In the year 2368, Shenghai City, summer, Anxing District.
A rickety old fan spins rapidly inside a shabby old house, creaking as it goes. Although there's an air conditioner, it's long broken down and serves only as decoration.
Inside the room, a black-haired youth scrolls through the screen of his phone, quickly browsing the trending news online.
[Spirit Master Wang Yong spotted a dragon in the Spirit Realm's Luoxia Mountain and captured precious video footage!]
[The quarter-finals of the 17th Global Spirit Master Tournament concluded, with the Huaxia Team's captain Chen Ling effortlessly crushing the Egypt Team's 5 members with a flying serpent, leading the team to successfully advance!]
[The 2368 nationwide popular Spirit Beast voting has begun, come vote for your favorite Spirit Beast!]
...
All without exception relate to either Spirit Masters or Spirit Beasts.
"So I've transmigrated? That was too hasty, wasn't it?"
Chen Mo never imagined he would be chosen to join the ranks of the transmigrators.
It must be the end of the year, and even the mud truck drivers responsible for inter-world transport need to hit their targets.
Before Chen Mo could browse more information about this world, a sharp pain stabbed through his mind, followed by a blackout as a flood of memories swiftly flashed through his mind.
About two hours later, Chen Mo barely managed to roughly digest the memories of his original self.
The person he transmigrated into is also named Chen Mo, with height and appearance almost identical to his own, practically a parallel world version of himself.
However, unlike the previous world, he now resides in a Spirit World centered around beast taming.
Over 300 years ago, a giant "sinkhole" suddenly appeared at Yida Square in Shenghai City, Huaxia. This sinkhole connected to a world far more expansive than Blue Star, now known as the Spirit Realm.
The natural laws and rules of the Spirit Realm differ completely from those of Blue Star.
In the Spirit Realm, everything can possess a Spirit.
Animals, plants, elements, undead, machinery...
Even a book, a clod of earth, or a piece of text could develop spiritual intelligence and transform into a Spirit Beast.
Spirit Realm people, although they haven't developed technology like Blue Star, mastered the method of commanding Spirit Beasts, and such people are referred to as Spirit Masters.
After the initial violent clashes and conflicts between the two civilizations, they eventually chose peace, coexisting through mutual integration and exchange.
Spirit Realm humans embraced the convenience of technology, while Blue Star humans mastered Spirit Beast manipulation methods, extensively promoting them.
Today marks the era of universal spirit manipulation.
Knowledge such as "Meditation Method," "Spirit Master's Wilderness Survival Rules," "Spirit Beast Encyclopedia," "Spiritual Material Identification," and others related to Spirit Masters are incorporated into elementary and secondary school textbooks, aimed at cultivating more Spirit Masters.
The original Chen Mo was an ordinary student in the Spirit Manipulation Department of Shenghai City's First High School.
His greatest dream was to become an outstanding Spirit Master.
Unfortunately, becoming a Spirit Master isn't easy. Besides meeting the spiritual power benchmark and opening his own Beast Taming Space, the crucial part is having a Spirit Beast and abundant cultivation resources.
Chen Mo's parents went missing twelve years ago during a Spirit Realm exploration, leaving Chen Mo with an old house and over 500,000 in savings.
Chen Mo has lived with his grandmother since childhood, but last year his grandmother needed hospitalization due to a serious illness.
Now, the savings are down to below 50,000, despite Chen Mo working part-time since junior high during his spare time.
The price of a Spirit Beast alone was daunting, let alone the resources required for its subsequent cultivation.
However, the government does have policies for talented students with financial difficulties. If one opens a Beast Taming Space before turning 18, they can select a Spirit Beast Egg or a young Spirit Beast from the local Spirit Beast breeding base as their initial Spirit Beast.
Additionally, they can receive guaranteed cultivation resources every month until they graduate from university.
Of course, these are to be repaid.
Once the nurtured Spirit Master grows, they need to repay the resources they once received in equal measure.
It can be considered an interest-free loan or rather an investment.
Previously, the original aimed to open his Beast Taming Space before 18.
Unfortunately, his talent for spiritual power cultivation was quite average.
Even though he persisted with meditation daily, he's still a distance from the minimum spiritual power needed to open a Beast Taming Space.
"Bumpy start, but it's not a big problem."
Chen Mo murmured, maintaining a good mindset, feeling mostly curious and yearning for this Spirit World at this moment.
"Speaking of, what exactly is the Meditation Method, maybe I should try it first?"
Driven by the thought, Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and began meditating according to his memories.
Soon, he "saw" a swirling "nebula" in a slow rotation.
This "Stellar Twirl" is spiritual power, an unseen, untouchable magical force that could only be felt through meditation before the invention of spiritual power detection equipment.
Wait a minute! Something seems off!
The "Stellar Twirl" he "saw" now appears almost twice as large as he remembered!
It seems that with the transmigration, both spiritual powers have been compounded, already reaching the level where a Beast Taming Space can be opened!
