Mu Xing is reborn.
After tragically drowning while rescuing a child who had fallen into the water, he never expected to get another chance at life.
At sixteen again, he's torn over whether he should go to Tsinghua or Peking University in the future, when he suddenly realizes that the world after his rebirth seems a little different from the one he remembers.
Why has his high school English textbook turned into Fundamentals of Beast Taming?
What is the Twelfth National College Beast Taming League?
And Uncle Wang next door, why can you summon a fire-breathing monkey with a card?
Can someone tell him, has he gone crazy, or has the world?
This is a world where supernatural creatures and humans live side by side.
After an accident, the divine beast Emperor Phoenix Di Jing is reborn in a blaze of fire as an egg and forms a once-in-a-lifetime beast-taming contract with a human boy.
Since it will take some time to recover his original strength, Di Jing can only show himself as a "red-haired chick" for now. Everyone sees him as the most useless of all phantom beasts. And Mu Xing, the human boy who takes advantage of him by forming a beast-taming contract, becomes a laughingstock too.
Fortunately, in this world, humans can use special crystal cards to command phantom beasts, and can even fuse with them to evolve and fight together.
Thinking he's found the right way to tame beasts, Mu Xing sets off down a path from which there's no return: fighting his phantom beast for control of their shared body.
Mu Xing: This enemy is too strong for you. Leave it to me! Ora ora ora!
Di Jing: ...
Mu Xing: You're too delicate. Let me handle this! Muda muda muda!
Di Jing: ...
Mu Xing: Don't be scared! I'll beat it up for you! Wryyyyyyyy!
Di Jing, a noble mage forced by Mu Xing to take over the controls and turned into a brawler who only knows how to fight hand-to-hand: I really can't thank you enough :)
CP: Hot-blooded, dim-witted beast tamer x a contract beast who says one thing but means another. Either pairing is fine.
Theme: Strive tirelessly to improve yourself
