Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

"Hey, Randy." A crisp female voice came from outside, "Do you want to go out and have fun?" Qin Feng looked up to see the beautiful girl outside the window and then shook his head, "No, I have to go study natural magic with Lord Priest later, I don't have time." "Oh, well then." The beautiful girl outside nodded upon hearing this, not insisting any further, and turned to walk away, swaying her slender waist. After all, it wasn't just her Qin Feng had rejected; all the young ladies in the settlement were used to his rejections. In the room, another boy, much taller and more solidly built than Qin Feng, watched the beautiful girl leave before speaking enviously, "Randy, why don't you go out and play with Nikki? She's the prettiest girl around here. You can't learn magic in just a day or two; missing a few lessons occasionally won't matter, right?" The boy speaking was named Doru, Qin Feng's current roommate, who had been chosen three years earlier than him to come here and learn as a cult member. Qin Feng still lacked the ability to build his own cabin, so he had to live with this boy. He looked at Doru expressionlessly and said, "She seems to have other ideas about me, always trying to tempt me to play games in the river." "Wow?" Doru, who had just turned fifteen and was in his adolescent dreamy phase, heard this and his eyes lit up, recalling the wonderful dream he had had the night before, his mood becoming even more rippling. He said, "Then why are you still studying? Let's go find Nikki and play in the river." His heart was on fire, and he felt a bit envious of Qin Feng's luck with the ladies; chances he himself could not even beg for were being pushed away by this kid with an air of annoyance, which was truly infuriating. Qin Feng looked at Doru with a strange expression, "Are you sure?" "Of course." Doru's face brightened with a longing smile, "I've heard that Nikki is the most well-developed girl among all the girls, but I've never had the chance to see for myself. Hehe, Randy, we can't miss such a great opportunity. If you're really not interested, at least create a chance for me!" "Doru, it seems like pumping iron has made your brain go bad, hasn't it?" Qin Feng looked speechlessly at the robust boy in front of him, who resembled an iron tower, "Nikki is Great Elder Doron's granddaughter; surely you wouldn't dare to aim for her, would you?" Doru said carelessly, "What of the great elder's granddaughter? She will have to marry someone eventually." "She will marry someone, but definitely not you. I suggest you don't harbor such thoughts; otherwise, you might find yourself crying at her wedding." "Why?" Doru stubbornly said, "Although my current status is not good enough for her, once I become strong in the future, won't I be qualified to marry her?" "Unlikely." Qin Feng bluntly discouraged him, "You've been studying magic for three years and haven't even completed your first transformation. Nikki is even younger than you by a year, and she can already transform." "What? Already?" Doru stood there dumbfounded, "Last time I tested magic with her, she didn't have the ability to transform. How could she have achieved it so soon?" "Not sure." Qin Feng shook his head and said, "A few days ago, while I was practicing magic by the river, she, transformed into a demon snake, pulled me into the water and wrapped around me not letting me come up." "She wrapped around you?" Doru's eyes widened again. Qin Feng, helpless with this guy's focus always differing from others, continued to discourage him unabashedly, "Yes, she not only wrapped around me, but she also took me to where the women upstream were bathing and had me play hide-and-seek in the water with them." "It's your fault for being so good-looking." Doru said sourly, "I've been upstream once myself, only to be turned into a pig-head by those fierce women. Seriously, I didn't see anything, and Aunt Alice turned into a giant bear and nearly stomped me into the ground." "Haha..." Qin Feng laughed heartily, picked up the magic book from the desk, left the room, and headed towards where the priest taught magic. He wasn't as superficial as Doru; he was here to learn the druid's cultivation technique, not to fool around with the women here. If he wanted to fool around, there were plenty of beautiful fellow female cultivators in his sect, and in the Southern Domain, there were countless female cultivators, any number of whom were like fairies, much better than the women here. "Hey, hey, hey, are you sure you don't want to go have fun?" Doru, still not giving up, chased after him. "Not interested." Qin Feng glanced at him, "You should see that I'm not as old as you are; I don't have as many frivolous thoughts." "I... I don't have those thoughts." "Heh." Qin Feng curled his lips in disdain, "Last night, someone was talking in their sleep during a rather vivid dream, shall I describe it for you?" "..." Doru's face turned red in an instant, "Don't you sleep at night?" "I was asleep, but someone, like a wild boar in heat, kept grunting and woke me up." Doru wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, filled with mortification and regret, he immediately regretted coming out with Qin Feng. Qin Feng ignored him and walked straight towards where the priests were teaching. It was very close to the Forest Goddess's Divine Temple, built right next to the temple, so that these young men and women could constantly be in contact with the Forest Goddess and develop the good habit of worshipping her. As Qin Feng passed by the temple, he was without a single stray thought, even hypnotizing himself to feel a strong sense of gratitude and worship towards the Forest Goddess from the bottom of his heart, and respectfully bowed. Of course, with countless followers of the Forest Goddess, she wouldn't cast her gaze from the Divine Realm just because of his respect, and that was why he dared to openly impersonate a follower of the goddess—because the Forest Goddess wouldn't expose him. Obviously, his respectful demeanor pleased several nearby priests and Druids. These senior Druids were sharp-eyed, and if a person wasn't sincerely devoted to the Forest Goddess, they could usually tell to some extent. For example, Doru, who was following behind Qin Feng, was still distracted by Qin Feng's previous teasing, so his gesture of respect was much more perfunctory. While it didn't immediately brand him as disloyal to the Forest Goddess, it was clear that this attitude displeased the senior Druids somewhat, though Doru himself was completely oblivious to this. Qin Feng entered the room where seven