Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

"Little Wood must have found a way to communicate with Master Qixing to secure so many resources."

"We have no idea what Little Wood has been doing locked away in his room. He'll come out once he's finished."

At this moment, Qi Qi glanced out the window to overlook the inner city of Sprouting City.

"Ah Kang, I know your ties to Ancient Genesis run deeper than mine. Heading to the Giant Beast World this time means we likely won't have an opportunity to return for a long time."

"If there's anything you need to tell your subordinates, it's best to do it now!"

Typically, Ling Kang handled more of Ancient Genesis's affairs. Several of the current Eight Evil Seeds of Ancient Genesis were personally promoted by him.

Ling Kang got up and walked to the window, gazing at the view of Sprouting City. Indeed, it was hard for Ling Kang to let go of Sprouting City.

Having ties now, Ling Kang also found it difficult to part with the subordinates he had nurtured.

But Ling Kang knew all too well that he needed to look forward.

One reason he was willing to venture into the Giant Beast World was to repay a debt, but beyond that, Ling Kang's determination stemmed from understanding how the journey would benefit him.

"Ah Qi, there's no sentimentality to cling to. Little Wood has already promised me that he will help care for Ancient Genesis in the future."

"Ancient Genesis is home not only to desperate, pitiable souls but also to the most wicked villains. To govern Ancient Genesis well, emotions must be set aside, and absolute rationality must prevail."

"Now that we've set foot in the Gods' Domain and rediscovered emotions, we're no longer fit to govern Ancient Genesis."

"Since Little Wood hasn't come out yet, he'll notify us through the Legend Butterfly when he does. Why don't you and I take a stroll out to the outer city?"

"I remember we first met in the outer city. Back then, the outer city was chaotic, nothing like the stability and prosperity it enjoys now."

Upon hearing this, Qi Qi stood up and took Ling Kang's hand, though Qi Qi's lips couldn't help but curl slightly.

The outer city of Sprouting City was now unrivaled as the largest hub for fencing illicit goods in the Beastmaster World. Practically all items that couldn't be revealed in public were brought to the outer city for processing.

Such an outer city could hardly be described as stable, but in terms of prosperity—it certainly was that.

As Ling Kang and Qi Qi headed to the outer city to bid farewell to Ancient Genesis, Fang Mu held the Polluting Object: Promotion-Spirit Mirage Crystal in the palm of his hand, which had already merged into his body.

Complex and peculiar violet patterns emerged on Fang Mu's forehead and cheeks.

Fang Mu's spiritual power radiated outward continuously, suffusing the surrounding environment and rendering the space slightly viscous.

Under the influence of the Promotion-Spirit Mirage Crystal, Fang Mu's spiritual power took on an exceptionally unique characteristic.

This trait, once touching another target's spiritual power, would induce changes in that power and bring it under the sway of Fang Mu's own spiritual force.

At this moment, the Promotion-Spirit Mirage Crystal successfully absorbed the pollution source [Gluttonous Soul Ruin], acquiring a new pollution function and advancing from Platinum Rank to Diamond Rank.

[Pollution Object Name]: Promotion-Spirit Mirage Crystal

[Contamination Type]: Enhancement Type

[Pollution Object Rank]: Diamond Rank (1/10)

[Pollution Object Element]: Spirit Series

[Pollution Object Potential]: Diamond

[Beast Quality]: Exceptional

Pollution Sources:

[Spiritual Gift]: Within a specified area, mass gatherings of spiritual energy and souls intertwine, merging to form a unique new lifeform. It uses immense spiritual power to proclaim the brilliance of the mind.

[Gluttonous Soul Ruin]: Amid places teeming with life, sculptures once imbued with Faith Power collapse. Corrupted by malevolent energy, the Faith Power within these sculptures begins to autonomously absorb ambient spiritual energy and souls, attempting to reshape itself. In its desperation, it entices life to die, converting owned spirits and souls into unowned entities.

Pollution Functions:

[Spiritual Attraction]: Amplifies one's spiritual power by merging it with the pollution object's energies, releasing it into the environment to impact other lifeforms' spirits and souls. This induces hypnotic suggestions. Once the target's spiritual power balances with one's own, the target can temporarily be controlled. A disconnected target can immediately perceive the release from control.

[Soul Draw Sacred Image]: Combines with the Contractor, using the Contractor's physical qualities as a sculptural foundation to amplify spiritual power, thereby enhancing its effects.

Fang Mu held little expectation for the new abilities gained by the Promotion-Spirit Mirage Crystal through the absorbed pollution source.

Fang Mu contracted the Promotion-Spirit Mirage Crystal primarily to enhance his spiritual power.

This would allow Fang Mu to elevate the ranks of the Guardian Beasts under his contract.

Although Fang Mu had low expectations for the crystal's newfound pollution capabilities, it still managed to pleasantly surprise him.

The crystal's new function, [Soul Draw Sacred Image], is an amplification ability that boosts Fang Mu's spiritual power in a unique, temporary manner. Because it requires active activation, it cannot provide permanent enhancement to Fang Mu's spiritual power.

Such an ability pales compared to those that passively and permanently increase spiritual power.

Nevertheless, the amplification style of [Soul Draw Sacred Image]—utilizing Fang Mu's physical constitution to elevate spiritual force—is remarkably unique.
