What you think a spoiled young master is like: commanding divine beasts, spending money like water, and throwing his weight around under the protection of a top beast-taming clan.
The real Zhao Shi: an “odd one out” whom his family considers a layabout, obsessed with dusty old books and archaeological ruins. While his peers shine on the dueling stage, he cares more about why an ancient civilization collapsed overnight and what secrets lie at the source of his contracted beasts’ bloodlines.
Until that day:
The Ash Trial begins, and the shadow of the Guixu Order descends alongside the gift of a frozen ruin.
The silver markings on the neck of his contracted Gale-Howling Stalker Lion turn out to be the key to deciphering an ancient “Array Core.”
What he digs out of the dust of history isn’t an antique, but forbidden knowledge capable of overturning the modern beast-taming system, along with the brutal truth behind a buried project called “Firewall.”
And so, on the grandest stage of the Dome Debate:
His clan’s sworn enemy sneers, “Beast tamers should conquer everything with strength!”
A prodigy from the academy says coldly, “History? That’s just an epitaph for losers.”
Zhao Shi pushes up a pair of nonexistent glasses. The Wind Lion growls softly beside him, ancient energy patterns reflected in its eyes.
“Sorry, but in my field…”
“Knowledge is power. History is the strongest contracted beast of all.”
Armed with an archaeologist’s pick as his blade and buried truths as his shield, he’ll carve out a path of his own in this age where beast tamers reign supreme: a “third way.”
