[Special task release seeking for Immortal Ladder Fragment: In Lingxi World, humans and beasts coexist harmoniously. Over the long years, a profession known as Beast Tamers emerged and became mainstream. Suddenly, a day came when the monster beasts went mad, hostile towards the humans, disrupting the harmony shared between man and beast. We need you to help the humans of Lingxi World fend off a nation-destroying beast wave]

[Task Reward: Immortal Ladder Fragment]

“Beast Tamer?” Upon seeing the term in the system description, Jiang Li naturally associated it with Beastmaster Academy.

“A nation-destroying beast wave, it seems that the beast waves in this world are quite powerful, the status of humans may not be optimistic.”

In Kyushu, among the nine major empires, only the White Marsh Emperor reigns over the monster beast empire, with a deep historical lineage and foundation. In addition, there is the Qingqiu Nation established by the great beast, which can’t be underestimated.

The Dragon Clans in the four seas also belong to the monster beast faction, occupying the back of the Kyushu continent, raising the average territorial occupation of the monster beasts.

Despite territory held by the monster beasts being greater than humans, their overall strength is slightly inferior.

The monster beast faction doesn’t have a Transcendence Tribulation stage expert, and only a few monster beasts in the Body Integration realm are capable. This puts them in an awkward position in Kyushu.

“Regardless, let’s go and take a look first.” Jiang Li did not believe that there would be a notable challenge in resisting a nation-destroying beast wave. The only thing which made him feel difficulty was a single point.

This was an assignment from five hundred years ago, and it was just released by the system now. He wasn’t sure how the human race in the Lingxi World fared and if they were wiped out or not.

“Everyone, please turn to the first chapter, second section. This forms a key part of the exam, please pay attention.” The history teacher, wearing heavy glasses, slowly opened his textbook. He had a colorful parrot resting on his shoulder, which looked somewhat dull.

“As mentioned last class, humans and monster beasts get along well and sign soul contracts. The souls of humans inherently contain great power. Upon forming the soul contract, they can help improve the power level of monster beasts. Monster beasts have strong bodies which can aid humans in construction. This is the initial outcome of the Beast Tamers’ profession.”

“However, two thousand years ago, beast traits drastically changed, becoming bloody and combative, hostile to humans. Initially, humans were under-prepared and were caught off guard by the monster beasts, forcing them to retreat and taking heavy losses. The majority of the territories gained by the monster beasts were originally owned by the humans.”

“The human body is frail and cannot compete with the monster beasts. Although technology is convenient for life, it poses no direct threat against monster beasts.”

“Fortunately, monster beasts who have a soul contract with us are still under our control. We utilize these monster beasts to combat the others.”

“In order to differentiate the ferocious monster beasts from the contracted ones, we refer to the latter as Contract Beasts.”

“Contract Beasts are our friends, monster beasts are our enemies.”

“In the process of the battle between the Contract Beasts and monster beasts, the Beast Tamer system became more established. Humans can not only boost the soul strength of the Contract Beasts, they can also aid in their rapid growth.”

“For example, the Parrot on my shoulder. When we initially formed the contract, it was only a one-star beast, but with my careful nurturing over time, it has evolved into a four-star Contract Beast.”

As the history teacher said this, he tampered his usual serious tone, played around with the parrot’s beak with his fingertips, and revealed a slight smile, as if recalling a youthful adventure with the parrot.

The students below looked at the history teacher with envy.

Contract Beasts are ranked from one-star to six-star, where one-star is the weakest and six-star the strongest. The history teacher’s four-star Contract Beast is already an achievement that most people cannot attain.

The students started to whisper among themselves, completely losing focus on the class. The history teacher, seeing the behavior of his students, simply shook his head helplessly, indicating understanding.

When he was their age, he was just as excited.

After all, they will be summoning their Contract Beasts and forging a contract this afternoon.

“Xia Chao, what kind of Contract Beast would you like to sign the contract with?”

“Isn’t that an obvious answer? It definitely has to be something cool, like the White Bone Rampaging Lion or the Blood Wing Fierce Tiger. These beasts are both domineering and have high potential.” Xia Chao talked about his two favorite Contract Beasts, his eyes shining.

“You sure have high hopes.” Xia Chao’s friend speechlessly replied, “These two are stereotypical four-star Contract Beasts and have a slight chance of breaking through to five-star. Their strength is unmatched within the same star ranking. Even if you can summon them, can you afford to raise them?”

“Hehe, I am just dreaming. People should always have dreams.”

The history teacher opened his mouth, but in the end, decided not to dampen his students’ spirits.

To sign a Contract Beast and become a Beast Tamer is both a honor and a responsibility, as they will all have to join the battlefield in the future.

Everyone in the Lingxi World is a Beast Tamer, yet even so, humans struggle to compete with the monster beasts. There are many monster beasts and they are powerful; the humans are at a disadvantage.

In these past two thousand years, the human race has lost many cities due to city-destroying beast waves, not to mention the nation-destroying beast wave.

Nation-destroying beast waves are rare, but terrifying. Two hundred and fifty years ago, one country was completely destroyed by such a wave.

The history teacher had been to the battlefield, barely managing to escape from a scene of utter destruction. After retiring, he chose to teach at the Beastmaster Academy.

Soon, the afternoon arrived. The Beast Tamer instructor had the students line up, allowing them to summon beasts one by one.

The student recited the hard-to-understand mantra quietly, with a series of patterns arising under his feet. This was the summoning array which they had been learning to invoke.

This student was very familiar with the summoning spell, completing the formation quickly, his voice full of urgency and high-pitched excitement.

When he recited the last syllable of the mantra, a halo ascended from the summoning circle. A completely black cat, with shiny fur, strolled leisurely out of the halo with graceful movements.

“It’s a Midnight Black Cat, three-star potential!” someone exclaimed.

At present, the Midnight Black Cat only had one-star. If well cultivated, and allowing it to evolve to its full form, it would be an elusive three-star killer.

The student was very satisfied with the black cat he had summoned. A person can only summon one Contract Beast in their lifetime, there’s no room for a do-over. He was content having summoned the lifesaving Midnight Black Cat.

He bit his thumb, producing blood. He then drew a line on his palm, slapped it on the black cat, and felt a sense of indescribable connection between him and the black cat.

This is the connection between a Beast Tamer and a Contract Beast.

“From now on, you’ll be named Xiao Hei.” The student held up the black cat, affectionately rubbing his face against the cat’s paw pad.

The black cat meowed, it wasn’t clear if it was an agreement or not.

“Contract Beasts will stay with you for life. You should treat them as friends.” Advised the Beast Tamer instructor.

“Yes, I will.” The student nodded immediately, “Even though Xiao Hei and I signed a master-servant contract, I will still treat Xiao Hei as a friend!”

The contract between a Beast Tamer and a Contract Beast is a master-servant contract. Once the contract is established, the Contract Beast cannot harm the Beast Tamer; this is for the protection of the Beast Tamer.
