etc etc, I forgot to do engineering mathematics….., Old devil Zhang will definitely kill me!!!

With a pitiful scream, Zou Liang woke up, looking around the dark room. On one side a big fellow snored loudly enough to shake the sky. He finally realised he would never have to do homework again.

Though he had woken up in the middle of the night, the big fellow beside him was completely unaffected. Zou Liang believed that even if lighting were to strike down, that guy would still be indifferent.

The snores were deafening, making Zou Liang unable to fall asleep. He, regardless of his previous name, was now called Ya Se Xi Bo Lai [TL: Yà sè·xī bó lái]. Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out and grab a cigarette, but unfortunately, there were none here, and, placing both hands behind his head, he sighed and felt that his short mediocre life had taken a glorious turn.

Zou Liang, male, 182 cm in height, graduated from second-rate university located in a declining city, with a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, who, after graduation, got a job and worked for a bit, but returned to the ivory tower[TL: School], because he found that only in school could he play games peacefully.

Specialty: Competitive electronic games……

It seems that this was the only thing that Zou Liang could bring out. He had practiced Tai Chi for a few days, learned a bit of martial arts, randomly played at doing Taekwondo (which he had learned for the sole purpose of being better at gaming) and read a lot of legendary secret martial arts books, the kind that were 10 bucks a peice [TL: RMB. Think of it being like, a dollar or two]. Being a three-time champion of CG3D combat was student Zou Liang’s only pride, and as for his future…..never thought about it.

The situation was like this, on the first snowfall of 2011, which had come earlier than in the past, about to graduate 27 year old “advanced age” Zou Liang decided to cheer himself up with his favorite fighting game for a farewell match. He told his fans that he must retire, but unfortunately, with an explosion, he, along with the Internet cafe, bid farewell to the world.

At that time, Zou Liang’s brain only had one thought: Let bro finish this final fight, my combo is only halfway finished, ** has not come yet!!!

When he woke up, he had already been transported to this strange world. He became a Bi Er of the Bear tribe. He rather liked his new body, the height was about the same as his old body, but according to the previous owner’s memories, his body in Bi Er’s tribe was rather weak and thin. To put it simply, this guy was unpopular.

These two people had some common ground, they were both orphans. Ya Se Xi Bo Lai and Ou Nisi Te Xi Bo Lai [TL: ōu nísī tè·xī bó lái ], sleeping soundly next to him, were brothers. But they were not blood related, they were adopted. Their adoptive old man had died last year, luckily he had left a little bit of money behind. With that bit of money, as well as Ou Nisi Te doing some menial labors, they were barely able to maintain their lives at War College.

Ou Nisi Te’s personality was simple and honest, using Zou Liang’s previous world’s words, he was all brawn no brain. Honestly speaking, he was a fool.

This world was called Amond, the beast god continent. He was currently located in the Mengjia empire. It was a world ruled by beasts, but these beasts were not pets, they did not fill the streets like furry animals, in general, they were pretty much like humans. The only difference was that on the top of every beast’s head was the print of an animal. It is said that was a gift from the old Beast God. Each race was different. In short, that was the special role of the tattoo.

Zou Liang, who had received formal education from childhood, grudgingly tolerated the tattoos, for when in Rome, do as the Romans do. But just thinking about the role of the Beast Essence  prints gave him a headache, because the previous owner was so hung up on it.

This world had several materialistic doctrines that Zou Liang could not adapt to. Through the Beast Spirit Mark, one could enter a space called “Beast Spirit Realm”. It was not a place where people gathered to dine, but one of pure battle. In Zou Liang’s view, this place was an isolated space, up there existed a battle alter. Up there, warriors carried out battles, with the winner taking the Beast Essence of the loser, thus becoming more powerful. A beast could chose whether or not to enter, after all, there were many ways to make Beast Essence  stronger. But Ya Se this guy…….

