Chapter Summaries

Ling Yi opened the Five Elements Secret Realm and entered its fire domain, where he found a vast gathering of greater demons surrounding an enormous egg that he believed held the unborn Spirit of Fire. An emaciated old man watched from a tower at the realm’s center, while Ling Yi revealed himself and stripped the demons of most of their cultivation.

• Ling Yi killed Elder Qin and the effeminate young man, then traveled to the Five Rings Mountain Range and opened the Five Elements Secret Realm with five-element Spiritual Power.

Ling Yi questioned the trapped great demons, learned how the Spirits of the Five Elements and the secret realm’s opening were connected, and gathered the spirits and more than a hundred thousand demons. With Hu Yingying accompanying him, he headed for the secret realm’s center to seek the method of claiming its supreme treasure.

• Hu Yingying told Ling Yi that the Heavenly Wolf Domain's Andromeda Star Domain had used a Dual Vector Foil to defeat the Demon Clan, and warned him about its defenses and weapons.

Ling Yi, a god-grade beast tamer who had failed to contract any battle beast, faced the prospect of missing graduation and being sent to a safe logistics post. Just as he worried about disgracing his country, a system activated, though its bare-bones interface offered no instructions.

• Principal Zhao Jian warned Ling Yi that he had less than two months to contract a battle beast or he could not take the graduation assessment.
• Zhao Jian gave Ling Yi a business card and told him to seek a position in the Logistics Department of the Ancient Country War Preparedness Bureau if he still had no battle beast in a month.
• Ling Yi left the office, dismissing the pressure of public opinion but worrying that his failure would bring ridicule upon the Ancient Country.
• A blue progress bar appeared before Ling Yi, and system messages announced that its abnormal data had been adjusted and its system sprite uninstalled.
• Ling Yi opened the Battle Beast Template System interface and found only his blood vitality and an empty battle-beast list, with no instructions on how to use it.

Ling Yi tested his system at the Battle Beast Department, hoping it would let him contract a battle beast. After most uncontracted beasts showed that templates could not be generated, he found a Steel Armor Turtle with a God Grade Rapid Speed template and a prompt to bind it.

• Ling Yi saw that contracted battle beasts could not have their templates randomized, so he left school for the Battle Beast Department.
• A taxi driver encouraged Ling Yi to succeed and prove his critics wrong during the ride.
• Ling Yi arrived at the Battle Beast Department and entered its underground Mortal Pin beast park without registering or an escort.
• Ling Yi found that most uncontracted beasts could not generate random templates, then spotted a Steel Armor Turtle whose God Grade Rapid Speed template could be bound for an automatic contract.

Ling Yi bound a Steel Armor Turtle as his first battle beast after finding no other beast with an available random template. The contract awakened his Qi and Blood to First Tier, Pin 5 and gave the turtle God Grade skills, leaving Ling Yi imagining how its speed and defense could work together in battle.

• Ling Yi tested the system on the first floor, searched the other floors for a better battle beast, and returned when he found none.
• Ling Yi bound the Steel Armor Turtle to the God Grade Rapid Speed template, completing the contract.
• The system granted Ling Yi tenfold Qi and Blood feedback, raising him to 5,160 Qi and Blood, and enhanced the turtle with God Grade Defense.
• Ling Yi inspected the turtle's data panel and saw its aptitude bonus, God Grade skills, and Mortal Pin status.
• Ling Yi pictured the fast, heavily armored turtle crashing into an enemy like lightning.

After contracting the Steel Armor Turtle, Ling Yi learned that his fame put him at risk from the Beast Worship Sect and the Madhouse, so Yan Yunshan urged him to join the War Preparedness Bureau and gave him valuable supplies. Ling Yi asked Yan Yunshan to keep his contract secret until after his graduation trial, then discovered he could store his spatial ring inside the Battle Beast Space.

• Ling Yi summoned the Steel Armor Turtle for Yan Yunshan, and its growth had raised Ling Yi's blood Qi past ten thousand, reaching Awakening second tier first Pin.
• Yan Yunshan warned Ling Yi that the Beast Worship Sect and the Madhouse posed a greater danger than foreign spies, and offered to erase the footage or have him join the War Preparedness Bureau.
• Ling Yi chose to delay reporting his contract until after his graduation trial in two months, and Yan Yunshan agreed and gave him a spatial ring filled with potions and other materials.
• After Ling Yi returned to school, Yan Yunshan called someone named Shadow to come to Dafeng City, while Ling Yi found no useful information about the secret organizations online.
• Ling Yi tested whether the Battle Beast Space could hold his spatial ring and watched it appear on the Steel Armor Turtle's shell.

Ling Yi spent a peaceful half month at school while his Steel Armor Turtle's rapid growth raised his own strength, and he considered the threat posed by aberrant beasts and the debate over online criticism of his privileges. Principal Zhao Jian summoned him and brought up the Beast Worship Sect and the Madhouse, leaving Ling Yi to hear what prompted the question.

