations of the era, Daixi's suggestion, although good, was somewhat petty.
In the fantasy world of Coiling Dragon, where swords and magic reign supreme, long-distance communication is nothing to powerful individuals; the range of divine sense coverage is the very range of communication for the strong.
For God Level Expert like Fengyun, having his divine sense cover tens of thousands of miles is nothing special. With the mere twenty or thirty thousand miles of the Yulan Continent, Fengyun and the High Priest and their group of Deity Level could easily pick two out to achieve unimpeded communication across the entire continent.
If we consider the contracted monster as a communication node, this distance can be further increased based on the characteristics of soul communication.
However, for people at the bottom of society, communication was a major problem. Just like the Azure Wind Eagle teams that the O'Brien Empire set up in various county towns, it was not only very expensive, but only the military and the government could use it. Ordinary wealthy people were not qualified to use it.
While it's not impossible to use contracted monsters for long-distance real-time communication, the number of such communication channels is still limited, and communication can only be relayed by the monsters, making it extremely inefficient and inconvenient.
Therefore, Fengyun plans to go all out: spread the magic array he has researched, and have each county-level city and above in the Light-Dark Empire establish a transit magic array. Under the guise of promoting the Beast Taming Competition, he aims to familiarize all citizens with this method and then gradually expand its use so that everyone can use it.
As for the sound-recording magic circle I added later, created by reversing the operation of the Tranquil Space of Dark Magic, it would need to be inscribed separately by Dark Magic, which would most likely cause the separation of image and sound, and it wouldn't be as well coordinated as my method of using light and darkness as they do...
It's good enough that it's usable, what more could you ask for? We can improve it gradually later.
Having figured all this out, Fengyun immediately arranged for someone from the Imperial Research Institute to come and explain the information about image teleportation magic circles and sound teleportation magic circles to him, and even drew a sample magic circle for them to study on their own.
After they finished getting everything done, they went out to play.
However, Lily was an impatient person. Before she could experience much of the human world along the way, she rushed to the first training hall in the Kede County City, which was also the closest to the Imperial Capital, Light Shadow City, and began her first formal beast-taming challenge!
Then came a crushing defeat!
There was no way around it; although the little girl had a huge advantage in terms of resources and other aspects, she had still managed to contract four magical beasts all by herself.
With their attention scattered, they didn't have much emotional connection with each of their monsters, making them ultimately weaker compared to the elite members selected by the Beast Taming Hall to save face.
Unwilling to give up, Lily then challenged Beastmaster of level Level 8 and Level 9, and unsurprisingly, she was defeated again.
Unable to bear the blow, Lily came to her brother to confide in him.
"Brother, aren't my Little Fei, Little Snow, and Little Dragon the most talented magical beasts of their respective races? How come I didn't win a single one of the three matches?"
"Their magical beasts shouldn't be as powerful as mine!"
Fengyun picked up Lily and nuzzled her little face, saying, "Since the Beast Taming Cultivation Method spread, the combat power of magical beasts can no longer be divided solely based on race and potential!"
"Even if it's just a level 3 Earth Rat, it might not be worse than your Little Fei once it reaches Level 7."
"This is the power of emotional bonds!"
"Actually, when it comes to training magical beasts, your three opponents definitely didn't put in as many resources as you."
"But they all followed the basic rules of beast taming. They would never easily contract more magical beasts before raising the first magical beast to a state of perfect harmony between human and beast, in order to ensure the growth of the emotional bond between humans and magical beasts."
"In short, they are all elite Beastmaster with goals and ideals, otherwise they would not have become examinees of the Kede Beast Taming Pavilion."
"While you're distracted by four magical beasts, others are focused on raising just one. Even if they can't afford the same resources to support their beasts as you, the deeper emotional bond between them makes their beasts train more efficiently and draw more power from their masters during battles!"
"In this situation, it's not surprising that I could beat you."
Seeing Lily's increasingly aggrieved expression, Fengyun didn't want to discourage her too much, so he praised her, "But Lily, you don't need to take it too hard!"
"Although you lost the battle just now, your opponent won with great difficulty. That in itself proves that you are very capable."
Seeing Lily's slightly relieved expression, but still overall unhappy, Huihui snatched Lily away and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "Lily, come on, let's get revenge for you!"
Women understand women better. In situations like this, there's no need for comfort or grand principles; taking revenge is the best way to vent frustration.
With Huihui's first move, the examiners from the Beast Taming Hall immediately experienced the taste of utter defeat.
After all, she had been training Ma San for ten years, and she had never spared any effort in training him, nor was she short of any resources.
After changing the Beast Taming Contract Magic Array, his strength soared extremely quickly. Although Ma San was only Level 7 magical beast, his strength was already quite remarkable among Level 9 Magical Beast.
With the help of Huihui, a Saint Realm- level Beastmaster, defeating the Beast Taming Hall Master was not difficult at all. Even though the opponent had a contracted Level 9 Silver Dragon, it couldn't withstand Ma San's onslaught.
In fact, the owner of the Kede Beast Taming Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief after losing this battle.
Although the four members of Fengyun were all disguised, the owner of the pavilion was not stupid. He could not be an ordinary family that could equip his child with Thunderwing Pegasus, Lightwing Snow Eagle and Silver Dragon, which are all top-quality magical beasts among level seven, eight and nine magical beasts!