or eight young men and women had arrived even earlier, who greeted him as they saw him. Qin Feng nodded slightly in acknowledgment. He had been here for half a year already, and during this time, he had shown exceptional talent beyond the ordinary, but he had been quite normal in other aspects and had not become smug due to his rapid learning, so he had not aroused any resentment among the young men and women. And the reason he had to show off his talent was mainly to save time; he had no desire to spend decades learning here, as that would be too much of a waste of time for him. Apart from learning at an astonishing pace during the priests' lectures, he would often immerse himself in the library, continuously absorbing various kinds of knowledge, whether it was introductions to the continent's history or various mythological epics, he did not miss any of them. Elder Kongkong had tasked him with gathering intelligence about this world, where history and myth held a great degree of credibility, so he read through these extensively. However, what he read the most were books related to magic. In just half a year, he had read all the magical books he could access. And during this time, he also learned quite a few Druidic magic spells. In fact, after truly mastering these things, Qin Feng realized that so-called magic was just another way of casting spells, not fundamentally different from the techniques he learned in the Beast Taming Sect, which were all about controlling one's own power and manipulating Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. However, Cultivators refine True Yuan and use Divine Sense to aid in casting spells, while Mages mainly cultivate spiritual power, absorb Elemental Power from the world, refine it into their own magic power, and when casting spells, use their spiritual power to connect with Elemental Power and their own magic power to outline a Magic Matrix as a primer for casting magic. Once Qin Feng understood the principles, casting magic became effortless for him, but since he still had to appear as if he had just learned magic and his spiritual power and magic power were still very shallow, he could usually only perform first or second-level minor spells for fun. Otherwise, if he had truly made an all-out effort, he would have even been capable of casting spells up to the seventh or eighth level. The priests clearly valued this talented young man highly, and seeing his rapid learning progress, they were very satisfied. Thus, more or less, they all showed him some degree of favoritism. Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand during daily teachings, they would try their best to explain it to him. Today's lesson from the priest was extremely important to Qin Feng. Because what the priest was going to talk about today was the method to advance to a formal Druid. This was exactly what Qin Feng had long yearned for, so naturally, he wouldn't miss this class. Compared to these cultivation techniques, playing with little girls and the like simply couldn't occupy a place in his heart. "Our Druids are not only adept at casting natural magic but also possess the ability to transform into demon beasts for battle." The elderly priest's voice was resonant: "Ten thousand years ago, when the hundred races of the continent waged war and demon beasts ran rampant, we humans were one of the weakest among them. At that time, the Giant Dragon Clan wreaked havoc upon the world, Giants dominated the continent, the Elf Clan mastered the secrets of the elements, and the Demon Clan created chaos everywhere. It was only with the descent of All Gods one day, demonstrating miracles and teaching us various methods of cultivation, that we of the Human Clan gradually grew stronger. At the same time, a variety of professions emerged: Druids, Mages, Warriors, Knights, Beast Tamers, Thieves, Assassins, and so forth, each with its own advantages." The old priest became more and more animated as he spoke, his voice growing increasingly fervent. However, Qin Feng always felt that this old fellow was beguiling them, the youths. After all, how many students had this old man taught in his lifetime, and how many times had he repeated these words? How could he be so passionate every time? At his age, wasn't he afraid that getting too excited might cause him to faint? Regardless of what Qin Feng thought internally, the words of the old priest were still filled with stirring emotions: "Our ancestors, the Druids, were a group of people from the Human Clan who lived in the forests and competed with demon beasts for food. Back then, they lacked formidable strength and powerful magic, only barely managing to survive at the forest's edge. Until the Forest Goddess descended, the merciful, kind, and great Forest Goddess sheltered our ancestors. She taught our pitiable Human Clan how to cultivate natural magic, giving us hope to heal ailments and survive. She taught us the techniques to transform into demon beasts for battle, allowing us to gradually grow stronger and no longer fall prey to those ferocious demon beasts. Then, through the development and growth of generations, we now possess this formidable strength, making all the powers of the continent dare not belittle us. It is the Forest Goddess who gifted us everything, so we should devoutly worship her. Only when our Power of Faith is pure enough, when we die, do we stand a chance of being led to the Forest Goddess's Divine Country, where we might be reborn." On the surface, Qin Feng, like the other youths, showed an excited expression, but inwardly he was cursing profusely. Wouldn't it be enough to just teach the techniques for transforming into demon beasts? Why all these useless words? Moreover, the Forest Goddess's imparting of magic was not without a price. She required your worship, and the stronger the strength of her followers, the more Power of Faith she would receive. Qin Feng did not know the situation of the Human Clan at that time; he did not know whether they were truly in peril or had the potential to rise on their own. But he was certain that, although the Human Clan was weak, there must have been some powerful beings among them; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to have survived so long on the continent, threatened by so many races and demon beasts. Thus, he was quite skeptical whether the descent of the gods was simply to train the Human Clan to become lambs offering them Faith. Divines that drew power from faith were always unscrupulous in their means, regardless of whether they appeared benevolent or malevolent, as fundamentally, there was not much difference between them.