• The Steel Armor Turtle swallowed Ling Yi's storage ring, and he had to accept the loss of its supplies.
• Over half a month, the Steel Armor Turtle reached second tier, eighth pin, and its blood Qi feedback raised Ling Yi to third tier, eighth pin with 800,000 blood Qi.
• Ling Yi failed to contract a second battle beast and continued wondering why he could not randomize templates for other beasts.
• Principal Zhao Jian summoned Ling Yi from class as online figures criticized his divine pin talent and the privileges he had received.
• In his office, Zhao Jian mentioned the online controversy and asked Ling Yi whether he knew about the Beast Worship Sect and the Madhouse.

Zhao Jian explained the Beast Worship Sect, its threat to humanity, and the alliance’s plan to attack Zhanpuneisi for a not-yet-hatched Divine Pin war beast. Ling Yi chose to go, then revealed he had already contracted a Steel-Armored Turtle, leaving Zhao Jian relieved and eager to learn more.

• Zhao Jian told Ling Yi that the Beast Worship Sect enslaved humans through psychic alien beasts and that its members gained power by integrating with war beasts at the cost of irreversible transformation.
• Zhao Jian explained that the Human Beastmaster Alliance would assemble in two months and attack Zhanpuneisi, where a Divine Pin war beast was expected to hatch.
• Zhao Jian said the Ancient Country would lead much of the campaign because Ling Yi was the only person on Blue Star able to contract a Divine Pin war beast, and Ling Yi chose to go to Zhanpuneisi.
• Ling Yi revealed that he had already contracted a war beast, and Zhao Jian reacted with excitement and relief when Ling Yi opened his war beast space.
• Ling Yi told Zhao Jian that Uncle Yan knew about the contract, and Zhao Jian explained that Yan was his former teacher, a sixth-tier beastmaster whose cultivation could be restored with a Ninth Tier psychic alien beast’s crystal core.
• Ling Yi said his contracted war beast was a Steel-Armored Turtle.

Ling Yi learned that the War Preparedness Bureau had thwarted thirty-four assassination attempts against him over three years, at the cost of fourteen lives, and resolved to grow strong enough to destroy the Beast Worship Sect and the Madhouse. After reflecting on the sacrifices and care that gave him a sense of belonging, he discovered that his Steel Armor Turtle had advanced to the third tier and raised his Blood Qi to the fourth tier.

• Zhao Jian advised Ling Yi to skip the graduation trial, but Ling Yi insisted he needed to face danger and honor the people counting on him.
• Zhao Jian revealed that the War Preparedness Bureau had stopped thirty-four attempts on Ling Yi's life, with fourteen people killed, and said the Beast Worship Sect and the Madhouse were responsible.
• Zhao Jian explained that the Madhouse had killed four immortal pin beast tamers while seeking a way to devour Battle Beast Spaces, and that Lan Yanxue had crushed its branches in the Ancient Country.
• Ling Yi asked for the names of the fallen beast tamers and learned that divine pin mental power gave his battle beast a ten-point aptitude bonus and divine pin initial skills.
• Ling Yi reflected on his past, the original owner's death, and the sacrifices and care that helped him feel he belonged in the Ancient Country.
• The Steel Armor Turtle advanced to the third tier, and Ling Yi's system showed his Blood Qi had reached 1,000,160, placing him in the fourth tier, first pin.

Ling Yi tested the Steel Armor Turtle’s new God Grade Recovery skill and its speed, then learned that his graduation trial would likely take place in the dangerous Azure Plain Secret Realm. The trial was one week away, and Ling Yi kept his successful contract with the turtle secret as he planned to visit the Battle Beast Department.

• Ling Yi tested the Steel Armor Turtle’s God Grade Rapid Speed and found it could reach roughly 1,000 meters per second, while its God Grade Recovery could rapidly restore its body and Qi and Blood.
• Ling Yi ignored the growing online criticism calling him a trash Divine Pin beast tamer, though he noticed that people around him treated him differently.
• Liu Hong announced that the graduation assessment was one week away and said the trial would likely be held in the Azure Plain Secret Realm, where the strongest exotic beasts were First Tier, Second Pin.
• Liu Hong warned the students to study the secret realm’s exotic beasts and their weaknesses after they worried about the danger and deaths in past trials.
• Liu Hong asked Ling Yi about his future and urged him to keep visiting the Battle Beast Department, while Ling Yi concealed that he had already contracted the Steel Armor Turtle and said he would visit after eating.

Ling Yi learned about the Madhouse’s dangerous research and received an incomplete Qi-and-blood technique from Yan Yunshan. At the Battle Beast Department, he contracted a Swiftness Monkey with a Son Goku template, then returned to Yan Yunshan, who asked which beast he wanted to report as contracted.

