REBORN OF THE LEGENDARY BEAST MASTER-Chapter 2 - : The Path Begins

Li Jun took a deep breath, feeling the unfamiliar weight of his new body. His hands clenched into fists, weak and untrained, far from the overwhelming power he once wielded. Even so, his heart burned with determination. He had climbed to the top once—he would do it again.

The door to his room creaked open, and a young boy with sharp eyes and a confident posture stepped inside. His robes were adorned with the emblem of the Li family, a mighty beast inscribed in golden thread.

"Li Jun! Finally awake, are you?" The boy's voice carried a hint of arrogance. "You've been asleep for days after your awakening. I thought you'd end up as a cripple."

Li Jun narrowed his eyes. The boy's tone was familiar—one of superiority, of someone who saw him as nothing more than an obstacle. He scanned him with his All-Knowing Eye out of habit, and information surfaced in his mind.

Name: Li Feng

Cultivation: Mortal Realm (5-Star)

Talent: B-Rank Beast Master

So this was Li Feng, one of the younger generation members of the Li family. A five-star Mortal Realm cultivator, not weak but far from a threat. Li Jun quickly realized that in this life, he was only just awakening. His body was still weak, and among the younger members of the family, he was at the bottom.

But that would change soon.

Li Feng smirked, crossing his arms. "Since you're finally up, come to the training grounds. Let's see if you're actually a Beast Master or just a disgrace to the family."

Before Li Jun could answer, Li Feng turned and left, his mocking laughter echoing through the halls.

Li Jun sighed. He had no interest in wasting time with arrogant brats, but he needed to get a sense of his strength in this life. With effort, he stood, his body still adjusting. The energy within him was faint, but he could feel the foundation of cultivation waiting to be built. He was at the Awakening Stage, the very beginning.

He left the room, following the path that his memories guided him through. The Li family estate was vast, housing one of the strongest Beast Master legacies in the world. Though it had fallen from its former glory, it still stood as a dominant force.

Arriving at the training grounds, he saw a group of young family members already gathered, their eyes lighting up when they saw him. Some whispered to each other, doubt and amusement in their gazes.

Li Feng stood in the center, a proud expression on his face. "You're finally here. We're going to test your strength and see if you even deserve to be called a Beast Master."

One of the elders, a stern-looking man with graying hair, stepped forward. "Since Li Jun has just awakened, we will conduct a talent assessment." His sharp gaze swept over Li Jun. "Step forward and place your hand on the Awakening Stone."

The Awakening Stone was an ancient artifact, glowing with faint golden patterns. It measured a person's Beast Master talent, revealing the rank they could potentially reach.

Li Jun stepped forward, placing his palm on the cold surface of the stone. A faint hum resonated through the air, and the golden veins on the stone flared to life. The crowd held their breath, waiting for the result.

The light flickered. At first, it was dim, barely glowing, making some of the onlookers chuckle.

"Heh, maybe he really is a failure."

But then, the glow intensified. The golden veins spread like wildfire, turning from a faint shimmer into a blinding radiance. The entire training ground was bathed in golden light, and the stone trembled as if responding to an immense force.

Gasps filled the air. Even the elder's face, once indifferent, turned serious.

Then, the light condensed into a single glowing mark on the stone. The golden glow darkened into a deep, fiery red—the mark of SSS-Rank Talent.

Silence fell over the training grounds.

An SSS-Rank Beast Master—the highest possible talent.

Li Feng's face paled, and the arrogance in his eyes was replaced with disbelief.

Li Jun smirked inwardly. He had no interest in boasting, but this was just the beginning. If they thought talent alone was impressive, they had no idea what was coming.

The elder cleared his throat, his voice carrying a new weight of respect. "Li Jun... you possess the rarest level of Beast Master talent. From today onward, you will be trained under the direct guidance of the family's top instructors."

Li Jun met the elder's gaze with calm confidence. He had taken his first step.

Now, his journey to reclaim his throne had begun.
