Chapter 7: Chapter 2 Different Destinies (Seeking Investment and Followers)_3
In this situation, only the older generation of Beast Tamers could temporarily hold the line, while others worked together to explore entirely new paths to strength. Among them, a portion of humanity proposed abandoning the Beast Tamer path entirely and, after much hardship and difficulty, discovered the path of martial arts.
Martial arts represent another possibility for humankind under the radiation of Ghost Energy Stones, where humans strengthen their bodies by hunting Alien Beasts and harvesting resources from them. With the emergence of martial arts, human powerhouses could defeat Alien Beasts relying on their own strength, instead of commanding Alien Beasts in battle.
And this path is mutually exclusive with that of the Beast Tamers.
The second realm of martial arts is called the Meridian Opening Realm, where one must open up meridians within the body to channel the martial force known as “Yuan Force,” and opening these meridians requires drawing on the power of the Beast Taming Space. As the meridians continue to be opened, the Beast Taming Space will irreversibly weaken until it disappears completely, naturally making it impossible to become a Beast Tamer.
Once the Beast Taming Space reaches the second order, its stability greatly increases, and no longer can its power be drawn upon to open up the meridians. Therefore, Beast Tamers practicing martial arts can at most only reach the first realm, the Body Refining Realm.
As the new generation of Beast Tamers weakened, martial arts rose rapidly. After several martial artists capable of directly confronting Immortal Rank Alien Beasts appeared, the conflicts between the two sides completely turned around, with humanity beginning to suppress Alien Beasts on a large scale, eventually achieving complete victory over them.
Under the pressure of human martial artists, Immortal Rank Alien Beasts were forced to abolish the Alien Beast Ban. With the cancellation of the Alien Beast Ban, the lineage of Beast Tamers began to rise again, and various methods of evolution and cultivation had the conditions to be researched. Under the protection of martial artists, they developed over a thousand years into what they are today.
In today’s Divine Martial World, the paths of cultivation for humans are divided into Beast Tamers and martial artists, with martial artists of the same level able to crush Beast Tamers, leading to Beast Tamers gradually becoming a support occupation.
For example, Doctor Ye specializes in contracting various types of healing pets and providing treatment as a Beast Tamer.
The reason for this is that Beast Tamers are inherently fragile. When facing a martial artist, the opponent doesn’t even bother with the pet’s attacks and directly targets the Beast Tamer for an attack, crushing the Beast Tamer instantly.
Beast Tamers on the Blue Star have the same problem, but it was fully compensated by Qin Yunzhang, the chief scientist of the Yanhuang Alliance, who developed Guardian Beast Co-operation several decades ago. However, the Divine Martial World does not have similar technology.
Guardian Beast Co-operation can only be learned after entering Beast Tamer University, and at this moment, Lin Su felt a bit of regret.
If Guardian Beast Co-operation could be replicated here, it could serve as his Golden Finger in this world.
According to Azura, his predecessor fell into the pond in the backyard while drunk and was finding breathless when discovered. Though some precious medicines saved him, his body was still very weak.
Not long after waking up, Lin Su already felt a sense of weakness spreading throughout his body, and lying down made him feel a little better.
With his body in such a state, it was clearly not possible to contract a beast immediately; he would need to recuperate for a while longer.
After drinking the restorative medicine, Lin Su felt a warm sensation throughout his body as if he were soaking in a hot spring, followed by a wave of drowsiness slowly overtaking him.
He fell asleep again.
“Ding Ling Ling~”
The familiar sound of the alarm clock rang, Lin Su stretched out his hand to grope for it and turned off the communication device that served as an alarm clock beside his bed.
Wait, a communication device?
His hand froze mid-air, and his eyes snapped open.
Didn’t I… transmigrate?
