The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth



The strange man said, "That's good; I can guide you better if I know your actual body parameters. Let's start the training. From what I can see, you only know how to use one skill; otherwise, you don't know any shadow element skills."

"Your control of the Shadow Element is shallow. What have you done till now, and how are you able to survive without even using it? Shadow Element is a tough element to master, and at first it is one of the weakest, but when one can use it properly, this element becomes a top-tier element, almost undefeated in some conditions."

"Show me if you know to do anything else than the cool skill you used before."

Rishi thought for a while about whether to show him or not, but at last, he decided that there was no need to hide if he wanted to improve. He used the shadow energy inside him and summoned a one-foot shadow monster. It was the version two model that he had come up with.

It had crab-like legs, two tentacles with sharp ends, and a mosquito-like head. It wasn't that good-looking, but it did the job.

The person before Rishi was stunned; he could not understand how it could happen. He asked, "How is this possible? How can a brat like you use the shadow element like that? Do you have any shadow-related job class, or is it because of Elemental Control skill?"

Rishi didn't know it was such a big deal. He coughed and replied, "I have 'umbrakinesis' skill." He looked down because he guessed what the reaction of the person in front of him would be.

"You have what? Why a brat like you able to get such good luck?" he screamed as he held his head. "And what have you achieved while having this ability? You idiot; you should have gone into seclusion for some years and mastered this skill."

"Do you know how tough it is to have elemental control? Listen, every person that receives an element needs to increase their affinity and control to a very high level to control the element, but then there are some lucky people who can get elemental control."

"With minimal effort, they can control the element at will, and they are even able to learn elemental skills related to their element very easily, while some talented ones are even able to create their own techniques, and then there are people like you who are bringing shame to all people with the shadow element."

"You don't get Elemental Control, which is rated between Low, Mid, High, and Top Tier, but Umbrakinesis, which is slightly difficult but has a very high growth potential. If I were in your shoes, I would have already gone into seclusion and not come out till I was able to master my control."

"I am sorry to disappoint you, sir. My situation is not very suitable for going into seclusion right now. I will go into seclusion for sometime later; I have applied for this course to learn from you and save time. Please teach me; I am a quick learner, and I will be able to learn everything very fast," said Rishi with his head down.

The person sighed before saying, "OK, then, sit down and meditate. Don't use any skills; try to sense the shadow element around you. You were able to sense me and the shadow monsters around you, and I believe it will not take you long to do so."

Rishi sat down in a lotus position; he was already very good at meditating, making it easy for him. He started to sense the shadow element around him without using 'Extreme Focus.' It took a lot of time, but he remained patient and kept trying.

One hour passed; he was now able to sense some cold presence in the surroundings, but he was still unable to feel anything. He kept trying without having a single thought of giving up.

After another hour, he could sense a change in his surroundings but still could not feel anything. He suddenly got an idea: I am not allowed to use any skill, but spiritual energy doesn't come under any skill. He started using it and was able to sense his surroundings little by little.

He was suddenly able to sense black smoke all around him. After doing so, he started to attract it towards himself, and after some time, the area around him had a high concentration of the shadow element. He wanted to stop, but when he saw that the tutor had not told him to stop, he continued.

He now started to control the shadow element around him. At first, he could only control a little smoke, but after a while, he could control the smoke in a one-meter area. After an hour, he was able to hide himself in a cloud made up of shadow energy.

More time passed, and the amount of his control increased. After six hours, the instructor said, "Stop. I have not come here to see you have fun with the shadow element. You have an exceptional aptitude, and with Umbrakinesis, your comprehension speed regarding the shadow element is even crazier."

"From now on, use any skill that you possess to increase your learning ability, as I am about to teach you very fast," he said before taking out a table and continuing, "See, every object has a shadow; if you want to control it, you just need to gather the shadow element around it and insert it inside the shadow before using your thoughts to control the shadow."

"It requires focus; once you can achieve it, I will explain to you other things," he said before pointing at the table. He first moved the table without touching it before lifting it and putting it back. "Practice it for ten minutes; I have some important business, so I will come shortly."

Rishi started training; he activated his 'Extreme Focus' and started practicing. It took him two minutes to move the table, but that was only a partial success; he kept trying. After two more minutes, he could move the table on his own. He has now started to learn how to lift it.

He only needed one more minute to learn how to lift objects. He was bored now, so he started to use the stable's shadow to move while lifting the table. After that, he started controlling the shadow to make it move faster. He suddenly got an idea and used the shadow to lift and throw the chair up before catching it. The more time passed, the more things he tried.
