The Chosen One

In this perilous world where resources must be acquired through combat, medical resources are extremely precious.

After a natal beast is injured, as long as its origin is not severely damaged, it can recover on its own by resting in its soul base.

Beasts contracted through the consumption of soul power require medical resources to heal them.

During exploration of secret realms, it is inevitable that the beasts will be injured.

However, awakening one's destined beast is not necessarily a good thing, because some beast tamers find that their awakened destined beast mutates into a special kind of creature.

These creatures are called Weirdos, and the beast tamers who possess Weirdos are called Weirdos Masters!

The Strange Beast can be raised like a normal Beast Tamer's Beast, but it can also feed on the Beast Tamer's Beast to quickly improve its rank and quality.

If a Beast Tamer is found to have awakened a strange phenomenon during the Soul Awakening process, that Beast Tamer will be immediately imprisoned.

The specific handling method was not made public, but the strange beast tamer who awakened during the soul awakening ceremony never appeared in the upper city again.

Every day, the Upper District of Star City is patrolled by the Ghost Suppression Bureau's Ghost Guards, which almost eliminates the possibility of awakened and bizarre Beast Masters appearing.

However, strange occurrences often happen in the lower city!

Many Beastmasters who have awakened their strange powers hide in the lower city, secretly hunting down Beastmasters who have awakened their normal innate beasts.

During the meal, Zhong Chenghuai carefully explained the knowledge about the soul awakening of beast tamers several times, afraid that Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling would not remember it.

Seeing Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling's expectant expressions, Zhong Chenghuai felt a tightness in his heart.

They were afraid that either Zhong Ling or Zhong Yi might awaken something strange!

If a supernatural being awakens during the Beastmaster Association's Soul Awakening Ceremony, it's likely that we'll never see it again!

After Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling went back to their room to rest, Zhong Chenghuai sat at the table all night.

Zhong Chenghuai was never this nervous when he participated in the soul-awakening ceremony back then.

There was one thing Zhong Chenghuai didn't tell Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling, because someone of Zhong Chenghuai's level simply couldn't verify the truth of it.

The true geniuses in legends are not those who awaken both their innate beast taming and beast master talents at the same time, but rather a group of beings whose innate beast taming is born with the power of rules.

These beasts, which are born with the power to control rules, are called Order Beasts!

The Beastmasters who control Order Beasts are called Chosen Ones!

Every time he thinks of this legend, Chung Cheng-huai can't help but sigh that "Chosen One" and "Order Beast" are truly enviable and awe-inspiring titles!

Although Zhong Chenghuai has never met the legendary Chosen One, he cannot verify the authenticity of the legend.

But Zhong Chenghuai believes that this legend is not false!

This legend wasn't something I was the only one who had heard it. It wasn't just in the upper and lower districts of Star City; the entire New Xia Federation had been circulating legends about the Chosen One.

If this legend were false, the official Star City authorities would have already denied it.

When Zhong Chenghuai first heard this legend, he also fantasized before his soul foundation awakened that his natal beast was born with the power of rules.

But it's just a thought!

Zhong Chenghuai didn't want to put too much pressure or expectations on Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling.

After all, as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

Zhong Chenghuai, who was sitting at the table, was unaware that a battle was taking place on South Cross Street.

Six men dressed in dark uniforms and wearing masks of the same color were forcing a hunched-over man, whose body reeked of blood so thick it was almost tangible, into a corner.

The hunched-over man suddenly looked up, a twisted, evil smile on his ordinary face.

The man raised his hand to wipe away the crimson, gel-like blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice.

"The people from the Zhengui Division are really annoying; they always have to disturb me while I'm eating."

"I didn't cross the line. I killed that guy in the lower city. I just didn't want any competition from my own kind, so I brought him to the border between the upper and lower cities to eat."

"You normal guys will never be able to experience the pleasure of devouring your natal beast. This pleasure is far greater than reproduction and mating or using those mind-stimulating little things."

When he got excited, his hoarse voice became tinged with madness and elation.

At the same time, a deep, cold voice rang out.

"You don't actually think we're interested in something as filthy as you, that's why we've listened to you for so long, do you?!"

"Barriers #4 and #5, activate!"

As the command was given, four bright silver spiders covered with vivid black and blue spots appeared in the void under the moonlight.

These four spiders had somehow managed to create a huge web, trapping this alleyway on South Cross Street.

As the spiderweb materialized in the air, a ripple and a tearing sensation appeared in the space around it.

These spiderwebs, which attach to the void, are constantly absorbing spatial energy from the environment to strengthen themselves.

This large net separated the alley from the surrounding buildings, both concealing the monster maker and protecting the residents living on South Cross Street.

Looking at the large net that suddenly enveloped him, the man who had just been talking about his natal beast taming preferences looked like a chick whose neck had been suddenly grabbed, his face showing fear.

"Spiders are forbidden on the virtual web!"

"You are not ordinary ghost-suppressing guards; ordinary ghost-suppressing guards do not have this kind of configuration."

"Could it be that you are...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the deep voice that had just spoken.

"You committed a murder on Chessboard Street, and two of the town's ghost guards almost lost their lives to you."

"You dared to hunt down Beastmasters who had awakened their innate Beasts, and you even targeted the Zhengui Guard. You should have expected this day to come."

"Number 6 will reinforce the barrier, and Numbers 2 and 3 will take him down."

As the command was given, the figure of six frost stars engraved on the left side of the mask activated the Soul Foundation.

A soft-bodied creature, the size of a truck, dripping slime, was summoned.

A clear and crisp voice rang out.

"Old friend, it's your turn to perform!"

Upon hearing the woman's voice, the truck-sized soft-bodied creature reluctantly began to wriggle.

Large amounts of mucus were secreted, slapping against the web spread out by the Voidweb Spider like crashing waves.

The slime solidifies immediately upon contact with the spider web. As more and more slime accumulates, the web becomes increasingly dense, seemingly isolating the world inside and outside the web entirely.

One after another, fist-sized eyeballs formed as mucus accumulated on the spider web.

All those eyes were fixed on the Beastmaster opposite them, and the air around him suddenly became thick and sticky.

The slime also transformed into chains the moment the cursed eye opened, attacking the beastmaster!
