Liu Yulin's ability to comprehend the jade slip in such a short time is undoubtedly very exciting news.

This signifies that the research on beasts by the rabbits has entered a whole new field.

Even though the current level of information mastery in this field is not high, and it feels like a deep and tight darkness ahead, it does not change the fact that the rabbits have already squeezed in.

To a certain extent, this also propels the still nascent 'soul' research.

Because after taming the beast, a mysterious contractual chain forms between the cultivator and the beast.

This contract chain is not just about a beast fetching a tossed disc with a howl. It encompasses a deeper level of 'communication'—a direct, mystical mental connection between the two.

This is undoubtedly an issue of the soul's level.

The soul and the body, such enduring topics for humanity.....

Of course, these studies only have rather broad prospects at this stage, and achieving formal results still has a long way to go.

Returning to the military base's perspective.

After emerging from the secret chamber, Liu Yulin underwent another physical examination, but this time the process was much more complicated than before.

As the core of military strength within the entire frontier system, the military base has not only the capability for military research and maintenance but also a certain level of self-research capabilities in various fields.

In special cases, it can undertake some functions of the Life Experiment Base.

Thus, besides the military factory, it also has some other categorized laboratories within.

Liu Yulin arrived at a standard biological laboratory, equipped with numerous instruments of considerable precision.

Although it does not reach the avant-garde level of the Plant Biology Laboratory, it is enough to make many biological scientists drool.

After entering the laboratory, Liu Yulin not only had his blood sampled but also had his brainwaves and chemical signals recorded and archived.

The process was very complex and tedious, but this had been communicated before the compatibility testing; every warrior had signed a consent form.

After completing all the procedures, Liu Yulin was taken to a chair in a small room.

This room wasn't large, with a ping-pong table on the side and dumbbells in the corner, as if it had been converted from an activity room, which made Liu Yulin feel somewhat relaxed.

A moment later, a woman in a white coat walked in from outside and sat opposite him.

As the first reservist beast taming cultivator in the entire camp, Liu Yulin was bound to undergo a series of data collection after comprehending the jade slip, as this was "solitary data" the rabbits had never encountered before.

Just recently, Cao Yi had a similar process after refining two mysterious items discovered by Wang Qiang and Wu Fan. He was even asked to write a 1,500-word essay in the first person.

This essay was circulated among all the warriors in the camp with Spiritual Roots above three, essentially public shaming.

However, this data collection was different from interrogating a criminal, nor was it unethical live research. Moreover, the subject was one of their own.

Thus, the command center did not isolate Liu Yulin in a small dark room, watching him through glass like some white-haired old men watching a monkey.

Instead, they arranged for a female researcher to engage with him face-to-face, minimizing stress and misunderstanding to the greatest extent possible.

The female researcher sitting opposite Liu Yulin was about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, with short hair, exuding a very competent demeanor. Upon seating, she generously extended her hand to Liu Yulin:

"Hello, my name is Li Yan, from the Plant Biology Laboratory, and I'm the recorder for this inquiry conversation."

Seeing her outstretched left hand, Liu Yulin swallowed with some difficulty. This man, who dared to throw a punch at Major General Man on the battlefield, was unexpectedly somewhat awkward now.

After all, any warrior selected for the Damo Realm, even if just a cook or serviceman, was surely elite, and hence didn't interact with the opposite sex much in daily life, even with female soldiers.

However, after hesitating for a while, Liu Yulin eventually shook hands with Li Yan and then let go immediately:

"Hello, I am Liu Yulin."

After releasing the handshake.

Li Yan adjusted her notebook on the table, uncapped her pen, indicating the official start of the conversation, and then asked:

"Comrade Yulin, could you describe the process when you were comprehending the jade slip? Did you encounter any unusual situations?

Like falling into an illusion? Or perhaps an old man with a white beard appeared to teach you some flashy technique?"

Perhaps due to the relaxing effect of the handshake, Liu Yulin had more or less composed himself by this point. After pondering for a while, he slowly said:

"At first, I didn't really feel much, didn't encounter any illusions. Just that the jade slip was a bit cold in temperature."

Li Yan keenly noticed a detail and quickly signaled him to pause:

"Wait, you said the jade slip was a bit cold? Exactly how cold?"

