Blue Star.

Hua Xia.

Chuan Ning City's Number One Middle School.

"Classmates, let me emphasize again, when awakening the Beast Controlling talent, you must focus entirely and visualize the patterns in the 'Beast Control Manual.'"

"The more specific and detailed the patterns you visualize, the higher the level of the talent you awaken could be!"

"As for the importance of the Beast Controlling talent, I believe each of you is well aware, so I won't say much more, good luck to you all."

After Principal Dong Yaoqing had finished speaking, he stepped aside.

At the front of the awakening array, the students from Class Six of Grade Three were both excited and anxious.

They were excited that after awakening their Beast Controlling talent, they would be qualified to contract with spirit beasts, and become Beastmasters.

What made them anxious is not knowing what level of talent they could awaken.

In this era of universal Beast Controlling, to a certain extent, the level of their Beast Controlling talent would directly determine their destiny.

"Brother Mo, have you chosen your object for visualization?" Sun Lei looked a bit worried as he turned to the handsome young man next to him.

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment before nodding his head, "I guess you could say I've chosen."

"What do you mean 'I guess'?" Sun Lei's eyes widened. "Brother Mo, you heard the principal's words too, this is not something to joke about."

"I understand, don't worry!" Lin Mo patted Sun Lei's shoulder, but only he himself knew how crazy the thing he was about to do was.

Actually, he is a person from another world.

Before crossing over, he had just received an admission letter from Peking University.

Who would have thought that after a single sleep, he would land in this world where everyone is a beast master.

Here, anyone who has reached the age of eighteen and passed the theoretical exam on beast taming has the opportunity to participate in an awakening ceremony.

If one activates the talent of beast taming, he or she has the chance to become a beast master.

And if one can awaken a high-ranking beast taming talent, he or she will instantly gain fame, becoming a sought-after prize by various forces, with a promising future.

As for the "object of contemplation" that Sun Lei mentioned...

In this world, everyone in their first year of high school receives a "Beast Atlas" from the school.

Inside are portraits of the 108 known formidable beasts in this world. When one is about to awaken a talent, they must select one to meditate on, in order to increase their chances of awakening a high-ranking talent!

The reason for Lin Mo's dilemma is because he feels that the divine beasts in the "Beast Atlas" are not strong enough.

This is not to say that these beasts themselves are not powerful.

Every beast that appear in the "Beast Atlas" could easily destroy a city; they are terrifying existences.

However, to Lin Mo's eyes, those powerful beasts pale in comparison with the legendary beasts from Earth's myths, falling far short.

Therefore, Lin Mo has a bold idea—to meditate on the divine beasts from Earth during the awakening.

He has even decided on the object of his perception — Dragon!

Descendants of Yan Huang, inheritors of the Dragon.

For him, there could be no more appropriate object for his perception.

However, it was clear that this carried a tremendous risk.

Because in this world, there is no such creature as a dragon, not even any related legends.

And the consequences of perceiving a creature not listed in the "Beast Control Catalogue" are unknown to anyone.

What if it leads to a failed awakening? That would be a loss that cannot be compensated.

Therefore, Lin Mo's object of perception has not yet been confirmed.

However, the awakening ceremony is about to begin, he no longer has time to hesitate, and he can only go for it.

"Zhou Jun, F-grade talent."

The educator in charge of the awakening ceremony announced solemnly as he watched the red glow on the magic circle.

"Ahhh..."

The student named Zhou Jun stepped down from the altar with a disappointed look on his face.

Beast control talents, ranging from low to high, are divided into nine grades: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.

F is the lowest and most common talent.

Awakening an F-Level Talent simply meant that he was eligible to become a Beast Master.

"Next, Lin Mo!"

Upon hearing his name, Lin Mo immediately stepped forward, standing in the center of the magic circle.

"You may start your visualization now. Remember, you must stay focused, and not be distracted," the dean of education reminded him once again.

Lin Mo nodded, drew a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

In his mind, the image of a giant dragon began to slowly emerge...

In Earth's myths and legends, there were many types of dragons, such as Ying Dragon, Jiu Dragon, Chi Dragon, Azure Dragon, and so forth.