"Is it to be expected of a transmigrator? Now that the spiritual power is up to standard, let's see if I can create the Beast Taming Space in one go."
The original memories informed Chen Mo that with enough spiritual power, opening a Beast Taming Space isn't difficult.
Having recalled the process of opening a Beast Taming Space carefully, Chen Mo soon began the practical aspect.
If successful, it meant he would have one foot in the realm of Spirit Masters!
Emptiness beneath emptiness, chi flows with intent...
Under Chen Mo's will, the spinning speed of the Stellar Twirl accelerated, faster and faster...
In an instant, the Stellar Twirl shattered, exploding with dazzling white light, like the dawn of creation.
"Succeeded!"
The scene before him was exactly what the original self longed for in dreams.
Chen Mo silently sensed the changes within him, finding the Stellar Twirl gone, replaced by a space of about 10 cubic meters.
This was the Spiritual Space.
After forming a contract with a Spirit Beast, Spirit Masters can retrieve the contracted Spirit Beast into the Spiritual Space. They can also check the basic information of the Spirit Beast through the Spiritual Space.
Furthermore, the growth rate of a Spirit Beast may slightly increase in the Spiritual Space.
"Huh? There's even an awakening of Spirit Master talent?"
While checking the Spiritual Space, Chen Mo discovered another surprise.
When humans open a Spiritual Space, there's a small probability of awakening a Spirit Master talent.
Spirit Master talents fall into three main categories—[Functional], [Enhancement], [Special].
The talent Chen Mo awakened was [Beast Language], a Functional talent.
Its effect allows understanding and communication with the languages of most Spirit Beasts.
Although this talent doesn't directly enhance battle power with Spirit Beasts, it's quite sought after.
In future Spirit Beast-related fields, careers like a Spiritual Beast Translator, a Spiritual Beast Breeder, and an arena host are all good options.
"Wait! There's not just one awakened talent this time!"
Soon, Chen Mo delightfully discovered that this awakening included not just one Spirit Master talent!
Indeed, he was destined.
As a transmigrator, possessing two Spirit Master talents was logical.
Browsing through the second Spirit Master talent unleashed, Chen Mo's mouth curled up broadly, unable to suppress his inner joy.
This is definitely a cheat-level talent!
His awakened second Spirit Master talent was called [Entry Training Manual], a Special talent.
When Chen Mo and his contracted Spirit Beast complete certain challenges, corresponding entries can be unlocked.
These entries can be equipped on the Spirit Beast or himself, thereby enhancing or diminishing certain abilities.
Focusing intensely, Chen Mo summoned the virtual Entry Training Manual, turning the first page.
Virtual light particles slowly gathered into lines of text.
Daily Challenges:
Thick Skin (White)
Within 10 minutes, endure 100 successive attacks of no less than 5 points strength to gain the [Thick Skin] entry.
[Thick Skin] Entry Effect: Slightly boosts defensive power and resilience against impacts.
Agility (White)
Travel over 1000 meters within 1 minute (without aid of any tools) to earn the [Agility] entry.
[Agility] Entry Effect: Slightly enhances movement speed and reaction ability.
Amateur Soul Singer in the Spirit Beast Realm (White)

Weekly Challenges:
Slacking Master (Green)
Do not exceed half an hour of training time daily and do not sleep less than 12 hours a day for 7 consecutive days.
[Slacking Master] Entry Effect: Your slacking off will be extremely difficult to detect.
Comedian (Green)
Perform a comedy, making at least 100 people laugh genuinely.
[Comedian] Entry Effect: Slight charm increase, your every move will entertain others.
Monthly Challenges:
Drunk Immortal (Blue)
Taste 10 types of rare-grade or higher wines within a month.
[Drunk Immortal] Entry Effect: In a drunken state, your battle strength considerably improves. The drunker you are, the better the effect.
[Note: Useless entries can be decomposed to acquire Entry Coins, which can be used to purchase items at the Entry Shop.]
Currently, the Entry Training Manual offers three types of challenges: Daily Challenges, Weekly Challenges, and Monthly Challenges.
The Daily Challenges include three, possibly refreshing white or green-grade entries, allowing only one challenge choice per day.
Weekly Challenges refresh with green and blue-grade entries, Monthly Challenges randomly with blue and purple-grade entries.
Higher-grade entries require upgrading the talent before appearing.
And each challenge type has one chance to refresh.
"The Daily Challenge entries, Thick Skin and Agility, both seem good, but I haven't contracted a Spirit Beast yet, making those challenges impossible to achieve."
As for the Amateur Soul Singer in the Spirit Beast Realm challenge, it was even more unlikely to be completed.
Chen Mo never doubted his singing ability, a true Soul Singer.
"Should I refresh it directly?"
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Suddenly, just as Chen Mo was relishing the joy of his talent awakening, a series of knocks came from outside the door.
