Chapter 30: The Art Of Beast Taming
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this moment, Lei Yuan’s cultivation was still not adequate enough, and he relied on the system’s help to increase his strength.
However, he still needed to try.
Lei Yuan found a relatively quiet spot and sat down to meditate. He did as Lotti said; he cast aside all distracting thoughts, and tried to be one with nature.
This sounded easy on paper, but how could one actually achieve it? What should one do?
It would be great if Lei Yuan could get the feeling of being one with nature by just chanting the word “nature” in his heart.
But in reality… The more he tried to calm himself down, the more restless he felt in his heart.
Because of how quiet his surroundings were, Lei Yuan’s thoughts were running wild. He started thinking about all kinds of things, such as what happened before he came here, his involvement with Lotti and Ofia, and his future plans. His brain was a mess. He could not even calm down, let alone be one with nature.
Meditation was a test of patience, but he tried to persevere.
Lei Yuan just sat there and did nothing, and before long, he could no longer sit still. However, in order to learn the beast taming art, he suppressed the impatience in his heart and continued to sit in place without moving.
Lotti looked at his solemn face as he meditated and thought that he might be able to reach enlightenment.However, after a few hours, Lei Yuan did not feel that anything had changed at all.
He finally could not hold it in any longer. He opened his eyes and saw Lotti sitting across from him. She was meditating as well. “What happened? Why don’t I feel anything?”
Lotti seemed to have entered a state of cultivation and only opened her eyes after a long time. Lotti also found Lei Yuan’s question strange.
“You’re so gifted. Logically speaking, you shouldn’t be able to fail.” She thought that he would be able to pick it up quickly. However, things like cultivation could never be forced. Thinking of this, Lotti felt that Lei Yuan’s current situation was very natural.
“It’s alright,” she consoled. “Since you can’t perceive it, you shouldn’t force it.”
‘What do you mean by that? Are you giving up on me?’ Lei Yuan hesitated.
Since he could not feel anything, it meant that he could not cultivate. There would be no results even if he kept on trying.
Should he just give up? He would not consider this a loss. All he had done was just waste two days of his time accompanying Lotti…
However, he could be considered to have completed his end of the bargain. It was just that he did not have the talent to cultivate beast taming arts.
“What are you thinking about? You are the most talented person in the world! If you can’t cultivate, that just means that you haven’t found the right way yet!” The system hurriedly reminded him. Without mentioning this, Lei Yuan would probably have given up on cultivating the beast taming art.
“Then can you teach me how to do this? You saw what happened just now. I really couldn’t sense anything.”
“You haven’t even cultivated that much, and your foundation is lacking. How would you be able to sense anything?” The system said helplessly, “You can’t rush things like cultivation. However, as long as you persevere, the results will come. You’ve only practiced this spell for less than a day. It’s normal that you haven’t made any progress.”
‘That’s true.’ Lei Yuan thought about it. He would try something else later. ‘If it really doesn’t work…’
“This beast taming art is very powerful.” The system seemed to know what Lei Yuan was thinking and wanted to persuade him to continue practicing. “Not only can the beast taming technique control fierce beasts, it can also strengthen all its attributes such as attack and defense. If you don’t learn it, then just relying on Charm won’t do.”
‘It’s that powerful?!’
Lei Yuan did some calculations in his head. If he relied solely on Charm, he might not be able to control ferocious beasts if their level was higher than his. It would be easier to do so with the beast taming technique.
As for raising the level of the beasts, it would be of great help to increase their attacks during battle. There was nothing to lose from learning this spell.
Very soon, Lei Yuan made his decision and replied to Lotti, “I’ll continue cultivating. I must learn this spell!”
To Lotti, his reaction was a little strange. Why did he suddenly become so resolute? However, since he wanted to continue practicing, she would teach him.
“From now on, I’ll train you every day.”
Lotti thought that the training would give her more time to spend with Lei Yuan in the future.
Anyway, she was not going to return to her country any time soon. Moreover, getting to spend more time with Lei Yuan made her very happy.
At this moment, Ofia suddenly appeared. “The Radiant Knight still has official duties he needs to attend to daily. It would be very inappropriate for you to spend all your time with him.”
Ofia had thought that Lotti would return to her country after two days.Who would have thought that she would continue to stay here?
If she stayed here, there would always be a third wheel between Ofia and Lei Yuan, making it difficult for Ofia to do what she wanted.
Lei Yuan waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll quickly finish my work and use the remaining time to cultivate.”
“But…” Ofia narrowed her eyes. “Ambassador Lotti cannot visit your office. It’s a sensitive military location in our country!”
“Tsk, I won’t go. Who cares about your country’s secrets?”
Lotti pursed her lips. She knew what Ofia was thinking. She was just looking for an excuse to separate the two of them. However, she did not care about what she was doing. As long as she could see Lei Yuan every day, she was satisfied.
With that, Ofia could not say anything more. She could only remind Lei Yuan not to delay his official duties, which Lei Yuan agreed to.
After Ofia left, he said, “Then let’s meet here every night from now on.”
He had to learn this spell. It was not his style to give up at the first obstacle he encountered, especially soon after starting.
“Alright.”
After that, the two of them cultivated together every night. In the first few days, Lei Yuan still did not make any progress. But slowly, he finally found a way to grasp the initial stage of the beast taming art.
“That’s amazing!” Lotti was a little surprised. “When I was cultivating, my rate of improvement wasn’t as fast as yours.”
Indeed, the person she fancied was amazing!
Now that he had found a way, Lei Yuan planned to continue cultivating.
Lotti suddenly suggested, “Why don’t we go celebrate tomorrow? You’ve been working or cultivating these past few days. Your lifestyle has been too tiring. Let’s take a break this time.”
Lei Yuan thought that it would be good to take this opportunity to rest. He nodded at first… but then he shook his head. “I can rest, but I want to go out alone, not with you.”
Lotti was speechless.
Lei Yuan thought, ‘ It’s better to avoid her. But if she doesn’t want to, I can’t force her.’
“Alright, then go relax by yourself. I won’t bother you.” Although she said that, Lotti had other plans in mind.
If she could not go with him, could she not still “bump” into him by chance?
So the next day, Lei Yuan met Lotti face to face on the street by chance.
“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Lotti said as she started following him.
“It is indeed a coincidence.” Lei Yuan pulled away from her.
Although he did not know if she followed him on purpose, but since they “bumped” into each other, he couldn’t simply ask her to leave. It wasn’t a big deal to walk around together, and it was not a good enough reason to chase her away.
The two of them walked toward the crowded marketplace together.