At this moment, Lin Mo was visualizing the progenitor of dragons as recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" - The Candle Dragon!

The Candle Dragon, also known as Candle Nine Yin, had a human face, a snake body, and was completely red. It was thousands of miles long. Its opening eyes brought day, its closing eyes brought night, its inhalation brought Winter, and its exhalation brought about Summer. It didn't drink, it didn't eat, it does not rest, and it could summon the wind and call the rain...

According to legend, the Candle Dragon was born inheriting the will of Pangu and was the first colossal deity that appeared in the world after Pangu's death.

When it first awoke, it saw the world barren and devoid of life, realizing that the flow of time was still frozen in nothingness.

It then used its supreme magical power to separate the chaos of time, allowing the river of time to start flowing again. Hence, rocks gained sedimentary layers, trees formed growth rings, and all things had birth and death...

Another legend tells that when Gong Gong angrily collided with Mount Buzhou, though Nu Wa supported the four poles by chopping off the leg of the giant sea turtle, and mending the sky with her body, she still could not stop the catastrophe.

Because the leg of the giant sea turtle could never replace the celestial pillar.

Watching the sky collapse and the ground crumble, with creatures in distress, weeping, the world was on the brink of returning to chaos once again.

At that moment, the Candle Dragon appeared.

Its incredibly large body encircled the entire Buzhou Mountain Range, then spun its way around and climbed upwards, twining layers upon layers onto the Pillar of Heaven that pierced through the universe. Using its supreme divine power, it hardened, constricting the already broken Pillar of Heaven that was on the brink of collapse, and managed to tranquilize the universal catastrophe entirely, allowing all living things to escape disaster.

Then, it resurrected Nuwa with a breath of divine power and opened up a 'Heaven beyond Heaven' above the Ninth Heaven for the gods to reside...

All this showed the strength of the Candle Dragon!

As these scenarios appeared in Lin Mo's mind, the image of the dragon in his mind gradually became clear.

It was a red dragon, so large that words could not describe it.

However, compared to its huge body, the aura it exuded was even more terrifying. The mighty and grand domination that was emitted, the thousand-fold divine might, and the supreme pressure filled the whole universe as if they could make the heavens and earth bow down.

At the same time.

In the center of the magic array, a faint red light began to shine on Lin Mo.

As the glow appeared, it began to intensify at a visible speed.

This immediately invigorated the headmaster in charge of the awakening ceremony.

Awakening different levels of talent, the color that appears will also differ.

From F to SSS level, the corresponding colors are: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, silver, gold.

As the red light on Lin Mo became more intense, it indicated the possibility of changing to other colors.

In other words, Lin Mo may awaken talents above F level.

"Grade Eor Grade D?"

The principal was full of anticipation.

He obviously hoped that Lin Mo could awaken to a higher-level talent.

However, the hope was slim.

In Chuan Ning No.1 Middle School, Grade D was considered a fairly decent talent.

Grade C, in a grade with more than 3000 students, there would only be one or two at most each year.

As for Grade B, which was higher, he hadn't seen it in many years.

There was once a Grade B talent in the history of Chuan Ning No.1 Middle School.

The next day after the results came out, that student was picked up by a special person from the provincial capital.

Years have passed, and that person has already held an important post in the provincial capital, becoming a high-ranking official.

However, just as the principal was full of anticipation,

the red light on Lin Mo quickly disappeared.

At the same time, the awakening ceremony also ended.

"What a pity... Such a dense red light, why couldn't it advance further?"

The principal felt regret for Lin Mo.

"But I must tell the truth."

"Lin Mo, a F-level talent!"

"Dean, I'm not..." Lin Mo stopped speaking halfway through.

He wanted to tell the Dean that he didn't awaken an F-level talent.

However, due to a slight incident during his awakening, the light that shone from his body turned red.

But when he was about to tell the truth, he didn't know how to start.

Because he didn’t know how to explain what just happened to him.

Moreover, even if he told them, chances are no one would believe him, because it was too unbelievable.