How to say this…

Perhaps because of his frail body, he was abandoned as a child, and has always been working strenuously to prove himself. The old bear who adopted him had only one wish on his deathbed. He wished that Arthur could become a robust warrior of the Bi Er clan. That’s why Ya Se spent practically all his time on training. In his eyes, winning a victory in the Beast Spirit Realm was symbolic of warriors. That’s why…in five years he lost 81 bouts. In other words, all of his Beast Essence was taken away. When Zou Liang possessed him, Ya Se had just experienced another defeat. With this last defeat he returned to a normal person.

Maybe because the impression was too deep, but when Zou Liang recalled the memory even he felt terrible. Although he admired the other’s tenacity, this was simply too….retarded!

The Meng Jia empire was not barbaric at all, on the contrary it was quite developed, it seemed to be approximate to the European era [TL: I think this should be right around when Europe was conquering the New World]. The importance of War College was not at all inferior to Zou Liang’s society. In addition to professional combat skills, War College also offered all classes on all other aspects of the vocation.

However, in this world where the strong ruled, Zou Liang did not dare to have any ambitions, just wanting to live peacefully and securely through this not true, not false, difficult to determine life, surviving one day at a time, or go back to his old world, either was fine.

Little by little, Zou Liang went to sleep, withstanding that thunder like snoring. He dreamed of Ya Se in the Beast Spirit World, getting beat up again and again, but not beaten down in spirit. That kind of perseverance, to the current Zou Liang, was really a problem. Now that you’ve gone, go with a peace of mind. It’s not that big bro [TL: Referring to himself] doesn’t want to help you achieve your dreams, it’s just that the conditions are worse, it really is like clay Buddha crossing a river [TL: implies that it’s super hard]

Dawn arrived, and Ou Nisi Te was already practicing his martial arts. Before, it was always Arthur who woke him up, but older brother had been sleeping better recently. Not only that, but brother was also practicing a new method. Ernest admired his older brother very much, because his big brother had a smart brain and would one day become a heroic warrior.

Ou Nisi Te was probably the only person who still had such a naive idea.

Zou Liang woke up naturally. The place they lived in was pretty shoddy, this was a given. They were barely able to pay tuition for the first year, and he didn’t know where they would land up next year. Currently, he was working part-time in the library. For Beasts, this kind of broken job was the one nobody wanted to do, but to Zou Liang this was a great thing to do. Not only could he doze off, he also didn’t need to fight groups of burly dudes in hand-to-hand. This was a fantastic thing.

Actually, for a person who lived in a peaceful environment, suddenly arriving in this strange place, this was not insane, this was normal.

Mengjia Empire had eight major provinces. Ya Se resided in Yelusamo city, an important city located in the southern part of Yao God province. As one of the empire’s top-tier cities, it was very prosperous. Yelusamo War College was known in the city as the 3rd biggest buildings(the first two being the Temple, and the Master Spirit Engravers Association). The War college had two systems, one for combat professions, and one for for non-combat professions.

Combat professions included: archers, shadow hunters, battle hymn priests, wild beast warriors, and armored warriors; the five major professions.

It can’t be denied that they were connected to beast essence. Once a beast’s Beast Essence accumulated to a certain level it would change. There were two directions it could change, one way was a beast transformation; changing into a giant monster that corresponded with your clan’s race. The other was an armor transformation; you could conjure up armor on your body. The armor also had various attributes attached.

Generally speaking, archers, shadow hunters, and battle hymn priests would choose the armored transformation, while beasts transformed according to their profession’s characteristics. Wild Beast warriors are all Beast clan’s soldiers who chose beast transformations. Their fighting prowess was amazing, but this cultivation path also had it’s pros and cons. It lacked the technical aspect and expansion/dilation aspect of armored soldiers.

