Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Here is the translated text:

After Fang Mu finished collecting those pollutants and pollution sources, he remained in his room, preparing to perform the contract ritual with the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal in a few days.

Four days later, Fang Mu condensed another drop of Covenant Blood Essence and directly dripped it onto the unremarkable-looking Spiritual Nightmare Crystal in his hand.

The moment the Covenant Blood Essence touched the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal, the soul and spiritual energy within it began to fluctuate rapidly.

An aura of malevolence and ominousness emanated from inside the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal.

Yet Fang Mu felt no tension at all, as he knew contracting pollutants through Covenant Blood Essence carried no risks.

Although there was no risk involved, when the spiritual power from the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal seeped into Fang Mu's mind, he could distinctly perceive his own spiritual power increasing rapidly.

This increase in spiritual power was solid and reliable, akin to the enhancements he had previously received from the Spirit Mayfly.

However, the sudden surge in spiritual power not only gave Fang Mu a clearer perception of the world, but also made his brain feel somewhat swollen.

This sensation was similar to being drunk, and it took Fang Mu half a moment to adapt to the sudden influx of spiritual power.

Previously, Fang Mu was merely a Biprong Star Beast Master, but the moment he contracted the special-grade pollutant Spiritual Nightmare Crystal, his spiritual power advanced to the peak level of a Biprong Star Beast Master!

He was just a step away from crossing into the tier of Three-pointed Star Beast Masters!

Excitedly, Fang Mu used the innate divine ability "Eye of Omniscience" from the Fool's Shadow to investigate the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal.

[Pollutant Name]: Spiritual Nightmare Crystal

[Contamination Type]: Enhancement Type

[Pollutant Level]: Bronze Stage (1/10)

[Pollutant Series]: Spirit Series

[Pollutant Potential]: Silver Stage

[Beast Quality]: Special-grade

Pollution Source:

[Spiritual Gift]: Within a region plentiful in spirals of soul and spirit energy, these ownerless energies merge to form a unique life entity, announcing the brilliance of spirit with grand self-sustained spiritual power.

Pollution Function:

[Spiritual Attraction]: Enhances one's own spiritual power, fusing it with the energy of the pollutant and projecting it onto the environment. This influence can hypnotize or suggestive-control other life forms' spirits and souls. Once the spiritual power of the target matches one's own, the target becomes controllable for a short time; however, as soon as the target breaks free, it becomes instantly noticeable.

The Spiritual Nightmare Crystal, formed from the pollution source [Spiritual Gift], not only heightened Fang Mu's spiritual power but also allowed him to influence others' spiritual power, gradually asserting control over other beings.

At present, Fang Mu had just contracted the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal, with his spiritual power only at the peak of Biprong Star Beast Master level.

Currently, Fang Mu's application of the Spiritual Attraction ability could likely only affect Beast Masters below Four-pointed Star level.

However, [Spiritual Attraction] holds immense potential. As Fang Mu's spiritual power grows, this ability becomes increasingly stronger, making its upper limit extraordinarily high!

With the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal absorbing additional pollution sources and its contamination level steadily rising, Fang Mu's spiritual power will continue to strengthen.

Once the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal reaches Sequential-level, Fang Mu should be able to effortlessly control Sequential-level Beastmasters and beasts, attaining invincible status below Order-level.

Unless the target Fang Mu attempts to control has methods to safeguard their spiritual energy.

When the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal has absorbed two pollution sources and reached Sequential-level five or above, Fang Mu can attempt to manipulate Order-level entities.

In controlling targets by spiritual power, the greatest fear lies in the target utilizing their regained autonomy to retaliate.

[Spiritual Attraction] includes a warning mechanism, alerting Fang Mu immediately if control is severed.

Fang Mu did not immediately have the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal absorb another pollution source; waiting for it to advance to Platinum Stage before doing so was the most prudent approach.