• Yan Yunshan explained that the Madhouse had developed cultivation methods and equipment for beast tamers, and warned Ling Yi that the organization was an enemy of humanity.
• Yan Yunshan gave Ling Yi an incomplete Madhouse technique that could help him control and conceal Qi and blood, but warned that absorbing power from the Battle Beast Space would weaken battle beasts and eventually destroy the space.
• Ling Yi visited the beast garden and used his system to contract a low-aptitude Swiftness Monkey, gaining Qi and blood and synchronizing with its Son Goku transformation skill.
• Ling Yi summoned the golden-furred monkey and told Yan Yunshan not to underestimate it, while Yan Yunshan advised him to seek a higher-pin battle beast.
• Ling Yi checked the other floors but found no other beasts available for random templates, and Yan Yunshan asked which beast he would report as contracted in seven days.

Ling Yi arrived at the Azure Plain Secret Realm entrance riding his third-tier Steel Armor Turtle, revealing that he had successfully contracted a battle beast. After explaining that influencers had delayed him and the War Preparedness Bureau had arrested them, he stood ready to enter the graduation trial.

• Ling Yi chose to report only his Steel Armor Turtle and spent the days before the trial stocking supplies in his battle beast space.
• Students gathered at the Azure Plain Secret Realm entrance, where they admired Lan Yanyu's Two-Headed Iron-Wire Flood Dragon and Shen Bin mocked Ling Yi for supposedly having no battle beast.

• Shen Bin and other students lowered their heads as Ling Yi explained that obstructing a student from attending the trial carried a minimum ten-year sentence.

Ling Yi entered the Cangyuan Exotic Beast Secret Realm for the graduation trial and began to open up to his classmates after years of isolation. He formed a team with his entire class and sent his Steel Armor Turtle to clear their path.

• Ling Yi summoned his truck-sized Steel Armor Turtle and told it to clear the way.

The Beast Worship Sect’s hidden members in Dafeng City discussed how to kill Ling Yi, a divine pin beast tamer whose growth threatened the beasts’ plans. They decided to wait until his graduation trial and arrange a high-tier secret realm invasion to draw off the War Preparedness Bureau.

• News spread that Ling Yi had contracted a Steel Armor Turtle, while authorities banned hostile accounts and cracked down on their operators.
• Lin Hao, Lü Xin, Zhang Wen, and Zhang Wu met in Dafeng City and discussed Ling Yi’s strength and the orders to kill him.
• Zhang Wen explained that Ling Yi’s divine pin talent could make his battle beast exceptionally powerful, so they needed cannon fodder to test his abilities before acting.
• Zhang Wen speculated that the beasts were keeping Lan Yanxue alive as a controllable seed and feared Ling Yi could disrupt their invasion plans.
• The four agreed to wait until after Ling Yi’s graduation trial, and Zhang Wen revealed that their master had alerted the beasts’ higher-ups, who might open a high-tier secret realm in Dafeng City to trigger an invasion.

Ling Yi led his classmates through the Azure Plain Secret Realm, where his Steel Armor Turtle’s overwhelming presence kept strange beasts away. After Song Luoxue’s attempts to distribute points fairly led most of the class to split up, Ling Yi, Song Luoxue, and Cong Fei remained together and set out to farm points.

• Ling Yi’s classmates marveled at the Steel Armor Turtle, while Shen Bin dismissed it and argued with those praising Ling Yi.
• Ling Yi put away the Steel Armor Turtle, and the group began encountering Fanged Mountain Rats after it stopped scouting ahead.
• The students defeated the first two groups of rats, but Song Luoxue’s efforts to let everyone share points frustrated classmates who wanted to compete on their own.
• More than half the students left the party in smaller groups, leaving Ling Yi, Song Luoxue, and Cong Fei together.
• Ling Yi explained that the graduation trial was an exam and a competition, then led Song Luoxue and Cong Fei off to farm points.

Ling Yi led Song Luoxue and Cong Fei to a Fanged Mountain Rats’ nest and used his Steel Armor Turtle’s God Grade Rapid Speed to wipe out most of the swarm, sending their points soaring. As teachers debated Ling Yi’s growing visibility and the threat against him, the group later faced a swarm of Silver Wings Poison Bees that threatened Song Luoxue and Cong Fei.

Ling Yi contracted the Silver Wings Venomous Bee Queen with the God Grade Summon template, gaining its summoning and corrosion skills and driving off its swarm. He camped with Song Luoxue and Cong Fei, then discovered that God Grade Summon had restrictions when he tried to use it.

• Ling Yi hid Song Luoxue and Cong Fei beneath the Steel Armor Turtle while the Silver Wings Poison Bees attacked, then bound their queen with the God Grade Summon template.
• Ling Yi received the queen’s skills and attributes, realized he could summon millions of bees with his Qi and Blood, and ordered the swarm to leave.
