The Primordial Tamer

After the sightseeing, they continued their tour of the training area. The sect master led Orion to a secluded grove, where a serene pond lay nestled among ancient, towering trees. The atmosphere here was markedly different from the intense energy of the training fields; it was a place of calm and tranquillity, where one could find solace and reflection amidst the rigours of training.

"This place holds a special significance within our sect," the sect master explained, his voice soft and reverent. "It is here that our members come to meditate and seek inner balance, allowing them to better connect with their spiritual selves and the energies of the world around them. As you progress in your training, you will come to understand the importance of cultivating not only your physical abilities but also your mental and spiritual strength. This grove serves as a reminder of the need for harmony in all aspects of one's being."

Orion took a moment to absorb the serene beauty of the grove, feeling a sense of peace and clarity wash over him. He understood that this place would become an essential sanctuary for him as he embarked on the demanding journey ahead.

With a newfound sense of determination, Orion turned to the sect master, ready to begin his training in earnest. The sect master could see the fire burning within Orion's eyes and nodded approvingly, recognizing that the young man was prepared to face the challenges that lay ahead.

"Very well, Orion. Today, we shall focus on the fundamentals of your martial arts training," the sect master said, guiding Orion to a nearby training hall. The hall was a spacious, open area with polished wooden floors and an array of training equipment lining the walls. Students of various levels were already hard at work, diligently practising their techniques under the watchful eyes of their instructors.

As they settled into their designated training area, the sect master asked Orion about something. "Orion, do you always let your beasts do the fight?"

Orion hesitated for a moment before answering. "Yes, Master, I rely on my beasts to handle most of the combat situations I've encountered so far."

The Sect Master thought for a while before saying, "Orion, It is okay for you to rely mostly on your beasts for your fight but when you reached Beast Master Realm, There will be some changes. Tell me, Orion, do you feel that you always can feel the Qi around better after reaching the Beast Master Realm." Sect Master asked Orion earnestly.

Orion furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled by the sect master's question. "I'm not sure, Master," he replied, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "I've heard the term 'Qi' before, but I'm not entirely familiar with what it is or how it relates to my abilities as a Beast Master."

The sect master's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and he realized that this was a crucial gap in Orion's knowledge that needed to be addressed. "My apologies, Orion," he said, his tone gentle but firm. "I assumed that you were already familiar with the concept of Qi. It is my responsibility as your teacher to ensure that you have a solid understanding of this fundamental aspect of our martial arts and cultivation."

"Qi, sometimes referred to as 'life force' or 'energy,' is an invisible force that permeates everything in the universe," the sect master began, his words carefully chosen to provide a clear and concise explanation.

"As martial artists and summoners, we cultivate our Qi to enhance our strength, speed, and other physical and spiritual abilities. When you reached the Beast Master Realm, your connection to the Qi around you became more profound, enabling you to better harness its power and work in harmony with your beasts." The Sect Master said to Orion.

"That is also why, Orion, You can wield the element of your beast. Previously you could not use the element, but you can use it now." The Sect Master said to Orion again, surprising him.

Orion's eyes widened in astonishment as the realization dawned on him. He had indeed felt a change in his abilities since reaching the Beast Master Realm but hadn't fully grasped the reason behind it. "So that's why," he murmured, his mind racing with the implications of this newfound understanding. "I had no idea that my connection to Qi played such a crucial role in my ability to work with my beasts and wield their elemental powers."

The sect master nodded, pleased that Orion was beginning to comprehend the significance of Qi in his cultivation. "Yes, Orion. As you continue to grow and cultivate your Qi, your bond with your beasts will strengthen, and your mastery over their elements will increase. It is essential that you remain diligent in your cultivation, as your progress in the Beast Master Realm will greatly depend on your ability to harness the power of Qi."

A fire ignited within Orion's spirit, fueled by his newfound understanding and the prospect of becoming even more powerful. He could hardly contain his excitement as he envisioned the incredible potential that lay before him.

He also began to remember something; Nova and Stella's power was already in the realm of Mythical Beasts, but they were still in the Legendary Beast Realm. After hearing the explanation from the Sect Master, Orion began to learn that maybe his power as the Beast Master had not fully grown, so that was the reason Nova and Stella were still in Legendary Beast Realm.

His talent, Primordial Mastery, was powerful and able to let Nova and Stella become very strong fast but maybe the power of Mythical Beasts was too hard for Orion to handle in the current condition. It seemed that he needed to work harder for his talent to bloom better.

"Thank you, Master," he said, bowing deeply with gratitude. "I promise to dedicate myself to understanding and mastering Qi for the sake of my growth and the strength of my bond with my beasts."

The sect master smiled warmly, recognizing the fierce determination that now burned within Orion. "I have no doubt that you will achieve great things, Orion. Just remember that the path of cultivation is long and arduous, and patience is key. Take the time to truly understand and integrate each new lesson before moving on to the next. Your journey will be filled with challenges, but if you remain steadfast and committed, you will undoubtedly reach new heights."

With those words of wisdom, Orion embarked on a new chapter in his journey as a Beast Master, filled with excitement and anticipation. He knew that the road ahead would be difficult, but with the guidance of the sect master and the support of his loyal beasts, he was more than ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. His resolve to cultivate his Qi and unlock the full potential of his bond with his beasts had never been stronger, and he was eager to see just how far this newfound understanding would take him.