Armored soldiers; the transformation of all one’s beast essence to become a suit of armor, becoming an armor wearing fighter. This was considered a more aristocratic profession. Like archers, shadow hunters and battle hymn priests needed the armor transformation to fully carry out their profession’s characteristics. While they were forming a suitable weapon, soldiers who could beast transform could just transform immediately and easily gain effective combative abilities. Armored soldiers were more troublesome because they themselves could not transform, but required the aid of a master Spirit Engraver.

One doesn’t dare to not mention master Spirit Engravers. In this continent where theocracy was supreme, master Spirit Engravers were a particularly special group, one that no one dared to provoke. The Master Spirit Engravers Association was one that was ** more formidable, for every beast that wished to become strong required a master Spirit Engraver to form their beast essence into their desired shape, and a master Spirit Engraver could determine the success or failure of the transformation, as well as the quality.

Beast transformation breakthrough happens when Beast Essence is accumulated to a certain point, and broken through under the guidance of a master Spirit Engraver.

Becoming an armored soldier was a casting [TL:an object made by pouring molten metal or other material into a mold.] progress with the help of a master Spirit Engraver. Beast Essence is changed into a helmet, armor, arm guards, shin guards, shields, and pieces of weaponry. This process is obviously very complex.

Beast transformations, Armor Transformations, and other transformations are divided into levels: White, Copper, Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, and Diamond. Each level required a corresponding master Spirit Engraver that matched the level. Of course there was also a legendary level that existed in legends.  [TL: redundant much?]

Beast transformation is characterized by its low degree of difficulty, especially the first transformation. You could learn the basics at War college and then carry out the transformation by yourself. Of course, economic conditions permitting, you could go find a master Spirit Engraver thereby raising your chances of success, after all, a breakthrough failure would result in the loss of alot of Beast Essence. One drawback was the the breakthrough had to be complete, and not partial. For example, from the White level to the Copper level, you must accumulate enough Beast Essence to completely transform your entire body, not one half at a time.

Armor transformation’s advantage lies in the fact that one could refine according to the characteristic of their chosen profession, maximizing to the degree human technology and one’s own attributes. Archers focused their Beast Essence to form good bows and arrows, placing emphasis on agility attributes, Shadow hunters on forming suitable daggers or claws with an emphasis on speed and agility attributes, and Battle Hymn Priests on helmets with an emphasis on blessing power to enhance both their range and boosting effect.

Armor transformation allowed partial upgrades. Generally people usually upgradeed their weapon first, then successively upgraded their equipment based on their profession. This was on the basis of cultivating prominent features of your chosen profession. This method had little waste and was also safer.

Speaking of armored soldiers, it’s not wrong to say that it is a very extravagant path. Because the soldier vocation is more balanced, everything had to be good, requiring a lot of Beast Essence. But relying on your own cultivation was not enough, you also needed a master Spirit Engraver, otherwise everything would go to waste. However, once formed, and obtaining the silver level, that fighting power would be quite formidable, so this was usually the aristocrat’s choice.

But armor transformation had one more benefit, its greatest advantage…it was suave!

For most female beasts, in consideration for their beauty, there would basically be no female wild beast warriors. They were usually archers, shadow hunters, or battle hymn priests. In the more noble families, like the Bisi Mai swan family, there would emerge the rare female armored warrior, but with their status, it was quite normal.

All this was very distant to the Xi Bo Lai brothers. Ya Se did not gather his Beast Essence to breakthrough the first level, and lost all of it in battle. Sometimes Zou Liang was also very strange. If he had not lost so many times, and had saved his essence instead, what good opportunities could he have obtained to break through? But sometimes the Bi Er clan were a bit block headed, with one track minds.

Ou Nisi Te had actually obtained two chances to break through, but failed both times. He regarded his Beast Essence break though as a profound thing. Frankly speaking, it was absolutely impossible for him to break through without the guidance of a master Spirit Engraver. And with their situation, they clearly could not afford a master Spirit Engraver, not even one of the lowest level, a White stage master Spirit Engraver.