Liu Yulin scratched his head, squinting slightly as if trying to recall, and answered:

"Yes, the jade slip was extremely cold, almost couldn't hold onto it.

My hometown is in Yu State Nanyang, where Nanyang jade is from. I played with many jade pieces as a child, but never touched one this cold. The temperature… I estimate it was close to zero degrees."

The notebook in Li Yan's hand was actually a tool to alleviate mental stress, while the real recording of the conversation was done by the concealed recording devices in the room.

In another room, listening to the transcribed conversation, Lin Ziming picked up a report and immediately frowned:

"A zero-degree feel? But the chemical test showed the jade slip's temperature was twenty-one degrees, and all of us have held the jade slip before; the temperature shouldn't be that low."

Longxing River remained silent for a few seconds. He had also personally held the jade slip and knew its temperature couldn't possibly be close to zero, but he had great trust in Liu Yulin and quickly explained:

"But I know Xiaoliu; he's a very simple and honest lad. He wouldn't lie."

"Hey, Old Dragon, no need to be hasty. I never said Comrade Yulin was lying. If I didn't trust him, I'd have used a lie detector by now."

Lin Ziming waved his hand at him to calm him, saying:

"I just think there might be something about this temperature.

Maybe the jade slip transmits information by cooling? At least we can conduct research in this area....."

Only then did Longxing River nod, pointing at the screen:

"Then let's continue watching."

On the screen, Liu Yulin and Li Yan continued their conversation:

"..... Later, I closed my eyes and concentrated intensely. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, a light flashed in front of me, and then a technique automatically inscribed itself in my mind."

Li Yan's eyes lit up instantly:

"Inscribed in your mind? So you can now recite it for others to cultivate?"

Although Liu Yulin currently had the highest compatibility among the warriors, there were also two candidates with three-foot one and four to five candidates with three-foot compatibility behind him.

Due to the jade slip's inheritance being activated only once in a short period, these warriors temporarily couldn't engage in related comprehension.

If Liu Yulin could recite the related inheritance, wouldn't these warriors have a chance?

However, while the ideal was beautiful, reality was harsh.

Liu Yulin shook his head:

"The content of the technique isn't in Huaxia's characters; I can understand the meaning but can't express it. You don't believe me, see..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan looked up and saw Liu Yulin opening and closing his mouth, but no sound was coming out.

Meanwhile, in the monitoring room, several linguists also shook their heads:

"There's no pattern to the lip movements; we can't decipher the content."

Afterward, under Lin Ziming and the others' suggestion, Li Yan tried handwriting, Morse code, and many other methods, but all ended in failure.

Li Yan meticulously documented all this, preparing to take it back to the Plant Biology Laboratory for further analysis.

She pondered for a few seconds, then drew a line under the recorded entry "unable to express information" and wrote 'shortwave suppression or chemical signals,' adding a question mark.

Then she asked:

"Comrade Yulin, what's the deal with the beasts you can tame?"

Liu Yulin thought for a while and said:

"The Beast Taming Technique can cultivate a void contract called the beast-taming chain. It works like... like a dog leash. I hold one end, tether a beast to the other, and it's done.

The actual beast-taming chain can officially be performed at Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation. Each major realm... that is, Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, allows taming of a beast not surpassing one's cultivation level.

Moreover, once a beast is slain, a Beast Taming Cultivator cannot re-contract another beast until the next stage.

However, since I have just received the inheritance, I can now forcibly tame a beast that hasn't entered a higher stage."

Li Yan blinked:

"Forcible taming?"

Liu Yulin nodded:

"Yes, that's the insight I gained along with the technique. As long as the beast's level doesn't exceed Stage One, I can forcibly tame it, even if it breaks through its level later.

If the beast harbors no resistance, this limit can be raised slightly, not restricted to unclassified beasts, but not by much unless they completely forsake hostilities and submit..."

"And what's the highest level you can raise it to?"

Liu Yulin thought for a moment and answered:

"It's hard to say for sure, but I reckon the mid-level of Stage One at most, as it's difficult for beasts to completely submit to humans."

Li Yan gave him a peculiar look: "So, this thing is a newbie package of sorts..."