Additionally, there must be sufficient time between absorption events. Otherwise, if a new pollution source mixes in before the previous one fully integrates, severe consequences could occur, resulting in mutations within the pollutant.

Should such mutations arise, contractors would find themselves in peril.

Fully aware of the risks, Fang Mu was not about to act recklessly.

Fang Mu began nourishing the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal with Pollution Medicine. With these pure energies, the Crystal's growth advanced rapidly.

In less than three days, the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal successfully reached Platinum Stage.

Fang Mu's spiritual power had now advanced to the mid-level of a Three-pointed Star Beast Master.

Not only did Fang Mu overcome one major tier, but he also ascended a minor tier within that major tier.

With the combined support from the Spirit Mayfly and Infinite Silver Silkworm, Fang Mu's spiritual power now rivaled that of Five-pointed Star Beast Masters.

Typically, ordinary Beast Masters refrain from attempting to push their beasts to Sequential-level prematurely, as advancing to this tier transforms the beast's life level, causing a surge in spiritual energy that could overburden the Beast Master.

Generally, Beast Masters wait until they themselves reach Six-pointed Star level before advancing their beasts.

Fang Mu smiled and took out a pollution source suited to the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal, named [Gluttonous Soul Ruin].

[Gluttonous Soul Ruin]: In a place teeming with vitality, sculptures filled with Faith Power crumble. The Faith Energy within the sculptures becomes contaminated by evil forces, instinctively absorbing surrounding spirit and soul energies. It attempts a self-reconstruction using these energies but, in its desperation, induces death in life forms, turning their owned spirits and souls into ownerless ones.

The pollution source [Gluttonous Soul Ruin] is extraordinarily powerful, comparable to the likes of Ten Thousand Abyssal Jaws.

Fang Mu mused that, to safely enable the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal to absorb [Gluttonous Soul Ruin], he would likely need to provide copious amounts of Blood Aged Wine to ensure no mishaps.

He hoped that once the absorption was complete, his spiritual power—amplified by the Spirit Mayfly and Spiritual Nightmare Crystal—could reach the level of a Six-pointed Star Beast Master, allowing his Guardian Beast to smoothly advance to Sequential-level.

As Fang Mu initiated contact between his Spiritual Nightmare Crystal and the pollution source [Gluttonous Soul Ruin], he could feel the Crystal's deep hunger for it.

The two entities engaged in a tug-of-war.

The Spiritual Nightmare Crystal sought to absorb [Gluttonous Soul Ruin], while [Gluttonous Soul Ruin] attempted to claim dominance and even integrate the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal into itself.

Fang Mu diligently provided the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal with pure pollution energy while pouring Blood Aged Wine onto it.

At last, the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal fully subdued [Gluttonous Soul Ruin]; all that remained was to await the passage of time.

As the Spiritual Nightmare Crystal consumed [Gluttonous Soul Ruin], Fang Mu's spiritual power surged further.

Meanwhile, Ling Kang and Qi Qi sat together, observing each other's pollution sources. As intimate partners, it was natural for them to familiarize themselves with each other's pollution sources.

This ensured optimal synergy during battles.

With his lifespan concerns resolved, Ling Kang and Qi Qi now faced no obstacles between them.

This caused their relationship to deepen rapidly.

Ling Kang hadn't seen Fang Mu for two or three days and couldn't help but inquire of Qi Qi.

"Ah Qi, do you think we should invite Fang Mu to visit that sanctuary we control? That location is nearing its resource exhaustion and is practically desolate now."

"We've saved several valuable items for our last harvest. Calculating the timing, the auspicious plant at the center of the sanctuary should be ripe by now!"

"The fruit produced by that plant doesn't hold much value for the two of us, but for someone like Little Wood, a traditional Beast Master, it could be highly beneficial."

Upon hearing Ling Kang's suggestion, Qi Qi gently shook his head.

"I originally planned to bring Little Wood with us to the sanctuary. However, rather than inviting him right now, it would be better to wait until he comes out of his room and invite him then!"
